Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 851 - 89 Seeking Help from an Affordable Master

Chapter 851 -89 Seeking Help from an Affordable Master

Following the orders of the Ancestral Azure Dragon, the entire Azure Dragon Clan, like a set of gears in motion, quickly began to rumble into action.

All kinds of one-time use Magical Treasures, Flying Swords, and various secretly concocted Elixirs were transported from all over the Eastern State towards the East Sea—such expendables naturally required as many as possible.

Of course, Low Rank Magic Artifacts could only be exchanged one-for-one with individual Tribulation Lightning, and with the sheer horrifying number of lightning strikes, it was clear that exchanges alone would not suffice; there had to be High Rank treasures to withstand the bombardment of the primary lightning forces.

In terms of top-tier treasures, the Azure Dragon Clan might not necessarily be richer than Long Long, yet the Ancestral Azure Dragon was quite straightforward in lending out a few treasures:

One of them was called the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, a treasure not to mention its other Divine Skills for now, it had a significant advantage of being indestructible; no matter what kind of Tribulation Lightning struck it, it wouldn’t even leave a mark.

The second was called the Purple Gold Dragon Scale Armor, which, when worn, could greatly activate the wearer’s Dragon Blood vitality, accelerate the recovery and circulation of True Yuan, and enhance the Root Bone and physical defenses.

With Long Long’s discerning eyes, it was clear at a glance that both artifacts were highly suitable for withstanding the Heavenly Tribulation. However, when paired together, they seemed somewhat inauspicious, giving the impression that if they remained with the Ancestral Azure Dragon, they would sooner or later be appropriated by some highly accomplished Monkey Demon.

Besides these two, there was also the Xuanwu Divine Cauldron that Long Long had prepared himself.

He took the Jiaolong Scales and Xuanwu shell pieces he acquired from the Marsh Country’s Yunmeng and crafted a hefty Cauldron Vessel, designing corresponding Formations to go with it.

As soon as Tribulation Lightning descended, entering the range of the Formation, it would spontaneously generate shadows of Jiaolong tails to shatter the lightning, consuming the bloodline power stored inside the vessel’s Xuanwu shell pieces without any need for the user to control it, achieving full automation.

As for other methods, they were already in regular use, so they need not be mentioned for now.

If all else fails, in dire circumstances, there is still the Burning Essence of the Kunlun Mirror and the small universe burst of the Tai Yin Suming Sword!

In short, regarding this Nascent Infant Heavenly Tribulation, Long Long was not without strategies. What truly troubled him was the issue of secrecy.

Undergoing the Tribulation with the support of the Azure Dragon Clan, it would be difficult to avoid the clan’s watchful eyes at that time. Although they would not scrutinize you during the Heavenly Tribulation itself, whether watching from a distance or inspecting the scene afterwards, they would be able to notice the various methods Long Long employed.

For example, the Tai Yin Suming Sword, if it were to really make an appearance, there is no way the Demons wouldn’t recognize it. Although Divine Swords choose their owners and there is no worry of others coveting it, how would he explain the origin of the Tai Yin Suming Sword?

Obtained by chance before… then why not report it to the clan?

Just recently obtained, was about to report… then where and how was it obtained?

Acquired long ago and forgot to report to the clan… damn it, could that excuse be any faker?

Not to mention, the Demon Realm is not completely ignorant of the Cultivation Realm. For instance, the adoptive master Shi Yao is playing both sides, leading the Jiaolong lineage here and serving as the Eastern Emperor Path’s sect master there, playing her role as a double agent with unbridled joy.

If she recognized his Tai Yin Suming Sword and linked it to Ling Yunpo, the secret would be completely exposed.

Overall, if he wishes to undergo the Tribulation under the watchful eyes of the Azure Dragon Clan, even with a multitude of methods, he’d have to exclude some “Long Long shouldn’t have”; and not much would be left.

Moreover, the Nascent Infant Heavenly Tribulation is already extremely perilous. If any dangerous accidents arise, compelling him to risk exposure by employing his methods, would he choose to expose himself? Or would he choose to wait for death?

After much consideration, Long Long decided that even if it might cause suspicion within the clan, he must not undergo the Tribulation under the care of the Azure Dragon Clan!

“I heard you’re preparing for Tribulation?” Shi Yao suddenly pushed the door and came in.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Long Long quickly saluted and greeted her:

“Master.”

“Let’s talk about serious matters first.” Shi Yao stared at him intently, “How come your cultivation level has improved so fast?”

Long Long then burst into laughter and said:

“I don’t really know, maybe it’s because my bloodline rank is rather high…”

“Even His Majesty, from the beginning of the Transformation Realm up until entering the Dong Yuan Realm, took almost twelve hundred years.” Shi Yao said emotionlessly, “Even so, he broke the record of our clan for the fastest breakthrough to the Transformation Realm and was hailed as a genius that appears only once in ten thousand years.”

“How long did it take you? A hundred years?”

“Actually, I had some fortuitous encounters…” Long Long had to change his tune.

“I’ve never heard of any fortuitous encounter that allows one to skip three ranks in the Transformation Realm and directly take half a step into the Dong Yuan Realm.” Shi Yao continued to puncture his lies, “In those three ranks, one needs to break through a bottleneck to progress past each rank.”

“Or are you about to tell your Master that you just happened to encounter a fortuitous event to skip a rank, then broke through a bottleneck, and just happened to encounter another fortuitous event… and so on, three times in a row just by chance?”

Having heard this, Long Long paused for a moment, thinking that although she hadn’t guessed it accurately, it was quite close.

I first received an elixir bestowed by an immortal, achieving perfection in the Soul Storing Rank; then after breaking through a bottleneck, I was again given an elixir by an immortal, achieving perfection in the Root Seeking Rank; and finally after breaking another bottleneck, I was given yet another elixir by an immortal, achieving perfection in the Obscure Weave Rank.

It’s just that these kind-hearted immortals, some are from Penglai, some from Kunlun, and others from your Eastern Emperor Path… To gain the care of so many immortals, if not a series of fortuitous encounters then what is it?

He then said with a grin:

“You’re worthy of being my Master, all your guesses are correct!”

Shi Yao: ………

With such a thick-skinned disciple, she found herself unable to say what she had prepared to say next.

Seeing Shi Yao so angry she was at a loss for words, Long Long then spoke seriously:

“If not for a series of continuous fortuitous encounters, where else would one find a way to ascend to heaven in a single step? As a disciple who is ignorant and inexperienced, I sincerely ask for Master’s guidance.”

Shi Yao immediately fell silent.

To seek a rapid ascent, mere painstaking effort is certainly not enough; it would require either frequent encounters with fortuitous events or the no-cost-spared cultivation by a powerful patron to achieve such an effect.

If it were the latter, since it doesn’t rely on one’s own efforts, one’s combat experience during magical competitions would often be seriously lacking, yet Long Long’s combat power far exceeds his peers, as evident from easily defeating the guards accompanying Princess Feng Yan last time.

Although a series of fortuitous encounters seems too incredible, upon careful consideration, it’s not entirely impossible, just that the probability is extremely low… Could it really be a series of fortuitous encounters?

Shi Yao initially suspected that her cheap disciple might have secretly aligned with some power, obtaining a large amount of resources to advance his cultivation so rapidly. Now, upon careful thought, this seems less likely.

She pondered in secret for a moment, gradually letting go of her suspicions, only to hear Long Long say again:

“Master, if your disciple does not wish to undergo tribulation within the Azure Dragon Clan, is there some solution?”
