Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 449 - 274: Preparation

It has been a few days since Lu Yu returned to the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm.

During these days, Lu Yu learned that he had stayed underground for more than ten days, but he hadn't felt it at all—just a blink of an eye, and it was over.

"Today is the day when the mentor gives a lecture," Lu Yu thought as he looked at the calendar hanging in the room.

He pushed open the door and walked towards the cave abode on the mountain peak.

"Good morning, Senior Brother Kui," Lu Yu greeted as he saw Kui Defa descending from the sky.

Kui Defa still looked as shabby and unkempt as ever. Hearing Lu Yu's voice, he paused and turned to look at Lu Yu.

"Junior Brother Lu..." His eyes widened slightly in surprise, "Junior Brother, have you already advanced to the eighth tier of the Qi Sea Realm so quickly?"

"The last time I saw you, you were only at the third tier of the Qi Sea Realm. It's been just half a month, and you've improved by five tiers. Your cultivation speed is a bit... You haven't practiced any evil techniques, have you?" Kui Defa asked worriedly.

Lu Yu released his aura, which was pure and gentle, glowing like the midday sun.

"Senior Brother, do I look like a Martial Cultivator who practices evil techniques?" Lu Yu joked.

Feeling the purity and heaviness of his aura, unlike the chaotic and unstable aura that results from quick advancement through evil techniques, Kui Defa was greatly relieved.

Practicing evil techniques to quickly improve cultivation usually results in chaotic and unsteady aura.

"That's good." Kui Defa commented, "Junior Brother, your cultivation speed is truly astonishing. In less than half a year, you've already reached the Qi Sea Realm, and you'll soon advance to the Core Formation Realm."

"Have you found the Spiritual Object to forge your Divine Soldiers?" Kui Defa asked.

Lu Yu shook his head and replied, "Not yet. It will still take some time, but there's no rush."

Kui Defa said, "That's not good. You should prepare early and strive to find the Spiritual Object most suitable for you. Also, don't push yourself too hard, and don't over-pursue high-quality Spiritual Objects."

"Remember, a Divine Soldier that suits you is far more important than a higher grade one," Kui Defa advised.

Lu Yu's expression changed slightly as he looked at Kui Defa and curiously asked, "How did Senior Brother Kui choose his Divine Soldier?"

Kui Defa glanced at Lu Yu, extended his hand, and a palm-sized fire dragon emerged from his palm.

He said, "This is my Divine Soldier—the Bronze Sovereign."

Lu Yu showed a look of surprise and asked, "Why is your Divine Soldier a living thing?"

Kui Defa explained, "It's not a living thing. The little fire dragon is just one of its forms. Before being forged into a Divine Soldier, it was a dragon egg of a Chi Yan Gold Dragon. After forging, it naturally formed into three forms."

"The first form is the small fire dragon form, which can spray high-temperature flames, easily melting Ninth Grade metal ores. When dealing with enemies, it can easily kill Martial Cultivators below the Core Formation Realm."

Whoosh~ A small flame burst from the little fire dragon's mouth. Lu Yu felt the terrifying power contained within the flame, with no doubt about Kui Defa's words, even thinking he was being somewhat modest.

The power contained within the flame was stronger than any full-force bursts Lu Yu had seen from several Core Formation Realm cultivators.

"The other two forms are inconvenient to display, but I'll tell you their effects, and you should understand why I chose this Divine Soldier," Kui Defa said as he extinguished the flame from the little fire dragon.

"The second form is the Dragon Flame Furnace form, which can easily extract the essence of various materials, making it easier for me to refine Spiritual Artifacts, with a small chance of adding additional attributes to the refined Spiritual Artifacts."

"The third form is the complete Chi Yan Gold Dragon form, possessing all the abilities of a complete Chi Yan Gold Dragon. However, this form is extremely consuming, and even I can only use this form for about half a quarter of an hour."

Kui Defa retracted the Bronze Sovereign back into his body and said while walking, "At the time, I almost got turned to ash by the power contained within the Chi Yan Fire Dragon's egg when forging the Bronze Sovereign. Thankfully, I was well-prepared; otherwise, I would have perished before the Divine Soldier was successfully forged."

"Hmm?" Lu Yu keenly sensed the key in Kui Defa's words and asked, puzzled, "Is forging a Divine Soldier dangerous?"

Kui Defa replied solemnly, "Of course, it is dangerous, and extremely so."

"If it's just about selecting some ordinary Spiritual Objects for forging Divine Soldiers, the risk is not significant. But everyone knows, the better the Spiritual Object, the stronger the Divine Soldier forged, and the greater the risk." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Throughout history, countless talents have perished due to forging Divine Soldiers. Most of these fallen talents chose Spiritual Objects beyond their limits as forging materials and were devoured by them during the forging process."

"That's why I told you, a Spiritual Object isn't better just because it's stronger, what's more crucial is suitability."

"A powerful Divine Soldier may provide strong assistance initially, but only a Divine Soldier that suits you can continue to grow and strengthen with you, going further."

"I've digressed a bit. Let me get back to answering your question," Kui Defa said, "Actually, from the abilities of the Bronze Sovereign, you should have realized that these abilities are very suitable for me."

"When I was looking for a Spiritual Object to forge my Divine Soldier, I listed the abilities I wanted in a Divine Soldier according to my needs, and then searched for Spiritual Objects that could forge a Divine Soldier with those corresponding abilities."

"But it doesn't mean that doing so will definitely lead you to find the most suitable Spiritual Object; the final abilities of a Divine Soldier are also related to the forger themselves."

"Even with the same Spiritual Object, given to two different people for forging, the resulting abilities could vary vastly."
