Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday - Chapter 209

Chapter 209: 7th Grade Spirit Farmer
Xiang Yu instantly felt the profound changes rippling through his body as his cultivation advanced to the fifteenth layer of Body Refining. He could feel his strength exponentially increasing with each passing second, power flooding through every fiber of his being.

Xiang Yu was genuinely excited by this development. The Body Refining realm was as reliable as ever, always providing tangible, measurable benefits with each breakthrough. Unlike some cultivation stages that offered only subtle improvements, body refining delivered raw, undeniable power that he could feel coursing through his muscles and bones.

He could already sense the incredible strength flowing through his physical form, and he felt confident he could easily defeat the previous version of himself in combat. But the power surge didn’t stop there – it kept rising even higher. After some time, the rapid growth settled somewhat but continued to improve steadily, albeit at a more gradual pace.

Xiang Yu clenched his fist, marveling at the raw strength flowing through his body. The sensation was intoxicating. He then mobilized his refined qi and channeled it to enhance his physical capabilities even further, the combination creating something truly formidable.

With this level of overwhelming strength, he calculated that he could probably eliminate a peak Golden Core cultivator with just a single punch. He made a mental note to test these capabilities later in his battle simulation system.

Turning his attention to his other advancing attributes, he noticed his mind cultivation had increased by a remarkable hundred and twenty points. Although the soul infant hadn’t managed to cultivate around the clock, it had still maintained focus for extended periods – roughly twice as long as usual. He guessed this was probably because the infant was still tired from the soul spike practice.

This time, his soul experience had doubled once again, making him wonder if the infant could now sustain cultivation for entire days without rest.

His bloodlines had already progressed well past the halfway point and would advance to the True Blood stage after the next reset. He could hardly contain his anticipation about what extraordinary benefits that transformation would bring.

Still, the approaching milestone made him somewhat apprehensive. At the True Blood level, all blood in a creature typically transformed into the essence of their bloodline. But he possessed two distinct bloodline essences – dragon and phoenix. Usually, the stronger bloodline would consume and absorb the weaker one. However, in his case, both bloodlines were equally powerful, harbored mutual animosity, and were advancing simultaneously at identical rates.

He wondered what would happen when they reached True Blood status together.

He had developed a few theoretical scenarios, but remained uncertain about the actual outcome. For now, he decided to wait and observe what transpired naturally. Besides, even if something went catastrophically wrong, he still had ‘that’ trick up his sleeve.

Speaking of, his Abyssal Void Flame was also beginning to accelerate its development and would likely advance within three resets. However, he wasn’t particularly excited about this progression, suspecting it probably wouldn’t bring any dramatic changes.

What truly excited him was his soul reaching nascent maturity in approximately the same timeframe. He could barely wait to experience those transformations, particularly wondering if he could finally begin converting his refined spiritual energy into true qi.

His combat techniques were also progressing impressively. His newly acquired Soul Spike had already entered the Minor Success stage, while his Ten Seasons Sword Art had advanced to Intermediate mastery. Most notably, his Fire Palm technique had finally reached the Completion stage – just one realm away from Perfect mastery.

…

As for his secondary professions, they were also progressing magnificently. His cooking skill was just a single reset away from advancing to first grade. He hoped his junior sister could handle consuming such potent spirit food. Having seen her spiritual root as Immortal Grade through his system function, he felt confident that eating first-grade spirit food shouldn’t pose any problems for her. He desperately hoped she would grow stronger quickly and provide even better protection for their sect.

His appraisal profession was also poised to enter the second grade, probably sometime during the day. Although he could already scan detailed information about people using his innate system function, the appraisal skill remained incredibly useful for everyday practical applications. It provided him with crucial supplementary information when working with herbs, rare materials, and other cultivation resources.

Even when treating patients in his medical practice, the appraisal skill proved invaluable. Some disciples were invariably embarrassed about their conditions and sometimes lied about symptoms or causes. They didn’t realize this deception could be genuinely dangerous, potentially leading to incorrect treatment that might worsen their conditions. He always made sure to call them out on their dishonesty for their own safety.

Talisman and formation making were also others that would probably breakthrough during the day, their experience points hovering tantalizingly close to advancement thresholds. As for blacksmithing, it would achieve its next breakthrough after the following reset.

Spirit farming had just entered the seventh grade, and he had already received profound insights about innovative methods for dealing with specific cultivation challenges involving both spirit animals and spirit plants. At this advanced level, he had even gained access to techniques for dramatically accelerating the natural growth cycles of herbs and magical beasts.

For herbs, the acceleration methods worked most effectively on specimens ranging from ninth grade to seventh grade, with diminishing returns at higher levels. For beasts, the techniques proved most potent on creatures from level one to level three, again with reduced effectiveness as the target’s power increased.

He finally possessed a reliable method for cultivating his herbs efficiently, and from his analysis of the skill progression, the effects would amplify significantly as the profession continued leveling up. If he managed to reach sixth grade spirit farmer, he calculated he’d be able to accelerate growth up to sixth grade herbs and 4th level creatures. For specimens below that threshold, the acceleration would become even more pronounced.

Currently, he could accelerate ninth grade herbs by an astounding four hundred percent, eighth grade by two hundred percent, seventh grade by one hundred percent, sixth grade by fifty percent, fifth grade by twenty-five percent, and so on in diminishing increments. Although the natural growth period of seventh grade herbs remained substantial even with these impressive boosts, the same couldn’t be said for eighth and ninth grade ones.

With his current acceleration capabilities, he could harvest eighth and ninth grade herbs every two or three days. Seventh grade herbs might require about a week, but that was still remarkably fast.

Still, he wasn’t bothered by these limitations. When his spirit farmer profession advanced another grade, seventh grade herbs would receive two hundred percent acceleration, eighth grade would jump to four hundred percent, and the pattern would continue scaling upward. This meant he could potentially harvest seventh grade herbs every three days, while eighth and ninth grade specimens could be ready almost daily.

This revelation was genuinely exciting – he hadn’t expected the spirit farmer profession to be this overpowered. Although the OG farmer profession could also accelerate plant growth, it probably wasn’t anywhere near this level.

Pleased with these discoveries, he was about to close the reset screen when something caught his attention – an entry he’d almost overlooked:

[Teacher: 9th Grade (20/100) (+20/100)]

[Teacher: 9th Grade (20/100) → 9th Grade (40/100)]

“he wondered how many cultivators were eyeing his Azure Cloud Sect”

“He desperately hoped she would grow stronger quickly and provide even better protection for their sect.”

Really like how he said better protection for the sect and not for him. It nearly made me tear up.

Proud mom moment. It’s like watching your kid grow up.
