The Hardships of Cultivation
The Hardships of Cultivation
Then he took out two more storage rings for Jiang Jin and Tong Zhu. "The things inside are the same as Yi Teng's but there are a few jade slips that I got from someone else. Yi Teng has his own heritage so he doesn't need them."
The two didn't know what to do. Yi Teng helped Ye Mo so it was right for Ye Mo to help him, but they didn't help Ye Mo with anything. Instead, they had been helped by Ye Mo.
"I have a lot of these things, we can look after each other at Black Weed Town. This means your power can't fall behind," Ye Mo added.
"Thank you brother Ye." Although they were much older than Ye Mo, age wasn't the deciding factor.
The reason Ye Mo gave them help was not out of sympathy but because they deserved to be helped by him. When Yi Teng was kicked out of the town's west side for taking friends' immortal crystals and pills, such a reputation was lethal. Everyone would look down on such a person.
However the two didn't abandon Yi Teng due to this and instead brought Yi Teng to their place. This was very difficult and this meant that these girls weren't cold people who would do anything for cultivation.
Ye Mo hated those people who were ruthless and used any means necessary. He had his own principles for cultivation. He wouldn't hesitate when he needed to attack, but he would always maintain his bottom line. If a person lost his bottom line in cultivation, he might as well turn himself into an emotionless corpse that only knew power.
After the cultivation resources were split, the group started digging a cultivation home. They were all hollow immortal power and thus it didn't take much effort.
Three days later, Ye Mo set up a level one peak stealth immortal formation outside the valley and another level one peak attack immortal formation and a level one stealth spirit immortal formation. Eventually, he even successfully set up a level two defense immortal formation.
After the four entered the formation, the valley looked like what it was again.
Inside the cultivation home, everyone had their own cultivation room. Ye Mo set up a spirit sense barrier formation outside his room and a restriction as well as surveillance formation disk before entering the Golden Page World.
He had immortal crystals and pills, he was a level three immortal pill master now. he had all the cultivation resources he needed now.
To him, the only thing he wanted to do now was to improve his power.
As time went on, this place was gradually covered in weeds. No one knew there was a cultivation home here.
…
The Feng Shi Merchant Association was one of the three big merchant associations of the Black Weed Town. This was because the association leader was golden immortal middle stage and there were two more golden immortal primary stage masters. Their power was ranked first amongst the three.
But some time ago, an unknown immortal pill master killed a few hollow immortal tertiary stages and a golden immortal master. This immediately dropped the merchant association's power to the bottom of the three big merchant associations. They sent people to the Black Weed Forest to find that immortal pill master, but they found nothing. Even with their power, they didn't dare to search the Black Weed Forest.
The most shocking thing was that immortal pill master was a level three immortal pill master. This was confirmed by tens of hollow immortal cultivators as they all traded pills for immortal spirit herbs. Most of the pills were top grade and even some special grade. The only pity was that the immortal pill master didn't concoct the Golden Will Pill. If he did, then many of them could break through to golden immortal.
Of course Ye Mo wouldn't do that, even if he was to it would be after he was golden immortal. If there was a large bunch of golden immortals in Black Weed Town before he reached golden immortal, then how was he to survive there?
Those ten or so cultivators who doubted Ye Mo were full of regret. They missed out on that pill concoction feast.
Their only hope was that the immortal pill master was telling the truth and would come back after a while.
Those cultivators who got what they wanted from Ye Mo didn't want to send herbs over to Chun Kou Station again. Compared to pill master Ye, that pill master Feng was nothing.
Hearing this, quite a lot of cultivators resisted the urge to go to Chun Kou Station.
Of course it was the Feng Shi Merchant Association that wanted Ye Mo to come back even more. Even though Jiang Jin and Tong Zhu's residence was annihilated, this didn't appease their anger.
…
Ye Mo had about 400 thousand top grade immortal crystals. These were all from the Feng Shi Merchant Association golden immortal. With this, he didn't need to save immortal crystals.
He not only used the immortal crystals to set up spirit gathering formations and the time formation disk, but he didn't hold back on cultivation either.
Ye Mo knew that the resources he needed to reach from hollow immortal to golden immortal might allow more than ten hollow immortals to reach golden immortal. Cultivation resources would get tougher to find later on. One could see this from how he could only use extreme grade spirit ranges and immortal crystals to cultivate in the cultivation realm. There was a price to pay for instantly killing people of the same cultivation level.
Immortal crystals turned to dust in Ye Mo's hands and pills were gulped down. Ye Mo's power rose rapidly.
This rapid speed was compared to other cultivators, but to Ye Mo his power was crawling up slowly.
The time formation disk ran for three years and he cultivated for three hundred years. He used up his immortal crystals and the pills as well. His power only crawled from hollow immortal middle stage to hollow immortal peak stage.
Ye Mo stopped cultivation. Only now did he realise the hardships of cultivation. He had immortal formations, Bitter Bamboo, Three Birth Chant, and countless resources, yet it was still so hard to reach hollow immortal peak stage. Just how hard was it for ordinary cultivators to reach golden immortal stage?
If he searched for resources in the Black Weed Forest and cultivated slowly like this for tens of thousands of years or a hundred thousand years, he might still be hollow immortal middle stage when his life was about to end. Most cultivators were stuck at hollow immortal for their entire life.
Those cultivators who stood at the top were all extremely talented and fortunate with endless cultivation resources.
However Ye Mo didn't give up hope. He had such cultivation conditions and if he still gave up hope, he wouldn't deserve to have the Golden Page World. He packed up his things and left the Golden Page World. He found the three weren't cultivating but were instead were chatting.
Seeing Ye Mo come out, they all stood up in surprise and joy.
Ye Mo was shook to find Tong Zhu and Jiang Jin both at hollow immortal tertiary stage. They didn't have the time formation disk and it had only been three years, but they went from hollow immortal middle stage to tertiary stage? This was too fast!
"You're all hollow immortal tertiary stage?" Ye Mo asked.
Jiang Jin answered, "Yes, before we only used low grade immortal crystals and didn't have any good pills nor cultivation methods. Now we have top grade immortal crystals and pills so…"
Ye Mo realized they had a solid foundation and this came into use. If they didn't have better cultivation resources, their cultivation speed would return to normal.
"You're about to have your divine damnation?" Ye Mo looked at Yi Teng and asked.
Yi Teng said excitedly, "Yes, I never expected to be able to have golden immortal divine damnation. Even if I can't pass, I'm happy."
