The physical strength brought about by the Eternal Youth Technique requires a large amount of practice to be truly harnessed. If one relies purely on increasing the limit through Realm improvement without actual training, physical strength will not actively increase.
Increasing one's Realm brings about an increase in the upper limit of physical strength. For example, if the upper limit of physical strength at the Peak of the Lingxi Realm is a force of over a thousand jin, then after breaking through to the Linghe Realm, it might reach a force of over ten thousand jin.
However, this power remains in a dormant state and requires Ye Liuyun to awaken it herself through regular physical training.
However, this method of cultivation will never be as obviously effective as the improvement of regular Cultivators.
A full-strength strike from a Linghe Realm Cultivator is enough to blast a crater over ten meters in diameter into the ground, but even if Ye Liuyun reached the Linghe Realm, she could not have such destructive power.
The sensory experience displayed by the two is completely different.
Ye Liuyun's physical cultivation also requires the assistance of Medicinal Pills, but this type of pill is not commonly used by Immortal Cultivators. This pill is called the Body Tempering Pill; taking it during physical tempering can yield twice the result with half the effort.
Furthermore, two days later, the Spirit Stone mine at Liuyang Mountain was fully excavated. The Cultivators of the Yunxia Sect returned to the Yunxia Sect with a large amount of Spirit Stones. The Yunxia Sect was filled with joy because the Yunxia Sect would live very prosperously for the next hundred years.
This time, the contribution points rewarded by the Yunxia Sect to its Disciples were very high, with a maximum reward of ten thousand contribution points and a minimum reward of one thousand, depending purely on the Disciples' performance in this battle between the two Sects.
Those like Ye Liuyun who did not go to the frontlines would get at most one thousand contribution points, but that was already a lot and could allow them to purchase quite a few Medicinal Pills.
Lin Aoxue had already started secluded cultivation again. She couldn't stay glued to Ye Liuyun every day; improving her cultivation level was the most important thing she needed to do right now.
With the help of Ye Liuyun's potent Medicinal Pills, Lin Aoxue's cultivation level grew extremely fast. There was no helping it; Ye Liuyun's Spirit Burst Pill was definitely a holy medicine for cultivation. Lin Aoxue almost treated this pill as food; whenever she ate, she would go to Ye Liuyun to get some.
Therefore, every time Ye Liuyun refined medicine, she would refine a large number of Spirit Burst Pills. At this rate of cultivation, Lin Aoxue would break through to the Lingwen Realm in just a few years; after all, her Aptitude was also top-tier.
Several months passed, and Ye Liuyun planned to return to her residence, ready to begin studying Alchemy again. She still had many Medicinal Herbs that hadn't been combined yet, and she was determined to develop a Medicinal Pill that would turn her back into a man.
However, upon returning today, she discovered many Female Disciples were picking peaches from the peach trees in the living area. These peaches had ripened.
The Disciple living quarters were filled with peach trees everywhere, and these were no ordinary peach trees; they were Spirit Peach Trees. They produced spirit fruits that Cultivators could consume to improve their Physique and increase their cultivation level.
The Spirit Peach Trees bloomed every three years and bore fruit every three years; this year was the time for the harvest.
"Junior Sister, try a fruit." Just as Ye Liuyun was preparing to head back, a Female Disciple picking fruit from a tree called out to her and tossed a fist-sized spirit peach to Ye Liuyun.
"Eh? Thank you." Ye Liuyun hurriedly caught it.
After expressing her thanks, Ye Liuyun returned to her residence with the peach.
"This fruit looks quite rosy; the taste should be pretty good." Ye Liuyun chuckled, then rinsed it with water and took a big bite.
However, the taste wasn't much different from the peaches she ate in her previous life, except it contained a wisp of Spiritual Qi. Ye Liuyun finished it in a few bites. After eating it down to just the pit, she originally intended to throw it away, but suddenly seeing an empty patch of soil in her courtyard, she smilingly buried the peach pit in that plot of land.
"Alright, time to continue developing Medicinal Pills." Ye Liuyun returned to her residence, closed the door, and once again began her Alchemy process.
It had been several months since she had developed any Medicinal Pills. Over these years of researching Medicinal Pills, Ye Liuyun had discovered a pattern: the higher the grade of Medicinal Herbs used in the Fusion, the greater the likelihood of a natural anomaly occurring. The Yunxia Sect could only obtain Blue-Grade Medicinal Herbs at best; anything above Blue-Grade was not available in the Yunxia Sect's shops.
Purple-Grade Medicinal Herbs were rare treasures, considered items of high value, and were certainly kept in the Alchemy Pavilion; they would never be sold.
Of course, Ye Liuyun had no use for Purple-Grade Medicinal Herbs at the moment, because she hadn't even finished synthesizing all the White Grade Medicinal Herbs. She had only finished synthesizing the White Grade Medicinal Herbs obtainable within the Yunxia Sect; that didn't mean there weren't other new White Grade Medicinal Herbs.
According to Lin Qingyou, she knew of tens of thousands of types of White Grade Medicinal Herbs; it was just that these Medicinal Herbs grew in different regions.
The Medicinal Herbs obtainable in each region were different, so after Ye Liuyun had exhausted the White Grade Medicinal Herbs in the Yunxia Sect's area, if she wanted to obtain other White Grade Medicinal Herbs, she would have to go to other regions to buy or search for them.
