In the closed-door cultivation room, Lin Chen sat like an ancient statue.
The surrounding spiritual energy was like thick mist, swirling around and not dissipating. Every wisp of spiritual energy was like a lively sprite, leaping and flashing, seemingly waiting to be absorbed and integrated by Lin Chen.
Lin Chen took a deep breath, a breath that seemed capable of stirring up all the spiritual energy in the entire space.
He slowly extended his hand, holding the immortal ore gifted by Tongtian and the pill given by Laozi.
The pill was round and crystal clear, like a brilliant pearl, emitting a soft halo. It seemed to contain endless vitality, as if a gentle touch could make one feel the vigorous power of life.
The immortal ore had clear textures, with Geng Metal energy faintly visible, escaping in wisps, as if whispering its extraordinary nature. That Geng Metal energy carried a sharp yet resilient aura, as if it could penetrate all obstacles.
Without the slightest hesitation, he placed the Immortal Pill into his mouth.
The moment the pill entered his mouth, it instantly transformed into a warm current, like a stream melting ice and snow in spring, sliding down his throat and directly reaching his Dantian.
At the same time, he quickly circulated the Shangqing Immortal Method. The Cultivation Technique flowed rapidly in his mind, like a precise instrument, guiding the spiritual energy within his body towards the Geng Metal energy in the immortal ore.
As the Cultivation Technique circulated, the Geng Metal energy, like a tamed beast that was originally violent and elusive, now slowly integrated into his Meridians, intermingling with the medicinal power of the Immortal Pill.
In an instant, a surging wave of spiritual energy was stirred up within his body. The waves came one after another, continuously impacting every corner of his body, as if to completely reshape it.
Time quietly flowed, like a silent traveler, witnessing Lin Chen's cultivation in silence.
The spiritual energy inside the closed-door cultivation room became increasingly dense, almost reaching a tangible state. With every breath, Lin Chen could feel the spiritual energy surging into his body like a tide.
His aura also gradually became stronger and more stable under the nourishment of this power.
He could feel his Meridians constantly expanding and toughening under the impact of this power. The originally narrow Meridians now became wide and elastic, like surging rivers, capable of accommodating more spiritual energy.
His Dantian was also slowly expanding, as if to accommodate endless spiritual energy, becoming increasingly profound, like a vast Universe filled with mysterious power.
Starting from the True Immortal mid-stage, his Realm steadily improved. Each circulation of spiritual energy was like climbing a towering peak, difficult yet full of hope.
The Immortal Pill refined by Laozi was indeed miraculous. That nourishing spiritual energy was like nimble sprites, happily shuttling between his Meridians, continuously challenging the limits of his body, pushing him step by step towards the Profound Immortal Realm.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, a light that seemed capable of penetrating all the fog in the world.
He opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of turbid air. The turbid air coiled out like a dragon, dissipating in the air, carrying the Impurities and fatigue from his body.
"What a pity, I still haven't broken through to Profound Immortal!"
He murmured softly, with a trace of regret in his voice.
But he knew in his heart that breaking through a major Realm was by no means easy. It was like crossing a natural chasm, requiring great effort and time.
He had already made full psychological preparations for this, so he didn't feel disappointed.
Of course, originally according to his guess, he should have smoothly broken through when the Immortal Pill and the Geng Metal energy in the immortal ore were exhausted.
However, reality was not like that. The reason for this was that his degree of control over the Duo Bao Pagoda had increased to forty percent, and his Nymph Root had also grown to forty percent accordingly.
The cultivation rule of the Honghuang World is like this: the stronger the Nymph Root, the greater the difficulty of cultivation, and the more resources are needed. But once cultivated to a certain Realm, the foundation and strength will far exceed Cultivators of the same Realm.
Although this discovery hindered his path to Breakthrough, it did not shake Lin Chen's determination to continue exploring and collecting magical treasures in the slightest.
Since he had transmigrated to this Honghuang World, he was determined to stand at the apex of the world and would never be content with merely sitting in meditation, cultivating behind closed doors.
Walking out of his room, Lin Chen turned his head to look at Duobao's closed-door cultivation room, pondering inwardly.
Duobao's Realm is higher, and his Nymph Root is also stronger. The improvement that one Immortal Pill and immortal ore would bring to Duobao would probably be even smaller than it was for himself.
At this moment, Duobao is likely still far from coming out of seclusion.
Therefore, Lin Chen did not stay any longer. He stood up and performed the Cloud Stepping technique.
This Cloud Stepping technique is one of the immortal methods recorded in the Shangqing Immortal Method. Any Cultivation Technique will record similar basic methods to ensure that Cultivators can master some basic skills, such as cloud riding, casting fire and rain, controlling water and air, or externalizing spiritual energy into attacks, and so on.
Since Lin Chen has now successfully cultivated the Shangqing Immortal Method, he naturally also mastered these methods.
Lin Chen quickly formed seals with his hands, chanting incantations. A powerful spiritual energy surged from his body, condensing into a pure white auspicious cloud beneath his feet.
Lin Chen stepped onto the auspicious cloud and floated out of the closed-door cultivation room, leaving their dojo.
Although this Cloud Stepping technique is practical, it is slightly insufficient for Cultivators above the Profound Immortal Realm.
Lin Chen is currently stuck before the barrier of breaking through to Profound Immortal, and the limitations of this basic immortal method are also one of the reasons.
Profound Immortal Cultivators are different from True Immortals. They need to master more divine abilities and dao methods, and through the profound mysteries of creation contained in these dao methods, enhance their self-understanding, in order to further impact the higher Golden Immortal Realm.
Lin Chen knew that he still had a considerable gap to reach this step, but he wasn't overly worried at the moment, only focusing on the present.
He stepped on the Celebration Cloud and leisurely toured the vast Kunlun Immortal Mountain.
As expected, this Kunlun Immortal Mountain was indeed a top-tier blessed land.
The Three Pure Ones had cultivated here since the beginning of the heavens and earth, but they focused on closed-door cultivation and rarely collected treasures from the mountain.
Coupled with the Three Pure Ones' pressure, ordinary beings did not dare to stay here, allowing many treasures to remain, and their age was extremely high.
Lin Chen looked around and saw hundred-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum growing in the mountains. The Ganoderma lucidum was as large as an umbrella canopy, emitting auspicious light, as if telling him stories of time.
There were also five-hundred-thousand-year-old Blood Spirit Flowers. The petals were as vibrant as fresh blood, dripping with beauty, emitting a mysterious aura, seemingly hiding endless mysteries.
In a valley, he also discovered a Low Grade magical treasure, the Vine Fan. The patterns on the Vine Fan were ancient and mysterious. This fan contained the power of plants and could be used to Cultivate Nymph Roots. Of course, since it was only a Low Grade Acquired magical treasure.
So, this effect could only be considered barely sufficient.
But the light of excitement still flickered in Lin Chen's eyes. He knew that his journey of exploration had just begun, and there must be more surprises hidden in this Kunlun Immortal Mountain waiting for him to discover.
