Dao Seed Immortal Lord

The senior brother on duty was stunned. It took him a long time to react before he took the spiritual herbs one by one from the medicine cabinet at the back, put them into jade boxes, and affixed them with spirit-sealing talismans.

Li Bai put the ten jade boxes back into his Qiankun bag: "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother. I'll take my leave now..."

As Li Bai thanked him and took his leave, the senior brother on duty hesitated for a moment before whispering a reminder: "Junior brother, this top-grade Heavenly Origin Pill is extremely potent. Even a mid-stage Qi Refining Realm cultivator would face risks if they took it, and it would be a waste of its medicinal power... If you do take it... I suggest you divide it into several doses."

Li Bai paused, bowed to the senior brother on duty, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior brother."

He turned around and quickly returned to his wooden house. Finding no one spying on him, he once again entered the Tai Xuan Immortal Mirror Cave, sat down cross-legged, and laid out the jade boxes in a row.

"Now I've really tasted the flavor of wealth," Li Bai muttered to himself, his eyes burning as he examined the jade boxes. He took a deep breath and began to consume and refine them one by one.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

White light appeared one after another, engulfing each medicinal herb.

Deep within his mind, one Dao seed after another continuously condensed.

First, there was the fifteen-year-old Tortoise Breath Grass, which, after being consumed and refined, yielded a light brown Dao Seed.

[Concealing Breath Dao Seed: First-tier, mid-grade Dao Seed, slightly enhances the ability to conceal breath.]

Li Bai was slightly taken aback, then overjoyed.

Concealing one's aura!

The effect was exactly the same as the Breath Concealing Pill. He already had the exchange information for the Breath Concealing Pill in his mind. A mid-grade first-level Breath Concealing Pill would cost five low-grade spirit stones.

One pill's effect lasts for about an hour.

The effect of the Concealing Breath Seed is always present, so the value of this ability is self-evident.

Although his cultivation speed was not slow, his cultivation level was only at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm, which was practically the lowest level in the cultivation world.

If you stay in the immortal sect all the time, then it's not a big deal.

However, if you need to go out, whether it's to explore deep into the demon forest to search for resources or to face cultivators from other hostile forces, this ability to conceal one's breath is definitely one of the most useful.

The second plant was an evil-repelling herb, but unfortunately it failed to condense into a Dao seed. It only caused the Tai Xuan Immortal Mirror Cave Heaven to expand by half a square meter, and its origin to grow stronger slightly again.

Next was a first-tier spiritual herb with a wind attribute, the Wind Spirit Grass. After consuming and refining it, I obtained a new Dao Seed.

[Wind Spirit Seed: A mid-grade first-tier Dao Seed, capable of increasing the escape speed of mid-stage Qi Refining Realm cultivators by up to 30%.]

Li Bai's eyes lit up.

Wind Spirit Dao Seed!?

Even those at the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Realm can increase their escape speed by 30%.

What about if it happened to him now? How much would it increase his escape speed?

The speed of escape is not only an important means of survival, but also the key to chasing down enemies.

Otherwise, even if you can beat the opponent in a fight, you might not be able to outrun them, and if they escape, there could be endless troubles later.

He then consumed and refined another body-tempering spiritual herb, the Iron Bone Flower, and obtained a new Dao Seed.

[Golden Body Dao Seed: Mid-grade, Tier 1 Dao Seed, can enhance physical defense.]

"Good stuff!" Li Bai exclaimed with delight.

With the Golden Body Dao Seed and the Divine Speed ​​Dao Seed, one enhancing defense and the other speed, combined with the attack power of the Sword Heart Dao Seed, his survivability and combat strength are greatly improved.

Continue to refine and consume.

After consuming another spiritual herb, a new Dao seed was obtained, the effect of which was to enhance the range of divine sense perception.

"Good things, the more the better."

One after another...

Li Bai swallowed and refined ten spiritual herbs in one go, and seven Dao Seeds with various effects appeared in his mind. Some enhanced concealment, some enhanced escape speed, some enhanced defense, and some enhanced divine sense. There were many kinds, each with its own wonderful use.

Looking at the newly acquired Dao Seeds, Li Bai nodded in satisfaction. With these new Dao Seeds by his side, some of his shortcomings were somewhat made up for.

"When I have the chance in the future, I will cultivate some techniques or even inherit some methods to completely make up for these shortcomings." Li Bai took a deep breath to collect his thoughts and took out the jade bottle containing three top-grade Heavenly Origin Pills.

Staring at the pills inside the jade bottle, Li Bai's eyes flashed with a burning light.

This is a precious pill that costs one hundred low-grade spirit stones!

He had never imagined that he would have the chance to consume and taste such a high-grade precious pill.

"Let's try it out first and see if I can refine the effects of this pill." Although this precious pill is of extremely high grade and its effects are expected to be extraordinary, Li Bai is more or less confident that he can suppress the effects of this pill.

Moreover, the selection process for the Immortal Sect is approaching, and his current cultivation level is only at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm. Not to mention compared with other geniuses in the Immortal Sect, even compared with Jiang Yunhe, Zhao Yuanqi, Su Wan'er and others, his cultivation level is much weaker.

That opportunity to secure a spot at the archaeological site is not to be missed.

Therefore, he must do everything in his power and spare no expense to improve his cultivation!

Glug!

Li Bai tilted his head back and swallowed a top-grade Heavenly Origin Pill. The moment the pill entered his stomach, an unprecedented surge of power and heat exploded within him like a monstrous wave.

His expression changed instantly, but fortunately, he reacted very quickly and was prepared.

The moment the Supreme Heavenly Origin Pill melted and its effects swept through his entire body, he immediately activated the Azure Wood Spirit Nourishing Technique to mobilize all his magical power to suppress and refine it.

Various Dao Seeds, such as the pseudo-second-tier Sword Heart Dao Seed and the first-tier superior Qi Refining Dao Seed, all shone with brilliant light, blessing themselves.

Especially with the pseudo-second-tier Sword Heart Dao Seed, under the influence of Sword Heart Spiritual Connection, Li Bai had a profound control over his body.

With ease, the effects of the supreme Heavenly Origin Pill were diverted, layer by layer, and gradually broken down and refined...

Although Li Bai was still flushed and his body seemed swollen from the effects of the Supreme Heavenly Origin Pill, he managed to suppress the terrifying effects.

hum!

The moment he suppressed the effects of the supreme Heavenly Origin Pill, Li Bai frantically activated the Azure Wood Spiritual Essence Technique to refine it, condensing strands of Azure Wood magical power.

Visibly, the aura of green wood magic on Li Bai surged one after another.

Three more days passed slowly.

"Buzz!"

The effects of the top-grade Tianyuan Pill in Li Bai's body finally wore off, and he was somewhat exhausted. He opened his eyes wearily, took a deep breath, and after calming down, he looked at the lines of information in his mind.

[Azure Wood Spiritual Essence Technique +68.91%]

Upon seeing this line of text, Li Bai's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes widened: "This top-grade Heavenly Origin Pill is actually this effective!?"

Just one of those items increased his cultivation by nearly 70%!

Although his cultivation level is only at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm, it's still quite frightening.

Logically speaking, he should have waited until he reached the late stage of Qi Refining Realm before consuming this kind of pill to make the best use of its medicinal effects; otherwise, some of its medicinal power would be wasted.

These precious pills aren't cheap; one pill is worth a hundred low-grade spirit stones!

But when he saw that his cultivation level had increased by 68.91%, Li Bai was overjoyed and felt it was all worth it.

"However, it's only because I have the Tai Xuan Immortal Mirror and the Dao Seed that I can suppress its medicinal power, otherwise..." Li Bai shook his head slightly. Sure enough, the senior brother on duty was right.

For someone in the early stages of the Qi Refining Realm to consume a top-grade Heavenly Origin Pill would be too much of a strain and a waste.

[Cultivation Technique: Azure Wood Spiritual Essence Technique (Second Level, 79.25%)]

"I'll rest and recover my energy first, then take a top-grade Heavenly Origin Pill to refine it... I'm not far from reaching the third level of the Qi Refining Realm."

After resting for a day, Li Bai swallowed another pill to refine it.

One day after he took the pill, his cultivation successfully broke through to the third level of the Qi Refining Realm.

The second time he took the top-grade Heavenly Origin Pill, the effect was much worse than the first time, and in the end, it only allowed Li Bai's cultivation to reach the third level of the Qi Refining Realm (25.17%).

"Then let's take a break." Li Bai stopped swallowing the top-grade Heavenly Origin Pill and instead focused on cultivating the Great Spring and Autumn Sword Technique.

With his cultivation breakthrough, he now has much more time to practice the Great Spring and Autumn Sword Technique.

In just one day, he brought the Spring Sword Technique to the brink of mastery.

In just three days, he achieved complete mastery of the Spring Sword Technique!

Meanwhile, as Li Bai practiced, the Summer Sword, Autumn Sword, and Winter Sword gradually reached their peak.

The Great Spring and Autumn Sword Technique: Understanding and Mastering the Sword Intent of the Four Swords.

With the sword intent of the four swords lingering in his mind, Li Bai once again recalled and comprehended the final sword of the Great Spring and Autumn Sword Technique - the Four Seasons Reincarnation Sword Technique, and finally understood the profound realm of this sword technique.

"With a single sword strike, the four seasons cycle and evolve, heaven and earth are born and destroyed, and it also implicitly contains the realm of the Dao giving birth to one, one giving birth to two, two giving birth to three, and three giving birth to all things..."

With the blessing of the pseudo-second-tier sword heart seed, Li Bai's sword heart became spiritually connected, and the sword intent of the four swords lingered in his heart as he stood with his eyes closed.

Yet he stood quietly, surrounded by flashes of sword light, reflecting the gentle spring breezes that bring life to all things, the scorching summer sun that bakes the earth, and the biting winter snow that freezes the land. The sword intent of the four seasons merged into one, evolving and reincarnating.

What appears to be the cyclical evolution of the four seasons, through the spiritual connection of the sword heart, Li Bai had already glimpsed the ultimate essence of the Great Spring and Autumn Sword Technique.

"This is using the metal element to evolve the five elements of heaven and earth!"

He was deeply shocked. When he glimpsed the most fundamental and subtle essence of this sword technique, Li Bai felt his scalp tingle, his mind was in turmoil, and he was stunned.

The creator of this art had an extraordinary audacity!

They actually wanted to use the element of metal to devour the five elements, and with the power of one element, they wanted to evolve the five elements of heaven and earth into a 'self-contained cycle'!
