System Of Endless Cultivation

The next day, Eryx leisurely walked to the Medicinal Garden with ⧼Records of 1000 Herbs⧽ in hand and started repeating everything he had done yesterday, learning and comparing the herbs of the garden with those recorded in the book.

Now that he was a Fourth Layer Qi Refinement Realm cultivator, his ability to memorize things was also strengthened. He could easily remember dozens of herbs at once including their descriptions and properties. 

While he was at it, Lin Ning'er came. As soon as she saw him, her eyes widened in shock. She could feel the energy around him and knew right away that something was different.

"You... You... You're already in the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining?!" Lin Ning'er pointed at him and exclaimed in a trembling voice. This was the most shocking thing that happened to her in the recent few years.

Eryx smiled softly and nodded. "Yes, I'm now a Qi Refining Fourth Layer cultivator. Although cultivation is not difficult, it is tiring. It was also thanks to those Spirit Stones you gave me that I was able to break through several times last night. Unfortunately, all the Spirit Stones have been used up."

Cultivation is not difficult?

It was tiring?

Lin Ning'er's mouth twitched uncontrollably. She stared at him and felt like Eryx was showing off in front of her.

How could someone go from no cultivation to the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining in just one night?

She felt uneasy.

Yes, she knew that ten Low-grade Spirit Stones could help someone cultivate this much, but Eryx was only a beginner. A normal beginner should not be able to absorb so much energy from ten Spirit Stones this easily. It should have been impossible.

Not to mention, the cultivation method she gave him was also ordinary.

"How... how is that possible? I gave you a basic cultivation method. Moreover, you are just an absolute beginner, without any cultivation knowledge. This... This..."

Lin Ning'er found it extremely difficult to believe.

Lin Xue, who came with Lin Ning'er and was standing nearby, also gasped in surprise. "Fourth Layer? In one night? Brother Eryx, how did you do that?"

Lin Ning'er shook her head. "I don't understand. This shouldn't be possible. You just started cultivating yesterday, and you've already advanced to the Fourth Layer? Even if you had talent, this is too fast. Tell me, how did you do it?"

Last night, Eryx had already planned how to behave in front of these two today. He pretended to be clueless and started scratching his head. Then he said in a puzzled tone, "I don't know. I just followed the method you gave me and cultivated. Everything after that happened very smoothly. If I had more Spirit Stones, I would have advanced to Fifth Layer already."

Lin Ning'er still couldn't bring herself to believe it, but all she could do was mutter in a very low voice, "But... it was an ordinary method. No one should be able to reach the Fourth Layer in one night!"

On the other side, Lin Xue also nodded, saying: "This is shocking. Brother Eryx, you must have some special talent that we don't know about."

"That's right!"

Lin Ning'er's eyes lit up with excitement. As she observed Eryx closely, she muttered to herself, "Master and Senior Sister Xiaoyu and Xueling will be coming back in two days. Master must be able to tell what is special about you."

Then she thought of something and again took out ten Low-grade Spirit Stones.

"Take these and cultivate. These should be enough for you to reach the Seventh or Eighth Layer of Qi Refining. Show me how many days it'll take you to cultivate to this level this time!"

Saying that, she left.

Lin Xue wanted to say something, but then she shook her head, pouted cutely, and followed her senior sister out of the medicinal garden in a hurry.

On the other hand, Eryx was overjoyed.

Earlier, he intentionally mentioned Spirit Stones and told Lin Ning'er that he could have advanced to the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining if there were more Spirit Stones. He wanted Lin Ning'er to give him more Spirit Stones.

He was only trying his luck. Never in his dream did he expect her to truly give him more Spirit Stones just to test him.

⟪10 Low-Grade Spirit Stones: 100 Points⟫

Once again, the amount of High-Level Energy Points in Eryx's account was restored to 110. He only needed 90 more Energy Points to cross a major level and become a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

Shaking his head, Eryx smiled and focused on the Records of 1,000 Herbs once again. He studied the book carefully while walking around the medicinal garden from time to time.

As he touched more and more herbs, he found it very difficult to control himself from absorbing their energy. But he stopped himself. These herbs were not his. They were planted by Lin Ning'er and her master. Once he absorbs them, he will be kicked out of the mountain immediately.

It is far too important for him to stay here. This way, he would at least have one method to gather energy. Otherwise, once kicked out, he would lose out greatly and might be forced into desperate measures to accumulate his energy points.

While working in the garden, Eryx also thought about the Silver Moon Sect. He had learned by now that it was a very small sect. There were only five members, and they all had the same family name, "Lin". They were all girls too.

The sect master was Lin Jiaxu. She had four disciples: Lin Xiaoyu, Lin Xueling, Lin Ning'er, and Lin Xia.

Lin Xia is the youngest. She is only nine years old, but she is already a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator. She is definitely a genius for being so powerful at such a young age.

Lin Ning'er, the girl who had given him the Spirit Stones, is fifteen years old. She is at the peak of the Core Formation Realm, just one step away from reaching the Golden Core Realm.

As for Lin Xueling and Lin Xiaoyu, they are already in the Golden Core Realm. Lin Xia had told Eryx that Lin Xiaoyu was the eldest and also the strongest among the four disciples. She is just a small step away from surpassing the Golden Core Realm.

Eryx felt amazed by how powerful they all were. This Silver Moon Sect is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

After all, he was from the Devlin Family. Although he never got to enter the main family, he knew Golden Core Realm cultivators were already powerful individuals. The younger generations in the Golden Core Realm are also called geniuses.

And here, in the Silver Moon Sect, there are two of them. One of them is even about to surpass the Golden Core Realm.

Deeply breathing, Eryx no longer thought about these things. Instead, he focused on the herbs in the medicinal garden.

Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of small red fruits growing nearby. There were three of them on a single vine, and the fragrance they gave off was strong and sweet.

Among these three, only one was deep red. The other two had signs of yellow on them. It was as if these two fruits had lost some of their vitality, showing signs of withering.

Curious, Eryx reached out and gently touched one of the slightly yellowed fruits. Immediately, a screen appeared in front of his eyes:

⟪Crimson Spirit Fruit: 100 Points⟫

Eryx blinked in surprise. He hadn't expected to see such a high value for the small fruit. The point worth noting here is that this fruit had already lost some of its vitality and was withering slowly.

Quickly, he opened the Record of 1,000 Herbs and began flipping through its pages, searching for more information about the fruit.

After a moment, he found what he was looking for. The Crimson Spirit Fruit was a rare fruit filled with a strong life force and an incredible amount of energy. Its bright red color came from the massive amount of vitality and Qi it contained. According to the book, a single Crimson Spirit Vine could only mature one fruit at a time. Even if multiple fruits grew on the vine, only one of them would fully ripen while the others would wither and die. This made the Crimson Spirit Fruit a rare and highly valuable medicinal fruit.

Eryx was amazed. At the same time, an idea appeared in his mind.

According to the book, only one fruit can mature on one Crimson Spirit Vine. The rest will wither and die.

Two Crimson Spirit Fruits here were already showing signs of withering. But still, they can give him 100 Energy Points each. Since that's the case, why not absorb the energy?

This way, he would gain the energy for his cultivation and not harm the herbs or medicinal fruits in the slightest.

Without hesitation, Eryx immediately chose to extract High-level Energy from two withering Crimson Spirit Fruits, obtaining 200 Energy Points.

The moment the energy was extracted, both Crimson Spirit Fruits dried up instantly and turned into black powder.
