The beast gel used the same ratios, except that demonic beast hides were used instead.

Excluding experimental materials, Xiao Shou gave up on producing Tier 1 essence entirely and fused everything else.

In total, he obtained nine Tier 2 demonic beast essences and two Tier 3 demonic beast essences.

The same went for beast gel.

After finishing, he used a Cleansing Dust Technique to clean himself and the stone chamber.

Then, filled with anticipation, he swallowed both the demonic beast essence and beast gel together.

He only felt that both items melted instantly in his mouth.

In the next moment, a massive surge of heat erupted from his stomach and spread throughout his entire body, giving him the illusion that his body was melting.

Immediately after, it transformed into an extreme sense of comfort.

He carefully sensed the changes in his body.

When the heat gradually subsided and the transformation ended, he had more or less understood the effects of the two products.

Over the past few years of cultivation, Xiao Shou who originally knew almost nothing about cultivation had gradually come to understand the principles of his own technique.

His cultivation method worked by repeatedly refining his cultivation level, absorbing spiritual energy into the body, compressing and condensing them, and then expanding the body’s capacity through special effects of the technique.

To use an analogy, it was like a container that could originally hold one cubic unit of spiritual particles.

After the first refinement, the container expanded to two cubic units, while the spiritual energy condensed into a mist state.

This greatly increased the total amount of spiritual energy it could hold.

As quantity accumulated, it would eventually lead to qualitative change.

When too many spiritual energy gathered together, combined with other factors, they would undergo subtle and mysterious transformations.

This was his cultivation method.

No, more precisely, it was the principle behind this branch of fusion-based cultivation.

However, the "container" that was the body had its limits.

Once that limit was exceeded without finding a way to transform it further, the container would be destroyed instead.

That was why his technique originally could only reach the fourth rotation and could not progress further.

According to Fu Young’s deduction, the methods for the fifth to eighth rotations likely required gathering special spiritual materials to forge and temper the physical body, allowing cultivation to continue.

At the ninth rotation, even heavenly treasures could no longer expand the capacity of the "container."

Only the secret method within the ninth rotation technique itself could use the power of heavenly tribulation lightning to reforge the body and increase its capacity.

This was also the principle behind Fu Young’s deduction of this cultivation system and the creation of accelerated cultivation methods.

And the effects of the demonic beast essence and beast gel were actually directly expanding the body’s spiritual energy capacity.

Flesh, blood, meridians, dantian, bones, everything was strengthened and expanded at the same time.

Originally, after reaching the twelfth level of the fourth rotation Qi Refining stage, Xiao Shou could already feel his limit.

It felt as if absorbing even a little more spiritual energy would cause his dantian to explode.

But after consuming the Tier 2 essence and beast gel, he immediately felt that tightness disappear.

His entire body felt much lighter and more relaxed.

This effect was extremely good.

If he kept consuming more, maybe he could even cultivate the Tier 9 technique directly without needing to undergo heavenly tribulation lightning tempering.

Thinking of this, he immediately took out two more Tier 2 essences and beast gels and swallowed them.

However, this time, after taking them, the heat gathered in his stomach but did not spread.

It condensed without dispersing and no longer caused any further change to his body.

Xiao Shou was startled, then quickly thought of modern video games.

Some attribute-boosting items have usage limits, such as a fixed number of uses per day.

These essence and gel items seemed similar.

Could they also have usage restrictions?

He did not know how long the cooldown was, so he would need to test it carefully in the future to obtain accurate data.

It seemed he could not infinitely increase his aptitude.

That was slightly disappointing.

But he quickly set that thought aside.

With his body’s capacity increased by a thousand points, although he did not know how that translated in the cultivation world, he could clearly feel that reaching the fifth rotation would not be a problem at all.

With that in mind, he took out the technique Fu Young had deduced and carefully studied it again.

After a long while, he put down the jade slip and focused his mind. He then gathered spiritual energy, and began a new round of cultivation according to the method.

While refining the spiritual energy, Xiao Shou’s cultivation once again entered the first level of the fifth rotation.

The increased capacity of his body made his cultivation process extremely smooth. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

He continued until his spiritual energy reached saturation and his circulation completed a full cycle, reaching perfection.

He then stood up from his meditation platform.

With nothing else to do, he suddenly remembered that the lightning chamber had not yet been set up.

He quickly found a clean stone room, took out the Tier 3 lightning formation plate and inserted spirit stones to activate it.

After that, considering the nature of lightning, which produces loud disturbances and could easily attract attention from the outside, he simply took out the unused Concealment Stones from his storage belt.

Using fire talismans, he melted them and coated the walls and floor of the stone chamber with a layer to enhance the concealment of lightning aura.

Then he took out refined fine iron that had been unused for years and further forged it into a net-like lightning conduction structure covering the entire chamber.

In this way, the Concealment Stone served as an insulating layer covering the entire room, while the fine iron net filled the space inside the chamber.
