Chapter Sixteen: Laying the Foundation for Success (2)
"It's all thanks to Master's teachings." Chang Sheng scratched his head and smiled.
"Hey kiddo, no need to flatter. Are you eager to start practicing the 'Swallowing Heaven Golden Body Technique'?" Yan Long patted Chang Sheng's head and said warmly.
Chang Sheng hastily nodded, his eyes burning with an unusual intensity. Yan Long stood up and smiled: "Then follow me." As soon as he finished speaking, he walked into the room, Chang Sheng hastily following behind him.
Following Yan Long's orders, Chang Sheng placed the giant sword along with its scabbard to one side, then quickly took off the Xuan Tie inner armor. He sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at Yan Long, waiting for further instructions.
Yan Long took out two porcelain bottles from the Qian Kun bag, one white and one green. He handed them over to Chang Sheng, saying in a low voice: "The white porcelain bottle contains the Ben Yuan Dan, and the green porcelain bottle contains the Qi Dan. Both types of elixirs contain a large amount of heavenly energy. From now on, you will take both elixirs together and circulate the first layer of the foundation-building exercise. Refine the elixirs until their effects disappear, then continue to eat them until they are gone."
Changsheng nodded, indicating that he understood. Then, he first poured out a green pill from the porcelain bottle containing the solid foundation cultivation pill, and then poured out a white pill from the porcelain bottle containing the Qi-increasing pill. At the same time, he put them in his mouth, and as soon as the pills entered his mouth, they dissolved and flowed down his throat into the Dan Tian Qi Hai.
According to the memories in his mind, Changsheng knew that the "Swallowing Heaven Golden Body Technique" was divided into four levels of realm, corresponding to the four grades of spiritual artifacts.
First Layer: Foundation Building! Before cultivating, one must temper their body with the "Tempering Technique" for a year. Cultivation can begin after that. During cultivation, one can directly consume Spirit Pills, Spirit Medicine, and Spirit Materials to accelerate foundation building time. As long as there are sufficient Spirit Pills, Spirit Medicine, and Spirit Materials, the speed of cultivation will be incredibly fast.
The second layer: Proliferation of attributes! The true Qi in the Dan Tian and Qi Hai transforms into the True Yuan Dan, without shape or color. It can proliferate any attribute, and can be combined with or assist any attribute gong fa cultivation.
Third Layer: Unity of Body and Spirit! Three Souls Converge, Seven Spirits Interconnected. Forming the Soul Pearl, Unity of Body and Spirit.
Fourth layer: Great Tao Golden Body! Verify the Great Tao and cast a golden body.
According to the annotation of the first layer, Changsheng learned that this first layer is the initial tempering and strengthening of bones, and it is also the most basic part. To cultivate this first layer, one needs at least a low-grade spiritual elixir or spiritual medicine, spiritual elixir, or spiritual material that is over 500 years old. Such as 500-year-old Radix Salviae, 500-year-old He Shou Wu, Iron Tree Spirit Heart and so on...
As mentioned above, to cultivate to the first layer of perfection, one must take either the Thousand Pearl Five Hundred Year Spirit Medicine or the Thousand Grain Lower Grade Spirit Pill. These two conditions have stumped most cultivators. Even a large sect like Huoyun Sect can't even cultivate a hundred people! Let alone individual cultivators!
Although the Azure Cloud Continent has countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it is indeed the golden age of cultivation. However, no matter how many spiritual materials there are, they will eventually be used up. Imagine if the Azure Cloud Continent were to have not even a hint of spiritual energy, spiritual materials, spiritual beasts, or spiritual medicine left... would cultivators still exist?!
