Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

"This is enough," Jiang Shi thought to himself.

Although the Bloodthirsty Vine was dangerous, it posed no threat to him and was perfect for cultivating the "Wood Devouring Divine Technique".

Thinking of this, a large amount of fire-type magic power surged from Jiang Shi's dantian, and he then used the "Fire Generates Earth" technique to convert it into earth-type magic power.

Yellow sand swirled in the air, forming sharp earthen blades that slashed at the bloodthirsty vines on the stone wall.

Faced with the power of Jiang Shi, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, this Bloodthirsty Vine was completely unable to withstand it and was directly cut into pieces.

Jiang Shi used yellow sand to transport the Bloodthirsty Vine, which floated in the sky and headed towards Biluo Valley.

Along the way, the Qi Refining cultivators of Biluo Valley were all horrified when they saw it.

Normally, no Foundation Establishment cultivator would act in such a grand manner.

No one dared to use magic like this in Biluo Valley. If they disturbed the Valley Master, they would be sent to Granny Zhu to be fed insects.

Jiang Shi's actions drew out the Foundation Establishment stage elders, who thought a fight had broken out.

But when they saw that it was Jiang Shi who did it, they instantly understood.

He is a disciple personally taught by the Valley Master of Flower Valley; no wonder he is so bold.

"Junior Brother Jiang, what's going on?" Elder Xu flew over and asked.

"It's nothing, just some Bloodthirsty Vines cut down, it's a minor matter, no need to worry about it," Jiang Shi said casually, continuing to transport the Bloodthirsty Vines.

If there hadn't been so many Bloodthirsty Vines that they couldn't all fit in the storage bag, they wouldn't have been so conspicuously displayed and attracted so much attention.

Chen Sisi watched this scene from a distance, her heart filled with resentment.

"So many Bloodthirsty Vines, is he trying to cultivate the 'Wood Devouring Divine Technique'? Did that bitch Valley Master teach him that?!" Chen Sisi was filled with hatred.

Chen Sisi deeply hates Jiang Shi, and she also deeply hates Hua Luoyu.

Liu Xiu was her favorite disciple and the only one who had mastered the "Wood Devouring Divine Technique".

Liu Xiu is dead now, killed by Jiang Shi!

She vowed to avenge her disciple in the future!

Meanwhile, Jiang Shi had already transported all the first-grade bloodthirsty vines into the cave.

The first-grade bloodthirsty vines were piled up inside the cave, and Jiang Shi used yellow sand to fix them in place, preventing them from moving around.

This bloodthirsty vine is like a snake; even when it's dead, it will still move around.

If it's not restrained, it will cause a lot of trouble if it runs around.

Inside the cave, Jiang Shibu set up an isolation formation and used his magic to create a second isolation.

To prevent others from peeping, Jiang Shi will next cultivate the "Wood Devouring Divine Technique".

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Jiang Shi waved his hand, and a piece of bloodthirsty vine flew over and landed in his hand.

"bite!"

Jiang Shi activated the "Devouring Wood Divine Technique," his magical power enveloping the Bloodthirsty Vine, gradually devouring it completely.

It all transformed into the pure essence of the Bloodthirsty Vine Tree, which merged into Jiang Shi's body.

If Jiang Shi absorbs this essence of wood, he will become bloated like Chen Sisi and Liu Xiu.

While that could transform the body into something like a magical artifact, it would be an incorrect cultivation method with significant flaws.

If you're not careful, you'll become like a monster, and you'll never be able to recover.

Jiang Shi cultivated the mid-grade Xuan-level techniques "Wood Generates Fire" and "Fire Generates Wood".

He is extremely skilled at this manipulation.

Jiang Shi easily controlled this essence of wood, directing it into his liver.

[Proficiency +10]

As the essence of wood enters the liver, the proficiency of the "Wood Devouring Divine Technique" continues to increase.

Although the speed is not fast, it is continuous.

There are a large number of first-grade Bloodthirsty Vine, enough for Jiang Shi to master this technique!

Regardless of the outside world, Jiang Shi continued to devour the first-grade Bloodthirsty Vine, and his "Wood Devouring Divine Technique" grew stronger day by day.

One week later.

【Wood-Eating Divine Technique: Minor Success (10/1000)】

Through continuous absorption and cultivation, Jiang Shi broke through to the next level.

Xiao Cheng's "Wood-Eating Divine Technique" improved Jiang Shi's physical fitness by several levels.

As a result, their lifespan was extended by another 200 years.

The essence of this wood strengthens the liver, enhances physical strength, and prolongs life.

Moreover, he constantly used the spells "Wood generates Fire" and "Water generates Wood" to manipulate the essence of wood.

He has made progress in both of his mid-grade Xuan-level techniques.

Among them, the mid-grade Xuan-level technique [Water Nourishes Wood] has already broken through to the minor completion stage.

[Water-based Wood: Minor Achievement (20/1000)]

The mid-grade Xuan-level technique, [Wood Generates Fire], is not far from achieving mastery.

Perhaps I can achieve a breakthrough during this period of seclusion.

Not only that, Jiang Shi also gained some insights during this breakthrough.

Jiang Shi opened his eyes, channeled the essence in his liver, and activated the wood-elemental spiritual energy within his body.

He suddenly pointed a finger at the stone wall.

A beam of green light shot out from Jiang Shi's finger, and the stone wall exploded with a loud bang, creating a large hole.

Jiang Shi watched this scene with great delight. He had a slight realization that he might be able to create his own magic technique.

This technique originated from the "Devouring Wood Divine Technique" and also contains the concept of the mutual generation of the five elements.

Once created, its power will certainly be extraordinary.

Perhaps it can reach the prefecture level!

It hasn't been fully created yet, and there's no indication of its destiny yet: "Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable."

I still need to continue practicing.

While Jiang Shi was diligently secluded in his studies.

At this moment, in the inner hall of Qingyun Sect.

Lu Yuanfeng knelt down and begged for forgiveness from Sect Leader Lu.

"How dare you conceal the fact that your sword heart has been damaged!" Sect Leader Lu said to Lu Yuanfeng in a deep voice, his face grim.

"Please forgive me, Senior Brother Sect Leader!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanfeng immediately kowtowed and begged for forgiveness.

"Considering your years of service to the sect, we'll let it go this time. But if there's a next time, you know what will happen!"

After finishing speaking, Sect Leader Lu took out a porcelain bottle and tossed it to Lu Yuanfeng.

"This is Sword Heart Water; consuming it will repair your Sword Heart!"

"Thank you for the gift, Senior Brother Sect Leader! Thank you for the gift, Senior Brother Sect Leader!" Lu Yuanfeng said hurriedly as he accepted the porcelain bottle.

"Go into seclusion and cultivate. Do not leave the house without my orders!" Sect Leader Lu commanded.

Lu Yuanfeng received the order and immediately withdrew.

After he left, Lu Chuanxuan walked in from behind and came to stand in front of Sect Leader Lu.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader." Lu Chuanxuan bowed to Sect Leader Lu.

"As soon as you returned, you went into seclusion to recuperate. How are your injuries now?" Sect Leader Lu asked, but what he really wanted to ask was Hua Luoyu's current cultivation level and whether she was about to break through to the Golden Core stage.

If another Golden Core cultivator were to join Biluo Valley, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even with top-grade spiritual artifacts, their Qingyun Sect couldn't withstand two Golden Core stage cultivators.

The difference in strength between the major realms is too great. High-grade spiritual weapons can only be used for sneak attacks. If a Golden Core cultivator becomes vigilant and flees far away, the Qingyun Sect will be destroyed.

Lu Chuanxuan naturally understood what Sect Leader Lu wanted to ask, and he quickly replied:

"That Flower Rain actually used a low-grade magic weapon; this time, we were unable to detect whether her cultivation had improved!"

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Lu's expression darkened even further.
