Ling Yun didn't stay too long at Yao Rou's place. He returned to Mansion Number One around midnight to absorb the power of the moon and the billions of stars in an attempt to break through to the third major realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique.
God was on his side. The weather was unusually good these few days. Even though tomorrow was the Dragon Boat Festival and the moon wasn't out yet, the Milky Way shone brightly. The power of billions of stars gathered in Ling Yun's body, allowing his Stellar Condensation Technique to improve further.
The next day, the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, China's Dragon Boat Festival arrived. However, Ling Yun wasn't in the mood to celebrate it. He returned to Mansion Number Nine at Qingshui Wharf and brought Bai Xianer back to Qingshui City early in the morning.
Today was the day the Shichiyou Herb ripened. Ling Yun would go into seclusion when it matured. He didn't want anyone to disturb him. Only Bai Xianer could protect him.
Under Ling Yun's persuasion, Xue Meining left Mansion Number One reluctantly and returned to her own home. Of course, Miao Xiaomiao accompanied her.
Ling Yun instructed Tang Meng and Yao Rou to buy groceries and cook for Bai Xianer on time. After that, he let them leave Mansion Number One.
Noon came, and the sun shone brightly. Ling Yun and Bai Xianer stood beside the Shichiyou Herb, waiting for it to ripen.
"Xian Er, when the Shichiyou Herb ripens, I'll remove the spirit gathering formation around it. Then, I'll go into seclusion there …"
Ling Yun pointed to a patch of grass in the distance. That was the center of the Shichiyou Herb and Dragon Saliva Herb. He had already set up the spirit gathering formation there.
"You have to create an illusion formation to separate me from the outside world. Don't let ordinary people see that I'm in seclusion, understand?"
"Xian Er understands …" Bai Xianer nodded obediently.
"Also, I'll be in seclusion for at least nine to twelve days. I won't stand up, and don't let anyone disturb me. No matter what happens, you can look for Aunty, Tang Meng, and Tie Xiaohu to handle it. If anyone dares to trespass Mansion Number One, kill them without mercy!
"At noon seven days later, the spiritual energy of the Shichiyou herb will be completely released. You have to follow my instructions and carefully collect the entire Shichiyou herb. Don't let it wither. I still have a use for it."
After the Shichiyou Herb matured, it could only survive for seven days. If the spiritual energy was released and no one collected it, it would definitely wither and die. If that was the case, Ling Yun would not be able to refine the Shichiyou Pill.
"Xian 'er understands!"
At around one in the afternoon, when the sun was at its brightest, the Shichiyou Herb finally matured completely. Ling Yun collected five bottles of spiritual liquid and stored them all in his spatial ring.
Ling Yun destroyed the small Spirit Gathering Formation around the Shichiyou Herb and didn't let He Yuping go. That was because all the spiritual energy released by the Shichiyou Herb for the next seven days would be absorbed into his body to cultivate the Divine Yang Cultivation Technique. At the same time, he would be breaking through to Physique Tempering Stage Nine.
The moment the Shichiyou herb ripened, it released spiritual energy that was ten times thicker than before. In an instant, the entire Mansion Number One was filled with spiritual energy, more than ever before!
However, the strong spiritual energy was like a stream of air, slowly gathering towards the new Spirit Gathering Formation that Ling Yun had set up.
Ling Yun knew that there was no time to lose. He said to Bai Xianer, "Set up the Illusion Formation!" With that, he sat cross-legged in the middle of the Spirit Gathering Formation.
Bai Xianer's graceful and unparalleled figure shuttled back and forth in Mansion Number One. Her two slender and fair palms drew mysterious and inexplicable trajectories, setting up arrays one after another.
Ling Yun sat in the middle of the Spirit Gathering Formation. He took out all the metal spiritual stones and fire spiritual stones that he had plundered from Qingshui City's Antique Market and placed them around his body.
To cultivate the Divine Yang Cultivation Technique, one could only absorb metal spiritual energy, fire spiritual energy, and pure Yang Qi! He couldn't absorb any other spiritual energy. For this reason, he had already set up several Spirit Gathering Formations around the Earth Yin Grass to prevent the Yin Qi from leaking out!
Dragon Spiritual Energy naturally belonged to the category of Yang Qi. Therefore, Ling Yun took out the mysterious gourd, thinking that he could drink the dragon saliva if it wasn't enough.
Fifteen jade boxes filled with spiritual liquids and five jade bottles filled with spiritual liquids were placed in front of Ling Yun. They were within his reach, and he could drink them as he pleased.
This showed how much pure Yang Qi was needed to cultivate the Divine Yang Cultivation Technique. Ling Yun had just started cultivating it, and this was only the first minor realm of the Divine Yang Cultivation Technique.
Ling Yun checked his surroundings to make sure that he didn't miss anything. He then calmed himself down and started cultivating the Divine Yang Cultivation Technique.
This time, Ling Yun forced all the Yin Qi in his meridians back into his energy center, leaving only pure Yang Qi in his meridians. At the same time, Ling Yun began to absorb the spiritual energy released by the Shichiyou herb. He absorbed as much as he could. Every time he reached a critical juncture, he would drink a box of spiritual liquid.
Ling Yun chose to drink the spiritual liquid instead of the dragon saliva. It wasn't because the dragon saliva was bad, but because the spiritual liquid contained the Immortal Spiritual Energy of the Emperor Brush.
This was what Ling Yun had purposely injected into the Shichiyou herb. This was the limit of what the herb could withstand. He had prepared it long ago just for this day.
Days passed slowly as Ling Yun cultivated in seclusion day and night. In order to protect Ling Yun, Bai Xianer even gave up on her own cultivation and focused on protecting Ling Yun.
Bai Xianer could see that after five days, the fifteen jade boxes and five jade bottles had all been used up and stored in his spatial ring.
Ling Yun began to cultivate with a spirit stone in each hand. After a period of time, he used up all the spiritual energy in the spirit stone and replaced it with two more.
Another two days passed, and all the spirit stones Ling Yun prepared were used up. At this time, the Shichiyou herb finally stopped releasing spiritual energy. Bai Xianer carefully stored the Shichiyou herb according to the method Ling Yun taught her.
This way, Ling Yun could only absorb the spiritual energy of the Heaven Yang Herb and Dragon Saliva Herb. He started to drink the dragon saliva.
Seven days had passed, and Ling Yun's cultivation of the Divine Yang Cultivation Technique had reached its most critical juncture. There were only two days left, and he had to reach the first minor realm of the Divine Yang Cultivation Technique in one fell swoop. Otherwise, everything would be for naught.
At the same time, Bai Xianer felt the temperature in Mansion Number One getting higher and higher. It was at least twenty degrees higher than outside the mansion. Many of the flowers on the lawn had already withered under such heat.
This was caused by the Pure Yang Qi in Ling Yun's body overflowing. However, Bai Xianer wasn't affected at all because she basically cultivated the fire technique. She liked the Pure Yang Qi the most, so she benefited a lot from it.
The ninth day!
At this time, Ling Yun's body shone with a dazzling white light as if he had turned into a blinding sun. Even the night was as bright as day.
This was the main reason why Ling Yun asked Bai Xianer to set up the illusion. He knew that such a phenomenon would occur once the Divine Yang cultivation technique reached the first minor realm.
"Boom!"
Nine days later, at noon, Ling Yun finally reached the first minor realm of the Divine Yang cultivation technique. He was well prepared, and he drank more than ten kilograms of dragon saliva in two days. Finally, it was a success!
For the first time in nine days, Ling Yun slowly opened his eyes. With a smile on his face, he let the pure Yang Qi circulate through his body once more before he stopped cultivating the Divine Yang Cultivation Technique.
"Phew … I've finally succeeded. No more, no less, nine days!"
Ling Yun exclaimed but didn't stand up. He said to Bai Xianer telepathically, "Xian Er, go and destroy the Spirit Gathering Formation around the Earth Yin Herb."
Bai Xianer flew over and destroyed the Spirit Gathering Formation. In an instant, the Yin Qi accumulated by the Earth Yin Grass surged out and swept toward Ling Yun.
The Yang Qi in Ling Yun's body was at its peak. With the help of the Yin Qi, he reached the balance of Yin and Yang. At the same time, he activated the Yin-Yang harmony balance.
The magical energy center began to rotate slowly. Almost instantly, he broke through to the mid-stage of Physique Tempering Stage Nine without any hindrance!
Ling Yun continued to cultivate the Yin-Yang harmony balance for another three days. At the same time, Ling Yun didn't forget to cultivate the Stellar Condensation Technique at night and in the morning. Because nine days had passed, it was already the fifteenth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. The full moon hung high in the sky, and the stars shone brightly. It was the best time to cultivate.
Three days later, Ling Yun managed to stabilize his realm at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Nine. He wasn't greedy and didn't attempt to break through to the Qi Cultivation Stage immediately.
Ling Yun's Stellar Condensation Technique finally showed signs of loosening. However, he still couldn't reach the third major realm. Ling Yun could only give up for now.
After cultivating the Divine Yang cultivation technique, Ling Yun had the most domineering attack power. He didn't care too much about improving his defense.
"After twelve days of seclusion, the first minor realm of the Divine Yang cultivation technique, pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Nine. I've gained a lot …"
However, at the same time, the consumption was huge. Ling Yun had used up all the spiritual liquid, metal spirit stones, and fire spirit stones. He had also drunk more than ten kilograms of dragon saliva. It was definitely extravagant.
However, it was all worth it. Absolutely worth it!
Ling Yun flew up with a long roar. He immediately expanded his divine sense to the maximum and realized that it had more than doubled. It could now cover a radius of more than eighty meters!
Ling Yun landed on the ground and picked up a broken spirit stone. It had a diameter of seven to eight centimeters. Ling Yun activated the Yin-Yang God Eye and saw through it!
Ling Yun estimated that he could see through at least ten centimeters of stone if he used the Yin-Yang God Eye to its maximum.
Ling Yun laughed and squeezed the stone into powder with his right hand. With a flip of his hand, he scattered the powder on the ground.
"Xian Er congratulates Master on achieving great success!"
Bai Xian Er's figure floated in front of Ling Yun. She couldn't hide the excitement and pride on her beautiful face. She was happier than her own advancement.
"Hehe, what great success? This is only the first step in my long journey …"
Ling Yun smiled casually and raised his hand to pull Bai Xianer into his arms. (To be continued.)
