Now that Liang Sheng had made up his mind, he first re-examined the concealment formation within his cave mansion and carefully began to operate the Primordial Mysterious Technique. If there were any signs of trouble, he would immediately stop cultivating.
However, the result of this cultivation session was beyond Liang Sheng’s expectations, as the operation of the Primordial Mysterious Technique within his body was extremely smooth.
Moreover, the vast spiritual power of his Foundation Establishment Realm was continuously absorbed by the Primordial Mysterious Technique, and Liang Sheng unknowingly immersed himself in cultivation.
When he came to his senses, the situation inside his body could only be described as pleasantly surprising. The light golden fog-like spiritual power had turned into a sea of clouds.
Furthermore, the liquid-like mana of the Foundation Establishment Realm had been somewhat consumed, making it clear that his Primordial Mysterious Technique would progress faster, as it had been when he was in the secular world, with higher realms practicing in reverse for greater efficiency.
Seeing this, Liang Sheng could hardly contain his excitement. Indeed, under the Talent of Innocent Foolishness with no bottlenecks, the ancient techniques were the most suitable for his cultivation.
What surprised Liang Sheng the most was that the two types of spiritual power could be transformed into each other. If he operated Upper Pure Immortal Scripture or Pure Yang Pill Scripture, he could transform the spiritual power of Primordial Mysterious Technique into his current mana, and the conversion rate was astonishing.
As for operating the Primordial Mysterious Technique, it could naturally transform the mana of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage into light golden spiritual energy, albeit at a low rate. This indicated that although the two different eras had different cultivation techniques, their essence was the same.
At this moment, looking at the Attribute Panel in his realm, Liang Sheng couldn’t help but recall the divisions of ancient techniques realms previously mentioned in miscellaneous records.
Actually, the divisions of ancient techniques realms were quite simple and far less complicated than the current divisions in the Cultivation World.
Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Spirit from Qi, and Refining the God and Reversing the Void.
As for the realms beyond that, since the ancient cultivation era was too far away from the present, there was no subsequent discussion, so Liang Sheng could only guess.
After all, in his previous life on Blue Star, there were many legends almost corresponding to this. Could the subsequent realm be Refinement Void?
Of course, there was no answer to this, but even with just the three confirmed cultivation realms, there was enough for Liang Sheng to study for a long time.
At the moment, he was in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage realm, but according to his Attribute Panel, he was still at the Refining Essence into Qi Stage.
He wondered what the Golden Core Realm would be like. Would it be equivalent to the Refining Spirit from Qi stage of ancient techniques?
Liang Sheng naturally knew nothing about this, and perhaps only those who transitioned from ancient cultivation techniques to modern cultivation could establish a one-to-one correspondence.
At this moment, as he relaxed, he couldn’t help but stretch his body. In an instant, he could hear the flow of blood in his body like a great river, with plasma like mercury.
Perhaps this was the essence of Refining Essence into Qi. If it were not for this, how could one talk about refining essence into qi, drawing the essence out of thin air?
At this moment, he had an epiphany as to why Primordial Mysterious Technique Beginner required absorbing a trace of Purple Qi at sunrise. It was probably the essence of Heaven and Earth, making up for his body’s needs.
For some reason, a phrase suddenly flashed through Liang Sheng’s mind: the way of Heaven is to deplete the surplus and replenish the deficiency.
At this moment, a glimmer of inspiration flashed through his mind, but no matter how hard he thought, the reason behind his epiphany eluded him.
After pondering for a while, he still had no answer, so he stopped thinking about it. Since his Foundation Establishment Middle Stage allowed him to practice the Primordial Mysterious Technique in reverse, why waste time?
The next moment, Liang Sheng gathered his thoughts and continued cultivating.
However, early the following morning, he was forced to interrupt his cultivation, not because he reached his limit but because someone was calling him at his door.
By the time Liang Sheng opened his cave mansion, Shen Wuque was dragging Liang Sheng towards Jin Quanxiu’s cave mansion, “Junior brother, hurry up, our master has something for us to do.”
Although Liang Sheng regretted he couldn’t focus on cultivating, he naturally didn’t dare to delay when Jin Quanxiu summoned him.
“You have arrived?”
Upon entering Jin Quanxiu’s Cave Mansion, Liang Sheng glanced at the corner of his eye and noticed that Peak Master Jin Jun was not there, and he did not know when the latter had left the Green Cloud Peak.
More importantly, Jin Quanxiu’s face was calm, and it was impossible to see how their progress had been yesterday, which was quite boring.
At this moment, not only Liang Sheng and his companion were present in the Cave Mansion, all the Foundation Establishment Disciples of Green Cloud Peak were present, including Xiao Qin and Pei Tianshi. Their eyes signaled that they had greeted Liang Sheng.
“The sect has already decided to have our Green Cloud Peak take responsibility for a portion of the Spiritual Pill tasks. I’m sure you’ve heard the wind before.
This time 1 can tell you explicitly that with the tide of spiritual power, other sects have found accurate information, and there have been reactions in the Wilderness Beast Marsh.
It is expected that the beast tide will arrive soon. The last time it happened was three thousand years ago. According to sect records, the impact of the beast tide is generally not significant. The Three Sects and Six Orders can easily block it.
Of course, this does not mean that the Three Sects and Six Orders are not in danger. So, our Dan Ding Sect’s mission still remains the same as before, which is to refine Spiritual Pills to support other sects.
They block the beast tide, and we, Dan Ding Sect, provide support with spiritual pills. Since our sect has the fewest disciples and cannot afford large personnel losses, refining pills for support is the best way.
So, everyone, this time, you must do your duty wholeheartedly. After all, in case there are problems on the frontline of the beast tide, even us alchemists will have to support the battlefield.
I think everyone should recognize the reality for not wanting to go to the front lines of the battlefield on their own, do their best to refine pills for frontline support, which is actually ensuring their own safety.”
At this, Liang Sheng and the others immediately looked solemn, “Master (Peak Master), rest assured, we will do our best.”
“Very good. Here are your respective tasks. The materials for the Elixir Refinement Spiritual Grass have been placed in the Alchemy Pavilion. You can refine the elixir, and the supplies will be provided continuously.”
Then, Liang Sheng and the others received their task jade slips. After reading the content, Liang Sheng couldn’t help but be startled.
The tasks were surprisingly “numerous”; it seemed that he could only “steal leisure from his busy schedule” to practice the Primordial Mysterious Technique.
If Liang Sheng were an ordinary Early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, the task volume in the jade slip would probably make his feet leave the ground.
However, this also shows that the beast tide this time is probably coming violently. Otherwise, although his alchemy skills are “good,” he is ultimately only at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage, so why would he have so many alchemy tasks?
Shen Wuque also frowned at the same time. As they were about to leave, they were stopped by Jin Quanxiu. The other disciples did not have much curiosity, they directly bowed and left, and went straight to the Alchemy Pavilion.
“Your eldest Senior Brother is still in closed-door cultivation, so I have divided his tasks among you. If you have any objections, you can express them now, don’t be embarrassed.”
How could Liang Sheng refuse at this moment? Naturally, Shen Wuque had no objection either. Upon seeing this, Jin Quanxiu was extremely satisfied.
The character of his disciples was still trustworthy. Since this was the case, he no longer held up the two, as he had his own heavy tasks at the moment.
As the Green Cloud Peak Master and at the Golden Core Realm, the spiritual pills he was responsible for, whether in quality or quantity, were extremely difficult.
But he had no choice. After all, the Sect Master had mentioned at the meeting that there might be a top-level Demon King appearing in this beast tide; otherwise, the Back Mountain Hunting Ground would not have had such a huge commotion previously.
Watching the backs of Liang Sheng and Shen Wuque as they left, Jin Quanxiu could only hope that the other sects could successfully resolve this beast tide this time and keep losses at a minimum, just like three thousand years ago.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Dan Ding Sect to remain unscathed.
An eventful time indeed..
