Chapter 772: Chapter 251: Cultivation Level Advancement_2
Before, Sun Ning and the two others did not care much, thinking it was just the enemy trying to scare them during battle to gain some advantage.
But now, neither of them could speak.
“With such Yin Qi, it’s hard to believe how the White Paper City Lord has managed until now.”
“I didn’t expect the White Bone Crocodile Demon to be honest and not lie,” Ning Zhuo mused.
Sun Lingtong shrugged: “The White Paper City Lord is the only Nascent Soul level cultivator in the Immortal City; if she has problems, this city will fall.”
“Not to mention, if this Yin tide were to lose control and leak out, the entire White Paper Immortal City would be in trouble.”
“It’s a bit too thrilling.”
Sun Lingtong clicked his tongue.
Ning Zhuo frowned slightly, saying solemnly, “Therefore, let’s swiftly locate Sang Le Youling, find clues about my mother’s relics, and leave here as soon as possible.”
He previously wanted to take risks and look for opportunities.
Now, seeing the scale of the Yin tide, it’s far too exaggerated, causing Ning Zhuo to lose confidence in the White Paper City Lord.
Although he also has a sense of adventure, he knows his own limits.
“In the Liangzhu Country battlefield, I was able to shine because of the severe mutual constraint and consumption between the Divinity Transformation level and Nascent Soul levels.”
“Originally, I thought the White Paper City Lord could be the mainstay to hold back the Ghost Tide. Now it truly seems too precarious!”
“Running away quickly is the responsible choice.”
Ning Zhuo lacks the spirit of self-sacrifice for others.
He has been cautious, calculating from a young age, considering the City Lord’s Mansion and Meng Kui as imaginary foes, feeling too much pressure.
Moreover, he has been cared for and taught by Sun Lingtong since childhood, who comes from the Bukong Sect, not exactly kind-hearted.
In Ning Zhuo’s heart, the White Paper Immortal City is merely a stopover, and the life and death of beings are ordained by fate. He has more important things to do!
After some examination, the two figured out the purpose of this house.
It must be said, the facilities are very comprehensive, and the formation’s power is superior, making it the first time Sun Ning and the two of them enjoyed such.
Even the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon couldn’t compare to this place.
If we talk about grade, the Magic Treasure level of the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon is naturally far beyond this house.
However, after being refined, the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon was like a whiteboard, possessing only the most basic functions; the cabins mostly empty, with much room for improvement.
Ning Zhuo once transformed a cabin into a Spiritual Plant Cabin while at the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect. This was his most substantial modification, yet still minor.
“I’ll go cultivate first,” Ning Zhuo said.
Sun Lingtong waved his hand: “Okay, okay, I’ll protect you.”
Ning Zhuo entered the cultivation room but didn’t activate the Spirit Gathering Array or anything else; he just sat, closed his eyes, and cultivated.
Talismans from the Three Realms were placed near his forehead, chest, and navel, gently emitting warm light.
Bright Mirror Spirit Light Dantian.
Five Qi Tian Shu Dantian.
Blood Earth Demon Vessel Dantian.
The Three Seas emitted their respective auras, constantly accepting the aura of the others, resulting in dense clusters of treasure herbs within the Three Great Elixir Seas.
This is the second stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, known as Treasure Medicine Generation.
As he began cultivation, Ning Zhuo’s ears rang, and his vision turned white, feeling extremely wonderful, as if returning to the primal creation times.
As he adapted, this sensation gradually faded.
With Treasure Medicine Generation, every cultivation practice felt like a spring breeze, with the spirit harmonized, forming a seamless whole, feeling fewer flaws and more harmony among the spirit.
But now, his cultivation feels as plain as water, nearly flavorless.
This is not a bad thing but signifies he is nearing the end of the Treasure Medicine Generation stage!
The degree of spirit integration has almost reached its limit. The adaptation between the Three Dantian has come to an unexpandable point.
Mysteriously, Ning Zhuo felt a sense: “The culmination of Treasure Medicine Generation should be in the coming days.”
With this thought, Ning Zhuo felt a surge of enthusiasm, practicing diligently.
Seeing Ning Zhuo cultivate, Sun Lingtong couldn’t help but feel joyful: “Little Zhuo’s aura is very well restrained, probably close to a breakthrough.”
After Ning Zhuo finished cultivating, Sun Lingtong expressed her guess, which Ning Zhuo confirmed.
Sun Lingtong was puzzled: “Little Zhuo, your sensing is rather peculiar.”
Ning Zhuo exclaimed: “Isn’t it because my foundation is deep, naturally resulting in sensing?”
Sun Lingtong shook her head: “Unless you’ve mastered some divination spell or have a profound realm, innate talent, divine skills…”
Ning Zhuo frowned, first thinking of his mysterious innate talent.
The Five Elements God Master confirmed he had a second innate talent, but warned Ning Zhuo not to detect it too early, not beneficial for him.
The two discussed for a while without result, both tired, and went to rest.
The next day, Ning Zhuo found Sun Lingtong had already awakened when he got up.
The table was laid with several dishes of Spirit Food.
Sun Lingtong: “We are in Deluxe One Room, with special paper people delivering meals.”
“Oh, they also conveyed two messages, one suggesting we rest for three days, then choose a cultivation technique.”
“The other suggests we consume more Yang energy to counterbalance the Yin tide in the well. Even if ineffective, every bit counts. These achievements will benefit the upcoming technique selection and other arrangements and activities.”
Ning Zhuo immediately shook his head, resolutely refusing: “I cannot do this; maybe you could contribute some instead.”
Neutralizing Yin Qi would surely cause external Yin to enter the body, disrupting his aura. At this critical end-stage of Treasure Medicine Generation, external mixed Qi would severely impede his cultivation progress.
Sun Lingtong distressedly spread her hands: “You’re troubling me. I’m practicing Youthful Emperor’s Technique, my Yang energy doesn’t leak. Did you forget our Dual Cultivation in Fire Persimmon Immortal City?”
Ning Zhuo showed an embarrassed expression, motioned her to stop talking, which elicited giggles and teasing glances from Sun Lingtong.
“However, I have another idea,” Sun Lingtong suddenly proposed a good suggestion, “Little Zhuo, perhaps you forgot your Yin Yang Qi Vase.”
Ning Zhuo indeed paused, then slapped his forehead: “I was too focused on cultivation advancement to remember.”
Sun Lingtong laughed, asking for Ning Zhuo’s Yin Yang Qi Vase back to research further.
Meanwhile, Ning Zhuo’s cultivation appeared routine until the Treasure Medicine ceased generating.
No matter how he tried to use the Three Elder’s guidance, he couldn’t generate new Treasure Medicine.
Moreover, the feeling of spirit fusion was blander than drinking plain water, akin to ordinary breathing.
“Is a breakthrough imminent?” Ning Zhuo felt a movement of heart, intensifying cultivation. But after a whole day, nothing changed.
He interrupted cultivation to seek advice from Sun Lingtong.
Sun Lingtong directed him: “Little Zhuo, you’re too anxious, which unsettles your Divine Sea, desire is too strong. Know the final step requires the perfect fusion of spirit, none too strong or weak.”
Ning Zhuo immediately understood the key, returned to the cultivation room for practice.
This time, with a calm mind, his Divine Sea remained still, resulting in immediate response.
The three seas’ flowing auras abruptly stagnated, all generated Treasure Medicines quivered, then burst, becoming endless gorgeous aura.
The magnificent aura filled the Three Dantian, rapidly expanding them over tenfold!
The Dantian space continued to expand, its inner walls also broadening and remodeling, achieving qualitative enhancement.
Despite the great aura, it ultimately stemmed from Treasure Medicine, being rootless water.
Soon, it dissipated completely.
At this moment, Ning Zhuo officially ended the Treasure Medicine Generation stage, entering the third stage of Foundation Establishment—Dantian Shines!
