I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm-Chapter 74: Five Elements Technique Achieves Great Success, Dharma Seed

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Five Elements Technique Achieves Great Success, Dharma Seed

Zhou Changwang had long known that his Five Elements Technique was close to reaching Great Success.

He initially planned that as he approached Great Success, he would sit in the cultivation secret room, experiencing the density of Spiritual Qi far exceeding that of the outside world, and then slowly savor the cultivation effects after achieving Great Success in his technique.

He was still thinking about this when he woke up in the cultivation secret room that morning.

However, when he got to the spirit field in the backyard and saw the lush weeds, he couldn’t sit still.

Then, as he worked, he accidentally... broke through.

At that moment, his posture was to lift the spiritual hoe, preparing to dig down.

He felt the operation of spiritual power within his body suddenly accelerate.

Then a stream of information rushed straight to his mind, and instantly, a large amount of cultivation experience and insights about the Five Elements Technique surged into his heart.

It was as if during this short time, he had operated the technique thousands upon thousands of times.

Only then did he realize that the Five Elements Technique had broken through, advancing from Small Success to the Great Success Stage.

Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Technique (Great Success 1/800)

He glanced at the attribute panel, and it was indeed so.

Then he couldn’t care about much else and directly sat cross-legged in the spirit field, quietly experiencing the cultivation effects of the Great Success level of the Five Elements Technique.

After a stick of incense, Zhou Changwang slowly opened his eyes.

His face immediately showed a look of surprise.

At the Small Success level of the Five Elements Technique, he could run the technique slowly even without actively cultivating, allowing him to recover the spiritual power within him at any time.

But now, at the Great Success level of the Five Elements Technique, not only did it retain the auto-operation feature, it also had a certain enhancement.

The automatic operation speed of the technique nearly doubled.

Previously, he needed two hours to complete a circulation, but now it only took one hour.

Moreover.

The greatest feature of the Great Success Five Elements Technique is compatibility.

It fully matched his Spirit Root attribute and body condition, automatically extending inside his meridians, circulating not only within the original eight extraordinary meridians but also expanding into many unknown fine veins.

The complexity of the cultivation technique increased by more than double.

But this was the most suitable for his physique, the most compatible Five Elements Technique for him.

After practicing, he indeed felt that the amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi he could now absorb had at least doubled compared to before, and the conversion efficiency of spiritual energy entering his body had also significantly improved.

If calculated by cultivation speed.

Double!

At this moment, his cultivation speed was twice that of the Five Elements Technique at Small Success.

In terms of Spirit Root talent, his current cultivation effects in the spirit field were comparable to that of a four-attribute Spirit Root cultivator with high-tier spiritual energy conversion efficiency.

If he cultivated in the cultivation secret room, he would practically rival a three-attribute Spirit Root cultivator?

Zhou Changwang silently compared calculations in his heart, extremely delighted.

Three-attribute Spirit Root cultivation talent is already considered quite good in the Cultivation Realm.

Some sect disciples are mostly at this level, and the reason his mother had the opportunity to enter a sect was that she possessed a three-attribute Spirit Root...

Having a three-attribute Spirit Root cultivation speed nearly equated to his ability to raise his cultivation to the peak of Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer before the age of sixty, which equated to him—having the potential for Foundation Establishment.

"In the Cultivation Realm, age sixty is a critical point.

Suppose you haven’t raised your cultivation to the peak of Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer by sixty. In that case, all body skills will rapidly decline, and even if you reach the peak of Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer later, it’s nearly impossible to break into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Even if you later break through to the peak of Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, many people don’t attempt it.

Because if you fail to break through, it’s the end of the road."

Zhou Changwang shook his head, only feeling the difficulty of the Immortal Path.

Now, he has only seen a glimmer of hope on this searching road.

After clearing all the weeds from the spirit field, Zhou Changwang moved to the trough where the Spirit Gathering Grass had been placed before.

At this time, he had already poured the ten catties of Thunder Spirit Rice he had previously harvested into the trough to soak and moisten.

Then, he began to perform the Fertilization Technique repeatedly.

The remaining one catty of Thunder Spirit Rice that he set aside, he hadn’t eaten yet, not out of reluctance, but out of fear of any accidents befalling this lot of spirit seeds.

After all, Thunder Spirit Rice is rare, and he couldn’t go back to Chen Yushu to ask for more.

If something goes wrong with these Thunder Spirit Rice seeds, he would have other options.

So, he absolutely wouldn’t touch that one catty of Thunder Spirit Rice until these Thunder Spirit Rice seeds sprouted.

Fortunately.

This batch of Thunder Spirit Rice seeds was freshly harvested spirit rice, brimming with vitality, not the dead seeds he initially received from Chen Yushu.

After soaking for two days, with dozens of Fertilization Techniques performed each day, the seeds had sprouted tender shoots.

With more than a dozen Fertilization Techniques cast today, most Thunder Spirit Rice sprouts broke through the rice husks, sticking their tiny heads out.

"Fortunately, I set aside a quarter of the land after planting the Spirit Gathering Grass, or else planting these Thunder Spirit Rice seeds would have been difficult."

Seeing that the seeds had sprouted, Zhou Changwang got busy again.

Loosening the soil, weeding, then using the Spirit Rain Skill to moisten the soil, before finally planting all 502 Thunder Spirit Rice seeds.

After finishing everything, the sun rose high.

So Zhou Changwang called out, and the Little Spirit Dog eagerly followed him back to the front yard.

He didn’t visit the backyard in the afternoon to supervise the spirit field. Instead, he stayed in the cultivation secret room, continuously cultivating magic.

He wasn’t practicing the Thousand Thunder Flashes.

This magic’s cultivation difficulty was too high, consuming too much mental energy, leaving his head buzzing for the past two days.

So he decided to switch to a different magic to cultivate, for a change.

Coincidentally.

The first magic he mastered, Geng Metal Finger, had already been cultivated to Great Success (345/800), so he planned to challenge it and see if he could max out its experience points in a short time.

He also wanted to know what realm comes after Great Success.

So, he slightly moved the spiritual power within him.

Hiss!

Geng Metal Finger +1

A golden flash disappeared, landing on the magic wall crafted from Forbidden Spirit Stone.

Buzz~!

Geng Metal Finger disappeared without a trace; only the slight disruption in spiritual qi in the air confirmed that he had indeed cast the Geng Metal Finger magic.

Zhou Changwang was not concerned, and without pausing, cast another one.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

Geng Metal Finger +1

Geng Metal Finger +1

Geng Metal Finger +1

...

Gold lights fell upon the magic wall, and his experience points in the magic of Geng Metal Finger continually increased with each cast.

After some time, Zhou Changwang paused briefly and directly ran to the cultivation room to recover his Spiritual Power.

Truly, the Five Elements Technique at Great Success Level worked excellently.

After just one circulation, his Spiritual Power recovered mostly, without needing a second, as the spiritual power in his Dantian had already reached Perfection.

So, he didn’t hesitate and returned to the magic wall to continue casting Geng Metal Finger magic...

And this pattern repeated.

Days later.

As Zhou Changwang skillfully cast Geng Metal Finger again.

Sizzle!

A dazzling light flashed and disappeared.

The speed was at its peak.

As he laid eyes on the magic wall, whether it was an illusion or not, he indeed saw a small pit on the wall.

Simultaneously, Zhou Changwang felt a fleeting spark in his mind, sensing a special imprint emerging.

Magic imprint?

Dharma Seed?

Zhou Changwang was startled but soon realized what it was.

It was the legendary magic imprint or Dharma Seed that forms when magic is cultivated to its pinnacle.

It’s said that once the magic imprint is formed, the magic can materialize and shoot out as soon as a thought arises.

This is a faster casting method than instant casting.

Instant casting usually involves circulating spiritual power in one breath to harmonize with the heaven and earth, casting the magic.

But once a cultivator forms a magic imprint, creating a Dharma Seed in their mind, any fleeting thought can trigger the magic to attack the enemy.

The speed of thought equates to the speed of casting.

And the speed of thought is incredibly swift!

As for power?

Zhou Changwang willed his mind.

Sizzle!

A dazzling golden light landed on the magic wall.

At that moment, Zhou Changwang saw clearly.

A small pit indeed appeared on the once flawless magic wall.

Though small, it was exceedingly apparent on the magic wall.

"It’s said that even a High-Tier Cultivator can’t leave a mark on the magic wall when casting magic. Could the power of my Geng Metal Finger have reached a level comparable to one strike from a High-Tier Cultivator?"

Zhou Changwang shook his head, lacking such confidence.

But upon pondering the Geng Metal Finger cast through the magic imprint, he realized a fundamental difference.

This power driven by magic was not merely Spiritual Power but additionally infused with the Power of Heart and Spirit.

This means the Geng Metal Finger cast through the magic imprint consumes a power combining Heart Spirit and Spiritual Power.

"Heart Spirit and Spiritual Power integration? Isn’t that Spiritual Sense?"

Zhou Changwang wondered.

Upon careful contemplation, he felt the power was distinct from Spiritual Sense.

It seemed to harmonize with a power of heaven and earth rules?

Threefold power integration.

This distinguished the magic’s power.

The ability to penetrate through the magic wall, leaving a shallow pit within.

The power far surpassed the Geng Metal Finger at Great Success Level.

It was undoubtedly his strongest attacking technique.

"The only drawback of the magic imprint is its excessive consumption of Heart Spirit.

With the threefold integration, my Heart Spirit power becomes the weak link.

Given my Heart Spirit intensity, I can only cast it around ten times before exhausting the Heart Spirit..."

After some casting, Zhou Changwang understood.

Despite the convenience of the magic imprint, overusing it is problematic since exhausting Heart Spirit during battle could lead to dire consequences...

Finally, Zhou Changwang turned his gaze to his attribute panel.

Magic: Geng Metal Finger Perfection!

No experience points.

Once Great Success experience points are full, the magic automatically advances to the Realm of Perfection, no further improvement needed or possible.

And the magic itself transformed, condensing into a magic imprint, a Dharma Seed, becoming instinct, and a hidden card.

...
