Essence Extraction Art

Jing Qian mobilized the power of the Sumeru Destiny Constitution and leaped out of the space he had named the Void Realm.

After a period of recuperation, his magic power and physical body had both returned to their peak, and had even grown significantly!

However, he didn't even have his only brocade pouch left!

Holding an iron skewer in one hand, completely naked, he stood on a broken coconut log, looking like a miserable wretch who couldn't make a living.

But only he knew that the sea area beneath his feet had become his home ground!

Jing Qian plunged into the sea, raised a hand and pointed, shooting out a thread that captured a large green fish, letting it pull him towards the seabed.

Before long, he arrived at a trench.

Jing Qian shot out a second thread and retrieved the copper hammer that had sunk into the trench.

This hammer and skewer, though seemingly unremarkable, were both masterpieces personally forged by the short and stout cultivator. They were entirely made of Sea Fang Iron of the White Fang rank, with solid materials and proper tempering.

They were genuine ranked weapons, worth a considerable amount.

Jing Qian was currently penniless, so there was no reason to casually discard treasures.

After retrieving the copper hammer, he returned to the giant crab's corpse.

This giant crab's shell and meat were also useful materials.

If he could drag it back to land, he could sell it for a good price!

Unfortunately, it was lying dead on the seabed, and its weight of dozens of tons was not something an ordinary person could move.

Jing Qian drove the green fish, circling the giant crab's carcass several times, scanning it up and down with his divine sense.

Finally, in the lower right abdomen of the crab, he discovered a place where White Fang Destiny Essence converged.

Within the flesh and blood of its entire body, only the special magical material formed where the Destiny Essence gathered was a ranked material of the White Fang rank.

Naturally, this was also the most valuable part of the giant crab.

Jing Qian targeted that spot and once again drilled into the giant crab's body through its mouth.

He drilled his way through, piercing the flesh and blood that blocked his path, and finally dug out a piece of yellow jade the size of an ostrich egg.

This yellow jade was crystal clear and warm to the touch, several degrees higher than Jing Qian's body temperature.

Afterward, he pulled out a piece of tender white crab meat as thick as an adult's thigh from the giant crab's abdomen, completing the process of looting the corpse.

The Void Realm still needed space for refuge, so its loading capacity was only at this level.

However, with this White Fang Crab Jade, he had already obtained eighty percent of the value of the giant crab's carcass.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Jing Qian surfaced again and found half a coconut log to serve as his foothold.

He tied the green fish to the log, pointed in a direction, and the big fish pulled the log, speeding away.

Without the large raft, only a dugout canoe remained, and Jing Qian immediately lost interest in choosing a fish to pull the boat.

He had given up. If worst came to worst, he would just split this log and carve out a surfboard, which would definitely make him fly!

The unlucky fish, pulling the broken log, carrying the naked child, sailed non-stop towards the west.

The ordinary sea fish in this world are quite strong and powerful.

The large green fish actually reached a speed of nearly thirty kilometers per hour!

The sea breeze ruffled Jing Qian's stiff, spiky hair, and for a moment, it was actually quite pleasant!

The power of Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits manifested in his hair. With this enhancement, Jing Qian could easily control and adjust his hairstyle.

The giant crab from before was the overlord of this surrounding sea area. Its territory covered an area of roughly five hundred li.

Within this sea area, it was the only White Fang fierce beast.

After Jing Qian killed it, this sea area was quite safe for a short period of time.

He traveled on the sea in a dugout canoe for three hours before reaching his destination.

In the seawater beneath his feet lay an important treasure he had unearthed from the giant crab's memory, which was the reason he had come specifically.

However, the sun overhead had already begun to set, and night was about to fall. Jing Qian was not in a hurry to go into the sea.

He directed the green fish to patrol back and forth, guarding his dugout canoe so it wouldn't be swept away by the ocean currents.

Meanwhile, with a surge of his magical power, he returned to the Void Realm.

Jing Qian took out the thick crab leg and began to devour it in large bites.

He then took out the Morning and Evening Destiny Breaking Scripture, carefully flipped through the table of contents to get a general understanding, and began to interpret it word by word, sentence by sentence.

This precious cultivation scripture is divided into two parts, upper and lower. The upper part records the fundamental cultivation method from nurturing essence, all the way through determining destiny and burning the body, until achieving great success in the Dragon Elephant realm.

The lower part records various cultivation secret arts and methods for using Destiny Constitutions that complement the fundamental method. These can enrich one's techniques and enhance combat power.

This scripture has been accumulated and revised by the Jing family over many years. It can be said to be a detailed and easy-to-understand cultivation reference book.

Jing Qian carefully studied it, comparing it with the memories in his mind, building his understanding of cultivation in a slow but steady manner.

This will undoubtedly be a long process of accumulation.

After some exploration, he had found his direction for future cultivation.

In this world, after a cultivator successfully burns their body, determines their destiny, and refines a Destiny Constitution, the first thing they must do is quickly master an Essence Extraction Art.

As the name suggests, the Essence Extraction Art is a technique that relies on the power of the Destiny Constitution to extract essence from the realm and condense Destiny Essence.

It is the core method for enhancing one's magical power after determining destiny, and it can greatly improve the efficiency of accumulating Destiny Essence.

It can be said to be a required course for every cultivator.

Jing Qian carefully studied the several Essence Extraction Arts recorded in the Morning and Evening Destiny Breaking Scripture, and his horizons were instantly broadened!

For the first time, he felt the importance of inheritance!

From these secret arts, one could directly feel the power and charm of knowledge!

He couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for the senior experts who had explored and discovered such profound methods!

This wondrous world is filled with immeasurable essence in all things.

This is the foundation and source of all extraordinary power.

All cultivation methods, in the final analysis, are about absorbing vital energy into oneself, strengthening oneself, and seeking the sublimation of the essence of life.

Corresponding to different types of Destiny Constitutions, the Morning and Evening Destiny Breaking Scripture records a total of two Essence Extraction Arts.

Among them, the Seal Talisman Art, which corresponds to Lifeform Destiny, can be applied to the Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits Destiny Constitution, which is exactly suitable for his cultivation.

And the Prayer Offering Tribute Method, which corresponds to God-Ghost Destiny, can also be used on Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits, but this secret method requires the support of Destiny Fire, which he temporarily does not have the conditions for.

He undoubtedly lacked an Essence Extraction Art specifically for Sumeru!

However, he was not in a hurry. His cultivation time was too short, and he still had plenty of time to search slowly.

He could very well cultivate this Seal Talisman Art first and accumulate some experience.

After all, according to what is recorded in the Morning and Evening Destiny Breaking Scripture, this Essence Extraction Art is not an easy task that can be accomplished overnight.

Jing Qian took a nap for two hours in this Void Realm, ensuring the necessary sleep.

In the remaining time, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to comprehending this Seal Talisman Art and felt that he had gained a lot!

It wasn't until the rising sun that he withdrew from that state of enlightenment.

For a moment, Jing Qian even wanted to stay in this Void Realm until he cultivated the Essence Extraction Art.

But years of martial arts experience told Jing Qian that often, haste makes waste!

Being too invested and persistent is undoubtedly overdrawing one's mental strength and state, which is a manifestation of the growth of inner demons.

Relaxing and not getting carried away is the right path of cultivation.

Otherwise, a series of losses could lead to a significant drop in points!

He put away the secret manual, stretched a big lazy stretch, and then escaped from the Void Realm.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he vaguely felt that the size of this Void Realm seemed to have increased slightly!

Returning to the surface of the sea, the big green fish was still honestly carrying out Jing Qian's orders.

Jing Qian casually released it.

After a day and a night, and a thousand miles of travel, the fish's physical strength was severely overdrawn. It was already a blessing from heaven that it hadn't been played to death by Jing Qian.

He shot a line from his left hand, switched to a large yellow croaker, and continued to have it watch his dugout canoe.

He shot a line from his right hand, caught a large black fish, and had it pull his body as he swam towards the depths of the seabed.

The sun hung high, and under the sunlight, the area beneath the sea surface was also clearly visible.

But as Jing Qian descended two hundred meters deep, the surrounding light also became increasingly dim.

By the time he finally reached the seabed.

This place was already a thousand-meter deep sea where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face!

Jing Qian firmly covered his body with a layer of White Fang Destiny Essence, blocking the immense pressure of the seabed.

He felt the unique tranquility and pressure of the deep sea, but his heart was filled with the excitement and curiosity of exploration.

Jing Qian identified the direction, pulled the silk thread again, and had the fish pull him towards the place in the giant crab's memory.

After swimming for nearly another mile, he finally reached the ultimate destination of this trip.

A massive treasure ship appeared before his eyes!

No, not one ship, but half a ship!

Only the front half of the treasure ship remained intact. The back half had been bitten off by some kind of giant creature, leaving neat teeth marks along the break.

This half of the treasure ship was a full hundred meters long and twenty meters wide. Its shape was peculiar, entirely round and seamless, with no windows or doors, as if it were formed in one piece.

Moreover, the ship had no sails or oars, its power source unknown.

Jing Qian didn't stop, swimming towards the opening of the treasure ship and entering the dark interior of the cabin.

Upon reaching this point, the surroundings changed once again!

Inside the cabin, everything was in disarray, with giant crab claw marks everywhere.

This place was the giant crab's long-term lair and also where it found its opportunity!

In its memory, the reason the giant crab was able to break through bloodline limitations and successfully advance to Ninth Rank [White Fang] was entirely because it luckily encountered this broken ship.

It consumed unknown precious medicines within the cabin, which allowed it to awaken the [Crab Jade] Destiny Constitution and complete its advancement.

When Jing Qian sensed the existence of this treasure ship, he immediately rushed over to explore the sunken ship.

Since there were magical items within that could help the giant crab advance, there must be information worth excavating!
