Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 481 - 261: Longevity Skill Breaks Through to Minor Achievement; Reviving the Withered Tree_2
Seeing this scene, Xu Ping nodded with satisfaction and strode towards the secret chamber.
Upon entering the chamber, the stone door closed automatically, and the room fell into a deep silence.
Xu Ping sat cross-legged on the stone bed, his expression calm, yet his thoughts began to race, silently organizing the gains from this journey.
This outing was indeed quite fruitful.
The anticipated third-grade puppet materials, lava spirit marrow, and other precious items were all smoothly collected.
Not only that, he also gained an unexpected surprise—the runes and that mysterious withered wood.
For Xu Ping, the value of these two unexpected treasures was immeasurable.
Although he was eager to study these two things immediately, he restrained himself.
At present, the most crucial thing was undoubtedly to consume the Nine-leaf Dragon Saliva Mushroom to propel the "Longevity Skill" towards a breakthrough.
"Whew!"
Xu Ping took a deep breath, then began to operate his mana to regulate his state.
After a day, Xu Ping adjusted his condition to its peak and then swallowed the Nine-leaf Dragon Saliva Mushroom in one gulp.
In an instant, a powerful and warm surge of medicinal energy exploded within him, rushing everywhere like a furious torrent.
He immediately activated the "Longevity Skill," guiding this medicinal energy to flow along specific meridian routes and begin refinement.
As the medicinal power of the Nine-leaf Dragon Saliva Mushroom was gradually absorbed in his body, the proficiency of the "Longevity Skill" increased in a slow yet resolute manner.
In the tranquil secret chamber, time seemed to lose its meaning, and only Xu Ping was immersed in the world where cultivation technique and medicinal power intertwined.
...
He didn’t know how much time had passed.
Finally.
At a moment difficult to precisely perceive, the "Longevity Skill" broke through to a Minor Achievement stage.
In an instant, an exceedingly powerful pull erupted from Xu Ping’s body, like a deep whirlpool, releasing endless gravitational force.
This pull caused countless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to surge towards him like rushing tides from all directions.
The originally serene air became dynamic, with particles of Spiritual Qi glowing in radiant colors, dancing and leaping in the atmosphere.
The Longevity Skill worked like a high-speed machine, independently absorbing and refining the abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Once the Spiritual Qi entered Xu Ping’s body, it flowed along specific meridian routes, continuously tempering and enhancing his body and mana.
This process continued as Xu Ping maintained a focused state, allowing the Spiritual Qi to rampage and merge within him.
His consciousness seemed isolated from the outside world, fully immersed in his own cultivation realm.
The concentration of Spiritual Qi around him became increasingly thick, filling the chamber with dense fog, making it difficult to see inside.
After an unknown amount of time, the tide-like surge of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi finally began to recede, like ebbing seawater, gradually returning to tranquility.
Xu Ping slowly opened his eyes, excitement and surprise shining in his gaze.
"Is the benefit from the Minor Achievement breakthrough of the Longevity Skill too advantageous?"
He had thought that breaking through to Minor Achievement in the Longevity Skill would benefit him, but he hadn’t expected it to be this significant.
Xu Ping eagerly opened the proficiency panel, rows of clear data came into view:
[Name: Xu Ping]
[Lifespan: 135/1160 years]
[Realm: Early Stage Golden Core: 17/100; Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill Level 4: 1/100]
[Cultivation Technique: Minor Achievement Longevity Skill (Golden Core Chapter): 59/800]
...
"Lifespan increased by 79 years, realm increased by 6 points."
Seeing the display on the data panel, Xu Ping couldn’t help but smile.
The lifespan increase was within expectations, but the realm growth was somewhat surprising.
A 6-point realm increase roughly equated to two years of arduous cultivation for him.
He hadn’t expected that in the moment of the Longevity Skill’s breakthrough, it would attract a flood of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which indeed delighted him.
However, this wasn’t the most surprising thing for Xu Ping.
"Whew!"
Xu Ping took a deep breath and his gaze slowly fell upon the crystal stone embedded in the stone wall for illumination.
He stretched out his right hand, reaching out in the air towards the direction of the crystal stone.
In an instant.
Countless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi seemed to follow some summons, swaying and quickly gathering in the void, morphing into a vivid spiritual energy hand.
Crack!
The next moment, the spiritual energy hand transformed from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi actually directly crushed the crystal stone embedded in the stone wall.
Immediately, all the crystal stone fragments scattered across the ground, emitting crisp sounds in the silent chamber.
"Hahaha... It really is control over Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!!!"
Seeing this scene, Xu Ping could no longer hold back his inner excitement and laughed wildly, wantonly expressing his emotions.
To know, control over Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is a capability mastered only by a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
The difference between a Golden Core Cultivator and a Nascent Soul Cultivator, aside from aspects like mana and lifespan, the control over Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is a crucial factor.
Even the strongest mana of a cultivator pales in comparison to the boundless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Whereas a Nascent Soul True Monarch can control Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, combining it with their own mana to showcase power far exceeding their own mana reserves.
This also highlights the vast difference in capabilities between Golden Core Cultivators and Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
Even in ancient times, a Nascent Soul True Monarch was considered a high-level cultivator. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"Calm down, calm down!"
Xu Ping took several deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.
Although he indeed has mastered the ability to control Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, compared to a genuine Nascent Soul Cultivator, both the quantity and scope are far inferior.
