Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master
Chapter 1305 - 509: Cultivation (2)
When empowered on the internal organs, it can enhance lung functionality. Empowered on the skin’s surface, it forms a protective layer. Empowered within the muscles, it grants extra strength. If the exertion structure is unique, it can even allow Ning Zhuo to perform movements defying common sense.
Since understanding the connection between weaving techniques and the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique during the Inheriting Dao Jade Page trial, Ning Zhuo began extensively practicing the weaving of blood vessels.
Of course, he focused on the following: plain weave, twill weave, satin weave, spiral, layering, web, and palindrome, these seven weaving techniques.
Blood Qi flowed through his body unceasingly, transforming into various blood vessels. Sometimes dense, sometimes smooth, sometimes flexible, sometimes penetrating, sometimes layered, sometimes webbing, sometimes looping.
Participating in various Xingyun Trials, Ning Zhuo gained many insights, contributing somewhat to his daily cultivation.
"Blood Qi condensing tendons. These blood vessels could also serve as array lines!"
In the intersections of array lines, an array eye can form, gathering energy.
In blood vessel intersections, nodes can form, gathering Blood Qi.
Layer upon layer of array lines can form an array web, covering an area.
Layer upon layer of blood vessels can form a tendon web, covering the entire body.
During today’s cultivation, Ning Zhuo’s thoughts surged naturally, calculating much content.
His Master Level Array Realm played a role.
"I only have the Foundation Establishment Stage’s Demon-infused Bloodline Technique. Perhaps by the Golden Core Stage, the technique will construct formations within the body."
The Foundation Establishment part teaches various blood vessel structures. By the Golden Core part, it becomes even more complex. Numerous blood vessels combine to form a formation.
Different formations have varied power, hinting at multiple marvelous uses.
"But this makes the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique’s complexity likely to surge more than a hundredfold compared to the Foundation Establishment Stage."
Ning Zhuo secretly speculated, considering this possibility quite significant.
"Even if given ample time, I can deduce some content of the subsequent techniques."
Ning Zhuo’s Array Realm is already sufficient. He has another significant assistance—the Luoshu Book Pages.
With its assistance, Ning Zhuo’s deduction ability skyrockets by more than a hundredfold!
"Of course, the original Demon-infused Bloodline Technique may not follow this route. It’s best to return to Fire Persimmon Immortal City and obtain the true original from the Dharma Transmission Bell."
"In this regard, I am not in a hurry."
Ning Zhuo is currently only in the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage, with the subsequent techniques not yet fully cultivated.
Relying on his foundation, he can already continue creating within the Foundation Establishment techniques.
This is how cultivation techniques are created.
Profound realms and skills propel cultivators to innovate continuously, contributing their effort to the flourishing age of cultivation.
However, the elders of the Three Sects are great Refining Void level powers. If conditions allow, Ning Zhuo would certainly follow their pioneering thoughts for a more secure and promising path.
The benefits of the Luoshu Book Pages go beyond deducting and creating techniques.
When comprehending the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique, Ning Zhuo also uses the Luoshu Book Pages.
The blood vessel construction methods recorded in the technique are immense. The seven that Ning Zhuo primarily practices are just his selected focus.
For the rest of the construction methods, Ning Zhuo needs to memorize them all.
The Luoshu Book Pages assist Ning Zhuo in calculations, enabling him to quickly grasp the inner logic of unfamiliar structures. This makes Ning Zhuo’s understanding and memorization more efficient.
Currently, both Ning Zhuo’s upper and middle two dantians have unusual phenomenon seed talismans and have formed the Lifebound Talisman. Only his lower dantian is lagging, still at the Dantian Shines stage.
Only after Ning Zhuo fully comprehends the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique and condenses the Lifebound Talisman can his Three Elixir Fields advance in unison, overall enhancing his cultivation level.
"If I focused solely on mastering one school, I might have reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage or even the peak level by now."
No help for it.
This is the path Ning Zhuo chose himself. Cultivating the Three Elixir Fields simultaneously results in a stronger foundation but demands more time and energy.
Ning Zhuo must find more time for advancements in other areas.
He retrieved the Fetal Breathing Spirit Boat and entered it.
The spirit boat trembled slightly, the Fetal Breathing Technique fully operating.
Heaven and Earth essence Qi flowed in from all directions, guided by the spirit boat into the young man’s entire being.
Using the spirit boat as a womb and Heaven and Earth as a mother, it nurtures the physical body, returning to its natural state.
Muscles grow, bones strengthen, skin becomes tough, organs enlarge...but the effect diminishes.
Ning Zhuo exited the Fetal Breathing Spirit Boat, observing the cracks across the boat, furrowing his brow, knowing it needs repair.
If the Fetal Breathing Spirit Boat is fully repaired, the cultivation effect will surely improve.
"Yet the improvement won’t be significant. After cultivating for a period, I’ll need to find another path for physical cultivation."
The primary cultivation technique offers continuous improvement, but Ning Zhuo’s Three Superior Sect Techniques have their strengths, providing minimal enhancement to the body and soul.
To progress both physically and spiritually, Ning Zhuo must seek other methods, incurring greater costs.
These costs are extremely high! Considering this, the cost-effectiveness of cultivation techniques is indeed substantial.
Ning Zhuo foresees that even if the Fetal Breathing Spirit Boat is fully repaired, it will only last a short period. And he has already found a path for physical cultivation.
That is to long-term consume Spirit Food and elixir pills.
In terms of Spirit Food, Ning Zhuo has the assistance of Chef, there’s no problem.
Chef’s dark cuisine is hard to eat but undeniably effective. Ning Zhuo eats it daily!
As for elixir pills, Ning Zhuo is relatively inadequate.
"Next, I need to improve in this area!" Ning Zhuo has already instructed Chen San to gather intelligence on alchemy trial updates.
The repair of the Fetal Breathing Spirit Boat must also be done by him. Only a cultivator proficient in the Fetal Breathing Technique can undertake this task. Careless refining is not an option.
"Sigh, there’s never enough time."
For Ning Zhuo, time is eternally insufficient!
After completing physical cultivation, he begins cultivating his soul.
Cold Bone Moon Dew Wine, the liquid is a translucent silver-gray with a layer of pale moonlight at the surface.
Nine Springs Resting Incense, the incense stick is thin and lean like a withered branch, its surface dark purple, emitting a scent of decaying soil mixed with cool, damp white plum.
Hungry Ghost Retribution Cauldron, a bronze three-footed two-eared large cauldron, the body covered with copper rust, where rust forms vague scenes of ghosts devouring one another.
Underworld Punishment Book, an iron-cloaked book with iron-leaf pages, the cover dark as night, the pages made of thousand forged cold iron, glowing with a faint green light.
These are the Four Soul Cultivation Treasures of White Paper Immortal City.
With the enhanced physical foundation, Ning Zhuo can already bear the souls of a million humans. Recently, Ning Zhuo has been restarting soul cultivation.
His soul foundation is surging fiercely again!
The speed is much faster than that of the physical body.
Therefore, to avoid the previous predicament where the soul weighed on the body, Ning Zhuo must also enhance the cultivation speed of his physical body.
Zhaoyao Peak.
Xiao Juxia mingled within the crowd, reaching the peak.
The Master of Zhaoyao Peak excels at crafting various banners and loves collecting them. Throughout his peak, every few hundred steps, there’s a banner inserted. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
There are Cloud Gathering Banners, Dust Avoidance Banners, Thunder-Attracting Banners, Flowing Wind Banners, Position Changing Banners, and others in diverse types and numerous quantities.
"The first stage of this trial is to repair the various banners on the mountain."
"Once time is up, the top one hundred scores will advance to the next stage."
The cultivator hosting this trial announced loudly.
Following this, the trial officially began, with many cultivators flocking out to seize the time to locate and repair the banners.
Unlike these hurried cultivators, Xiao Juxia walked leisurely and composedly.
He held utmost confidence in his ability in artifact refining.
After slightly repairing two banners, Xiao Juxia gained insights.
"To sew together the banner, one must first find the right material. Only if matched, can the repair continue."
"The flagpole is often hollow, and if too forceful during repair, it might directly snap, causing more severe damage."
"Among the banners here, there are Position Changing Banners. Meaning, the current locations differ from the original; thus, exploring the formation here and pondering the Master of Zhaoyao Peak’s intentions is needed before placing the repaired banner back to its most suitable position!"
