Chapter 210: The Marvelous Uses of Divine Light
"In the Wei State's Immortal Realm, a late Foundation Establishment cultivator is already considered mid-to-high tier combat power."
"From now on, I can truly be called a 'great cultivator'!"
"However, I must still keep a low profile; revealing only an early Foundation Establishment cultivation level to the outside world will suffice."
Another three months passed.
Since achieving the Ancient Yu Changqing Body, Qin Ming had not stepped out of his residence, immersing himself in cultivation to consolidate his newly broken-through realm.
At the same time, he enjoyed the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, feeling a sensation akin to reuniting with family as it continuously flowed back into his embrace.
Inside the Void Bamboo Forest, Qin Ming sat cross-legged.
After the evolution of the 【Bloodline Regression】 trait, although the quantity of bamboo in this forest had decreased significantly, their grade had improved substantially.
A gentle breeze swept through the verdant bamboo grove, causing the bamboo shadows to dance gracefully.
Qin Ming was continuing his arduous cultivation of the
Behind Qin Ming, a silver phantom of a spiritual plant manifested; strands of vegetation essence transformed into countless tassels, surging continuously into his body.
After a long while.
Qin Ming slowly opened his pitch-black eyes, a vast spring breeze intent swirling around him.
After completing the cultivation of the
Originally, he had thought that the method refreshing from his innate spiritual plant would end upon achieving the Ancient Yu Changqing Body.
But he hadn't expected there to be a follow-up: "After the Ancient Yu Changqing Body, there is actually an even more powerful spiritual body—the Green Emperor Wood Sage Sacred Body!"
"In other words, the final layer of the
"According to the technique's description, this physique exists only in legends; within the entire Immortal Realm, only one person appeared several million years ago, who reportedly attained the Dao and ascended."
"Holy crap, an immortal-ascending physique!"
"If a Heaven-grade spiritual root signifies the potential for a Jin Dan."
"Then this 'Green Emperor Wood Sage Sacred Body' signifies the potential for a Nascent Soul, or even higher."
While Qin Ming's mind was stirred with excitement, he suddenly calmed down; such a sacred spiritual body surpassing peerless geniuses would naturally not be easy to cultivate.
The amount of time required would likely be a terrifying figure.
"I have already cultivated the Ancient Yu Changqing Body; as long as I am given time and possess the trait in hand, cultivating the Green Emperor Wood Sage Sacred Body is not impossible."
Qin Ming was also full of anticipation for this type of spiritual body.
Subsequently.
He opened his palm, upon which appeared a strand of inch-long cyan brilliance; this was precisely the 'Four Seasons Divine Light'.
Qin Ming drove the divine ability with full force, producing a total of seven strands of cyan divine light, which he shone upon a Void Bamboo that was on the verge of withering.
In an instant.
A flash of cyan-green brilliance passed, and that malnourished Void Bamboo suddenly began to revive with vitality.
Two hours later.
The withered Void Bamboo, nourished by the cyan divine light, sprouted new tender shoots, regained its life, and grew vigorously.
"It seems this Four Seasons Divine Light offers tremendous benefits to spiritual plants; pity the quantity of divine light is limited, currently only seven strands."
"Just reviving this single Void Bamboo consumed five strands of divine light; however, as cultivation deepens, the Four Seasons Divine Light should also continuously strengthen."
"The various abilities of the divine light still await my development."
After finishing cultivation.
Qin Ming summoned Wu Jiang over again.
The moment Wu Jiang received Qin Ming's message, he dropped whatever work he was doing and rushed to Qin Ming's presence.
But when he saw Qin Ming again, he discovered that the other's entire demeanor had undergone some change, evoking an inexplicable sense of awe in him, yet he could not pinpoint what had changed.
Because when Wu Jiang observed Qin Ming's cultivation level, it remained early Foundation Establishment, and he could sense nothing else.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, I want you to take some people to inquire about the situation outside."
"Especially around the Canghai Xiancheng."
After receiving Qin Ming's instructions, Wu Jiang hesitated not at all; selecting a few clansmen, he departed Wangyue Island. Qin Ming also felt some worry in his heart.
After all, when he was teleported away, he had witnessed with his own eyes that Canghai Xiancheng was being attacked by an unprecedented great demon.
Gu Qingzhao and the others hadn't had time to teleport away; he didn't know how they were faring.
During the days Wu Jiang was out gathering intelligence, Qin Ming continued his steady cultivation.
After the Ancient Yu Changqing Body reached completion, his cultivation speed was incomparable to before; coupled with the assistance of Yu Xuan Dan, one could say he advanced a thousand li in a single day.
For a cultivator reaching late Foundation Establishment, every increment of magic power is extremely difficult to achieve.
Yet here with Qin Ming, every day he could feel his sea of magic power growing steadily, advancing toward broader horizons.
"I didn't expect that after my spiritual body reached completion, my magic power cultivation would break through to late Foundation Establishment first."
"My body-refining arts have always been one of my major trump cards; it is time to also cultivate the third transformation of True Qi Manifestation."
In the days that followed.
Qin Ming stayed within his cave dwelling and began refining 'Void-Breaking Pills'.
This pill formula was obtained from Su Yuqing, requiring a second-stage perfect demon core for refinement.
Originally, Qin Ming only possessed one second-stage perfect demon core from the Heavy-Eyed Demon Ape.
As a result, last time, through a twist of fate, he was teleported to the lair of the Earth-Shaking Xiong Wang; after killing that second-stage perfect bear demon, he obtained another lightning-attribute second-stage perfect demon core.
Demon cores of this grade could be said to be unique even within Canghai Xiancheng.
"With two high-grade demon cores, I should be able to refine quite a few more Void-Breaking Pills."
Subsequently.
Qin Ming immersed himself in pill refinement.
But he had somewhat underestimated the difficulty of refining the Void-Breaking Pill; in the first five batches, Qin Ming failed every single one.
"The difficulty of refining this pill—I didn't expect it to be several times harder than the Yu Xuan Dan."
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Qin Ming: his Four Seasons Divine Light could act upon all things; he wondered what effect it might have if used for pill refining? No sooner thought than done.
In the subsequent refinements, Qin Ming employed the divine ability 'Four Seasons Divine Light'; a wisp of cyan-green radiance flashed, and instantly, the herbal essence within the spiritual materials floating before him was extracted by him without any reservation.
It was even far purer than the pill embryos he had previously extracted using secret methods.
"It can be done like this!?"
"Indeed, it can be used for pill refining, especially for wood-attribute spiritual pills, where it yields twice the result with half the effort."
"However, using the Four Seasons Divine Light for pill refining is too wasteful; I cultivated bitterly for quite some time before managing to produce just a few wisps."
With the aid of the Four Seasons Divine Light, Qin's subsequent pill refining proceeded much more smoothly.
Three days later.
A rich, peculiar fragrance of pills lingered within Qin Ming's cave dwelling.
Having exhausted that one Second-Stage Perfect Heavy-Eyed Demon Ape demon core, along with the spiritual materials purchased at great expense, he had refined six common item quality Void-Breaking Pills and two premium quality Void-Breaking Pills.
Such pills—let alone eight, even a single one—were nearly unseen in the Wei State Immortal Realm.
This pill formula had been obtained by Su Yuqing from the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty; according to him, even his own success rate in refining Void-Breaking Pills was only thirty percent.
One could thus imagine how difficult it was to obtain this pill.
Had Qin Ming not possessed the Four Seasons Divine Light this time, he likely would not have been able to refine so many; at most, he would have produced two or three pills.
A look of satisfaction appeared on his face as he took out two exquisite jade bottles and stored the Void-Breaking Pills inside.
Just as he finished refining the pills,
Wu Jiang returned with his clansmen after gathering intelligence.
Upon returning to Wangyue Island, Wu Jiang headed straight for the main peak to report to Qin Ming.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, what is the situation with the beast tide outside?" Qin Ming invited Wu Jiang to sit on a stone stool beneath the spiritual peach tree and poured him a cup of spiritual tea.
