Chapter 222 Cultivating Supernatural Powers and Secret Techniques to Extract the Essence of Demonic Beasts
"After three years, I have finally mastered the three minor supernatural abilities—Earth Flame Myriad Manifestations Body, Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm, and Star Flame Concealment Technique—to the point of perfection!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly. This was only because he had good comprehension and the help of the panel. Otherwise, he would never have been able to cultivate the three minor divine abilities of Earth Flame Myriad Manifestations Body to perfection within three years.

Moreover, his current level of perfection is only the initial stage; to achieve true perfection, it may take another three years.

Lu Cheng'an originally wanted to cultivate the minor divine ability, the Flowing Fire Myriad Swords Technique, but now he has decided to give up cultivating it.

Because cultivating the Flowing Fire Myriad Swords Technique requires a large number of magic swords as support, let alone cultivating this minor divine ability, just forging the magic swords needed for cultivating this minor divine ability would take a very long time.

"I haven't started cultivating the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique and the Great Sun Golden Flame yet. After I rest for two days, I can start cultivating these two soul techniques!"

A solemn expression appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face. The cultivation of the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique, a secret technique of the soul, is very different from minor supernatural abilities such as the Earth Flame Myriad Manifestations Body.

If there is a problem in cultivating this divine soul technique, it could cause great damage to his divine soul.

For this reason, he also purchased a third-grade superior Yuanhun Grass, a treasure for nourishing the soul, in the Poison Swamp Immortal City!

The third-grade superior Yuanhun Grass can directly nourish the soul of a Golden Core cultivator. If Lu Cheng'an makes a mistake while cultivating the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique, he can recover quickly by relying on the power of the Yuanhun Grass.

After considering it in his mind, Lu Cheng'an began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Two days later, Lu Cheng'an adjusted his state and began to practice the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique, drawing a wisp of the Great Sun True Fire into his soul.

This wisp of Great Sun True Fire was actually very weak, but the moment it entered Lu Cheng'an's soul, it was like a drop of ice water falling into a pot of oil, immediately causing a violent reaction.

Lu Cheng'an felt his soul tremble violently, and an indescribable, intense pain instantly spread from his soul to every part of his body!
He could only grit his teeth and keep himself awake, then he used the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique to try his best to refine that wisp of Great Sun True Fire power.

Lu Cheng'an wasn't particularly panicked, because he knew this was a normal phenomenon when practicing the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique.

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Lu Cheng'an refine that wisp of the Great Sun True Fire's power.

"The spirit has not grown stronger, but its resilience has increased significantly!"

Lu Cheng'an did not immediately draw upon the second wisp of Great Sun True Fire to refine it. Instead, he began to examine the changes in his soul after refining that wisp of Great Sun True Fire.

This change did not disappoint Lu Cheng'an; on the contrary, he was very happy.

Because an increase in the resilience of one's soul means an increase in the defensive power of one's soul itself, which is more valuable than a simple increase in the strength of one's soul.

If the resilience of his soul continues to improve, then it will be relatively easier for him to continue cultivating the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique in the future.

After examining the changes in his soul, Lu Cheng'an took another day to recover before continuing to cultivate the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique.

This is because cultivating this divine soul technique is extremely painful. During the process of refining that wisp of Great Sun True Fire, he was constantly experiencing unbearable pain.

A day passed in the blink of an eye. After adjusting his state, Lu Cheng'an drew the second wisp of Great Sun True Fire into his soul. He then immediately activated the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique to refine the power of this wisp of Great Sun True Fire and strengthen his soul.

After refining the power of the second strand of Great Sun True Fire, Lu Cheng'an discovered that in addition to the continued improvement in the resilience of his soul, the power of his soul had also increased.

This change made him extremely happy, so he endured the intense pain he experienced while practicing the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique.

Time passed slowly, and two months went by in the blink of an eye.

At this point, Lu Cheng'an decided to stop cultivating the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique. He felt that if he were to endure inhuman torture while cultivating this secret technique to strengthen his soul, he would be completely unable to bear the intense pain and would go insane.

Moreover, his cultivation of the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique was not always smooth; there were times when he could not control the power of the Great Sun True Fire during his cultivation.

This resulted in the unrefined Great Sun True Fire causing some damage to his soul, although his soul had already been tempered by the Great Sun True Fire for a long time.

The damage to his soul caused by the uncontrolled Great Sun True Fire wasn't too serious; he recovered quickly without the power to refine the Yuan Soul Grass.

Although the two months of training had driven Lu Cheng'an almost insane, his spiritual resilience and strength had greatly improved.

Lu Cheng'an felt that his current spiritual power had surpassed that of many late-stage Golden Core cultivators and was infinitely close to that of cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core realm.

After cultivating the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique for so long, he naturally succeeded in cultivating the Great Sun Golden Flame, a secret technique for cultivating the soul.

Because the Great Sun Golden Flame can only be cultivated after Lu Cheng'an has refined the power of the Great Sun True Fire, the stronger the power of the Great Sun True Fire he refines, the stronger the Great Sun Golden Flame will be.

Because the power of the Great Sun Golden Flame, which is condensed by this divine soul technique, originates from the Great Sun True Fire that he refined!
Lu Cheng'an hasn't refined much of the Great Sun True Fire yet; he's currently just trying to see if he can condense the Great Sun Golden Flame within his soul.

Even so, the power of the Great Sun Golden Flame is extremely terrifying.

If a wisp of this Great Sun Golden Flame enters the soul of another cultivator, it could potentially ignite their soul directly, burning them into nothingness.

Just after Lu Cheng'an stopped practicing the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique, he received a message from Shi Ningyu.

During this time, Shi Ningyu also continued to cultivate minor supernatural abilities, but the number of minor supernatural abilities she cultivated could not compare to that of Lu Cheng'an.

Although her comprehension was comparable to Lu Cheng'an's, she lacked a cheat code, which caused her to cultivate minor supernatural abilities much slower than Lu Cheng'an.

Besides cultivating minor supernatural abilities, Shi Ningyu also devoted a lot of time to cultivation, and her cultivation progress is now much faster than Lu Cheng'an's.

Furthermore, she also spent time refining some third-tier pills, including the Primordial Chaos Pill!
This elixir, made by Shi Ningyu, has been around for quite some time, but because her grandfather wasn't very confident about breaking through to the Golden Core realm, she wasn't in a hurry to find Lu Cheng'an to use the Chongyuan Huntian Pill to cultivate the second-stage perfect realm demon beast to the third stage.

Now that so much time has passed, Shi Ningyu's grandfather has finally gained some confidence. That's why Shi Ningyu sent a message to Lu Cheng'an at this time, asking him to use the Chongyuan Huntian Pill to nurture the second-tier perfected demon beast to the third tier. Then, he could extract the primordial power from the newly broken-through third-tier demon beast to refine the Golden Core!

Lu Cheng'an originally planned to enter the Five Spirits Lake, the underground lava river of the Burning Flame Mountains, to cultivate in seclusion.

However, after receiving a message from Shi Ningyu, he had to change the plan.

He plans to use the power of the Chongyuan Huntian Pill to raise the cultivation levels of second-tier perfect realm demon beasts like the Fuyue Bear to the third tier before entering the underground lava river of the Burning Flame Mountains to cultivate.

Lu Cheng'an quickly replied to Shi Ningyu, and after receiving Lu Cheng'an's reply, Shi Ningyu quickly arrived at the Lu family with the Chongyuan Huntian Pill.

"Brother An, what is your cultivation level?" Shi Ningyu asked, frowning as she entered Lu Cheng'an's cave.

Because she sensed that Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level seemed unchanged, even though several years had passed!

"My cultivation has indeed progressed slowly over the years, but you don't need to worry, because I haven't spent much time on cultivation these years; I've been focusing on cultivating minor supernatural abilities!"

"I will work hard to improve my cultivation level in the coming period of time, and I will definitely be able to catch up with you. At that time, we will cultivate the Yin-Yang Co-existence Yuanling Technique together and raise our cultivation level to the mid-stage of the Golden Core stage in one fell swoop!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled and looked at Shi Ningyu, saying, "You want to make the demon beast break through to the third rank at this time, but is your grandfather confident that he can break through to the Golden Core realm?"

Shi Ningyu nodded and said, "Grandfather is indeed more confident now, and it will take me some time to refine the Golden Core, so we need to prepare for refining the Golden Core now."

Shi Ningyu's grandfather is already quite old. Now is the best time for him to break through to the Golden Core realm. If he waits until he gets older, his blood and qi will gradually deplete, and it will become very difficult for him to break through to the Golden Core realm at that time.

"Wait in my cave for a moment, I'll go and release a second-stage perfect realm demonic beast that's been sealed under Crimson Smoke Mountain!"

All the second-tier demonic beasts, including the Bear-Bear, were suppressed under Crimson Smoke Mountain. They could refine spiritual energy to replenish their energy consumption and survive for a long time.

However, Lu Cheng'an suppressed them at the foot of Chiyan Mountain, and they had no way to escape Lu Cheng'an's suppression.

After Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu made their agreement, they immediately went to the place where the second-tier demonic beasts were suppressed at the foot of Chiyan Mountain.

After making his selection, he released the Crimson Horned Heavenly Python, a second-stage perfect realm creature, from the foot of Crimson Smoke Mountain.

This is because the Crimson Horned Python is the strongest of the suppressed second-tier perfect realm demon beasts, and it has a greater chance of breaking through to the third tier.

Although Lu Cheng'an released the Crimson Horned Python from Crimson Smoke Mountain, it was still suppressed by Lu Cheng'an and then taken to his cave.

"This is the Crimson Horned Heavenly Python, which originally lived in an underground magma river. It has a high chance of breaking through to the third rank. Relying on the Primordial Chaos Pill and the secret techniques recorded by the Burning Flame Sect, it will definitely be able to break through to the third rank!"

The Crimson Horned Serpent is currently trapped in Lu Cheng'an's palm. This is because Lu Cheng'an possesses a power similar to a Sumeru talisman array in his palm, which alters the internal space of his palm, allowing it to easily accommodate the Crimson Horned Serpent's enormous body.

The Crimson Horned Python was conscious and could clearly hear the conversation between Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu.

When he heard that Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu wanted to help him break through to the third level of cultivation, he felt no joy at all, but instead felt endless panic.

For Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu, two human cultivators, the only use of his breakthrough to the third rank was the source power within his body!

Once his cultivation successfully breaks through to the third level, that will be the time when he is killed by Lu Cheng'an and the other man!
Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu ignored the Red Horned Heavenly Python's reaction. After discussing with Shi Ningyu, Lu Cheng'an injected the Chongyuan Huntian Pill into the Red Horned Heavenly Python's body.

At this moment, he placed the Crimson Horned Heavenly Python into the meditation chamber inside the cave and began to use a secret technique to forcibly enhance the Crimson Horned Heavenly Python's cultivation level.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an had released his control over the Crimson Horned Python. The Crimson Horned Python did not obediently break through; it struggled frantically, trying to escape!

But in front of Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu, both Golden Core cultivators, he had no chance of escape!
Even though he didn't actively break through to the third rank, the power of the Chongyuan Huntian Pill and the secret techniques recorded by the Fenyan Sect was too terrifying. These two forces were pushing his cultivation to advance rapidly to the third rank!

This was an advancement that disregarded the future of the Crimson Horned Python. The power within its body was pushed to the limit, as if all the power in its body was used to condense the essence of a third-tier demon beast.

Time passed slowly, and two days went by in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the Crimson Horned Heavenly Python had already emitted the aura of a third-tier demon beast. The origin of a third-tier demon beast within its body had been successfully condensed, and even the Transformation Lightning Tribulation was faintly emerging.

However, at this moment, the Crimson Horned Heavenly Python did not possess the formidable strength expected of someone who had broken through to the third tier; instead, it became even weaker.

"Ningyu, the Crimson Horned Heavenly Python's essence has been condensed. Immediately begin extracting its essence power!"

When Lu Cheng'an sensed that the primordial power within the Crimson Horned Heavenly Python had completely condensed, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

This was something Lu Cheng'an had already discussed with Shi Ningyu, and Shi Ningyu had been paying close attention to the situation inside the Crimson Horned Python.

Upon hearing Lu Cheng'an's reminder, she did not hesitate at all. She spread her five fingers, and five beams of spiritual light shot out from between her fingers, instantly piercing through the hard scales covering the Crimson Horned Heavenly Python's body and grabbing out the primordial power nurtured within the Crimson Horned Heavenly Python's body in an instant.

Shi Ningyu immediately sealed the Crimson Horned Heavenly Python's primal power in a jade bottle. She sensed that this primal power was much better than she had expected.

Even the primordial power generated within a normal breakthrough to the third rank of a demon beast cannot compare to the primordial power generated within the Crimson Horned Heavenly Python.

The stronger the primordial power, the better the effect of the refined Golden Core.

"The secret technique recorded by the Burning Flame Sect is truly terrifying. It gathers the essence of a perfect second-tier demon beast and condenses its primordial power. Once the primordial power is extracted, the demon beast's corpse will directly exhaust all its power!"

Upon seeing the corpse left behind by the Crimson Horned Heavenly Python, Lu Cheng'an couldn't help but sigh.

There is no spiritual energy in the Crimson Horned Python's body now. Apart from its enormous corpse proving that it is not an ordinary beast, judging from its flesh and blood alone, it is not even comparable to ordinary snakes!
