It was eight o 'clock at night, and the lights were on everywhere.
Jiangnan Province, Qingshui City, Qingxi Villa District, Mansion Number One.
"Tie Xiaohu, we have to get more dog blood this time. There are still a few Healing Talismans left. Use them after you're done collecting the dog blood!"
After dinner, Ling Yun and Tie Xiaohu were making talisman ink in the villa. Ling Yun was going to make talismans like crazy that night.
Ling Yun had been making talisman paper from the afternoon until now. At this moment, the talisman paper on the sofa in the living room was piled up like a mountain.
If someone who didn't know better came in, they would think that they had come to a Daoist priest's place.
Tie Xiaohu was busy collecting the dog blood while Ling Yun continued to brew the medicinal herbs. After half an hour, the talisman ink was ready. Ling Yun took out the Emperor Brush from his spatial ring and prepared to start drawing talismans.
"Tie Xiaohu, you're not needed here for now. Go practice outside the courtyard. You should be able to break through to the third minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique tonight."
Tie Xiaohu responded and ran to the courtyard happily. Ling Yun held his breath and took out a piece of talisman paper. He dipped the Emperor Brush in the ink and started drawing talismans.
The entire villa was filled with spiritual energy. Ling Yun didn't care about the consumption of spiritual energy. The first thing he drew was the Fire Talisman.
Tie Xiaohu was obsessed with martial arts and was desperate to improve his cultivation. Once he arrived at the courtyard of the villa, he forgot everything else. He first practiced the Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand on the empty ground for an hour. Then, he went to the Shichiyou herb and sat down cross-legged to cultivate his Stellar Condensation Technique.
In an hour, Ling Yun drew thousands of Fire Talismans. Whenever the spiritual energy in his body was depleted, he would absorb it back to its full state. Then, he would sit down and start drawing again. In this cycle, he had actually depleted his spiritual energy three times in an hour.
It wasn't that Ling Yun couldn't absorb spiritual energy at the same time. The reason why he had to deplete his spiritual energy before absorbing it was because it was a way to speed up his cultivation.
It was just like how he first used extreme exercise to deplete the spiritual energy in his body before absorbing the Shichiyou herb's spiritual energy. It was similar in terms of cultivation effects.
Using this method, not only could he expand his Dantian, but he could also strengthen his meridians. Although the extent of each expansion was so small that it was almost imperceptible, it accumulated over time, and the effects would naturally become apparent.
He trained his body not to lose weight, but to cultivate his energy center and meridians. Therefore, his method of reabsorbing spiritual energy was the same as normal cultivation, except for the fact that he couldn't lose weight.
It seemed simple, but this was the true heaven-defying ability of Ling Yun!
As long as there was spiritual energy, as long as he was willing, he could absorb all kinds of spiritual energy essence from heaven and earth to replenish his body. The effect was the same as the internal energy or True Qi that he obtained through cultivation. How could such a method of cultivation not be fast?
Moreover, this was only one of the problems. The other problem was that Ling Yun could control the absorption of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. If he wanted to, he could absorb it. If he didn't want to, he could choose not to. Unlike Ning Lingyu, who absorbed spiritual energy passively, he actively and consciously absorbed it.
Ling Yun once again filled his body with spiritual energy, and without resting, he started drawing the Spirit Gathering Talisman.
With the help of the Emperor Brush, Ling Yun was able to draw the lowest level of the Spirit Gathering Talisman. The amount of spiritual energy that he could absorb now was about one percent of the maximum amount that he could store when he was at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Level Three.
In other words, if Ling Yun were to use all one hundred Spirit Gathering Talismans at once, he would be able to replenish all the spiritual energy in his body.
Spiritual energy was Ling Yun's life. Of course, the more the better. He drew for one and a half hours in one go. He only stopped when he ran out of talisman ink after making about 1500 Spirit Gathering Talismans.
"After entering the crater, as long as I absorb enough Dark Yin Qi, I can instantly break through to Physique Tempering Stage Four. With these 1500 Spirit Gathering Talismans, it's equivalent to having 15 more lives! This should be enough, right? "
Ling Yun bundled up the Fire Talismans and Spirit Gathering Talismans into his spatial ring. There were a hundred talismans per bundle, a total of twenty-five bundles.
"I'll have to make a few hundred more Healing Talismans later. If I encounter any monsters and get injured, I can use them to heal myself."
Ling Yun stood up as he spoke. Even if he had great endurance, he couldn't cook without rice. He had to make more talisman ink before he could start drawing talismans.
"I think I'm about to break through!"
Ling Yun was immersed in drawing talismans. Now that he was out of it, he could feel that the Stellar Condensation Technique was about to break through to the first major realm.
Ling Yun's body flickered as he arrived outside the villa. He lifted his head to look at the starry sky, feeling that the stars tonight were exceptionally bright and dazzling.
Ling Yun first glanced at Tie Xiaohu, who was sitting cross-legged beside the Shichiyou herb. He could see that Tie Xiaohu was completely immersed in his cultivation. In about an hour, he would be able to break through to the third minor realm.
Ling Yun ignored him and absorbed the abundant spiritual energy in the courtyard. He used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability and appeared beside the Shichiyou herb in a flash.
However, he didn't sit down. Instead, he stood there quietly and raised his head to look at the starry sky. He crazily activated the Stellar Condensation Technique and tried to break through to the second major realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique!
The Stellar Condensation Technique was the supreme physique tempering technique in the Cultivation World. It was divided into seven major realms and forty-nine minor realms.
The first three major realms could achieve the three effects of being invulnerable to knives and spears, being immune to poison, and being impervious to fire and water. Of course, this didn't mean that one would have to cultivate a specific technique at each level. Instead, they complemented each other.
The effects of these three areas could be said to increase with every minor realm. It was just that it wasn't as obvious.
This meant that when Ling Yun fought with the old man from Xiangxi, the old man tried to poison Ling Yun with his fingernails, but Ling Yun wasn't injured at all.
At that time, Ling Yun had already reached the fifth minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique. The old man's fingernails couldn't pierce through Ling Yun's skin at all. This was one reason. The other reason was that even if he could pierce through Ling Yun's skin, he wouldn't be able to poison Ling Yun at all.
If Ling Yun had reached the third minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique, even the current Little Gold wouldn't be able to poison Ling Yun, much less the old man from Xiangxi!
Think about it, after reaching the seventh level of the Stellar Condensation Technique, one's body would be comparable to the stars. Since it was comparable to the stars, what was there to be afraid of?
Of course, when Ling Yun reached the Tribulation Stage in the Cultivation World, he had only just reached the fifth level of the Stellar Condensation Technique. If he had reached the seventh level, he would have been able to withstand the terrifying Heaven's Tribulation with just his physical strength alone!
Even though the Stellar Condensation Technique was easy to pick up, and it was easy to cultivate the first level to the Great Perfection realm, the difficulty of every small realm in the second level was equivalent to the difficulty of cultivating the first major realm. It was extremely difficult to improve.
Not because of anything else, but because this cultivation art was truly heaven-defying. It could cultivate the human body to an existence comparable to the stars. If it was that easy, wouldn't everyone rush to cultivate it?
Ling Yun was now at the Great Perfection of the seventh minor realm. He was madly depleting the spiritual energy in his body to activate the Stellar Condensation Technique in order to break through.
He couldn't wait for the spiritual energy to be depleted before absorbing it. Instead, he absorbed the dense spiritual energy released by the Shichiyou herb at the same time to ensure that his body was filled with spiritual energy.
Even so, the Shichiyou herb had been releasing spiritual energy for an entire day. Ling Yun still managed to absorb every single drop of it. At midnight, Ling Yun felt a loud boom in his body!
It was as if every inch of muscle, every inch of bone, every drop of blood, and every cell had been smashed into smithereens. At that moment, Ling Yun felt an incredible sensation!
Even though it was only for a moment, Ling Yun could clearly feel it! It was a very real feeling of a breakthrough. Even though he couldn't use his inner vision, he could still feel it!
Ling Yun's five senses and six senses were once again raised to the next level. He could completely feel the gentle breeze brushing past the surface of his body. He could clearly sense everything within a ten-meter radius, including the growth of the tip of the grass and the sprouting of the buds. Everything was within Ling Yun's perception.
Most importantly, Ling Yun felt that his energy center had expanded once again. His meridians were more than twice as thick as before, and they were even stronger than before!
Hehe, I've broken through! This is the second major realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique! But this time, the effects seem to be much better than the first time I cultivated the Stellar Condensation Technique …
How could the effects be bad? Ling Yun had been relying on the spiritual energy from the Shichiyou herb, the Psychic Jade Box, and Ning Lingyu's innate spiritual body.
Most importantly, Ling Yun's body contained a large amount of Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Tribulation Stage. Furthermore, he had received a huge amount of Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Dragon Spiritual Energy at Tiger Cliff. Last night, he had also received a huge amount of Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Emperor Brush!
"This is f * cking awesome!" Ling Yun smiled as he leaped out of the small spirit gathering formation near the Shichiyou herb. There was no more spiritual energy for him to absorb. Now that his meridians had doubled in size, he needed to replenish a large amount of spiritual energy!
Even though Ling Yun wanted to take out the jade box that he had secretly stored a large amount of Immortal Spiritual Energy, he gritted his teeth and resisted the urge.
This was the trump card that Ling Yun kept for himself in case of any accidents. He couldn't guarantee that the Emperor Brush would continue to pour Immortal Spiritual Energy into him if his life was in danger.
Ling Yun quickly absorbed all the spiritual energy in his body and couldn't help but chuckle.
