Foundation Establishment Middle Stage

Having been called out by Li Yue, the bearded man did not become angry.

He nodded, then explained the circumstances of the Profound Fire True Technique to everyone present.

Only then did he continue:

"I want to exchange it for any Second Order Five Elements spell, or alchemy insights for any Second Order Pills."

Many people present fell silent at the bearded man's request.

After all, it was an incomplete and disjointed cultivation technique.

Even if it was the Profound Fire True Technique, once a top-tier Golden Core cultivation technique, no one would be interested in it.

The use it could offer those present was simply too limited.

Just as the bearded man thought this transaction was about to fall through, Ji Haoyuan, standing at the back of the crowd, suddenly spoke.

"I have a Second Order Water Evasion Technique. Would you be willing to exchange the Profound Fire True Technique for it?"

At Ji Haoyuan's words, the bearded man's eyes immediately lit up.

He promptly looked up at Ji Haoyuan and nodded.

"Yes, but could you first let me see a small portion from the beginning of that spell?"

Naturally, Ji Haoyuan did not refuse this request.

Very soon, after the two had each examined a small portion of the contents in the other's Jade Slip, the transaction was concluded.

Indeed.

The Profound Fire True Technique in the bearded man's possession might have been an extremely useless thing to everyone present.

But for Ji Haoyuan, who possessed Max-Level Comprehension, it was an entirely different matter.

He could fully rely on the existing contents to deduce relatively complete material.

He could even combine it with the cultivation technique he currently practiced and deduce a more complete Profound Fire True Technique better suited to himself.

After that.

The entire trade meet gradually drew to a close.

When Ji Haoyuan and Liu Hongyu walked out of Sky Cloud Tower together,

Liu Hongyu looked at Ji Haoyuan.

"Daoist Friend Haoyuan, do you plan to head straight back next, or continue looking around Mingxia Market?"

"I plan to head back first."

Ji Haoyuan answered with a smile.

His purpose in coming to Mingxia Market this time could be said to have already been fulfilled.

Though it had not been entirely perfect, he had still gained something worthwhile.

Now, he only wanted to return and see whether he could complete the Profound Fire True Technique, then determine whether he could merge it with the Blazing Fire True Art he currently cultivated.

At that time, with the resources he had on hand, his strength or cultivation might be able to advance another step.

Under such circumstances, Ji Haoyuan truly had no desire to linger outside any longer.

Hearing this, Liu Hongyu nodded.

"All right, then. I still have some other matters to handle here, so I'm afraid I won't be able to return with you, Daoist Friend Haoyuan."

"No matter."

Ji Haoyuan did not mind.

The only reason they had come here together this time was because they had been traveling the same way.

Liu Hongyu having her own matters to attend to was perfectly normal.

Some time later.

Ji Haoyuan left Mingxia Market.

After spending several days traveling,

Ji Haoyuan returned to the Ji Family on Ganyang Mountain.

Arriving at the Back Mountain, Ji Haoyuan confirmed that Ji Bochang was currently in seclusion, then entered his own Cave Mansion.

Once inside his Cave Mansion, Ji Haoyuan immediately took out the Jade Slip engraved with the incomplete portion of the Profound Fire True Technique and began carefully reading it again.

Before long, all manner of insights surfaced in his mind.

You read the incomplete Profound Fire True Technique and gained insight.

You read the incomplete Profound Fire True Technique and gained insight.

You read the incomplete Profound Fire True Technique and gained insight. You successfully deduced and completed most of the Profound Fire True Technique.

You obtained all cultivation method contents of the Profound Fire True Technique from Qi Refining to early Golden Core.

More than half a month later.

Ji Haoyuan slowly opened his eyes.

Recalling the contents of the Profound Fire True Technique, he could not help but sigh inwardly.

The Profound Fire True Technique truly deserved to be the mountain-defending cultivation technique of the former Profound Fire Sect.

Its subtleties were indeed far beyond what his current Blazing Fire True Art could compare to.

With that thought, Ji Haoyuan began attempting to cultivate the Profound Fire True Technique and merge it with his Blazing Fire True Art.

You cultivate the Profound Fire True Technique and attempt to merge it with your existing cultivation technique, the Blazing Fire True Art. You gained insight.

You cultivate the Profound Fire True Technique and attempt to merge it with your existing cultivation technique, the Blazing Fire True Art. You gained insight.

You cultivate the Profound Fire True Technique and attempt to merge it with your existing cultivation technique, the Blazing Fire True Art. You gained insight. You successfully merged the two cultivation techniques, taking their essence and discarding their dross. You successfully created a new cultivation technique, the Profound Nether Blazing Fire Art.

The Profound Nether Blazing Fire Art was formed by merging the Blazing Fire True Art with most of the Profound Fire True Technique. Its maximum cultivation limit can reach mid Golden Core.

To think that I created a cultivation technique capable of reaching mid Golden Core just like that.

If word of this got out, it would probably stir the entire Cultivation World into an uproar in minutes.

Ji Haoyuan was overjoyed.

Without hesitation, he immediately began converting to the Profound Nether Blazing Fire Art.

At the same time, all the cultivation resources he had obtained from Ji Bochang and Sun Renzheng were rapidly consumed.

About two years later.

Ji Haoyuan, seated within his Cave Mansion, suddenly experienced a fluctuation in his aura.

Immediately afterward, a wave of spiritual power several times stronger than before slowly spread from his body.

Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

I actually made it?

Ji Haoyuan found it somewhat unbelievable.

Sure enough.

With my current foundation, as long as I have enough resources, I can basically keep cultivating like this without encountering much of a bottleneck.

Unfortunately, this round of cultivation has already used up most of the resources on me.

If I want to continue improving my cultivation this quickly, I'll have to find a way to obtain more cultivation resources.

It seems I'll need to head out again after this.

With that in mind, Ji Haoyuan did not rush to leave seclusion. Instead, he spent several months consolidating his current cultivation before finally walking out of his cultivation Cave Mansion.

Once outside, Ji Haoyuan discovered that Ji Bochang, who had previously been in seclusion like him, had also emerged.

With just one glance, Ji Haoyuan noticed how Ji Bochang differed from before.

His aura had clearly become more restrained.

Among his formerly full head of white hair, quite a bit of black hair had unexpectedly grown back.

Even the vitality in his body had increased considerably.

By a rough estimate, Ji Bochang's Lifespan had increased by at least twenty years during this seclusion.

Yet that was not what concerned Ji Haoyuan most. What concerned him most was Ji Bochang's current cultivation.

After nearly three years of seclusion, Ji Bochang's cultivation had clearly broken through.

Like Ji Haoyuan, he had reached Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

At that moment, Ji Bochang also saw Ji Haoyuan. A smile immediately appeared on his face as he asked:

"How was it, Haoyuan? Did you gain anything from attending that trade meet?"
