Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 448: Chapter 448 Mysterious Spirit Immortal Grass_1

Inside his body, the energy from the Nine Dragons Refining Yuan Pill continuously remodeled his Martial Veins, with its energy constantly merging into them.

Outside his body, the large amount of aura drawn by the Nine Dragons Refining Yuan Pill kept flooding into his physique, causing changes through his body while refining it and blending into his True Essence.

Ling Xiao’s cultivation level was skyrocketing at a terrifying speed!

Transcendent Realm Four-Level Late Stage!

Transcendent Realm Four-Level Pinnacle!

One shichen later, Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out two beams of golden light from his pitch-black pupils, as if they were tangible.

Taking a deep breath, he excitedly looked towards the still lazily sprawled out Yuan Venerate, a smile spreading across his face like a child’s.

”Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer Early Stage! I actually broke through!”

Ling Xiao was surprised by this breakthrough; it was so effortless it felt like everything fell into place without the slightest obstacle.

This must be because of the correct cultivation method.

The energy from the Nine Dragons Refining Yuan Pill not only caused his cultivation to break through but also enabled him to finally comprehend the fourth Celestial Phenomenon Power—lightning—for the Twelve Golden Lotus Art, advancing to the fourth layer.

Wind, Thunder, Rain, Lightning!

With these four Celestial Phenomenon Powers, he could fully infuse new life into the Snow Lotus Sword Technique and the Nine Veins Qi Sword, allowing them to unleash attacks far exceeding their original power.

Seeing this, a look of relief and a touch of surprise shone in Yuan Venerate’s eyes.

Previously not interacting with Ling Xiao on a regular basis, Yuan Venerate didn’t fully understand him, but now he realized that this young man’s talents were exceptionally good, enough to make anyone envious.

He truly took on an excellent disciple.

...

After breaking through to the Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer Early Stage, Ling Xiao didn’t rush to do anything else; instead, his true body started to consolidate his current cultivation level.

During this time, he hadn’t split his Sword Soul Avatar for training, as not to disperse his focus.

After all, the leap made by this breakthrough was too significant; he had to immerse himself fully in understanding the post-breakthrough power so that he could better grasp and utilize it!

Five days later, Ling Xiao once again opened his eyes from his intense training.

His cultivation level had now fully stabilized at the Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer Early Stage.

Even if he were severely injured, as long as he didn’t die, his cultivation would not decrease.

Of course, the more important thing was that he had almost completely mastered the power of this stage.

...

Within the perilous Fulong Mountain Range, Ling Xiao tread slowly. If there were those with profound cultivation watching, they would faintly see a massive ”True Essence Ball” composed of True Essence around him in a radius of several tens of meters.

Ling Xiao didn’t need to look; as soon as the True Essence Ball touched something, his brain would immediately receive the information, faster than using his eyes.

This time, he came out mainly to find some ingredients for making Top-quality Zhenyuan Pills.

In the past few days, to consolidate his cultivation, he had consumed all of the few top-quality Zhenyuan Pills he carried.

This wouldn’t do.

Although top-quality Zhenyuan Pills didn’t help much with cultivation, they were the most suitable pills for restoring True Essence.

According to Ling Xiao’s habit, he wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving home without carrying a thousand of them.

No matter how abundant a Martial Artist’s True Essence is, it can run out, even though Ling Xiao could devour an opponent’s True Essence using the power of the Mountain and River Martial Soul.

But the problem is that most of the time, he wasn’t fighting, but rather cultivating. How could he absorb the True Essence of ghosts during that time?

He could only rely on Zhenyuan Pills to replenish it.

Alchemy wasn’t much of an issue for Ling Xiao, with the Mountain and River Martial Soul, he could concoct any pills he required.

This was something even Yuan Venerate didn’t know.

However, the higher-grade the pill, the harder it was to find its formula.

Even if Ling Xiao knew how to concoct it, without the formula and materials, it would all be in vain.

Therefore, the pills he could currently concoct were ones he had seen and used before.

As long as he had used them, the Mountain and River Martial Soul could rapidly analyze their composition and thereby deduce the formula.

This ability was so heaven-defying that Ling Xiao didn’t even dare to tell his own master, for fear it would attract a plethora of trouble.

To concoct Top-quality Zhenyuan Pills, one of the required herbs was crucial and irreplaceable but also the hardest to find.

It was extremely difficult to obtain in the secular world; only within the Fulong Mountain Range could one find this particular herb.

The rest of the auxiliary materials were not cheap either, but at least they could be purchased.

The name of this key herb was ”Mystic Spirit Grass.”

To concoct Top-quality Zhenyuan Pills, Mystic Spirit Grass of around a hundred years was sufficient.

In the secular world, there indeed was Mystic Spirit Grass under a hundred years, but unfortunately, it could only be used to concoct mid-grade and low-grade Zhenyuan Pills.

Mystic Spirit Grass wasn’t scarce in the Mysterious World, but those over a hundred years were rare and usually grew deep in the mountains and old forests, often guarded by terrifying Monster Beasts, Ferocious Beasts, and even Sinful Beasts.

That’s because these beasts also knew that devouring Mystic Spirit Grass could enhance their True Essence.

But no matter how difficult it was to obtain, Ling Xiao had to get it; it was for his own benefit, not someone else’s.

With the help of the Mountain and River Martial Soul, Ling Xiao basically confirmed areas where Mystic Spirit Grass grew abundantly, but to find ones over a hundred years old, he had to rely on ”Earth Vision and Sky Hearing” to search closely.

The reason he moved slowly was that deep inside the Fulong Mountain Range, dangers lurked everywhere; he didn’t want to be so preoccupied with Mystic Spirit Grass that he ended up being stealthily taken out by some Ferocious Beast—what an unjust death that would be.

As long as he sensed the presence of a Ferocious Beast, weak or strong, he would choose to avoid it as much as possible. After all, his purpose for coming out this time wasn’t to fight but to find herbs. He couldn’t afford to be delayed by battles.

His excellent observational skills coupled with the ability of ”Earth Vision and Sky Hearing” meant that he basically hadn’t encountered any battles along the way; all Ferocious Beasts were deftly evaded.

Finally, he let out a sigh of relief.

Because he had reached his destination.

This place was a basin, and within it grew various exotic flowers and herbs, but Mystic Spirit Grass made up the majority.

Unfortunately, most of the Mystic Spirit Grass were under a hundred years old; he simply collected them into the Mountain and River World to cultivate.

The Divine Sword Sect’s disciples also needed Zhenyuan Pills, and now that sect was his own. In the future, they might become an important force for him, so he would definitely nurture them well.

He was determined to acquire for his Sect what other small sects didn’t have.

Suddenly, his figure paused, among the numerous verdant Mystic Spirit Grasses, one stood out as extremely special.

While it didn’t look much different from the other Mystic Spirit Grasses in shape, it was shinier and larger.

However, if one were a Martial Artist, they would notice that this Mystic Spirit Grass contained far more Spiritual Qi than the other Mystic Spirit Grasses under a hundred years old, and even on its leaves, there appeared to be some patterns, seemingly on the verge of forming Divine Inscriptions.

Divine Inscriptions typically formed over time within animals or plants, a result of the Laws’ influence.
