Su Tong felt some changes in his body.
Hearing what the ZiHong Sect disciples said, he understood.
"So this is what the Tempering Realm feels like? It wasn't that hard to enter after all!"
Su Tong smiled slightly.
He was quite satisfied with the speed of his cultivation so far.
"I've got a good grasp of the cultivation techniques, they are indeed stronger than the ancient divine language I was using before. However, converting these techniques into the ancient language makes them even more powerful."
Su Tong now understood how to convert between the ancient language and cultivation techniques.
Following the conversion he just did, his cultivation speed increased significantly.
However, Su Tong was also curious.
He had just converted the techniques into the ancient language, at most making them comparable to low-grade Spirit techniques.
ZiHong Sect should also have disciples who have comprehended low-grade Spirit techniques, but none had cultivation speeds as fast as his.
Why was this?
Su Tong didn't know, and he didn't want to find out. Perhaps it was just his own misjudgment.
The ancient language was invincible!
Chinese was invincible!
"Let's take a look at Spirit techniques!"
Su Tong hesitated for a moment. For now he had a good grasp of the cultivation techniques.
Next should be Spirit techniques.
These were fundamental for combat.
"Golden Light Sacred Method?"
Su Tong picked up a common-grade Spirit technique book and took a look.
It was somewhat similar to Golden Bell Shield.
It described the method to operate it.
Relying on spiritual energy, following a specific path in the body, one can make the body more resilient.
"Boring!"
After taking a look, Su Tong immediately lost interest.
He didn't care for techniques like Golden Bell Shield at all.
Then he picked up another common-grade low-rank Spirit technique named Gold Flame Demon Slaying.
"The name does sound imposing, gathering fire-attribute spiritual energy to ignite flames that burn everything?"
Su Tong quickly understood it after taking a brief look.
These Spirit techniques could also be used according to the user's attributes.
However, cultivators of different attributes could also practice them.
It would just be easier and more powerful for fire-attribute cultivators to practice Gold Flame Demon Slaying.
Next, Su Tong picked up several more Spirit technique books and browsed through them.
Heaven Tiger Sword, Flame Demon Claw, Frost Demon Seal, Thunder Hidden Dragon and so on.
Most were common-grade, from low to top rank. Su Tong took a look at them all.
"This is much simpler than cultivation techniques!"
After carefully reading through each one, Su Tong concluded...they were too simple!
When reading the cultivation techniques earlier, Su Tong had felt some difficulty.
But after seeing the Spirit techniques now, there was no difficulty at all.
"No wonder that stone hammer could beat the Qi Condensation realm Cheng Yan senseless, haha!"
Now Su Tong understood.
What he had used was real Spirit techniques.
It was just that their power was insufficient due to his own low cultivation level.
"Alright!"
After reading some more, Su Tong nodded in satisfaction.
He now understood everything clearly.
Next, he went directly to find Shi Lei, who was currently immersed in cultivation.
Shi Lei naturally noticed the commotion Su Tong had caused earlier.
He held great respect for Elder Su Tong.
"Elder Su's perception is truly amazing!"
Shi Lei flattered him.
Su Tong didn't respond, only saying: "Take me to my residence."
At this time, Su Tong also wanted to return to his residence to try out the fastest way to cultivate.
He had thought that absorbing 10 or 100 times more spiritual energy would be the fastest.
But after seeing those cultivation techniques, Su Tong believed there were even faster cultivation methods.
"Yes!"
Shi Lei hurriedly nodded.
Then he led Su Tong to his residence.
The residence before them exuded an antique charm, very much like ancient architecture.
The surrounding spiritual energy was also extremely rich.
"The spiritual energy here is actually so dense!"
After coming into contact with spiritual energy, Su Tong could now sense the spiritual energy around him.
"That's right, Elders' residences have a small spirit gathering formation to condense the surrounding spiritual energy, so the spiritual energy here is more concentrated!"
Shi Lei quickly explained.
Su Tong nodded, "I see."
"Then Elder Su, please rest. This disciple will take his leave."
Shi Lei also understood his task was complete.
He bade farewell.
At least Su Tong remembered him today. In the future in ZiHong Sect, he would have someone to rely on.
Others might find it laughable for Shi Lei to rely on a newly advanced Tempering Realm elder.
Only Shi Lei himself knew, someone who had just joined ZiHong Sect, yet could understand the ancient divine language, and was appointed an elder and successfully reached the Tempering Realm in half a day, had such terrifying perception.
As long as he didn't fall, how powerful would his future be, one could well imagine.
After Shi Lei's departure, Su Tong directly entered the elder's courtyard.
There was only a two-story antique building here.
The lower floor was for receiving guests, the upper floor for cultivation and rest.
"Not bad!"
Su Tong looked around, nodding in satisfaction.
He had just transmigrated over not long ago, yet had already obtained an elder position in a major sect.
Although there would probably be a lot of opposition in the future, as long as he steadily consolidated his foothold, he could ensure his safety in this different world.
After surveying the surroundings, Su Tong went upstairs.
Pushing open the door, he walked in.
Inside was a table and a bed.
On the table were a kettle, teacups, and a waist tablet.
"An elder's waist tablet?"
Su Tong picked it up. It felt cold in his hand.
Looking at it, there were the two characters for "Elder" on it. It should be an elder's waist tablet.
There were probably some places in ZiHong Sect that only elders could access.
In any case, Su Tong put it away.
"Let's try cultivating!"
Without any hesitation, Su Tong directly sat cross-legged on the bed to try out a new spirit energy absorption method.
...
Water Cloud Kingdom!
"I wonder if anyone from our kingdom will be recruited by ZiHong Sect this time!"
A middle-aged man with a worried expression on his face.
This person was Yi Yu Xing, the ruler of Water Cloud Kingdom.
A peak Spirit Refinement realm expert.
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, a figure rushed in anxiously.
"What is it?"
Yi Yu Xing's brows furrowed as he bellowed.
"Zi...ZiHong Sect has news!"
The man quickly replied.
Hearing the three words ZiHong Sect, Yi Yu Xing also hurriedly asked, "What is it? Has anyone been selected to become a ZiHong Sect disciple?"
"No...no one was selected to become a ZiHong Sect disciple!"
The man shook his head.
"Pfft!"
Yi Yu Xing directly spat out a mouthful of blood. Closing his eyes in lament, he said, "Heaven has forsaken my Water Cloud Kingdom!"
"No, Your Majesty, it's...it's Heaven blessing my Water Cloud Kingdom!"
The man quickly said.
At this moment, several figures walked in from outside.
Yi Yu Xing looked over. They were familiar faces, ZiHong Sect representatives. Five years ago one of them had been in charge of delivering supplies to Water Cloud Kingdom.
But...wasn't no one selected?
What was with these supplies in front of him?
Yi Yu Xing was confused!
