Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 268 Two Years

When the Dragon Elephant Golden Body is cultivated to the seventh level, the physical body can gain a colossal strength of six hundred and forty thousand pounds, and simultaneously obtain a secret technique contained within the Dragon Elephant Golden Body.

Dragon Coiling Star.

It refers to the rune on Zhong Lin’s body resembling dragon scales.

As long as the Dragon Elephant Golden Body is operated, the rune will manifest around the body, transforming into dragon scales to form a defense.

Just like Zhong Lin just experimented, it can even defend against a Spiritual Artifact; if further combined with Spiritual Origin, the resistance can reach a level where blades and spears cannot penetrate, and water and fire cannot invade.

Zhong Lin stood in place, looking down at his fists, and immediately felt that his entire body was filled with endless power, as if a single punch could break the sky.

"The seventh level of Dragon Elephant Golden Body, six hundred and forty thousand pounds of immense strength, I think even a Martial Artist in the Spirit Embryo Realm could be blown up with one punch!"

Zhong Lin murmured, a sense of pride rising in his heart.

At this moment, Chen Jia also flew out from the Soul Nourishing Ring, circling around Zhong Lin, constantly observing with an expression full of amazement.

"Using a person as a pill, tempered by a pill furnace, Zhong Lin, did you really succeed? It is simply unbelievable."

Chen Jia had also cultivated the Dragon Elephant Golden Body, but he had only reached the sixth level, mostly breaking through by grinding gradually or seeking Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for body training.

However, after cultivating to the sixth level, he stopped training; the latter stages were too difficult, consuming too many resources, and after a breakthrough in normal Martial Arts cultivation, the enhancement of the body was not inferior to training the Dragon Elephant Golden Body. With this being the case, why bother specializing in body training? Even the sixth level was achieved by harnessing the strength during the condensation of the Spirit Embryo.

Never had he thought there could be such an astonishing way to break through, but he also knew this method could only belong to Zhong Lin alone.

Without a Sixth Grade Alchemist’s mastery over fire, temperature, and perfect control over the pill furnace, ordinary people would be looking for death trying to learn this way.

"In the future, you must not train this way again, it’s too risky, any accident could really be fatal." Chen Jia warned seriously.

Zhong Lin also nodded: "Thank you for Master’s concern, this disciple understands."

In the short term, the seventh-layer Dragon Elephant Golden Body is certainly sufficient, and later, I will find ways to continue breaking through.

Sorted out the things in this treasury, especially that Spiritual Artifact Furnace must be taken away.

It’s a good thing, a Spiritual Artifact-grade furnace can gather Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and condense Spiritual Fire. Using Spiritual Fire for alchemy is simply twice the result with half the effort; not only can it better and more quickly purify the medicinal power, but the quality of the refined elixir can also be elevated to a higher level. I don’t know where the Bloodthirsty Ten Thieves robbed it from.

However, regardless of where it was brought from, it now belongs to me. With this Spiritual Artifact Furnace, alchemy will be much more convenient in the future.

Also, the Spiritual Tree Heart, the core of a hundred-year-old tea tree, can purify the mind and see the nature, and is even a wood attribute Spiritual Embryo Heaven and Earth Spirit Object.

It’s a pity the attribute is wrong and cannot be used.

Coupled with the fruit from before, Zhong Lin now has two Heaven and Earth Spirit Objects of the water and wood attributes.

Taking a portion of the cultivation resources, Zhong Lin left the treasury and returned to the Purple Cloud Sect.

Since then, he seldom went out again, spending his days meditating, refining artifacts, and making elixirs.

Every six months, he would go to the thirty-sixth island to gather with Master and them, exchanging information and cultivation experiences.

Using some cultivation techniques and sword martial skills brought by Shi Yunyi from the Seven Stars Sect, the "Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill" was deduced by Zhong Lin to the low-grade Dark Level, but it’s a pity that the Red Flame Technique still can’t be integrated into it. It still lacks enough foundation and needs to acquire a few more high-level Five Elements attribute cultivation techniques.

On the contrary, Sword Intent has made considerable progress.

Everyone knew that Elder Zhong of the Purple Cloud Sect was collecting sword martial skills, and many who came seeking elixirs presented their collected martial skills. Although most were low-grade martial skills, there were also some fragmentary sword moves of Dark Level and even Earth Level.

Using these martial skills, Zhong Lin comprehended 40% of the Sword Intent, reaching the realm of "Sword Qi like a rainbow."

In action, Sword Qi surges to the sky, cutting through bodies and destroying souls.

However, Zhong Lin rarely used a sword, almost never using it, so outsiders only knew this Elder Zhong as unmatched in boxing, with few knowing his strongest was actually Sword Dao.

Time passed steadily, and in the blink of an eye, two years had gone by, and the Seven Star Secret Realm was about to open.

"Sir, the Sect Master invites you."

Tang Xueyuan’s gentle voice came from outside the door, and the meditating Zhong Lin slowly opened his eyes, with a flash of Divine Light in his eyes, the Spiritual Origin above his head gradually receding back into his body.

This is the mark of Great Perfection in the Spirit Sea Realm; the next step is to condense the Spiritual Body and step into the Spirit Embryo Realm.

In two years, with such abundant resources, Zhong Lin naturally cultivated the Spirit Sea Realm to Great Perfection, with liquid Spiritual Origin in the dantian as vast as an ocean, and with every move, Gang Qi converged while Heaven and Earth Essence Qi followed his body.

"Finally, it has come. I’ve been waiting for a long time."

Slowly standing up, he stored the Spiritual Artifact Furnace into the Storage Bracelet and stepped out of the Fire Cloud Palace, then took to the sky and headed for the Purple Cloud Palace at the peak of Flowing Cloud Mountain.

In the hall, Sect Master Ouyang Daoyong and Wan Pu had already been waiting for a long time.

"Greetings to the Sect Master."

Zhong Lin cupped his hands in salute, without a trace of arrogance.

Ouyang Daoyong hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhong Lin, slightly reproachful, saying, "Elder Zhong is still so formal."

"Etiquette cannot be abandoned."

"You!"

Regarding Zhong Lin, Ouyang Daoyong dared not be negligent for a moment. Due to Zhong Lin over the past two years, the Purple Cloud Sect has developed by leaps and bounds.

Having a Fifth Grade Alchemist for making elixirs and medicines, Spirit Stones flowed in like water, and the disciples of the sect had ample resources, speeding up their cultivation as if leaping miles in a day.

The current Purple Cloud Sect, other than Sect Master Ouyang Daoyong, had nine Spirit Sea Realm Martial Artists, twenty-three Spiritual Origin Realm Martial Artists, and nearly a hundred Innate Martial Artists. Compared to several years ago, the overall strength of the Purple Cloud Sect had increased by more than tenfold.

Recently, they even won a battle against a rival power, acquiring a large amount of resources, and even the Purple Cloud City beneath their feet expanded several times.

And all this was thanks to Zhong Lin, the Fifth Grade Alchemist. Now Ouyang Daoyong was increasingly grateful that his seventh disciple brought Zhong Lin up the mountain.

So for the past two years, Ouyang Daoyong had been increasingly polite to Zhong Lin, making sure the entire Purple Cloud Sect went all out for any of Zhong Lin’s requests, fearing that Zhong Lin would leave, which would be the greatest loss.

"Elder Zhong, the Seven Star Secret Realm is about to open, but have you really decided to go?"

Ouyang Daoyong’s face looked slightly concerned, and he gave one last admonition.

The Seven Star Secret Realm opens every two hundred and seven years, overseen by the entire Luoxing Islands, and within it lie numerous opportunities and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

As long as one can emerge alive, their strength will surely increase, and many Spirit Sea Realm Martial Artists even condense their Spiritual Embryo, making it the grandest event across the Luoxing Islands.

Previously, Zhong Lin had approached Ouyang Daoyong to request a spot to enter, and naturally, Ouyang Daoyong would not refuse, but he had been advising caution all along.
