Chapter 39 - Spirit Stones and Jingya PavilionYu Family, third floor of the treasury!
Spirit Stones were not precious treasures in the Profound Sky Continent, especially in the sects. They were one of the benefits an elite disciple could get.
However, 99% of the spirit veins that the Profound Sky Continent s produced were controlled by sects, empires, and top families.
Ordinary forces had no way to obtain spirit stones. Martial pract.i.tioners in remote locations had never even heard of a cultivation resource like spirit stones, let alone seen one.
Even though the monopoly of a top power was tyrannical, it was a world where one relied on one"s fists to speak. Even if one did not accept it, one had to accept it.
At this time, looking at the dozen or so Grade Nine Spirit Stones on the jade tray, Yu Haoran was extremely excited, but a trace of doubt rose in his heart.
Since there were spirit stones in the treasury, especially those of Grade One Grade Nine spirit stones, why didn"t the elders of the clan, as well as Yu Hongyang who was in a hurry to increase his strength, use these spirit stones to increase his cultivation?
One must know that a Grade Nine spirit stone was almost comparable to a Grade Ten Spirit Pill. Moreover, the spiritual energy contained within could be absorbed and refined to increase the speed of cultivation and speed of cultivation.
Actually, what Yu Haoran did not know was that these ten or so spirit stones belonged to his father. He had kept these spirit stones with him until he had collected enough resources to break through the Wu Zong realm.
However, Yu Hongzhi did not have any storage bag s to store the items, so these ten or so Stage Nine spirit stones were on him, which was neither convenient nor safe.
Therefore, he could only place it in the treasury. Moreover, he could only carry the one token that allowed him to enter the treasury"s third floor with him.
Only, a year ago, that secret battle had caused Yu Hongzhi"s accidental death.
After the dark battle ended, no one found Yu Hongzhi"s body, which also meant that they had lost their only means of proof to reach the third floor of the treasury.
Not only were they tightly guarded, the restrictions they had set up were very strong. If they wanted to forcefully break through the shackles of the second level, they would need the strength of a Martial Master, which was something that many people in Yu Family had.
But to pa.s.s the restriction on the third floor of the treasury, one would need the strength of their Wu Zong realm. Forget about the Yu Family, even the number one expert in existence in the Pingyang City would not be able to enter the treasury by relying on his own strength.
Therefore, the few old fellows from the Yu Family and the Great Clan Elder could only envy the treasure mountain, but had no way to enjoy it. It just so happened that Yu Haoran, who desperately needed a large amount of energy to level up!
Thinking that the Second Elder, who was guarding the treasury, would definitely look through the items he had taken away, Yu Haoran could only temporarily place the spirit stones within the tower and remind tarin not to use them for himself.
Towards this, the tarin replied disdainfully: "Tch, in the past when I was replenishing energy, the most I used was at most a second level nine spirit stone. For this kind of trash spirit stone, even if I were to throw it by the side of the road, I wouldn"t spare a glance."
The tarin"s disdain towards spirit stones did not cause Yu Haoran to be dissatisfied in the slightest. Instead, he inwardly heaved a sigh of relief, so he did not pay attention to the other party"s disdain and continued to look through the items on the third floor.
Compared to the number of items on the first two floors, the number of items on the third floor was not a lot, but its value far exceeded that of the first two floors.
He thought about how he would leave the clan after partic.i.p.ating in the sect"s selection compet.i.tion.
When his future cultivation reached the peak of Martial King, he would be able to return to the clan. It was unknown how many years this would take, so he kept all the herbs and materials that he had in his treasury into the Domain Tower.
As for the dozen or so mental cultivation techniques and martial skills in the east, not to mention collecting them, he did not even bother to take a glance at them.
Because in his mind, there were hundreds of different levels, different types of mental cultivation techniques, martial skills, secret techniques, array formation manuals, and so on. The worst secret manual was even a hundred times more precious than the family treasury.
After going through the confinement, Yu Haoran returned to the first floor of the treasury once more. He then picked out the six ingredients selected from the first floor and stored them in his hands.
It was not that he was afraid of the Second Elder, but he did not want to attract too much trouble so that it would not affect the process of refining the Pei-Yuan Dan.
Seeing Yu Haoran picking six stalks of medicinal herbs from the treasury that could barely be considered precious, the Second Elder, who was looking for trouble, thought for a long time before finally allowing Yu Haoran to leave the treasury.
After all, the Great Elder had clearly said at that time that the treasures in the first level of the treasury were free for Yu Haoran to choose from.
Although he did not know why the Great Clan Elder would suddenly forgive Yu Haoran and his sister, the Second Elder, who knew that it was not easy to pry too much, had ultimately decided to keep quiet.
After leaving the clan treasury, Yu Haoran did not care about the clansmen"s surprised exclamations or guesses and directly returned to the Jingya Pavilion.
… ….
In the Yu Family, there were five residences that the majority of the clan members were jealous and envious of, and they even wanted to live in.
The top ranking naturally belonged to the Patriarch"s courtyard: Spirit Gathering Pavilion.
Not only did the Spirit Gathering Pavilion have an excellent location, but it also had beautiful scenery and abnormally abundant spirit energy. It was the best place for one to cultivate and go into seclusion and recuperate in peace.
And the one who was ranked second, was none other than the quiet and elegant pavilion which Yu Haoran and the Great Clan Elder had requested for.
The environment of Jingya Pavilion was also very beautiful, and the geographical location was also quite good. However, the density of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was slightly less than that of the Spirit Gathering Pavilion.
However, there was one natural advantage that the Spirit Gathering Pavilion could not compare with. That was, there was a natural earth fire in the position of the exercise room of the Jingya Pavilion.
Cultivating above the earth fire was a painful process, but the effect was far greater than simply absorbing spiritual energy.
He had planned to use the Earth Fire on the exercise room since the time Yu Haoran had become an adult, and let him use the Earth Fire to temper his body, meridians and elemental energy.
If he did this, it would not only increase his cultivation speed, but also build a firm foundation for him to cultivate in, helping him to break through to martial warrior and martial master realm in the future.
Therefore, after Yu Hongzhi"s accidental death, who knew how many people from the Spirit Gathering Pavilion and the Jingya Pavilion had spied on him, and how many clansmen from their clans had wanted to stay in there? However, under the strong opposition of the Ninth Elder and with the help of the Great Clan Elder, the two residences were eventually emptied.
After returning to the Serenity Pavilion, Yu Haoran went straight to the training room. Feeling the air in the training room that was far hotter than the outside, he was a little not used to it.
The art of poison cultivation was filled with the joy of Yin and tide. No matter if it was refining a poison pill, it would also use the extremely low temperature of Yin Fire. Thus, after his rebirth, Yu Haoran still retained some of the habits from his previous life.
He walked up to the prayer mat and sat down with his legs crossed.
Since he hadn"t refined the Pei-Yuan Dan for the time being, he first felt the power of the Earth Fire and then started to use it to temper the elemental energy in his dantian.
Yu Haoran had his own thoughts on how to use the Earth Fire to refine the spirit energy inside his Dantian.
Firstly, he would further temper the Origin Energy within his Dantian and further lay a solid foundation.
Secondly, by tempering his Origin Energy, he could adapt, understand, familiarize and control the attributes of the Earth Fire so that he could use the Earth Fire to refine medicinal pills.
In his previous life, he had once used the Yin Fire to temper his elemental energy, so he was very clear on the process and the things he needed to pay attention to.
At the same time, the physical, meridian, dantian, and mental torture that he"d experienced in his previous life had also made the process of tempering Origin Energy with Earth Fire very simple.
Only two hours had pa.s.sed, and the elemental energy of a peak Grade Eight Martial Disciple had already been tempered once.
Carefully sensing the tempered spirit energy, Yu Haoran discovered that the spirit energy in his dantian was purer, the energy contained within more powerful.
