Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 227 - 180: The Refining Stage Approaching Perfection

Wang Sheng recalled no prescriptions for enhancing spiritual power in his memory.

After all, he had never used them before and naturally would not know of them.

However, due to the existence of Planting Skill, even ordinary prescriptions could suffice.

As long as the medicinal herbs were cultivated to the level of Medicine King without dramatic changes in medicinal properties, ordinary prescriptions could become extremely powerful.

Therefore, Wang Sheng simply asked the village chief to help collect prescriptions and medicinal herbs.

It must be said that since Qingshan Village had made contact with the people from the Three Great Families, many things had become much easier.

The prescriptions were delivered before long.

And along with them came several batches of medicinal herbs.

There were two prescriptions in total.

One of them was called "Nine-flavor Calming Heart Pill," which primarily used nine kinds of medicinal herbs, such as Sour Jujube Seed, schisandra, milkwort, Asparagus, and others.

Its main effect was to nourish the spirit and strengthen the spleen.

Wang Sheng’s spiritual power was the spirit, and as long as the efficacy met the standards, it would definitely be effective.

There was also a prescription named "Pillow Pill," another elixir that could calm the spirit and enhance one’s mental strength, with main ingredients like Turtle Shell, Dragon Bone, and others.

In fact, there were many other prescriptions, but he only chose these two that seemed the most suitable.

Even so, in the end, he chose the "Nine-flavor Calming Heart Pill."

Mainly because the ingredients required for the Nine-flavor Calming Heart Pill were all cultivable, and for the Pillow Pill, ingredients like Turtle Shell were involved, which he really did not want to spend effort to search for.

Let alone take time to grind out a Breeding Skill.

Eventually, Wang Sheng planted all the seeds of the ingredients for the Nine-flavor Calming Heart Pill.

The medicinal herbs delivered by the people of the Three Great Families were all finished products, which he could not use; he needed the seeds.

The seeds he got in Lijiang Town before entering Qingshan Village played a role now.

To avoid distraction, he had not planted most of these seeds, just kept them in reserve.

Now they came in handy.

The maturation time of Medicine King was considerably longer than that of ordinary Spiritual Medicine, but the progress bar was still an extraordinary existence.

After some time, Wang Sheng managed to produce the Nine-flavor Calming Heart Pill.

It is worth mentioning that, although there was no method as convenient as the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill, which could directly extract the essence of the herbs, it was still very convenient with the aid of Divine Thought.

"I do want to see what kind of effect there is, nourishing the spirit and strengthening the spleen, I remember that the spleen stored will, right?"

The heart stores the spirit, which rules the activities of life and is connected to Divine Thought, but they are not entirely the same thing.

Strengthening the spleen could nourish the will, and the will in the spleen represents the ability of cognitive activities.

Enhancing any of the five internal organs could improve one’s Divine Thought.

After taking the Nine-flavor Calming Heart Pill, Wang Sheng immediately began to practice the Lifeless Vacuum Sensing Chapter,

And then he could clearly feel his spirit gradually improving.

Although the improvement wasn’t much, it still proved the effect of the Nine-flavor Calming Heart Pill.

Not only that, after taking the Nine-flavor Calming Heart Pill, he found that the progress of "Five Internal Organs Containing God" had improved to a certain extent.

Five Internal Organs Containing God appeared as a status entry after breaking through Three Great Families in Five Elements Fist, and now the progress wasn’t low, around forty-five percent.

However, the progression of Five Internal Organs Containing God was very slow; he had always had no method, but now it seemed that prescriptions that nourish the five organs could help increase progress.

"Great potential..." Wang Sheng first felt a burst of surprise, then a bit dejected because even Planting Skill required time, and he had to be hands-on with each herb to benefit from the progress bar.

He was now occupied with the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill and the Nine-flavor Calming Heart Pill, which already took up a considerable amount of time. If he were to find five more prescriptions that enhanced the five organs, he would have enough time, but it would cut into time for other matters.

This was unacceptable to him; he was indeed looking forward to Five Internal Organs Containing God, but at least for now, it didn’t seem essential.

What he needed most was to raise his own strength to a certain level.

"Let it be for now, then!"

The Nine-flavor Calming Heart Pill had the effect of strengthening the spleen; enhancing the spirit while strengthening the spleen was incidental, so it didn’t really matter.

Meanwhile, the effect of the Planting Skill breaking through six times was fully realized.

Having two types of Elixir Pills with extremely potent effects, Wang Sheng’s Qi Blood Power and spirit both saw significant improvement.

The enhancement of "spirit" benefited not just the increase in Divine Thought and the progress of the Lifeless Vacuum Sensing Chapter.

Linked with "spirit" was also another important thing.

Great Medicine!

Great Medicine was already the product of a qualitative change after Qi Blood Power flowed along the river cart path and converged with the "spirit."

The enhancement of "spirit" allowed the not yet fully formed Great Medicine Spiritual Light to become even more substantial, further improving the quality.

Not just that, the dual enhancement of "spirit" and Qi Blood Power also accelerated the construction of Great Medicine.

Wang Sheng could clearly feel this speed, which was definitely much higher than before.

Refining Essence to Qi Transformation’s pace once again accelerated.

"Next, focus on raising my strength to Perfection!"

He didn’t have many books on hand, and it was said that Sun Qing of Lihai City was itching to move, planning to attack Imperial City.

He was somewhat impatient to "reclaim" the books of the Great Zhou Imperial Family.

Time flowed by gently, and after six breakthroughs of the Planting Skill, several other skills also successively broke through.

Ba Duan Jin broke through five times, with its cultivation effects becoming more potent, but with no new changes.

Then Five Elements Fist and Yijin Scripture broke through four times.

Both skills brought more substantial enhancements to the Five Internal Organs Containing God and the True Body.

Although Inner Core Skill was also close to breakthrough, as Wang Sheng’s Foundation Method, its progression was always slow, not to mention breaking through.

So it remained at four breakthroughs.

However, Wang Sheng guessed it would soon break through, Inner Core Skill would occur before the completion of Refining Essence to Qi Transformation and Refining.

He had patience, practicing disciplined cultivation every day.

At the same time, he asked Li Yongfeng to pay attention to the matters of Lihai City because there was news about Lihai City coveting Imperial City, which made him worry about "his" books.

Time passed again for more than three months, and one day, Wang Sheng’s Inner Core Skill finally reached five breakthroughs.

The transportation of Qi Blood Power and "spirit" along the river cart path moved even faster.

The progress of Refining further strengthened.

Another month passed without any incidents.

The Refining stage finally reached a critical juncture.

"Refining Essence to Qi Transformation. Refining: 99.95%"

Just a little more, and Wang Sheng could achieve the ultimate perfection in Refining!

At most half a month’s time!

It was at this time that Li Yongfeng brought the latest news.

An army had carried out a large-scale rebellion and expanded rapidly in a short time, soon to reach Imperial City!

(Normal updates will resume tomorrow!)
