Chapter 119: Wood-Fire Incineration Technique

Spirit Qi in the Cultivation Room continuously flowed into Wang Hong's body, and the concentration of Spirit Qi gradually decreased.

From the initial fine drizzle to the rising White Mist, which then slowly thinned until it vanished completely.

The vast Spirit Qi, transformed from a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, was entirely absorbed by Wang Hong and refined into Spiritual Power.

At this moment, his dantian and Meridians still bore cracks, but no new ones were forming.

Inside his abdomen, the Jade Marrow Mushroom continued releasing a green Spiritual Energy, mending the cracks as streams of green energy traversed through Meridians and dantian.

The repaired dantian and Meridians were much larger than before, a stroke of fortune amid adversity.

In the center of his dantian, there was a small "pond" about six feet in diameter.

Although the dantian was within his body, it seemed like a separate space, allowing Wang Hong to accommodate such a large dantian, even if he were as broad as six feet around the waist.

He recalled reading in a book that the human body is like a small world, and now, it seemed quite fitting.

At the bottom of this "pond," there was a shallow pool of water.

This small pond was the sea within the dantian, around which the cultivation in the Foundation Building stage revolved.

Once the Spiritual Power cultivated filled this small dantian sea, it would signify the perfection of the Foundation Building, reaching the tenth layer.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Moreover, the width and depth of the dantian sea influenced a cultivator's combat strength and future breakthroughs.

However, with the scarcity of Spiritual Objects today, reaching the perfection of Foundation Building is challenging, let alone expanding the dantian sea. Each layer widened made further advancement more difficult.

Wang Hong had learned from a Jade Scroll that, typically, at the initial completion of Foundation Building, the dantian sea was only about a foot wide and deep. His, however, was six feet in both dimensions. Reflecting on the perilous process he went through, he acknowledged that, without the 800-year healing sacred medicine Jade Marrow Mushroom, he would have been doomed this time.

Nonetheless, this made his progression slower compared to other cultivators.

Given his originally inferior aptitude, the difficulty had increased.

After leaving the Cultivation Room post-Foundation Building, Wang Hong fed Little Peng, then re-entered the room. After five more days of practice, he could proficiently conceal his Foundation Building cultivation level at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, allowing him to go out and meet people.

When he opened the Little Five Elements Formation, several Transmission Talismans flew in. Their content mostly expressed good relations with Wang Hong and invitations for tea, drinks, or leisure activities.

Reading between the lines, Wang Hong guessed that the Sect's Foundation Establishment Pills had been successfully refined, hence the sudden friendliness. He wondered if he needed to lay low again.

But before hiding, there was an important matter to attend to. He still lacked the post-Foundation Building cultivation technique; the one he practiced before was a common one. Now, with 900,000 contribution points, it was time to acquire a better technique.

At the time of the Foundation Establishment Pill distribution, many Qi Cultivation Disciples would go early to choose their Foundation Building stage techniques. Going now wouldn't attract attention.

So, leaving Little Peng in the courtyard, he went alone to the Scripture Tower.

The Scripture Tower had seven floors. The first and second floors covered various cultivation arts and basic knowledge, while the third floor held miscellaneous books, including travel notes, local customs, and even some mortal world paintings and calligraphy.

Despite its seeming insignificance, the third floor housed hidden treasures and valuable items. Legend had it that a disciple once found a treasure map there and successfully located a treasure.

The fourth floor contained books on various magical arts, while the fifth floor held a variety of cultivation techniques.

As for the sixth and seventh floors, they were shrouded in mystery, accessible only to Golden Core Elders and above.

Wang Hong returned to the fifth floor, navigating through shelves of techniques. The sect had an extensive collection, making it a bit overwhelming.

As he had Wood, Fire, Earth, and Water spiritual roots, he could practice techniques from these four elements. Choosing a primary technique was a serious decision as changing midway was difficult.

After deliberating for two days, he finally settled on a Wood-Fire Dual Attribute cultivation technique called the "Wood-Fire Incineration Technique."

This technique could be practiced up to the Nascent Soul stage and included methods for refining Lifebound Magical Treasures.

However, it required dual Wood and Fire spiritual roots and had specific requirements during cultivation.

Firstly, practitioners needed to consume a specific elixir, and using others like the Nourishing Essence Pill was possible but less effective.

Secondly, after reaching the Golden Core stage, practitioners needed at least two Lifebound Magical Treasures, one of wood attribute and one of fire attribute, and these two treasures could be combined.
