Chapter 72: Chapter 71 “Blazing Sun Melting Technique

“Day 350 of the 14th year, Jiang Xiaobai broke through to the eighth layer of the Fetal Breathing Stage, significantly advancing his strength.”

“Day 355 of the 14th year, Yang Fu achieved Perfection in the Five Elements Spirit Spiral, breaking through to the fourth layer of the Fetal Breathing Stage, greatly increasing his strength!”

“Yang Fu self-taught the ‘Talisman’ skill, capable of crafting First Grade Talismans.”

“For the first time, a descendant of the Yang Family broke through to the fourth layer of the Fetal Breathing Stage, clearing the path to the Immortal World, +60 Incense!”

“For the first time, the Yang Family obtained the ‘Talisman’ skill from the Hundred Cultivation Skills, +100 Incense!”

“Incense: 640.”

While Yang Shi was secluded in the Thunder Body Refining Room, there was a continuous streak of good news at home.

Jiang Xiaobai and Yang Fu, who had moved near Spirit Lake for cultivation, consecutively broke through their realms.

Jiang Xiaobai was doing well, steadily and firmly progressing, aided by the Wood Element Affinity++ talent, and the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array constructed from the Five Elements Spirit Beads, faster than other Loose Cultivators with Five Spirit Roots.

Yang Genshuo was surprised by Yang Fu.

This kid was incredible!

Drawing Talismans while cultivating simultaneously, facing the challenge of 5 times the difficulty in cultivation, he gradually mastered the Five Elements Transfer Skill.

“Yang Fu is really good at earning Incense… Lately, the Yang Family’s Incense has been maintained well. Xiaobai keeps up the good work, and when Yang Shi returns, let’s have another child!”

Every few days, Yang Genshuo initiated a Blessing: Gathering Spirit for Yang Fu to help boost his cultivation pace, which was currently well sustained.

“I just gave 160 Incense, that should last another 80 days.”

At this moment, Yang Fu put down the Gray Wolf Brush, looking at the stack of First Grade Talismans he had drawn.

“Hmm… I’ve completely mastered the First Grade Talisman, only my repertoire of spells is somewhat lacking. I wonder when I can learn a few more.”

Snap!

Look at this!

Yang Fu, not only highly talented but also keen on learning!

Yang Genshuo was almost moved to tears.

“So, the child from someone else’s family does exist… Losing to such a person in childhood is no shame.”

Comparatively, Yang Fushuo was playing with mud, having built a mud stove and stuffed it with sticks.

“Brother~ Brother~ Burn! Burn!”

Snap!

With dirty hands, Yang Fushuo grabbed Yang Fu to light the fire.

Yang Fu patted his younger brother’s head.

“You need to be careful when you’re playing, make sure not to burn yourself.”

Snap!

Yang Fu pinched a magic formula, and a bright flame shot out from his hand, igniting the mud stove.

“Burn! Burn! Burn!”

Yang Fushuo excitedly threw his hand-made mud pellets into it, which burst with crackling sounds.

Jiang Xiaobai looked at his mischievous younger son and said helplessly,

“Shuo’er, go play by yourself, don’t disturb your brother’s cultivation.”

Snap!

The whole family was happily united amid the sound of Hu Zi whipping the ‘slave.’

“360 days in a year, Yang Shi emerged from seclusion, carrying thunder, dispelling all demonic Qi, with surged Qi-Blood!”

Before entering seclusion, Yang Shi was 177 cm tall, but within a month, he had grown to 183 cm, becoming much more robust.

His body hair shed, completely transforming him into a muscle powerhouse.

His entire physique had doubled in strength!

If previously he could overpower other Innate Masters, now with his doubled physical condition… he could annihilate those ordinary Innate Masters within minutes.

“I wonder who’s stronger now, me or my master.”

Yang Shi clenched his fist, feeling the surging power, brimming with confidence!

With his current physique, facing Demon Cultivators at the first and second layers of Qi Cultivation, he could take them down without even using American Iaido.

That Xiang Pichi he had struggled to kill before… he could now make him kneel with just a few punches.

What about Earth Venerate Immortal Technique Summoning Spell? I’ll take the hits from three Earth Puppets with my body! Two punches to stop your Spiritual Power circulation! A sword to chop off your Earth Arm!

Fancy tricks!

@@novelbin@@

“So, an Innate Master’s body can be this strong…”

At this moment, Yang Shi somewhat understood why Danai, the Martial Saint, was so revered in the Immortal Cultivation World. If he could truly enhance his body to even more terrifying extents, then to him, those Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators… would be nothing more than that.

Yang Genshuo saw Yang Shi radiating with thunderous brilliance, his skin forged into a bronze color, looking like a Divine General from ancient Greece.

“He actually forged his body to such an extent, so strong!”

During this month, he could observe from a godlike perspective what was happening to Yang Shi’s body.

A First Grade Elixir “Vajra Unbreakable Pill” and a Second Grade Elixir “Nine-Turned Qi Blood Pill”, purely strengthening the body, infused Yang Shi with a massive external force!

The key was… the “Nine-Turned Qi Blood Pill” reacted chemically with the 13 Demon Devices inside Yang Shi’s body, directly pulling out and converting the Demonic Qi into Qi-Blood!

He didn’t know how many had been slaughtered to accumulate that Demonic Qi, which Yang Shi had absorbed more than half of, equivalent to decades of arduous cultivation!

Furthermore, with Xuan Stone Sect’s Thunder Body Refining Room, it was as if it had been custom-made for martial cultivators like them!

Thunder aided with elixirs for body refining and purifying Demonic Qi, enhancing all effects to another level.

It made the “Nine-Turned Qi Blood Pill,” which was originally a Second Grade Elixir, as effective as a Third Grade Immortal Pill for Yang Shi!

In one month, it was as if he had been reborn.

“Ah~ I really want to eat a proper meal!”

Yang Shi had been eating Grain Avoidance Cakes for a month… By now, his mouth could taste a bird faintly.

After he came out of the practice room, he headed straight to the Spiritual Food Hall and feasted riotously, eating five spirit-tailed chickens before he felt alive again.

“I’ve been here at Xuan Stone Sect for a month now; it’s time to get serious.”

He had only two purposes for coming to the Xuan Stone Sect: to sell and to buy.

The Grain Avoidance Cakes were already sold; next, he needed to purchase Immortal Cultivation Supplies for the Yang Family.

Yang Shi took out the list he had made before departing.

At the top of the list was a Fire Element Cultivation Technique that could at least be cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

“Great Ancestor said that Shuo’er was born with an Alchemy Saint Body and a prominent Fire Spirit Root; he wanted to choose the best Fire Element Cultivation Technique for him.”

There were no Fire Element Cultivation Techniques in the Yang Family’s repertoire, and the Loose Cultivation Market had been sparse in good items due to the disturbances caused by Demon Cultivators in recent years; Yang Shi hadn’t found a Fire Element Cultivation Technique.

He wandered around Xuanbao Town for a while but surprisingly couldn’t find a shop that sold Cultivation Techniques.

He asked an Outer Disciple, who looked puzzled.

“You go to the Scripture Storage Pavilion for Cultivation Techniques; what are you doing in Xuanbao Town? Do you still need to buy practice material? Every Outer Disciple can choose one Cultivation Technique.”

“Oh~ I see! Thank you, Senior Brother!”

Yang Shi was trapped in the Workshop mindset, thinking everything required buying and selling.

But now, he was an Outer Disciple of Xuan Stone Sect, and he had entry-level blessings!

Yang Shi headed straight to the Xuan Stone Sect’s Scripture Storage Pavilion, where the gatekeeper examined his Outer Disciple token.

“Outer Disciples can only choose one Cultivation Technique; make sure you decide well before taking one.”

“Understood!”

The Scripture Storage Pavilion was a towering pavilion filled with various bamboo slips of Cultivation Techniques.

Organized by Five Elements, there were six layers, each of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth occupying one layer, and some special Cultivation Techniques were placed on the topmost layer.

When Yang Genshuo heard “special Cultivation Techniques,” his eyes lit up!

Those four words almost equated to finding a good deal; he directed Yang Shi to start from the top sixth layer.

After a round with Yang Shi, Yang Genshuo’s brain began to swell as he realized one fact: special ≠ powerful.

Special Cultivation Techniques were just dissimilar to the more straightforwardly directed Five Elements Cultivation Techniques and were primarily suitable for cultivators with unique constitutions.

For example… the “Five Elements Transfer Skill” that they found on a person from the Miao Family was also recorded here.

This set of techniques was also the perfect match for Yang Fu’s skills.

And clearly, Yang Fushuo was not so special; he was merely a plain Innate Alchemy Saint Body.

In the fire section of Cultivation Techniques, Yang Genshuo spent half a day selecting and finally chose a Cultivation Technique for Yang Fushuo.

“Blazing Sun Melting Technique”

“Constantly visualize the sun during cultivation, infusing the Fire Spiritual Energy within one’s body with a trace of Sun Fire Element, refining everything to the extreme with True Essence Fire.”

“Includes a basic alchemy and basic artifact refining manual.”

“Comes with three basic spells: Blazing Sun Melting Technique, Fire Control Skill, Flame Spirit.”

This Cultivation Technique was strictly aligned with Alchemy Fire Cultivators, especially with its included basic explanations of alchemy and artifact refining which were very suited for newcomers to the Alchemy Dao; it was significant for the Yang Family.

After all, the path of alchemy was still uncharted territory for the Yang Family, and Fire Element Alchemy Masters at the Qi Refinement Realm were seldom seen in Loose Cultivation Markets.

Or should it be said… after becoming an Alchemist, one wouldn’t visit such a low-grade Loose Cultivation Market.

The Cultivation Technique’s eponymous spell, “Blazing Sun Melting Technique,” was aimed to directly enhance both alchemy and artifact refining; it was basically setting the path for Yang Fushuo, just to follow the route of committed alchemy cultivation.

This set of techniques could be cultivated up to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

With the choice made by the Great Ancestor, Yang Shi had no objections; he knew too little about the Immortal Cultivation path.

The keeper of the Scripture Storage Pavilion chuckled when he saw the technique Yang Shi had chosen.

“Are you intending to cultivate the Fire Element Alchemy Dao, huh?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I’ve seen many Outer Disciples like you… This ‘Blazing Sun Melting Technique’ is the most chosen Cultivation Technique in the entire Scripture Storage Pavilion.”

“Ah? Really?”

Yang Shi had thought his Great Ancestor’s insight would be unique…

Yang Genshuo couldn’t help but touch his nose.

“Following the mainstream isn’t bad… It at least proves that most people recognize the value of this technique.”

If they couldn’t find a good deal, then choosing something useful was fine.

The gatekeeper laughed and said, “You newcomers ah… only know one side but not the other; everyone knows that alchemy is among the upper-level skills in the Cultivation Hundred Skills, and cultivators can earn a good amount of Spirit Stones every year through alchemy, but…”

“But what?”
