Chapter 84: Two Magical Skills of the Immortal Stone Fragment More than a month ago, Xiao Changqing had been very cautious since he got the mysterious jade from Mu Renjie. There was no rash action to try to refine it, or to try to add it to the inventory. Caution is the boat. This thing is so evil that it caused Mu Renjie, a foundation-building cultivator, to completely degenerate. He lost his nature and became like a walking corpse. If Xiao Changqing accidentally gets caught by trying anything, he will regret it. So he waited until now, when he had enough evil-breaking talismans and calming talismans to ensure that even if the evil power in the mysterious jade was not completely eliminated or revived, Xiao Changqing would be able to suppress it in time before he prepared to study what this thing was. The jade was placed in the middle of the table, and talismans were piled up on all sides. As long as Xiao Changqing thinks about it, the talisman can be activated instantly. Take a deep breath, stretch out your right hand, and slowly cover the jade. hum! Xiao Changqing's body shook and he looked surprised.
“It can really be equipped!” A familiar feeling came over me, and as soon as I thought about it, the shadow of the mysterious jade appeared on the system, and all the information about the jade was also listed. [Eternal Life Stone Fragment (Netherworld Holy Stone)] [A strange object from outside the domain, suspected to be related to the origin and birth of evil spirits. It is rumored that this object contains the secret of longevity. It was once a holy stone in the eyes of evil cultivators. If it can be completely integrated and the secret inside can be unlocked, there is hope that it can lead to longevity! In the Middle Ages, countless powerful evil cultivators died because of this. They wanted to refine this stone as an external body, but in the end they were refined into walking corpses. Nowadays, among the evil cultivators of the Demon Sect, this object has been abandoned and considered to be an ominous object, and all of them have been sealed. Only a few extreme evil cultivators still have fantasies about this object...] [Equipment requirements: Foundation Establishment Stage] [Equipment Effect: Incomplete version of the Body Art, Nightmare Art] Looking at the introduction of the system, Xiao Changqing was surprised and shocked at the same time. Because the information was too much and too overwhelming, he was unable to react for a moment. Fragments of the Immortality Stone? When Xiao Changqing heard this name, his imagination ran wild. What is the ultimate pursuit of immortal cultivators? Nothing more than eternal life. Afterwards, he read the introduction about this jade, and found that it was full of knowledge blind spots that he had never come across before. Not only him, but also the cognition of most cultivators. At least in Nanshanfang, no one has ever heard of the legend about the stone of immortality. Even Gong Wansheng, the core genius disciple of Luoxia Sect, seemed to be unclear about the origin of this jade and wanted to take it back to the sect for research. "Exotic object from outside the domain? Does it mean that this jade is not from Dayu, or is it not from the entire cultivation world?" Xiao Changqing couldn't help but marvel in his heart. Although he had never left Nanshanfang during these years since he traveled through time, he could still buy a lot of information about the customs and culture of the world of immortal cultivation at any stall in the market by spending a few spiritual sands. It not only includes the immortal world of Dayu, but also provides many introductions to other vast areas. Therefore, Xiao Changqing knew very well that the Dayu Immortal Cultivation World was just an inconspicuous Immortal Cultivation Kingdom in the Endless Continent. Surrounding the immortal cultivation world of Dayu, there are immortal cultivation kingdoms such as Dayue and Dali, whose strength and territory are no weaker than Dayu.
"Does this piece of jade really contain the secret of immortality? Or is it just the evil cultivator's wishful thinking?" Looking at this introduction, it is not difficult to understand that in the Middle Ages, countless evil cultivators became zombies because they wanted to refine jade. We can see something from Mu Renjie's condition at the time. Mu Renjie wanted to use this mysterious jade to rival a Jindan Zhenren, but his strength was greatly enhanced, but he himself fell into the state of being neither human nor ghost. Even his self-consciousness was almost annihilated, and he became a completely different person. "So, Mu Renjie was able to obtain this jade stone and became like that, most likely because of the evil cultivator's conspiracy? His goal was to take over Nanshanfang without any effort?" Xiao Changqing guessed in his heart. If it weren't for this incident, Nanshanfang would have been in great danger. Even though the Luoxia Sect was prepared and secretly arranged for Gong Wansheng to come and check the situation, they were no match for Mu Renjie. By that time, all the foundation-building cultivators in Nanshanfang will be slaughtered, and it will be much easier for the evil cultivators to invade Nanshanfang than to invade Yinye Peak. "I didn't expect that it would be a good deal for me in the end." "It is this fragment of the Immortality Stone. It requires the Foundation Establishment Stage to equip it." After looking at the brief introduction of the effects of the two equipment, Xiao Changqing became impatient. An incomplete version of the technique of having a second body, although its specific effect is still unknown. But in Xiao Changqing's opinion, this incomplete version is just right! If it were a complete version, he would not dare to use it! Because the complete version of the external body technique that comes with the Longevity Stone is like Xiao Changqing, who has the strength of a Jindan Zhenren in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, which is almost equivalent to the external alchemy technique. The increase in strength is extremely exaggerated. Moreover, this spell can be advanced. Even for a Jindan Zhenren or Yuanying Zhenjun, practicing this will be of great help. But the corresponding price is being haunted by evil spirits, becoming a walking corpse, knowing only to kill and losing yourself. Now the 'incomplete version of the body' extracted by the system, according to a simple introduction, directly erases the cost! In other words, after Xiao Changqing builds his foundation, he will no longer be in danger of being haunted by evil spirits when using the body incarnation, only benefits! of course. Without the cost of side effects, the corresponding power will be weakened. As for how much the weakening will be, Xiao Changqing doesn't know yet. But even if it is weakened, he won't be like Mu Renjie who can be comparable to a Jindan Zhenren in the early stage of foundation building, but it shouldn't be a big problem to improve his strength by one or two levels, right? As for the second skill, 'Nightmare'. According to the simple introduction of the system, Xiao Changqing was also surprised. It was also a "magic skill"! Because this is also a secret art concerning the spirit and soul. And unlike the 'Dragon Chant Technique' of the Dragon Prison Bracelet, the Nightmare Technique can not only launch spiritual attacks, but also continuously sharpen one's own soul! In other words, this is a secret technique of the soul that combines both attack and tempering! In terms of preciousness, Nightmare Technique is slightly higher than Dragon Roar Technique! The means of attacking the soul are very important, but strengthening and sharpening the soul are equally important.
This is because cultivators go against the will of heaven. After they have established their foundation, every major breakthrough in their realm, such as the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stage, requires them to overcome tribulations. The tribulation that one has to endure includes the tribulation of the inner demon! The inner demon calamity is extremely terrifying, even more difficult to survive than ordinary calamities. For many gifted cultivators, the bottlenecks and hurdles of forming the elixir and the Nascent Soul stage may not be particularly difficult for them, but if they are not careful, they will all fall into the calamity of the inner demon. "Fortunately... Fortunately, this piece of jade was not given to Gong Wansheng to take away." "This is simply a late-stage artifact! If you miss it, you will regret it!" After watching it, Xiao Changqing was in a very good mood. Although it’s a little regrettable that I need to wait until the foundation is successfully built before I can officially equip and use the two magical skills, I’m not in a hurry. If it were other Qi Refining Realm cultivators in Nanshanfang, building the foundation might be an insurmountable chasm for them, a shackle that is difficult to break through. The treasures of the Foundation Building Realm are too far away, and they don’t know if they can use them in this lifetime. But Xiao Changqing is different. With his current qualifications of "Earth Spiritual Roots", success in building the foundation is almost a foregone conclusion. In the next one or two years, as long as he can find a way to get a foundation-building pill, he can prepare to build his foundation. "Seize the time to practice!" "The spiritual vein level of Jiayi Cave is so high that I can practice with half the effort. If I can get another year, I will be able to achieve the Great Perfection of Qi Refining." Xiao Changqing put the fragments of the Longevity Stone back into the storage bag, and at the same time did not forget to cover the storage bag with a bunch of evil-breaking talismans and calming talismans, and then began to practice with full enthusiasm. Three months had passed since he broke through the ninth level of Qi Refining. But Xiao Changqing estimated that his accumulation was still a long way from the bottleneck of the ninth level of Qi Refining. Logically speaking, after he upgraded his spiritual roots to earth spiritual roots, his cultivation speed would not be so slow. After all, it only took him one year to go from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining. But after investigation, Xiao Changqing found that it was not because his cultivation speed had slowed down. Rather, it was the change in his 'essence' that the Earth Spiritual Root brought to him. If Xiao Changqing only had a top-grade spiritual root, or a middle-to-lower-grade spiritual root, the strength of his mana and soul would have already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and had reached a bottleneck, and could not be improved at all. If you want to go further, the only way is to build a foundation. But now, Xiao Changqing's magic power and soul can still continue to grow and become stronger. "My current soul strength, without the blessing of the Dragon Prison Bracelet skill, has already reached the point where it can be extended to 15 meters. This is already 50% higher than the average ninth level of Qi Refining." "According to my feeling, when I truly cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, the strength of my soul may reach a distance of 17 or 18 meters! It is nearly twice as strong as most cultivators!" "The mana is not that high, but it is still about 40% to 50%." Xiao Changqing was thinking in his mind. Perhaps this is why the success rate of foundation building for cultivators with earth spiritual roots is almost 100%, and even without foundation building pills, there is a great probability of success in foundation building. With such powerful magic power and such strong spiritual awareness, the difficulty of building the foundation will naturally be reduced.
"Om~" Just when Xiao Changqing was concentrating on his training, he was interrupted by a sudden vibration from the formation in the training room. It’s Lin Ziyu outside. "come in." Xiao Changqing stopped practicing and restrained all the surging magic power. The surging spiritual energy in the training room also returned to calm. When he was practicing, Lin Ziyu was usually very tactful and would not disturb him. Unless there is something special or urgent. Soon, Lin Ziyu walked into the room, and said with a troubled look in his eyes, "Master, there is someone outside the cave who wants to see you and wants your help..." ~ ps: I will try to code it out early tonight so I won’t stay up too late~ (End of this chapter)
