Recovery Thresholds - 469

After looking at the sword for a moment, Zhu Yi put it up in the sheath it came with.

"How long have I been asleep?" He asked Wen Si.

"A few days. There is still plenty of time left to find inheritances if you wish to."

Zhu Yi thought for a moment and got up. "I'll see you later."

Wen Si nodded. "See you later."

Zhu Yi got off of the mountain and walked towards the giant array. He needed some privacy.

It didn't take him long before he was inside the room. Not too far away was the door to the library, but Zhu Yi did not intend to enter it.

He crossed his legs and examined his rings. He had three rings. One was the wooden ring that he had gotten. It connected him and Zhou Fan.

The second was the ring he had gotten in the mountain trial. It contained array materials, formation materials, and spirit stones.

The third was the one he had received from Chen Jie. It was filled with an incredible amount of high quality spirit stones.

He ignored the spirit stones in the second ring and took out a bunch from the third ring.

"Let's start." He said.

Zhou Fan nodded and prepared.

Zhu Yi rapidly touched the spirit stones on the ring, absorbing hundreds every single minute. Each of them was at least a high-quality spirit stone. The value of each one was something that Zhu Yi could hardly imagine.

While the market price between a low quality spirit stone and a high quality spirit stone was only a difference of 10,000, a high-quality spirit stone could not necessarily be bought for 10,000 low grade spirit stones.

A high-grade spirit stone contained a higher density of Qi that was incomparable to that of a low quality spirit stone.

After absorbing around 1,000 high-quality spirit stones, Zhou Fan felt a change.

"Stop."

Zhu Yi stopped and looked at Zhou Fan.

Zhou Fan felt the same sensation as the last time he broke through a recovery threshold.

He felt bursts of energy and used the excess to activate the river of cultivation. He began to change Zhu Yi.

After a while, Zhou Fan stopped. Zhu Yi watched him return to normal.

Zhu Yi spoke first. "What did you do this time?"

Zhou Fan answered. "I increased your talent by two levels. You now have spirit rank meridians."

Zhu Yi was excited, and became even more excited looking at the endless spirit stones in his ring.

"Continue."

Zhu Yi added more and more spirit stones to the ring.

It took a long time, but after almost 300,000 high-quality spirit stones, Zhou Fan felt the same sensation.

He went into the same state as before and recovered. Using the excess energy to use the river of cultivation, he changed Zhu Yi once again.

Zhu Yi saw Zhou Fan return to normal and asked the same question. "What did you do this time?"

Zhou Fan answered. "Your talent increased by 1 rank. You now have king rank meridians. I also gave you another affinity. Along with Fire Qi and Time Qi, you now have an affinity to Space Qi."

Zhu Yi was extremely excited.

Yet still, there were more spirit stones. He could only hope that another recovery threshold could be passed.

As Zhu Yi poured spirit stones onto the ring, Zhou Fan considered what to do next. For this world, Zhu Yi's talent could be considered good enough. Reaching the void traversing realm was not only possible, but an eventuality with Zhou Fans help.

Although increasing Zhu Yi's talent would be very beneficial, and giving him a new affinity would help a lot, Zhou Fan had a different idea. He wanted to give Zhu Yi either a divine physique or an innate talent.

He would have to see when he broke through the next recovery threshold.

Zhu Yi absorbed countless high-quality spirit stones, but he eventually ran out. All that remained were top quality spirit stones. In this world, they were basically impossible to find. Luckily, Chen Jie had managed to find nearly a thousand of them and put them in this spatial ring.

Zhu Yi grabbed them and used them on the wooden ring. At the market price, top grade spirit stones were a thousand times more expensive than high quality spirit stones.

In total, there were 879 top grade spirit stones. After absorbing 868 of them, Zhou Fan felt a change. 

Zhu Yi excitedly put the remaining 11 in the other spatial ring. He now had an unfathomable amount of wealth.

As soon as possible, Zhou Fan used the excess energy to try and activate the river of cultivation. He successfully did so, but to his disappointment, he did not have enough energy to give Zhu Yi either a divine physique or an innate talent.

"On to the backup plan then."

Zhu Yi watched as Zhou Fan returned to normal.

"What did you do this time?" He asked.

Zhou Fan spoke. "I gave you weapon talent. God-level sword talent."

Zhu Yi was confused, but the word god made him feel that it had to be incredible.

Indeed, it was incredible. Zhou Fan was surprised he had been able to increase it to god rank in the first try, but it was something that he had created after all. It was slightly different from increasing talent or adding divine physiques.

"What exactly does that mean?" Zhu Yi asked.

Zhou Fan laughed. "Swing a sword."

Zhu Yi unsheathed his new sword. Weapon talents were usually looked over on lower level worlds. They were easier to miss compared to meridians.

Zhu Yi swung his sword. As the motion was completed, he stood silently for a moment. After 5 minutes, he blinked again. He looked at Zhou Fan with awe. It was as if he had seen an entirely different world. 

"Master. Let's train with the sword." Zhu Yi said.

Zhou Fan nodded. He began to teach him his sword style from the very beginning. Zhu Yi was countless times faster in learning. At this rate, it seemed like even Chen Jie would eventually be surpassed.

As if he was a dehydrated man stumbling upon an oasis, Zhu Yi madly practiced the sword until the inheritance closed.
