Natal Artifacts and Natal Spells
After Ling Yunhong left, Ling Pengyun looked at the Azure Sea True Scripture in his hand, his eyes shining brightly, yet also mixed with a trace of doubt.
"I never imagined that this Cultivation Method had such a background. I wonder how my ancestor, who was only at the peak of Qi Training Completion Refining more than two hundred years ago, obtained this Cultivation Method."
Cultivation Method that can lead directly to the Golden Core stage are treasures of major sects and forces. Not to mention the entire territory of the Hundred Spirits Sect, even in the major markets of the entire Yan Kingdom, no Golden Core Cultivation Method has ever appeared.
Even if they did exist, they would inevitably be intercepted by the major Golden Core sects of the Yan Kingdom.
Even if the Azure Sea True Scripture possessed by the Ling Clan is only an incomplete Cultivation Method, it can still support cultivators to reach the Foundation Establishment Completion.
Such Cultivation Method is so Qi Refining that even established Foundation Establishment Family Cultivation Method not be able to obtain it, let alone Qi Higher Vehicle Foundation Establishment.
Unable to find a solution, Ling Pengyun could only attribute the matter to the extraordinary fortuitous opportunity of his ancestor.
Coming to his senses, Ling Pengyun didn't linger any longer and quickly flipped through the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment stage of the Azure Sea True Scripture in his hand.
Because of his powerful Divine Sense sense, his memory was also amplified, far exceeding that of ordinary people.
In less than an hour, he had memorized all the Spiritual Energy Circulation Route recorded in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment chapter.
However, this Azure Sea True Scripture not only records the operational route of the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, but also records the methods for refining three Lifebound Magic Item that originated from the same source as the Cultivation Method, as well as a Innate Spell.
The three Lifebound Magic Item were the Azure Sea Icy Cold Sword, the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Pearl, and the Azure Sea Magic Shield.
The Azure Sea Icy Cold Sword must be forged primarily from ice that is a hundred years old. Once forged, the sword is incredibly powerful and also possesses an icy Sword Qi. The better the materials used in its forging, the stronger its power.
The Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Pearl requires a hundred catties of Mystic Yuan Heavy Iron as the main material to be refined. After being refined, the pearl can weigh at least ten thousand catties. The better and higher the grade of the materials used to refine the pearl, the heavier the pearl will be and the stronger its power will be.
The Azure Sea Magic Shield is also made primarily of Mystic Yuan Heavy Iron, but it requires less Profound Yuan Mystic Yuan Heavy Iron Mystic Yuan Heavy Iron to forge, only fifty catties.
Once forged, this shield can create a Azure Sea Light Barrier, providing extremely strong defense. Furthermore, the shield itself is incredibly sturdy; even if the light screen is broken, the shield can be used temporarily to block attacks.
Of course, in addition to the main materials, some first-tier Water Spirit Iron is also needed as auxiliary materials to refine these three Lifebound Magic Item.
These three magical Law Artifact are integrated with the Cultivation Method, and their power is 30% stronger than that of other Law Artifact of the same level.
Furthermore, all three magical Law Artifact can be stored in the Dantian and nurtured with spiritual energy to enhance their rank.
Hundred-Year Cold Iron is a second-tier spiritual material, containing a rich cold aura.
Mystic Yuan Heavy Iron is also a type of second-tier spirit iron, named for its weight. Even a piece of Mystic Yuan Heavy Iron the size of a fingernail weighs at least a hundred kilograms.
As for the Cultivation Method, the Innate Spell is called Azure Sea Law Technique Azure Sea Sky Sword, which is a purely offensive Law Technique.
It is formed by gathering the true essence of the Azure Sea, but gathering this Law Technique consumes a great deal of energy.
Of course, this Law Technique is also extremely powerful, far exceeding the power of Law Technique of the same level.
At the same time, because this Law Technique and the Cultivation Method practiced by cultivators are of the same origin, it is easier to comprehend than Law Technique of the same level.
After reading the descriptions of the three Lifebound Magic Item and one Innate Spell that came with this Cultivation Method, Ling Pengyun was filled with longing.
"Those three Lifebound Magic Item are powerful, and the auxiliary materials for refining them are easy to obtain, but the main materials required for refining them are extremely precious and probably rarely seen even in major markets."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to refine even one in a short period of time."
"The Azure Sea Sky Sword is easy to comprehend and powerful. I can start studying it after I consolidate my cultivation."
He closed the book and didn't linger there. He returned the book to the only bookshelf in the study, then left the study and walked to the door of the "Hundred Arts House," one of the three small houses in the same Cultivation Abode, which was equipped with Second Rank Low Grade Fire Gathering array.
Since Ling Yunhong was Pill Refining inside the small house, Ling Pengyun didn't want to disturb him.
However, leaving directly is not a good idea either.
He then took out a piece of white paper from his Storage Bag and used his spiritual power as a pen to write dozens of small characters on the note.
"Third Grandfather, I have memorized the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation Method of the Azure Sea True Scripture, so I will leave this place to consolidate my cultivation."
After writing these words, Ling Pengyun placed the note at the entrance of the "Hundred Arts House," stepped out of the Cultivation Abode, and returned to his own courtyard halfway up the mountain.
Two handfuls of Yellow Jade Spirit Rice were fed to the two Songhua Spirit Chicken that had not eaten anything for nearly ten days and had lost a lot of weight.
After observing Wind Shadow Peng, who was cultivating in a deep sleep, Ling Pengyun then entered the quiet room in the courtyard.
Upon entering the meditation room, he took out Meditation Mat from his Storage Bag, sat cross-legged on it, and closed his eyes to comprehend the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment the Azure Sea True Scripture that he had just memorized.
As for the news of his successful breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment, apart from Ling Yunhong, Ling Ruxian, and Ling Yunxi, no one else in the mountain knew about it.
Even if some people speculate that it is related to Ling Pengyun, it cannot be confirmed.
In addition, the Ling Clan clan is currently short of Early-Stage Qi Training or above have been sent out, and the Ling Clan clan members left in the mountains are either the elderly, the weak, or women and children.
These clansmen generally do not go out easily due to their physical condition, cultivation level, and other factors, and no outsiders come to the Ling Clan Mountain.
Under these circumstances, neither the speculations of the Ling Clan clan members in the Clan Mountain about Ling Pengxing and Ling Pengyun's Foundation Establishment achievements have been made public.
Of course, even if the other four Foundation Establishment Family of Huai River County found out, it wouldn't matter much.
At most, it will just become something others talk about.
After all, the Ling Clan is already struggling to manage its own Spirit Vein and is facing a shortage of manpower, so they have no intention of seizing Spirit Vein from other Lineage in the surrounding area.
There was no such thought, and Huai River County was extremely peaceful at the moment, with even minor conflicts between the Five Great Clans rarely occurring. So what was the point of deliberately concealing Ling Pengyun and Ling Pengxing's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment?
In just three days, Ling Pengyun had figured out the Spiritual Energy Circulation Route of the first layer of the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Azure Sea True Scripture, and he stopped trying to comprehend the circulation route.
The Spiritual Energy Circulation Route of the first layer of the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment the Azure Sea True Scripture is more than enough to support Ling Pengyun, who has just entered the Foundation Establishment, in stabilizing his cultivation and breaking through to the second layer of Foundation Establishment.
Then, he took out a bottle of second-tier lower-level Spirit Gathering Pill given to him by Ling Yunhong from his Storage Bag, poured out one Spirit Gathering Pill and put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and circulated his cultivation Cultivation Method to refine the medicinal power contained in the pill.
Once the medicinal power of this pill was refined, it released a vast amount of Spiritual Qi that filled Ling Pengyun's meridians.
Through Cultivation Method, this Spiritual Qi is refined into pure spiritual power within the meridians, then stably compressed into Liquid Spiritual Power and sent into the Dantian.
Three months later, with the help of three Spirit Gathering Pill, Ling Pengyun had stabilized his newly broken-through cultivation level.
Although his cultivation was stable, he couldn't be happy.
Because of his experience in consolidating his cultivation, he also knew the speed at which he could cultivate with the help of the Spirit Gathering Pill.
"Judging from my current situation, even with enough Spirit Gathering Pill, it would take at least three years to condense enough Liquid Spiritual Power to fill my Dantian and break through to the second level of Foundation Establishment."
"Without the Spirit Gathering Pill, it would probably take at least ten years to cultivate by simply absorbing Spiritual Qi."
"Once I reached the Foundation Establishment, my disadvantages in cultivation aptitude became much more pronounced."
"If you want to make rapid progress in your cultivation, you can only rely on accumulating a huge amount of resources, just like the Qi Training Stage."
Thinking about it this way, Ling Pengyun suddenly felt a headache coming on.
He couldn't wait to break through only one level of cultivation every ten years.
Although the lifespan of Foundation Establishment cultivator is about 250 years, twice that of Qi Training Stage, a period of more than ten years still accounts for a significant portion of the Foundation Establishment lifespan.
To break through cultivation levels quickly, a great deal of resources are indeed required.
A Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Pill costs at least two hundred Spirit Stone on the market, but one Spirit Gathering Pill is only enough to sustain his cultivation for one month.
Over three years, at least thirty-six Spirit Gathering Pill and at least seven thousand two hundred Spirit Stone will be needed.
Even with an annual Lineage stipend, one could obtain eighteen Spirit Gathering Pill over three years, but would still need to spend three thousand six hundred Spirit Stone to purchase an additional eighteen Spirit Gathering Pill.
There are quite a few of these Spirit Stone.
"Three thousand six hundred Spirit Stone is almost equivalent to all the spiritual energy I consumed in cultivation when I was in the Qi Training Stage, but now it can only raise my cultivation level by one level."
"The path of cultivation is indeed like traversing a golden mountain."
"No wonder, among the four most important things for cultivators—wealth, companions, magic, and land—wealth comes first."
With his thoughts back in order, Ling Pengyun put aside these troublesome matters, took out another Spirit Gathering Pill from his Storage Bag, swallowed it, and then circulated his Cultivation Method to refine the medicinal power of the pill.
