Chapter 244 The Earth Mother Scripture at the Peak of Second-Order Body Refinement

Several days later, the remaining toxins of the third-tier spiritual creature, the Myriad Spirit Poison Marrow, were completely devoured by the Immaculate Jade Toad. Wang Yu was soaked to the bone, as if he had crawled out of the water.

The torment of being poisoned to the body was truly unbearable for anyone, but thankfully it's over, and the harvest has perfectly met expectations.

The essence blood within the dragon's spine has accumulated to over 8,600 drops. With a little more effort, it won't be far from its peak.

And in his possession, he happened to have the [Glazed Lotus Heart Liquid], a breakthrough spiritual item used to break through to the third level of body refinement, which he had obtained from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion through the [Lava Core Fruit]!

In the past two years, his true essence has only increased to 2822 drops. Even after refining five Black Cloud Insect Grasses, he can only increase his true essence by 400 drops, which is still a long way from breaking through to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment.

It would be better to focus all your energy on body refinement for now, and break through to the third level. When you combine it with the power of divine sense, you will definitely be able to fight against Core Formation cultivators head-on.

In truth, it was the secret technique of divine sense that held him back; otherwise, with the sheer size of his divine sense, he would have been able to play a much greater role in the battle.

"Once the Ancient Soul Technique inheritance is complete, everything will be alright."

Turning his head to look at Long Yiran under the ancient stone carving, he saw that she was surrounded by a mysterious aura. It was more like she had merged with some kind of spiritual entity than to say that she was comprehending something.

Her spiritual aura is strengthening, and she might be able to advance her cultivation ahead of others and reach the third rank ahead of schedule.

"The inheritance of the Earth Array Master involves the Soul Dao... It seems quite complex. No wonder they are interested in the inheritance of the Heavenly Soul Sect. They've stumbled upon it."

After observing for a while, I secretly used my divine sense to perceive the stone wall.

Finding that he couldn't find anything without the 'guiding essence', he left dejectedly, intending to search the underground herb garden, where things like Black Cordyceps could be found.

There might also be spiritual medicines for body tempering, using poison to temper the body. He had just tried it, and it was definitely feasible.

"The poisonous plants in the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest that are beneficial to body tempering, as I recall, are... Bone Barrier Poison Flower, Bloodthorn Tiger Staff, and Corpse Poison Earth Fruit!"

These are the three most famous types during the Foundation Establishment stage.

Wang Yu had seen the first one before. During the first Guiling Fragrance Gathering, the spiritual item that the Blood Blade Master took out was the Bone Barrier Poison Flower, which was then exchanged by the Rain Flower Taoist.

Walking through the dimly lit medicinal garden, I must say...

Wang Yuzhen found some: a Bloodthorn Tiger Staff and three Corpse Poison Earth Fruits. Both of these only grow in places where corpses are buried, and the number of corpses in the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest is countless.

The essence of the corpses near this herb garden has probably been absorbed by these two spiritual herbs.

The most numerous were found among the Bone-Dispelling Poison Flowers, a total of six.

"This is truly a treasure trove."

Wang Yu inspected the entire herb garden this time. In addition to the ones he picked, there were tens of thousands of first-tier spiritual herbs, hundreds of second-tier spiritual herbs, and twelve third-tier spiritual herbs.

Many of them withered, of which Wang Yu recognized 90%, while the remaining 10% were special poisonous strains that had mutated due to the local environment.

This kind of elixir requires a customized prescription based on its medicinal properties to be used perfectly, or it can be used directly.

Wang Yu wandered around for a while, then burned the Bloodthorn Tiger Staff into a bloody mess with the Ice Dragon Flame, smeared it directly on his body, and swallowed all three Earth Corpse Poison Fruits.

Six poisonous flowers of bone barrier swirled around the body, releasing granular pollen that seeped into the body through acupoints around the body's core.

Having undergone the baptism of the Myriad Spirits Poison Marrow, his body's resistance to poison has greatly increased, making ordinary poisons almost useless. Only he could do such a bold and unrestrained refining method.

The Ice Dragon Flame began to burn and temper the body from the inside out, integrating the medicinal properties of the poisonous plant into the blood and bones.

After several days, Wang Yu felt that something was missing.

He then took out the Starfall Cold Furnace and sealed himself with the furnace sealing technique, replicating his actions from several years ago in the Thunderfall Pit, except this time the firepower of the Ice Dragon Flame was even more intense.

As the Yinming Demon Dragon Technique was activated, Wang Yu's blood and qi surged violently out of his body, transforming into the form of the Yinming Demon Dragon to undergo a new round of body tempering.

Within the dragon's spine, the essence and blood are increasing at a rate far exceeding that of the past.

One year and two months later.

The amount of semen and blood successfully reached 9,999 drops.

Peak of the second stage of Body Refinement, achieved!!!

"Phew~~"

Taking a deep breath, Wang Yu exhaled a puff of white air that made the alchemy furnace clatter as if it had been hit by a boulder, vibrating incessantly—a sign of his robust internal organs.

The saying goes, "Exhale like an arrow, exhale like thunder."

That's exactly right.

Once he breaks through to the third stage of body refinement, he will possess the power to throw mountains. The ability to sway a million catties with a single arm is a thing of the past; the power to throw mountains is exactly what it sounds like.

He could uproot a mountain and then throw it out to fight the enemy.

At this point, making a breakthrough becomes increasingly difficult.

The final three-condensation and three-dispersion process is extremely difficult. Moreover, this drop of mixed true blood not only needs to be dispersed into the body, but also needs to be condensed in the spine to form the foundation of a third-level body cultivator.

—【The Essence】!

Just like breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage grants one "protective true qi" and "physical flight," breaking through to the Core Formation stage grants one "samadhi true fire" and "indestructible golden core"—these are all secondary supernatural abilities brought about by the realm of cultivation.

It is also an acquired talent that one possesses after life's transformation, deeply ingrained in the essence of one's bloodline. This is one of the reasons why high-level cultivators have difficulty conceiving.

This trait can be inherited, but what it manifests in is different spiritual root aptitude, and even innate spiritual body.

The combination of Yin and Yang can result in either one being too weak or too strong.

The final child born has a huge difference in potential between high and low; the child can have a heavenly spiritual root or a useless spiritual root, it's almost a matter of luck.

A powerful combination either results in no offspring, or the offspring will be a genius; there are no exceptions.

This kind of inherited realm trait is not something everyone can do, not even those at the Nascent Soul stage; only those at the Deity Transformation stage can inherit it.

The Nascent Soul stage is the only one recognized by heaven and earth as a powerful being. It can be said that the difficulty of combining two strong individuals has been maximized, since the Nascent Soul stage Venerable is already the strongest being in this world.

The essence of the body is the root of a cultivator's blood and qi, and the foundation of their divine power!

In essence, it belongs to a realm of extraordinary abilities, but it is equivalent to the Golden Core.

Pure body cultivators were eliminated by the times, not only because cultivation was difficult, but also partly because the divine essence that could only be condensed at the third level was deadly!

If the breakthrough fails, life will begin its countdown.

Crystal Lotus Heart Elixir, a spiritual item used for breaking through realms, can only increase the success rate. If it fails, the outcome of depleted blood and qi is still unavoidable.

At that time, the body is like a sieve, unable to retain qi and blood, and unable to lock in life essence, resulting in rapid aging and death within a dozen years.

Even though Wang Yu had used many body-refining spiritual items and had a deep foundation with a high success rate, he still needed to consider things more carefully at this point.

Furthermore, breaking through to the third level of body refinement also requires a third-level spiritual vein environment and the problem of facing lightning tribulation. He would not choose to break through at this time; the place is not right.

After condensing the [Divine Essence], the body cultivator will undergo a complete transformation, truly unleashing the essence of their divine power. Ideally, they should also forge a [Bloodline True Artifact].

This thing, like a natal magic weapon, is an essential item that grows along with one's cultivation level, and can be made without any crafting skills.

As more and more rare and precious materials are incorporated in the future, one can be promoted.

This is why he keeps collecting various Tier 3 equipment. It's simply not enough, and he's exhausted his family fortune to prepare for it. Once he breaks through to Tier 3, he will have formidable combat power.

As his thoughts wandered and he was contemplating the future, Wang suddenly looked up at the ancient stone carvings in the distance.

Taki still managed to understand.

The next moment, their eyes met for a fleeting instant.

"You're awake. How was the trip?"

"It's alright, Brother Wang, you'll know once you try it out yourself."

"Um?"

While Wang Yu was puzzled, Long Yiran took out a blank jade slip and stuck it on his forehead. After consuming a lot of spiritual energy and time, he flicked his wrist and threw it into Wang Yu's arms.

"The feng shui techniques you requested were only learned in the basics before. Only after completing the inheritance will you know the full picture."

"It contains a variety of feng shui secrets, as well as records and analyses of various strange formations in the world. Except for the lack of array formation inheritance, it is extremely complete."

This was fulfilling the contract, and Wang Yu gave her a deep look.

He never left during the past year, and the other party's trust in him has clearly increased.

When the divine sense read the jade slip.

Wang Yu's eyes were filled with shock.

"A single scripture on the Earth Mother contains so much information."

"Of course, according to legend, the Earth Mother is a descendant of the lineage of the ancestor of geomancers. I wonder how much of her true teachings she has received. You must not pass on this scripture of geomancy to others."

"That's natural."

After speaking, Taki still went to observe the spirits with a cheerful mood, while Wang Yu stood still, immersed in the content.

It was roughly divided into four sections.

The first section, "Secret Chapter of the Heavenly and Earthly Situations," records all kinds of feng shui formations, both seen and unseen, and ranks them, with explanations provided at the end.

The number one celestial formation is the [Starry Sky Yin-Yang Reversal Formation]. No one in this world has ever seen it before, and it requires waiting for a special celestial phenomenon to form, which has an extremely low probability of success.

The effect is simple and brutal: it reverses yin and yang, and turns life and death upside down.

No matter how long someone has been dead, or whether a remnant soul remains, they can be perfectly resurrected. This is a power that does not involve time; it is more like... creation!

The second Heavenly Bureau [Starry Sky Furnace Mystic Elixir Bureau] has never been seen in this world. Legend has it that the birth of this bureau is accompanied by a divine elixir, which can grant one immortality and a long lifespan.

The celestial realm is ethereal and unpredictable, and Wang Yu scrolls down the page.

Seeing that the "Nine Stars in the Void" formation at the end of the Heavenly Formation is the only one, it was truly encountered by the ancestor of geomancers.

Once this situation develops, a "gateway to another realm" will be created, through which cultivators will travel to other worlds, and there is no way to stop them.

Legend has it that the ancestor of geomancers disappeared into the gate of the realm. Before entering, he was so happy that he went mad. The Earth Mother Sutra describes this by gesturing wildly, and there is also a strong sense of envy in the text.

Wang Yu couldn't help but have more doubts.

The celestial configuration is questionable, but the terrestrial configuration has been seen by predecessors.

There are many formations that can help with cultivation, such as the "Nine Dragons Respecting Each Other Formation," the "Earth Mother Nourishing Life Formation," and the "Nine-Nine Mountain Cauldron Formation." However, they are difficult to set up by human power and can only be found by searching the vast land.

Among them, what moved Wang Yu the most was...

The two types, 【Golden Core Formation Formation】 and 【Nascent Soul Formation】, are similar in that the former can exempt one from the tribulation of lightning and also assist in the formation of the Golden Core, essentially serving as a top-grade spiritual aid for Golden Core formation.

It appears three times in the records of the Earth Mother Classic.

The latter... is even more awesome, beyond words.

Wang Yu was already very satisfied with the first section alone; there were still sections on "Mysterious Chapters of Feng Shui Secrets," "The Chapter on the Golden Eyes of Qi Observation," and "Detailed Explanation of Dragon Binding and Pulse Fixation" to follow!

These contents are exceptional for increasing knowledge, and since the Earth Mother Sutra is not a mystical art, it cannot be placed in just one category.

Apart from the first section, the Secret Chapter on the Situation of Heaven and Earth, which is pure knowledge, the latter three are mixed with many secret techniques and mysteries, and must be placed separately.

In short, the harvest this time was unexpectedly abundant.

Even a million spirit stones might not be enough to buy it.
