After testing the limits of the "Bestowing System," Yang Hong also discovered one of its advantages.
That is, when Yang Hong bestowed cultivation upon Yu Ke Wei, as long as she circulated her cultivation technique, she could perfectly absorb the True Essence Yang Hong transmitted.
With the help of Yang Hong's True Essence, Yu Ke Wei's cultivation speed was incredibly fast.
As Yu Ke Wei, whose true form was a sixth-grade spiritual plant, received a bestowal once a day, she could absorb 720 days of Yang Hong's cultivation.
This meant that one day of her cultivation was equivalent to two years of cultivation.
Furthermore, Yang Hong's True Essence was the True Essence of a fusion realm cultivator with millions of years of experience!
In just three days, Yu Ke Wei underwent another tribulation,
The Golden Core tribulation!
She condensed a demon core in three days.
Seeing the Golden Core, as large as a human head, Yang Hong doubted how Yu Ke Wei managed to swallow and then regurgitate it.
This was the largest demon core Yang Hong had ever seen, more than twice the size of the demon core from the eighth-tier tiger demon.
"Yu Ke Wei, how do you feel with such a large demon core?"
Yang Hong couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked.
"I feel very good. Very good.
Master, this large demon core should allow me to exert ten times the combat power of cultivators at the same level. Thank you, Master, for continuously bestowing cultivation upon me."
Upon hearing Yang Hong's question, Yu Ke Wei knelt on the ground and sincerely thanked him.
"Are there any other benefits?"
With such a massive demon core, Yang Hong didn't believe it only had these advantages.
"Yes.
When the demon core was condensing, my inherited memories unlocked further.
I gained a more advanced method of absorbing spiritual energy, as well as a method to seduce male beings and increase my strength through 'cultivating yang to supplement yin.'
There are also seven new spells, which are..."
Listening to Yu Ke Wei's explanation, Yang Hong understood that Yu Ke Wei's inherited memories had been further unlocked.
The unlocked cultivation techniques were only equivalent to human mortal-grade mid-tier techniques.
The spells were rather miscellaneous, with the best being at the level of third-tier common spells.
They couldn't even compare to the "Green Wood Body Tempering Technique" that Yang Hong had taught Yu Ke Wei.
Only the seductive method of 'cultivating yang to supplement yin' was somewhat interesting, equivalent to a profound-grade low-tier secret technique.
Most astonishingly, after Yang Hong heard Yu Ke Wei describe this technique, the bestowal system surprisingly added a new martial art with a martial art value of 32—
"Elm Wood Yang Cultivation Technique"!
This meant that even demonic cultivation techniques could be learned by Yang Hong and counted towards his martial art value.
Once the system finished its correction, he could practice it without any side effects.
"Truly, the system is so unscientific."
Since the system was unscientific, Yang Hong was naturally happy to accept this benefit.
He asked Yu Ke Wei to reveal her two mortal-grade low-tier cultivation techniques and all seven spells.
Through multiple demonstrations, he also learned them.
Now Yang Hong had a new approach to acquiring cultivation techniques.
"Yu Ke Wei, for this period, you will remain in your vine form and diligently master and upgrade the techniques I've taught you."
Looking at the giant vine exuding golden light all over, Yang Hong was very satisfied.
He directly passed on his best cultivation technique—the "Great Bright Buddhist Scripture"—to Yu Ke Wei, and by personally demonstrating it, he helped her learn this Buddhist cultivation technique.
The most significant characteristic of the "Great Bright Buddhist Scripture" was its fast spiritual energy absorption and rapid cultivation advancement.
As expected, Yang Hong's judgment was sharp.
In just 41 days, Yu Ke Wei advanced to the fifth-tier Nascent Soul realm, condensing a small vine-shaped Nascent Soul.
Moreover, Yu Ke Wei's demon core was not broken or disappeared; it directly condensed the Nascent Soul in her upper Dantian!
Another 85 days passed, and Yu Ke Wei advanced again, directly reaching the sixth-tier Spirit Severing realm, initially cultivating her primordial spirit.
Upon reaching the Spirit Severing realm, Yu Ke Wei could detach a small segment of her vine-like true form and plant it.
Once the vine grew to three feet long, she could infuse a wisp of her primordial spirit into the newly grown vine.
This way, even if her true form perished elsewhere, she could revive through this new vine.
In other words, Yu Ke Wei had acquired a resurrection stone.
Now Yu Ke Wei could freely roam outside,
And she could also help Yang Hong collect cultivation resources.
For Yang Hong, the most important cultivation resource was various cultivation techniques.
One day, at the foot of Mount Gaizhu, Yu Ke Wei looked at Yang Hong with great reluctance.
"Master, I'm only sixth-tier. Please let me stay for a few more years. I'll soon be able to advance to seventh-tier.
Seventh-tier is the Demon Monarch, a powerful being."
"You're overthinking it. Your rapid advancement before was because your true form is a sixth-grade spiritual plant.
Now your potential is exhausted. To advance quickly, you'd need a large amount of seventh-tier demon cores to swallow. Even sixth-tier demon cores wouldn't be very effective."
Yang Hong shook his head and continued to urge her to leave.
Although with his bestowal, Yu Ke Wei could advance quickly, there was a prerequisite: their cultivation gap couldn't be too large.
Now that Yu Ke Wei was already sixth-tier, and Yang Hong was still third-tier, the True Essence bestowed upon her would have a very limited effect.
Therefore, the best solution was for Yu Ke Wei to find enough cultivation techniques for him to quickly break through his intermediate body tempering technique and then advance his cultivation to the Golden Core realm.
"Master, I'm still a child, very fragile. I don't want to leave Master."
Having stayed with Yang Hong for a long time, Yu Ke Wei knew that Yang Hong was good-natured. She now hugged Yang Hong's arm, rubbing against him and pleading with him.
However, once Yang Hong made a decision, he would not change it.
"I have taught you a top-grade earth-tier cultivation technique, 5 four-tier secret arts, 10 four-tier major arts, and over a hundred spells of various tiers.
Your strength can absolutely overwhelm an average mid-sixth-tier demon."
"But I'm scared~"
Yu Ke Wei widened her watery eyes, looking as if she would cry, and continued to plead.
"Stop acting cute. This is an order.
If you still acknowledge me as your master, then leave.
Do not return until you have collected one hundred cultivation techniques and three hundred spells."
Yang Hong's expression gradually turned cold. He allowed Yu Ke Wei to act spoiled, but he did not allow her to disobey his orders.
"Alright, I'll go out and explore.
Goodbye, Master.
Master, remember to miss me."
Seeing Yang Hong's firm stance, Yu Ke Wei knew that her trip down the mountain was unavoidable.
She retracted her playful demeanor, her expression turning serious as she performed a formal bow. Then she turned and left.
Staying by Yang Hong's side, she had also developed a decisive side.
As Yu Ke Wei approached the formation at the foot of the mountain, her cultivation aura grew progressively weaker.
When a water-blue light shield swept over her, her cultivation had been concealed to the early second-tier.
This was the limit of her aura concealment.
As a demon, Yu Ke Wei could not cultivate Yang Hong's breathing technique and could only use ordinary aura concealment to disguise her cultivation.
"My senses were indeed correct. This Mount Gaizhu is indeed enveloped by a formation. I just don't know what kind of formation it is, with such a large coverage."
As a novice in formations, Yang Hong could only sigh in admiration.
Then, he quickly flew back up the mountain, found an ant nest, concealed his aura, and waited for Lei Peng Wang's divine sense scan.
Although more than a year had passed, Yang Hong's injuries had not yet recovered.
Eighty percent of his physical injuries had healed. The remaining two percent were difficult to eliminate quickly due to residual spatial energy within his body.
His divine sense injuries healed even slower, having only recovered forty percent so far.
Therefore, it was not yet time for Yang Hong to leave the mountain.
He was waiting, waiting for an opportunity.
He believed that this opportunity was not far away.
