The Beginning of Spiritual Cultivation

After half a day, the ten million Spirit Stones ended up in Su Tong's hands.

Of course, these ten million Spirit Stones did not belong to Su Tong.

"Arranging the formations still requires strong spiritual power, my spiritual power seems to be not enough yet!"

Su Tong simulated the strokes of the Spirit Gathering Formation.

Although there was a 60% chance, Su Tong felt it was too low and wanted it to be higher.

"I wonder if there are any secret texts that can enhance spiritual power in the Crimson Rainbow Sect!"

Su Tong hesitated for a moment.

He felt he should enhance his spiritual power a bit more, so he could be more assured later.

Thinking of this, Su Tong immediately summoned the Leijing Beast.

He went straight to the place where martial arts techniques were hidden.

"Elder Su Tong!"

"Su Elder!"

Now, Su Tong was a figure known to all in the Crimson Rainbow Sect.

After all, he made quite a name for himself during the Hundred Sects Great Battle.

Su Tong nodded in response one by one.

Soon, he arrived at the Ling Hall.

An elder was in charge of managing the Ling Hall.

His main job was to record which disciples borrowed martial arts techniques.

Otherwise, if those secret manuals were borrowed and directly sold, what could be done?

"Elder Su!"

Seeing Su Tong, the managing elder also stood up and greeted Su Tong.

Su Tong had brought back hundreds of martial arts techniques from the Hidden Spirit Sect, all placed here.

The elder managing these techniques was naturally very happy about it.

So he was truly courteous when he met Su Tong.

"Elder Mu, I wonder if there are any techniques here for cultivating spiritual power?"

Su Tong was too lazy to search by himself.

For other disciples' inquiries, Elder Mu would definitely not answer.

If you want something, look for it yourself.

But Su Tong was different. Apart from being an elder, he was someone Elder Mu especially respected.

"Techniques for cultivating spiritual power... yes, there are some, but only ordinary mid-grade ones!"

Elder Mu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

The Crimson Rainbow Sect focused on cultivating aura, with little involvement in spiritual power.

Plus, techniques for cultivating spiritual power were countless times more precious than techniques for cultivating aura. Naturally, they were hard to find.

The Crimson Rainbow Sect didn't have any basics, all were ordinary mid-grade or lower.

"Ordinary grade? That's fine too. Where are they?"

Su Tong nodded.

Although it was a bit low for ordinary grade.

But if translated into English, the quality could probably be improved.

"Let me get them for Elder Su!"

Elder Mu didn't say anything, turned around and went to fetch them directly.

This was the special treatment Su Tong had that other elders didn't.

"Su... Elder Su Tong?"

Just as Su Tong was waiting, a voice came over.

Seeing who it was, Su Tong smiled.

He recognized this person. They had dealt with each other when Su Tong first arrived at the Crimson Rainbow Sect.

"Cheng Yan!"

This person was Cheng Yan, whom Su Tong met when he first arrived.

At that time, Cheng Yan's strength was decent, at the fifth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm.

Even among all the disciples of the Crimson Rainbow Sect, he was considered top tier.

"Elder Su Tong still remembers me?"

Called out by Su Tong, Cheng Yan was also very surprised.

"Of course. When I first arrived at the Crimson Rainbow Sect, you bullied me!"

Su Tong nodded lightly.

In fact, he was quite a bit younger than Cheng Yan.

"Cough cough, that was my poor judgment!"

Cheng Yan was also rather embarrassed now.

"Do you still bully newcomers now?"

Su Tong asked again.

"I wouldn't dare!"

Cheng Yan quickly replied.

Su Tong nodded, then looked at Cheng Yan again: "Not bad, seventh level of the Spirit Refinement Realm now!"

This was somewhat beyond Su Tong's expectation.

When he first arrived at the Crimson Rainbow Sect, Cheng Yan was only at the fifth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm. Now he was at the seventh level.

His cultivation speed was quite fast compared to other disciples.

"Thanks to Elder Su Tong teaching the ancient divine language back then. Although I couldn't fully comprehend and recite it, I still benefited endlessly!"

Cheng Yan quickly explained.

He was able to progress so much thanks to the ancient divine language Su Tong taught back then. He comprehended three words which led to a meteoric rise in his cultivation speed.

"Mm, keep cultivating well. The Crimson Rainbow Sect's future depends on you guys!"

Su Tong nodded.

He was rather surprised at Cheng Yan's perceptiveness.

"Yes, disciple will abide by Elder Su Tong's teachings!"

Cheng Yan hurriedly cupped his fists in salute.

Su Tong nodded, "Alright, you can go."

At this moment, Elder Mu happened to be back.

He was holding two books in his hand.

"Here are the two spirit secret manuals of the Crimson Rainbow Sect!"

Elder Mu handed the two books to Su Tong.

The real secret manuals should have been scrolls.

But reading scrolls once would cause some wear and tear, and copying them also took quite some time.

So they were directly copied into books for ease of viewing and borrowing.

"Alright, thank you Elder Mu!"

Su Tong nodded.

Then after thanking Elder Mu a few times, he took the spirit secret manuals back to his residence.

"Mind Cultivation Canon, ordinary mid-grade spirit secret manual. Enlightened Profound Copy, ordinary mid-grade spirit secret manual!"

These were the two spirit secret manuals of the Crimson Rainbow Sect.

Su Tong first picked up the Mind Cultivation Canon to read.

In two days, Su Tong finished reading both spirit secret manuals.

Then he summed it up briefly.

"Empty the utmost stillness, the mind and breath in unison, spirit energy fused smoothly, arriving at selflessness!"

Su Tong summarized it using the ancient divine language.

The next moment, a strange force gushed into Su Tong's Mud Pill Palace from heaven and earth.

The head has nine palaces, corresponding to the nine heavens above. The middle palace is called the Mud Pill Palace, where spiritual power is stored.

Now the strange force gushing from heaven and earth was precisely spiritual power.

As spiritual power poured in, Su Tong's Mud Pill Palace also changed.

The endless influx of spiritual power also made Su Tong's spiritual power even more abundant!

......

Half a month later.

"Sect Master, Elder Su Tong has been in seclusion for half a month!"

Several elders were discussing sect affairs with Luo Zi Yin.

"Arranging a formation, half a month is a short time!"

Luo Zi Yin felt there was no problem.

Spending ten days to half a month to set up a formation was considered fast.

"It's just that I heard Elder Su Tong borrowed two spirit secret manuals from Elder Mu half a month ago!"

The elder said helplessly.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Su Tong, just that he felt this was a bit risky!

"Oh? You mean he just started cultivating spiritual power?"

Luo Zi Yin had forgotten that setting up formations required formidable spiritual power.

And it seemed Su Tong mainly cultivated aura power.

Spiritual power and aura power were completely different.

"Cough cough, it seems...so!"

The elder coughed twice and nodded.

Luo Zi Yin: "..."

Other elders: "..."

They were worried now. Those ten million spirit stones were given to someone who had never cultivated spiritual power before?

But at this moment, an overbearing power was directly transmitted over.

Feeling that overbearing power, everyone present had drastic changes in expression.

That wasn't the pressure brought by aura power, but spiritual power!

This formidable spiritual power made them feel fear!
