Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 160 Cultivation
Li Zhen came to the demon kingdom through a space crack. He found a place where no one would disturb him and sat cross-legged.

This was his first time practicing the 'Butterfly Transformation Technique'. The reason why he chose the Aoki University Fortress to practice this spiritual technique was that if anything went wrong, he could just send out a distress signal and the real people here would be able to provide rescue.

Aoki University is a top university, and talented students like him are highly valued, which is also a kind of background.

And the better his performance, the more attention Aoki University will pay to him.

The first step of the "Butterfly Transformation Technique" is to shrink your spirit into a point, and then use the cocoon made of spiritual silk to wrap up the spirit that has been reduced to a point.

This first step alone is extremely difficult. Contracting the mind into a point is already a high-level control of the mind.

The 'Butterfly Transformation and Conservation Technique' has a detailed method, but it is just a method and the difficulty is still quite high.

Li Zhen contracted his spirit, which was very easy at first, but after contracting to a certain extent, every bit of compression became extremely difficult.

The contraction of his spirit made his brain confused. If it were not for the cool feeling coming from the 'Jingchen Qingling Pendant' from time to time, which allowed him to barely maintain a trace of sanity, he would not be able to achieve the first step of learning the 'Butterfly Transformation Technique'.

In fact, it is extremely difficult to practice any kind of spiritual cultivation technique. Even the technological level of the fairyland cannot provide much help when it comes to the spirit.

Everyone's spirit is different, which makes spiritual research difficult, and the results achieved will only be effective for individuals.

After an unknown amount of time, his spirit was compressed into a small ball, and some of it turned into a thin thread.

The filaments continued to rotate around the small spiritual ball, and soon a spiritual cocoon like a worm cocoon appeared.

Li Zhen sat cross-legged. His state at the moment was extremely strange. It seemed that all his mind and spirit were absorbed into the mental cocoon, and the mental ball in the mental cocoon was wriggling slightly as if it had life.

It is impossible to imagine how he felt at this moment, his spirit had grown subtly in this state.

An hour later, he could no longer maintain this state, his mental cocoon broke open, and the compressed spirit inside was released.

The 'Butterfly Transformation and Conservation of Mind' is only the initial part of the practice. This is all that can be practiced in the middle stage of Qi training. If you want to transform the mental cocoon into a butterfly, you need to practice it in the late stage of Qi training.

He sensed it. Although he could not make the identity bracelet provide mental data information, his perception of his own spirit made him clear that his spirit had indeed grown.

The spiritual growth is very small, but if a cultivator wants to improve his spirit, the only chance for improvement in the past was after breaking through the realm, when the new realm would lead to a spiritual improvement when the body was comprehensively improved.

But now it's different, this time it's his spirit that's improving actively, as long as he persists in practicing the 'Butterfly Transformation and Conservation Technique', his spirit will continue to improve.

He stood up on the spot and accepted a hunting mission first. Then he soared into the air and he felt that his control over his body had improved slightly.

Only a slight increase in his spirit power led to an improvement in his sense of control over flight, which made him pay more attention to the cultivation of his spirit.

"I still need to find a method to fly, but the flying method for the second level of body training may be hard to find!" Li Zhen thought to himself.

It's not that he doesn't have a way to fly. The flying speed of 'Lightning Film Technique' is definitely top-notch, but the problem is that this secret flying method cannot be used for normal flying, mainly because it consumes too much energy.

He lacked a method of normal flying, and it was not his fault, as he had just entered university and did not have a complete plan for himself.

For example, many college students will, based on their own conditions, purposefully exchange skills and secret techniques in school, and use a period of time to fully utilize their own advantages. This is the normal growth path for college students.

Li Zhen is different. He does not have a clear path for his own planning. It is not that he does not want to plan for himself, but that he cannot give himself an accurate positioning.

For example, his spiritual root talent. Before, he only had a medium-grade spiritual root talent, but later he had a high-grade spiritual root talent, and now his five elements of spiritual root talent are integrated into one, making his spiritual root talent no lower than that of the earth spiritual root.

This is still the change and improvement in his spiritual talent. If he makes a growth plan for himself during one of these periods, then this growth plan will soon be useless.

In terms of body refining, although he has only just entered the second level of body refining, the lack of second-level metal has almost stagnated the practice of "bronze body", but as long as he is given a chance to obtain the flesh and blood of third-level monsters, he can almost guarantee that his body refining skills will explode in a short period of time. It is for these reasons that he will not make plans for himself, and his future has unlimited possibilities.

After flying away from the fortress, he controlled a mid-grade flying sword and flew towards the destination of the hunting mission.

Since he has the spiritual weapon 'Hundred Flowers Flying Blade', he needs to strengthen his control over the flying sword.

After flying for a distance, he landed on the ground, and then he had to be careful of sneak attacks from powerful monsters.

A first-stage late-stage spirit monkey hiding on a tree branch stared at Li Zhen when Li Zhen intentionally restrained his second-level body refining aura.

The monkey threw a stone at him. Although it was an ordinary stone, the monkey had a special ability that could add evil spirit to the stone, making the stone have the same attack power as a cultivator's magic weapon.

When the stone was ten meters away from Li Zhen, a medium-grade flying sword intercepted the stone, but the sword was bounced away in an instant.

The speed of the stone slowed down a little, but it still flew towards Li Zhen.

Li Zhen tapped his fingers lightly, and the middle-grade flying sword made a thunderous sound, then disappeared. Then the flying sword slashed on the stone. This time the stone could no longer hold on and was chopped into pieces by the flying sword.

He shook his head slightly. Even though the flying sword successfully dealt with the stone, his ability in Qi training was indeed disappointing.

It was still very difficult for a sixth-level Qi training warrior to fight against a first-stage late-stage monster. A casual attack from the spirit monkey made him use the "Sword Qi and Thunder Sound" technique.

The middle-grade flying sword changed direction and flew towards the monkey. The 'Sword Qi and Thunder Sound' was activated once again. The monkey waved his hands to try to stop the flying sword from approaching, but the 'Sword Qi and Thunder Sound' was not so easy to defend against.

There were several shallow wounds on the monkey's body. It was not easy for a medium-grade flying sword plus the power of "Sword Qi and Thunder Sound" to cause damage to the first-stage late-stage monkey.

The monkey is known for its agility, but defense is not its strong point. If it faces a late-stage first-level monster that is good at defense, a mid-grade flying sword will not even be able to break through its defense.

Li Zhen didn't really want to kill the monkey. He used it as a tool to sharpen his flying sword.

This method of training flying sword control ability is probably something that only he can perform.

If an ordinary Qi-cultivating cultivator dares to do this, but makes a mistake and is approached by the spirit monkey, it will not just be a matter of training, but his own life will be in danger.

The monkey howled in anger continuously. It was enraged by the provocation of the flying sword. It also wanted to deal with Li Zhen first, but the problem was that no matter how fast it was, it could not be faster than the flying sword under the "Sword Qi and Thunder Sound".

Li Zhen is now at the sixth level of Qi training, and "Sword Qi Thunder Sound" can barely be considered a conventional method.

Through repeated use of the 'Sword Qi and Thunder Sound', he became more and more proficient in transforming the 'Sword Qi and Thunder Sound' of his close-range sword into the 'Sword Qi and Thunder Sound' of his flying sword.

It was not until most of the spiritual energy in his body was consumed that he retracted the mid-grade flying sword.

The monkey finally found an opportunity. It rushed to Li Zhen with a howl and grabbed Li Zhen with its sharp claws.

Li Zhen casually clapped his hands, and the aura of the second level of body refining was revealed. With a "bang", the monkey was slapped away ten meters and fell heavily on the ground.

Before the monkey died, it looked at Li Zhen with a look of unwillingness. If it could speak, it would probably call Li Zhen "sixth brother".

For a cultivator of the second stage of physical cultivation, what fun is there in teasing a first-stage late-stage demon beast?

Li Zhen was very satisfied. He had found a way to practice flying sword. Just one battle improved his control over the flying sword a lot. If he practiced alone, two or three months of practice would not be as good as what he gained from this battle.

He lavishly took out a first-grade premium spiritual tea and brewed a cup of it with first-grade premium spiritual spring water, using this method to quickly replenish his consumed spiritual power.
