Chapter 780: Chapter 256: Soul Cultivator’s Opportunity_2
“The soul foundation has reached three hundred and twenty times that of an average person.”
“It’s just one meal, yet it increased by so much! Difficult to stomach, indeed, but the fragrance is truly enchanting.”
Ning Zhuo sighed sincerely.
Even though he has not traveled to many places, his experiences and insights have grown significantly. At this moment, in this setting, Ning Zhuo is acutely aware: this is an incredibly rare opportunity for soul cultivation!
A Spirit Chef like the elder is not someone he can casually encounter.
Nor does any place has such a favorable environment as White Paper Immortal City, providing abundant, precious, fresh ingredients.
It is the combination of all these conditions that led to the current opportunity.
It seems ordinary, but is truly rare.
“It’s the perfect chance to remedy my weakness!”
Ning Zhuo had suffered due to this, and the battle with the Heaven and Earth Ghosts made him deeply realize that the weakness of his soul is one of the fatal flaws.
Hence, he is highly motivated to improve this major weakness!
“I am just at the Foundation Establishment Stage, not the Golden Core. Low cultivation has its benefits. It allows me to utilize the Cultivation Hundred Skills to easily enhance areas that my main cultivation technique doesn’t cover.”
When his cultivation level rises, such as reaching the Golden Core Stage, if Ning Zhuo were to consume these Netherworld cuisines again, the effect would be greatly diminished.
While cultivation is weak, it’s the best period to lay foundations, one should not miss it.
“Jiao Ma, you’ve been here for how long, and already on the leaderboard?”
“Do you have any insights or experiences to share with us?”
“You exchanged your hard-earned accomplishments for these Netherworld cuisines, aren’t you worried about being knocked off the charts?”
Seeing Ning Zhuo lounging, some male concubines approached him reluctantly to chat and seek guidance.
Ning Zhuo patted his full belly lazily and with pride said, “I mainly practice the ‘Three Burners Right Yang Scripture,’ along with the divine medicine secretly sold to me by Yang Weida, surpassing most people is quite easy, naturally no worries.”
Yet he was speaking nonsense with an open eye, not mentioning a word about the real hero, the Yin Yang Unified Pot.
Everyone listened, alert.
The matter regarding the ‘Three Burners Right Yang Scripture,’ they were all aware.
Ning Zhuo’s name on the leaderboard, this intelligence became known to everyone after he broke into the top fifty.
What is the divine medicine of Yang Weida?
Everyone quickly exchanged glances, detecting the joy in each other’s eyes. Surprised to actually glean valuable information, this Jiao Ma is indeed too young!
Everyone mostly has settled their main cultivation techniques, many even shifted to practice ‘Soul Fragrance Pivot Technique,’ ‘Hidden Ghost Fetus Technique,’ none would cultivate something like the ‘Three Burners Right Yang Scripture.’
But Yang Weida’s elixir pills, anyone can consume them.
Alchemy is the foremost among Cultivation Hundred Skills, having such skills is really convenient for many.
Looking at Yang Weida’s ranking, surprisingly he is in the thirties!
This further proves his divine medicine is extremely effective.
Thus, many people immediately abandoned Ning Zhuo, hurried away without even saying goodbye, heading to find Yang Weida.
Undoubtedly, almost all of these people were heading towards the Zhuangyang Academy, ambitious about their future.
Ning Zhuo has his own ambition as well.
After digesting most of the Spirit Foods, he regained some vitality, returning to Room No.1 of Grade A to continue his cultivation.
If any male concubine from Cangyang Villa gets promoted to the three academies, they will meet Sang Le Youling privately, and after divination face-to-face with the latter to confirm they are not a spy, only then will they enter the three academies.
At that time, Ning Zhuo will naturally see Sang Le Youling, present his token, and gain the opportunity for divination he desires.
Right now, he cannot force it.
Sang Le Youling just survived an assassination, rumors are rife, and exposing his identity could cause misunderstandings.
As for the Yin Yang Unified Pot, it must be kept secret!
This treasure holds immense value for the White Paper City Lord, aligning perfectly with his goals. Although the City Lord is of the Righteous Path, under such circumstances, people’s hearts can be hard to predict.
Ning Zhuo has no need to entrust his fate to others’ integrity.
Even if the White Paper City Lord has no intent to harm, he may have Righteous Path principles, but he can’t withstand White Paper Immortal City’s numerous internal faults, being infiltrated like a sieve.
If Ning Zhuo shows key importance, he will likely become the target of enemy focus and assassination.
Look at Sang Le Youling, in White Paper Immortal City, holding high status and authority, being the City Lord’s right-hand, still proficient in divination, yet the current situation speaks to the severity of issues.
Ning Zhuo continued his cultivation.
He still holds National Power Bricks, but at the Abnormal Phenomenon Seed Talisman stage, it’s not an accumulation of quantity, but insights into the technique itself.
Practicing three cultivation techniques simultaneously, Ning Zhuo is blessedly bewildered!
The ‘Mirror Stand Spirit Communication Technique’ is mastered, and the progress of ‘Five Elements Qi Regulation Art’ is swift, after all, the Five Elements Realm is incredibly profound. The ‘Demon-infused Bloodline Technique’ is Ning Zhuo’s shortcoming, the progress is quite average.
Ning Zhuo focused his main energy on comprehending the ‘Demon-infused Bloodline Technique,’ spending only twenty percent of the time he spent on the former onto ‘Five Elements Qi Regulation Art.’ Yet the progress of the latter far surpasses the former.
Ning Zhuo is not just cultivating techniques, he also uses the Fetal Breathing Spirit Boat to temper his physique.
Enhancement of physique foundation brings comprehensive benefits. Not to mention, with the Spirit Foods, a stronger physique increases digestive capabilities.
Finally, the soul.
“In this aspect, my own requirements are the lowest; as long as I enhance it as much as possible, remedy weaknesses, and not be singled out so easily.”
Ning Zhuo thought to himself, unaware that he benchmarked against the Heaven and Earth Ghosts, setting a very high standard, far surpassing Soul Cultivators.
The Ghost Tide is continuously rising.
A large number of Lantern Ghosts appeared, releasing layers of Yin Fire, burning the White Paper City walls, capturing most people’s attention.
Sang Le Youling suddenly sent a Flying Message, delivered to Tie Guzheng, the leader of the City Guard Army.
Tie Guzheng glanced at the message with Divine Sense, immediately mobilizing a team of City Guard Army, concentrating them on the west wall. Ordering them to all use specialized paper daggers, disregard consumption, ready to deal with the enemies’ ropes.
Indeed, under the west wall, a batch of Hanging Ghosts secretly gathered, under the cover of Yin Fire, releasing hanging ropes together, fastening them on the wall, swiftly ascending.
Who knew the City Guard Army were already prepared, upon seeing the ropes latch on, immediately using paper daggers to cut them down.
Without the ropes, these Hanging Ghosts all fell down, most perishing on the spot.
Cheers echoed back, Tie Guzheng let out a breath of relief, secretly grateful to Sang Le Youling, consistent as always.
Within Cangyang Villa, Ning Zhuo’s soul foundation quietly rose to four hundred and fifty times that of an average person.
…
Outside the city, the myriad ghosts surged, assailing the White Paper Immortal City.
Within the city, in a certain corner.
Ghost Gate Pass had been secretly built, intending to coordinate internally and externally to breach the city.
Suddenly, Wen Ruanyu led a group of City Guard Army, directly rushing to the scene.
Ghost Gate Pass just spewed out some Yin Soldiers, caught red-handed, directly being eradicated!
Wen Ruanyu thought it was risky. If not for Sang Le Youling’s divination, allowing a large number of Yin Soldiers to secretly be sent within the Ghost Gate Pass, the problem would have been difficult to handle.
The chaos and turmoil within the city echoed through the gates and walls of Cangyang Villa, sparking heated discussions among the male concubines.
On the bulletin, Ning Zhuo remained in the forties, under the watchful eye of the Spirit Chef Elder, silently consuming multiple portions of Netherworld Cuisine.
His soul foundation already broke through the five hundred mark, reaching six hundred and ninety times that of an average person.
…
“Woo woo woo…”
In the midst of the Ghost Tide, several Ghost Mothers appeared, towering figures.
These Ghost Mothers had bulging abdomens, continuously producing small ghost heads, big ghost heads, bringing plentiful forces.
“Kill!” Having been cautioned by Sang Le Youling, Tie Guzheng had organized a team of elite forces, suddenly transported into the Ghost Tide to cleave the Ghost Mothers, then swiftly retreat.
Ten plus good fighters perished, Tie Guzheng got mildly injured, yet the crisis was mitigated.
Ning Zhuo’s soul foundation increased to eight hundred and thirty-eight times that of an average person.
He finally got his chance.
A group of exceptional male concubines would soon be summoned one by one by Sang Le Youling for divination, and upon passing, they could successfully advance to the three academies.
