Chapter 541: Chapter 130: Perch Bird (Two in One)_2

On paper, one feels yet the shallowness, deeply knowing such matters must be personally experienced.

As one at the Foundation Establishment Level, even surrounded by countless comrades, he could be instantly killed.

Those Golden Core Level cultivators from Thousand Peak Forest were slain consecutively by the trio Liu, Guan, and Zhang, as if butchering pigs and dogs!

Strong cultivators like Lord Long, at the Nascent Soul Level, nearly perished in flames in the end.

These were all facts Ning Zhuo personally witnessed, and these facts thoroughly ignited the flames within his heart.

“Foundation Establishment… is not enough!”

“Golden Core… also not enough!”

“Nascent Soul… still not enough!!”

“I must climb higher, continue to ascend relentlessly, accumulating my Cultivation Level at full speed.”

“I want to become a powerful cultivator, I want to control my own fate!”

At the moment of being killed, Ning Zhuo didn’t even have the capacity to react. He was unwilling to endure such sorrow again.

However, accumulating Cultivation Level, how easy can it be?

Sun Lingtong, with such innate talent and comprehension, has Cultivated until now yet still remains at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

It’s not that he hasn’t worked hard, but this is normal.

Cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Stage, a few decades is considered short, normally it’s around a hundred years. Thus, many cultivators die of old age without breaking through the bottleneck to advance to the Golden Core Stage.

Sun Lingtong’s pace is actually quite rapid.

Ning Zhuo is only sixteen years old and has already advanced to the early stages of Foundation Establishment. He is practicing three Sect Points, and these three are top-tier techniques in the world.

Practicing one technique alone requires accumulating more Spiritual Energy than usual, consuming more time and energy.

Ning Zhuo, on this basis, must multiply that by three!

Therefore, Sun Lingtong asserts, Ning Zhuo’s Cultivation will inevitably be slow and time-consuming.

Once, Sun Lingtong also advised Ning Zhuo not to rush.

In worldly matters, there are neither solely advantages nor are there solely disadvantages.

Slow Cultivation, excessive time consumption, and excessive investment, this is the hefty price of practicing top-tier techniques!

Ning Zhuo does not want to follow the usual course.

He now travels the world, risking dangers in the north and south to save his mother. He has a pressing need for increased Cultivation Level, wishing he could become a Mahayana Realm cultivator in the next moment.

Therefore, he is always actively looking for ways to accelerate his Cultivation.

Thanks to this brilliant and splendid era of Cultivation!

In this world, there indeed exist shortcuts to accumulate Cultivation Level.

The most common is adopting higher-quality Cultivation Techniques, Spirit Stones, Elixir Pills, Magic Treasures, etc., followed by Dual Cultivation, empowerment, and devouring and converting others’ Mana and so forth.

National Power is akin to empowerment.

Using National Power, one can directly increase a Cultivator’s Cultivation Level in an extremely short time, rather than through means like Spirit Stones, Elixir Pills to enhance Cultivation efficiency.

The latter is akin to a tree growing, just faster than before. The former is like directly grafting a trunk to your own tree.

“I currently possess four bricks of National Power, to what level can they boost my Cultivation?”

Ning Zhuo’s thoughts overflowed, yet he stopped drawing from National Power, adopting common methods to Cultivate.

This immediately produced a great disparity in his heart.

“Slow, normal Cultivation is truly too slow!”

“In my current situation, this speed of Cultivation is really unbearable for me.”

The next day.

Shuangjing, in Canglin Immortal City, hosted a banquet for Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo arrived on time for the banquet.

Shuangjing reverted to his usual noble family disciple demeanor, dressed in a green robe, elegant and composed.

Ning Zhuo saluted with clasped hands.

Shuangjing sat in place, not rising but gesturing with a hand to sit opposite him.

“This Little Bird Tower, is the most renowned restaurant in the whole Canglin Immortal City.”

“Their specialty is the ‘Multitude of Birds, Singular Heart Banquet’.”

“I have reserved this top floor and specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare this ‘Multitude of Birds, Singular Heart Banquet’, Advisor Ning, please feel free to feast.”

Shuangjing smiled, introducing the meal to Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo naturally responded politely.

The first Spirit Food served was called Silver Wave Spiritual Energy Soup.

The soup was translucent, with a faint silver glow on the surface, a fresh fragrance, containing bird meat as the main ingredient with a pale color, along with gingko, white fungus, snow pear, goji berries, and fish maw as supplements.

Ning Zhuo first used a spoon, took a small sip, the soup was light and warm with a natural fruit fragrance and medicinal scent, cool yet with a hint of sweetness.

He then had a bite of bird meat, which melted in the mouth, offering a distinct texture.

In Shuangjing’s eyes reflecting the food-tasting Ning Zhuo, he carefully observed each gesture of Ning Zhuo, thinking: “The Ning Family truly is a major clan.”

The Ning Family once had a Nascent Soul Level cultivator and migrated from North Wind Country to Southern Bean Country, possessing some family heritage.

Placed among the truly noble family disciples, this heritage can be clearly seen even in subtle aspects.

Although Ning Zhuo lost his parents early, he was taught life etiquettes by his uncle and aunt. At school, there are also elders who specifically teach students the daily behavioral norms covering various aspects of life.

And as Ning Zhuo grew older, having read various books, he also trained himself, enhancing this aspect of upbringing for dealing with some high-status cultivators and gaining their favor.

Shuangjing saw that Ning Zhuo’s eating movements were neat, elegant, seemingly slow but actually quick, feeling much more comfortable in his heart and also began to taste his portion of Spiritual Energy Soup with an appetite.

Ning Zhuo drank about half of the Spiritual Energy Soup and then stopped eating.

Shuangjing asked, “Advisor Ning, do you know what the main ingredient of this Spirit Food is?”

Ning Zhuo replied, “It should be the Perch Bird.”

Shuangjing then said, “There are many types of Perch Birds, specifically which one is it?”
