Ling Yun didn’t stay too long at Yao Rou’s place. He returned back to Mansion Number One around midnight to increase his pace of absorption of the power of the galaxy. He wanted to break through to the third major realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique as soon as possible.

The heavens were on his side. The weather had been great over the past few days. The Dragon Boat Festival would be tomorrow, but only the stars were out without the moon. The billions of stars shone onto Ling Yun, helping him advance his Stellar Condensation Technique.

Ling Yun went to Qingshui Wharf to bring Bai Xianer to Mansion Number One early in the morning. He was in no mood for the festival.

It was the day the Shichiyou herb would ripen, and Ling Yun would start his closed door cultivation as soon as it did. He didn’t want to be disturbed, so only Bai Xianer could protect him.

After intensive persuasion, Xue Meining returned to her own house reluctantly. Miao Xiaomiao accompanied her.

Ling Yun then instructed Tang Meng and Yao Rou to take care of Bai Xianer’s meals before telling them to leave Mansion Number One.

Noon came. The sun was bright. Ling Yun and Bai Xianer stood by the Shichiyou herb and waited for the magic moment where it would ripen.

“Xian Er, I will dispel the spirit gathering formation around the Shichiyou herb once it ripens, and then I will start cultivating there...”

Ling Yun pointed to the spot between the Shichiyou herb and the Longxian Grass. He had already set up the spirit gathering formation there.

“You have to create an illusion to keep me apart from the outside world. No mortal should see me cultivating, okay?”

Bai Xianer nodded. “Xian Er understands...”

“Also, it will take nine to twelve days. No one should disturb me as long as I don’t stand up. Look for Aunty, Tang Meng, or Tie Xiaohu if there are any matters to be settled. Kill anyone who dares barge into Mansion Number One!” Ling Yun continued.

“Once the spiritual energy of the Shichiyou herb is gone, which will occur on the seventh day, you have you to store them well. Take care of them, and don’t let them wither. I have plans for them.”

The Shichiyou herb could only survive for seven days after it ripened, but it would wither and dry up if no one gathered it. Ling Yun wouldn’t be able to concoct the Shichiyou Pill without them.

“Xian Er understands!”

The moment they were waiting for finally came around one in the afternoon, which was when the sun was the brightest. Ling Yun collected five bottles of liquefied spiritual energy and put them all in his spatial ring.

He then proceeded to destroy the spirit gathering formation and didn’t put any vessel back onto the ground. That was because Ling Yun would be absorbing all of the spiritual energy the Shichiyou herb was going to dissipate into the surroundings over the next seven days. He would use the energy for the Divine Yang cultivation technique and to breakthrough to Physique Tempering Stage Nine.

The amount of spiritual energy now was more than ten times its usual amount!

However, it was quickly attracted to the new spirit gathering formation that Ling Yun created.

Ling Yun knew that no time was better than now. “The Illusion, quick!” Ling Yun said to Bai Xianer. He came to the middle of the spirit gathering formation in a flash and sat in the lotus position.

Bai Xianer’s graceful figure fluttered through the mansion, and her fingers drew invisible lines as she set her illusions.

Ling Yun took out all of the fire spirit stones and metal spirit stones he obtained in the Antique Market and placed them around his body.

He could only absorb metal spiritual energy, fire spiritual energy, and pure Yang Qi when cultivating the Divine Yang cultivation technique! He must not absorb any other spiritual energy. That was why Ling Yun had a spirit gathering formation ready so that the pure Yin Qi from the Earth Yin Grass didn’t seep out!

The Dragon Spiritual Energy was naturally a type of Yang Qi. Ling Yun brought out the mysterious gourd, planning to drink the dragon saliva if there wasn’t enough Yang Qi.

He also had fifteen jade boxes and five jade bottles of liquefied spiritual energy within reach. He could drink them at any time.

That just went to show how much pure Yang Qi was needed for the Divine Yang cultivation technique, and this was just the first minor realm.

Ling Yun did a final check and started his cultivation calmly.

This time, Ling Yun forced all the pure Yin Qi in his meridians back to his energy center and left only the pure Yang Qi coursing through him. He also started absorbing the spiritual energy from the Shichiyou herb at the same time. He drank the spiritual energy as and when he needed it.

Ling Yun chose to drink that and not the dragon saliva because there was Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Emperor Brush in it.

That was deliberately placed in the Shichiyou herb by Ling Yun. He was only waiting for this day to come.

Time passed slowly for Ling Yun. Bai Xianer had also stopped her cultivation completely to concentrate on guarding Ling Yun.

Bai Xianer could see that Ling Yun finished all the vessels around him and stored them all back into the spatial ring.

Ling Yun then held a spirit stone in each hand. He picked up new ones after the spiritual energy in them was used up.

After two days, all the spirit stones were used up as well. The spiritual energy from the Shichiyou herb had also been used up. Bai Xianer stored the Shichiyou herb according to Ling Yun’s instructions.

The only energy Ling Yun had left to absorb was the spiritual energy from the Heaven Yang Grass and the Longxian Grass. He started to devour the dragon saliva.

After seven days, Ling Yun was at the critical point of the Divine Yang cultivation technique. He had two days left. He had to reach the first minor realm of the Divine Yang cultivation technique. If not, everything would have been for nothing.

Bai Xianer could feel the ambient temperature of Mansion Number One getting higher and higher. It was at least twenty degrees higher than outside, and many plants had died.

This was caused by the overflowing pure Yang Qi in Ling Yun’s body. Nonetheless, Bai Xianer wasn’t affected. She was cultivating the fire attribute, so the Yang Qi was actually welcomed.

On the ninth day!

Ling Yun’s body was shimmering like a dazzling sun. It was as bright as day, even at night.

That was why he got Bai Xianer to cast the illusion. He knew that such a phenomenon would happen if he were to attain the first minor realm of the Divine Yang cultivation technique.

“Boom!”

At noon on the ninth day, Ling Yun had finally attained the first minor realm of the Divine Yang cultivation technique! His preparations were good, and he managed to achieve his goal!

He opened his eyes for the first time in nine days. He smiled and coursed the pure Yang Qi through his body once again before he stopped his cultivation.

“Har... I’ve finally succeeded. It really took nine days!”

Ling Yun exhaled without getting up. “Xian Er, destroy the spirit gathering formation around the Earth Yin Grass now,” he said to Bai Xianer through telepathy.

Bai Xianer did as she was told. The Cold Yin Qi accumulated over the past nine days was released, and it surged towards Ling Yun.

Ling Yun used the Cold Yin Qi to even out the Yang Qi within his body. He also started to activate his Yin-Yang harmony balance.

His energy center gradually started to move, and he broke through to the mid-stage of Physique Tempering Stage Nine.

Ling Yun remained still and continued to cultivate his Yin-Yang harmony balance for another three days. He would also cultivate the Stellar Condensation Technique in the mornings because it was the 5th of May on the lunar calendar, the best time to cultivate it.

After three days, Ling Yun stabilized himself at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Nine. He wasn’t greedy, so he didn’t try to get to Qi Cultivation in one shot.

Ling Yun’s Stellar Condensation Technique finally showed signs of moving. However, it seemed like he was still some time away from the third major realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique. He gave up temporarily.

He had an immense attack power with the Divine Yang cultivation technique now, so he wasn’t so concerned with increasing his defense.

I reached the first minor realm of the Divine Yang cultivation technique and the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Nine. It’s a full harvest...

At the same time, it was also a huge drain on resources. He finished all the liquefied spiritual energy, metal spirit stones, and fire spirit stones. He also drank more than ten liters of the dragon saliva. It was simply extravagant.

However, it was all worth it! Damn well worth it!

Ling Yun sprang up and activated his divine sense to its maximum and found that the area it covered had more than doubled. He was nearly able to cover eighty square meters now!

Ling Yun picked up a random stone that had a diameter of about eight centimeters. He could see right through it!

Ling Yun estimated that he could see through a stone that was ten centimeters thick now.

Ling Yun laughed and clenched his fist lightly, pulverizing the stone instantly.

“Xian Er congratulates Master for completing your goal!”

Bai Xianer appeared in front of Ling Yun with a whoosh. Her beautiful face was filled with excitement and pride, even more than when she had her own breakthroughs.

“Hehe, how is this completing my goal? It’s just one small step of millions of steps...”

Ling Yun smiled lightly and embraced Bai Xianer.
