Chapter 800 The light aurora curtain

When Yang Qing walked into his abode, he found Ma Yuan exactly where he expected to find him. He was hard at work transforming Yang Qing's compound into an immortal's botanical garden. It had an ethereal glow, mesmerizing scent, and refreshing melody of life. Yang Qing was surprised to discover that his aura which had contaminated every single part of his abode seemed to have been activated because of the changes around it. It felt like it was breathing and bonding with the changes around filled with excitement.

As he sensed its transformation, Yang Qing's eyes lit up as he could feel his cultivation base stirring. He could sense a budding mysterious truth growing within the aura that surrounded his abode as it blended in rhythmic synergy with the various forms of life around it from the birds to the insects, to the fish, to every plant, down to the spiritual qi. Every single living and non-living component seemed to be working in tandem with each other with his aura as the binding component.

As the originator, Yang Qing could see and sense this change all too well. The scene that only he could see was a wave of beautiful light curtain-like an aurora that was filled with lights of different colors with the prevalent ones being green, blue, earthen brown, and golden brown. That light curtain was pulsating with a mysterious aura as it enveloped the entire compound.

Ma Yuan was with his daughter Ma Ling tending to a young sap of royal crown maple. The ethereal light curtain that was flowing gently like an aurora borealis had covered them and the baobab. Yang Qing could see the vibrant colors within that light curtain flow in and out of Ma Yuan, Ma Ling, and the royal crown baobab.

Wavy threads of light flowed in and out of them, interconnecting with other lines crisscrossing all over the compound creating a cycling connection of life. Yang Qing felt the changes happening within that connection, it was like every component of his compound was communicating with one another.

From the connection he could feel the empyrean wasp hovering next to Ma Yuan seemed to be saying,

"Oi, Ma Yuan, be careful with that baby maple, at that angle, it won't be able to produce the best sap.."

Though Ma Yuan couldn't hear the empyrean wasp or even realize its presence with how focused he was, somehow he kept adjusting the position of the royal crown maple in accordance with the wishes of the empyrean wasp.

Yang Qing could clearly see every aspect of his body being renewed, strengthened, and transformed to its optimal state, whether it was his skin, his blood vessels, organs, bones, or even his meridians that had long dried up ever since his dantian and core were shattered seemed like a cracked dry river bed that had been doused with short rain. There was still no water in it, but one could see there was a potential of a stream forming in there. The desiccation was being treated.

Because of the different elements flowing to him, no part was left unattended. Elemental body refinement went by a maxim. Water refines the spirit, wood refines the organs, earth refines the skin and bones and lastly, fire refines the blood and flesh. All elements combine you achieve the cycle of perfection and stability.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Even though there was no change to Ma Yuan's dantian, and his cultivation base was still crippled, the base state of his body was being restored to what his life order would be as a core formation expert. Yang Qing could feel his vigor and vitality being slowly pushed forward to what it should have been had his core and dantian remained intact.

The journey of cultivation was the transformation of one's body, essence, and spirit. Every time they improve by either a minor realm or a major realm, these three factors are continuously changed, and in the process, their entire being is transformed.

It is why cultivators stop needing food, sleep, and even breathing at a certain point. It is because their body, and how it functions changes. No longer do they need food to maintain their organ functions, or sleep to renew their bodies and minds.

The introduction of foundation pillars or cores changes that. Through pillars and cores, spiritual qi is absorbed and converted into an energy that the body survives, and slowly by slowly the body adapts, and is modified to subsist on that energy. Their bodies change and their minds along with it.

Ma Yuan's body was that of a core formation expert, but he lacked the core to sustain its functions which was why he needed copious amounts of food rich in spiritual qi to carry the job his core would have been doing. If he did not meet their needs, he would be lethargic and his body would slowly deteriorate over time, though it wouldn't be a drastic change, it would be there, and his original life expectancy would dwindle along with it.

As a late-stage core formation expert, he should have lived for at least 4,500 years, but with his core shattered, if he doesn't maintain the spiritual energy levels it requires, that expectancy would likely drop to 2,500- 3,000 years. Yang Qing had already planned to give him a few treasures rich in life essence to help like the vermilion lotus seeds or the green flame tree's leaves which when ground into a tea, though the flavor wasn't there, was rich in wood and flame element energy that would provide all the sustenance his body needed.

But seeing the changes happening before him, that seemed to no longer be needed.
