Although Wu Hao was only at the Qi Refining Peak, guiding Wu Rulong in cultivation was still quite easy. Thus, under Wu Hao's guidance, Wu Rulong smoothly absorbed Qi into his body, successfully breaking through to the initial stage of Qi Refining.
Because Wu Rulong possessed a high-grade spirit root, Wu Hao naturally received a thousandfold feedback.
[Ding, detected that a descendant with a high-grade spirit root under the host's command has broken through. A thousandfold feedback has been provided to the host.]
As the system's voice fell, a vast and pure spiritual energy instantly surged into Wu Hao's body, breaking through his bottleneck in a flash. Soon, Wu Hao directly ascended from the Qi Refining Peak to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Wu Hao was actually quite satisfied with his current realm breakthrough. He couldn't possibly become an immortal in one step, right? He would worry about the later things later. The most important thing now was to urge his son to cultivate, and preferably marry a few wives to expand the family.
Wu Hao was coveting the Destined Child's millionfold return greatly.
"Father, look quickly, I've broken through to the initial stage of Qi Refining!"
Wu Rulong ran to Wu Hao's front, saying with an excited expression.
Wu Hao, however, sighed and said with a somewhat disappointed expression.
"Son, you should know that when your Father cultivated back then, it took less than a minute to break through to the initial stage of Qi Refining. But what about you now? It took a full two hours to break through to the initial stage of Qi Refining. And you are still too proud?"
Hearing this, a hint of shame flashed across Wu Rulong face. He had originally thought that stepping onto the path of immortality in just two hours was quite good, but he hadn't expected his Father to be even more formidable than himself. It seemed he still needed to work harder.
But what Wu Rulong didn't know was that in reality, it had taken Wu Hao a full year to step into the Qi Refining Stage. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent a full ten years just to break through to the Qi Refining Peak, and even been expelled from the sect.
"I understand, Father, I will definitely cultivate diligently."
Wu Rulong looked at his father with a serious expression and said. Seeing this, Wu Hao nodded in satisfaction and said.
"Not bad. Since that's the case, Father will set a goal for you. Break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage within three years. Do you have the confidence?"
"Three years? I understand, Father, I will definitely break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage within three years!"
Wu Rulong agreed without hesitation.
Wu Hao then took out a storage ring and handed it to Wu Rulong.
Looking at his son's somewhat curious eyes, Wu Hao explained.
"This is a storage ring. Inside are the resources I've given you. You can just use these top-grade spirit stones to cultivate during this period."
Hearing that it contained top-grade spirit stones, Wu Rulong couldn't help but gasp. He naturally knew how powerful top-grade spirit stones were. It was no exaggeration to say that even Great Emperors were still using high-grade spirit stones, which showed how precious they were.
Within the Xuantian Realm, the currency used by cultivators was also spirit stones, and the exchange rate of spirit stones was also a hundredfold increase. That is to say, one top-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for one hundred high-grade spirit stones, ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones, and one million low-grade spirit stones.
But the most important thing was that spirit stones were also resources used by cultivators for cultivation. If he had top-grade spirit stones, Wu Rulong estimated that perhaps just one would be enough to allow him to break through to the Foundation Establishment Peak or even the Spirit Sea Realm.
However, after Wu Hao taught him how to use the storage ring and he saw the number of spirit stones inside, Wu Rulong looked at Wu Hao with a complicated expression and asked.
"Dad, what realm are you in exactly?"
"Me? Just an ordinary little cultivator."
Wu Hao thought for a moment, then said in a somewhat low-key manner. After all, he was just a cheat, and he wasn't invincible yet, so he definitely had to be low-key.
Wu Rulong, who knows where he learned it, gave Wu Hao a roll of his eyes. How could a cultivator who could take out one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones be an ordinary little cultivator?
But Wu Rulong didn't say anything, he was just extremely curious about his Father's cultivation level. Being able to take out one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, his Father's cultivation level should be very high, right?
In reality, it was not the case. He was just an ordinary mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
Wu Hao didn't pay attention to his son's thoughts at the moment. Just as he sent out the one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, the system's voice also sounded.
[Ding, detected that the host has sent out one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, the target is a high-grade spirit root, a thousandfold return has been triggered, one hundred million top-grade spirit stones have been stored in the host's system space.]
[Ding, detected that the host has sent out one Heaven-grade cultivation technique, detected the target is a high-grade spirit root, a thousandfold return has been triggered, one thousand Heaven-grade cultivation techniques have been stored in the host's system space.]
[Ding, detected that the host has sent out one Black-grade storage ring, detected the target is a high-grade spirit root, a thousandfold return has been triggered, one thousand Black-grade storage rings have been stored in the host's system space.]
Hearing the system's prompt, Wu Hao couldn't help but lower his head and ponder. If he were to give the spirit stones returned by the system to his son again, would this bug still be triggered?
Thinking of this, Wu Hao decided to put it into practice. However, just as he was about to start, the system's voice also sounded.
[Ding, detected the host's thoughts, the system bug has been fixed, please do not attempt to find system loopholes.]
"Alright, I was originally thinking of farming some resources."
Wu Hao thought helplessly, but the current resources were enough for his son to use for a long time.
Of course, there was another way, which was for Wu Hao to exchange the one hundred million top-grade spirit stones returned by the system for resources and then give them to his son. But doing so would put Wu Hao in great danger.
After all, for a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, top-grade spirit stones were indeed too precious. If it were known that Wu Hao had top-grade spirit stones, even if it was just one, perhaps Golden Core Stage cultivators would be unable to resist coming to snatch them.
This was clearly not a good thing for Wu Hao, who currently wanted to develop in a low-key manner.
Of course, Wu Hao now not only had one hundred million top-grade spirit stones, but also the resources left behind by Su Qiaoran when she left earlier. So, he didn't hesitate to give them to his son.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for sending out ten Foundation Establishment Pills, you have received ten thousand Foundation Establishment Pills.]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for sending out five Core Formation Pills, you have received five thousand Core Formation Pills.]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for sending out...]
Before long, the resources that Su Qiaoran had left behind earlier quickly multiplied a thousandfold in Wu Hao's hands. It was just a pity that the system would only return items of the same level, meaning that sending out a Heaven-grade cultivation technique would only return a Heaven-grade cultivation technique of the same level, and it would be the original one.
But even so, the current resources were enough for Wu Rulong to cultivate to immortality. By the time Wu Rulong became an immortal, he himself would probably be able to break through to a realm above immortals.
Looking at the resources in the system space, Wu Hao also nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Wu Rulong and said seriously.
"Alright, go cultivate. Strive to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage as soon as possible."
"Yes, Father!"
Soon, Time quietly passed in its constant flow. Three years, or rather, not even three years, just one year, and Wu Rulong successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
And Wu Hao also successfully advanced to the Spirit Sea Realm amidst the terrifying feedback.
When Wu Rulong was fifteen years old, he successfully broke through to the Spirit Sea Realm, and Wu Hao also naturally broke through to the Golden Core Realm.
By the time Wu Rulong was eighteen years old, he had already successfully broken through to the Spirit Sea Peak, while Wu Hao had already reached the late stage of Golden Core.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems the feedback I get from my son cultivation alone is still too little. At this rate, when will I be able to break through to the Great Emperor?"
Wu Hao thought to himself. He was currently in the late stage of Golden Core, and his lifespan had already reached a terrifying one thousand years.
Cultivating immortality is inherently an act against nature. Every time one succeeds in defying nature, they can obtain great benefits, which naturally includes an increase in lifespan.
Foundation Establishment Stage can reach two hundred years, Spirit Sea Stage can reach five hundred years, Golden Core Stage can reach one thousand years, Nascent Soul can reach three thousand years, and Soul Transformation can last ten thousand years.
Void Refinement thirty thousand years, Tribulation Transcendence one hundred thousand years, Saint two hundred thousand years, Supreme five hundred thousand years, Quasi-Emperor six hundred thousand years, Great Emperor one million years.
But for Wu Hao now, the speed of realm advancement was still too slow. It seemed it was time for Rulong to marry and have children. Thinking of this, Wu Hao couldn't help but look at Wu Rulong, who was currently meditating and cultivating.
However, Wu Rulong shivered, feeling a bit curious.
"Strange, why am I sneezing? Could it be that Mother is thinking of me?"
