I can identify everything, but this is an upgraded version of identification.

Normally, to dispel spiritual energy, one would purchase a special spiritual energy-dispelling pill to eliminate the spiritual energy in the body before dispelling the energy. In this way, the meridians would not be damaged at all, but it would take several months of preparation time.

Moreover, there is another drawback: the Spirit Elimination Pill is a second-tier pill, which is generally used by Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Of course, you can also buy those items that are specifically used to kill cultivators and eliminate their spiritual energy, but using them on yourself will inevitably have some side effects.

Aside from normal dissipation of internal energy, there's also forced dissipation of internal energy, like Su Changming's method.

For someone like Su Changming to dissipate his internal energy, unless he has a special physique and exceptionally resilient meridians, he must possess rare and precious materials that allow him to repair his meridians immediately after they are damaged.

Su Changming did not have a special constitution. Although his meridians had been damaged and repaired several times, making him much more resilient than ordinary people, he was still unable to avoid the harm of dissipating his internal energy.

But he had the Jade White Lotus, a miraculous medicine for healing wounds.

With such efficacy, it is already a second-tier spiritual item, which has miraculous effects even on Foundation Establishment cultivators. Using it on a Qi Refining cultivator like him would naturally cure his ailment instantly.

In just half an incense stick's time, Su Changming's meridians had been almost completely repaired.

Once he regained his mobility, Su Changming slowly stood up. His original green robe had been completely transformed into a blood-stained robe, and his entire body was covered in blood.

It looks absolutely terrifying.

"Luckily, I am a martial artist, so losing a little blood is nothing to worry about."

Su Changming immediately left the cave and plunged into the icy stream.

Instantly, a penetrating chill swept over my entire body.

"That feels so good, it's been so long since I took a cold shower."

Normally, with spiritual energy surrounding her, she doesn't need to bathe. Even if she wants to take a bath, Su Rui will have already boiled the water.

Today was the first time I went swimming in the river.

Without the protection of spiritual energy, the stream water was indeed quite cold.

But Su Changming had reached the Body Tempering Realm, so this coldness only made him feel comfortable.

After cleaning up, Su Changming wanted to take out a piece of clothing from the storage bag, but he couldn't take it out for a long time.

After a moment, Su Changming shook his head helplessly.

They had all forgotten that their internal energy had dissipated and that they couldn't use their spiritual energy yet.

Although most of the spiritual energy in his body is still gathered in his spiritual acupoints and dantian.

However, without a cultivation technique, the spiritual energy within the body is like a supercar in the countryside, with nowhere to go.

Fortunately, his cave was right next door, otherwise he would have been running around naked...

The blood-stained clothes had just been thrown into the river and had long since disappeared.

After returning to his cave, Su Changming casually picked out some clothes to put on, intending to slip on the outer robe of a Liuyun Sect disciple. However, he suddenly remembered that he was already an inner disciple and no longer needed to wear the outer disciple's clothes.

With that thought, Su Changming released it and began to cultivate the Hunyuan Gong.

This Hunyuan Gong truly lives up to its reputation as a high-grade Xuan-level technique, far surpassing the Su Changming family's Water Spirit Technique by an unknown margin.

The cultivation path for each level is extremely complex, and those who are not exceptionally gifted cannot easily cultivate it.

"If even a three-element cultivation technique is this complex, how much more complicated would a five-element technique be?"

Su Changming couldn't help but think.

While Hunyuan Gong is good, it is still not the best.

With his five spiritual roots and his special ability to identify and upgrade, he was destined to cultivate the Five Elements Technique, which was invincible among his peers and consumed a huge amount of resources.

As for the Five Elements Technique distributed by the Flowing Cloud Sect... that kind of basic cultivation method, although called a Five Elements cultivation method, is actually just a combination of five attribute cultivation methods. Even if you spend several times the resources to cultivate the five elements, there is not much synergy between them.

It's not as good as this Hunyuan Gong.

Not only can it unleash three attributes simultaneously, but it can also gather primordial spiritual power. A single strand of this spiritual power is comparable to two strands of ordinary spiritual power. This is probably the fundamental reason why this technique is considered invincible among its peers...

With his eyes slightly closed, Su Changming introspected and manipulated the spiritual energy within his spiritual acupoints to construct the circulation path of the Hunyuan Gong.

No sleep for one night.

Su Changming opened his eyes at just the right moment.

"Qi Refining Level 2... This technique is indeed resource-intensive. With my Water Spirit Technique at Level 9, I can only cultivate this technique to Level 4 at most."

This is partly due to the Water Spirit Technique dissipating a lot of spiritual energy, but it is also due to the Hunyuan Technique consuming resources.

"But what I have no shortage of is resources..."

Su Changming walked out of the cave, found the tallest boulder, sat cross-legged on it, formed hand seals, and began to absorb the purple energy.

This is something he does every day without fail, ever since he obtained the Purple Cloud Manual.

After a long while, Su Changming let out a long breath, his head covered in sweat.

And a red sun slowly rose in the sky.

"Fortunately, my foundation in the Hunyuan Gong is solid, and my second-level cultivation is enough to grasp the purple energy."

Su Changming wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself.

"Master...Master, something terrible has happened! Our cave was haunted yesterday!"

Just then, Su Rui spoke up nervously in a low voice.

In the past, whenever Su Changming came out to absorb the purple energy, Su Rui would watch from the side.

She knew that the master must be practicing some kind of magical technique.

Otherwise, who could sit on a rock and be covered in sweat so early in the morning?

"Don't rush, don't rush, tell me in detail, what's going on with the ghost?"

Su Changming asked in surprise.

There are indeed ghosts in the world of cultivation, and even ghost cultivators, but those things are not easy to form. Lonely ghosts and wandering spirits are scattered by the wind, so how could they possibly appear in his cave?

"I saw it with my own eyes: a row of bloody footprints leading straight out of your cave from your room, sir."

Su Rui said in a somewhat frightened tone.

"Haha, that's just because I had a mishap during my cultivation and bled a little."

Su Changming laughed heartily.

"Blood comes from a mistake during cultivation? Sir, are you in pain? Would you like some hot water?"

Su Rui was startled upon hearing this.

Do cultivators bleed during their cultivation, just like women?

"No need for that. Come on, the master will help you move today. Grab whatever you need to pack."

Su Changming shook his head.

His cultivation level had been restored, although he was only at the second level of Qi Refining, it was enough for him to use the storage bag.

He selected some medicinal herbs that were still useful and put the homemade puppet into his storage bag.

After carefully selecting items, the storage bag was already half full.

"Why did you bring so much stuff?"

Seeing Su Rui carrying large and small bags, Su Changming asked in confusion.

"Master, this is the Purple Cloud Grass you ordered, and this is tea that's only sold in Jing Kingdom. You especially like it. And this is Little Yellow Dragon Meat, you love it..."

Su Rui took out the packages and spoke to them one by one.

"Alright, put everything down except for this tea. It's not like you can't buy it once you're inside the sect, and there are even better options."

Su Changming said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Although the Void Cloud Grass is a precious medicine that martial artists dream of using to improve their physical constitution, Su Changming's efforts of eating it day and night have rendered it completely ineffective.

Of all the items Su Rui mentioned, only the upgraded Bitter Spring Autumn tea would benefit him.
