Adaptation

Time passed, and half a month went by in the blink of an eye. Wharton made no progress at all in cultivating the Primordial Elixir Art. Logically, since he had cultivated it once before, he should have been able to get started quickly. Yet no matter how diligently Wharton worked, there was no improvement. In the end, he had no choice but to give up continuing his cultivation of the Primordial Elixir Art.

After calming down, Wharton finally found the problem. Although he could also sense spiritual energy in the Panlong World, its composition was completely different from the spiritual energy of his previous life. The Panlong World was composed of the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind, along with light, darkness, and lightning. This was fundamentally different from the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in his previous life's cultivation world. Naturally, he could not succeed by continuing to cultivate. However, that did not mean the cultivation techniques from his previous life were entirely useless. If he could integrate the essence of some of the manuals in his memories into the Panlong World's cultivation system, they could still complement each other.

Out of curiosity, Wharton did not go out to play and instead cultivated alone in his room. Since Wharton had only just recovered, Hillman did not require him to train as usual, so he had plenty of time.

As soon as he thought of it, he put it into action. Wharton first took out the Dragonblood Manual and cultivated according to the method recorded within it. Very quickly, he got started. He could clearly feel the magical spiritual energy around him continuously entering the meridians in his body, strengthening his body as it circulated within him.

Through continuous cultivation and experimentation, combined with some of the essence of immortal cultivation, Wharton could clearly feel that his speed had increased greatly. Moreover, it seemed that he could cultivate even if his dragonblood concentration did not meet the standard. Perhaps long-term cultivation could even raise the concentration of his bloodline.

Although cultivation techniques could not be used, martial techniques were unaffected by the conflict. Only the energy used to activate them was different. Furthermore, through his inquiries during this period, it seemed that this world also had a profession similar to pill refinement. It was not called alchemy, though he did not know what methods they used.

This world was rich in spiritual energy and had existed for a long time, so it should have many spiritual herbs. He just did not know whether anything would restrict his ability to refine pills. If he could refine pills, perhaps he could save even more time.

Thus, aside from training with Hillman every day, Wharton cultivated the Dragonblood Manual on his own after returning home. After his first transformation, Wharton's physical strength had clearly risen several levels. He was now strong enough to match a First-Level Warrior. His cultivation of the Dragonblood Manual was also very fast; after only half a month, he had reached the peak of the First-Level Warrior level.

Perhaps because of Soul Fusion, Wharton's spiritual force had become extraordinarily powerful. He learned things very quickly, and as long as he saw something once, he basically understood it. At the same time, Wharton tried searching for traces of Purple Radiance, but aside from sensing his body gradually growing stronger and his dragonblood lineage slowly becoming purer, he had no clues at all.

He continued trying again and again, reviewing many cultivation techniques he had seen in his previous life. Finding the points they had in common, he integrated them into the Dragonblood Manual, hoping to create an entirely new Dragonblood Manual. After failure after failure, Wharton finally created a brand-new Dragonblood Manual. Not only was its cultivation speed much faster, but it could also increase the concentration of dragonblood in his body and strengthen him.

After repeated experiments finally succeeded, there was currently no way to further improve the Dragonblood Manual. Still, this was already extremely rare. After all, creating a cultivation manual required not only experience, but more importantly, the corresponding strength to support it.

Nearly a month had passed since Wharton began cultivating, and he had shown no adverse reactions. However, he had not found a suitable chance to tell Hogg, nor did he know what reason to give him. He planned to mention it when an opportunity arose, since he was simply too young right now.

While cultivating every day, he also did not reveal his strength. Perhaps influenced by Wharton's soul, or perhaps to make up for the regrets of his previous life, after finishing his daily cultivation, he would go play on Black Mountain with several companions. He was just like an ordinary child, only somewhat more mature.
