Shennong Sequence

Then, Zhao Yun focused his mind into his inner world, and the vast ocean formed by the magical power he had accumulated over the years suddenly rose up.

Endless magical power transformed into a dazzling stream of light, continuously flowing into the yellow sprout seed.

At the same time, he urged that bit of innate true meaning, wanting to see how much innate magic power could be refined by reversing the innate nature of these vast magical powers.
At this moment, Wang Teng also realized that the potential of this "innate yellow bud seed" was truly enormous!
When the vast ocean of magical power surges and pours into the "Seed of Innate Yellow Sprout," it greedily absorbs it like a whale swallowing a siphon. Using this power, it drives the reversal of the innate principle and, combined with the mystery of the material transformation method, propels the magical power to transform into innate energy.

But at this moment, Zhao Yun suddenly discovered that even after completely transforming the entire sea of ​​magic power in his inner world, he could not condense even a single drop of innate magic power!

Ultimately, it only produces a trace of extremely subtle innate magical power, which cannot be detected unless one uses their full spiritual power to examine it carefully.

The proportion of defying one's innate nature is far too disparate. Exhausting the boundless power of one's inner world only yielded such a faint glimmer of light.
"We might as well use this magic to ambush and rob people; the rewards would probably be much greater!"

Zhao Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

However, the birth of this innate magical power does indeed prove that Zhao Yun will have great potential to create innate objects in the future!

However, the word "magic power" became a problem in his mind.

In the future, he worried that his magical power would not be enough. He never expected that his magical power would be as vast as the ocean. However, when faced with the reversal of his innate abilities, he was still as fragile as a drop of water in a dry desert that was about to be scorched by the sun and instantly fell into a state of thirst!
However, the ripples of innate magical power spreading within the inner world were like the faint light of the primordial chaos, quietly suspended in the void of the inner world. Although they reflected the difficulties of the path of cultivation, they also evoked an ineffable principle of the Great Dao, expounding... an even more powerful essence!

Subsequently, Zhao Yun had no choice but to begin absorbing spiritual energy, drawing upon the already abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth in his Daoist energy repository while simultaneously devouring the pure spiritual energy from top-grade spirit stones, striving to fully restore the depleted magical power within his inner world.

In addition, the membrane of the world boundary on his body, which is the original form of the "World Cauldron" he often uses, is now tightly covering his skin. The power of the world flows around the cauldron, helping him to quickly absorb and condense spiritual energy, transforming it into pure magic power and injecting it into his inner world.

Then, a torrent of spiritual energy, like the Milky Way pouring down from above, appeared in the outside world and continuously flowed into his body, rushing towards the long-dried-up sea of ​​magical power!

It took Zhao Yun three whole days to completely replenish the sea of ​​magic power in his inner world and restore it to its peak state, almost draining the spiritual energy from a top-grade spirit stone!
"This reversal of innate abilities is simply a bottomless pit that devours magical power!"

"Moreover, it took three days to transform a wisp of innate magic power. With that amount, it would take hundreds of wisps to gather even a single strand. To condense a complete wisp of innate magic power, with my current level of cultivation, it would be impossible in less than a few years!"

"Not to mention, this amount of innate magical power is nothing compared to what was contained in the innate jade stone we devoured earlier. It's not even a drop in the ocean."

The more Zhao Yun thought about it, the more he felt that the ratio of resources consumed to the innate energy generated was completely unbalanced, making it extremely uneconomical...

But then I thought about it again, and this is essentially a substitution difference of "reversing high-level innate magic power from low-level magic power". It is expected that energy will be lost during the conversion process... it's just that the loss is too great.

Having figured this out, Zhao Yun temporarily gave up his attempt to reverse his innate abilities. There was no other way; the losses were simply too great, and the current level of expenditure was truly not worth it.

Moreover, now that the "Innate Yellow Sprout Seed" has been fully condensed, the subsequent cultivation path is already clear:
Simply gather the "qi of all things, the spirit of all things, and the matter of all things" from heaven and earth, place them in your inner world, and refine them with yin and yang fire to extract the purest primordial essence. Then, use this essence as "soil" to bury the "Innate Yellow Sprout Seed." In this way, the "Innate Yellow Sprout Seed" can slowly absorb the vast power in the "soil of all things," nourishing itself with the essence of all things, sprouting and growing little by little, gradually maturing into a great medicine, and then be harvested...

However, Zhao Yun had already refined the "Qi of All Things" when he reached the second level of Qi Refining, the "Qi Absorption Realm."

Therefore, this first kind of "Qi of All Things" is already contained within his current boundless magical power, so there is no need to search for it separately;

Furthermore, "all things and matter" fall within the scope of the material transformation method. In addition, Zhao Yun had already analyzed countless ordinary mortal objects, and even spiritual materials had been studied one by one in the treasure vault!
This provides the perfect "soil" for the "seed of innate yellow sprouts" to take root, thus fulfilling the two basic conditions for cultivating yellow sprouts.

As for the third condition, "the spirit of all spirits," it actually has some basis in reality:

When he was refining the Yin-Yang Fire, he used Yin-Yang and Five Elements spiritual materials to temper it into Yin-Yang and Five Elements spiritual essence and Yin-Yang and Five Elements spiritual nature.
Therefore, his own Dao foundation inherently contains a considerable amount of the power of the Five Elements!
In the subsequent process of collecting "Spirit of All Spirits", the step of collecting "Spirit" among the Five Elements spiritual materials can be omitted, saving a lot of effort.

All things considered, Zhao Yun's cultivation of the "Innate Yellow Sprout Seed" requires far less effort from the "soil" needed by other cultivators.

But even if it's the easiest way, the journey of "traveling ten thousand miles, crossing ten thousand mountains, and seeing ten thousand rivers," and the various insights gained from witnessing the rise and fall of people and things in different worlds, are still essential paths that cannot be skipped.

After all, no matter how numerous or powerful the myriad spirits are, they cannot replace the cultivator's own understanding.

Moreover, cultivation is an extremely personal matter. When refining the spirits of all beings, one must take one's own "spirit" as the guide in order to integrate the external spirituality with one's own Dao foundation.

While one's own spirituality is naturally nurtured by the soul, directly extracting spirituality from the soul to dominate it, though seemingly mysterious, damages the very foundation of one's own being and is by no means a wise move.

Moreover, during cultivation, one often experiences insights, undergoes a transformation of mindset, and experiences various breakthroughs in spiritual realms.

This journey to gather the essence of all things is a perfect opportunity to extract the spirituality contained within these inspirations and use it for my own purposes.

It's not worth forcibly refining that immature, perfect true spirit deep within one's soul just for a little bit of one's own spirit!

Moreover, such an approach would severely damage the soul and the foundation of the true spirit, making it a losing proposition...

After pondering this in his heart, Zhao Yun put his idea into practice.
He spent the next two days busy in the medicine storehouse.
Moreover, when faced with those spiritual herbs in the storehouse, radiating a spiritual light and precious medicines imbued with the essence of a thousand years of Dao, they only carefully extracted a trace of their spiritual essence.
This restrained extraction of even a trace of spiritual energy from the medicinal herbs is sufficient to meet the diverse requirements of the "soil" needed for the growth of the "Innate Yellow Sprout Seed," so there is no need to collect too much.

At the same time, the damage caused to these precious medicines by collecting such a small amount of "spirit of all things" is almost imperceptible.

In this way, no major chaos will occur within the treasure trove, and there will be no need to worry about giving anyone leverage against us, thus avoiding unnecessary trouble. (End of Chapter)
