Starting with Taoist priests from Maoshan to cultivate immortality

Young warriors from all races rushed forward, trying to snatch the Earth Vein Spirit Milk from Jiang Yu's mouth, even if it meant getting a little bit of it.

Laoshan angrily rebuked:

"Stop it, all of you!"

"My brother deserved to consume the Earth Vein Elixir; don't do such despicable things!"

Together with Huang Chuan and several other young warriors of the Weasel Clan, it drove back the monsters that charged at it.

Seeing this, the spiker and the armor-piercing spiker nodded in approval.

"Brother Shu, after a few years of experience, Laoshan has become much more mature and composed. He is fully capable of taking over your position in the future."

Lao Shu never expected that his usually unreliable son would show such responsibility at such a crucial moment.

It nodded heavily, its eyes slightly red:

"After three years of training, it has indeed grown up."

After blocking the others, Laoshan leaned in to kiss Jiang Yu's lips and chuckled:

"They can't, but I can!"

"What's mine is my brother's!"

It is currently at a bottleneck, and it can break through even if it absorbs one-tenth of the essence of the earth vein spirit milk.

Laoshu, who had just finished praising it, froze on the spot upon seeing this scene.

The two players, Spike and Armor Piercer, exchanged a glance and tacitly turned their faces away.

Veins bulged on Laoshu's forehead. He picked up a stone and threw it violently, cursing:

"You good-for-nothing, get out of my way!"

call out!

Boom!

A stone the size of an adult's fist flew in an arc and landed precisely on the top of Laoshan Mountain, creating a long, large bulge.

Laoshan Mountain slowly sank into the clear-turbid pool, and the young soldiers from various ethnic groups who witnessed this scene wore expressions of schadenfreude.

"Serves you right!"

"He's deliberately acting all serious, but actually he wants to hog everything! Pshaw!"

The three clan leaders, including Laoshu, gave the following order:

"You all hurry up and continue your cultivation, and do not disturb young friend Jiang!"

The young people in their tribe have such poor self-control. Luckily, there were no outsiders around, otherwise they would have lost all face.

It's not that they don't envy it, but rather that they know that once the Earth Vein Elixir is consumed, there is no possibility of reversal.

Some things you just missed.

……

Jiang Yu was at a crucial moment in his cultivation, and his divine sense was constantly keeping an eye on the outside world.

As a cultivator, one must always remain absolutely vigilant, especially at crucial moments of breakthrough.

Therefore, when Laoshan approached his lips, the Heavenly Thunder Pestle was already present beside him.

If it gets just two centimeters closer, the raging lightning will scorch it to a crisp.

Without any disturbance, Jiang Yu continued his attempt to break through to the next realm.

His brow furrowed, and he thought to himself:

"No, this drop of Earth Vein Elixir seems to be more potent than the one I took last time."

Jiang Yu felt the spiritual energy continuously spreading outward from his body, forming a tiny ball of spiritual energy that isolated the surrounding pool water.

The other monsters, sensing this change, looked surprised:

"What's going on?"

"Why do I feel like my comprehension has increased?"

"Yes, my mind is completely clear now!"

Other monsters echoed this.

Although they didn't know why, they knew that such an opportunity was fleeting, so they immediately sat in a circle around Jiang Yu and seized the moment to comprehend it.

The spiritual energy from the Clear and Turbid Pool had already helped them improve their cultivation. This glimmer of spiritual light seemed to ignite a fuse, causing many young monsters to break through their cultivation levels on the spot.

The three demons of Laoshu outside the cave were shocked to see this scene.

The King of Spikes' eyes widened:

"How is this possible?"

"The Earth Vein Elixir has such great effects?"

Although it had heard of the name of the Earth Vein Spirit Milk, it had never seen it, so it had to ask Laoshu.

Lao Shu frowned, then relaxed, his expression turning to shock:

"Could it be... the essence of the earth?"

The armor-piercing cone asked in confusion:

What is the Earth's Essence?

"We've lived for decades, and we've never even heard of this name."

Lao Shu gasped, staggered, and after a while regained his balance, slowly said:

"You should know that the Earth Vein Essence Milk is the sap formed from the earth's spiritual veins. Just one drop can cleanse the marrow and reshape the foundation."

"If I'm not mistaken, what Young Friend Jiang consumed wasn't ordinary Earth Vein Spirit Milk, but rather Earth Vein Spirit Essence."

"I should have realized it sooner. Its behavior in the Clear and Turbid Pool was like that of a living creature, definitely not an ordinary one."

The armor-piercing cone frowned even more deeply:

"But what does this have to do with the Earth's Essence?"

Laoshu glanced at it and continued:

"I was just about to say that if the Earth Vein Essence merges with another Earth Vein Essence Milk, it will create a higher level of existence—the Earth Source Marrow."

"It will thoroughly cleanse and reshape the user's body, transforming both their physical body and soul, and even leading them to the legendary innate Dao body."

"Once successful, the stability of its foundation will be unmatched among its peers."

"This kind of thing is extremely rare and only exists in legends. No one has ever actually obtained it. We've really had our eyes opened today because we've encountered it."

After hearing Laoshu's description, the Spiky King and the Armor Piercing Cone were dumbfounded:

"This is absolutely incredible!"

"Unbeknownst to us, we have witnessed history."

Armor-piercing spiker scratched his head and said:

"Wait, where did this second piece of ley line spirit milk come from?"

"I looked it over and over, and there's only one."

Laoshu explained:

"This young man has caught the eye of my clan leader, who bestowed upon him a piece of earth vein spirit milk."

"Because Qingzhuotan has only produced one in nearly fifty years, and it is in his hands."

The two demons understood and sighed:

"Chief Huangshan truly has a discerning eye!"

In the pool, clear or murky.

Jiang Yu did not notice the change in the three demons' expressions.

He only felt a dark golden crystal the size of a soybean growing in his dantian, with mysterious yellow energy circulating inside.

Although it was only a small one, it was as heavy as a small mountain, and the continuous spiritual energy strengthened his body.

boom!

With a soft sound, spiritual energy was continuously drawn down, clearing all the meridians in his body, and a sea of ​​spiritual mist formed—Jiang Yu's cultivation had broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

He felt his mana core strengthen again, and he could now cast lower-level spells instantly and repeatedly.

Everything within five meters was clearly displayed in his mind; he could see every drop of water and the texture of a stone.

Jiang Yu's heart stirred slightly:

"Is this what divine consciousness is?"

"It's truly amazing."

After awakening his divine consciousness, Jiang Yu gained the ability to see inside his body.

He can see the operating status of his own dantian, meridians, and internal organs, which can be used to check his cultivation status, discover hidden injuries, and guide the flow of spiritual energy.

Moreover, it can also be used for combat assistance, or for the deduction of cultivation techniques, alchemy, and talisman making.

It can be said to be one of the most important abilities for cultivators.

Jiang Yu introspectively said:

"In this way, I can draw a mid-grade talisman in just ten minutes, and I can even try to make high-grade talismans."

The book "True Explanation of Maoshan Taoist Arts" that he obtained from his master contains a large number of rare talismans that can enhance his strength, but his cultivation level is not high enough, so he has always been itching to acquire them.

He thought to himself:

"I didn't expect to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining so smoothly this time. It seems to be all thanks to this thing in my body, although I don't know what it is."

He broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining with less than one-tenth of his power.

Boom!

Jiang Yu's body trembled violently, and the dark golden crystal continued to spin.

Jiang Yu felt waves of mountain-like power surging within his body, and a surge of spiritual energy violently impacting his meridians.

Jiang Yu was shocked:

"Does this mean I'm supposed to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining?"

In just a few days, he went from an insignificant cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining to the middle level of Qi Refining.

Although insignificant compared to the top geniuses of this world, he is definitely a genius in Guobei County.

Jiang Yu entered a state of cultivation once again.

"Since the die is cast, I will do everything in my power to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining."

"If I don't do this, I'm afraid I'll explode and die from the surge of spiritual energy."

Jiang Yu thought.

The sixth level of Qi Refining is the peak of the mid-stage of Qi Refining. It requires further compression and condensation of the accumulated sea of ​​spiritual mist to create a true essence core in preparation for breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

He activated the Upper Qi Clarity Technique, gradually compressing and solidifying the loose sea of ​​spiritual mist.

But each attempt failed, and the foundation remained unstable.

Jiang Yu is now in a dilemma.

On one side is the ever-surging spiritual energy, and on the other side is the still unstable foundation. If he does not control it well, he will fall into an abyss of no return.

Jiang Yu frowned slightly:

"Am I going to suffocate from the spiritual mist?"

"Who would believe that if I told them?"

"etc!"

Jiang Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution:

"Since this dark golden crystal is so restless, why can't I turn the tables and harness its power?"

Jiang Yu focused his energy on his dantian, using his divine sense to attract the spiritual mist in his sea of ​​qi, and to wrap it around the essence core the size of a soybean.

It forms a high-speed rotating vortex.

At the center of the vortex, the spiritual mist began to condense into liquid droplets.

Jiang Yu carefully gathered them together to prevent them from scattering.

Fortunately, the impact he had experienced earlier had strengthened the connections between his meridians.

Although there was a slight throbbing pain at first, there was a feeling of relief and comfort after the blockage was cleared.

Half an hour later, when the last meridian was opened and the body's magical power circulated throughout the body for a complete cycle, a constantly rotating, semi-transparent, egg-sized mist core began to slowly condense.

Outside, everyone was captivated by the changes in Jiang Yu's body.

Standing at the highest point, the spiky ball reigns supreme:

"He's leveled up twice in a row! This young man has actually broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining. The effect of the Earth Source Marrow is terrifying."

Armor-piercing drill frowned and said:

"But can he maintain his mental fortitude with such rapid leveling up?"

"This world is full of rare and precious materials that can rapidly increase one's cultivation level, but under normal circumstances, few people use them continuously. Once the foundation is unstable, it will damage one's future cultivation potential and may prevent one from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Even with the Foundation Establishment Pill, the effect will be greatly reduced."

Laoshu shook his head and said:

"To be honest, I don't know either."

"However, since he is favored by the Huangshan clan chief, he must have many extraordinary qualities and may be able to create miracles."

Jiang Yu frowned, and a wisp of red gas appeared in his dantian, enveloping the condensed mist core.

Boom!

His true essence core suddenly went out of control and shattered his meridians, causing him to lose all his cultivation and revert to being an ordinary person.

"No!"

Jiang Yu roared loudly.

hum!

Suddenly, a surge of pure and refreshing energy entered Jiang Yu's body.

He regained control of his body.

It turned out that his inner demons had stirred up his deepest fears.

Fortunately, the existence of merit allowed him to recover from the illusion in time.

Jiang Yu thought:

"We must never make such a rash breakthrough again in the future."

"We must lay a solid foundation and accumulate enough experience before making a breakthrough."

After recovering, Jiang Yu continued his breathing exercises to condense a mist core.

The three demons on the stage looked surprised when they saw Jiang Yu's transformation:

"what?"

"His inner demons have passed so quickly, that's incredible!"

Half an hour later, the spiritual energy of the dark golden crystal was completely exhausted.

At the center of the vortex, a point of condensed light, as dazzling as a star, suddenly lit up, and all the spiritual mist seemed to have a backbone, attaching itself to it in an orderly manner.

Where Jiang Yu sat cross-legged, an invisible wave of energy continuously radiated outwards, and his bones emitted a series of crisp, dense crackling sounds, like thunder.

The moment Jiang Yu opened his eyes, a tangible golden light flashed in his pupils. The young demons watching around him felt a jolt of fear and involuntarily slumped into the pool.

Jiang Yu stood up and clenched his fists:

"Sixth level of Qi Refining, done!"

Overnight, he broke through two minor realms in succession.

His spiritual power and endurance underwent a qualitative change, and his spiritual energy recovery speed increased by more than 50%.

Now, if Jiang Yu uses the Thunder Pestle, he can use his ultimate move three times in a row, and he can recover in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

At the same time, the range of his divine sense expanded again, reaching fifteen meters.

The slight pressure released caused a sense of shock among the surrounding monsters.

Laoshan, who had been knocked unconscious, has regained consciousness.

It stared wide-eyed at Jiang Yu and said:

"Brother, you... are still a little bit behind me."

Despite being utterly humiliated in terms of actual strength, it couldn't afford to be lacking in verbal skills.

This time, Laoshan also rose from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the sixth level, but it took him many years to accumulate enough to break through, unlike Jiang Yu who rose two levels in a row.

Jiang Yu smiled and said:

"You're really amazing. I'd like to ask you for some cultivation tips when I have time."

Hearing Jiang Yu's words, even the thick-skinned Lao Shan was too embarrassed to continue, and replied perfunctorily:

"Maybe another time."

This time, the other monsters ignored Laoshan's boastful words, focusing instead on cultivating while enjoying the afterglow of Jiang Yu's breakthrough.

It was now the beginning of Chen Shi (7-9 AM). Three golden copper coins linked together flashed before Jiang Yu's eyes, and lines of small characters appeared, indicating that today's tasks had been refreshed.

"Dangerous Mission [Catch the Demon and Exterminate Evil]: Slay the traitor, the Round Sphere King."

"Ultimate Mission [Worldly Affairs]: Lead the demons to escape from danger."

"Daily Task [Do a Good Deed]: Rescue the King of Spikes".

After reading the above information, Jiang Yu frowned deeply:

"Strange, why did the Heavenly Mandate Token release completely conflicting information this time?"

He glanced at the lively, energetic King of Spikes beside him:

"Wasn't its younger brother, King Round Ball, under control?"

"Could it be that it's going to come out and assassinate the Spiky King later?"

Whoosh!

Just then, a thick yellow-green smoke shot into the sky, and they could smell the strong odor even from the clear and turbid pool.

At this moment, a high-ranking member of the weasel tribe came to report:

"Vice Chieftain, something terrible has happened! The Poisonous Forest has been set on fire!"

Our entire Shuangdao Village has been affected; please make plans quickly!
