In the courtyard of Zhongkang Medical Hall, Lěng Yè sat cross-legged to cultivate. After a moment, he opened his eyes and slowly let out a breath. Although the Universe Grand Array endowed the place with a concentration of Spiritual Energy comparable to a blessed paradise, Lěng Yè remained dissatisfied with his rate of progress.
Not long ago, the assassination attempt by the Shadow Pavilion had shown him the true power of a practitioner at the Transformation Realm Seventh Layer. If he had not relied on the advantages of the Universe Grand Array, he would never have won. This made Lěng Yè all the more eager to break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
"Relying solely on absorbing Spiritual Energy to improve my strength is far too slow; I need to find some heavenly spiritual treasures that can aid in my breakthrough." If past cultivators were to hear such words, they would certainly find them incredible, for cultivating by breathing in and out the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth inherently required a very long time. Many people spent decades merely in the Qi Condensation Stage, let alone the subsequent Foundation Establishment stage and Golden Core Stage. Yet Lěng Yè had entered the cultivation world for only about a year now. Even without counting instances where he broke through with the help of heavenly spiritual treasures, his speed of progress already far surpassed most people—even those with extraordinary innate talent.
