Chapter 152: Chapter 151: How to Cultivate the Heavenly Fox Eye

While clearing those greenery, he naturally spurred the Green Jade Vine to absorb some of the life aura exclusive to the plant world, nurturing his own mark of the Green Jade Vine. He had never been this invested, even in the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye.Of course, it was also because other marks couldn't be nurtured through the energy in the air. Only the Green Jade Vine, precisely because its grade was low, allowed Tang San to clearly feel the mark becoming active when he slowly infused these life forces into it.

This wasn't an enhancement of bloodline but a pure elevation of the life force within the mark. Tang San himself didn't know what effects this enhancement would bring, but he was eager to try.

There were no students from the spirit monster races here, so it wasn't easy for him to advance the grade of his Green Jade Vine, but he needed a deeper understanding of the plants in this world. Through the communication between the Green Jade Vine and ordinary plants, he could gain some insight. Just as he had gained some new understandings after consuming the Dragon Tendon Fruit.

As evening approached, Tang San's day of work came to an end. He bid Elder Mao farewell and was ready to return to the academy town.

Leaving his dwelling and heading towards the back door, he had to pass by the cultivation area of the Jiali Academy.

Tang San deliberately slowed his steps, occasionally glancing around. With his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye coupled with the Purple Demon Eyes, he could see everything within his field of vision clearly and remembered these locations well.

What he wanted to see was that figure; unfortunately, it seemed his luck wasn't very good today, as he didn't catch a glimpse.

Just as Tang San was walking toward the back door, feeling a sense of disappointment, he suddenly thought of something.

The Heavenly Fox Eye could sense luck, and after reaching the Fourth Stage, Du Bai seemed to be able to control luck to a certain extent. So, if he could also enhance the Heavenly Fox Eye to the Fourth Stage and control luck concerning himself to some extent, then wouldn't his luck improve? Could he then see Pretty Girl as he wished in his heart?

At that thought, Tang San's eyes suddenly lit up.

No wonder the Heavenly Fox Eye is considered an exceptionally powerful bloodline! This bloodline's applications are indeed broad.

If the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox knew someone was planning to use the Heavenly Fox Eye to chase after a girl, who knows if it would be so angry that even its nose would crook.

Contemplating this possibility, Tang San decided he needed to get closer to Du Bai. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Back at the academy, just in time for dinner, Tang San's venture into the Jiali Academy for experience wasn't a secret, although the teachers hadn't told other students how he was training.

From his time at the academy, especially after going out for experience, Tang San had basically integrated into the entire group. Particularly with several people he was more familiar with, his relationships were very good.

Tang San sat down next to Du Bai and said while eating his meal, "Come to my room later."

"Hmm." Du Bai nodded, turned his head towards Tang San, and sent an inquiring look, his eyes sparkling brightly.

The more his spiritual power increased, the stronger his sense of closeness to Tang San became. With his own understanding of the Heavenly Fox Eye, he naturally knew it was luck guiding him to spend more time with Tang San, which would be greatly beneficial to him.

He had this feeling since he was young; the closer he was to someone, the more that person would usually help him. If he disliked someone, it proved that there was an issue with that person, at the very least not being good to him, or that the person wasn't nice to begin with.

Wu Bingji was the first one to finish dinner, lately he always felt short on time, immersing himself daily in the practice of his ice needle acceleration technique. Just the ice needle acceleration alone was challenging for him to cultivate; regarding the Mother-Son Soul-Chasing Ball, he was still far from mastery.

The most important reason was the lack of spiritual power. He had recently spared no expense to purchase a very costly and rare treasure capable of enhancing spiritual power and had consumed it. This nearly drained the entire fortune of the finance-guarding senior brother, causing him real heartache. Just yesterday, he told Tang San that once he mastered the second acceleration of his ice needle technique, he intended to go out for another round of experience—being broke was a serious problem!

It wasn't just Wu Bingji who had this thought; other members of Tang San's team were also entertaining similar ideas. Truly, it was because their first venture's harvest was far too bountiful.

With the gains from that venture, they had all purchased some items to enhance their prowess, effectively creating a virtuous cycle that made increasing their power easier and faster. With the feeling of accelerated improvement, who would want to stick to a routine cultivation?

Gu Li felt this especially profoundly, just yesterday he had used the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique for the first time to defeat Zhang Zebin, truly showing off his strength. With the Fifth Stage Time Variation Seal control getting stronger, plus the continuous attacks of the Tail Hammer, Gu Li's combat abilities could now be considered among the top within the entire academy.

"What's wrong?" Du Bai followed Tang San back to his room, "Got some good news?" he asked cheerily.

Tang San smiled and said, "What more good news do you want? I just wanted to ask you, how's your spiritual power enhancement going these days? How much longer before you can liquefy all your spiritual power?"

Du Bai rolled his eyes, "Liquefying spiritual power isn't that easy! Even Teacher Guan and the two Teacher Mus haven't achieved it. I'm just at the Fourth Stage! However, I do feel a noticeable concentration in my spiritual power when I cultivate the Purple Demon Eyes you taught me, during which it seems considerably easier to transform into a liquid state. Too bad the purple qi coming from the east doesn't last long each day."

Tang San said, "You can't rush things. The cultivation of the Purple Demon Eyes requires constant accumulation and nurturing. If the purple qi's duration was too long, your eyes couldn't handle it. The continual improvement of spiritual power is very beneficial for you. I have another cultivation method—do you want to give it a shot?"

Du Bai hesitated, "What method?"

Tang San replied, "Exhaustion. Deplete all your spiritual power as much as possible, then when it replenishes, there might be an improvement, possibly faster than with normal cultivation. This should be quite effective for both you and Senior Brother Gu Li."

"Ah? How should I do that then?" Du Bai, somewhat troubled, said, "Senior Brother Gu Li, that's easy for him, just keep using Time Variation Seal. But my Heavenly Fox Eye is mostly passive, and if I actively apply luck, under normal circumstances it can only be slightly increased, but not significantly. I can't just explosively apply it like last time, which means, I need a significant stimulus to enter such an excessively consumed state."

Tang San nodded and responded, "I think I understand what you mean. That is to say, under extreme external stimuli, your Heavenly Fox Eye becomes stronger, which might, for instance, drastically improve your luck. After such exhaustion, however, you'd also enter a weakened phase, like how you passed out for a while last time, right?"

"More or less. It should be similar. The fainting was due to the backlash from overexertion. Last time was too harsh; truth is, after overcoming the Fourth Stage and ascending to a higher state, my recovery sped up. Otherwise, it would've been even slower."

Tang San nodded, "Then we might actually give it a try. For instance, wouldn't entering a near-death state also count as a stimulus?"

Du Bai stunned, "Near-death? I don't know about that!"

A glint flashed in Tang San's eyes, and suddenly Du Bai felt a slight pain in his own eyes. What's going on?
