Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 808 - 806: Advanced Cultivation Technique!
"One hundred thousand second-grade Yuan Stones. Calculating like this, each person can receive a reward of twenty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones. And there’s also a high-level fifth-grade Spirit Pill!"
"A high-level fifth-grade Spirit Pill, worth forty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones. Adding them together, each member of the top ten teams can receive over sixty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones! All my wealth right now is only two thousand second-grade Yuan Stones."
"It’s indeed a generous offer; tens of thousands of second-grade Yuan Stones would tempt even the ten major Inner Sect Disciples. It seems this hunting tournament will be extremely intense. All the top experts from the twelve Golden Palaces will likely give their all."
Nanxuan’s eyes were also glowing at this moment.
"The top ten will probably be difficult, but we can aim for the top twenty. That way, each person will get ten thousand second-grade Yuan Stones and a Yao Light Jade Token."
Lin Yue’er smiled and said, "The twelve Golden Palaces are full of talents; wanting to break into the top twenty is easier said than done."
Nanxuan pursed her red lips, tugged at Luo Feng’s clothing, and smiled:
"In our team, we have Senior Brother Luo Feng and Senior Sister Xia Yunjing. We’re not inferior to those geniuses from other Golden Palaces."
At this moment, Shui Qingcheng pressed her jade-like palm down on the jade stone pillar, and all voices instantly fell silent.
"Aside from the team rewards, this hunting tournament also has individual rewards. If anyone among you can make it into the top ten, they will have the qualification to ascend to the fourth floor of Lingxiao Pavilion and receive a sixth-grade Spirit Pill."
Shui Linglong’s melodious and lively voice clearly reached everyone’s ears.
"A sixth-grade Spirit Pill!"
"The fourth floor of Lingxiao Pavilion!"
Upon hearing this, all the disciples of Linglong Hall were visibly stirred, and a buzz of discussion arose.
Even Xia Yunjing, who was usually calm and collected, slightly narrowed her eyes.
A sixth-grade Spirit Pill!
Luo Feng’s heart was moved.
Sixth-grade Spirit Pills are extremely rare in the mundane world, rumored to exist only in the Holy Lands. His Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor, although comparable in magical effect to a sixth-grade Spirit Pill, still had some differences.
Looking at Nanxuan, Luo Feng asked:
"What is the fourth floor of Lingxiao Pavilion?"
"Senior Brother Luo Feng, you just joined the Golden Palace, so you might not know."
Nanxuan’s face rarely showed seriousness as she took a deep breath and said:
"Lingxiao Pavilion is where we Linglong Hall store Martial Arts cultivation methods and secret manuals. The first floor houses Yellow-grade Martial Arts, and Outer Sect Disciples can freely enter. The second floor displays ordinary Profound-level Martial Arts, and Inner Sect Disciples have the privilege to enter. The third floor collects top-notch Profound-level secret manuals, and only the top ten Inner Sect Disciples and those who have made significant contributions to the Golden Palace have the right to enter. As for the fourth floor..."
After pausing for a moment, Nanxuan continued:
"It’s said that the fourth floor holds only three cultivation technique secret manuals, and they are all Earth-grade low-level cultivation techniques!"
"Earth-grade cultivation techniques?"
Luo Feng had guessed that the secret manuals collected on the fourth floor would not be simple, but he didn’t expect them to be Earth-grade cultivation techniques.
Nanxuan nodded slightly, "Earth-grade cultivation techniques are extremely rare throughout the entire Canglang Dynasty. Even for the Golden Palace, they are exceedingly precious. Our Linglong Hall has only three Earth-grade low-level cultivation techniques."
Lin Xin said, "For a Martial Artist, cultivation methods are of utmost importance. Once a Martial Artist’s cultivation approaches the True Yuan Realm, the speed of practicing Profound-level cultivation methods will become very slow. Having Earth-grade cultivation methods makes breaking through the True Yuan Realm much easier. I didn’t expect that in this hunting tournament, Earth-grade cultivation technique secret manuals would be used as rewards."
To this, Luo Feng wasn’t surprised in the slightest.
With such generous rewards in this hunting tournament, it was undoubtedly related to the Demon Sect’s stronghold in the Canglang Dynasty.
The masters of the twelve Golden Palaces were likely trying to enhance everyone’s strength as much as possible.
At this time, Xia Yunjing, who had been silent, suddenly spoke:
"Once a Martial Artist’s cultivation surpasses the fifth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, the cultivation is not only limited by natural talent but is also closely related to the cultivation methods practiced. Many people are trapped in the Spiritual Rotation Realm for ten years, decades, or even a lifetime due to low-grade cultivation methods and insufficient talent! The reason is that as the cultivation methods reach low grades, further progress becomes increasingly difficult. Once reaching the True Yuan Realm, if there are no high-grade cultivation methods, even the most monstrous genius can fall to the level of an ordinary person."
At the end, a hint of excitement appeared in Xia Yunjing’s eyes.
If she could obtain an Earth-grade cultivation method, she would undoubtedly surpass Ling Qingwu and others in the shortest time.
But this was just a thought; for a Martial Artist in the Spiritual Rotation Realm, everything else could be conceded, but not cultivation methods!
With equal talent, cultivating high-grade cultivation methods can make one stand out. No one would give up the opportunity to become a strong person.
Since Earth-grade cultivation methods were used as rewards in this hunting tournament, all top ten New Dragons would give it their all, and it would certainly be an intensely fierce competition. Being ranked 39th on the New Dragon List, her hope of vying for individual rewards seemed slim.
"There might still be a chance. If one starts aiming for individual rewards from the beginning, and if lucky..."
Xia Yunjing’s eyes flickered for a moment, then she shook her head, dismissing the sudden thought, and seeing Luo Feng’s indifferent expression, she couldn’t help but ask with a frown:
"Luo Feng, are you not tempted by Earth-grade cultivation methods?"
Luo Feng understood why she was asking this way, smiled, and said:
"What if I am tempted? Since the hunting tournament offers such generous rewards, tens of thousands of disciples from the twelve Golden Palaces will be itching for action, including the top ten New Dragons. Competing for the top ten among them is harder than ascending to the heavens."
"That is true."
Xia Yunjing nodded, puzzled as to why the usually arrogant Luo Feng had suddenly become self-aware.
Withdrawing her gaze, Xia Yunjing clenched her delicate fists and spoke as if to Luo Feng, yet as though she was talking to herself:
"One must fight to feel content."
Luo Feng remained expressionless.
To say he was unmoved would be a lie.
However, what truly captivated him was not the cultivation technique or secret manual, but the sixth-grade Spirit Pill.
The first transformation of the Divine Dragon Nine Changes could be cultivated to achieve Spirit and Flesh Unity, and the second transformation, ’Blood Essence Transformation,’ could refine a mouthful of True Yuan for a Martial Artist in the Spiritual Rotation Realm. The current cultivation difficulty far surpassed the Earth Level Cultivation Technique, Sky Cloud Step.
Luo Feng speculated that the Divine Dragon Nine Changes was surely an Earth Level technique, possibly even surpassing it. With such a treasure in hand, why would he choose to cultivate a mere Earth Level lower-grade cultivation method?
More than the cultivation technique, Luo Feng hoped to obtain that sixth-grade Spirit Pill, which should shorten the time to enter the seventh level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.
Of course, entering the top ten was no easy task, and his thoughts were the same as Xia Yunjing’s: try his best, regardless of the outcome.
Shui Qingcheng looked around with her beautiful eyes and said:
"In this hunting competition, high-level Demon Beasts will appear, and dangers abound, even life-threatening. If you consider your cultivation insufficient for training outside, you can choose to stay behind."
Among those present were Inner Sect Disciples, as well as the elite from the Outer Sect. Faced with such a great opportunity, none would give up.
"On the path of cultivation, life and death hang by a thread, seizing life from the heavens, thorns at every step. Only with fearlessness can one obtain great fortune. It seems you all have this determination."
Shui Qingcheng was very satisfied with everyone’s expressions and nodded slightly, saying:
"Since that’s the case, I won’t say more. From now on, everything depends on you. Set off."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shui Qingcheng stepped on a Nine-colored Profound Lotus, her figure rising slowly, disappearing in an instant.
The two elders and Shui Linglong turned into three streams of light, descending in three different directions on the square.
In a long skirt flowing to the ground, Shui Linglong appeared in front of Luo Feng’s team, her red lips slightly parted as she said:
"The hunting competition officially begins in five days. Our destination is the Misty Swamp, where a gathering signal will be sent out at Ming Dang Mountain. Remember, you represent Linglong Hall, so do not act ostentatiously along the way."
At this time, the destinations of the other two teams were also announced: Dayang City and a region of the Lava Mountains.
"Senior Brother Luo Feng."
Lin Yue’er turned her head to glance at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng nodded, his eyes slightly narrowing.
He recalled that both the Misty Swamp and the areas near Dayang City and the Lava Mountains contained a Demon Sect stronghold and were nearest to Linglong Hall.
It seemed that the Twelve Golden Palaces intended to launch a concerted attack to destroy all Demon Sect strongholds within the Canglang Dynasty.
Shui Linglong’s beautiful eyes surveyed the crowd; seeing no one speak, she said:
"Gather at Ming Dang Mountain in five days; do not miss the time. Set off!"
The crowd dispersed, forming into groups of five, discussing their journey to Ming Dang Mountain.
At this time, a figure approached, and Yang Wanyi smiled at Luo Feng, saying:
"It seems we’re not heading in the same direction. Take care of yourself."
"I know."
Luo Feng nodded.
Yang Wanyi glanced at Xia Yunjing, hesitated for a moment, said nothing in the end, turned, and left with the other four disciples from Linglong Hall.
Streams of light continued to shoot into the sky, and in a moment, the bustling Purple Yao square was left with only a few hundred people.
"Let’s go too."
Luo Feng said to Nanxuan and the others.
From Linglong Hall to Ming Dang Mountain was tens of thousands of miles, through treacherous terrain, and with only five days, time was very tight.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of the wind constantly echoed as five figures tore through the air, swiftly flying northward.
Half a day later, the group of five crossed Yao Light Lake, passing through a range of mountains stretching thousands of miles. Suddenly, the scene in Luo Feng’s vision began to blur, and the world was filled with colorful mist, which even soul power found difficult to penetrate.
"Senior Brother Luo Feng, this is the five-colored poisonous miasma; it will corrode a Martial Artist’s Yuan Qi. Do not inhale it," Lin Yue’er warned.
Luo Feng had already sensed the strangeness of this miasma and nodded upon hearing this, invoking his Protective Gang Energy to repel the miasma.
Xia Yunjing squinted her eyes, casting a sharp gaze forward, and said:
"Ahead is the Colorful Underworld River; flying is too dangerous. We should descend."
