Chapter 268 Taiyi Azure Spirit Technique
"Qinghua Changle, Dongji Miaoyan, Daqian Ganlumen... This Taiyi Qingcang Spiritual Technique is actually a secret technique for spiritual plants, which can allow spiritual plants with deep accumulation and on the verge of advancement to transcend their rank and directly advance to a higher grade."

Bai Zichen scanned the contents of the last jade slip and a thought struck him.

The Taiyi Azure Spirit Technique and the Yi Wood Azure Divine Technique, which originated from the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, share a similar essence.

These are all auxiliary spells that help spiritual plants grow and advance to higher ranks.

In comparison, the Yi Mu Qing Shen Technique is relatively subtle, condensing the growth and reproduction of spiritual plants over dozens or even hundreds of generations into a single generation.

In order to seek the elusive possibility of spiritual plants undergoing mutation and advancement.

Therefore, under the Yi Mu Qing Shen Technique, the transformation and advancement from Xuan Mo Bamboo to Sheng Yin Bamboo, and then to Lei Yin Bamboo, can occur.

This is a phenomenon that could never occur even with millions of years of natural cultivation.

The Taiyi Azure Spirit Technique is even more domineering; as long as the target meets the advancement requirements, it can forcibly induce the spiritual plant to advance to the next level.

The process of upgrading spiritual plants is extremely lengthy, often taking hundreds of years.

The Taiyi Azure Spirit Technique, with its almost forced advancement, not only doesn't hinder the successful advancement of spiritual plants, but actually enhances it.

However, no matter how the Taiyi Azure Spirit Technique is used, it will not cause the Sacred Sound Bamboo to turn into Thunder Sound Bamboo.

It's only possible to cultivate a third-tier Sacred Sound Bamboo, something that's unprecedented.

"I wonder if it's a secret technique that Huang Ping Sanren brought from the Tianxing Sect, or if he acquired it later through other means... What kind of effect will combining the Taiyi Qingcang Spirit Technique and the Yimu Qingshen Technique produce?"

Bai Zichen immediately thought of the uses of the Taiyi Azure Spirit Technique.

With their own spiritual veins, they can relocate a large number of Bai family members and use the essence blood of sacred beasts to enhance these people's Yi Wood Azure God Technique.

According to the records in the jade slip by the Bai family patriarch, due to his limited cultivation level, he could only bury the essence blood of the sacred beast deep underground to prevent the aura of the sacred beast from having too much influence on the Bai family members.

However, with Bai Zichen's cultivation level, he could barely use the methods that the Fish-Dragon Sect had devised to effectively draw upon the aura of the Azure Dragon's essence blood.

At that time, the Bai family members will use the Yi Mu Qing Shen Technique to promote the mutation of the bamboo forest, while selecting qualified spiritual bamboos to initiate their advancement using the Tai Yi Qing Cang Spiritual Technique.

I wonder, if a third-tier Sacred Sound Bamboo really appears, what tier would the Sound Bamboo Sword made from it be?

If a spirit bamboo mutates into a thunder bamboo in the future and has the opportunity to be promoted to a fourth-order spirit bamboo, will it have a greater chance of becoming a spirit treasure?
In addition, some medicinal herbs are only one grade lower, yet their price and effects are drastically different.

The Taiyi Azure Spirit Technique still has a great deal of potential for development.

Bai Zichen decided that once he conquered Thunder Cliff, he would begin cultivating this auxiliary spell.

After sorting through Huang Pingsanren's belongings, he discovered that there were no treasures that could be directly used to increase his combat power.

That's normal, though; anything that catches his eye must be at the level of a top-grade magic weapon.

Even at lower levels, there's little need for further refining.

Of course, if he were willing to sell the Heavenly Star Silver Sand, which accounts for the largest portion of Huang Ping Sanren's wealth, he could immediately obtain hundreds of high-grade spirit stones.

However, while selling a spiritual material like Heavenly Star Silver Sand is easy, gathering enough to create a thousand grains again is quite difficult.

These thousand-plus grains of celestial silver sand represent the culmination of countless hours of effort by Huang Ping Sanren, accumulated one grain at a time. This is not a problem that can be solved simply by using spirit stones.

Bai Zichen wasn't so desperate for spirit stones that he had no reason to sell this batch of Heavenly Star Silver Sand.

Even if you don't need it yourself, if you happen to come across a cultivator who urgently needs a large amount of Heavenly Star Silver Sand, it's normal to sell it for double the price.

"Senior Brother Ge should still be in seclusion refining the Day-End Thunder God Pearl. I wonder when he will see my message..."

Bai Zichen left an urgent message for True Person Ge Cang in the sect token, indicating that there was an extremely important matter that needed to be discussed in person.

After thinking for a moment, he sent another message to Wei Dao, asking for a few pieces of flesh and blood from third-tier demonic beasts.

Following Bai Yuanhao's instructions from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, they released Gun Gun from the spirit beast pouch and fed it the pills in order.

I rubbed its round, bulging belly. It had done everything it could. Whether it could successfully advance to the next level depended on its own efforts.

"One of these is worth ten years of arduous cultivation; I hope it won't disappoint me..."

After dealing with all the trivial matters, Bai Zichen returned to the quiet room and took out a Guangling Pill with rings of cloud-like ripples on its surface.

After gazing at it for a moment, he swallowed the pill in one gulp, and it instantly turned into sweet dew upon entering his mouth.

This was the first time he had taken a pill that could enhance his cultivation since he had formed his core.

As expected, Guangling Pill was different from all the pills taken during the Foundation Establishment stage. After turning into sweet rain, a melodious jade sound came from the dantian and sea of ​​qi, which made the true essence of the whole body feel numb.

Then the rain poured in, like a long-awaited rain after a drought, and true essence flourished, rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, this sweet rain does not disappear all at once.

After refining the previous wave, another wave will automatically generate in the limbs and bones.

This process lasted for a full thirty-three days.

"It took only a month to achieve the same amount of true essence gained from ten years of diligent cultivation... But with such a significant increase in cultivation, the meridians need time to process and digest it."

Bai Zichen's eyes still held a sharp glint as he sensed the changes in his dantian.

Thirty-three days is not too long for refining pills. Even if other cultivators do not have the Purple Star Thunder Sword Embryo and cannot match his efficiency in refining medicinal power, it would take them at most half a year.

What truly limits the continuous use of Guangling Dan is the user's own physical limits.

If one meditates day and night, refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the true essence that is slowly generated will be adapted to by the physical body and the meridians.

However, a sudden increase in the amount of true essence equivalent to ten years of arduous cultivation would put immense pressure on a cultivator's meridians.

It is estimated that he will have to stop taking Guangling Dan for at least two or three years before he can take it again.

However, given Bai Zichen's physical strength, he only felt slight swelling and soreness in his meridians, and he would be completely fine in two or three months at most.

After considering it this way, I immediately realized that reaching the peak of the early stage of Core Formation wasn't such a distant dream.

……

“Senior Brother Lu, I don’t know when Master will emerge from seclusion… I’ve visited him four or five times already, but those menial disciples all say that Master hasn’t stepped out of his meditation room since he returned. Even when Senior Brother Wei Chuming came with a letter from Ancestor Wei, he couldn’t see him; he could only leave the letter and ten catties of third-tier demon beast flesh and blood.”

Tong Huan shook his head with a wry smile. Since he made a great name for himself by slaying Daoist He in Qingniu Valley, the number of cultivators from the cultivation world who came to visit him had increased dramatically.

They even received six or seven invitations from Core Formation cultivators, something that would have been impossible in the past.

Even Master Ge Cang didn't have the same prominence as Master Bai in the first few years after he formed his core; he was still accumulating strength for the future.

Unlike Master Bai, who caused a sensation wherever he went, and whose fame is said to have spread beyond the cultivation world of Liang Kingdom.

In the most recent grand opening of the mountain gates to recruit new members, a considerable number of them came from outside Black Mountain.

This situation has drawn great attention from the Qingfeng Sect's leadership.

After initial confirmation that they were not spies sent by other sects, but rather had come from afar because of the reputation of Master Bai as a handsome and invincible swordsman.

They were all taken into the sect, but the subordinates were simply instructed to be more careful afterward.

In particular, a disciple with a unique lightning-type spiritual root appeared among them and wanted to become a disciple of Master Bai.

Even the sect leader, Gu Xisheng, was alarmed. After some investigation, he discovered that Gu Xisheng was the eldest son of a family of cultivators in Yongzhou, who had loved flying swords since childhood.

Having already reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining, he came to Black Mountain to become an apprentice, accompanied by his elders.

Such a talented disciple is even less likely to be a spy for another sect. Which sect would be willing to use a disciple with the Thunder Spirit Root as a secret agent?

Gu Xisheng directly granted him the status of an inner disciple. As for whether Master Bai would accept disciples, that was a matter for the Core Formation Ancestor, and he had no right to make any promises.

"Sigh, I hope that Uncle Bai's cultivation will improve greatly and that he will emerge from seclusion soon."

A barely perceptible anxiety flickered across Lu Song's face; as he grew older, his sense of urgency only intensified.

'The chasm is insurmountable. Back then, I only thought that becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be enough for my life… But now that I've truly reached this point, who would willingly stop, only to turn into a pile of bones after a mere two hundred years of life?'

He mocked himself inwardly, seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the hundred-year mark, but he was still stuck in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Even if the Seven Luminaries Spirit Body can prevent the physical body and magical power from weakening with age and maintain their peak condition forever.

At this rate, reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is a long way off.

Mainly, relying on Lu Song's own wealth and income, he really couldn't afford to buy a large number of pills to speed up his cultivation progress.

That's why he set his sights on the cultivation manual he obtained in the ancient secret realm, to see if this ancient cultivation manual would be particularly compatible with the Seven Luminaries Spirit Body and could solve his current predicament.

Tong Huan sighed helplessly. His few good friends in the sect, Song Lian, said before the pioneering war that he was going to get a copy of the Dragon-Snake Divine Qi to complete the sect's mission.

He was even invited to go on an adventure together.

However, Tong Huan felt that his accumulation of experience was complete and he was eager to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, so he declined the offer.

Unexpectedly, Song Lian disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead, and did not return even several years after the end of the land reclamation war.

His soul lamp in the ancestral hall was in a strange state, sometimes going out and sometimes reigniting, making it unclear whether he was alive or dead.

Before setting off, Song Lian gave Tong Huan a map, explaining that it was the place he was going to explore.

Tong Huan had searched for it once in the past two years, following the map, but found that a powerful demon beast was entrenched there, which he estimated to be a second-tier high-grade demon beast.

He couldn't possibly handle it, so he planned to report the matter to his master after he came out of seclusion.

Let's see if Master can find the time to go and rescue Song Lian.

With Tong Huan and Lu Song gone, the area in front of Baiyulou returned to its usual tranquility, with only two menial disciples coming in each day to clean.

Two other members of the Bai family are in charge of taking care of Gun Gun.

Zhou Suqing had long ago used the power of the third-order grand formation to designate the area around Baiyulou as a forbidden zone.

Only sect cultivators with special status, or those who were originally members of the White Jade Pavilion, are allowed to enter and exit.

Even the sect leader, Gu Xisheng, couldn't get in, for fear that someone might disturb Master Bai's meditation.
