Chapter 146 Body Technique and Supernatural Power, Lotus Blossoms with Every Step
Chen Yi didn't completely reject the offer. Firstly, as the other party said, if Chen Yi continued to grow at his current pace, he could go to most places in this secret realm.
On the other hand, as a wealthy man, Young Master Ji is quite extravagant; that bottle of Azure Thunder Brew alone is already worth a fortune.
Moreover, the other party also provided Lei Xiao's formula.
Even if Chen Yi is a cautious person, he should still give it a second thought if he has the opportunity to cooperate with such a person, provided there is no great danger involved.
"That's how it should be."
Brother Xu, there's no need to be too wary of me. In the future, we'll most likely be friends, and less likely strangers. There's almost no possibility of us becoming enemies or rivals.
That's all I have to say. Take care, Brother Xu. If I stay any longer, you'll get restless, haha.
Ji Wuchen was quite straightforward. He tossed down a bottle of Azure Thunder Brew and a recipe, then got up and left gracefully.
Chen Yi's evaluation of Ji Wuchen rose to a level even higher than that of the little monk Linghui.
At the same time, he also held the prodigies of Zhongzhou in high regard.
This is only the fourth person sent to the cultivation world of Qi. The Central Continent is far larger than Qi. There are countless geniuses like this with ancient inheritances, innate Dao bodies, and hundreds of supernatural powers.
Chen Yi felt that he must never be arrogant.
Even now, if it were a life-or-death battle with these geniuses from Zhongzhou, his chances of winning wouldn't be great.
We need to be more cautious and focus on improving our strength first.
As for the inheritance and adventures within this secret realm, he has no rush.
Even with Qiu Li's high cultivation level, he still caused trouble by rashly challenging the fourth Thunder Lion.
This secret realm is definitely not as simple as Ji Wuchen described; there are definitely still dangers lurking within.
Moreover, given Ji Wuchen's abilities, it's said that Chen Yi will only be able to access 99% of the secret realms after his strength increases.
That means there's still one percent of places where Chen Yi would be in danger.
Chen Yi couldn't be sure which one percent he was, so he decided that he would never rush to the front and take any risks unless absolutely necessary.
Anyway, with such powerful prodigies as Qiu Li, the little monk, and Ji Wuchen, we can let them rush to the front and test the danger first.
These individuals, with their prominent backgrounds, must possess formidable methods of self-preservation.
Chen Yi was merely a weak, newly-established third-tier body cultivator, not even having fully achieved the Jade Bone technique, and therefore did not possess such powerful methods.
Naturally, you should avoid it.
With his mind made up, Chen Yi became even more confident in his path of cultivation and self-improvement.
He has many tasks to complete next.
First, continue to sense and absorb the lightning surge attacks within the three layers of lightning fields in order to continue inscribing lightning spirit runes within the body.
Once the runes reach a certain level, challenge the second Thunder Lion to obtain the inheritance from the second stone tablet.
He also perfected the 50th to 54th Thunder Spirit Runes and comprehended the Thunder Spirit Technique inheritance in the second stone tablet.
Second, comprehend the true meaning of the first Thunderclap Inheritance and continue to enhance the application of Thunder Spirit Rune Array within the body for body refinement.
And the application of the lightning spirit rune array simulated by lightning crystals on array artifacts, at present, is just to continue to modify the "horse cage". However, Chen Yi does not have much motivation for this, unless others have a great need for the horse cage, and Chen Yi can obtain a lot of cultivation resources through it.
Third, continue to use the resources at hand to refine the body.
This is the foundation of Chen Yi's cultivation. Whether it's tempering his jade bones or laying the foundation for the first level of body refinement, it all relates to how far Chen Yi can go on the path of body refinement.
This requires constant practice every day.
The third-tier lightning crystals, gold crystals, lightning-gold crystals, and the gold crystal core that has now reached the point of 45 strands of golden radiance merging into one—these are all means by which Chen Yi defends himself.
We still need to keep practicing.
Fourth, Chen Yi's magical power cultivation. He doesn't need to specifically cultivate this yet; most of the cultivation resources he's acquired have already reached the near-third rank or the third rank.
After being devoured and dismantled by the system, a large portion of these resources were used for body refinement, while only a small amount of wood and water elemental spiritual power was used to supplement Chen Yi's cultivation of the Taiyi Longevity True Talisman.
However, Chen Yi's magical power cultivation is lagging behind compared to his current three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit; he needs to work harder to improve it.
Chen Yi estimated that, given his current talent at the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment stage and the resources he had, he would reach the late Foundation Establishment stage in just a few years.
When the time comes, it will be time to plan for the formation of the core. He doesn't aspire to be like those peerless geniuses, whose goal is the Purple Extreme Golden Core, but he must at least form a high-grade true core. Otherwise, if the quality of the core is too low, he may not be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Therefore, it is necessary to prepare some ordinary Crystallization Pills and Core Formation Spiritual Items.
Fifthly, there's Chen Yi's spiritual cultivation. These past few days, while he was comprehending the Thunder Spirit Tide, some of that Thunder Spirit power had also entered Chen Yi's spiritual soul.
It greatly expanded the thundercloud in his soul.
The lightning power within the soul is lethal to demons and ghosts, and it also has terrifying destructive power over the divine sense of ordinary cultivators.
In addition, it is precisely because of the existence of the Thunder Spirit Divine Soul Power that Chen Yi can come and go so easily in this secret realm inheritance hall.
Furthermore, based on what the young monk and Ning Bu'er said, Chen Yi guessed that the final part of the Thunder Soul Sect's inheritance hall was likely related to the power of thunder spirit within the soul.
Although Chen Yi didn't crave such a peerless inheritance, he had been secretly cultivating the power of thunder spirit within his soul.
This is to prevent him from being unable to protect himself if he were actually in that situation.
Chen Yi's entire cultivation goal was to improve his self-preservation and longevity.
With this cheat code, Chen Yi only needs to survive to the end to become invincible.
The above are the things Chen Yi needs to do recently. He is so busy that he hardly has time to rest, not to mention the occasional small puppet making practice or preparing a spiritual food feast.
After Ji Wuchen left, Chen Yi was preparing to activate the multiple protective formations of the horse cage to carry out his daily cultivation.
Suddenly a bald man strode over:
"Benefactor Xu, please do not rush to activate the formation. This humble monk would like to take a break inside your formation."
Chen Yi was surprised.
Unexpectedly, after Ji Wuchen, this little monk was also willing to come to him.
"Young Master Linghui, it's not that I'm unwilling, but I also need to rest, cultivate, and refine weapons, so I simply don't have the time to receive you."
"Amitabha Buddha, Benefactor Xu, this is the third-stage [Golden Steps] technique. Consider it an apology for my abrupt interruption."
This body cultivation method is rarely circulated outside the region. Even similar techniques in Zhongzhou are worth 5 spirit stones at auctions.
I hope Benefactor Xu will not find this objectionable.
With a clear smile, the young monk shook out a piece of Buddha jade and handed it to Chen Yi with both hands.
At the same time, he received a telepathic message in his ear, informing him that the third-tier [Golden Steps] was the prerequisite technique for the [Lotus Steps] supernatural power that the little monk had used earlier.
Chen Yi's heart stirred slightly. He had been quite envious of the [Lotus Steps] technique the little monk used back in the Medicine Valley, a technique that almost achieved the ability to shrink the distance between people.
Now that he has the third stage of the [Golden Steps], which is also a prerequisite for this supernatural power, he naturally cannot refuse.
"Ahem, please come in, Master Linghui."
Chen Yi accepted the Buddha jade without making a sound.
"Xu was fortunate to escape injury during the previous lightning surge attack, so there's no rush for him to recuperate and cultivate himself."
"If you don't mind the simplicity of my stable, young master, please come in and rest."
Linghui walked over with a smile, without exposing Chen Yi's true colors.
After entering, his body glowed with golden light, gradually expelling the invading lightning liquid from his body's acupoints.
After a long while, the paleness in his face gradually returned to normal.
"call--"
The little monk let out a long sigh of relief.
"Benefactor Xu, it's so much better here. Without the interference of the external lightning field, my injuries are healing much faster."
I thank you, Benefactor Xu.
The young monk raised one hand and performed a Buddhist salute to Chen Yijian to express his gratitude.
Chen Yi smiled and said, "It's alright, as long as the little monk doesn't mind."
"By the way, Benefactor Xu, last time underground, this humble monk said I wanted to communicate with you, specifically to learn about your methods of cultivating and applying this Thunder Crystal."
Would it be possible to exchange a few words?
Inside the horse cage, the young monk observed the hidden lightning crystals within the iron cages, which subtly formed arrays, providing excellent protection against the three layers of lightning field.
It can even block the thunder tide.
It is something I yearn for in my heart.
Previously, although Lei Chao had weakened the wisp of high-level demonic thought within him considerably, he had not been able to completely eradicate it.
Therefore, he still has some need for the method of cultivating with lightning crystals.
Chen Yi had already discussed this method with Ning Bu'er, so there was no need to hide it from the little monk.
However, since it's an exchange, there should naturally be an exchange of equally effective techniques.
"I wonder if the Vajra Skill's 'Lotus Step' movement technique that you recently demonstrated, young master, is a closely guarded secret of your sect?"
Chen Yi asked.
The young monk understood the implied meaning.
"I understand what Benefactor Xu means."
The young monk switched to telepathy, saying, "【Step by Step Lotus】is a quasi-supernatural-level skill of our Vajra Temple related to movement techniques."
Normally, this kind of ability would be a closely guarded secret.
"However, since Benefactor Xu has a need, this humble monk may pass it on to Benefactor Xu first."
The cultivation method is the same as the previous Golden Crystal Core method.
Thirty years from now, this humble monk will have a way to allow Benefactor Xu to use this method openly and legitimately.
However, for the next thirty years, Master Xu should keep a low profile and try not to be discovered by the junior monks.
Of course, if something happens to this humble monk thirty years from now, then Benefactor Xu should try to avoid the disciples of the Vajra Temple in Zhongzhou.
This is all I have to say. Benefactor Xu can decide for himself whether to exchange.
After thinking it over, Chen Yi agreed to the deal.
Immediately, they each transmitted the key points of their cultivation techniques to the other using telepathy.
The method Chen Yi taught the young monk was exactly the same as the one he had taught Ning Bu'er in the underground cave that day.
After Chen Yi finished speaking,
The young monk stared in disbelief.
"Is there really anyone in this world who can successfully cultivate such a technique?"
"Little master, I wonder how much you learned from the [Thunder Spirit Body Tempering Technique] stone tablet on the second floor?"
Logically speaking, with your level of skill in crafting golden crystal cores, young master, you should theoretically be able to succeed in the method of condensing lightning crystals.
If the young master still feels unable to cultivate it, he can go back to that stone tablet and study it more; perhaps he will gain something from it.
Chen Yi then gave a few more detailed instructions.
The young monk suddenly realized...
At the same time, he felt embarrassed after the other party revealed the entire method of cultivating the Thunder Crystal.
Only then did the young monk realize how difficult the method of condensing lightning crystals was.
He realized he had gotten the better deal.
His own "Lotus Steps" movement technique, a quasi-divine ability, was similar in difficulty, but far inferior in terms of skillful application.
The "Lotus Steps" technique is more often used for traveling or escaping, while the "Thunder Crystal" technique truly embodies the core essence of Ba Jing's body-refining method.
Moreover, it is comparable to the Golden Crystal of Vajra Kung Fu.
So, the little monk thought for a moment,
He then took out another aid for cultivating footwork techniques—the Golden Lotus Buddha Seal. This was a golden lotus platform engraved with Buddhist secret patterns, containing the artistic conception and spiritual energy trajectory of "lotus blossoms with every step".
"Benefactor Xu, only those with Buddhist wisdom can truly understand the meaning of this item."
You can ponder this for yourself. If you have a connection with Buddhism, you may be able to glean some profound insights from it.
This item, when combined with the "Lotus Steps" technique, can compensate for Xu's lack of understanding regarding the Thunder Crystal cultivation method.
However, if you truly have no affinity with Buddhism, there's no need to force yourself to comprehend it. I promise that if you fail to cultivate the "Lotus Steps" technique, I will find a substitute method in thirty years to replace it.
The young monk handed the jade slip to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi took the jade slip and scanned it with his divine sense. He found that it was surrounded by Buddhist light and indeed required Buddhist techniques to activate.
Chen Yi nodded and thanked him, "Then I thank you, young master. I don't think I have any affinity for Buddhism, but I will try my best to comprehend it."
He wasn't worried at all about not being able to handle the [Golden Lotus Buddha Seal], because he could digest and absorb its devouring spirituality and transform it into the enlightenment needed to cultivate the [Step by Step Lotus].
The young monk stayed in the stable for most of the day, without the continuous attacks from the third-order lightning field outside.
He was able to completely expel the lightning spiritual energy from his body, and his body quickly recovered.
This has been observed by many talented individuals.
Of course, he did not hide the first part of his deal with Chen Yi, and presented it openly.
After leaving, the young monk bowed to Chen Yi again and thanked him.
Thus, with Young Master Ji not minding the simplicity of the stable, and Qin Chengcheng and the little monk's bodies quickly healed,
The other prodigies weren't fools either; they naturally understood the benefits of Chen Yi's horse cage.
They had a few options: leave the Inheritance Hall and find a safe environment outside to heal, but then they would have to go through the second or third level of the Thunder Pool again, which would be extremely taxing.
Alternatively, one could endure the lightning strikes on the third floor and slowly heal.
Now, it seems Chen Yi has offered a third option.
Despite its ugly appearance, the cage inside can withstand attacks from lightning fields and greatly accelerate the body's recovery speed.
Moreover, compared to the arrogant and incompetent talents of Qi State, it was the talents of Zhongzhou who took the initiative to humble themselves and come to negotiate with Chen Yi.
The next one to arrive was the swordsman with his left hand raised.
He left Chen Yi a second-tier peak magic sword, which was worth several thousand spirit stones.
Later, groups of talented individuals from the State of Qi also came to rest and recuperate.
Each person left behind three to five thousand spirit stones as payment for using this precious land to heal their injuries.
Several days later, only Ning Bu'er, who had always wanted to come but was beaten to it, and Qiu Li, who had been gritting her teeth and relying on her own strength to fight against the power of the minefield, remained.
