Chapter 301 - 266: Blue Physique—Fire Attuned Tao Body! (Double-Length)
The Innate Martial Technique is indeed a rather tricky issue.
Only by obtaining an Innate Martial Technique can he truly enter the Innate Realm, allowing his Qi Refining strength to transform, able to soar to the skies and burrow into the earth, coming and going as he pleases.
He is currently in Da Lai, and the only way he can think of to obtain an Innate Martial Technique is to wait for the next five years to find a way at the Dragon Gate Ridge.
Now that he already possesses a Purity Body, coupled with his Qi Refining cultivation potential, it should not be a problem for him to join a sect’s power in the Ancient Abyss Country.
He won’t fall into the same embarrassing situation as last time, where even a dog would turn up its nose.
However, Song Changming is unwilling to do so.
Previously, it was to travel to the Ancient Abyss Country that he went to the Dragon Gate Ridge.
Now, he can already rely on himself to cross the Abyss and reach the other shore of the Ancient Abyss Country.
Now, joining an entirely unknown sect faction for the sake of an Innate Martial Technique, not to mention the feasibility of obtaining such a technique within these sects, is uncertain.
What if that sect faction is full of internal strife, everywhere fraught with pitfalls; wouldn’t he just be blindly jumping into a trap with his eyes closed?
He considers mindlessly joining a faction to be unstable.
Previously, unable to cross the Abyss, he was the same as Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang, with no choice.
Now, it is different. He can go to the Ancient Abyss Country by himself. Even if he needs to join a faction in the future to seek a large platform for development and protection, he can make the choice best suited for himself after thorough investigation.
Rather than making a blind choice like at the Dragon Gate Ridge.
"No rush for now..." Thinking of this, Song Changming shook his head.
Even if he goes to the Dragon Gate Ridge, he will have to wait for the next five years, as the time for this one has passed.
Moreover, to step into the Innate Realm, he needs to refine the ninth Qi vortex and achieve the Qi Refining Perfection Realm, laying down this foundation first.
Beyond that, he needs to consider refining the enormous medicinal power within him, as well as that Dragon flesh and blood essence which had ultimately fused into his body!
Yes, whether it was the enormous medicinal power he swallowed or the essence transformed from that Dragon flesh and blood, they still remain within his body after his rebirth!
Perhaps it was due to the effect of Nirvana Rebirth.
After purging all negative states, this immeasurable medicinal power and Dragon flesh and blood essence have been steadily sealed within his body.
It is not like inside the furnace, where they seemed like two unstable time bombs that could explode at any movement.
Now, these have become two giant resources for cultivation.
The enormous medicinal power from herbs will undoubtedly be a huge help to his Qi Refining cultivation, as if suddenly having an unlimited resource cheat code.
By comparison, even the barren cultivation environment outside in Da Lai becomes less significant.
As for another part, the Dragon flesh and blood essence, it plays a great role in his Body Refinement cultivation.
Song Changming tried to separately activate the sealed medicinal power and Dragon flesh and blood essence in his body, attempting his first cultivation after rebirth.
The result was even better than expected. If he can continue this way, even in Da Lai, his cultivation efficiency will be several times faster than before!
"Two true treasures indeed..."
After cultivating for a while, Song Changming sensed that the sealed medicinal power and flesh essence remained almost entirely untouched.
It seems that these two great treasures will take an extremely long time before they can be exhausted by him.
The painstaking efforts of that furnace alchemy were not only spoiled by him, but all its products were absorbed by him.
Though he did not witness it, he imagined that Four-Eyed Taoist must have been extremely frustrated upon discovering the furnace empty.
It can be considered the interest he reclaimed.
When his strength increases in the future, he will definitely return to settle the account with that person!
When it comes to dealing with enemies, especially such life-and-death foes, he never intends to let it slide.
Just wait!
Song Changming calmed his emotions and found a set of fitting clothes to put on.
All his injuries, including his exhausted Qi blood, have completely recovered, returning to the best condition after Nirvana Rebirth.
Outside the courtyard, Song Ping’an’s voice came through.
"In the past, when the young master went out for a long time, you didn’t seem so worried. Why are you so anxious this time?"
"This time is different..." Su Qingqing muttered.
"What’s different?"
Their voices grew closer, and as Su Qingqing stepped into the courtyard, she suddenly froze.
"What’s wrong?" Song Ping’an, walking a few steps behind, asked, following Su Qingqing’s gaze into the courtyard.
Song Changming was sitting on the only bench he could sit on, wiping the Qiushui Long Saber in his hand.
All his possessions were melted away in the furnace, except for this Qiushui Long Saber, which was reborn with him back to the Liu Residence.
"Young master!"
Su Qingqing suddenly felt a sharp sting in her nose.
"What’s wrong? Did someone bully you while I was away?" Song Changming asked upon seeing Su Qingqing like this.
"No," Su Qingqing shook her head, then broke into a smile, "It is just good that young master is back."
Seeing this, Song Changming looked over at Song Ping’an.
Song Ping’an scratched his head, indicating he had no idea where Su Qingqing’s worries came from.
"Young master, when did you come back? I didn’t see you outside earlier," Su Qingqing continued to inquire.
"Just returned not long ago." Song Changming did not mention his strange experience this time, and certainly didn’t tell them about his death and rebirth.
It seemed as though he had returned from a typical exploration of the Abyss, with nothing out of the ordinary occurring.
