Lu Sheng did not cultivate according to the original record. Instead, he started cultivating the second stage of Qi Cultivation according to the slightly modified record.
This was one of his guesses.
Soon, after expending a unit of Mental Energy, the name of the Triad Brilliant Nether Collection in the Modifier's frame blurred, and was replaced by an unknown cultivation method.
This was because he had modified the second stage. Although it was not a big change, to the inflexible Modifier, this was no longer the Triad Brilliant Nether Collection, but a similar set of records. Hence, the name was changed to an unknown cultivation method.
"It works!" Lu Sheng was overjoyed. The second stage of Qi Cultivation swiftly compressed the Pure Qi in his body, circulated it, and condensed it into slightly thicker Yin Cold Pure Qi.
"Then, derive the third stage." From this slightly modified second stage of the cultivation method, Lu Sheng could use the Modifier to derive the cultivation method.
Although he could derive it himself, it was far less efficient than Deep Blue's derivation.
Soon, a blue light flashed in the cave abode. Lu Sheng's skin glowed with a blue hue, but it quickly disappeared.
The Pure Qi in his body continued to condense.
'As expected, from the third stage onwards, the nature of the Pure Qi is different from what was recorded in the original record. The Cold Poison is stronger, and the aura is more neutral. It's not as fierce and brutal as before. If the Pure Qi before was a wild horse that had broken free, then the current Pure Qi is a tamed beast. 'Lu Sheng nodded slightly in satisfaction. The derivation of the third stage only consumed one unit of Mental Energy.
For a rich person like him, this was but a drop in the ocean.
He could keenly feel that the third stage of the cultivation method seemed to have incorporated his Spiritual Power cultivation experience from the Spiritual Power World, as well as some of the basic cultivation methods from the Prime Devil Sect.
The only purpose of the Qi Cultivation period was to make the Pure Qi thicker and more condensed. The techniques and experience that were used to tame other powers were all used to tame mere Yin Cold Qi. Naturally, it was overkill. It easily achieved the best results.
"Again!"
Lu Sheng continued to derive with his Mental Energy. Perhaps it was because he was only perfecting the cultivation method, the amount of Mental Energy consumed was extremely little. It was almost always one or two units. It seemed like the amount of Mental Energy consumed depended on the number of modifications.
Clearly, Mental Energy was more like an energy source for Deep Blue. When Deep Blue did not need to operate too intensely, it would consume less energy, and not much Mental Energy would be consumed.
For the entire afternoon, Lu Sheng did not see anyone. He cultivated in seclusion and quickly broke through from the first level of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
After that, he came out of seclusion and rested for a while. He took out a few materials and medicines from the Treasure Vault in the cave abode and returned to his seclusion to continue his cultivation.
He was about to reach Foundation Establishment. Back then, Mu Yun had been at a disadvantage due to his lack of resources. Once he reached Foundation Establishment, he could refine a Life Bound Dharmic Artifact as his greatest reliance in the future.
In this world, the amplification effect of magic treasures was extremely terrifying. Cultivators with magic treasures compared to cultivators without magic treasures.
They were like two mortals. One of them wore a full suit of armor and wielded weapons, while the other was bare-handed and could only rely on his fists.
In this world, Spiritual Power was only a cultivation base and a tier. Its might was extremely limited. It only had a few of the most basic powers.
Only by using Spiritual Power to refine various powerful magic treasures or cultivate mysterious and powerful abilities to protect oneself could one not perish in battle.
Magic treasures came first, and abilities came second. Back then, Mu Yun could not find any resources at all. He had no choice but to cultivate his abilities at Foundation Establishment. From then on, he lost the best opportunity to possess magic treasures.
However, things were different for Lu Sheng now.
He took out some Cold Iron, Black Steel, Spider Gold, and a few bottles of Sunflower Water Essence. These were the most precious materials Mu Yun had accumulated over the years.
However, they were barely enough to forge magic treasures and magic tools.
'I can't forge magic tools with these things …' Lu Sheng sized up the materials before him helplessly. All of these combined were no bigger than a basketball. It was extremely difficult to forge something like this.
'Moreover, my forging skills are poor. Instead of meticulously sculpting, I might as well be more crude.' Lu Sheng extended his hand. Dark blue, translucent wisps of mist suddenly shone in his palm.
This was the Yin Cold Pure Qi that he had cultivated to the ninth stage of Qi Refinement. Compared to the Yin Cold Pure Qi that he should have cultivated, the might of the Pure Qi in his palm was at least twice as strong as in Mu Yun's memories.
If he tossed this bit of Pure Qi out, he could freeze a large bucket of boiling water into ice in the blink of an eye.
'I might as well just refine them into pellets. That way, I can try to take that route … 'A thought flashed through Lu Sheng's mind.
He collected his thoughts and began to use his Pure Qi to smelt these materials.
Speaking of which, it was strange. The Pure Qi he cultivated was clearly extremely Yin Cold, but it could melt all sorts of materials like flames.
In no time, Lu Sheng obtained a fist-sized silver-colored metal ball.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed it. The metal ball was very heavy. It weighed at least 50 kilograms. Lu Sheng continuously used his Pure Qi to corrode the ball. This process should have taken 49 days, and it could not be interrupted. However, he could not wait that long now.
A Divine Lord's spirit suddenly spread out. Slowly and steadily, it extended into the ball along Lu Sheng's palm. It began to analyze the composition of the metal ball.
It only took a few minutes for the analysis to end. For someone at Lu Sheng's level, it naturally did not take him long to analyze an ordinary Artifact that was simply a fusion of a few materials.
After the analysis was completed, the speed at which his Pure Qi seeped into the metal ball increased greatly. It was like a butcher dismembering an ox. There were traces that could be traced. It followed the meridians, and the refinement speed became faster and faster.
As the black, unnecessary impurities were forced out, the metal ball became slightly lighter and smaller. However, it still weighed about 40 to 90 kilograms.
After spending more than two hours, the refinement was finally completed.
Lu Sheng examined the metal ball in his hand. The ball was completely silver. It was smooth and flawless, and its surface was like a mirror.
'Now, it's time for Foundation Building.' Lu Sheng clasped the small ball in his hands and pressed it against his abdomen. It stuck close to his skin.
'Deep Blue.'
The Modifier's window immediately popped up.
There were only two boxes on it. One was the Infinity Technique, and the other was the unknown cultivation method.
Lu Sheng was familiar with the process. He quickly pressed the derive button behind the unknown cultivation method.
"Pcchht!"
The entire box suddenly blurred. Three units of Mental Energy were instantly burned. His main body spat out the Core Qi that he had swallowed earlier. With Core Qi to consume, Lu Sheng did not need to waste his Mental Energy to transform into Pure Qi.
Vast amounts of Pure Qi surged in his body like waves crashing against the shore. Lu Sheng focused and held his breath. His massive Divine Lord level spirit controlled the Pure Qi in his body perfectly, preventing it from leaking out of his pores.
Under Deep Blue's derivation and control, more and more Pure Qi appeared. After about half a minute, the Pure Qi suddenly split into 99 vortexes of the same size. They were distributed at 99 acupoints on Lu Sheng's body.
All the vortexes shrunk at the same time. Under Deep Blue's control, the Pure Qi was condensed into 99 Qi acupoints that looked like stars.
'This is … the Cold Star Dense Yin Body from the Triad Brilliant Nether Collection? It's recorded that only one Cold Star can be condensed, and that's the lower dantian. I didn't expect … 'Lu Sheng's heart trembled. He did not expect Deep Blue to derive such a crazy cultivation method after combining everything he had learned.
Each of these 99 Cold Stars was identical to the Cold Star that Taoist Mu Yun had painstakingly condensed in the past.
Each of the Cold Stars contained vast and pure Yin Chill Pure Qi.
'This Foundation Building … is really …' Lu Sheng did not expect it to be this exaggerated.
In other words, his supernatural power in the Foundation Building stage was 99 times more than Mu Yun's! Moreover, his Yin Chill supernatural power was more than twice as powerful as Mu Yun's.
"I just don't know what level the Foundation Establishment Body I deduced is at. Originally, Foundation Building required some special energy as a primer, but it was compensated by Mental Energy. This is indeed impressive. As long as it's pure energy, there's a way for my Mental Energy to completely compensate for it. The only difference is how much it's consumed. '
Lu Sheng stood up and moved around. He allowed his body to get used to the state of Foundation Building.
He picked up the metal ball again. There was now a V-shaped, dark blue pattern on the silver ball. The pattern seemed to be formed from many basic hand seals from the Triad Brilliant Nether Collection. They twisted and combined to form patterns. It looked incredibly mysterious.
It was clear that during his Foundation Building, it had absorbed a special aura from the seal. Now, it could be considered as Lu Sheng's Life Tool. Of course, it was only an Artifact. Only the Life Tools of Core Path elites had the right to be called Artifacts.
'99 times more supernatural power in the early stage of Foundation Building. This is a good start.' Lu Sheng was satisfied. Although the collection with the Nether Water as its foundation was slightly lacking, if the quality was lacking, he could make up for it with quantity.
After resting for a while, he ordered the young boys and girls outside to come in and ask them some questions. Then, he had his meal and continued cultivating in seclusion.
This time, he wanted to break through the Foundation Building and regain his Core Path cultivation base.
…..
The third island among the archipelagos under the Wood Martial Abode was not the third island. Its name was the third island.
The island was not big, but there were coconut groves, hills, lakes, and even hot springs. The island was connected to an active volcano. Hence, a small village with a few hundred people lived by the warm lake in the center.
Currently, the village chief was leading a large group of villagers. They were thanking two young men, one young man and one young woman, profusely.
The two young men were in high spirits. Their eyes shone with divine light, and their figures were tall and straight. Each of them carried an exquisite and unadorned longsword on their back. Faced with the old village chief's gratitude, they waved their hands and declined their kind offer to stay the night.
These two young men were the Vital Energy Sect's Du Guangchi and Yao Lian who had gone out to train. The two of them originally had a companion, their Senior Apprentice Sister Yue Cai of the same sect. However, she was ambushed by a Devil Cultivator along the way. She was heavily injured, and her body was poisoned by the Yin-attribute poison known as the Green Jade Mantis.
Under the guidance of a senior elite, the two of them knew that only the Extreme Yin and Cold Attribute Green Netherworld Bead could draw out the Green Jade Mantis and save their Senior Apprentice Sister's life.
Du Guangchi was deeply in love with his Senior Apprentice Sister Yue Cai. He immediately went overseas and found this place following the elite's guidance. Yao Lian, who was beside him, had feelings for Du Guangchi. She was willing to come with him to search for treasures and save people.
