Chapter 726: Chapter 306: Sudden Surge in Strength, Immortal Demon War Brews

Twelve years. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

For an ordinary Cultivator, such as a Seventh or Eighth Grade Transcendent Realm Cultivator, twelve years might not be enough to advance from the Early Stage of the Seventh or Eighth Grade to the Mid-grade of the Seventh or Eighth Grade.

If this period were applied to Earth Immortals, who might take thousands or even several thousand years to advance a single Grade, they would experience no significant changes in a mere twelve years.

However,

these twelve years, when applied to Lin Xuankong and his Wives, Children, Elders, and Youngsters, brought immense changes. Furthermore, it bestowed upon Lin Xuankong two extremely ’unnatural’ Talents.

First, as the [Old and Wise] Talent transformed to provide an eightyfold Cultivation Speed bonus, the Cultivation Speed bonus from [Wives, Children, Elders, and Youngsters] also changed, becoming a full fortyfold.

This enormous fortyfold bonus,

when applied to Young Lady Li Xiaolan, Second Lady Zhao Yufei, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er, and Artifact Refining Genius Xiao Xiuyi—all individuals who possessed various Talents—

brought about rapid improvements in Young Lady Li Xiaolan’s Alchemy Technique, Second Lady Zhao Yufei’s Nine Gates Celestial Eye, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er’s Cultivation Speed, and Artifact Refining Genius Xiao Xiuyi’s Artifact Refining speed.

Among these, Young Lady Li Xiaolan’s growth in Alchemy Technique, in particular, continuously astonished her master, Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er. After meeting Young Lady Li Xiaolan a few times, this Medicine Immortal even predicted before the many Earth Immortals of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect that, given Young Lady Li Xiaolan’s growth rate in Alchemy Technique, she could definitely surpass her—the foremost Medicine Immortal of the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region—within five hundred years.

This was incredibly high praise. After all, Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er herself possessed extremely strong Alchemy Talent and had been studying Alchemy Technique for several thousand years. For someone to surpass the Alchemy Technique of a Medicine Immortal with millennia of experience within just five hundred years of study was an assessment considered exceptionally high throughout the entire Immortal Realm.

Since this evaluation, many Earth Immortals from the various Immortal Sects in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region, when visiting the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, would almost invariably bring generous gifts to seek an audience with Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er and Young Lady Li Xiaolan. However, they almost never had the chance to see Li Xiaolan, who was in secluded Cultivation within the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage.

The Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect already boasted Lin Xuankong, an astounding super Artifact Refining Master. Now, with the emergence of Little Medicine Immortal Li Xiaolan, whose Alchemy Talent far surpassed Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er’s, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s reputation in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region soared to its zenith.

If it weren’t for the impending invasion of the Profound Yin Demon Sect’s army, the ecstatic Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect would probably have hosted another grand event to celebrate the emergence of another extraordinary Talent in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect.

But in Lin Xuankong’s view, this evaluation by Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er clearly underestimated Young Lady Li Xiaolan.

Now, relying on her Alchemy Talent and the fortyfold Cultivation Speed bonus from [Wives, Children, Elders, and Youngsters], Young Lady Li Xiaolan’s progress is incredibly rapid. She’s on track to surpass Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er in Alchemy Technique achievements within a hundred years!

If in another few decades, or perhaps a century, the Cultivation Speed bonus from [Wives, Children, Elders, and Youngsters] increases to seventy, eighty, or even a hundredfold, Young Lady Li Xiaolan’s rate of improvement in Alchemy Technique will undoubtedly skyrocket to even more astonishing heights!

Apart from Alchemy Technique, this Young Lady, along with Second Lady Zhao Yufei, Artifact Refining Genius Xiao Xiuyi, and the Lin Family Seven Tigers, had all advanced from the tenth level of the Transcendence Realm to the Initial Tier Earth Immortal Realm. They had even reached the Late Stage of the Initial Tier Earth Immortal Realm.

Twelve years, combined with a Cultivation Speed bonus of tens of times—this wasn’t a difficult feat for them.

Among them, the one who cultivated fastest in the Immortal Dao was Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er.

Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er had already advanced to the Initial Tier Earth Immortal Realm before everyone else, and by now, she was a Mid-grade First-Grade Earth Immortal.

The reasons were twofold.

On one hand, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er’s Profound Phoenix Strange Vein granted her inherently strong Talent in Immortal Dao Cultivation. It’s worth noting that when Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er and Lin Xuankong were at the same Realm, under the thirtyfold Cultivation Speed bonus from Lin Xuankong’s [Wives, Children, Elders, and Youngsters], her speed could even slightly surpass Lin Xuankong’s! Of course, without Lin Xuankong’s bonus, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er could never have kept pace with his Cultivation Speed.

On the other hand,

Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er, unlike Young Lady Li Xiaolan who needed to spend considerable time studying Alchemy Technique, or Artifact Refining Genius Xiao Xiuyi who had to invest significant time in the Path of Artifact Refining and refining Immortal Artifacts, also didn’t need to manage affairs within the Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm like Second Lady Zhao Yufei.

Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er was considered relatively free among Lin Xuankong’s wives, allowing her to focus wholeheartedly on Immortal Dao Cultivation.

Thus, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er ranked highest in Immortal Dao Realm among Lin Xuankong’s close relations and could be considered his ’number-one enforcer’...

Overall,

while a little more than half a year had passed in the outside world,

Young Lady Li Xiaolan, Second Lady Zhao Yufei, and the others within the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage had made rapid progress. Indeed, if not for the blinding brilliance of Lin Xuankong’s miracle—achieving Perfection in the First-Grade Earth Immortal Realm in a single day—the Cultivation Speed of any of his wives, Artifact Refining Genius Xiao Xiuyi, or the Lin Family Seven Tigers would have been enough to shock the entire Central Divine Dynasty Western Region.
