Spirit Pressure Cultivation Great Method

The spirit stones shattered, and the spiritual qi within spilled out. Yet, because of the Spirit Gathering Array, it was bound inside the Spirit Gathering Space, causing the spiritual pressure within to rise slowly.

When the twelfth spirit stone crumbled to powder in Luo Hong's hand, the spiritual pressure within the Spirit Gathering Space reached 20.0, while Luo Hong's Internal Spirit Pressure rose to 4.8.

At that point, Luo Hong stopped taking out new spirit stones and began inspecting the Spirit Gathering Array. His cultivation for at least the next ten years would depend on it, so there absolutely could be no mistakes.

Once it stopped absorbing spiritual qi, the formation plate's rate of spirit stone consumption plummeted by ninety percent.

"With the Spirit Gathering Array running at full power, four spirit stones can only last around five days. But in this standby-like state, I only need to replace the spirit stones once every two months. A Spirit Rain Master receives two spirit stones a month in wages, just enough to maintain the Spirit Gathering Array."

After confirming again and again that there were no errors, Luo Hong sat down cross-legged. The preparations were complete; now came the moment to witness a miracle.

The Yellow Dragon Pill was the most common Foundation Strengthening and Origin Nurturing Pill suitable for the Qi Refining Stage. After taking one, a cultivator's Internal Spirit Pressure could reach around 5.0, and its effects would last for six shichen.

There were twenty pills in the bottle Li Huayuan had given him. Their market price was around twenty spirit stones, but they were generally difficult to buy.

Yellow Dragon Pills were known for their mild medicinal nature, yet Luo Hong wore a grave expression as he swallowed one.

The pill was slightly bitter upon entering his mouth. Then its medicinal power dispersed, and Luo Hong's Internal Spirit Pressure suddenly soared!

5.0! 10.0! 15.0!

It was still rising!

The concentration of spiritual qi in his meridians grew ever higher, and Luo Hong gradually began to feel swollen and sore. Fortunately, when his Internal Spirit Pressure reached 20.0, the excess spiritual qi finally found an outlet, spilling out from all parts of his body.

"Success!"

Luo Hong did his best to restrain his excitement. Silently reciting the cultivation formula, he set the spiritual qi in his meridians circulating.

Cycle after cycle passed, and the spiritual qi was continuously refined into pure mana.

The mana flowed into his already brimming dantian, gradually expanding it and making it increasingly tough.

The spiritual qi that was refined was simultaneously replenished by the medicinal power, keeping Luo Hong's Internal Spirit Pressure constant.

And the stability of his Internal Spirit Pressure, in turn, kept the medicinal power from dissipating.

This round of cultivation lasted an entire day, increasing Luo Hong's Mana Limit by six points in one breath. Not only did he successfully break through to the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining, he was not far from Qi Refining Level Five either.

Such cultivation speed had already surpassed that of Cultivators with Second-grade Spirit Roots!

By simply making use of Internal Spirit Pressure and External Spiritual Pressure, Luo Hong had bypassed the problem that plagued countless Cultivators with False Spirit Roots.

If spirit roots weren't enough, spiritual pressure would make up the difference.

There was not much great wisdom contained in this, yet without the guidance of scientific thinking, it had remained hidden in a blind spot for tens of thousands of years.

"This cultivation method absolutely cannot be spread. Otherwise, the prices of pills like the Yellow Dragon Pill will inevitably skyrocket. With the enormous number of Qi Refining Stage Cultivators, they might even dig the spiritual herbs used to refine these pills into extinction, and could stir up a bloody tempest that sweeps across the entire continent."

"Alas, I can only bear this joy alone.

In truth, this still isn't the most perfect cultivation system, since it remains constrained by pills.

The limit of one Yellow Dragon Pill is an increase of six points to the Mana Limit. Even if I continue strengthening my meridians and raise the Internal Spirit Pressure I can withstand, it would only shorten the time I need to refine the medicinal power. Only pills with stronger medicinal power can increase the amount by which my Mana Limit rises.

If I can uncover more mysteries between External Spiritual Pressure and Internal Spirit Pressure, I can use the boundless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and soar to the heavens through the Spirit Pressure Cultivation Great Method!

A Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator's ability to control Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is a good entry point. Should I make contact with Xiang Zhili?"

Just as Luo Hong was somewhat moved, the image of Old Demon Han retreating behind the others drifted through his mind.

"No. I can't get carried away over a momentary success. Lie low—absolutely lie low."

After finishing his cultivation, the spiritual pressure within the Spirit Gathering Space had barely changed. Luo Hong got up and went to the main house, following the usual routine to activate the Little Rain Cloud Array and bring sweet rain to the more than one hundred mu of Spirit Fields at the foot of the mountain.

The rain had to continue for one shichen. Fortunately, Luo Hong's cultivation had just risen to a new level; otherwise, he would have had to finish the task in two sessions.

After finishing his work, Luo Hong meditated in the main house to restore his depleted dantian.

Once his dantian was full again, Luo Hong did not hurry back into the Spirit Gathering Array to swallow pills and cultivate. Instead, he used mana to heat some water for a bath.

Removing Yellow Maple Valley's uniform, Luo Hong revealed a body of fair skin, so smooth and tender that he resembled a woman.

As he settled into the bath barrel, Luo Hong could not help letting out a comfortable moan. After closing his eyes and enjoying it for a moment, he used the Object Manipulation Art to summon his Storage Bag and took out the White Lotus Pills he had traded from Li Huayuan yesterday.

The White Lotus Pill was quite an obscure pill. It could not increase cultivation, and it was not taken orally, but applied externally.

Luo Hong tossed a White Lotus Pill into the bathwater. The white pill dissolved upon touching the water, and in an instant, the fragrance of white lotus blossoms wafted through the air.

Luo Hong took a deep breath and submerged himself completely. He circulated the secret method and began absorbing the medicinal power.

This method was called the Ice Skin Jade Bone Method, a low-level Body Refining Technique that was widely circulated among female cultivators.

White Lotus Pills were necessary for cultivating the Ice Skin Jade Bone Method. They were not expensive, but because their main ingredient was extremely rare, they were even harder to purchase than Yellow Dragon Pills.

Female cultivators practiced the Ice Skin Jade Bone Method mainly for its beautifying and complexion-enhancing effects. However, since there were quite a few cultivation methods with the same effects, female cultivators did not think much of this method.

The reason Li Huayuan had so many White Lotus Pills was most likely that he had painstakingly gathered them from all over in the past to please his Dual Cultivation Partner.

As a male cultivator practicing the Ice Skin Jade Bone Method, Luo Hong was not trying to seduce Old Demon Han. He was doing it to increase his Meridian Strength.

Through comparative experiments on many low-level Body Refining Secret Methods, Luo Hong had concluded that the Ice Skin Jade Bone Method stood above all other low-level Body Refining Techniques in improving the flexibility of one's meridians.

The Ice Skin Jade Bone Method had twelve layers in total. Luo Hong had only mastered the first two, yet his Meridian Strength had already increased by more than three points.

Clearly, this method held tremendous promise!

The sun and moon hurried by like a white colt flashing past a crack. In the blink of an eye, Luo Hong had been a disciple of Yellow Maple Valley for over a month, and he had finished his Yellow Dragon Pills yesterday.

Luo Hong's cultivation had now reached Qi Refining Level Seven. With an ample supply of White Lotus Pills piled up for use, the Ice Skin Jade Bone Method had also broken through to the fourth layer, making his complexion look several shades fairer and more tender.

Without Yellow Dragon Pills to assist him, sitting in dry meditation with Luo Hong's aptitude would have been a waste of time.

Using the Spirit Gathering Array would be even more unprofitable. If the spirit stones it consumed were used to buy Yellow Dragon Pills instead, the returns would increase by more than tenfold.

"Martial Uncle Ma, pardon the interruption. Your spiritual herbs are truly planted wonderfully. This time, this disciple has really stumbled upon a treasure."

Luo Hong emerged from the Hundred Herbs Garden with a smile on his face. He had used the opportunity to buy Yellow Dragon Pill ingredients to investigate the place.

Old Demon Han was not here, and the next Southern Small Gathering would be held three years later.

"Hmph! You youngster have quite the eye. You may come often in the future."

Martial Uncle Ma was extremely pleased by Luo Hong's straightforwardness during their transaction.

"Certainly, certainly."

If I don't trample your threshold to pieces, I'll change my surname!

Luo Hong thought this to himself.
