Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1489 - 791: Mid Stage
Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
"That's a Deep Sea Sky Ring Beast. Clearly, your knowledge of sea beasts remains quite limited!" Great Cultivator Lou suppressed his amusement while explaining.
Right now, Lou Wu's state was excellent, as his aura started to settle down and his Sword Intent grew firmer.
Part of Great Cultivator Lou's grin came from Lou Wu's progress, but the rest stemmed from Li Yuanba's rare slip-up, almost breaking his calm over a mere 'Deep Sea Sky Ring Beast.'
No concerns lingered for Lou Wu's safety; should the 'Deep Sea Sky Ring Beast' unleash a sound assault, Great Cultivator Lou could easily protect him from it.
"After wrapping up my secluded training, I'll make time to learn more about these sea beasts!" Li Yuanba replied calmly.
To grasp such details, he could just pull the data from IBMz15, yet this wasn't his true form—Li Shiming's—which had boundless capacity for knowledge.
At present, he'd reached impressive heights across many areas, intentionally skipping out on less essential info.
When it came to sea beasts, one at Late Stage Fourth Grade rarely neared the mainland at all. Should any venture close, they'd surely have forged some pact with human cultivators.
Sea beasts differ from spirit beasts overall. The latter covers every non-human creature harnessing spiritual energy, whereas sea beasts form a subset adapted to dwell and thrive in the vast oceans.
Since sea beasts offered him no real danger, he hadn't bothered to explore them in depth.
Li Yuanba flicked his hand, drawing the enormous corpse of the 'Deep Sea Sky Ring Beast' into a spare Mustard Seed Ring before lightly flinging it toward Great Cultivator Lou.
"It interrupted Lou Wu's breakthrough; take its body as compensation!" he added with a grin.
"We shouldn't shower Lou Wu with excess prizes right now. Now that he's stepped into Nascent Soul Middle Stage, it's time for him to venture out and temper his resolve!" Great Cultivator Lou advised with a touch of resignation.
Most fathers eagerly seek strong guidance for their sons from their masters, yet Great Cultivator Lou preferred the contrary.
The core problem lay in Li Yuanba's immense riches. Right from the start of Lou Wu's discipleship, Li Yuanba had gifted two hundred Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivation Spirit Pills on the spot and kept up steady rewards.
Ever since aligning with Li Yuanba, Lou Wu faced no shortages in cultivation supplies.
Earlier, Great Cultivator Lou saw no reason to intervene, given his son's solid foundation to absorb those aids without harm.
However, should Lou Wu keep gaining vast Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation aids effortlessly post-breakthrough, Great Cultivator Lou worried it might warp his son's determination.
"My master offers little direct instruction, so I wasn't aware and had intended these Spirit Pills for Lou Wu as a breakthrough present. For now, I'll entrust them to you—you can pass them along at the proper moment!" Li Yuanba paused briefly, produced ten jade bottles, and passed them across.
Great Cultivator Lou found himself at a loss for words at the sight of those ten jade bottles. They held yet another two hundred Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pills.
Despite his status as a Great Cultivator, Li Yuanba's lavishness left him momentarily dazed.
Such a haul of two hundred Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pills represented a massive treasure trove in any realm, one that a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator might toil for dozens of years to amass.
Seeing how Li Yuanba could dispense these while sustaining his own practice, Great Cultivator Lou felt a surge of admiration for the Alchemy Master.
Truth be told, Great Cultivator Lou had it wrong; those two hundred Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pills weren't what Li Yuanba personally utilized.
This set of premium Spirit Pills came from the reserves created while crafting elixirs for the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivators of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion. Meanwhile, Li Yuanba and his core self, Li Shiming, relied on bespoke versions of superior caliber.
A clear gap existed between the two, as the pills Li Yuanba took featured reduced impurities and allowed for quicker successive intakes.
"I'll take them for Lou Wu!" Great Cultivator Lou declared, skipping any thanks. Thanks to Lou Wu's connection, their bond ran deep, letting him voice concerns freely.
In that instant, Lou Wu's aura surged to its peak, abruptly hitting Nascent Soul Middle Stage, wavering briefly between Early and Middle before firmly anchoring in the Middle Stage.
Once his aura steadied, Lou Wu pressed on with cultivation for a few extra hours prior to wrapping up.
His eyes fluttered open gradually, a spark of spiritual light dancing within, sparked by the breakthrough's surge of unrefined inner Spiritual Power Pattern.
"I've broken through to Nascent Soul Middle Stage!" He leaped to his feet, exclaiming in delight.
Surrounded by both his father and master, Lou Wu let loose without holding back, pouring out his elation.
"Stay humble; your Nascent Soul Middle Stage advancement makes you the least strong there. Push onward diligently!" Great Cultivator Lou warned gravely.
"Understood, Father!" Lou Wu reined in his thrill and bowed respectfully.
"I've got your master's gift here, to hand over when it's fitting. Plus, this Mustard Seed Ring holds the sea beast your master felled moments ago—treat it as a breakthrough treat!" Great Cultivator Lou extended the Mustard Seed Ring bearing the 'Deep Sea Sky Ring Beast' to Lou Wu.
Taking hold of the Mustard Seed Ring, Lou Wu gazed upon the colossal 'Deep Sea Sky Ring Beast' within; its remains promised a wealth of tradable goods.
He realized too that his master and father probably thought little of a mid-fourth grade 'Deep Sea Sky Ring Beast,' so he stowed the Mustard Seed Ring away smilingly.
