This secret technique is quite demanding to cultivate, although it doesn't have high requirements for a cultivator's aptitude; any spiritual root can be used to practice it.
However, it's not easy to cultivate. Practicing this technique involves enduring lightning strikes and carries significant risks. Some body refinement techniques in the cultivation methods of body cultivators and demon refiners involve using lightning to temper the body. Not everyone can withstand this.
He naturally had his eye on this method because it could increase his chances of forming a nascent soul. Cultivating this technique requires finding different lightning-attributed spiritual materials to assist.
Although there are risks, he possesses the stone mirror that can condense Water-Geng Divine Lightning, which perfectly meets the requirements of this technique, giving him some confidence.
At the same time, the mysterious small bead can also be of great help. A few risks are worth taking. He doesn't want to be stuck in the Golden Core realm for the rest of his life. While he has so many opportunities, striving for the immortal path is promising.
After all, who doesn't want to advance further?
Although he is currently quite far from the Nascent Soul stage, cultivating this technique will also take a lot of time. Planning this matter early will allow him to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
After obtaining this technique, Zhang Ling stayed in Myriad Manifestations City for a few more days, bought some auxiliary materials, and returned to his Fire Cloud Island.
In the following period, he cultivated while carefully planning his future cultivation schedule.
At the same time, he also began to refine the Heavenly Star Sand, and two small pieces of Gold Essence Stone were also added to the flying sword to increase its power.
Thus, he entered another busy cultivation life.
……
On this day, a fist-sized amber stone in the quiet room flickered with dazzling earthy yellow light.
Zhang Ling rapidly performed hand seals, spitting out several mouthfuls of essence blood into the amber. Immediately, the amber stone began to rotate, and the yellow light continuously spread outwards. Within a few breaths, the entire secret room was illuminated.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, which was covered with a layer of yellow sand. As the amber's light shone down, the yellow sand also lit up with spiritual light and floated into the air.
As time passed, the speed of the yellow sand's rotation increased, turning into several streams of quicksand that wrapped around the outside of the amber stone.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling's body emitted azure and white Qi. With a flash of azure light, the Two Elements Gourd was spat out from his mouth.
The azure gourd instantly expanded several times in size, rustling, and a mass of black and red grit flowed out from it.
These grits didn't seem like much, but under the rapid flow, they emitted azure and white spiritual light, looking very strange.
This mass of black grit gathered towards the amber stone.
The amber stone shone brightly with yellow light, and golden spiritual patterns appeared on it, outlining the appearance of a giant mountain. Some of the bright white spiritual light was like mist, sometimes gathering and sometimes dissipating. Sometimes it even transformed into plants, earth, and rocks.
Suddenly, the white Qi simplified into a cheerful white deer, appearing and disappearing among some illusory mountains and rocks.
This amber is the top-grade Yao Stone obtained from the Hidden Demon Valley, emitting a dignified spiritual power. The small mass of black grit flying around the periphery instantly transformed into a stream of quicksand and gathered on it, forming a black stone.
Finally, tens of thousands of pounds of yellow spiritual sand around the periphery quickly swept in amidst rustling sounds, constantly gathering towards the Yao Stone.
This scene lasted for a long time. Every once in a while, Zhang Ling would spit out essence blood and integrate it into the yellow sand. At the same time, he continuously spat out alchemic fire to condense the yellow sand.
Thus, a full three or four days passed. Zhang Ling's face was already pale and bloodless, but at this moment, above his head, all the yellow sand had condensed on the Yao Stone, solidifying into a huge stone block fifteen or sixteen feet high and more than ten feet wide, looking like a small mountain.
His hands rapidly formed hand seals, and mysterious seals were submerged into the stone mountain. After another half a day passed, Zhang Ling's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly.
Immediately, the huge stone block above his head suddenly collapsed with a crash, transforming back into streams of yellow sand that rapidly flowed. In the center of the yellow sand, a black stone block more than ten feet wide rotated, emitting a strange spiritual light.
Azure and white Qi constantly flowed on it, and a layer of light yellow spiritual light also appeared.
With a slight thought, the black stone block also decomposed into black grit, rotating around Zhang Ling's body. A lemon-yellow light flashed within it and landed in his hand.
Looking at the Yao Stone in his hand, Zhang Ling revealed a smile. The oval-shaped Yao Stone in his hand had been completely refined by him. In addition to the natural gold and white patterns, a thin layer of azure patterns also appeared.
The three patterns were perfectly integrated on it. At this moment, the second natal treasure, Heavenly Star Sand, had been refined.
Although he hadn't tested its power yet, just the Yao Stone's ability to condense earth and stone would allow the Heavenly Star Sand to instantly fuse into mountain rocks to attack enemies. If he fully mobilized the terrifying pressure it carried, hitting a cultivator would be no joke.
Previously, he had also used semi-finished spiritual sand to condense into earth and stone to attack. Although the attack power was good, it took some time to condense the earth and stone.
Now, there was no such flaw at all. Moreover, this spiritual sand was of the dual gold and earth attribute, and its power would be greatly increased when combined with his Yuan Xuan Light.
A spiritual light flashed in Zhang Ling's hand, and the Two Elements Gourd appeared again. The azure and white spiritual light in the gourd's mouth constantly intertwined, and he put the Yao Stone and spiritual sand in his hand into it.
The gourd flashed and was sucked into his dantian, landing next to the Golden Core and constantly being refined by the alchemic fire.
Then, he sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a bottle of pills, and swallowed a few pills to recover the consumption from refining the treasure during this period.
A month later, Zhang Ling walked out of the secret room.
Now, in his dantian, the Two Elements Gourd contained the spiritual sand from the Banyan Gourd. At the same time, above the spiritual sand, streaks of azure light flashed from time to time. These were the seven azure flying swords refined from the gourd seeds.
The sword blades of the flying swords flowed with golden light, and all of them were integrated with the Gold Essence Stone. The sharpness of these flying swords had also increased by a level.
After leaving seclusion, Zhang Ling went to the medicine field as soon as possible. In addition to a few thousand-year-old spiritual trees and half an acre of colorful spiritual herbs, the remaining two or three acres of land were planted with a kind of purplish-black grass.
These herbs grew very well, each one being two or three feet long. The roots also grew black little fruits that looked like cherries. What was magical was that a continuous patch of black-cyan mist gathered around the fruits. From time to time, bright cyan arcs of light could also be seen.
This was the third-grade spiritual plant Azure Light Flower, a kind of lightning-attributed spiritual medicine. Judging from its growth, it was mostly five hundred years old.
Zhang Ling pondered for a moment and felt that it was enough. He took out a jade shovel and collected all these Azure Light Flowers into his storage bag. Then, he went to another medicine field and collected another seven or eight kinds of spiritual herbs.
