11: Chapter 11 Terrifying Cultivation Speed

"Sis, hurry up, let's go home and I'll show you something amazing!"

Coming out of the breeding room, Chu Xiu saw Chu Yuqing waiting at the door and immediately lowered his voice to speak to her.

Then, with Chu Yuqing looking completely bewildered, he pulled her along and quickly left the Breeder Association.

"Chu Xiu, what's inside this black bag? Why are you being so secretive?"

Only after the two of them arrived home did Chu Yuqing ask Chu Xiu with curiosity.

From the moment they left the breeding room until they got home, Chu Xiu had been extremely cautious, tightly clutching the black plastic bag in his hand.

She knew Chu Xiu's personality well; anything that could make him so cautious was definitely out of the ordinary.

"Hehe, Sis, look!"

Chu Xiu stopped keeping her in suspense. He set the black plastic bag on the table and opened it, revealing the primary mana nutrient solutions inside.

"Ah! So much mana..."

Looking at the contents inside the black plastic bag, Chu Yuqing let out an exclamation of surprise.

But she quickly caught herself, hastily covering her mouth to choke back the rest of her voice, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chu Xiu with disbelief.

Once she composed herself, she whispered to Chu Xiu, "Did you make all of these using those five magic source flowers from earlier?"

"That's right."

Hearing this, Chu Xiu nodded.

"Hss—"

"You can produce ten vials of mana nutrient solution from a single magic source flower? How... how is that possible?!"

Chu Xiu's answer caused Chu Yuqing to gasp in shock, her mind overwhelmed with sheer disbelief.

She had worked at the Breeder Association for a few years and had seen many powerful apothecaries.

Among them, the production of mana nutrient solution was the most frequent, so she was quite familiar with the efficiency of these apothecaries in crafting them.

The strongest one she currently knew of could only produce five vials of mana nutrient solution from a single magic source flower—and even then, they couldn't consistently guarantee five vials every time.

But what about Chu Xiu? He averaged ten vials of mana nutrient solution per magic source flower.

This efficiency was simply terrifying.

"Sis, these are all primary mana nutrient solutions. We'll each take twenty vials for cultivation, sell the remaining ten for money, and buy another batch of magic source flowers to make more. That way, we'll have a continuous supply of mana nutrient solution for our cultivation."

Looking at the intensely shocked Chu Yuqing, Chu Xiu smiled as he pulled out twenty vials of primary mana nutrient solution and pushed them in front of her.

"Alright, I'm going to go cultivate now!"

Without waiting for Chu Yuqing to refuse, Chu Xiu took the remaining thirty vials of primary mana nutrient solution, ran into his room, and shut the door behind him.

"Is this really the younger brother I know?"

After a long time, Chu Yuqing finally snapped out of her shock. Looking at the twenty vials of primary mana nutrient solution set before her, she felt like she was dreaming.

Inside the room.

Chu Xiu downed a vial of primary mana nutrient solution, and a rich wave of mana source immediately spread within his body.

Seeing this, he immediately circulated the Star Demon Forging Technique to absorb the mana source and convert it into his own mana.

As he circulated the Star Demon Forging Technique, the surrounding mana sources moved as well, converging toward his body.

With the assistance of the mana nutrient solution, the speed at which Chu Xiu absorbed the mana sources from heaven and earth was now not inferior at all to being in the school's secret realm.

In fact, as Chu Xiu cultivated the Star Demon Forging Technique, wisps of starlight force flew out from the countless stars in the night sky and merged into his body, imperceptibly strengthening his physical constitution.

Cultivating all the way until late at night, Chu Xiu finally stopped.

"A single vial of primary mana nutrient solution allows me to cultivate rapidly for three consecutive hours, and the cultivation effect is not weak at all compared to a secret realm with several times the concentration of mana source."

"On top of that, the primary mana nutrient solution provides a large amount of easily absorbed mana source. By cultivating the Star Demon Forging Technique, these three hours of cultivation increased my mana by a full twenty percent!"

"This effect is equivalent to cultivating for a full day in the school's secret realm!"

"If the primary mana nutrient solution has such an effect, I wonder how effective higher-level mana nutrient solutions will be?"

After stopping his cultivation, Chu Xiu felt the mana in his body that had grown by nearly twenty percent, full of anticipation.

At this cultivation speed, he would only need to consume four more vials of primary mana solution and cultivate for twelve hours to break through to Gray-White 9-Star.

Breaking through from Gray-White 8-Star to Gray-White 9-Star in just fifteen hours—if word of his terrifying cultivation speed got out, it would definitely drop everyone's jaw.

Of course, that he could have such cultivation speed was due not only to the primary mana nutrient solution, but most importantly to the Star Demon Forging Technique he cultivated.

The gold-quality Star Demon Forging Technique he had drawn from the system absorbed mana at a speed over ten times faster than the Demon-Forging Technique taught at school!

"Back to cultivation!"

Experiencing the benefits brought by the primary mana nutrient solution, Chu Xiu was full of motivation. He took out another vial, drank it, and began cultivating again.

The next morning.

After cultivating for nine consecutive hours, Chu Xiu stretched his body, his bones popping with a crackling sound, before heading to the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up, he bought two steamed buns at the shop downstairs and headed to Linjiang No. 1 High School.

"You want to ask for a month's leave?!"

In the office, Yang Cheng looked at Chu Xiu standing before him and gave him a surprised look, thinking he had misheard.

Through Zhang Daxian taking leave on Chu Xiu's behalf yesterday, he already knew about Chu Xiu contracting a royal beast.

He was originally prepared to let Chu Xiu's royal beast join the school's royal beast special training.

But now, Chu Xiu came to him early in the morning and asked for a whole month's leave right off the bat, which was completely beyond his expectation.

"Yes, Teacher."

Seeing Yang Cheng's expression, Chu Xiu nodded.

With his cultivation speed multiplied through the primary nutrient solution, he naturally didn't want to waste time.

Although the school taught knowledge related to royal beasts in the morning and organized teachers to conduct combat training for the students' royal beasts in the afternoon, which was very helpful for improving their royal beasts' strength...

...to him, all of this was a complete waste of time.

With the system, he didn't need to learn knowledge about royal beasts at all, and as for combat training for royal beasts, it held no appeal for him either.

In this time, boosting his own strength and contracting another royal beast would be better in every way than training at school.

"The school has royal beast battle classes, which offer no small benefit to improving your royal beasts' strength. You've just contracted a royal beast and need to accumulate combat experience right now. Are you sure you want to take leave?"

Having received Chu Xiu's answer, Yang Cheng looked at him and confirmed once more.

Chu Xiu answered firmly, "I'm sure."

"Alright, but I can only give you twenty days of leave. Because in twenty days, the school will organize all students who have contracted royal beasts to go into the wild for practical combat training."

"The school requires all students who have contracted royal beasts to participate together as a final push for the College Entrance Examination. Since you've already contracted a royal beast, you must participate."

Seeing the resolute expression on Chu Xiu's face, Yang Cheng knew he couldn't persuade him otherwise and could only nod in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu immediately nodded.

Although it fell short of his expectation, twenty days was enough.
