Chapter 238: 126: Old leaves and new flowers form a path on their own, white hair and new frost protect the new (Extra update for Alliance Hierarch Lin Hao)_2 Chapter 238: 126: Old leaves and new flowers form a path on their own, white hair and new frost protect the new (Extra update for Alliance Hierarch Lin Hao)_2 “Fortunately…
After breaking through, the fourth level of “Longevity Spring Skill” requires only 10,000 proficiency points to practice, just a thousand points higher than the third level.
Given this, I should be able to breach the fourth level within two hundred days.
But the fifth level…”
Chen Dengming calculated and realized that it was simply impossible for him to break through the late Foundation Establishment stage within the short span of two years.
Normally, the gap in mana between each minor realm in the Foundation Establishment stage increases exponentially.
Even if the effort and gain efficiency is calculated on a one-to-one basis, cultivating multiples of mana requires multiples of effort.
Therefore, like when Chen Dengming reached the early Foundation Establishment stage, the proficiency of the cultivation technique increased from three thousand to six thousand to nine thousand.
...
During the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment, the proficiency needed for Longevity Spring Skill to reach from the fourth to the sixth level probably has to rise in increments of ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand to match the exponential increase in mana.
Of course, this is purely his personal speculation.
Chen Dengming is still unsure.
“If my assumptions are correct, I will need at least three years to reach the late Foundation Establishment stage…
Adding the time previously spent, my cultivation speed is amazingly similar to Sister He’s.”
After Chen Dengming carefully calculated, he shook his head, marveling at the power of Sister He’s money-spending technique.
He has a special skill.
Sister He has money, which is a power on its own.
And of course, her high-quality spiritual root is extremely strong on its own, ensuring fast cultivation speed.
Now that he had broken through, Chen Dengming decided to end his two-month-long seclusion to get some fresh air, inspect the condition of the Gu Refining Place, and personally refine a batch of Gu objects.
At the same time, he would also catch up on the frontline news, tell Sister He and others about his breakthrough, and then continue with his low-profile cultivation.
…
Half a day later.
After dealing with the matters of the Gu Refining Place and receiving the profits of a block and a half of high-grade Spirit Stones over the last two months, Chen Dengming came to the Post House, and felt a toothache looking at the still deserted bounties.
He’s just inquiring for information about a cultivation family.
It’s not like looking for a person in a massive army on a battlefield.
Why is it so hard?
“Housekeeper Sun, how’s the battle at the front line doing now?”
Chen Dengming turned to inquire from the Qi cultivating executive of the Post House.
As the place where all the news about the sect converge, naturally the Post House would be the best informed.
The elderly Qi cultivating executive respectfully replied, “Ah, Uncle Chen, you can just call me your martial nephew.
In front of the disciples, I can sell myself as an old-timer.
Now you’re calling me executive, this is really causing me distress.”
“Heh, old Sun, aren’t you around eighty or ninety years old?
I’m still only forty-one.
To call you nephew would prematurely age me, wouldn’t it?”
Chen Dengming joked, provoking chuckles from several female disciples nearby.
Housekeeper Sun could only roll his eyes, but he also felt quite fond of his young martial uncle.
He proceeded to share the news he had gathered.
“The Heavenly Dao Sect dealt a great defeat to the sect of Demon cultivators in the northwest corner.
The current sect leader of Heavenly Dao personally struck, severely injuring the Nascent Soul old monster, the Demon Monarch of Chen Mountain, and completely drove the invading Demon cultivators out of the Eastern Region.
The war in the northwest corner is essentially over.”
“In the southeast corner, the Pavilion Master of Shu Sword Pavilion, True Monarch Shu Sword, engaged two Demon Monarchs in a solo battle.
They reached a stalemate, shocking the armies of the Demon cultivators and retreating three thousand miles.
They’re almost out of the North corner.”
“The northeast and southwest corners still have very intense wars.
The Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Longevity Sect, and the southwest corner’s Five Elements Escape Sect and Hualong Sect, none of their Nascent Soul True Monarchs have taken action, and they are all relatively cautious…”
“That’s really cautious.
The wars in the northwest and southeast corners are almost over, and yet there hasn’t been any action from this side.”
After understanding the current situation of the four major war zones, Chen Dengming was a little upset.
Housekeeper Sun added, “Uncle Chen, we had a tough character come to our northeast corner about half a year ago.
He belongs to the Soul Devouring Sect of the Demon cultivators.”

“Rather than saying he’s a Demon cultivator, it would be more appropriate to say that he follows the path of Ghost cultivation…
He’s ruthless and his Soul Attracting Banner is extremely troublesome.”
“Soul Devouring Sect?
This sect seems somewhat similar to the Yin Ghost Sect from the Thousands of Miles Frontier.
Could there be a connection?”
Chen Dengming was puzzled.
Housekeeper Sun sighed, “We currently have a grim situation here.
Allegedly, the last batch sent by our sect, Uncle Wang and Uncle Guan, have been injured.
It’s likely that they’ll have to retreat for recovery soon…”
Chen Dengming was startled at this news.
Wang Feixuan and Guan Le were injured so soon?
It’s been only two months since they left.
If those two retreat from the battlefield, the sect will probably have to select replacements to send to the war zone.
He furrowed his brows, then quickly relaxed.
What’s meant to come will eventually come.
Worrying can’t help.
There was much confusion that he could not clarify, so sometimes it’s better to resolve it in a straightforward way: burning everything clean with fire.
If in the next round of selections, Liang Yunsheng really does pick him, there will be no use running away.
Because life will always present choices.
Escaping once doesn’t mean escaping forever.
Most of the time, what you get is what you give up.
The more you evade, the more you end up losing – such as, falling back to being a Loose Cultivator.
Now’s also a good chance to investigate the Luo Family’s situation.
“Right now, the northwest and southeast corners have reclaimed lost ground, proving that things are developing in the good direction as Martial Brother Liang said.
Presumably, the three old ancestors of the Longevity Sect here in the northeast corner are also planning…”
Chen Dengming calmed himself.
Considering that war in the northeast zone had cooled since winter, it wasn’t as intense as before.
He had avoided the most dangerous period, for which he should thank Sister He.
