Blood Lingzhi

In the latter half of July, Magic City was already sweltering, with outdoor temperatures nearing forty degrees Celsius.

Jinshan Villa District was located in the suburbs of Magic City; with its beautiful, lush scenery, the temperature was noticeably lower there.

This was precisely why Jinshan Villa District was classified as a wealthy neighborhood—it was warm in winter and cool in summer, offering excellent living conditions.

In the quiet room of Villa 66, Su Yuan let out a soft breath and slowly opened his eyes.

At this very moment, Su Yuan had complete control over his body; by closing his eyes, he could "see" the writhing of his internal organs and the surging of his blood.

This ability, known as "internal vision," was a technique that only a Grandmaster of the Dan-Forming stage could master.

And Su Yuan... although he was not a Grandmaster of the Dan-Forming stage, because his cultivation method was the Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method, his biological evolution was superior to that of National Martial Arts practitioners at the same stage.

Even without having transformed into a Level 1 life form, he had naturally mastered this "internal vision" ability.

Grandmaster of the Dan-Forming stage...

Su Yuan's thoughts were calm. He had now completed fourteen sessions of cultivation, and he was only one session away from the fifteen sessions prescribed by the Gray Mirror.

In other words, Su Yuan only needed to complete the final session to fully transform into a Level 1 life form and become a Grandmaster of the Dan-Forming stage within the Xia Kingdom's cultivation world.

In fact, the Level 1 life form that Su Yuan was transforming into was superior to a Grandmaster of the Dan-Forming stage in every aspect.

Once a Grandmaster of the Dan-Forming stage in the Xia Kingdom achieves their breakthrough, their vital energy and spirit become like a unified pill. From then on, their essence and energy do not leak, they remain free from illness, and they can easily live to be 120 years old.

Su Yuan thought to himself.

As for the Ming-Jin and An-Jin stages before Dan-Forming?

The National Martial Arts cultivation method gained strength by squeezing the body's potential; before reaching the Hua-Jin stage, one's lifespan was actually shorter than that of an ordinary person.

Some battle-hardened An-Jin experts didn't even live to be sixty.

Only by reaching the Hua-Jin stage could one use their internal force to slightly regulate the body, allowing them to live to eighty or ninety, but even then, it was still just the lifespan of an ordinary person.

Only the Grandmaster of the Dan-Forming stage represented the pinnacle of the National Martial Arts cultivation method, nourishing the self and compensating for all the previous depletion, with vital energy and spirit coalescing into a perfect sphere.

No wonder there are so few Grandmasters of the Dan-Forming stage in the Xia Kingdom. The gap that a Hua-Jin master must cross to reach the level of a Grandmaster of the Dan-Forming stage is simply too vast.

Su Yuan mused to himself.

According to the fifteen sessions of cultivation set for him by the Gray Mirror, Su Yuan had reached the equivalent of the perfection of the Hua-Jin stage of the National Martial Arts method by the time he completed his tenth session.

The subsequent four or five sessions were all about steadily approaching the level of a Level 1 life form.

Thus, by the fourteenth session, Su Yuan was already very close to becoming a Level 1 life form.

Under these circumstances, performing the fifteenth session to achieve biological transformation and evolution, stepping into the realm of a Level 1 life form, was a completely natural progression.

But the National Martial Arts cultivation method? Moving from the perfection of Hua-Jin to the Grandmaster of the Dan-Forming stage was like a carp leaping over the dragon gate; if the step taken was too large, it was easy to fall.

Therefore, the probability of a Hua-Jin master breaking through to the Dan-Forming stage in the National Martial Arts method was extremely low.

In fact, it wasn't just the cultivation methods of the Xia Kingdom.

Other cultivation methods on Blue Star were much the same.

When crossing into the Level 1 life level, one had to face great risks; it entirely depended on whether one's life was "hard" enough.

This is the advantage of the Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method...

Su Yuan sighed inwardly. By practicing this method, he would encounter almost no bottlenecks in the early stages.

And having no bottlenecks was just one of the many advantages of the Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method.

There were many other benefits.

For instance, lifespan.

The lifespan of a Grandmaster of the Dan-Forming stage is about 120 to 130 years. Beyond that, the physical body decays rapidly, and no matter how strong the spirit is, it is useless.

But if I transform into a Level 1 life form, my lifespan starts at five hundred years.

A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face. Five hundred years of life? That was enough to span the duration of two feudal dynasties in ancient Xia Kingdom.

And that was just as a Level 1 life form; by the time he reached Level 2, Level 3... the increase in lifespan would only be greater.

Collecting his thoughts, Su Yuan looked at the Gray Mirror.

After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "What is my current ranking in Magic City?"

Because he had just finished his fourteenth session and his strength had improved once more, he was making his routine inquiry.

The surface of the Gray Mirror rippled with a hazy glow, and an answer appeared.

[Rank 11]

Looking at the answer provided by the Gray Mirror, Su Yuan nodded slightly.

With his current strength, even without extensive combat experience, by virtue of the suppression from his biological level, he could be considered nearly invincible among those at the Hua-Jin stage.

The reason he said "nearly" was because there were some masters at the perfection of the Hua-Jin stage who had participated in human enhancement experiments, resulting in a significant increase in their strength.

Although this approach relied on external forces, it could still be considered a part of their own strength.

"Practical combat experience..."

A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face.

During this period, aside from his regular cultivation and studies, his practical combat experience had also improved rapidly.

As for how he improved? By watching videos of battles between various powerhouses.

Improving one's own practical combat experience simply by watching videos of experts fighting? This required an extremely high level of comprehension to achieve.

And Su Yuan's comprehension was definitely not low. Comprehension was also one of the six dimensions of life evolution, and as Su Yuan cultivated during this time, his own comprehension had been constantly increasing as well.

"What is my current ranking in hacking skills within Magic City?"

Su Yuan continued to ask.

Along with his continuous cultivation, Su Yuan's learning ability had become stronger and stronger, and his improvement in hacking skills even surpassed that of the life evolution field.

[23rd place]

Grey Mirror provided the answer.

"Not bad."

Su Yuan was in a good mood.

Ranked 11th in strength.

Ranked 23rd in hacking skills.

In the vast Magic City, he was absolutely one of a kind.

Those stronger than Su Yuan in power were certainly not as skilled as him in hacking.

Those who surpassed Su Yuan in hacking skills were not as strong as him.

"Next, it's time to prepare for the fifteenth cultivation session and step into a Level 1 life form."

Su Yuan steadied his mind, his expression turning slightly solemn.

Ever since he obtained the Tianshan Snow Lotus six days ago—the best auxiliary item for breaking through to a Level 1 life form—his requirements for his own breakthrough had naturally become higher.

He prepared to replace all the auxiliary items for his breakthrough with the best items of the same caliber as the Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Su Yuan's cultivation method could drive the evolution of the six dimensions of life: body, soul, will, wisdom, comprehension, and potential.

The Tianshan Snow Lotus could promote the evolution of the body, soul, and potential.

As for the remaining three dimensions—will, wisdom, and comprehension—Su Yuan had also made corresponding arrangements.

Four days ago, Su Yuan traveled to the suburbs of Magic City and spent the better part of a day digging deep underground to unearth a drop of Century Earth Milk.

This drop of Century Earth Milk was one of the best auxiliary items for promoting the evolution of "wisdom."

"Blood Lingzhi..."

Su Yuan's expression shifted slightly.

The Blood Lingzhi was the best auxiliary item for promoting the evolution of the final two dimensions.

It was also the choice of auxiliary item recommended by Grey Mirror as the most suitable for Su Yuan's transformation into a Level 1 life form.
