Chapter 16

Another ten years!

Might as well finish cultivating the Thunder Spiritual Root; I can also absorb more fire spiritual energy in the cave residence.

That’s it!

After making up his mind, Logan Carter went straight to the Thunder Spirit Pool.

There wasn’t a single cultivator at the Thunder Spirit Pool at the moment, so Logan Carter wasn’t afraid of loneliness.

“You brat, you’re here again. I used to think you were a genius, but after all these years, you’re still only at Foundation Establishment Stage Level Three?”

The Tree Spirit couldn’t help but tease.

Logan Carter shrugged and said, “It’s precisely because my aptitude is dull that I have to work so hard.”

“That’s true.”

After saying that, the Tree Spirit closed his eyes.

Logan Carter was an old customer, so there was no need for further reminders.

Very soon, Logan Carter entered a cultivation state.

Time flew by quickly.

Year after year passed.

Five years later.

Logan Carter’s Thunder Spiritual Root cultivation had already reached Foundation Establishment Stage Level Seven.

Victor Moore came again, this time bringing a female disciple.

This female disciple was extremely beautiful, and her manners exuded the grace of a noble lady.

“Brother Carter, you’re here too!” Victor Moore said in surprise.

Logan Carter opened his eyes and looked over.

He replied with a smile, “Brother Moore, you’re here as well.”

Victor Moore was an absolute genius. Through social connections, Logan Carter had noticed that he had already reached Foundation Establishment Stage Level Nine.

Although nearly twenty years had passed, being able to break through two levels in the Foundation Establishment Stage and approach the Golden Core Stage—if that’s not a genius, what is?

“Let me introduce you. This is our junior sister from Heavenly Thunder Peak, also my clan sister, Zachary Moore.” Victor Moore said with a smile.

Logan Carter cupped his fists and said, “I am Logan Carter from Jade Serenity Peak.”

Zachary Moore nodded, carefully sized up Logan Carter, and asked, “Why are you still at Foundation Establishment Stage Level Three? My cousin said you might have already reached Level Six.”

Logan Carter smiled and said, “Slow and steady wins the race. You two should hurry up and cultivate as well.”

With that, he sat down.

Although Victor Moore was puzzled by his cultivation, he didn’t ask further.

The two quickly began to meditate.

It wasn’t long before they were surprised to find that Logan Carter’s rate of absorbing spiritual energy far surpassed theirs.

“What kind of cultivation technique is he practicing? No, it’s his spiritual root aptitude.”

Victor Moore was secretly shocked.

Zachary Moore also looked at Logan Carter in surprise.

Logan Carter paid no attention to their reactions; he had to seize every moment.

Every minute was a spirit stone.

……

Three years later.

Victor Moore and Zachary Moore were preparing to leave.

Victor Moore looked at Logan Carter, wanting to say something, but seeing how focused Logan Carter was, he felt it would be inappropriate to disturb him.

The siblings left the Thunder Spirit Pool.

“Big brother, why hasn’t Logan Carter’s cultivation level improved?” Zachary Moore asked in confusion.

With Logan Carter’s speed of absorbing spiritual energy, he should have broken through long ago.

Victor Moore’s gaze was complicated as he said, “He must have some method to suppress his cultivation. I’m afraid his real level has already caught up to me—Foundation Establishment Stage Level Nine!”

Zachary Moore’s beautiful eyes widened. “You said before that twenty years ago, he was only at Qi Refining Stage Level Nine… this fast…”

Victor Moore took a deep breath and said, “Jade Serenity Peak is full of hard-working cultivators, but I didn’t expect such a genius to appear. Let’s go. We need to work as hard as he does.”

Zachary Moore nodded.

At the same time.

Logan Carter saw two lines of text:

[Victor Moore’s favorability toward you has increased. Current favorability: 2 stars]

[Zachary Moore has developed a favorable impression of you. Current favorability: 2 stars]

Logan Carter remained unmoved.

He had already reached Foundation Establishment Stage Level Nine and was striving for perfection.

Half a year later, Logan Carter finally cultivated his Thunder Spiritual Power to perfection. No matter how much more he cultivated, it would not increase.

He got up, ready to leave.

“Kid, looks like you really do have a way to suppress your cultivation. Not bad at all.”

The Tree Spirit spoke with a smile, his tone no longer mocking.

Logan Carter shrugged and smiled.

He walked onto the teleportation array, about to leave.

“I have an opportunity here. Want to join?” the Tree Spirit asked.

Logan Carter raised an eyebrow and said, “No.”

The Tree Spirit was stunned for a moment, then said, “There are lots of spirit stones, sect contributions, and you might even get magical artifacts or rare treasures. Are you sure you don’t want to join?”

“Is it dangerous?”

“If you want a good opportunity, you naturally have to take risks.”

“Then forget it. I’m afraid of dying.”

“You…”

The Tree Spirit was so angry that its branches trembled.

Logan Carter urged, “Senior, please send me out quickly. I still need to return to my cave for closed-door cultivation.”

The Tree Spirit snorted coldly, activated the array, and sent Logan Carter out.

Logan Carter had spent a year and a half in the pavilion, and still had nearly three hundred spirit stones left in his storage pouch.

He didn’t return to his cave immediately, but went to the Salary Pavilion.

After so many years, he hadn’t collected his salary, so it was about time.

The Jade Purity Sect issued salaries once a year, and they could be accumulated and collected later.

The Salary Pavilion was one of the liveliest pavilions in the Jade Purity Sect, with many disciples and a need to queue up to collect.

Logan Carter’s temperament attracted the attention of many female cultivators, and soon the male cultivators also noticed Logan Carter.

As Logan Carter’s cultivation continued to improve, his unparalleled charm and aura were fully revealed.

The system could only hide his cultivation, not his charm.

“Who is this person? So handsome! I can’t believe our Jade Purity Sect has such a man.”

“I’ve seen him before. I think he’s a disciple of Jade Serenity Peak.”
