Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Chapter 138: Chapter 107: Divine Skills Creation

Tai Xu True Disciple...

Gazing at the woman before him, Chu Zheng's eyes flickered slightly.

He was well aware of his burgeoning reputation in the surrounding areas, but he had never anticipated that he would so quickly catch the attention of a Holy Land True Transmission.

Miao Luan...

The fluctuations of aura around Miao Luan had already surpassed the Entry Dao Realm, marking her as a Great Cultivator of the Soul Condensing Realm.

Early Soul Condensing Realm cultivators, capable of ranking among the top four hundred on the Hidden Dragon List, are all exceptional beings with High Quality Celestial Foundations, and have the potential for the Nine Transformations of the Divine Infant.

Such individuals, numbering less than a hundred within the major Holy Lands, belong to the first tier of prodigies.

Seeing Chu Zheng remaining silent, Miao Luan spoke again, "The outside situation is chaotic, necessitating the concealment of my true appearance. I hope the elder understands."

"What brings you here?"

Chu Zheng averted his gaze and closed his eyelids. He did not wish to disrupt his current situation. He still lacked many resources for his foundation building and did not want to add unnecessary trouble.

"Tai Xu Holy Land is missing a person of your caliber. I am here on behalf of the Holy Land, hoping that you will join our Tai Xu Holy Land."

Miao Luan was straightforward and got straight to the point, then proceeded to make an offer:

"If you join our Tai Xu Holy Land, you will be revered as a Supreme Elder, your status within the sect second only to the Holy Master. In your pursuit of alchemy, all necessary Spiritual Medicines and Pill Recipes will be procured by Tai Xu Holy Land for you."

The cultivation techniques of Tai Xu are aligned with the Water Element and are not skilled in alchemy or artifact refining. Thus, most alchemists and artifact refiners within the Holy Land are recruited from the outside.

Naturally, with the sudden emergence of such a Grandmaster of Alchemy, they are somewhat eager.

"Time is nearly up."

Chu Zheng did not open his eyes but spoke softly, "If there is nothing else, leave the Spiritual Object and go."

Joining the Tai Xu Holy Land was naturally out of the question.

Although Miao Luan was not here to seek answers about alchemy, Chu Zheng would still collect what should be collected. That was the rule.

Miao Luan's visit did indeed allow Chu Zheng to breathe a bit easier, at least indicating that the current major Holy Lands still had no means of tracking him.

Hearing this, Miao Luan's brows furrowed slightly, wanting to persuade further but also somewhat worried about provoking the unfathomable old monster before her. Eventually, she only spoke softly,

"If you have any other demands that fall within our capability, Tai Xu will comply with them all. I hope you might reconsider."

After saying those words, she no longer spoke, turned over her hand to take out a Storage Bag, placed it next to Chu Zheng, and slowly exited the courtyard.

Chu Zheng glanced at the tightly shut gate, pulled out the Hidden Dragon List, and quickly came across Miao Luan's information.

[Hidden Dragon List Rank 346: Tai Xu Holy Land, Miao Luan, Bone Age Eighty-Six, Early Soul Condensing Realm.]

Among the young prodigies of the Early Soul Condensing Realm, Miao Luan ranked relatively high. This proved her strength and that she was not far from advancing to the Mid Soul Condensing Realm.

There were further opportunities before the official commencement of the Hidden Dragon Grand Competition.

Currently, Chu Zheng stood no chance in a head-on confrontation, but with a Nine Thunder Jade Talisman for a sneak attack, he might be able to kill.

After pondering for a while, Chu Zheng reached out and took the Storage Bag into his hand.

The Storage Bag was rather empty, containing only a Jade Box with a blood-red pill the size of a dragon's eye inside it, covered with blood vessel-like threads.

[Dragon Blood Bone Fish Inner Pill (Fourth Order): Contains the True Dragon Bloodline of an alien species, can greatly enhance Water Element affinity, contains a strange Qi for tracking and locating.]

The Dragon Bone Fish's inner pill had been tampered with. Tai Xu Holy Land could use it to determine Chu Zheng's location.

Obviously, Tai Xu Holy Land was not planning to give up easily.

Chu Zheng took the inner pill into his hand, a rich water-type essence rushed toward him.

Although it had ulterior motives, being a True Transmission of a Holy Land, their generosity was undeniable. A Fourth Order Spiritual Object was more than sufficient to forge a Celestial Foundation.

This reminder of the True Dragon Bloodline made Chu Zheng recall another item he had obtained earlier. He flipped his palm and took a Jade Bottle into his hand.

[True Dragon Blood Pill (Fourth Order/Incomplete): Crafted with True Dragon blood as the main ingredient, this Treasure Pill can greatly enhance one's root bone and vitality, and increase Blood Qi. Having been consumed and refined, a fragment remains, repairable (0/100).]

This was what Chu Zheng had acquired on the battlefield between the Phantom Spirit Sect and the Night Light Pavilion. With further advancement in the level of the Repair Master, the number of repairs required had greatly reduced.

Extracting the True Dragon Blood Essence from it could further spur the function of the Dragon Blood Bone Fish Inner Pill.

The visitors seeking advice were mainly alchemists, and the Spiritual Objects they provided were primarily botanical and of the Fire Element.

With the inner pill provided by Miao Luan, Chu Zheng had finally gathered the spiritual objects required for the Water, Fire, and Wood Celestial Foundations.

He only lacked those of the Earth and Metal elements.

In some time, he could attempt to start constructing the Five Elements Celestial Foundation.

...

...

Outside the courtyard, Miao Luan waited for a moment and, seeing no disturbance, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

This meant that this Grandmaster of Alchemy had not noticed the issue with the inner pill.

As long as she kept track of his whereabouts, there might still be a chance to invite him to the Holy Land in the future.

Lost in thought, Miao Luan sensed several gazes sweeping over her, and her expression changed slightly.

She was not used to concealing her traces when outside, and having focused all her attention on the movements within the courtyard just now, she had forgotten to change her appearance again.

For a moment, Miao Luan felt absurdly cautious, needing to be so careful even though she was a True Disciple of a prominent Holy Land.

With rising anger, Miao Luan coldly scanned her surroundings and, no longer hiding her features, walked directly toward the city's outskirts.

She wanted to see just how capable these Loose Cultivators, who were at most in the Soul Condensation Realm, really were.

Seeing Miao Luan leave, a few Soul Condensation Realm Cultivators exchanged glances and silently followed her.

...

...

As dusk fell and the moon rose into the branches,

Chu Zheng closed the door and stopped receiving visitors. Several Soul Condensation Realm Cultivators had already spontaneously helped him guard the door.

Occasionally offering a third-order Spirit Pill, plenty of Soul Condensation Cultivators were willing to be at his behest.

Such was the status of an Alchemist.

However, Chu Zheng had no intention of learning Alchemy himself. It was too draining on his energy.

Keeping a group of Alchemists at hand was the best choice.

Chu Zheng had harbored this idea long ago, but implementing it brought many issues, ultimately due to inadequate strength.

Capturing a few low-grade Alchemists was pointless as they would lose their utility before long.

The growth of alchemical skills required time and a huge amount of spiritual medicine. Chu Zheng wasn't lacking Spirit Stones, but he didn't have the time to collect spiritual medicine around the world, nor to wait for these Alchemists.

The idea of building a force had already begun to sprout in his mind.

Glancing at the silver moon above, Chu Zheng took a deep breath and pulled out two stone tablets.

[Xuan Tian Martial Barrier (Sixth Order/Incomplete): Insights of a Martial God containing the Xuan Tian Scripture's cultivation methods and fourteen Martial Dao Divine Abilities, imbued with Immortal Path Qi, personally shattered by a True Immortal into six pieces. You now possess two, repairable (0/2000)]

This fragment was significantly larger than the one from Great Zhou, nearly double the size, with a more comprehensive diagram of the cultivation path recorded on it.

Chu Zheng had excavated this fragment from deep within a mountain range, buried several meters underground, untouched by any marks.

Clearly, after the Martial Barrier was shattered, this fragment had spanned a million miles to appear here.

The power of a True Immortal was evident.

Chu Zheng had always been interested in the Martial Dao Divine Abilities recorded on the Martial Barrier. He had already experienced the effects of the Xuan Tian Seal.

The Divine Secret Skills of a Qi Cultivator were accessible according to one's cultivation. Most major divine abilities required the use of natural forces.

Besides major divine abilities like the Five Thunder Righteous Law, smaller divine skills like the Invisibility Technique would grow more powerful with Chu Zheng's increasing cultivation level.

Most minor divine abilities were branches of major ones.

For instance, Transmute Stone to Gold originated from the major divine ability 'Heaven and Earth Creation.'

This was a genuine Creation Technique. The Great Circulatory Qi Guideline only mentioned it briefly, without detailing any cultivation methods.

This type of Creation Technique, when cultivated to a profound level, could use spiritual energy to spontaneously transform spiritual medicine, Immortal Gold, or even create living beings.

The Martial Dao Divine Abilities were more akin to the development of the body's latent potential, possessing unique and formidable aspects.
