Looking at the graceful Du Yumei, Lin Caogen smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't have any talent. I only have one immortal root, while you have nine."
Du Yumei laughed and said, "Senior Brother Caogen, don't joke with me. Once the Heavenly Root appears, all other roots will submit. Your set of Heavenly Rank Immortal Roots is much stronger than my nine Earthly Rank Immortal Roots. When you guided your Qi into your body before, it caused a celestial phenomenon, and the disciples around you felt that they could hardly breathe. In less than a thousand years, Senior Brother Caogen will definitely become an Immortal Saint."
Lin Caogen smiled faintly and said, "I hope so! Junior Sister Du is very talented, so I'm afraid she'll be even faster in terms of comprehension. It's getting late, I'll go wash up and cultivate now. See you tomorrow morning!"
Du Yumei nodded, appearing very obedient.
Lin Caogen glanced at Du Yumei and sighed deeply in his heart.
Once upon a time, his first love, Song Wanyue, was just like that. Beautiful, charming, considerate, and well-behaved.
If Song Wanyue were to come to the Immortal Continent, her talent would probably be no less than his own.
Unfortunately, Song Wanyue changed her mind for some reason.
They were once so in love, embracing each other at sea, enjoying wine at restaurants, and kissing in the movie theater.
However, today, they are separated by trillions of light-years.
Without Yang Guo's spaceship, or the cultivation level obtained by the Immortal Emperor, or the teleportation array, Lin Caogen would probably never have been able to return to Earth.
Du Yumei is truly beautiful. If only I could win her heart and cultivate with her, taking her to the ends of the earth. It's just a pity that a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, and a woman's vows like clouds in the sky—they change in an instant.
Since being dumped, Lin Caogen has become timid about pursuing girls.
Back in the bamboo house, Lin Caogen sat cross-legged on the bed and began to ponder the martial arts technique that Tian Youguang had given him that day—the Golden Bell Cover.
After careful study, it was discovered that after successfully cultivating the Golden Bell Shield, the entire body will radiate golden light, and a golden bell formed from condensed immortal essence will protect the body. To be honest, this technique is somewhat similar to the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art left behind by the ancient savage emperor, in that both involve the entire body radiating golden light.
"The Vajra Indestructible Divine Technique is, after all, a top-tier Heaven-rank cultivation method, and its name contains the word 'divine technique,' so it's probably not simple. Wouldn't it be perfect to cultivate this Golden Bell Shield to protect the Vajra Indestructible Divine Technique?"
Thinking of this, Lin Caogen decided to cultivate the Golden Bell Shield first, since this technique was only at the high level of the Earth Rank and was relatively easy to cultivate, while the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art would take much longer to cultivate.
The cultivation method for the Golden Bell Shield is actually quite simple, essentially consisting of two steps. First, one transforms each cell using immortal energy, making it metallic. Second, the immortal energy contained within the cells is released outward, condensing into a golden bell around the body for defense.
Releasing immortal energy is something only cultivators in the Qi Condensation stage can do. Only when the meridians throughout the body are unblocked can one freely control the release and release of immortal energy.
However, the Golden Bell Shield is a high-level Earth-rank cultivation technique. It directly releases immortal essence through cells to condense a golden bell, allowing Body Refinement cultivators to release immortal essence and condense it into a physical defense. This is the power of the Golden Bell Shield. If it didn't have this function, it wouldn't be rated as a high-level Earth-rank cultivation technique.
Cultivating the Golden Bell Shield requires not only a massive amount of immortal essence, but also metal-attribute spiritual liquid. Metal-attribute spiritual liquid is mostly concentrated in certain plants and needs to be extracted.
Lin Caogen roughly estimated that at least 100 jin of metallic spiritual liquid was needed to metallize the body's cells in order to cultivate the Golden Bell Shield. The amount of immortal energy and immortal stones required to cultivate the Golden Bell formed by the outward release of immortal essence was immeasurable.
However, once successfully cultivated, the Golden Bell Shield will also grant one extremely powerful defensive capabilities.
Upon reaching the first level of cultivation, one can emit a golden bell one centimeter thick, with the body radiating golden light, and catch blades with bare hands.
Upon reaching the second level of cultivation, one can project a golden bell two centimeters thick, and one's body turns a pale gold color, making it difficult for ordinary swords and knives to penetrate.
Upon reaching the third level of cultivation, one can project a golden bell three centimeters thick, turn the body golden, and feel no pain even when struck in the chest with an iron hammer.
Upon reaching the fourth level of cultivation, one can emit a golden bell 4 centimeters thick, have golden scales on their body, and survive being hit on the head by a boulder.
Upon reaching the fifth level of cultivation, one can project a golden bell 5 centimeters thick, and their body will have golden scales with patterns. They can escape even if buried alive by a landslide or earthquake.
Upon reaching the sixth level of cultivation, a golden bell six centimeters thick was released from the outside, and the golden scales on the body transformed into an array, absorbing energy and becoming invisible.
Upon reaching the seventh level of cultivation, one can project a golden bell seven centimeters thick, and the golden scale formation on one's body changes, allowing one to deflect a palm strike.
Upon reaching the eighth level of cultivation, the external golden bell is eight centimeters thick, and the body's golden scales have short thorns, causing relentless and devastating rebound damage!
Upon reaching the ninth level of cultivation, one can unleash a golden bell nine centimeters thick, and their body grows golden scales with poisonous thorns, planting golden poison upon striking an enemy!
Upon reaching the tenth level of cultivation, one can project a golden bell ten centimeters thick, unleash tiny golden needles with their fists and feet, and possess a golden poison that pierces the heart.
This Golden Bell Shield not only provides defense but also reflects damage. When cultivated to its highest level, it can draw upon metallic immortal essence from cells to transform into golden needles that are then injected into the enemy's meridians. The powerful metallic toxicity leaves the enemy unable to live or die, and after being poisoned, their entire body feels as if it is being pricked by needles, stabbed by swords, or slashed by knives, causing extreme pain.
The resources required to cultivate this Golden Bell Shield are also enormous.
The next morning at seven o'clock, Lin Caogen got up and finished washing up when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
It turned out that Du Yumei, who was next door, had finished washing up and invited Lin Caogen to have breakfast together.
Lin Caogen couldn't refuse, so he accompanied Du Yumei to the Xiaozhufeng canteen.
For breakfast, they had some congee with preserved egg and lean pork, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and tofu pudding. The two of them then walked side by side to the preaching platform.
Tian Youguang answered questions for all his disciples. During the session, the disciples actively participated in the Q&A and discussion.
The atmosphere for cultivation also became more intense from that day onwards.
The disciples saw Lin Caogen and Du Yumei sitting side by side listening to the lecture and secretly thought that the two of them would probably be inseparable in a few days.
After listening to Tian Youguang's explanation of the cultivation steps and answers to the difficulties of the Body Refining Stage, Lin Caogen and Du Yumei, along with other disciples, went to the storeroom to collect their monthly supplies.
