The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Through the hundred hours of these lectures, Lin Yi confirmed a fact: the cultivation level gained is closely related to the cultivation realm of the lecturer.

With the same level of concentration, it would take a full hour of a late-stage foundation-building cultivator’s lecture to gain a bit of cultivation level. If the lecturer is at the early or mid-stage, he needs to listen for a longer time to gain some cultivation level.

Therefore, when he exchanges for lecture courses in Tian Yun Xian City, he prioritizes late- stage foundation building ones. If he has no other choice, he would go for the ones from mid-stage cultivators.

Regrettably, lectures given by someone at the level of a golden core are incredibly rare. Although he is a direct disciple of Gold Sword Zen Ren and could ask for advice, trying to absorb cultivation levels while equipped with the [Slacker] title during a one-on-one lecture is nothing short of suicidal.

Thanks to the effect of the title, Lin Yi had ample time to learn alchemy. In two or three months, his primary alchemy skills have advanced to the great perfection level.

He plans to refine beginner-level, mid- grade pills, Foundation Building Pills, to upgrade his alchemy skills from primary to intermediate level during his next visit to the secret realm. At the same time, he also aims to upgrade the [Alchemy Novice] title to the next stage.

After attending the last lecture of this month at the Golden Sword Peak

Lecture Hall, Lin Yi returned to his cave mansion at Jin Xiu Peak. He activated the protective array and hung a sign outside stating he was in seclusion. Then, he excitedly entered the Dan God Secret Realm with Zhi Ling.

This time he was randomly transported to the water element area of the Dan God Secret Realm. Using a teleportation mantra, he went directly to the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden.

The guardian beast here was still the green giant python. These guardian beasts’ rotation schedule was uncertain. All he knew was that every time the secret realm opened, a new guardian beast appeared.

Because the opening time of the Dan God Secret Realm was also uncertain, it could open at any time between ten and twenty years.

Lin Yi speculated that the rotation time of these guardian beasts should be

every ten years. The first time the secret realm opened within the Liu Yun Sect’s territory, the disciples encountered a spirit ape.

Then, during the second opening six years later, it changed to a green giant python. Even if the green giant python began its rotation right after the last secret realm closed, there are still four years left.

In the past few months, under the effect of the [Intermediate Dung Cleaner] title, his relationship with the green giant python improved significantly, and they were pretty familiar with each other.

Meanwhile, through his experiments, he confirmed one piece of information in the secret realm manual: animals cannot leave the secret realm alive, only their dead bodies can be taken out.

Even if they are put into the Spirit Pet Bag, when leaving the secret realm, a space force would forcefully separate the live animals from the bag.

Otherwise, the Ten Major Sects would have captured some monster beasts from the Dan God Secret Realm to use as spirit pets.

This means that neither the green giant python nor the giant python in the Misty Forest Gorge, possibly a transformed Jiao Dragon, can leave the secret realm and enter Heng Yuan World.

A common saying goes, a hundred-year python turns into a Jiao, a thousand-year Jiao turns into a dragon. As for the lifespan of cultivators, it’s five hundred years for Golden Core cultivators, a thousand years for Nascent

Soul cultivators. Based on this, a Jiao Dragon should be more powerful than a Nascent Soul Monarch.

In the Heng Yuan World, once a cultivator breaks through the Nascent Soul stage to reach the Divine Transformation stage, they ascend to the Upper Realm. He was unsure if the potential Jiao Dragon in the Misty Forest Gorge had ascended from the secret realm.

He had previously asked the green giant python about this, but did not get a

reply. As for going down to the gorge to check it out, he would be seeking death.

A dragon-ascending python would not care about him, a trial-taker of the Dan God’s inheritance, it might swallow him whole before he even reaches there.

Though creatures within the secret realm can’t leave, he has a Spirit Pet Column. He wondered if he could put a monster beast into the Spirit Pet Column, given that it recognizes him as its master.

This green giant python has no chance of recognizing him as its master, though. Later on, he would try to foster a good relationship with a small demon beast, make it recognize him as its master, and then try to bring it out.

“Senior, Please take care of Zhi Ling. 1 am going to refine pills now.” Lin Yi took out Zhi Ling from the Spirit Pet Column, left some food behind, said hello to the green giant python, and teleported to the Fire Department Pill

Refining Room.

Upon arriving in the pill room, he took out all the materials needed to refine the foundation-building pills from his Storage Bag and equipped the [Alchemy Novice] and [Training Expert] titles.

The increased success rate from the former title is self-explanatory, while the latter title reduces the difficulty of breaking through. Elevating primary alchemy skills to the intermediate level can also be considered a breakthrough.

Luckily, while he was increasing his cultivation level through attending classes, the [Training Expert] title was also gaining experience values. After all, the increase in cultivation level can be considered as leveling up.

After his primary alchemy skills reached the grandmaster level, Lin Yi had attempted to refine foundation-building pills twice. Both attempts ended in failure, and he didn’t try to refine them again.

But after his primary alchemy skills reached a great perfection, Lin Yi felt that his proficiency in refining basic pills has reached an acme, perfectly achieving a 100% success rate.

Some alchemical knowledge and techniques are seamlessly integrated, and this is the change brought about by reaching great perfection.

For the last title slot, Lin Yi equipped the [Gain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes] title. He had a feeling that this title would soon upgrade..
