Chapter 757 755: Half a Year
"Wind Roar Stone Elixir and Red Wind Wings are treasures that you all should recognize. I require some wondrous objects or heavenly materials with wind and rain attributes for my cultivation. From now on, I ask that you pay attention to such treasures in your vaults."
Wind Roar Stone Elixir and Red Wind Wings are quite outstanding among the second tier.
The five experts understood at a glance.
Upon hearing Xu Yang's purpose, they all nodded in response.
This is not a bad thing.
Paying attention to such treasures and informing Xu Yang isn't a free favor, he would still need to purchase them.
This would also help foster better relations with Xu Yang.
A win-win situation.
"Rest assured, Mr. Xu. If I find any such treasures, I'll have them set aside and notify you."
"Mr. Xu, don't worry."
"If you have any other needs, feel free to come to us anytime."
"Thank you."
Xu Yang clasped his fists in salute.
With the help of the five major factions, things would certainly be much easier.
Soon after, he left together with Second Senior Brother and Eldest Senior Brother.
Having obtained three Golden Immortal Talismans, as well as two wind-attributed treasures, this trade fair had truly satisfied him.
With business concluded, Yi Que was ready to return directly to the sect.
However, Eldest Senior Brother insisted on staying a while longer—he had noticed how extraordinary Xu Yang's physique was, and it was perfect for testing some of his theories.
To this, Yi Que could only sigh that Eldest Senior Brother and Little Junior Brother were birds of a feather.
After seeing Yi Que off, Eldest Senior Brother remained at Four Spirits Immortal Mountain for over half a month, then left, thoroughly satisfied.
"Finally gone."
Xu Yang couldn't help but sigh.
This past half month had been absolute hell.
Utterly miserable.
Even with the Immaculate Purified Body, he had nearly been unable to withstand it.
After realizing how remarkable his physique was, Eldest Senior Brother showed no mercy at all.
But thinking of the promises Eldest Senior Brother had made, Xu Yang swiftly cast the painful memories aside.
Once Eldest Senior Brother had prepared numerous elixirs, Xu Yang would be well protected for his journey to the Eastern Continent in half a year.
Xu Yang adjusted his condition, then began cultivating once more.
Several days later.
After completely dispelling the lingering discomfort from the 'Experimental Elixir,' Xu Yang swallowed the Wind Roar Stone Elixir in one gulp.
Roar!
A violent roar, mixed with cutting, raging winds, surged in his ears.
A wave of wild turbulence swept across his whole body.
Xu Yang trembled slightly but did nothing to resist, letting the Wind Roar Stone Elixir's surging waves crash through him.
Whoosh!
A vision rose before his eyes, as if he had transformed into a Wind Howling Unicorn, beginning its cultivation from childhood, rampaging through the mountain wilds…
Including its unique bloodline transformations, gradually cultivating, evolving all manner of wind attributes.
Xu Yang instinctively visualized the Windfall Immortal Wilds, at the same time immersing himself in the wind attribute changes, thirsty for more.
The wind attribute changes within the Wind Roar Stone Elixir were foundational, primitive—from weak to strong. Immersing in it felt as if he was touching the wind attribute step by step, gradually growing.
The experience was both profound and astonishing.
His grasp of the wind attribute deepened steadily.
Two days later.
The mysterious waves gradually faded away.
Xu Yang's consciousness stirred and he snapped out of his trance.
After slight reflection, Xu Yang's eyes lit up with joy.
"The changes within this Stone Elixir have nearly patched up all my foundational gaps in the wind attribute."
"Wind attribute—formless, without substance, ever-changing.…"
"Once the foundation is filled, any treasure containing wind attributes can continue to accumulate upon this basis."
Cultivating the four Immortal Techniques requires precisely such accumulation.
Sudden enlightenment is unrealistic.
"By comparison, the Red Wind Wings should be a single established form among wind attribute changes."
Xu Yang didn't hesitate; while the Wind Roar Stone Elixir's insights still lingered, he took out the Red Wind Wings and merged them into his physical body.
Buzz!
A pair of delicate wings tore through the flesh of his back, gradually merging in.
As time passed, the wings released scarlet immortal mist, radiant light shimmering, and then slowly sank into his back and disappeared from sight.
The unique wind attribute nurtured within the Red Wind Wings also manifested in Xu Yang's perception.
Extreme speed—by distorting and shaking the world through the utmost wind attributes, granting absolute velocity.
Just as he had surmised.
Only one kind of wind attribute change.
Yet among immortal beasts of the same tier, the Red Ming Wind Cloud Sparrow's speed, made possible by these wings, was undoubtedly unmatched.
The Windfall Immortal Wilds is built up from various wind attribute changes, forming a towering mountain—the ultimate peak.
After fully digesting the essences of these two treasures, Xu Yang would study the Windfall Immortal Wilds again, gaining new insight and further progress.
In the days that followed, Xu Yang nearly shut himself away, cultivating and nothing else.
Only when a miraculous immortal elixir ripened would he go out briefly.
Four Spirits Immortal Mountain was tranquil.
After the trading fair, Four Spirits Town also returned to its former calm.
No more killers lurking about—just as before.
The Yang Family, though greatly harmed, showed no sign of reaction, as if they had swallowed their grievances whole.
No unexpected events occurred, leaving Xu Yang free to focus wholeheartedly on his cultivation.
Unknowingly, the half-year guard period drew near its end.
That day, as the cauldron's spiritual energy was exhausted, Xu Yang awakened from cultivation.
"If I calculate correctly, the guard duty is almost over."
Xu Yang mused, somewhat wistful.
Time seemed to fly by.
Unconsciously, half a year had passed.
Continuous cultivation, with no lack of resources, meant rapid progress.
Peak of True Immortal.
However, to break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm, the resources required were beyond what Four Spirits Immortal Mountain could provide.
"It's enough. With my current strength, there's hardly anyone below Golden Immortal who can stand against me."
"The Windfall Immortal Wilds is nearly perfected."
During his cultivation, he had gone out several times to collect wind and rain attribute treasures that the five major factions had set aside for him in Four Spirits Town.
Progress in the Windfall Immortal Wilds was rapid.
Now, his own cultivation level was the only limit to truly unleashing the power of this technique.
As for the Immortal Slaying Rain, there weren't many suitable treasures found.
He still hadn't entered its basic level—though the single strike it derived had grown much stronger.
"I wonder what realm Liou Xueyan has reached now?"
A flash of sharp light gleamed in Xu Yang's eyes.
Five months ago, Liou Xueyan was already at the Late Stage of Celestial Immortal.
After so much time, she'd surely advanced.
However, breaking through to Golden Immortal was surely impossible.
Even for a genius like Liou Xueyan, advancing from Celestial Immortal to Golden Immortal was extremely hard.
It could take a year or two.
At that thought, Xu Yang exhaled and slowly rose to his feet.
When the guard duty ended, he'd first return to report, then prepare to set out for the Eastern Continent.
Stepping out of his room, Xu Yang was taken aback.
"It doesn't seem to be night. So why is the celestial phenomenon so brilliant and clear?"
Compared to before, the stars were far brighter and clearer, outshining the sky and making it dim and strangely eerie.
"Sir, you've left seclusion."
Lin Lang approached from afar, beaming happily upon seeing Xu Yang.
Xu Yang nodded slightly, pointing to the sky: "What's going on?"
Lin Lang glanced up, then replied with a bitter smile, "I'm not sure either. This change has been happening for several days."
"The stars are prominent in daylight, obscuring the sky; at night, the entire heavens are different from before."
"Also, it seems that the four immortal mountains have changed as well."
"Hmm?"
Xu Yang was startled, full of suspicion: "What kind of changes?"
"Sir, you'll see for yourself."
"I can't quite put it into words, but it seems like a good thing."
Lin Lang scratched his head and led Xu Yang toward a cave at the base of one of the immortal mountains.
For the moment, Xu Yang's curiosity was thoroughly piqued.
