I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 153 - 127: [Revised] Yuebai’s Diary_2
Master Bailu has been cultivating Ginseng Spirits over the years, collecting seven kinds named Big Treasure, Second Treasure, Third Treasure... Little Xiu.
I think... Ginseng Spirits should be chopped up for soup or tied together to soak in wine!
They run around and hide every day, with bad tempers!
Every day I enter the Elixir Medicine Institute, those smelly treasures throw dirt clumps at me.
One time, I tied up the runaway Third Treasure to a post, and later that afternoon when Master Bailu taught me alchemy, Fourth Treasure inexplicably appeared in my pill furnace, with some broken tendrils, trying to frame me.
End of the month, the Elixir Medicine Institute once again is in a state of lamentation.
Is alchemy appraisal difficult? I could pass with my eyes closed.
Today, the Separation Fire Technique broke through to the Second Layer, let’s try adding Wood Element Essence Qi to see if I can refine an Upper-Level Yuan Nourishing Elixir.
...
[Horse Year, December 30]
During the alchemy assessment, I was kicked out by Master Bailu.
This is not fair!
Why give me full marks without letting me take the assessment?
Did she consider the other disciples’ feelings? All I did was open a furnace of Upper-Level Yuan Nourishing Elixirs that day.
Nothing to do today, went to find Lu Nanzhi, but she went to Heavenly Gang Peak again.
The Supreme Elder took Lu Nanzhi out once, and when she came back, she shut herself in her room for three days.
I went to see her, she said she had gone astray before and from now on would focus on Water as her primary element assisted by Ice, so as not to waste her gifted Water Spirit Body.
I told her about Hee Wangchen’s Mayfly Dragon Binding Array, which can perfectly utilize the characteristics of Water.
After that, Lu Nanzhi began frequently carrying her sword to ’request’ Hee Wangchen to array for her to break.
Xie Jingshan was also absent, and since I shared my insights on Fire Generates Wind with him, he went to the Sword Tomb to refine Fire Element Sword Method and comprehend Wind Chasing Sword Intent.
If he can understand the transformation of fire and wind, he might find his unique Sword Dao path.
Everyone is working hard, I must not fall behind.
The Vajra Furnace Skill has broken through to the Third Furnace with its associated body refining effects from daily cultivation.
Last time at Mountain and Sea Building, I chose a fire attribute high-level Talisman Treasure, ’Fire Crow Map,’ combined with the insights from the Separation Fire Technique and recent Fire Alchemy Method, my control of fire has become more precise.
In doing so, my understanding of Fire Generates Wind has deepened, and I finally understand how Zhuo Qingfeng saw through my Clone Illusion during the small competition.
Any object in motion creates airflow, forming small winds, while clones belong to illusions rather than entities, so there is no wind during motion.
I thus realized a little technique, not exactly a spell, and named it ’Wind Net,’ converting Wind Divine Sense to Wind Spiritual Energy, spreading it out to guard against anyone approaching.
Even Shen Huaxi’s advanced concealment techniques can be unraveled, unless he remains perfectly still before I spread the Wind Net.
I think Zhuo Qingfeng must have something similar, which is why he easily broke my Clone Illusion.
Besides these, recently in my spare time, I’ve been contemplating the entry-level cultivation technique of the Immortal Ganoderma Clan, The Little Thousand Leaves Hand.
It’s interesting; Immortal Ganoderma as a spiritual medicine was enlightened by human True Immortals in ancient times, passed down cultivation methods, which led to today’s Immortal Ganoderma Clan.
This Little Thousand Leaves Hand, combining human cultivation methods with demon clan’s Refining God methods, has been handed down and amended for generations, making it quite comprehensible now.
I am not sure how other demon clans cast spells, but the Immortal Ganoderma Clan’s way resembles forming hand seals, just that they do it within their Sea of Consciousness.
Immortal Ganoderma seedlings develop two large leaves, and with the entry method of The Thousand Leaves Hand, the leaves can be transformed into human-like hands in the Sea of Consciousness, equating to having two extra hands there for casting spells.
I now have such in my Sea of Consciousness, the two large leaves split into five fingers, each containing an attribute.
It’s said that refining The Little Thousand Leaves Hand to its pinnacle becomes the True Thousand Leaves Hand, with a single divine thought, a thousand seals may ensue, shaking the heavens and earth.
But this is just legend; otherwise, if the Immortal Ganoderma Clan was so formidable, how could they be bullied to near extinction?
The hand seal casting has not succeeded yet, steady progress is key.
Today is New Year’s Eve, Master went out of the sect on business, we from Huaxi Valley gathered to have a meal; thus, it counted as celebrating the new year.

Put pressure on Mountain Lord Qionglin to bleed, attempted Gold Foundation Establishment Elixir.
Failed!

[Goat Year, March 20]
Heard Ge Yuchan is preparing to close up and establish her foundation, she’s set to break Heavenly Interence Sect’s fastest Foundation Establishment record.
I feel a bit bittersweet, but only slightly, sincerely hoping she attains the Third Grade Dao Platform, as I believe she must be working even harder than me where others cannot see.
I am just shy of achieving Ninth-Level Qi Cultivation Perfection, at the current pace, three months should suffice, not too far behind.
I tied up the seven Spiritual Ginseng Treasures together, and in front of them, I cast the Five-Layer Grass Wood Technique, turning a spiritual medicine into ash; they all fainted.
Attempting to refine the Five Elements Foundation Establishment Elixir continues to fail.
The Little Thousand Leaves Hand casting succeeded!

[Goat Year, April 20, Grain Rain]
Practicing at Heavenly Cry Peak, alchemy at Ten Thousand Laws Hall, the seven Spiritual Ginseng actively helping me move the rush cushion, gather medicinal materials.
Mountain Lord Qionglin, Spiritual Toad, and White-Tailed Phoenix Lord can’t be found, went to Heavenly Sin Peak and Heavenly Prison Peak to find Red Flame Steed and Mountain Guardian Turtle.
...
[Goat Year, May 5, Beginning of Summer]
The Gold Foundation Establishment Elixir was successfully refined!
Mountain Lord Qionglin was delighted to know I wouldn’t bleed it anymore, immediately gleeful, actively helping me drag the runaway Spiritual Toad and White-Tailed Phoenix Lord to the Elixir Room, guarding the door lest they escape.
I’ll treat Mountain Lord Qionglin to a special meal!
Master is particularly busy recently, saying major sects have dispatched Nascent Soul True Monarchs who have already set up camp at Sun Erosion Sect’s mountain gate, soon to jointly open the Land of Azure Flame Secret Realm with eighteen Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
At the secret realm’s initial opening, the laws are not solid enough; only Foundation Establishment disciples are allowed to enter to explore, clearing out demonic beasts and remnant Ghost Clan there.
Master also said Qing Nangzi was invited to oversee camp medical logistics, and Shen Huaxi is among them; his cultivation is low, so he won’t be permitted in the secret realm.
Master left me some protective items, telling me to cultivate at ease, establish my foundation soon, and he’ll wait for me at Sun Erosion Sect.

[Goat Year, June 6, Grain in Ear]
Ninth-Level Qi Cultivation Perfection achieved, Water Element Foundation Establishment Elixir was also successful!
The Land of Azure Flame is opened, True Monarchs and Masters of Heavenly Interence Sect along with all Foundation Establishment disciples recalled, sent to the Land of Azure Flame on missions.
Yuu Qiuqi has also returned, yet to achieve Core Formation, True Monarch Cang Huo is furious.
Yun Shang wishes to visit Land of Azure Flame to see the unique spiritual beasts and insects, departing with Ge Yuchan who just emerged from seclusion.
Ge Yuchan is as usual, keeping her foundation establishment progress a tight secret; seemingly few in the sect have noticed she has already established her foundation.

[Goat Year, July 23, Major Heat]
Lu Nanzhi reached Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, going to Land of Azure Flame Secret Realm with Xie Jingshan.
Not sure how Xie Jingshan would react upon seeing Shen Huaxi again.
