Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

Zheng Fa was unaware that the two Nascent Souls of Jiushan Sect had been mentioning his name all night long.

After returning home, he had been focusing on his cultivation.

Ever since he adjusted the Right Stand No Shadow Talisman and the Frost Blade Talisman, he felt that his cultivation had become a bit smoother, and he sensed that he was on the verge of breaking through to the third level of Qi Refining.

Zheng Fa had looked into the cultivation speeds of various Spirit Roots.

The gap between a Single Spirit Root and a Dual Spirit Root is actually quite significant—

Generally speaking, a Single Spirit Root could reach the tenth level of Qi Cultivation within about a year and attempt Foundation Establishment.

But for a Dual Spirit Root like Zheng Fa, even with diligent effort, it would take three to five years to reach the tenth level of Qi Cultivation.

If one is preoccupied with making a living and dealing with various matters, it’s common to spend eight or nine years.

This happens quite often—disciples with Single Spirit Roots often have a Master’s support and just need to focus on cultivation, but those with Dual Spirit Roots rarely receive such treatment.

After reaching the tenth level of Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment is another hurdle—Foundation Establishment requires Foundation Pills, which are also scarce and valuable.

For Qi Refinement Realm disciples to purchase such elixirs is really beyond their means, often requiring many years of arduous saving.
