Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1489 - 791: Mid Stage

"That's a Deep Sea Sky Ring Beast. It looks like your understanding of sea beasts remains quite shallow!" Great Cultivator Lou suppressed a grin while explaining.

Right now, Lou Wu's condition was outstanding, as his aura started to steady and his Sword Intent grew firmer.

Half of Great Cultivator Lou's amusement came from Lou Wu's progress, while the rest stemmed from Li Yuanba's rare slip-up, almost breaking his calm over a 'Deep Sea Sky Ring Beast.'

He didn't need to fret over Lou Wu's safety; even if the 'Deep Sea Sky Ring Beast' unleashed a sound assault, he could easily protect him from it.

"After I end my closed-door training, I'll make time to learn more about these sea beasts!" Li Yuanba replied calmly.

To gain such details, he could just pull them from IBMz15, yet this body wasn't his true one, Li Shiming's, which could absorb knowledge without limits.

At present, his expertise spanned many areas at a high level, so he had intentionally skipped out on less essential facts.

Regarding sea beasts, getting to a Late Stage Fourth Grade level made it nearly impossible for them to near the continent. Should they approach anyway, it would mean some pact with human cultivators.

Sea beasts differ from spirit beasts; the latter covers all non-human creatures harnessing spiritual energy, whereas sea beasts form a subset of spirit beasts tailored to ocean life and sustenance.

Since sea beasts offered no real danger to him, he hadn't bothered to study them in depth.

With a casual flick of his hand, Li Yuanba stored the huge 'Deep Sea Sky Ring Beast' corpse into a vacant Mustard Seed Ring and lightly threw it toward Great Cultivator Lou.

"It interrupted Lou Wu's breakthrough; take its body as compensation!" he added with a grin.

"We shouldn't shower Lou Wu with too many gifts right now. Now that he's reached Nascent Soul Middle Stage, he ought to venture out to temper his resolve!" Great Cultivator Lou advised with a touch of resignation.

Most fathers yearn for their son's teacher to pour on the support, yet Great Cultivator Lou hoped for the reverse.

The core problem lay in Li Yuanba's immense wealth. When Lou Wu first took him as master, Li Yuanba handed over two hundred Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivation Spirit Pills right away and kept providing steady rewards.

Ever since Lou Wu became Li Yuanba's disciple, concerns over cultivation supplies had vanished for him.

Before, Great Cultivator Lou saw no reason to intervene, since his son possessed ample foundation to absorb those resources without harm.

However, if Lou Wu kept getting heaps of Nascent Soul Middle Stage resources without any struggle post-breakthrough, Great Cultivator Lou worried it might warp Lou Wu's determination.

"My master rarely offers guidance, so I wasn't aware of that and had intended to present these Spirit Pills to Lou Wu as a breakthrough present. I'll hand them to you instead, and you can pass them along at the proper moment!" Li Yuanba pondered briefly, then produced ten jade bottles and offered them.

Great Cultivator Lou stood dumbfounded at the sight of the ten jade bottles. They held another two hundred Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pills.

Even for a Great Cultivator like him, Li Yuanba's lavishness left him in awe.

Such a stockpile of two hundred Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pills represented a massive wealth in any location, something a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator might toil for decades to gather.

Seeing how Li Yuanba could supply this while meeting his own cultivation demands, Great Cultivator Lou felt a pang of jealousy toward the Alchemy Master.

Actually, Great Cultivator Lou had it wrong; those two hundred Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pills weren't the batch Li Yuanba relied on.

This set of superior Spirit Pills came from the reserves created while refining pills for the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivators of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion. Meanwhile, the versions Li Yuanba and his main body, Li Shiming, utilized were specially crafted with enhanced purity.

The distinction remained clear, as the pills Li Yuanba took featured reduced impurities and allowed for quicker successive uses.

"I'll take them for Lou Wu!" Great Cultivator Lou stated, skipping any thanks. Thanks to Lou Wu's connection, their bond was exceptionally tight, letting him speak freely.

Just then, Lou Wu's aura peaked dramatically, surging into Nascent Soul Middle Stage, wavering briefly between Early and Middle Stages before settling firmly in the Middle Stage.

Once his aura had steadied, Lou Wu kept cultivating for a few extra hours until he wrapped up.

He gradually lifted his eyelids, a spark of spiritual light gleaming within, sparked by his recent breakthrough that left an excess of inner Spiritual Power Pattern he hadn't yet fully controlled.

"I've broken through to Nascent Soul Middle Stage!" He rose to his feet, exclaiming in delight.

With both his father and master nearby, he felt free to let loose, pouring out his happiness without holding back.

"Stay humble; despite reaching Nascent Soul Middle Stage, you're still the least strong there. Push yourself further!" Great Cultivator Lou warned gravely.

"Understood, Father!" Lou Wu reined in his thrill and bowed respectfully.

"Your master's gift is in my keeping, and I'll deliver it when the moment fits. Plus, this Mustard Seed Ring holds the sea beast your master felled moments ago—treat it as a breakthrough treat!" Great Cultivator Lou passed the Mustard Seed Ring containing the 'Deep Sea Sky Ring Beast' to Lou Wu.

Taking the Mustard Seed Ring, Lou Wu gazed at the enormous 'Deep Sea Sky Ring Beast' within; its remains could trade for a wealth of supplies.

He realized too that his master and father probably didn't think much of a mid-fourth grade 'Deep Sea Sky Ring Beast,' so he pocketed the Mustard Seed Ring with a pleased smile.
