Chapter 569: Chapter 152: Unobstructed Field Opening
Ning Zhuo returned to the Three Generals Camp and did not rest. In his own tent, he immediately took out those four National Power bricks.
Liangzhu Country was established based on the virtue of Water, and the four National Power bricks awarded to Ning Zhuo were all black as ink.
On the surface of the bricks, one could vaguely see subtle ripples resembling the undercurrents of the deep sea.
Ning Zhuo had previously tried absorbing National Power to aid his cultivation, and the result was excellent. Now, sitting cross-legged on the cushion surrounded by Floating Cloud, he formally began absorbing it again.
The National Power bricks showed no noticeable change in his hands, with strands of National Power seeping into Ning Zhuo’s body.
Tenfold!
Ning Zhuo could clearly feel that with the same amount of National Power infusion, his cultivation level had increased tenfold!
“Having become Mu Lan’s husband, these four National Power bricks for me are as good as forty bricks.”
This was certainly a huge gain!
In the previous ambush battle, Ning Zhuo had also worked very hard. He would have to go through nine more such battles, each time risking his life with a chance of obtaining a similar level of military exploits to possibly have forty National Power bricks.
But by merely changing his identity, the absorption efficiency of these National Power bricks skyrocketed to such an extent. This greatly reduced his risk and also saved him a lot of time and energy.
More importantly, this treatment would last for a long time, until Ning Zhuo and Mu Lan divorced.
There was not much to say; next, he would keep absorbing the National Power bricks.
A large amount of National Power was infused continually, rapidly dissipating and transforming into cultivation level for Ning Zhuo’s three Dantians.
Divine, Energy, Spirit!
Bright Mirror Spirit Light Dantian, Five Qi Tian Shu Dantian, Blood Earth Demon Vessel Dantian!
The three big Dantians were quickly filled up, bringing Ning Zhuo a painful swelling sensation.
He hastily stimulated the Three Superior Sect Techniques to actively digest it.
Because the transformation of the National Power bricks was quite thorough and direct, Ning Zhuo’s “digestion” was extremely fast.
After numerous repetitions, by dawn the next day, Ning Zhuo in the tent had absorbed all three National Power bricks, leaving one unused for now.
Now when he operated any Cultivation Technique, he felt a swelling pain from the related Dantian. Each of their cultivation levels had reached a temporary bottleneck, each hitting the capacity limit that the respective Dantian could withstand.
In the Upper Dantian, heaven and earth resembled a gigantic mirror, within which countless tiny mirrors floated peacefully.
In the Middle Dantian, five energies converged like pillars, supporting heaven and touching earth, hundreds of times more robust and majestic than before.
In the Lower Dantian, robust Blood Vessels spread across the earth, Blood Qi coursing swiftly through them, producing the loud sounds of ocean waves.
“Such progress has saved me at least nine years of accumulation efforts.”
“The National Power bricks are indeed useful!”
“Of course, being Mu Lan’s husband played a crucial role.”
What followed was no longer about accumulating cultivation level.
Ning Zhuo closed his eyes, entered meditation, and felt the natural rhythms of the Upper, Middle, and Lower Dantians. These rhythms were imbued with mystical Dao essence. Each of the three Dantians had distinct rhythms, but upon careful consideration, one could discover a closely linked correlation among them.
“The next step is to purify the cultivation level, remove impurities, and tighten the link among the three Dantians.”
Cultivation is about addition and also subtraction.
The former enhances quantity, while the latter elevates quality.
Such practices span a cultivator’s lifetime and are not unique to just the Foundation Establishment stage.
Mirror Stand Spirit Communication Technique!
The body is the Bodhi Tree, the mind like a bright mirror stand. At this moment, it needs dusting, lest it gathers dust.
Ning Zhuo’s Divine Sense in the Spirit Sea rapidly decreased, and countless mirror piece Divine Senses in the Bright Mirror Spirit Light Dantian actively dispersed any speck of dust or flaw.
After such reduction of thousands of mirror reflection Divine Senses, the Upper Dantian was clear.
Following the same method, Ning Zhuo purified the Five Elements Mana and refined the Blood Essence.
The cultivation level of the three Dantians decreased significantly, and the swelling pain was no longer felt.
Ning Zhuo resumed his cultivation; this time, regardless of which of the Three Superior Sect Techniques he stimulated, he felt a clarity, like an endless clear sky, smooth and unobstructed without hindrance.
Not only that, when one Cultivation Technique is activated, it can cause the other two Dantians to resonate.
When he drives it with all his might, fluctuations also occur in the Cultivation Level of the other two Dantians.
However, these fluctuations are not intense.
“Foundation Establishment First Stage—Unobstructed Field Opening, I have reached it!”
At this moment, Ning Zhuo is sure he has stepped onto the first stair of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Unobstructed Field Opening!
Purify Heart and Remove Obstacles, cultivate the Dantian.
Cultivators need to cleanse impurities from their Cultivation Level, ensuring that no foreign matter mixes into the Dantian, undisturbed, merely laying a clear foundation for future Cultivation.
To reach this stage, there are two key points.
The first is that the Cultivation Level reaches its limit, only then, when no further progress can be made, can one sense more clearly and conveniently remove impurities.
The second point is the removal of impurities. This requires an excellent Cultivation Technique, as many techniques struggle to be effective in this aspect. Cultivators in good circumstances can use some methods from the Cultivation Hundred Skills to achieve indirect purification. Those not so lucky must make do and continue their Cultivation reluctantly, burying potential risks for future Core Formation.
Ning Zhuo achieved the first point through the use of National Power bricks.
And the Three Superior Sect Techniques he cultivates belong to the top tier, making the removal of impurities easy!
Ning Zhuo took out the remaining National Power bricks and began another round of absorption.
Once again, he filled the three refined Dantians to the brim and then slowly activated the Cultivation Technique.
This time, when the technique was activated, the corresponding Dantian could progress no further, but the fluctuations in the other two major Dantians became extremely intense.
Amid the violent fluctuations, the Cultivation Levels within the two major Dantians were drawn out and infused into the operating Dantian.
Boom!
In an instant, Ning Zhuo’s ears rang and his vision suddenly whitened, falling into an extremely wonderful sensation.
The fusion of spirit made his experience intensely felt, as if he returned to the creation of heaven and earth, shaping land, water, wind, fire, and the yin and yang of Qiankun.
When he came to, his Cultivation Level had greatly decreased again.
The fusion of spirit is not a consumption, but rather resulted in a qualitative change—in the corresponding Dantians, tiny sprouts began to form.
These sprouts, in the future blending of the three treasures, will robustly grow, slowly becoming treasure medicines.
Each treasure medicine is the essence of a considerable fusion of spirit, differing only in the composition of each Dantian.
This is another phase in the early stage of Foundation Establishment—Treasure Medicine Generation!
Thanks to the National Power bricks, Ning Zhuo surpassed the first stage and is climbing to the second stage.
Ning Zhuo Cultivated for a while, and the last piece of National Power brick was also consumed.
The generated treasure medicines, from another perspective, are the essence of Cultivation condensed. To some extent, they bypass the carrying capacity of the Dantian.
When the treasure medicines mature, actively absorbing them is equivalent to consuming inner medicine, which will cause a breakthrough in the Dantian’s carrying capacity and the most critical—the fusion of the three treasures!
This is a marvel of Cultivation developed to this day in the Cultivation World, after countless generations’ refinement.
The fusion of the three treasures is the primary requirement for forming the Golden Core.
In earlier times, the probability of Cultivators forming a Golden Core was very low. When the secret of Treasure Medicine Generation spread, it immediately caused an explosion in the number of Golden Core Cultivators at that time.
Nowadays, every new method incorporates this secret book, merging it into one, making it an important process that nearly all Foundation Establishment Techniques must undergo.
“I need more National Power bricks, and the more, the better.” Ning Zhuo opened his eyes and ended this Cultivation session.
At the stage of Treasure Medicine Generation, Cultivators now spend even more time Cultivating daily than before.
Some Cultivators even continuously Cultivate day and night, not reaching their limits.
This specifically depends on the Cultivator’s qualifications and the Cultivation Techniques, among other factors.
Ning Zhuo is in such a situation now.
He operates the Mirror Stand Spirit Communication Technique, which draws Mana from the Middle Dantian and energy from the Lower Dantian.
As a result, after using the Mirror Stand Spirit Communication Technique once, more seeds of treasure medicine sprout in the Upper Dantian, and the Divine Power, Mana, and energy in the three Dantians all decrease significantly. Divine Power decreases the most by ninety percent, while Mana and energy decrease by about thirty percent each.
Therefore, when Ning Zhuo wants to Cultivate the Middle Dantian, he must first harmonize the spirit-energy of the three Dantians to the highest level before continuing to Cultivate.
