Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 164 - 119: White Tiger_1

Chapter 164: Chapter 119: White Tiger_1

Translator: 549690339

Hundred Arts of Cultivation have a value worth myriad gold, especially the four main streams: Pills, Talismans, Tools, and Formations.

Indispensable on the path of Cultivation, they are indeed the sharp tools for cultivators to establish wealth and flourish.

In this period of training in dreams, taking advantage of the vast difference in the flow of time, Xu Yang has thoroughly researched the skills of Elixir Skills, Talisman, Artifact Skills, and Formation, but only up to the first and second tier limits, he is still tackling the challenges.

Indeed, tackling!

He obtained many inheritances in the World of Dao and Law, including the skills of Pills, Talismans, Tools, and Formations, and their grades are extremely high, with many capable of stepping into the realm of Taoist True Monarchs, which according to this world’s classification, is equivalent to the third tier of Golden Core.

In this case, doesn’t this Tool legacy lose its value?

Not at all!

Although there are inheritances in the World of Dao and Law, many are ancient Cultivation methods, with many materials now extinct, unable to methodically replicate and refine according to procedure. One also has to consider the differences between the two worlds, issues such as adaptation to local conditions, and cannot directly apply them to reality without adjustments.

If one wants to practice the ancient methods, one must also practice the modern ones.

By taking cues from each other, complementing one another’s strengths and weaknesses, one can apply them freely, and even innovate and create new methods.

Therefore, this Tool inheritance is still of great use to him and can enhance his foundation.

Moreover, knowledge is priceless; replicating and selling a set of skill inheritances can exchange for a vast amount of Spirit Stones.

Take White Dragon Island, for instance; they have a second-tier Talisman method inheritance, which has been listed for sale for years at the price of fifty thousand Spirit Stones. Even if no one shows interest, the price will not be lowered, at most sold in installments.

Even if not much is sold, it is still a tool for generating wealth.

Wang Tianling, as a second-tier Artifact Refiner, already possesses the ability to refine Supreme Grade Magic Artifacts, and has even begun attempting to refine Spiritual Artifacts.

The Spiritual Flying Sword in the Storage Bag is the result of his painstaking efforts.

Although it is only a lower-grade Spiritual Artifact, a Spiritual Artifact is still a Spiritual Artifact, its might and value far surpassing those of Magic Artifacts.

It’s just that Wang Tianling’s Cultivation is too low, his abilities not up to par; otherwise, summoning this Flying Sword in battle, even without the activation of Sword techniques, would still have caused him some trouble.

Just his assets alone are worth up to two or three hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Indeed, he is worthy of being the leader of a local power, far richer than those poverty-stricken Loose Cultivators.

Xu Yang nodded to himself, opening the second Storage Bag, which belonged to the Zhou Family’s patriarch.

Compared to Wang Tianling, this patriarch of the Zhou Family seemed quite modest, the combined value of various Elixirs, Talismans, Magic Artifacts, and Jade Slips being just over a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

But there was no helping it, as the Zhou Family’s main decision-maker was not this patriarch, but Zhou Mingyu, the aged ancestor in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The bulk was yet to come!

Xu Yang opened Zhou Mingyu’s Storage Bag and sent his divine consciousness into it, immediately dazzled by the treasures within.

Spirit Stones, piles upon piles of Spirit Stones!

At a rough count, at least three to four hundred thousand.

Xu Yang wasn’t surprised by this.

With the Zhou Family occupying Qingfeng Mountain, a second-tier Spirit Land, operating a Cultivation Market and earning a fortune daily, accumulating such wealth over hundreds of years was only natural.

This was even after ceding most of the profits to the Green Jade Sect.

If not for Green Jade Sect’s oppression and control, not to mention three to four hundred thousand, even three to four million would have been within reach.

Xu Yang even found a small pile of Spirit Stones that were breathtakingly radiant and full of aura.

Are these… mid-grade Spirit Stones?

Their aura was pure, comparable to Elixirs; even for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they were extremely beneficial, capable of aiding in Artifact Refining, setting up Formations, and versatile for combat.

Such a piece of mid-grade Spirit Stone could be worth a thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.

Beyond that, there were Magic Artifacts, Elixirs, Talismans, Cultivation Technique Jade Slips, and other items. 𝚏𝗿𝗲ew𝐞b𝐧o𝚟𝚎𝗹.com

Among them, the Tower Treasure Ship was the most precious, a large Supreme Grade Magic Artifact with a value comparable to a lower-grade Spiritual Artifact.

Added together with various second-tier Elixirs, second-tier Talismans and various materials, Cultivation Technique Jade Slips, as well as a second-tier Talisman inheritance, and this extremely spacious, Spiritual Artifact grade Storage Bag, their combined value was no less than a million Spirit Stones.

Is this the foundation of the Zhou Family?

Indeed, they are the tycoons of the marketplace.

However, the insatiable greed of the human heart is an abyss that cannot be filled.

Even with accumulated wealth that could be described as enormous, they did not forget the tactics that they used to rise up and were still keen on matters of immortality, leading to such downfall.

It can only be said, heaven’s law is clear, karma is never in error!

After examining for a while, Xu Yang finally took out a Jade Slip, looking at it with interest.

White Tiger Gengjin Jue!

A Body Training method from the Cultivation World!

Currently, Xu Yang divides his practices into three categories.

One is the Inner Yuan martial arts, based on the Martial Arts Scripture. Currently, he has only extrapolated as far as the “embracing the elixir” realm, corresponding to the Cultivation’s Foundation Establishment.

One is the external Body Training, based on the Martial Arts Scripture’s Fish-Dragon Transformation and also using the Thunder-Driving Lightning-Lifting Skill along with Thunder and Lightning Quenching Body to toughen up his body. So far, he has only extrapolated as far as the “external body” realm, corresponding to the Cultivation’s Foundation Establishment.

The third is the Earth Deity Cultivation Method. Its system is complete but its progress is slow. Currently, there’s no significant use, so it’s momentarily set aside.

Due to the lack of Spiritual Root, Xu Yang cannot directly practice Cultivation Skills.

He can only research and modify, integrating them into the Martial Arts Scripture, to create his exclusive “Martial Path of Cultivation” practice.

Therefore, Xu Yang has always been keen to collect various methods and inheritances.

The White Tiger Gengjin Jue, as one of the rare body-training cultivation techniques in the Cultivation World, piqued his immense interest.

“White Tiger Gengjin, White Tiger Gengjin…”

Immersing his divine consciousness, he contemplated the cultivation technique and soon had a complete understanding of the White Tiger Gengjin Jue.

But after finishing, Xu Yang slightly furrowed his brow, feeling that there was something not quite right about the White Tiger Gengjin Jue.

What was not right?

Was there a problem with the technique?

No, no, no, it wasn’t that there was a problem with the technique, but rather…

In an instant, enlightenment struck.

Xu Yang put down the jade slip and once again activated the Spirit Eyes Mysterious Light.

Immediately, within the Xuan Guang Mirror, information appeared.

“White Tiger Gengjin Jue, a Foundation Establishment body-training cultivation technique, only those with a superior grade metal spiritual root can practice it, achieving Foundation Establishment upon minor completion, advancing to the later stages upon major completion, and even reaching the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment!”

“After perfection, with subsequent techniques, one can cultivate the White Tiger Gengjin Body, which is one of the Postnatal Five Spirits Five Elements Battle Bodies!”

“The Postnatal Five Spirits Five Elements Battle Bodies, consisting of the White Tiger Gengjin Body, Azure Dragon Jia Wood Body, Black Tortoise Ren Water Body, Vermilion Bird Bing Fire Body, and Kylin Wu Earth Body!”

“Geng Metal, Jia Wood, Ren Water, Bing Fire, and Wu Earth, all belong to the Yang aspect of the Five Elements, innate and also postnatal, and if one acquires the Yin aspect of the Five Elements, they can harmonize Yin and Yang to bring forth mysterious transformation, evolving into the Innate Five Spirits Five Elements Battle Bodies.”

“The Innate Five Spirits Five Elements Battle Bodies are then known as the White Tiger Gengxin Metal Body, Azure Dragon Jiayi Wood Body, Black Tortoise Renkui Water Body, Vermilion Bird Bingding Fire Body, and Kylin Wuxin Earth Body.”

“If one possesses the Five Elements Spiritual Root and cultivates all Five Spirits Five Elements Battle Bodies, then they can cultivate the divine power—Five Colors Divine Light!”

“The Postnatal Five Spirits Five Elements Battle Bodies can cultivate a minor divine power, the Postnatal Five Colors Divine Light!”

“The Innate Five Spirits Five Elements Battle Bodies can cultivate a Great Divine Power, the Innate Five Colors Divine Light!”

Staring at the information discovered in the Xuan Guang Mirror, Xu Yang was stunned.

Five Elements Battle Bodies?

Five Colors Divine Light?

Could it be the Five Colors Divine Light he knew from his memories?

How deep were the waters of this world, for such cultivation techniques to have been passed down?

Xu Yang’s heart skipped a beat, he snapped back to reality, and was about to inquire further.

But then, he stopped himself.

Using the Spirit Eyes Mysterious Light to inquire about the heavens depended on the karmic ties and one’s spiritual stature.

With his current level of cultivation, was he qualified to inquire about divine powers like the “Five Colors Divine Light”?

Clearly not!

Even this information about the Five Spirits Five Elements Battle Bodies was only obtained because he acquired the White Tiger Gengjin Jue, which led to the related information due to karmic reasons.

So, it was better not to hastily inquire.

Otherwise, if backlash occurred, a minor injury would be the least of concerns, while the disruption of his spiritual progression would be far more severe.

Having recently achieved minor success with the Spirit Eyes Mysterious Light, he had no intention of squandering his progress and starting over from scratch.

For the time being, he would not inquire.

Turning off the Spirit Eyes Mysterious Light and looking at the cultivation technique jade slip again, Xu Yang felt an eager desire to try it out.

He had to admit, the allure of the Five Elements Battle Body was massive.

Especially the Five Colors Divine Light, which was extremely captivating for the mind and spirit.

Xu Yang was very interested.

But he couldn’t practice it directly, for he lacked the Metal Spiritual Root.

He could only first contemplate it, integrate it with his Martial Arts Scripture, and see if he could modify it to create a Five Spirits Five Elements Battle Body that suited him.

This method of experimentation was risky to carry out in reality; one mistake could be life-threatening.

It was better to verify it in dreams.

Xu Yang memorized the technique, then opened the other storage bags, sorted and categorized everything, and placed them orderly.

Having tallied everything up at last, the total value of all magic artifacts, pills, talismans, inherited jade slips, various materials, and some unknown wondrous items, should be over two million Spirit Stones.

To understand, Xu Yang’s previous wealth amounted to only about two hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and those two ghost cultivators he had ‘fished’ for, along with the demon cultivator Zhang Jia, were even less fortunate, their entire fortunes not exceeding a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Gaining over two million Spirit Stones in one go not only filled the previous void but also increased Xu Yang’s wealth tenfold, instantly providing resources for him to raise Spirit Beasts, construct the Thunder Altar, and practice the Earth Deity Law to improve the tier of his Spirit Land.

“Indeed, committing murder and arson begets a golden belt!”

“Regrettably, such acts cannot be frequently done.”

“With the mantis stalking the cicada unaware of the oriole behind, hunters throughout the day must be wary of becoming the hunted!”

“Hence, it’s best to farm the land honestly and dream peacefully!”

With a smile, Xu Yang gathered up the storage bags that looked like a small mountain and did not venture anywhere else. He simply sat cross-legged in front of the sinister Mana Altar, closed his eyes, and slipped into his dreams.

In the hurry of three months, with a hundredfold time difference, twenty-five years had passed in the dream. What was the scene now?
