A chill slowly surged out, awakening Ling Tian from his coma. While dazed, Ling Tian gradually recalled the events before he fell into the coma.
"Looks like I ate him."
Ling Tian was still frightened when he recalled what happened before and almost died. Fortunately, he was killed by accident.
Although this trip was thrilling, he gained a lot. Now his mental power is several times higher than before, and even his realm has broken through to the middle stage of level seven. The aging caused by the blood sacrifice has been restored to normal.
"Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand."
After leaving the space, the surroundings were already in a mess. Ling Tian remembered that there was still something important to do, so he quickly used his mental power to search carefully. He only found an ancient-shaped ring in a corner of the stone crevice, and nothing else.
"This must be something he left behind. It's definitely not a simple item. How do I use it?"
After trying numerous methods to no avail, Ling Tian suddenly remembered what Mo Bufan had said about the immortal cultivators. Before the apocalypse, he had been a huge fan of immortality novels, and the one that had most profoundly influenced him was Han Lao Mo.
"Does it mean I have to shed blood to acknowledge my master?"
This is a common trick in novels about cultivating immortals. Ling Tian had no other choice but to give it a try.
He drew the knife and scratched the tip of his index finger, squeezing out two drops of blood that fell on the ring. A magical thing happened, the blood was actually absorbed into the ring, but he had no idea what was happening.
"Isn't there enough blood?"
Ling Tian squeezed out blood again, and there were about ten drops. Suddenly, there was a slight connection with the ring, and he knew it worked.
"It turns out to be a space ring. Let me see what treasures are inside."
"books?"
The ring has a large space, but it is almost empty. There are only a few old books, a small jade bottle and a broken sword.
"The Art of Immortality, Records of Spiritual Plants, and Records of Strange Stories."
Ling Tian picked up the book on longevity, a thin one with only a few pages. When he flipped open the page, he saw a picture of a man sitting cross-legged and counting on his fingers, with a short text introduction below.
"Longevity Kung Fu, the introductory method for Qi training: Sit cross-legged and calm the mind, relax and be naturally still, draw Qi into the body, guard the body and refine the body, and nourish the spirit with inner feeling..."
Ling Tian quickly flipped to the last page, which didn't describe the details of a technique, but rather the beauty of achieving immortality after reaching the pinnacle of cultivation. After closing the book, Ling Tian was filled with shock and yearning.
"Immortality!"
Ling Tian felt an unprecedented desire, but did not try to practice immediately because this place was not suitable.
Just when he was about to use his Thunder and Fire Wings to travel, there was no response at all. Not only that, but what was even more shocking was that even the strange crystals in his mind disappeared, and even the corpse crystals and zombies in the space disappeared. The only thing that remained unchanged was his own space and divine consciousness.
"Everything is gone?"
After thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered that everything Mo Bufan had said before was created by him, so he started to guess.
"It seems that the creator died, and everything disappeared with him."
Ling Tian's guess was correct, but he had been unconscious for two days and didn't know it. At the moment he devoured Mo Bufan's soul, a huge ray of light shot out from the Blood Crystal Mountain, and then the entire mountain rose into the air and exploded into countless light spots that merged into the thick clouds.
In an instant, the wind and clouds stirred, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a strange torrential rain washed the earth. Everything disappeared as if in a dream, leaving only the shattered planet and the bewildered survivors.
Ling Tian took out an off-road vehicle from the space and said with emotion, "I never thought that I would need you one day."
A few hours later, Ling Ren found a relatively desolate and hidden cave. Without the luminous crystal, Ling Tian had to use a diesel generator to generate electricity.
As the lights came on, Ling Tian took out a lot of things from the space to block the hole, and then began to study those books.
A few days passed in a flash, and Ling Tian had just gained a general understanding of the path of cultivating immortals.
According to the book, the realms of cultivation are divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul...
Ling Tian put down the book and practiced according to the formula of Changsheng Gong. Although the formula was obscure and difficult to understand, fortunately the book had detailed annotations. After many attempts, Ling Tian finally sensed the Qi after a few hours.
"The next step is to guide the Qi into the body."
This step is not simple, it can be said to be very difficult. After a day, although Ling Tian was able to draw the qi, unfortunately it dissipated as soon as it entered the body. It could not be condensed at all, and it was useless if it could not stay in the dantian in the body.
"It still doesn't work. Let's take a break before continuing."
After Ling Tian filled his stomach with a box lunch, he went to check out the unknown grass in the space. According to the description in the Spiritual Plant Record, this grass is a first-level spiritual plant named Silver Dan Grass. It is the main ingredient used to refine Yuanqi Pills, and Yuanqi Pills are an auxiliary pill used to practice and improve cultivation during the Qi training period.
Since it was not needed for the time being, Ling Tian ignored it, took out the small jade bottle, opened the jade stopper, and poured out the contents.
"Could it be a seed?"
Looking at the shriveled and irregular particle in his hand, Ling Tian wasn't quite sure what it was, but it did look like a seed.
After thinking about it, Ling Tian walked over to the silver elixir grass, dug a small hole, threw the small particle in, covered it with soil, poured some diluted life milk, then took the mysterious bottle and began to collect the mysterious milk.
"Why are there a few more drops today?"
Ling Tian felt it carefully and found that the crack seemed to have repaired a little bit. At first he didn't feel anything, but when he turned around he slapped himself twice.
"Fuck, I actually forgot about these top-grade spirit stones."
Ling Tian took those top-grade spirit stones. Although there was no change in appearance, the spiritual power inside was a little less.
He took out the space ring left by Mo Bufan and put the spirit stones in it. In order to ensure its safety and prevent it from being absorbed by the small bottle, he had to wear it on the middle finger of his left hand.
It’s not that Ling Tian doesn’t want the mysterious bottle to absorb it, but he can’t, because he has seen similar graphic introductions in the Qiwenzhi. The stone pillars and those complex patterns found in the deep sea before are the ancient teleportation array, and these top-grade spirit stones are the key to activate it.
Afterwards, Ling Tian began to study the half-broken sword. He tried various methods, including spiritual power and blood, but unfortunately, there was no effect at all. He gave up decisively after an hour.
After leaving the space, Ling Tian once again immersed himself in the practice of drawing Qi into his body.
A month later, a loud shout of excitement echoed in the cave.
"Hahaha, it worked. Even though it only took one cycle, I finally took the first step."
