Gou Zai Qingluo Cave Heaven Cultivation

A surge of heat seemed to wash over me from the depths of my soul!

First the bone marrow, then the meridians, and finally the skin and flesh... The heat surged from the inside out, and an indescribable tingling sensation spread throughout the body.

The essence of the demon beast that had been left over from the "Farewell My Concubine" he had previously consumed, which was not yet fully refined in his dantian, merged with this heat current like rivers flowing into the sea, instantly condensing into a surging, terrifying wave.

And at this very moment.

There seemed to be a soft "pop" sound.

Zhou Baoqing's five senses suddenly became brighter. He heard the faint sound of flowing water and the low murmur of the night wind passing through the window cracks in the air around him.

The rich aroma of fish food in the air grew stronger, rising and falling with the wind.

He looked down and examined himself. He saw that the faint glow that had been there between the lines of his palm had become much stronger, and a warm and flawless color shone through his skin.

The surface of the embryo is luminous, like jade and glass!

This is exactly the extraordinary phenomenon described in the "Cultivating the Origin" chapter, which can only manifest when the body's vital energy and blood are extremely abundant.

He clenched his fists, and a muffled roar of air being crushed came from his palms. His blood and qi surged like a raging bull.

Zhou Baoqing was overjoyed.

This feeling of being filled with pure and powerful physical strength is completely different from the confidence brought by external protective methods such as talismans and formations!

Talismans may run out, magical artifacts may be damaged, or even stolen, but the power that is ingrained in one's bones and blood will forever belong to oneself.

More grounded, more profound, and more inspiring fearlessness.

"A single Grade 1 Crimson Blood Pill was enough to transform the little green snail from a mortal, and it even brought me such great fortune! The difference between mortals and spiritual beings is simply like an insurmountable chasm!"

What others casually used as bait for fishing became the destiny that allowed the little green snail to break through its bloodline shackles.

This is also the power of elixirs; no wonder alchemists are of such high status and elixirs are so hard to come by!

Zhou Baoqing was secretly amazed.

If I had spirit stones in the future, and I also used medicine to cultivate, wouldn't my cultivation speed be able to advance by leaps and bounds, allowing me to rise to the top in no time?

He indulged in his daydreams for a while, but soon realized that he was too excited, which caused his Daoist heart to become slightly unsettled, giving rise to unrealistic and delusional thoughts.

He calmed down.

The Green Snail is essentially a demon beast, and its cultivation has always been crude, relying solely on bloodline and talent.

Therefore, consuming the Crimson Blood Pill, a purifying pill for one's bloodline, yields immediate and immediate results, without any hesitation.

However, as a human cultivator, Zhou Baoqing had to consider things from a longer-term perspective.

Not only should one hone their physical strength, but also pay attention to the clarity of their spirit and the harmony of their mind.

If human cultivators also rely solely on taking drugs to forcibly improve their cultivation level, it will inevitably lead to weak blood and unstable foundation. When facing cultivation barriers in the future, it will become a poison that backfires on them, ruining their future.

He then thought that since the cultivation of demon beasts depends entirely on the bloodline, he could take the dual path of "the green snail taking medicine to cultivate itself and cultivating and comprehending on its own"!

The Azure Snail clone was responsible for devouring rare and precious materials to break through the upper limit of his bloodline, and for feeding back the purest and harmless blood energy to his physical body, sparing him the suffering of body tempering.

Meanwhile, the body calmly and peacefully cultivates its embryonic breathing, steadily nurturing its spirit and Dao heart.

It eliminates concerns about the poison damaging one's foundation and ensures a flawless Dao foundation, making it a truly perfect combination.

Once I understood this, my mind became clear.

"I wonder if Little Green Snail's advancement in cultivation will also bring about special changes to the cave?"

With a thought, Zhou Baoqing arrived at the Green Snail Cave.

As soon as he entered, Zhou Baoqing's soul left his body and hovered high in the sky, looking down at this blessed land.

This sight immediately invigorated him.

The space that was originally five zhang in diameter suddenly more than doubled as the little green snail advanced!

The previously crowded underwater area, filled with numerous spiritual plants and blue-scaled fish, suddenly became extremely open and spacious.

The dense water vapor that filled the air underwent a subtle transformation, turning into wisps of real spiritual energy!

Although it is still very faint, this is already a crucial step towards the leap to "cultivation spiritual veins".

Nourished by spiritual energy, the seedlings of spiritual plants—Jade Arrowhead, Purple Water Chestnut, Mysterious Water Chestnut, and Nine-Hole Jade Lotus—grew their leaves even greener, and schools of blue-scaled fish leaped joyfully out of the water, greedily devouring this gift from heaven and earth.

However, what Zhou Baoqing found most incredible was the strange phenomenon underwater.

In this newly expanded clear water, the bottom of the pool, which was originally only covered with green sand, now reflects a bright and clear moon!

"No, that's not right, it's not the moon in the sky, it's a pearl in the water!"

He looked closely and was surprised to find that it was a conch bead formed from the intertwining and condensation of water-based spiritual energy!

The conch shell, shaped like the moon, emitted a soft, bright light as the water rippled, illuminating this celestial world.

Zhou Baoqing was extremely surprised to feel the surging vitality contained within the conch shell.

"Could this be a demon core that has not yet fully formed within the little green snail's body after it shed its mortal form?!"

It is well known that snails and clams are capable of producing pearls and similar products. It is not surprising that the green snail has transformed from an ordinary creature into a spiritual one and produced a snail pearl.

He continued to gaze curiously at the conch shell, trying to understand it.

The conch shell seemed to possess a life of its own, "breathing" with an extremely mysterious rhythm, its expansion and contraction drawing out streaks of silvery-white light.

The light was like a light veil, dreamlike and ethereal, clear and ethereal. With just the breath of the conch pearl, it added an indescribable clarity and vitality to the entire waters of the cave.

Under the light, the leaves of the aquatic plant spread out even more joyfully.

"Hmm? Where did this mysterious stream of light come from? Could it be that the little green snail can now absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

Zhou Baoqing grew increasingly curious, gazing intently and carefully trying to capture the trajectory of those lights.

The light flowed like silver threads, and as he looked in the opposite direction along these threads, he was startled and looked up.

It turned out that thin silver threads were being drawn down from the very top of the dome!

His heart skipped a beat. "This isn't ordinary spiritual energy; it's the power of moonlight!"

Outside the cave, night had fallen and the bright moon hung high.

The cool moonlight, like mercury spilling onto the ground, bathed the small courtyard of Zhishui Pavilion.

In a world unnoticed by others, wisps of pure, cool, and ethereal moonlight are drawn by a strange, mysterious force, piercing through the void and seeping into the shell of a blue snail like scattered stardust, eventually converging into this grotto-heaven.

The moonlight, pure and untouched by any mortal impurities, fell gently into the spiritual pool and was completely absorbed by the conch pearl.

Zhou Baoqing looked at the vast, bright moon hanging high in the sky, then looked down at the gleaming conch shell at the bottom of the cave.

For a moment, the two bright moons echoed each other, and he felt a kind of dazed feeling as if he were traveling in the void. He felt that the whole world was filled with the clear moonlight, which cleansed his soul until it was spotless and pure.
