Gou cultivates martial arts and seeks immortality in the world of cultivation.

Chapter 99 The Soaring Cultivation Time

Lu Lin pondered the specific method.

He picked up the "Sinking Abyss Sword Breathing Technique" and studied it carefully, quickly memorizing the entire text.

Upon further inspection of the Martial Arts Forge, it was discovered that the "Abyss Sword Breath Technique" was not recorded there.

As expected, cultivation methods cannot be directly recorded and used in the martial arts furnace.

Lu Lin immediately sat cross-legged, cleared his mind of distractions, and immersed himself in the martial arts furnace, beginning to focus his cultivation time on the "Gathering Spirit Technique".

While infusing the energy, he continuously visualized and deduced the essence and profound meaning of the "Abyss Sword Breath Technique" in his mind.

[As your cultivation progresses, the "Concealing Spirit Technique" is becoming increasingly insufficient, and you urgently need a more profound method of concealing your breath. You draw inspiration from immortal cultivation methods, intending to extract their essence and integrate it into the "Concealing Spirit Technique." However, immortal and martial arts are incompatible, making this extremely difficult. For the first five years, you repeatedly attempted but failed, achieving nothing.]

[In the sixth year, after tireless attempts and explorations, you finally found a glimmer of opportunity that caused a subtle change in the "Spirit Convergence Technique," but the effect was still negligible.]

[Starting from the tenth year, you returned to simplicity and revisited the cultivation process of the "Gathering Spirit Technique." You practiced it from the beginning, again and again. In this process, you attempted to gradually integrate the essence of the "Abyss Sword Breath Technique," finally achieving initial success.]

Thirty years later, the achievements have gradually expanded...

Eighty years later, the "Gathering Spirit Technique" has been reborn. Once activated, your aura becomes increasingly restrained and profound, your blood energy merges with your muscles, and your blood essence is hidden in your bones, making it difficult even for someone at the peak of Foundation Establishment to detect. But you are not satisfied; you continue to comprehend it, pursuing an even higher realm.

Cultivation knows no time, and innovative methods require even more arduous accumulation. In the long river of time, you have undergone countless trials and errors, with failures following one after another. Finally, three hundred years have passed in a flash. After countless failures, you have successfully fused the strengths of two schools into one, creating a completely new method of breath concealment!

A series of prompts appeared rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, three hundred years of cultivation time had been exhausted.

But the results were remarkable.

He succeeded!
Lu Lin opened his eyes and immediately began to practice the new technique.

In an instant, he completely concealed his aura, with most of his blood and qi hidden deep within his muscles and his blood essence concealed within his bones, leaving his entire aura calm and still.

At this moment, Lu Lin looks no different from an ordinary mortal who knows nothing about martial arts.

"With my current level of concealment, I should be able to handle a Foundation Establishment cultivator without any problems. But whether I can fool a Golden Core cultivator..." Lu Lin wasn't entirely confident.

He had no idea how strong a Golden Core cultivator was, and the Martial Arts Furnace had not provided any relevant hints.

Moreover, there are also differences in strength within the Golden Core realm.

"In the entire Yan Kingdom, only five major sects have Golden Core cultivators in charge, which is not many, and each one is elusive. I suppose it's not easy to encounter one," Lu Lin pondered to himself.

He then began testing the additional effects of this new Breath Concealment technique.

He took a bronze mirror, and with a slight thought, Lu Lin's facial features and appearance in the mirror began to change drastically.

In just a few breaths, he transformed from a handsome young man into a middle-aged man with a resolute, square face.

Immediately afterwards, his bones emitted soft cracking sounds, and his height increased accordingly. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he had grown from about 1.8 meters to nearly 2 meters.

Indeed, this newly created method of concealing one's aura can not only completely conceal one's aura, but also allow one to freely control the muscles and bones of the body, changing one's appearance. Its sophistication far surpasses any disguise technique in the world.

"Wonderful!" Lu Lin examined himself in the bronze mirror from left to right, then changed his appearance again.

This process was repeated several times before the object was restored to its original state.

"Let's name this new method 'The Abyss Convergence Technique'!" Lu Lin combined the names of the two techniques and gave it a new name.

In an instant, the name of the martial arts furnace, "The Spirit Gathering Technique," blurred for a moment, then changed into five ancient characters: "The Spirit Gathering Technique of the Abyss."

Lu Lin glanced at the remaining cultivation time: 1,326 years and two months.

He immediately exchanged all the miscellaneous materials, talismans, pills, and all the mid- and low-grade magic artifacts in Liu Jingxuan's and the middle-aged sword cultivator's storage bags for cultivation time.

This directly added 1,500 years to the cultivation time! The total time reached 2,826 years and two months.

This doesn't even include the value of the mid-grade spirit stones, high-grade magic artifacts, and that top-grade magic artifact.

If all of them were converted, the numbers would be even more staggering.

An unprecedented sense of abundance welled up in Lu Lin's heart.

How should we utilize such a vast amount of time for practice?
After a moment's thought, Lu Lin had several options to choose from:

First, continue to improve the "Demon Ape Blood Qi Technique". Currently, the Demon Ape Blood Qi Technique only has twenty-eight patterns, and its peak can reach thirty-six patterns, so there is still a lot of room for improvement. However, the number of Qi and Blood Pills on hand is limited, and even if all of them are used, the improvement will probably be limited.

Second, upgrade "Flaming Crane Blood Gang".

Yanhe Blood Qi is currently at nine patterns, and the next step is to break through to ten patterns, reaching a level comparable to the mid-stage of the Innate Realm.

However, the Flame Crane Blood Aura and the Demon Ape Blood Aura cannot be used in combination, which is an urgent problem to be solved.

If we don't upgrade the Flame Crane Blood Gang itself, but instead upgrade its accompanying killing move "Ten Thousand Feathers Burning the River", it won't make much sense.

Third, he practiced the newly acquired "Sword Antelope Blood Qi Technique".

However, if one fails to comprehend the "God of the Sword Antelope," one can only cultivate to the tenth level of Body Tempering at most.

After much deliberation, Lu Lin decided to first utilize the existing resources to enhance the Demonic Ape Blood Qi, and then finally comprehend the "Sword Antelope Blood Qi Technique".

Having made up his mind, Lu Lin took out all the remaining Qi and Blood Pills to enhance the Demonic Ape's Blood Qi.

Once all the Qi and Blood Pills were exhausted, the Demon Ape Blood Qi gained two more blood patterns, reaching the level of thirty patterns.

Subsequently, Lu Lin began to focus his cultivation time on the "Ten Thousand Feathers Burning the River" killing move of the Flaming Crane Blood罡 Technique.

Similar to the time required to improve the "Demon Ape Mountain-Shattering Palm," it took a total of more than 500 years to finally cultivate the "Ten Thousand Feathers Burning River" to perfection.

Finally, Lu Lin took out the "Sword Antelope Blood Qi Technique" and studied it carefully.

After reading it through once, the record of this technique appeared on the Martial Arts Furnace.

Driven by his thoughts, he shifted his cultivation time to the "Sword Antelope Blood Qi Technique".

With his superior martial arts skills and profound foundation, the cultivation process was smooth and easy.

Before long, the Sword Antelope Blood Qi Technique broke through to the first level, and then continued to climb like a whirlwind...

The second and third levels followed one after another, and then in one breath we stepped into the fourth and fifth levels...

"Huh? Cultivation is so smooth, I don't even need to take Qi and Blood Pills or Tendon Strengthening Pills?" Lu Lin was slightly surprised.

But then he realized that with his current physical foundation far surpassing that of ordinary people, if he went back to cultivate the martial arts of the Body Tempering Realm, he would naturally have a smooth path and would not need any external assistance.

However, his physical strength hardly increased during this process.

The cultivation of the Body Tempering Realm can no longer provide any substantial enhancement to his already powerful physical body; it is merely a necessary cultivation process.

Continue pouring!

The sixth and seventh levels were easily bypassed, without even needing the Bone Protection Pill.

Then, the eighth and tenth levels came naturally, leading directly to the peak of body tempering.

……

While Lu Lin was diligently cultivating and improving his strength at the inn, Luo Siqing had already ventured deep into the heart of the Demonic Sect and went directly to see the current sect leader, Tuoba Feng.

"Your subordinate, Luo Siqing, greets Sect Master, Senior Brother!"

Above the imposing Demon Palace, Luo Siqing clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, neither humble nor arrogant.

In the world of cultivation, those who have attained the highest level are prioritized, regardless of age, only their cultivation level matters.

Even a young child who has already established a foundation must be addressed as a senior uncle by a hundred-year-old Qi cultivator.

Tuoba Feng, the sect leader of the Blood Fiend Demon Sect, was also at the Foundation Establishment stage. Since Luo Siqing had already established her foundation, she addressed him as her senior brother.

"You say you have important business to discuss with me. What is it?" Tuoba Feng's deep voice echoed in the hall.

"This matter is of great importance. I implore you, Senior Brother, to summon all the elders and peak masters to a gathering. I need to explain this to everyone in public." Luo Siqing said solemnly.

"Should we summon the elders and the peak master?" Tuoba Feng frowned slightly.

“That’s right,” Luo Siqing met his gaze and said frankly, “This matter concerns my true identity.”
