Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

But it's okay.

He never intended to pass it all down.

The True Techniques of a Hundred Beasts have already been spread through the Hundred Beasts Foundation Building Pill.

He planned to pass on the Heavenly Heart Technique only to people within the market and to cultivators who had taken the Hundred Beast Foundation Building Pill and were willing to join Cangyun Mountain.

Firstly, it will make them more loyal.

Secondly, it can also "attract" cultivators who have taken Foundation Establishment Pills to come and join us.

He doesn't intend to pass on the Spirit Body of a Hundred Beasts.

It's too difficult and requires a huge amount of resources.

Transforming a low-grade Dao Foundation into a mid-grade Dao Foundation using first-tier demonic beast essence blood is relatively straightforward, but transforming a mid-grade Dao Foundation into a high-grade Dao Foundation requires a large amount of second-tier demonic beast essence blood.

Even if one goes back to collect resources after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the consumption is enormous, and ordinary people really can't achieve it.

Forcing yourself to practice when you can't master it can easily lead to qi deviation and demonic possession.

But he needs it himself.

He doesn't need to refine the essence of demonic beasts, nor does he need to cultivate this technique.

He created the technique himself, and it was already perfected when he created it.

He only needs to apply the principles of these three techniques to his Five Sacred Mountains Spirit Body—

Tempering the spiritual body using the methods of the Hundred Beasts True Technique,

The Five Sacred Mountains were stabilized using the Heavenly Heart Technique.

The method of using the spiritual bodies of all beasts is used to elevate and repair one's foundation.

As the cycle continues, the Five Sacred Mountains Spiritual Body can be sublimated once again, truly achieving the Five Elements Reincarnation, endlessly regenerating, comparable to the true Five Elements Spiritual Body's innate magical abilities.

Once you reach this stage, the foundation you've built up over this stage will be sufficient for Core Formation.

He wasn't jealous at all. There's no way someone could achieve the top-tier Five Elements Spiritual Body with a massive amount of 100,000 contribution points during Qi Refining!

Lin Zhao sat for three days, going through the deduced cultivation method three times from beginning to end.

After confirming that everything was correct, he opened his eyes.

It was already dark outside the window, and the garrison was quiet.

He suddenly remembered Yan Chiheng.

That guy should be in Dingfeng Plain by now, right? I wonder if he's using the Forbidden God Disc smoothly, and how difficult those Tribulation Cultivators are to deal with.

I wonder if he'll come back and start clamoring to have a competition with me again.

Lin Zhao's lips curled up slightly.

Once it's fully completed, if there's an opportunity, we can let him see the sublimated Five Sacred Mountains Spirit Body talent spell, which will be called "Five Sacred Mountains Divine Ring".

The Five Elements Spirit Body's innate spell, "Five Elements Divine Ring," is said to be invulnerable to all spells once cultivated to the peak of the Core Formation stage; it is a great supernatural power at the Nascent Soul level.

His Five Sacred Mountains Divine Rings, once cultivated to their peak, can suppress everything with the power of the Five Sacred Mountains, and may very well become a great supernatural being in the future.

Of course, that's still a long way off, there's no rush now.

His cultivation technique is still in its early stages and needs further refinement. It will also take considerable time for his spiritual body to undergo another transformation.

and--

He looked out the window.

The lights of the market town twinkled, illuminating half the sky.

How many people will be attracted to the three Hundred Beast Foundation Building Pills at next year's auction?

Of those people, how many will stay?

How many people, while cultivating the Hundred Beasts True Technique, discover that they cannot suppress their animalistic nature and then seek the Heavenly Heart Technique?

Lin Zhao withdrew her gaze and gently exhaled.

Who knows what will happen in the future?

He just had a vague premonition—

This set of techniques might go further than he imagined.

If someone were to successfully cultivate it, it would likely be comparable to a third-tier Core Formation technique.

---

In the front hall of the garrison, Elder He was on duty.

"Old He."

He turned around and saw Lin Zhao walking out of the garrison headquarters.

"guard."

Lin Zhao walked up to him, took out a jade slip from his sleeve, and handed it to Elder He.

Old He was taken aback: "This is...?"

"The Heavenly Heart Technique," Lin Zhao said, "is specifically designed to suppress bestial instincts. Once you reach the third level, your grandson won't need to use the Tranquility Talisman anymore."

Old He took the jade slip, his hands trembling slightly.

"This...this is for me?"

"Hmm." Lin Zhao turned and walked back. "Everyone inside the market can cultivate."

Old He held the jade slip, standing there, watching Lin Zhao's figure disappear at the gate of the garrison.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

In the end, he simply bowed deeply to the door.

What Lin Zhao didn't know was that after these two martial arts techniques were spread...

Sometime in the future,

Someone will come to the garrison.

He has mastered the Hundred Beasts True Technique and the Heavenly Heart Technique.

He sought to become Lin Zhao's disciple and at the same time asked for the third secret technique.

Sometime in the distant future, this complete cultivation technique will lead to the destruction of a certain Core Formation family—but that's a long time from now.

Dingfeng Plain is extremely vast, stretching for thousands of miles, and has tens of thousands of Tribulation Cultivators, including dozens of Tribulation Cultivator teams with Foundation Establishment cultivators in charge.

Most of them consist of one or two people, but there are seven major tribulation cultivator teams, which are the most powerful, each with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge.

Yan Chiheng stood on a low hill, gazing at a range of undulating mountains ahead.

Dingfengyuan is indeed a rather eerie place.

The sky was overcast, the clouds hung low, and a faint sense of oppression permeated the air.

It felt like something was falling down invisibly, making it hard to breathe.

He tried to circulate his spiritual power, lifting his toes three feet off the ground.

It's alright, but the energy consumption is twice as much as usual.

"This godforsaken place," he muttered, landing back on the ground.

Dingfeng Plain is 70% plain and 30% hills and caves.

Its most distinctive feature is its natural environment—those below the Foundation Establishment stage cannot fly, and even those at the Foundation Establishment stage find flying difficult.

According to the ancestors here, there was a rare mineral vein here thousands of years ago. It has long been mined out, but the effects are still there and have not dissipated even after thousands of years.

What's troublesome for others is fine for him.

Thunder, a form of spiritual power, is inherently violent and represents a part of the divine might; those with a thunder spirit root also have strong resistance to it.

Although the consumption of spiritual energy is also high, it is still half that of others.

He waited there for a moment, and a figure crept out from the pile of rocks in the distance.

He An.

Old He's grandson was the one who took the Hundred Beasts Foundation Building Pill.

Several months passed, and his aura had stabilized. He led more than ten people from the market to join this group of traitors.

At this moment, he used a secret technique to suppress his cultivation at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he was wearing a tattered gray robe.

"Senior Yan," He An leaned closer and lowered his voice, "I've figured it out. That village ahead is Blood Blade Village."

The leader is in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and he has five subordinates in the early Foundation Establishment stage, along with over a thousand Qi Refining Tribulation cultivators.

There are also tens of thousands of ordinary people imprisoned, all of whom were plundered from various places and used as servants, treated like cattle and horses.

Yan Chiheng squinted and looked into the distance.

There was indeed a building in the valley, and the faint glow of the array could be seen.

"Where is the formation?"

"Second-tier, mid-grade." He An smiled slightly. "But I stayed inside for three months and figured out where the formation was set up and where the core of the formation was."

Yan Chiheng glanced at him.

This kid is good; he's suited for this line of work.

"The outer Qi Refining cultivators are yours."

Yan Chiheng said, "I'll handle the six Foundation Establishment cultivators. You're in charge of blocking those Qi cultivators and preventing them from coming in and causing trouble. Also, protect those mortals as much as possible."

He An paused for a moment, but quickly nodded in agreement.

He has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so Qi Refining cultivators are nothing in front of him. Moreover, his grandfather gave him two second-tier magic artifacts for protection.

Yan Chiheng said no more, and with a flash, he skimmed along the ground towards the mountain valley.

He An took a deep breath, turned in another direction, and headed towards the outskirts of the village.

The Black Wind Stronghold's formation was indeed impressive, with spiritual light flowing around it, completely enveloping the entire mountain valley.

With He An's guidance, Yan Chiheng easily found the weak point in the formation, and with a swift movement, he passed through it.

The sight in the village made him frown.

The outermost perimeter was a makeshift shack, crammed together with ragged people—the elderly, women, and children, their eyes numb and their bodies emaciated.
