Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 318: Chapter 205: Purple Aura_2

At this moment, he felt a wild power contained within his body. He extended his hand, and a Third Grade Sword Base transformed into a longsword in his grasp.

The strength gained from Body Refinement made him feel that just by holding the Third Grade Sword Base, he had the confidence to fight a close combat battle with a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

When he returned to his cave dwelling, he began to cultivate the “Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique” and discovered an even greater surprise.

His cultivation speed had increased by about one percent, a one percent improvement in the speed of cultivation was truly nothing compared to the help he received from Li Yuanba during the Qi Refinement Realm, which nearly doubled his speed.

With Li Yuanba’s assistance during the Qi Refinement Realm, his cultivation speed had indeed increased by nearly twice.

But that was at the cost of consuming the fruits of Li Yuanba’s cultivation. As his avatar, Li Yuanba’s strength was also an important component of his combat ability.

...

Not to mention, he was counting on Li Yuanba to advance to the Golden Core more quickly to secure more resources for cultivation.

Even though the speed of cultivation had increased by only one percent, this indicated that his talent for cultivation was improving.

“Could it really be that the effects of absorbing the rising purple aura are so remarkable?” Li Shiming could hardly believe the effects of “Purple Qi Eastward.”

In fact, cultivation techniques like “Purple Qi Eastward” were widely circulated among the Taoists, but the most important thing about absorbing purple qi was to persist.

However, the problem is, once a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment Stage and primarily focuses on their cultivation technique, a single closed-door session can take a very long time. Not to mention timing the absorption of purple qi daily, they wouldn’t even move their bodies at all.

In such cases, cultivation techniques like “Purple Qi Eastward” become less useful, as the intermittent absorption of purple qi does not offer significant improvement and also wastes a lot of time.

Therefore, cultivation techniques like “Purple Qi Eastward” are generally only practiced by Qi Refining cultivators, not because of the grade of the technique, but because of the cultivators’ own habits of cultivation.

The next morning, Li Shiming once again manipulated one thousand five hundred Fernald reflectors to absorb a hundred times the violet aura for the second time.

This time, both his constitution and spirit saw a significant enhancement, and the speed at which he cultivated his primary cultivation technique increased by another one percent approximately.

It seemed that the least conspicuous technique, “Purple Qi Eastward,” was opening a great door for him, giving him the chance to strive for higher realms.

He forgot everything else, absorbing the violet aura each morning, then cultivating the “Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill” and the “Sword Demon Secret Manual,” spending the rest of his time on the “Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique.”

Until one day, more than two months later, he received a message from his master, Elder Su, asking him to go to Heavenly Eye Peak.

Even among Elder Su’s disciples, at most they would have one or two opportunities to choose, and you must understand that the choice of the main cultivation technique affects a cultivator’s entire life; given the opportunity, most would choose the sect’s Inheritance Techniques.

Having chosen the sect’s Inheritance Techniques, although they may not necessarily receive the supporting resources for the Inheritance Techniques, they do have the guidance of their predecessors’ experiences, which at a minimum, can reduce troubles encountered along the path of cultivation.

Of course, choosing Inheritance Techniques inevitably leads to competition since the supporting resources for these techniques are limited. When a large number of cultivators select Inheritance Techniques, the corresponding resources become scarce.

This is less of an issue during the Qi Refinement Realm and early-stage Foundation Establishment since the cultivation resources at these two stages are relatively easier to cultivate and are more abundant in quantity.

However, by the Middle Late Stage Foundation Establishment, the supporting resources for Inheritance Techniques become even scarcer, and the sect prioritizes these resources for disciples with higher talent and greater potential.

Even in the Golden Core Stage, competition exists among Golden Core Elders for the supporting resources of Inheritance Techniques.

Like Elder Su and Elder Ji, they both cultivate the same Inheritance Technique. The resources for advancing to Nascent Soul are the same for them, but the portion of the inheritance resources for advancing to Nascent Soul is only sufficient for one Golden Core Elder to use.

That is the focal point of the conflict between Elder Su and Elder Ji, and it is irreconcilable. The sect can only choose between the two Golden Core Elders.

Elder Ji targeting Elder Su relentlessly is just to force Elder Su out of the competition for the Nascent Soul advancement resources.

Therefore, Li Shiming choosing the ‘Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique’ has its advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is the lack of predecessors’ cultivation experiences, making it harder for him to reach the Golden Core. But the advantage lies in resources; the sect’s Thunder attribute resources are easier to apply for, and, assuming there are enough contribution points, they can be exchanged at any time.

According to what Elder Su knows, none of the sect’s key disciples are focusing on Thunder attribute techniques.

“Has your Body Refinement improved again?” Elder Su swept his Divine Thought over Li Shiming and asked with a hint of hesitation.

“Yes, disciple encountered a bit of fortune in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains and recently made a great advance in Body Refinement!” Li Shiming did not hide the truth.

Moreover, he took out the remaining Monkey Wine and handed it to Elder Su.

After reaching a significant level in Body Refinement, the Monkey Wine no longer had much effect on him. The remaining wine could support a Qi Refining cultivator from the initial stage of Body Refinement to minor completion.

“Fortune indeed... your talent may be lacking, but your fortune is truly...” Elder Su swept his Divine Thought over the Monkey Wine and sighed once more.

Resources like Monkey Wine are serendipitous and cannot be sought after; it’s entirely a matter of luck.
