Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Producing Medicine, Living 300 Years!
Having completed his Foundation Establishment more than half a month ago, Wang Sheng spent every day continuously managing the Qi-Blood Power within himself for the Small Circulation operation.
The Qi-Blood Power flowed through the Mud Pill Palace and gradually fused with the “Divine,” until today, when he seemed to sense something in the dark.
This is the “Medicine Production Divine Knowledge.”
As the Qi-Blood Power mixed with the “Divine” to produce medicine, one would certainly feel something at the moment the “medicine” formed.
His body naturally straightened, his spirit felt clear and refreshed, and the inside of his Dantian was warm as if it could drive away all harsh cold. The fusion between the “Divine” and Qi-Blood Power grew even closer, clinging to each other like magnets, challenging to separate.
Indeed, in a state of internal reflection, Wang Sheng could see a small Medicine Embryo that had already formed beneath the Dantian.
…
The Medicine Embryo was very small, resembling a tiny speck of light, like a delicate seed that could be easily crushed.
This seed was the beginning of the Inner Core Skill, and with this, one truly embarks on the path to immortality.
It was also at this moment that Wang Sheng felt a peculiar change taking place within his body and “Divine,” as if his Essence Qi and spirit had reached an unprecedented sublimation.
Foundation Establishment made his body flawless, and the Medicine Embryo imbued him with vigorous vitality.
He knew that the most significant aspect of his cultivation practice, the thing he valued the most, had come—
Lifespan!
His lifespan had been greatly increased!
Even before this, the continuous enhancement of his Qi-Blood Power had already greatly improved his physical fitness, making his lifespan far exceed that of an ordinary person.
But it was not until the formation of the Medicine Embryo that such a clear, sensible increase occurred.
“A lifespan of 300 years!”
This was Wang Sheng’s own feeling, as well as the cumulative result of the lifespan increased by the enhancement of Qi-Blood Power and physical fitness, added to the lifespan increase augmented by the Medicine Embryo.
300 years is by no means a small number!
Even in modern times, ordinary people who live into their seventies or eighties are considered to have long lives, while those who reach ninety or even over a hundred are remarked upon for their longevity.
In ancient times, 300 years could witness the rise and fall of a dynasty, the cycle of ten or twenty generations of people.
Even in a world with powerful individuals, 300 years is the lifespan of a Great Grandmaster.
While Wang Sheng’s martial prowess may not yet match that of the top Great Grandmasters, in terms of lifespan, he was already nearly equivalent.
And this was just the beginning. As he continued with the practice of Refining Essence to Qi, his lifespan would continue to increase. Though it might not be as dramatic as the first increase, it was still considerably substantial.
And it was certain that his lifespan would far surpass that of a Great Grandmaster’s realm, even the Master of Destiny might not compare. And this was just from Refining Essence to Qi.
“Without realizing it, I have already stepped onto the path of immortality!”
The entrance to the Immortal Path, lifespan, is the greatest attraction.
Yet for Wang Sheng, lifespan was only part of the improvement; with the fusion of Qi-Blood Power and the “Divine,” his strength had also been elevated once more.
Half a month’s time, two instances of strength enhancement.
This was normal.
Pure Inner Core Skill alone would not suffice; in the early stages of its practice, it doesn’t hold significant combat power, only later does it wield true might.
But Wang Sheng’s path in the Inner Core Skill had been different right from the start.
His foundation for Inner Core Skill began with using Qi-Blood Power as the base.
Needless to say, the Qi-Blood Power in this world is incredibly miraculous, possessing not only immense destructive power but also the ability to rapidly heal the Martial Artist’s own injuries, meaning it has a potent recovery ability as well.
Such power was akin to a cure-all.
He, too, leveraged this power as his Essence Qi.
With the aid of the progression bar, this method did not fail, successfully cultivating Inner Core Skill with Qi-Blood Power.
Both Qi Rushing to the Disease and River Carriage Operation had been completed smoothly.
For this reason, Wang Sheng not only possessed the lifespan of Inner Core Skill but also the powerful destructive force of a Martial Artist.
After the fusion of “Qi Blood Power” and “divine” forces, the nature of his Qi-Blood Power underwent even more peculiar changes.
Qi-Blood power continually merged into the Medicine Embryo, allowing it to grow and become a true great body-enhancing medicine.
This process seemed as though the Qi-Blood power needed to constantly diminish, but in reality, Wang Sheng could still invoke all of his Qi-Blood power, and he found it even easier to control.
Before, condensing the blood-colored longbow required his utmost concentration and focus.
Now, he could casually condense one, with effortless ease.
And—
Wang Sheng condensed it, and fired an arrow with minimal force toward a fist-sized rock on the ground dozens of meters away.
He hit the target precisely!
The rock turned into powder as expected.
“Indeed, this already has a certain tracking effect, doesn’t it?”
With a rock that far away, he could have demolished it before, but it would have been through a wide range of impact, definitely not this precise.
But because of the combination of Qi-Blood power and “divine” power, now when he employed his Qi-Blood power for long-range attacks, he could manipulate them to a certain extent.
This was somewhat similar to Sword Control.
Of course, since his “divine” power was still weak at the moment, this control effect was almost non-existent, only useful for short distances.
“It’s a meager ability at the moment!”
To put it simply, it was full of potential, but currently, it was virtually ineffective.
However, this also proved that Wang Sheng’s Qi-Blood power had indeed changed, inheriting the strengths of the original Qi-Blood power while giving birth to new characteristics.
Therefore, Wang Sheng’s strength had been somewhat enhanced.
And this enhancement would become more pronounced with each level he ascended.
All in all, many benefits!
After running through the cycle once more, Wang Sheng concluded his cultivation.
He had already crossed the most important threshold; what followed was a need for prolonged cultivation to solidify the Medicine Embryo into a true minor medicine.
There was no need to rush the following steps; he could proceed slowly, letting everything fall into place naturally.
Da Bai had been standing guard under Wang Sheng’s orders all this time.
Seeing Wang Sheng stand up, it no longer felt the terrifying aura that had previously surrounded him.
But its instincts told it that Wang Sheng had become even more formidable and stronger to provoke.
It used to easily suppress it, now it was even easier, or rather, there was no need for suppression; the aura emanating from Wang Sheng’s body made it unconsciously draw closer.
“Roar~”
If it hadn’t been unable to learn how to meow, it would have meowed high and low a couple of times.
“Do you want more pills?”
Wang Sheng thought Da Bai was asking for Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills, so he took out a few and handed them over.
“Eat up, you’ve had so many of my pills, and yet you almost lost to the Wolf King last time; show some spirit!”
“Roar~”
Even though it got the pills, it needed to clarify that in the end, the Wolf King was the one who had fled; what did he mean by ‘almost lost’? Clearly, it had won in the end.
But the pills still needed to be consumed!
It devoured the pills.
It wouldn’t be long, it was building up slowly for a rapid burst of growth; just a little more accumulation, and it would become stronger.
Wang Sheng, on the other hand, said, “Enjoy your meal, I’m going for a stroll!”
Having made progress in his cultivation, he decided to give himself a day of relaxation…
