Chapter 59: Promotion

Inside the cave, Yun Yi sat cross-legged on a stone, quickly adjusting his state to its best. He took out a bright red Blood Dragon Fruit, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.

A ripe Blood Dragon Fruit contains immense blood energy and power, providing unimaginable benefits for an innate realm Spirit Cultivator.

Earlier, Yun Yi fought the Rampage Fire Ape with great excitement, but now he felt a bit tired.

Although he had the support of the Innate Dao Body and unlimited spiritual power, his cultivation was only at the second grade of the Innate Realm. Continuously using the Jiucha King Seal and Dark Dragon Hand took a huge toll on him.

Next, Yun Yi had to refine the Rampage Fire Ape’s Demon Spirit and absorb the Furious Fire.

Before that, Yun Yi needed to use the Blood Dragon Fruit to strengthen his foundation and solidify his roots.

He had given eight Blood Dragon Fruits to Liu Quan and the others, and now Yun Yi had ten left for backup.

As Yun Yi swallowed one Blood Dragon Fruit, a massive wave of blood energy spread throughout his body, sending a rush through his limbs and making him tremble with comfort; the earlier feeling of tiredness vanished instantly.

The Innate Dao Body began to operate, and the nine lotus platforms started to turn, creating a buzzing sound throughout his dantian.

The Innate Dao Body has an extraordinary advantage in energy refinement speed, which is far beyond what ordinary people can match.

The energy from one Blood Dragon Fruit was completely refined by Yun Yi in just a few breaths.

After refining the Blood Dragon Fruit, Yun Yi’s energy became even more abundant, and his spiritual power within his dantian was also full. His cultivation level rose again, reaching the peak of the second grade of the Innate Realm, just a step away from the third grade of the Innate Realm.

Each advancement of the Innate Dao Body requires an enormous amount of energy. For an ordinary practitioner at the second grade of the Innate Realm, one Blood Dragon Fruit is enough to push them to the third grade of the Innate Realm.

Of course, it is impossible for ordinary people to refine it this quickly. Take Liu Quan, who is at the fourth grade of the Innate Realm, for example. Even if he refines the Blood Dragon Fruit now, the benefits it brings him will take time to absorb. To advance from the fourth grade of the Innate Realm to the fifth grade, he will need at least half a month, or even longer.

This is the true difference between a genius and an ordinary person.

Some people are born as favorites of heaven.

The powerful Innate Dao Body was so extraordinary that it only awakened at the age of sixteen. Before that age, it was about tempering a person’s character, so that after developing an incredibly strong will, one could bear the Innate Dao Body.

Next, Yun Yi took out the Demon Spirit of the Rampage Fire Ape. This was something the Yanwu family’s Task Hall wanted, meant to be brought back to the Yanwu family.

However, since such a valuable thing ended up in Yun Yi’s hands, there was no reason to give it away. Moreover, this Demon Spirit is incredibly beneficial to Yun Yi in unimaginable ways.

Besides, even though he has the Yanwu family’s Identity Jade Card and is technically a disciple of the Yanwu family, he has not officially reported in yet.

Moreover, this task was not taken by me, but by Yuan Hui. It has nothing to do with me.

Yun Yi naturally felt justified in refining the Demon Spirit. Arriving at Xuanzhou State was like entering another world, the true Spiritual Cultivation World, where experts were everywhere. In such a place, the only thing you can rely on is your strength, and Yun Yi would not miss any opportunity to improve his abilities.

After refining this fifth-grade Demon Spirit of the Innate Realm, combined with the absorption of Furious Fire, Yun Yi’s cultivation level would directly reach the third grade of the Innate Realm and be firmly secured, even possibly reaching the peak of the third grade.

The Demon Spirit of the Rampage Fire Ape was consumed by Yun Yi, and a fierce power immediately spread throughout his body. This method of devouring a Demon Spirit would probably only be attempted by Yun Yi; if anyone else tried to crudely eat a Demon Spirit like that, they would likely be overwhelmed and explode from the energy contained within.

However, the Innate Dao Body was strong enough to handle it. As the nine lotus platforms shook, the Fire Lotus seemed to come to life, opening its wide mouth to devour the energy.

Buzz buzz…

Yun Yi’s body emitted a buzzing sound, his bones cracking. Wild flames spread across his surface, making him look incredibly frightening.

This wildness was quickly suppressed, and the energy within the Demon Spirit began to transform and be absorbed by Yun Yi.

At the same time, the essence of the Furious Fire contained within the Demon Spirit was continually absorbed by the Fire Lotus, merging into the Red Lotus Karma Fire, allowing Yun Yi’s flames to harness two different fire energies, especially that wild energy, which was exceptionally noticeable.

Crack!

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from Yun Yi’s body. Yun Yi knew this was the sound of breaking through a barrier. With the impact of the Demon Spirit energy, Yun Yi’s level finally reached the third grade of the Innate Realm.

Without any hesitation, drawing from the experience of the last upgrade, Yun Yi took out a spirit stone and began to refine it quickly.

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty…

The spirit stones were being used up continuously, and Yun Yi seemed like a bottomless pit.

Spirit stones are essential for Spirit Cultivators. They need spirit stones for daily practice, and when their spiritual power is too low, they often need spirit stones to replenish it. They are even more necessary during upgrades.

However, consuming so many spirit stones to go from the second grade of the Innate Realm to the third grade is quite shocking.

Across the whole world, perhaps only the Innate Dao Body is so difficult to satisfy.

Yun Yi could only grit his teeth and continue to refine. The stronger the Innate Dao Body became, the more Yun Yi looked forward to it.

After Yun Yi refined eighty lower grade spirit stones, the needs of the Innate Dao Body finally stabilized, and his cultivation successfully broke through, rising to the third grade of the Innate Realm.

However, the energy of the Demon Spirit inside him had only been consumed halfway. Because Yun Yi had refined a Blood Dragon Fruit earlier, his foundation was solid, so now his base was still very stable, and he could continue to refine the remaining Demon Spirit, pushing his cultivation to the next level.

After a little less than half an hour, Yun Yi finally completely refined the Demon Spirit, and his cultivation was fully stabilized at the third grade of the Innate Realm. Although he hadn’t reached the peak of the third grade of the Innate Realm, he was very close.

"You’re all alive?"

Just as Yun Yi opened his eyes, he heard a voice of great surprise from outside the cave. This voice was familiar to Yun Yi; it was Yuan Hui.

Yun Yi stood up, adjusted his clothes, and walked boldly out of the cave.

At this moment in the valley, Liu Quan and the others had stopped refining the Blood Dragon Fruit because of Yuan Hui’s return and had gathered together. Facing them, Yuan Hui looked at everyone who was unharmed, then glanced at the corpse of the Rampage Fire Ape in the distance, with a shocked and confused expression.

"Senior Brother Yuan, we’re not dead. Are you disappointed?"

Liu Quan said, his words filled with anger, which everyone could clearly hear.
