One portion of Profound-grade marrow-cleansing liquid!
"It's time to cultivate this Heaven-grade cultivation technique too!" With that, Luo Tian headed toward the secret chamber behind the main hall.
Inside the secret chamber, Luo Tian sat cross-legged on a stone bed and began cultivating according to the Spirit-Devouring Great Art's instructions.
[Spirit-Devouring Great Art, low Heaven grade]: This cultivation technique devours the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, circulating and absorbing it dozens of times faster. After successfully cultivating it, you can condense three Qi vortices, also called Qi seas, within your dantian. You can also last longer in battle against enemies without fearing that the Spiritual Qi in your body will run out!
"System, can I drink the marrow-cleansing liquid and cultivate the Spirit-Devouring Great Art at the same time?"
Yes! The marrow-cleansing liquid can strengthen your meridians and improve your martial talent! The two do not conflict!
Next, Luo Tian took out the Jade Spirit Marrow-Cleansing Liquid and drank it. A cool sensation spread through the meridians all over his body!
"Time to start cultivating the technique!"
At first, he felt utter chaos within his dantian, as though countless streams of Spiritual Qi were crashing about in every direction.
As time passed, this Spiritual Qi slowly began to gather, eventually forming three bright Qi vortices.
Whenever the Qi vortices condensed to a certain degree, Luo Tian felt a heart-rending, lung-tearing pain, as though his entire body were about to be ripped apart.
Damn, cultivating this Heaven-grade technique isn't exactly comfortable! Luo Tian cursed inwardly.
After countless painful struggles and unrelenting efforts.
Luo Tian finally succeeded in condensing the three Qi vortices within his dantian.
Now, he felt his whole body brimming with strength. After successfully cultivating the technique, Luo Tian discovered that his Spiritual Qi absorption speed had increased by more than dozens of times.
He tried circulating the technique, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi surged toward his body like a tide.
It was rapidly drawn into his dantian, at a speed countless times faster than that of other martial artists.
At that moment, Luo Tian's cultivation also began to rise...
Late Purple Mansion Realm... peak Purple Mansion Realm... mid Sea Transformation Realm!
So this is the difference between a Heaven-grade cultivation technique and Earth-, Yellow-, and Profound-grade techniques, Luo Tian marveled inwardly.
A Heaven-grade cultivation technique was a truly heaven-defying technique.
Once one successfully cultivated it, one could cross an enormous gulf and, given time, become a true powerhouse.
Why does this [Spirit-Devouring Great Art] seem like the [Star-Absorbing Great Art] from a TV series I watched in my previous life?
Different tunes, yet the same marvelous result...
People won't take me for a demonic cultivator, will they? Who cares? As long as you're strong enough, you're Daddy!
Luo Tian rose and left the secret chamber, arriving at an open area in the rear courtyard. He drew a deep breath, then shouted sharply, striking out with [Wind-Breaking Fist].
A fierce, powerful fist imprint tore through the air and slammed into a wall.
"Boom!" Cracks covered the wall, and a huge hole was left in it, as though a cannonball had punched through.
Looking at the hole in the wall, Luo Tian revealed a satisfied smile.
"Not bad. My cultivation has risen, and I've become stronger!"
"System, show me my attributes."
Luo Tian Cultivation: mid Sea Transformation Realm Special physique: unawakened Martial skill: [Wind-Breaking Fist], Yellow grade, cultivated Cultivation technique: [Spirit-Devouring Great Art, low Heaven grade], cultivated Faction: Shadow Pavilion Summoned characters: Six Sword Slaves
Puzzled, Luo Tian asked, "System, what's this special physique?"
Host, this world has many special physiques, such as Double Pupils, the innate Dao physique, the desolate ancient sacred physique, the innate sword physique, the solar divine physique, the battle divine physique, spirit physiques, and so on... But those who awaken these special physiques must all possess exceptional talent! However, specific factors are also required, such as bloodlines. Descendants with a Great Emperor's bloodline may also awaken a certain special physique! Consuming or refining and absorbing certain rare treasures carries a chance of producing a mutated bloodline! In each era, or over several thousand years, these special physiques may only appear once! But the chances of these physiques appearing may be somewhat higher among super factions or established clans!
"So that's how it is!"
"I wonder whether I'll have a chance to awaken one?"
"System, combine three Bronze Summoning Cards into one Silver Summoning Card!"
Understood, Host! Ding! The Silver Summoning Card has been synthesized. Please collect it!
Should I summon now?
Or wait until the mission is complete and summon them together?
The strength of a Silver Summoning Card's character should range from early Yin-Yang Realm to peak Yin-Yang Realm!
As for that Gold Summoning Card, I reckon it should at least be somewhere between the Tribulation Crossing Realm and the Reincarnation Realm!
Ding! Friendly reminder: the strength of a Gold Summoning Card's character will increase by one or two minor realms as the Host's own strength increases! In other words, their strength will be between the Tribulation Crossing Realm and the Reincarnation Realm!
"Mm, I guessed right!"
I have one Silver Card now. I need two more to synthesize a Gold Summoning Card!
But I'll have to wait for a system mission to appear before I get a chance!
"Forget it. I'm still short-handed, so I might as well use this card!"
"System, use the Silver Summoning Card!"
Ding! Congratulations on a successful summon! Summoned character: Lü Baichuan
A black hole appeared in the space before Luo Tian, and a figure in plain robes slowly stepped out, refined and courteous, with a powerful presence!
"Lü Baichuan pays his respects to my lord!!"
"Uh! System, who is Lü Baichuan?"
"I've never heard of him?"
The system said:
A villain from the Blue Star novel Meteor, Butterfly, Sword! This system has implanted new memories. He is loyal and reliable!
"Mm, so that's who he is..."
"Rise! No need for such formalities!" Luo Tian said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes, my lord!" Lü Baichuan replied respectfully.
"Show me Lü Baichuan's attributes."
Lü Baichuan's cultivation: peak Yin-Yang Realm Weapons: hidden weapons [Shadowless Needles] [Seven Star Needles] Loyalty: 100
Peak Yin-Yang Realm, and he uses hidden weapons, too.
He can kill without leaving a trace. Won't he be slaughtering everyone left and right in Fengluo City?
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Nice! Nice!"
"Lü Baichuan, follow me for now. For the moment, just protect me!"
"Also, just call me Young Master when we're outside."
Lü Baichuan answered respectfully, "Yes, Young Master!"
