Chapter 186 - 185: Desire Rune (First Update, Please Subscribe)
Returning to the cave mansion, Lu Xuanji counted his gains.
In ten years, the first layer of [Vertical Earth Golden Light] had reached small success, [Celestial Wood Technique] had reached great success, [Pure Yang True Flame] had reached great success, and [Elemental Magnetic Celestial Saber] had reached small success, making his combat power quite decent among Purple Mansion Cultivators.
He also contemplated the anomaly [Pure Yang Great Sun], feeling that when unleashed, it would boost his combat power by three layers and suppress enemies by three layers, serving as a significant trump card.
The downside was that using [Pure Yang Great Sun] consumed a large amount of True Essence, and could only be maintained for ten breaths.
It could be used as a desperate measure, but not as a regular trump card.
Meanwhile, the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, Li Fire Sword, and others were also improving in grade, reaching the early stage of the third grade.
After reaching the third grade, the conversion speed of Spiritual Qi by the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron was accelerating.
The amount of Spiritual Liquid at the bottom of the Great Cauldron was increasing.
The amount of Spiritual Liquid condensed daily was equivalent to one hundred Spirit Stones.
The amount of Spiritual Liquid generated annually was equivalent to more than thirty-six thousand Spirit Stones.
Refining the Spiritual Liquid added a certain bonus to cultivation speed, and entering the Heaven Mending Cauldron, utilizing twenty times the Spiritual Pressure, accelerated the cultivation speed, but it was still somewhat slow.
Considering all these factors, it averaged about twenty-five years to improve one layer.
