Chapter 36: Strength Upgrade
There was a short one-month holiday after the sect mission.
He Qingge wanted to take advantage of this holiday to recuperate and improve his cultivation. At the same time, he wanted to check his harvest this time.
Previously, he had only kept all the treasures outside and had not checked them in detail.
Now that the inner part of the Tian Xuan Sect was relatively safe, he could investigate his gains in detail.
It just so happened that the selection of the legacy disciple of the Peak Master of Imperial Beast Peak would be held in a month.
If he could successfully be selected, he could directly jump out of this current level, and his safety would also be greatly guaranteed.
He had a lot of spirit stones, spirit coins, magic tools, and talismans.
There was probably no servant disciple in the entire Tian Xuan Sect who was richer than him. Even among the outer sect disciples, there were probably not many who were richer than him.
It was really a wave of wealth.
The most prized was the storage bag and the cultivation jade plate that He Qingge had obtained from the two foundational cultivators.
Cultivation techniques were precious anywhere.
He Qingge's current cultivation technique was only the most basic of mantras. The speed of cultivation was very slow, and the efficiency of condensing spiritual energy was also relatively poor.
He had only cultivated three spells—Ignition, Berating, and Lightness.
He was only a servant disciple and not an official disciple. If he wanted to exchange for the sect's internal spells or cultivation techniques, the price he had to pay was slightly higher than that of an official disciple.
Moreover, he wholeheartedly wanted to obtain a spiritual pet with good potential, so he did not spend too much on these things.
Now, he needed to properly improve his strength.
This mission allowed him to see many of his shortcomings.
First of all, the spiritual energy in his body was relatively thin, and the purity was not high.
Fortunately, he was quite proficient in Berating.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to come back alive. He would probably be killed by those two robbers before he could reach the city.
It would be best if he could switch to a stronger basic cultivation technique.
He Qingge took out all the cultivation jade plates he had obtained, as well as some secret manuals.
Lesser Fallen Jade Lotus Technique could help one cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Realm. It used spiritual energy to condense a lotus flower in one's body. The degree of solidification of the petals of the flower represented one's own strength.
It came with a spell, Meteor Fall Lotus Annihilation.
He Qingge had already read this manual and passed it to Wan Wan.
The name of the spell was very domineering, but its power was far from the level of its name.
The method of qi refinement was indeed a little more profound than the Lesser Profound Heaven Technique that he cultivated.
The Great Profound Body Cleansing Record was a body cultivation technique to cultivate the body. It captured the spiritual opportunities of heaven and earth to temper one's body.
It was a cultivation technique that could be cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, the consumption was too great. Even though he had obtained great benefits this time, he felt his scalp go numb when he saw the items he needed for cultivation.
The most important thing was capturing the spiritual machine, which was quite troublesome and a waste of time.
Of course, the description was powerful too.
The name of the Nine Dragons Air Manipulation Technique was very domineering, but it was not an immortal cultivation technique. Instead, it was an ordinary martial arts manual.
An emperor of the mortal world with a crippled spiritual root was unable to cultivate but was unwilling to be lonely, so he stepped into the martial path.
In the end, he relied on his own hard work and the support of the royal family's resources to cultivate to the level of a supreme grandmaster.
Unfortunately, the path of the Supreme Grandmaster (about the same as the strength of the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm, but not as strong as the path of immortal cultivation mainly because one would not have many methods) ended there.
This should be considered the top martial arts secret manual in the mortal world.
The interesting thing about the cultivation technique was that it used a special kind of energy, dragon energy or emperor energy.
An ordinary mortal with a crippled spiritual root was actually able to sense this special energy.
There were many special energies in this world.
Light spirit energy, purple energy, black yellow energy, devil energy, netherworld energy, supreme mystery energy, jade pure energy...
There were countless special energies, but one had to have a true spiritual root to be able to sense them.
He Qingge could not use the jade plate that had been carved on a bronze artifact with a special brush technique either. Xu Muqi had collected it in his storage bag.
After He Qingge finished reading it, he sighed with emotion. That guy was indeed a genius. However, he had no intention of cultivating this for the time being. He would wait and see.
The Thunder Body-Tempering Technique could produce the sound of thunder and lightning with a special vibration frequency, tempering the body in all aspects with the sound of thunder.
Combined with a special medicinal liquid, the sound could be used to forge the body and absorb the essence of the medicinal liquid. When the body was tempered to perfection, the user could use their bare hands to move a level-one magic tool.
When He Qingge saw this cultivation technique, his eyes lit up.
He knew very well that he was not a genius, and his comprehension was average. He had already understood this when he was cultivating various spells.
However, after fusing with the Sound-Gathering Butterfly, he was quite compatible with sound spells.
In just a few short months, he had already cultivated Berating to near-Dao.
The Thunder Body-Tempering Technique was very suitable for him. Although it was a body cultivation technique, the compatibility was probably stronger than any other cultivation technique he was cultivating now.
He then checked the other cultivation-imparting jade plates and the secret cultivation technique records.
In the end, he chose the Little Yinyang Five Elements Secrets.
This cultivation method was quite compatible with the attributes of his spiritual root. It could lead straight to the Foundation Establishment Realm. There was nothing special about it, but it was stable and neutral, and its spiritual power was pure and honest.
He Qingge began to cultivate this cultivation technique in seclusion. At the same time, he also began to cultivate the Thunder Body-Tempering Technique and Berating.
These were the most important.
In front of a waterfall on the back mountain of the Imperial Beast Peak, He Qingge sat naked in the middle of the waterfall, constantly enduring the impact and tempering of the water. His body was trembling in an inexplicable rhythm.
In front of him, a colorful butterfly was emitting an inexplicable sound wave.
Upon careful observation, one could see that the frequency of the sound waves was strangely similar to the frequency of He Qingge's body trembling.
His originally skinny body now looked much stronger. The muscles all over his body were quite eye-catching, but they did not look thick and ugly. Instead, they looked more beautiful and streamlined.
After a month, He Qingge's strength had improved greatly.
His level was still at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, but his strength had more than doubled compared to before.
Berating was even more powerful now, but it still had not broken through to the last stage, which was near-Dao.
The energy cultivation technique had already completely transformed into the Little Yinyang Five Elements Secrets. As it was not a re-cultivation, it only transformed the spiritual power in the body, so it did not take too long.
The spiritual energy in his body was even purer.
The biggest surprise for him was still the Thunder Body-Tempering Technique.
This cultivation method was quite compatible with him. With the help of the Sound-Gathering Butterfly and the nourishment of medicine, He Qingge broke through to the third level of body refinement in a short period of time. It was equivalent to the third level of Qi Refinement, but it was only used to describe the body cultivation realm.
He Qingge could be considered to be a dual cultivator. Usually, unless one was a peerless genius and had sufficient resources or did not plan to break through at all, very few people would do so.
Not only was it a waste of resources, but it was also a waste of time.
Most people would find it difficult to break through before their lifespan was exhausted, so why would they waste time cultivating two types?
The main purpose of cultivating was to break through realms and extend one's lifespan.
It had only been a short month.
With the help of He Qingge's large amount of spirit coins, the strength of the Sound-Gathering Butterfly quickly increased to the fourth level of Qi Refinement.
