Succeeding Cangyin (Monthly Ticket Request)

The sky after dusk looked as though a handful of thick ink had been spilled across it, black as pitch, so dark that nothing could be seen.

Only now did Ye Jingcheng emerge from his reflections on the jade slip.

After learning how to deal with the heart demon tribulation, Ye Jingcheng had gone on to read the other experiences recorded within the jade slip.

Once he started reading, he had become utterly engrossed, only awakening now.

He estimated the time and found that two days had already passed.

Naturally, the gains from those two days had been extraordinary.

Besides the general experience of dealing with heart demon tribulations, as well as the lessons and conclusions left by Ye Shengyi and Ye Xuecang, Ye Jingcheng had also learned two minor secret arts for refining true essence.

The first was the Palace-Expanding Method.

Though it was called palace-expanding, in truth it was much like a cultivator's Stone Armor Technique: using true essence to condense an armor-like garment around one's Purple Palace.

This increased both the total amount and the density of one's true essence.

That way, when gathering the palace and condensing the core, forming the core would be swifter and easier.

After all, one would already have experience refining true essence.

The second was the Ye Family's exclusive Enlightenment Method.

This method used the Beast-Link Mark to draw in higher-grade true essence, then used that true essence to strike the Purple Palace, allowing it to adapt to higher-grade true essence.

Of course, moderation was required. Too little would have insufficient effect, while too much could easily cause injury.

Both methods suited Ye Jingcheng perfectly. After all, he was already at this stage, and he possessed a Gold Condensation Pill, allowing him to enter seclusion and break through at any time!
