Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 375 Unwilling
"Senior Brother Fang!"

Yin Feng turned back and caught Fang Renkui, who was about to fall.

Despite this, Yin Feng was still sweating profusely. Although he hadn't made a move, he looked extremely disheveled while holding the three people.

"Master!"

The two sides temporarily stopped fighting, and the group behind the gray-robed youth also flew over. There were about fifteen or sixteen people in total, mainly mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

Zeng Sheng ignored them and instead coldly questioned Yin Feng: "Who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Tongbei Sect?"

Yin Feng did not answer, but his eyes were full of apprehension.

According to the intelligence provided by the sect leader, the Tongbei Sect is the mysterious force that colluded with the Huang family to attack Baolong Valley.

He never expected that the leader of this mysterious force would have the cultivation level of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and even Senior Brother Fang was no match for him.

"Not going to speak? Then you'll all die here."

Zeng Sheng snorted, his magic power condensing into a spear in his hand. Just as he was about to throw it, he suddenly turned around and looked towards the horizon.

Several people flew over, led by a young man with a cold expression.

"Senior Brother Long?"

Upon seeing this, Yin Feng's eyes flashed with joy. Although he had a lot of opinions about Long Yang in the past, in this time of crisis, only Long Yang, who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, could save them.

"Who are you saying died here?"

Long Yang looked around and asked casually.

Without saying a word, Zeng Sheng suddenly threw the spear in his hand at Long Yang.

The spear wielded immense magical power, seemingly intent on tearing all enemies before it to shreds.

But at that moment, a jade bottle rose up, and the unstoppable spear instantly transformed into strands of magical power, all of which were sucked into the bottle's opening.

"He does have some skill."

Long Yang commented, his disdain evident in his tone.

"Insanity!"

Zeng Sheng clenched his fist, then drew the silver bow from his back and shot an arrow at Long Yang.

Long Yang remained unmoved, letting the arrow approach. Suddenly, a large amount of magical energy surged from the jade bottle. The closer the arrow got to Long Yang, the slower it became. Finally, he caught it with one hand, broke it easily, and casually threw it away.

Zeng Sheng's face finally turned ugly, clearly not expecting his attack to be dealt with so easily.

Before he could react, Long Yang activated the Instantaneous Movement Talisman, appearing in front of him and striking out with a palm, his magical power crashing down like a raging torrent.

Zeng Sheng hurriedly retreated, but a violent fluctuation of magical power also came from behind him.

"Leader, be careful!"

Many young cultivators dressed in gray robes shouted loudly.

However, the magic came too fast, and Zeng Sheng couldn't dodge in time. He had no choice but to raise his magic shield, but a young man with nasolabial folds on his face swept his waist with a stick. He groaned and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Who are you?"

Zeng Sheng tilted his head, panting heavily, and looked at the young man with nasolabial folds and the other cultivators in straw hats on the field.

These people, including the two who rescued the Li family members and the Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator who caught his arrow, numbered ten!

In terms of numbers, the Tongbei Sect is naturally not inferior, but all the people in front of them are cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.

why!
Zeng Sheng's face showed resentment. Why did so many powerful unfamiliar cultivators suddenly appear near Baolong Valley?
-
Xiaolan Valley, the residence of the Chi family.

In a secret chamber, a cultivator dressed in a green robe sat cross-legged in meditation. The surrounding water elemental energy was unusually active, forming a thick fog that constantly swirled around him.

After a while, Li Xiangming slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, opened his eyes, and couldn't help but examine the Enlightenment Spirit Spring in his hand, muttering to himself, "It wasn't in vain that I went to such lengths for you." The Enlightenment Spirit Spring truly lived up to its legendary reputation as spiritual water. Perhaps it didn't possess earth-shattering power, but the benefits it brought to cultivation were truly astonishing.

Even if Li Xiangming does nothing, as long as he releases the Enlightenment Spirit Spring, the Enlightenment Spirit Spring will automatically attract the surrounding water spiritual energy, creating a superior cultivation environment for him.

In assisting cultivators to enter a meditative state and stabilize their minds, the Enlightenment Spring is hundreds of times more effective than any Cleansing Spirit Pill.

The combination of these two factors greatly improved Li Xiangming's cultivation efficiency.

It should be noted that the Enlightenment Spring is currently still unclaimed.

The passive effect alone gives people the thought that there is hope for the Great Dao.

No wonder Master Shuijing fought with his old friend for it; and Fairy Lvyun neglected her decades of hard work—the Lvyun Cave—for it, even staging a scene of possessing her disciple.

Li Xiangming couldn't imagine how incredible his cultivation efficiency would be if he could completely refine the Enlightenment Spring.

Unfortunately, no matter how he tried, he couldn't tame the Enlightenment Spring.

However, the Enlightenment Spring did not reject Fairy Green Cloud in the same way, trapping him in a state of "emptiness and clarity" from which he could not extricate himself.

This shows that he is destined to be connected with the Enlightenment Spring; perhaps it's just that the time hasn't come yet.

Those who practice spiritual cultivation must be able to endure loneliness.

Li Xiangming put away the Enlightenment Spring and tightened his evil green robe. The benefits this thing brought him were no less than those of the Enlightenment Spring.

Traditional spiritual practice mainly involves four steps: entering samadhi, breathing exercises, circulating energy throughout the body, and refining spiritual power.

Entering meditation is to use one's divine sense more efficiently, to sense and distinguish the spiritual energy that is suitable for oneself; breathing exercises guide the required spiritual energy into the body; circulating the energy through the body is to manipulate the spiritual energy to stimulate the spiritual apertures, generate magical power, and finally transport the magical power back to the dantian; the final refinement of magical power is to repeat the third step, but this time it is not to transport spiritual energy, but to transport magical power, so as to make the magical power more refined.

Each of these four steps is crucial.

The efficiency of the first three steps, in particular, largely determines a cultivator's cultivation speed.

The advantage of the evil green robe is that it can convert half of the spiritual energy inhaled into a certain amount of magical power, greatly reducing the time required to circulate spiritual energy throughout the body.

Despite the incredible effects, Li Xiangming still needed to diligently practice meditation and breathing exercises during his cultivation.

It can be said that the efficiency of his breathing directly affects the effectiveness of the evil green robe.

However, breathing exercises are closely related to one's spiritual roots. You can't simply force spiritual energy into your body by trying. What can you do if the spiritual energy doesn't come near you?
With Li Xiangming's aptitude of three spiritual roots, he could only exert a portion of the power of the evil green robe in the end. Of course, this portion of the power had already allowed Li Xiangming's cultivation speed to catch up with the geniuses with two spiritual roots.

Now, the Enlightenment Spring has enhanced his efficiency in meditation and breathing exercises. With more spiritual energy being inhaled, the frequency at which the evil green-robed man can convert magical power naturally increases.

The relative importance of the two can no longer be described in terms of which is more important; only through their cooperation can the effect be maximized.

The more Li Xiangming thought about it, the more fortunate he felt. Although the process of seizing the Enlightenment Spring was arduous, the ending was unexpectedly wonderful.

Now, all he needs to do is stabilize his realm and continue to try to refine the Enlightenment Spring; his future is bright.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Li Xiangming put away the Enlightenment Spring and said calmly, "Come in."

A pretty maid gently pushed open the door and knelt down: "Reporting to the Immortal Master, my master requests an audience."

"Homeowner?"

A look of surprise flashed across Li Xiangming's eyes. Chi Laiyi, who was currently in charge of the Chi family, was not actually the head of the family.

The position of family head still rests with Chi Laiyong.

The woman before him, though a mortal, was assigned to his side to take care of his daily needs, so it was impossible for her to say anything wrong.

He immediately got up and went outside.

The maid listened silently to the footsteps until they faded into the distance, then she raised her head slightly, her eyes filled with deep admiration.

When will she be able to become a Celestial Master?
