Guixu Immortal Kingdom

Chapter 55 Condensing Serpent Patterns
A peaceful night.

After thwarting the attack, the camp became very safe, allowing them to spend the night peacefully. As the first rays of dawn seeped down from the void, the camp began to regain its former bustling atmosphere. The grief of losing men in the battle the previous night was hidden on everyone's faces, with no more lingering sorrow.

Even the survivors all looked almost identical.

The feelings brought about by death are the fastest to mature.

There is great terror between life and death.

Get up, take out your toiletries, brush your teeth and wash your face. With Su Yue around, getting these daily water needs is not difficult at all. Although you can't gather too much water, it's perfectly fine for simple washing and daily life.

He packed up the python tent, but Hu Youni and Su Yue were already gone. They had gotten up even earlier than him. As they left, he noticed that they had headed towards a secluded spot outside the camp, into a sheltered area. He guessed that, most likely, they had gone to take care of their business.

"This will be the next time. After this, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will officially embark on the path of cultivation, cross the threshold, and condense the corresponding magic runes."

"Although my mental strength has not yet fully recovered to its maximum value, it is not a problem to maintain it for just one cultivation session. Breakthrough should be done sooner rather than later."

After dealing with the relevant trivial matters, Ji Tianhao stood on Baxia's back, his expression showing a hint of caution. As expected, this tenth time would allow him to complete a comprehensive tempering of his skin, enabling him to truly enter the realm of skin refining.

After preparing, I naturally began my tenth practice session.

The whole process went smoothly.

Black hole breathing technique.

The Chaos Jade Cauldron Visualization Method.

Bullish Mighty Fist.

From breathing to visualization to movement exercises, the whole set of movements was incredibly smooth.

After completing a set of punches, the Chaos Jade Cauldron spun around its body once more. An invisible force once again unlocked the shackles of its skin, and every inch of its skin naturally conveyed a thirst for energy, a yearning for evolution, anticipating a complete transformation.

"The essence of all spirits, helps me transform."

"The serpent pattern will coalesce at this very moment."

Without the slightest hesitation, in the blink of an eye, two grains of refined rice were ready on the Kunlun Jade Plate. This time, the prepared essence was a combination of death essence and life essence. The fusion of the two essences, condensing into the light of all spirits, was absorbed into the skin. Upon this absorption, the death power contained within instantly made the entire skin feel endless cold, as if all vitality had been completely frozen, and the skin began to wither and stiffen.

All the luster vanished eerily.

It was incredibly shocking. At that moment, Ji Tianhao felt as if he couldn't even detect the existence of his own skin, as if his skin had truly entered a state of death. Then, within the Light of All Spirits, a powerful life force was transmitted and merged into it, stimulating his skin to revive once again.

This alternation of death and rebirth.

It caused an amazing change in the skin on the spot.

On the outside, a layer of dead skin, like fine down, falls off directly from the body and falls to the ground, turning into a layer of snow-white debris. An ordinary person would probably feel a chill down their spine upon seeing this. The skin that has shed its skin reveals crystal-clear, jade-like new skin, with a layer of precious light flowing around it.

These are not the most important things.

Even more mysteriously, the accumulated qi and blood within the skin over the past few days suddenly contracted at the very moment the skin transformed. This contraction crushed all the qi and blood stored within the skin, directly fusing the qi and blood with the life force. Immediately afterward, the previously scattered qi and blood and life force merged together, coalescing into a unique force.

During this process, both the Black Hole Breathing Technique and the Chaos Jade Cauldron Visualization Technique were operating perfectly.

With each breath, the body's vital energy and blood vibrate.

The Chaos Jade Cauldron doesn't need any external force to activate; it rotates on its own. At this moment, essence, energy, and spirit perfectly merge into the blood and life force field.

Without realizing it, my mind suddenly went blank.

The blood and qi in the membrane and the special source matter in the life force field perfectly merged and became one, and a long black snake was born. This snake shuttled through the membrane. Sometimes, the snake's head directly bit the snake's tail, and the head and tail were connected, forming a perfect ouroboros ring in the membrane.

It rotates continuously within the membrane, like a snake-like halo.

Every moment, one can feel the vital energy contained within this black snake, as if it possesses a special spirituality, perfectly merging with the vital energy and connecting seamlessly with the skin. One can instinctively sense the power contained within it.

"The skin undergoes a transformation. During this transformation, the resulting life rhythm directly triggers the fusion of the life force field and the blood and qi, mixing the life essence and compressing and condensing the blood and qi into a unique force. This process is called condensing the mantra. This is a symbol of successful skin refining. The skin itself has become so tough that ordinary blunt weapons cannot cut through it."

Ji Tianhao felt the changes within his body.

The most noticeable change is the increased toughness of the skin membrane, which has risen to a new level. Ordinary fruit knives can no longer cut into it; the increased density and defensive capabilities are a result of the transformation achieved during the skin-refining process.

"Condensing the snake pattern increases the strength within the skin by one hundred jin. This increase will be permanent, building upon the foundation of one's own physical strength. Indeed, the changes produced after condensing the magic pattern are truly powerful." Ji Tianhao felt the power transmitted from the snake pattern.

Due to individual physical limitations, everyone's strength varies, depending on their physique and other factors. Some people can exert a force of 100 jin (50 kg), while others can exert a force of 200 jin (100 kg). These are the differences in physical strength.

However, the condensation of mana runes is unaffected by any physical constitution or physique. Condensing a snake rune grants an extra hundred jin of strength, which can be displayed at any time. This is an unexpected surprise and the most basic benefit gained by every cultivator who truly condenses mana runes.

One hundred pounds may not seem like much, but in cultivation, being able to increase one's strength is the most perfect thing.

No one would complain about having too much power.

call! !

After feeling the blood and energy in his body completely merge into the magic rune, he gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.

One could clearly see the silhouette of a black snake mysteriously appearing and slithering across the skin. From the surface, it looked like a natural tattoo of a black snake. The magical runes were, in themselves, an integral part of the body.

The gathering of Dharma patterns is called obtaining the Dharma.

"Wow, that's fast! It's only been a few days, and you've already mastered skin refining, condensing the snake pattern from the magic runes and reaching the first stage of skin refining. Brother Ji is truly a cultivation genius; your talent far surpasses that of ordinary people. Condensing the snake pattern can increase your strength by a hundred jin."

Liu San was nearby, and his attention to Ji Tianhao never stopped.

Witnessing him molt and complete a small transformation, with black snake patterns appearing directly on his body, perfectly demonstrated that his skin refinement had reached a new stage at the snake pattern level.

From the very beginning to the formal entry into the Void, only a few days have passed, yet they have gone from nothing to achieving the level of skin refining and condensing snake patterns. If this were to be told, it would scare countless people into despair.

He was one of them.

He failed to cultivate the magic runes and reach the level of obtaining the magic.

He could only barely survive by relying on his own talent. Firstly, his talent in cultivation was not high, and he did not have enough cultivation resources, secret medicines, and powerful elixirs to assist him. As for the Guixu Coins, he had some, but the problem was that while Guixu Coins could replace cultivation resources, he needed to obtain the method and condense magic patterns to absorb the energy within them and convert it into cultivation resources. Otherwise, he could only watch helplessly as he longed for something better.

It's visible, but unusable.

In comparison, Ji Tianhao, who had mastered the art of skin refining in just a few days, was an astonishing figure.

I wonder how many people will be shocked.

"It's only just formed the lowest level of snake pattern. Is it that difficult? There are still python pattern, dragon pattern, and jiao pattern on it. I wonder if I will ever have the chance to transform into a dragon pattern in the future."

Ji Tianhao smiled indifferently, as if it were nothing to worry about.

"You've mastered the skin-refining technique and condensed snake patterns. That's wonderful! Brother Ji's cultivation speed is truly impressive. I'm still struggling to even execute a single set of fist techniques."

Su Yue revealed a look of envy and surprise.

Ji Tianhao is the biggest backer she can rely on right now, so the stronger the better.

"He cultivates two to three times a day. I really don't know where he gets so many cultivation resources. Are all the things that come out of the Creation Orb cultivation resources?"

Hu Youni's eyes darted around, and she murmured to herself.

Ji Tianhao's cultivation is undeniably diligent, and no one can criticize that. However, cultivation requires resources; without resources, nothing can be achieved. His ability to cultivate snake patterns in such a short time undoubtedly indicates a significant investment of resources.

As for where the resources came from, the large number of Creation Orbs obtained in the initial land naturally came to mind.

It's entirely possible to drive it out from inside.

Of course, while I felt envious, I was mostly happy.

Finally, among this group of newly arrived people, some have stepped into the threshold of cultivation.

"Snake patterns can increase strength by 100 jin, and if it is promoted to python patterns, it can increase strength by 1,000 jin. The legendary dragon pattern can increase strength by 10,000 jin, and the dragon pattern can increase strength by 100,000 jin. Compared with the snake pattern, the dragon pattern is worlds apart. Those who have the ability will try their best to improve the quality of their magic patterns."

“Your skin-refining technique is of a low quality. The Mighty Bull Fist is only a Yellow-rank skin-refining technique, which can only condense snake patterns at most. It has no potential to allow you to break through to python patterns. I have a Profound-rank skin-refining technique here. Do you want to exchange it? You can use the Creation Orb.”

Liang Hongguang walked over, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
