You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

"Young man, know when to stop. Human energy has its limits."

I think you might want to stop, take a break for a while, and then choose to continue.

Otherwise, it will only be a waste of effort. The ethereal voice reminded him at the right time.

For cultivators in the Body Refinement Secret Realm, the consumption of qi and blood from ten attempts at making spiritual food is perhaps negligible.

However, due to the high level of concentration, mental fatigue is unavoidable.

"Will you get tired?"

With his eyes slightly closed, Lu Heng, seemingly having gained some insight, thought to himself with some surprise.

At the same time, he quickly realized that cultivators in normal body-refining secret realms might indeed feel mentally exhausted.

However, compared to normal body-refining secret realm cultivation, he himself has an additional life level of one rank.

This allowed him to surpass ordinary body-refining realm cultivators in many aspects.

He closed his eyes not because he was tired, but because…

[Spiritual Food Making (Beginner) → Spiritual Food Making (Beginner)]

After ten failed attempts, each time I gained 10 points of proficiency in "Spiritual Food Making".

His book, "The Making of Spiritual Food," naturally progressed from a complete novice to an introductory level.

Compared to the "Basic Body Refining Method" which took a full 26 days to master, this is already incredibly fast.

Lu Heng closed his eyes in order to comprehend the knowledge that naturally emerged in his mind after "Spiritual Food Making" was upgraded to the beginner level.

Soon after, Lu Heng opened his eyes and realized that the beginner-level "Spiritual Food Making" was just the beginning.

Regarding the "Making of Spiritual Food," it is indeed possible to produce low-grade spiritual food, but this is not stable, and there is no possibility of producing mid-grade spiritual food.

Without pausing, Lu Heng chose to continue directly.

The remnant soul, observing from the shadows, couldn't help but chuckle. It was indeed too young, still so immature; it couldn't contain itself and wanted to continue so quickly.

I wonder if this young man will feel frustrated after failing so many times.

After all, even the remnant soul itself was able to easily possess fourth-order alchemy skills back then.

It doesn't rely on exceptional alchemy talent, but rather on a higher level of understanding, a perspective that transcends a single dimension.

This is nothing to be proud of.

It should be noted that true masters of skill can even master skills that are one level higher than their own cultivation level.

The remnant soul from back then was far from capable of that.

Of course, there's also the reason that the remnant soul itself didn't fully commit.

Now, after sleeping for thousands of years, it has the patience to secretly observe a naive young boy learning alchemy, and even finds it quite interesting.

However, Lu Heng's eleventh attempt at making spiritual food did not fail as the remnant soul in the shadows had imagined.

With a flash of white light, a low-grade spiritual food was quietly prepared!

"How is this possible?" Blank's voice appeared again, and for a moment, people couldn't believe it.

From the perspective of the remnant soul, Lu Heng's initial attempts at making spiritual food were very rudimentary, clearly showing a lack of any foundation.

Furthermore, they did not exhibit the spirituality unique to those with exceptional artistic talent.

I originally thought that even if Lu Heng had some talent, he would have to fail dozens of times before he could succeed.

But the current outcome shocked the remnant soul.

In just ten attempts, Lu Heng actually mastered the basics of "Spiritual Food Making".

"Perhaps it's because I have good comprehension," Lu Heng replied.

Looking at the panel, the beginner-level "Spiritual Food Making" skill now grants more proficiency points per attempt compared to before.

And the improvement was significant, doubling in one go, reaching 20 points of proficiency.

Lu Heng had become numb to this. If he could make this kind of progress in the Basic Body Refining Method, he would probably be able to improve it to perfection in no time.

Of course, the more likely scenario is...

Because his progress is too rapid, his resources will run out sooner.

Shaking his head, Lu Heng dismissed the absurd thought and chose to continue improving his "Spiritual Food Production".

Upon hearing Lu Heng's reply, the remnant soul did not respond immediately, but chose to observe silently in the shadows.

The remnant soul's emotions then changed rapidly in a short period of time.

Confusion, shock, horror, numbness, relief!

The reason was simple: for several hours, the remnant soul watched helplessly as Lu Heng, a complete novice whose initial techniques were clumsy and who clearly had no knowledge of alchemy, was left to his own devices.

From having no prior experience and failing ten times in a row when making low-grade spiritual food, he improved at a terrifying speed, visible to the naked eye.

"Spiritual Food Making" (Beginner Level), "Spiritual Food Making" (Beginner Level), "Spiritual Food Making" (Proficient Level), and "Spiritual Food Making" (Advanced Level)!

That's right, in just a few hours, the remnant soul watched as Lu Heng completed several leaps in "Spiritual Food Making"!

Compared to when he couldn't even make low-grade spiritual food at the beginning, by the time he stopped, the boy had already completed the refining of a high-grade spiritual food!

Even what made Lu Heng stop was not that he had reached his limit.

The very real problem is that the 100 jin of Lingmi rice has been used up!

There are no conditions for further improvement of "Spiritual Food Making".

"Young man, since you have such talent in alchemy, don't waste it."

If you have the opportunity to upgrade "Spiritual Food Making" to the perfect level, you should definitely not miss it.

Any cultivation technique that reaches the perfect level is likely to undergo a tremendous transformation.

You must not easily reveal your alchemy talent of this level.

Otherwise, what awaits you might be an unequal contract that controls everything about you.

The remnant soul did not reveal its shock, but calmly reminded Lu Heng.

Talent in skills can never compare to talent in spiritual practice.

The remnant soul comforted itself in its heart.

Judging from the fact that it took Lu Heng three whole months to improve the "Basic Body Refining Method" to a minor level, the other party's talent in cultivation is merely that of an ordinary cultivation genius.

This is normal!

Where can one find someone with such extraordinary talent, whether in skill or in spiritual practice?

While the remnant soul lacked talent in alchemy, it possessed unparalleled talent in cultivation.

Comparing the two, the one with superior cultivation talent is undoubtedly the better.

The remnant soul felt a little more at peace.

"Senior, I understand."

Lu Heng, however, was not as smug as the remnant soul had imagined. Instead, he was pondering another very serious question.

The problem is...

Once you reach the minor level of "Spiritual Food Making", you can no longer improve your proficiency with low-grade spiritual foods; you will need at least mid-grade spiritual foods.

Once it reaches its peak, it will likely become a high-grade spiritual food.

Furthermore, due to his talent limitations, the proficiency points he gains each time are fixed at 20 points.

It's clear that more money will be needed to further improve "Spiritual Food Making".

And he's about to run out of money!

and so…

Let's get to underground boxing!

Lu Heng's gaze instantly hardened!
