Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 387 - 225: Cultivation Method Deduction, Core Formation Middle Stage!

Chapter 387: Chapter 225: Cultivation Method Deduction, Core Formation Middle Stage!

After storing the golden solids formed from the Golden Water, staying here held no more meaning for Qi Chuan.

Thus, Qi Chuan glanced at the white demon ape’s corpse on the ground, transformed into an escape light, and left the place.

Some time later, Qi Chuan returned to the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.

Upon returning to his Tier Three Lower Grade Cave Mansion, Qi Chuan first decided to start training in the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Technique.

Following his usual practice, Qi Chuan began by carefully browsing through the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Technique in his mind, meticulously comprehending the meaning of every word and sentence.

He earnestly read it once after half a day.

A slight enlightenment emerged in his heart.

At this moment, a line of characters appeared before him.

[You meticulously read the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Technique, trying to comprehend it, triggering tenfold critical strike, gaining ten times the insight, your understanding of the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Technique slightly improved.]

Some insights into the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Technique emerged in his mind.

After digesting them, Qi Chuan’s understanding of the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Technique deepened significantly.

However, Qi Chuan did not show any joy, instead slightly frowning.

Because the understanding in his mind told him that merely relying on hundredfold critical strikes to comprehend the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Technique would not suffice.

An additional medium was necessary.

That medium was the Wood Thunder Pine.

Wood Thunder is its name.

This divine pine belongs to the thunder attribute type of divine wood.

It typically grows in extremely harsh environments, naturally attracting heavenly thunder from above during storms, absorbing its powers to evolve.

However, such divine wood is exceedingly rare and hard to find.

Almost as rare as the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Technique itself.

Where was Qi Chuan to find it?

"Forget it, I can only let nature take its course."

Qi Chuan sighed.

He did not say he would give up on cultivating the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Technique.

He had to cultivate it; understanding it came first.

As for the Wood Thunder Pine, he would slowly search for it using the powers of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect. Once there’s news, he’d obtain it.

In the following days, Qi Chuan settled into a routine cultivation pace.

Usually, he stayed within his cave mansion practicing.

Periodically, he went to the Celestial Secret Mountain Range, utilizing the Bone-Eroding Evil Wind Cave, to refine the Bright King Technique, honing his physical body.

Qi Chuan didn’t intend to force a speedy breakthrough of the physical body realm.

As the saying goes, haste makes waste.

His physical body was now facing the transition from the pinnacle of Tier Two Body Cultivation to the Tier Three Early Stage Body Cultivator.

This bottleneck was as challenging as breaking through from Foundation Establishment Perfection to the Core Formation Early Stage.

Therefore, it was by no means simple.

It required gradual grinding.

Fortunately, Qi Chuan possessed hundredfold critical strikes.

By continuously cultivating the Bright King Technique in the Bone-Eroding Evil Wind Cave, he would eventually break through.

There was no reason not to succeed in breaking through.

From this perspective, the cultivation of Qi Chuan’s physical body and the enhancement of his divine soul realm were simpler and clearer compared to his mana cultivation.

Unlike mana cultivation, where encountering a bottleneck required using various means to increase success probability.

Of course, there was a downside.

That lay in the uncertainty associated with physical body and divine soul breakthroughs.

At times, you might linger within a bottleneck for an extended period without a breakthrough.

It’s somewhat mystical.

Conversely, with mana cultivation, reaching the critical point with sufficient preparation usually guaranteed success.

This was the huge difference between the two.

Despite the difficulty, Qi Chuan spent half a month deducing the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Technique thanks to the hundredfold critical strike.

Now he was only left with the problem of finding the Wood Thunder Pine.

In a flash, six years had passed.

On this day, Qi Chuan, sitting cross-legged on his bed in the cave mansion, suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam flashing past.

"My mana cultivation has finally reached the peak of the Core Formation Early Stage."

Qi Chuan felt a bit pleased internally.

He had to admit, taking just six years to reach the breakthrough threshold of Core Formation True Master realm was impressively fast, even to the point of absurdity.

It was, after all, the realm of Core Formation True Master!

The Flame Marrow Pill refined from Celestial Heart Flame Marrow played a critical role.

In addition, the Tier Three Lower Grade Cave Mansion and the White Dragon Tripod’s double Spiritual Qi boost were instrumental.

Lastly, the hundredfold critical strike.

With all these factors combined, Qi Chuan accomplished in six years what most ordinary Core Formation Early Stage True Masters would find difficult to achieve.

"Since my mana is at its peak, it’s time to... deduce the Eighth Layer of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique..."

A hint of helplessness appeared on Qi Chuan’s face.

This was when the drawbacks of the cultivation method became apparent.

Though powerful, the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique only allowed Qi Chuan to cultivate to the peak of Core Formation Early Stage.

To break through further, he had to deduce the Eighth Layer of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique himself.

Whereas, if he were cultivating another method, he could already begin to accumulate inspirational opportunities for breakthrough by now.

However, because further layers of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique could be derived and acquired personally, it offered considerable long-term benefits.

After all, even if other methods were slightly stronger or of higher grade, they couldn’t be cultivated to the end; at a certain level, one would have to switch to an even higher-grade method anyway.
