Chapter 6: Ten Years of Lifespan Burned Away in an Instant
This technique can be perfected in just six months.
Of course, this does not mean that he can break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining in just six months. The realm of cultivation techniques is similar to that of spells. The higher the realm, the more comprehensive the control of spiritual power and the development of the body's meridians.
Practicing a perfect-level cultivation technique can greatly improve Wang Yu's poor aptitude, using skills and experience to offset the problem of insufficient spiritual energy absorption.
It's really just about finding different ways to accelerate your spiritual practice.
Generally speaking, a complete cultivation method comes with accompanying spells, secret techniques, and even complementary alchemical formulas and blueprints for magical artifacts.
The Blood Burning Technique has only one secret technique called "Longevity Burning Secret Technique." This technique, combined with the cultivation method, enhances comprehension. If Wang Yu wants to use it, there are no barriers to entry.
With both slots working simultaneously, he can refine a wisp of spiritual energy every day. In a maximum of ten days, he can break through to the second level of Qi Refining. It seems that his main body needs to immediately cultivate the Life Burning Secret Technique to conceal the abnormality.
According to the plan, Wang Yu will have to burn through ten years of his lifespan in a very short period of time before his physical appearance will show obvious changes due to the rapid loss of his essence.
He's too young; slow burning won't work. He needs to be burned thoroughly in one go.
"A Qi Refining cultivator lives for 150 years; even if 50 years are burned, it's worth it."
Comforting himself, Wang Yu steeled his heart and formed the [Burning Life Seal] with his hands, fully activating the Blood Burning Technique.
A faint red mist rose from his pores, completely enveloping him. The smell of blood permeated the stone house, and he felt waves of stinging pain, though it was still within his tolerance.
Strictly speaking, this was his first attempt at actively cultivating with the aptitude of a useless spiritual root.
Although I tried it yesterday, I failed at the first step, "sensing spiritual energy," and I only managed to reach the entry threshold by placing the item in the slot.
But this time, the feeling of burning lifespan was completely different.
There seemed to be specks of five-colored spiritual light in the air. The blood-red mist generated by his burning lifespan was like a net, capturing all the spiritual energy within a ten-foot radius around him and slowly absorbing it into his body.
The Great Circulation route of the Blood Burning Technique was also tinged with a blood-red color. After breaking through the first level of Qi Refining, Wang Yu was able to achieve internal vision, which is a very peculiar perceptual ability.
Those blood-red lights were all formed from his lifespan, and they were extremely efficient at assisting in refining spiritual energy. Even though most of them escaped due to his aptitude, a small portion was completely captured by Wang Yu.
soon.
A new wisp of blood-red spiritual energy emerged from within the dantian. This was a characteristic of activating the secret technique of "Burning Blood Technique," and it was clearly distinct from the initial wisp of normal spiritual energy.
The two were not merged into one.
This blood-burning spiritual power creates a unique blood-light visual effect when casting spells. The surge of spiritual power is most noticeable when confronting each other with the pressure of different realms. This is also the evidence that Wang Yu left for himself.
It's like saying: "I burned my spiritual power to cultivate longevity, and you actually doubted me? That's wrong of you."
When he came to his senses from the meditation, Wang Yu subconsciously touched his face. A very conspicuous white strand in his long, flowing hair was quite eye-catching.
"One year of lifespan in exchange for a wisp of spiritual power..."
This terrifying consumption made his face even more grim. According to the booklet, one only needs spiritual power to reach the first level of Qi Refining, ten strands are required for the second level, and one hundred strands are required for the third level.
If he continues at the current rate, even burning him to a dried-up body would only get him to the third level of Qi Refining, which is perfectly in line with his talent as a person with a useless spiritual root.
"well………"
"My spiritual root aptitude is so poor that even the effects of quickly mastering demonic arts are weakened? Damn it!"
A sense of malice arose in Wang Yu's heart. He knew this was because he had burned through his lifespan too quickly. Although he had captured a lot of spiritual energy, he could not refine it all.
One should reduce the amount of lifespan burned in a single instance to avoid waste, but what he wants is for lifespan to deplete rapidly, leading to changes in physical appearance.
This will make him look like he's burning through even more of his lifespan!
Wang Yu stopped practicing the "Blood Burning Technique" after that, as consuming too much lifespan in one day would cause a precipitous decline in his physical functions.
Even if someone lives to be 150, burning 30 years' worth of energy at once could lead to sudden death.
This is a condition that can result from a rapid imbalance in the body. He has a deep understanding of this from studying the "Qihuang Miaojuan" since childhood and would never take any risks.
With two streams of spiritual energy within his body, Wang Yu attempted to condense spiritual sand using the cultivation level provided by the placement system. This technique was not particularly profound; it was more like an instinct for cultivators.
Condensing spirit sand requires a carrier. Qi Refining cultivators do not yet have the ability to control spiritual power into a solid form. Generally speaking, the carrier is a spirit stone that has been emptied, which is then ground into powder or fragments.
The cloth bag that was delivered on the first day contained an ounce of the substance.
The volume was about the size of a medium-sized egg, wrapped in a cloth bag. Wang Yu selected half of it and infused it with his own cultivation.
In the end, they obtained two coins' worth of spirit sand.
One tael is equal to ten coins. A wisp of spiritual power can only condense two coins of spiritual sand. In other words, a spirit slave must cultivate five wisps of spiritual power each month in order to condense one tael of the standard.
This is not difficult for those with three or two spiritual roots, but it is extremely difficult for those with mixed or useless spiritual roots!
This means that one must sacrifice one's lifespan to meet the most basic requirement. If one agrees to the manager's offer of benefits, one must add four coins of spirit sand on top of that.
If you want to improve your cultivation level, you have to burn more of your lifespan.
As they are exploited from all sides, their lives grow shorter and shorter, yet the value they create increases until they finally perish.
"Excellent tactic!"
He weighed the spirit sand in his hand. Since things had come to this, there wasn't much he could do, so he lay down and fell asleep.
The two placement slots felt like "clones" to him, staying in places he couldn't see to cultivate for him, practicing continuously for twelve hours a day.
This resulted in him performing 96 cultivation cycles daily, yet even so, he could only extract a wisp of pure spiritual energy.
A useless spiritual root—how terrifying!
The following day, Wang Yu skipped the explanation session at dawn and instead immersed himself in the cultivation experience, going through the entire process according to yesterday's rhythm.
In this way, he accumulated one or two spirit sands on the fifth day. He had specially experimented with the blood-burning spiritual power. After the spiritual power cultivated by burning life was condensed into spirit sand, as long as it was left for a period of time, the aura belonging to Wang Yu inside would dissipate.
It transformed from its blood-red, spiritual light into pure spiritual sand.
This relieved him of any worries about any flaws in the spirit sand. Besides Manager Duan, two other managers also handed Wang Yu notes, implying that they had even more powerful backgrounds.
However, what has been revealed so far are three Foundation Establishment stage disciples belonging to Cold Blood Peak. The difference in status between the two sides is like that between mud and gold; they should just stay close together.
It's the twelfth day since I arrived at the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
Wang Yu, who was sitting cross-legged in the stone house, experienced a surge of energy, with rich, burning blood spiritual power rising rapidly around him.
"Qi Refining Level Two!"
Wang Yu clenched his fist, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. Although the improvement of cultivation mainly increased spiritual power, the changes in the body should not be underestimated.
