Chapter 490

Ning Zhuo returned to the Three Generals Camp, but did not rest, immediately taking out the four National Power Bricks in his tent.

The Liangzhu Kingdom was founded on the virtue of water, so the four National Power Bricks Ning Zhuo received as a reward were all as black as ink.

On the surface of the bricks, faint ripples could be seen, like the undercurrents of the deep sea.

Ning Zhuo had tried to absorb national power to assist his cultivation before, and the effect was excellent. Now he was even more familiar with it, sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion with clouds surrounding him, and officially began to absorb the national power.

There was no obvious change in the National Power Bricks in his hands, but strands of national power seeped into Ning Zhuo's body.

Ten times!

Ning Zhuo could clearly feel that with the same amount of national power infused, the growth of his cultivation base had increased by a full ten times!

"Having become Mu Lan's husband, the four National Power Bricks are equivalent to forty for me."

This was of course a huge profit!

In the previous ambush, Ning Zhuo could be considered to have worked very hard. He would have to go through this kind of battle nine more times, each time risking death, and achieving similar military merit, to have forty National Power Bricks.

But Ning Zhuo only changed his identity, and the absorption efficiency of such National Power Bricks suddenly soared to this extent. It reduced too much risk and saved him too much time and energy.

More importantly, this treatment would last for a long time, until Ning Zhuo and Mu Lan divorced.

There was nothing to say; the next step was to continuously absorb the National Power Bricks.

A large amount of national power was infused and quickly dissipated, transforming into the cultivation of Ning Zhuo's three dantian.

Spirit, Qi, and Essence!

Bright Mirror Spiritual Light Dantian, Five Qi Heavenly Pivot Dantian, Blood Earth Demon Tendon Dantian!

The three major dantian were soon filled to the brim, bringing Ning Zhuo a feeling of bloating to the point of pain.

He hurriedly urged the three supreme arts to digest them actively.

Because the transformation of the National Power Bricks was quite thorough and direct, Ning Zhuo's "digestion" speed was extremely fast.

After countless rounds of this, when dawn broke the next day, Ning Zhuo in the tent finally absorbed all three National Power Bricks, and the remaining one was temporarily useless.

Now, no matter which technique he practiced, he felt a sense of bloating and pain in the corresponding dantian. Their respective cultivation bases had fallen into a temporary bottleneck, all reaching the limit that the dantian could bear at this moment.

In the upper dantian, heaven and earth were like a giant mirror, with countless small mirrors numbering in the tens of millions floating peacefully.

In the middle dantian, the five qi converged like a pillar, supporting the sky and stepping on the earth, a hundred times thicker and more magnificent than before.

In the lower dantian, thick blood tendons covered the earth, and blood qi surged rapidly within them, making a loud sound like crashing waves.

"Such progress has saved me at least nine years of hard work."

"National Power Bricks are truly easy to use!"

"Of course, the identity of Mu Lan's husband played a key role."

Next, it was not a matter of cultivation accumulation.

Ning Zhuo closed his eyes, and after entering meditation, he felt the natural rhythm of the upper, middle, and lower dantian. This rhythm was full of mysterious Dao rhyme, and the rhythm of the three fields was different, but if one tasted it carefully, one could find that there was a close connection between their rhythms.

"Next, it is to purify the cultivation base, clear away impurities, and make the connection between the three fields closer."

Cultivation needs both addition and subtraction.

The former enhances quantity, while the latter improves quality.

This approach runs through a cultivator's entire life and is not unique to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Mirror Platform Spirit-Connecting Art!

The body is the Bodhi tree, the heart is like a bright mirror platform. It needs to be wiped at this time, so as not to let it get dusty.

Ning Zhuo's spiritual sea cultivation began to decrease rapidly, and countless mirror-like spiritual thoughts in the Bright Mirror Spiritual Light Dantian would be actively dispersed even if there was a trace of dust or flaw.

After reducing thousands of bright mirror spiritual thoughts in this way, the upper dantian was clear.

Ning Zhuo followed suit, purifying the Five Elements magic power and refining the blood essence.

The cultivation of the three fields had all decreased a lot, and there was no longer a feeling of bloating and pain.

Ning Zhuo began to practice again. This time, no matter which of the three supreme arts he urged, he could feel a sense of clarity, as smooth as a clear sky for ten thousand miles, blue and cloudless, without any hindrance.

Not only that, any technique could trigger the response of the other two dantian when it was operated. When he urged it with all his strength, even the cultivation in the other two dantian produced fluctuations.

It's just that this fluctuation was not violent.

"Foundation Establishment first stage—Field Opening without Obstruction, I have already reached it!"

At this very moment, Ning Zhuo was sure that he had stepped onto the first step of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Field Opening without Obstruction!

Purifying the heart and removing obstacles, reclaiming the dantian.

Cultivators must clear the impurities in their cultivation to ensure that the dantian land is not mixed with foreign objects and is not disturbed by them, just to lay a clear foundation for future cultivation.

To reach this stage, there are two key points.

The first is that the cultivation base reaches the upper limit, so that there is no further progress, and only then can the sensing be clearer, facilitating the removal of impurities.

The second is to remove impurities. This point requires excellent techniques. Many techniques have little effect in this regard. Cultivators with good conditions can use a certain means in the hundred arts of cultivation to indirectly achieve the effect of removing impurities. Cultivators with poor conditions can only make do and continue to the next step of cultivation, very helplessly burying hidden dangers for future Golden Core formation.

Ning Zhuo reached the first key point through the National Power Bricks.

And the three supreme arts he practiced belonged to the top tier, so removing impurities was easy!

Ning Zhuo took out the remaining National Power Bricks again and began another round of absorption.

He filled the purified three dantian to the brim again, and then slowly urged the technique.

This time, when the technique was urged, the corresponding dantian could not go any further, but the fluctuations of the other two major dantian became very intense.

In the violent fluctuations, the cultivation in the two major dantian was drawn out and actually infused into the dantian that was operating the technique.

Boom!

In an instant, Ning Zhuo's ears roared, his eyes turned white, and he fell into an extremely wonderful feeling.

The fusion of essence, qi, and spirit made him feel very intense, as if he had returned to the time of the creation of the world, the shaping of earth, water, wind, and fire, and the yin and yang of the universe.

When he reacted, his cultivation had decreased significantly again.

The fusion of the three cultivation bases of essence, qi, and spirit was not a consumption, but produced a certain qualitative change—creating little tender buds in the corresponding dantian.

These tender buds would grow strong in the future fusion of the three treasures and slowly grow into precious medicines.

Each precious medicine was the essence of the compressed cultivation of the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, but the composition of the precious medicines in each dantian was different.

This is another stage of the early Foundation Establishment—Precious Medicine Germination!

Thanks to the National Power Bricks, Ning Zhuo crossed the first stage and was climbing the second stage.

Ning Zhuo practiced for a while, and the only remaining National Power Brick was also consumed.

The germinated precious medicine, from another perspective, is the condensation of the essence of cultivation. To a certain extent, it bypassed the limit of dantian bearing.

After the precious medicine matures, actively absorbing it is taking internal medicine, which will cause a breakthrough in the upper limit of dantian bearing, and the most critical point—the fusion of the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit!

This is a cultivation treasure that the cultivation world has developed to this day, and it is a result achieved after improvements by countless generations.

The fusion of the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit is the primary condition for casting a Golden Core.

In the early days, the probability of cultivators cultivating a Golden Core was very low. After the secret technique of precious medicine germination was promoted, it immediately caused a spurt in the number of Golden Core cultivators at that time.

Now, all new methods have absorbed this secret technique and merged it into one, becoming an important process that almost all Foundation Establishment techniques must go through.

"I still need more National Power Bricks, and the more the better." Ning Zhuo opened his eyes and ended this practice.

At the stage of precious medicine germination, the time cultivators spend on cultivation every day actually increases a lot compared to before.

Some cultivators even practice day and night without reaching the limit.

This specifically depends on the cultivator's cultivation aptitude, cultivation techniques, etc.

Ning Zhuo is in this situation at this time.

When he operates the Mirror Platform Spirit-Connecting Art, it will draw the magic power in the middle dantian and the energy in the lower dantian.

So much so that after the Mirror Platform Spirit-Connecting Art is urged once, more precious medicine seeds germinate in the upper dantian, and the divine power, magic power, and energy of the three dantian all decrease a lot. Among them, the divine power decreases the most, consuming 90%, and the magic power and energy decrease by about 30%.

Therefore, when Ning Zhuo wants to practice the middle dantian, he must first adjust the essence, qi, and spirit of the three dantian to the highest level before practicing.
