Cultivating Immortality: Starting from Ferrying Passengers

Chapter 138: Transferring to Cultivation Techniques
The characteristics of these seven kinds of extraordinary waters are clearly recorded in the summary of "Xuanyuan Zhenjie".

One of the strange waters, no matter how Fang Jingxuan looked at it, seemed to resemble a superior version of his innate divine power, the [Moonlight Jade Dew].

Taiyin Moon Essence True Water, also known as [Emperor's Flowing Water], is the essence of Taiyin in the moonlight on the night of Gengshen. It is shaped like a string of olive beads and contains the essence of heaven and earth. It can help plants become demons or enhance the cultivation of demons.

This item is extremely rare, rumored to appear only once every sixty years, and only those with exceptional fortune can ever see it.

When Fang Jingxuan saw the description of this True Water, he felt that it was very similar to the mechanism of his [Moonlight Jade Dew].

Only now has he confirmed that this Taiyin Moon Essence True Water is the superior grade of Moon Essence Jade Dew Liquid.

If one's [Moonlight Jade Dew] divine power were to advance another level, it would most likely be able to condense the true water of the Taiyin Moonlight.

Even if advancing one tier isn't enough, advancing two or three tiers will eventually be sufficient.

Innate supernatural abilities can be continuously enhanced as a cultivator's cultivation level increases, until quantitative change leads to qualitative change, at which point the grade of the supernatural ability can be directly upgraded once, and then this cycle continues.

Fang Jingxuan's [Moonlight Jade Dew] supernatural power has been greatly enhanced over the years, increasing from about ten drops per month at the beginning to seventy drops per month now.

Fang Jingxuan had a feeling that if he could collect one hundred drops of the [Moonlight Jade Dew] every month, his innate divine ability would be completely upgraded.

However, at present, there is no need to collect rare waters from heaven and earth for cultivating the "Mysterious Abyss True Explanation". This is something that only those in the Foundation Establishment stage need to worry about.

If I want to switch to cultivating the "Mysterious Abyss True Explanation" now, I only need to consider one thing: how to balance the immense magical power that oppresses my physical body.

A cultivator's physical body is actually quite resilient, but the 280-fold increase in magical power brought about by the "Mysterious Abyss True Explanation" is something that ordinary cultivators cannot withstand.

An ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivator's physical body can only withstand up to fifty times the total amount of magical power from the early stage of cultivation. Any more, and various methods must be used to strengthen the physical body.

Among these, practicing body-refining techniques is a very suitable method.

Fang Jingxuan estimated that after the "Green Wood Nourishing Body Technique" tempered his body, he felt that he could withstand seventy times the total amount of magical power.

But this is far from enough, since the main function of the "Green Wood Health Preservation Exercise" is to prolong life, not to strengthen the physical body.

Therefore, Fang Jingxuan chose the "Nine Revolutions of the Azure Sea Technique".

To cultivate this body-refining technique, one must train in the high-pressure environment of the deep sea, during which no protective spells are used; one can only rely on one's physical body to withstand the pressure.

Moreover, each time one breaks through a level, one must dive another hundred feet, until reaching the ninth level, at the depths of the sea, where one can then draw upon the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring to temper the body, thereby obtaining a body that has been tempered a thousand times and is incomparably strong.

The ocean is over 3,300 meters deep, while the limit that ordinary people can dive to is less than 100 meters.

Without the protection of spells, magical artifacts, or supernatural powers, even a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining cannot reach a depth of a thousand meters using only their physical body.

The "Nine Revolutions of the Azure Sea Technique" requires one to be able to walk freely in the depths of the sea, and finally to temper one's body with the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring, making one's body even harder than ordinary magical artifacts.

Such a rigorous training method is generally not chosen by cultivators without great perseverance. After all, it is better to use a top-grade magic weapon to protect the body than to forge the body into an extremely hard one, comparable to a magic weapon.

However, Fang Jingxuan felt that this body-refining technique was a perfect match for "Xuanyuan Zhenjie".

He recalled that when he fought Chen Heichan, if he had cultivated the "Mysterious Abyss True Explanation" and perfected the "Cangming Nine Revolutions Technique," he could have beaten Chen Heichan to a pulp even without using the Six Bone Divine Power.

Thinking of this, Fang Jingxuan felt a surge of excitement. After a moment's thought, he decided to focus on cultivating the "Nine Revolutions of the Azure Sea Technique" first, while the "True Explanation of the Profound Abyss" could not be rushed.

Because switching cultivation methods requires a period of time to transform the nature of one's magical power, one must gradually transform the three types of magical power cultivated by the "Three-Turn Wheel Meridian Technique" into the profound magical power of the "Mysterious Abyss True Explanation".

During this period, my combat ability is very weak. If I gather too much magic power, there is even a risk of going into qi deviation.

To avoid Chen Hei Chan's retaliation, it's best to be cautious. Let's focus on body and spirit cultivation first, and then raise our cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years. Let Chen Hei Chan live a carefree life for a few more years. Once I have mastered my divine skills, that will be his death day.

Black Toad Island will fall into my hands sooner or later. With this thought in mind, Fang Jingxuan began to seriously study the "Nine Revolutions of the Azure Sea Technique," preparing to start cultivating immediately.

A month later, Fang Jingxuan was found completely naked, floating silently beneath the surface of the sea, hundreds of feet below the surface.

It was pitch black here. The sunlight on the sea couldn't penetrate such deep water. As far as the eye could see, everything was dark.

The immense pressure fell upon every pore of Fang Jingxuan's skin, causing some tiny blood vessels to be squeezed out through the pores. However, as soon as they surfaced, they were pulled back by Fang Jingxuan's skin.

After a long time, Fang Jingxuan felt he had reached his limit and slowly floated upwards.

Upon reaching the water's surface, Tuoyuan was quietly floating in place, with all of Fang Jingxuan's belongings placed on its back.

Fang Jingxuan shook off the water stains on his body, put on his clothes, and waved his hand. The six bones that had been swimming in the distance flew over.

Gently patting Liu Gu and thanking it for its protection, Fang Jingxuan coiled up on Tuoyuan's back, signaling it to go home.

After traveling quietly for a hundred miles on the sea, Tuoyuan stopped on a small island.

Then the man and the turtle went ashore and came to the center of the place.

Before them was a cave. At the very back, there was a deep, fist-sized hole that emitted wisps of spiritual energy, which was then contained by a spirit-gathering array, preventing it from leaking out.

Fang Jingxuan glanced at the spiritual energy concentration indicated by the Spirit Gathering Array and nodded slightly. After ten hours of gathering, the array was enough for him to cultivate once.

After that day, Fang Jingxuan left Guixu Market and searched for a place to stay. Since he couldn't take Black Cicada Island, Fang Jingxuan had no choice but to find an island to stay on for the time being.

After searching for several days, this island was finally chosen, simply because it is very far away from other islands.

Moreover, there is a spiritual spring here. Although it is not even a first-grade low-level spiritual land, the spiritual energy slowly overflowing from the spring can still be used for cultivation after collection. Even if it is not enough, adding a few low-grade spirit stones will be enough.

Regardless, the spiritual energy here is more abundant than in Red Leaf Pavilion, so Fang Jingxuan isn't picky at the moment and focuses on body refinement and cultivation.

Two hours later, Fang Jingxuan, having finished his cultivation, glanced at his attribute panel.

[Real name: Fang Jingxuan]

【Age: 30/130】

[Cultivation: Eighth level of Qi refining (270/3600)]

[Body Refining Technique: Green Wood Nourishing Body Technique (Completed, Special Feature: Extends Lifespan by Ten Years)]

"Nine Revolutions of the Azure Sea Technique" (Current progress: 100 zhang)

After browsing through this information, Fang Jingxuan frowned slightly. It would take him another two years to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining. Should he switch to cultivating the "Mysterious Abyss True Explanation" now?
Should we wait until we have completed the ninth level of cultivation before embarking on the next stage?

If you switch now, you might miss out on the supernatural powers that might appear when you complete the "Three Turns of the Wheel Meridian Technique".

However, if one waits until they have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining before making the transition, it will take five or six years, followed by a one or two-year conversion period.

I'm already thirty years old, and I feel like I can't afford to waste any more time.

Thinking of this, Fang Jingxuan made a decision directly: the supernatural power that might be awakened by a mere ordinary cultivation technique was not worth his expectations.

Moreover, after switching to the "Mysterious Abyss True Explanation", my cultivation speed might increase even further.

Since that's the case, there's no need to hesitate any longer; let's switch directly to studying "The True Explanation of the Profound Abyss"!
