Cultivation begins with harvest.

"Harvested one portion of Blood-He Shou Wu (Excellent), and obtained six portions of the Blood Qi Pill."

……

Of the ten He Shou Wu plants, only two were of excellent quality, while the rest were of good quality. A total of 20 copies of the first volume of the Blood Classic, 14 Blood Qi Pills, and 18 Blood-Containing Techniques were harvested.

I also completed the first stage of cumulative rewards for Blood He Shou Wu, and while unlocking the Seed Condensation Technique, I obtained a copy of the [Ember Blood Battle Technique].

The Bloodstained Battle Technique allows one's own blood energy to form a special blood film that adheres to the body surface. With this blood film present, it makes it difficult to stop the bleeding of those injured by one's own punches and kicks.

This is merely the effect of cultivating to a minor level. Cultivating to a major level will allow the target to continuously expand the wound as it bleeds. If it reaches perfection, it can also attach itself to spiritual artifacts or even some simple objects, becoming more flexible and unpredictable. Within fifty steps, its power will be maximized.

"This is perfect for me!"

Originally, Chen Guang's desire to cultivate combat techniques was not very strong. Combat techniques are based on the body and are different from magic. They are a complete set of techniques that include body movements, fist and foot techniques, power generation techniques, magic power circulation, and acupoint manipulation.

The magical power of a body-refining cultivator is distributed to the limbs and bones through the heart aperture. Therefore, the exertion of physical power is the process by which a body-refining cultivator calls upon their main magical power.

To learn combat tactics, one must practice day and night. But how long does it take to learn a set of martial arts skills?

It takes three or four months to learn just a few routines, and to truly master a skill, it takes years. Practicing routines and strengthening physical fitness every day... Chen Guang simply didn't have the time and energy for that.

Normally, cultivators before the fourth level of Body Refinement only master one set of combat techniques, supplemented by spells such as [Golden Body Technique] and [Light Body Technique] to form a system. Only after reaching the fourth level of Body Refinement will they begin to cultivate a larger number of combat techniques.

A battle strategy is essentially equivalent to a martial arts manual.

But the Bloodlust Battle Tactics are really interesting.

The burning pain from the cotton needle and the excruciating pain from the blood-scorching technique are real psychological damage.

Chen Guang also possessed the Yin Fire Pill.

The Bloodlust tactic alone may have limited effect. The Bloodlust tactic also requires sufficient time and a chase length to be effective. The more urgent the battle, the less obvious the effect. However, if it is integrated into a system and multiple negative effects are added, it will be extraordinary.

Chen Guang thought he could also poison the cotton fire needle.

The prerequisite is that the Bloodstained Battle Technique must be mastered to perfection before it can be attached to the Fire Needle.

Considering his attitude towards cultivating the Blood Scripture, and the necessity of using spiritual objects that enhance the combat techniques and blood attributes to cultivate the Blood Scripture to its perfect state, it is inevitable that he will need to rely on them.

However, this is the limitation of combat tactics. For example, when cultivating fire-attribute spells, one can definitely use spiritual items such as fire peaches to speed up the process.

However, the effects of combat techniques are limited. They are mostly used in the cultivation process and the recovery of the physical body afterward, and the time required to cultivate them to perfection is still very long.

Of this harvest, only the raw Polygonum multiflorum root can be sold.

On average, a single piece of superior-grade He Shou Wu weighs five taels, while a piece of excellent-grade He Shou Wu weighs eight taels. One tael can fetch about 53 yuan, bringing in a total income of over 3,500 yuan.

Unless you refine it into an elixir yourself, the benefits of Blood Polygonum multiflorum are limited.

Even though it's 3,500, it's not a low amount.

Starting today, Chen Guang has paid much more attention to the Blood Sutra and has also devoted some effort to cultivating the Blood Ember Battle Technique.

Practicing combat tactics is not only tiring, but also consumes a lot of vital energy, so it is inevitable to use vital energy pills.

However, Chen Guang only scratched the surface of his cultivation techniques, and it was still a long way off before he could truly master the Bloodstained Battle Technique.

Nine days have passed in the blink of an eye, and eleven of the twenty Concentration Flowers have matured.

The scale-like leaves tightly wrap around the stem, and at the tip, a small, whitish flower, no bigger than a walnut, blooms, its petals forming a wave shape.

The faint floral fragrance is almost imperceptible unless you get close and sniff carefully; it is completely incomparable to the fragrance of the cold orchid that fills the entire icy mist array.

"Give me some effort, or I'll be stuck selling shrimp oil."

Since making the first batch of frozen shrimp oil, Chen Guang has been making a little shrimp oil intermittently, because there are not many mature frozen shrimp during this period, and the quantity is also average.

Although Cang's Fanglintang has acquired Chen Guang's recipe, it will not be effective in the short term. The ice-tailed shrimp will take at least 160 days to mature, and the ice-mouthed shrimp oil has not yet appeared in the market.

Its value is definitely still too high.

While shrimp oil might still be useful to him, Chen Guang hoped to extract some items with trading value.

"Harvested one Mind-Concentrating Flower (Excellent), obtained six Mind-Concentrating Pills."

"Harvested one Spirit-Concentrating Flower (Excellent), obtained two Spirit Items [Azure God Incense]"

"Harvested one Concentration Flower (Excellent), obtained six Visualization Techniques [Azure Peak Diagram]"

……

A total of 7 were excellent and 4 were outstanding.

16 Concentration Pills, 14 sticks of Azure Spirit Incense, and 20 copies of Azure Peak Visualization Diagrams.

Chen Guang closed his eyes and focused his mind. A picture of a mountain shrouded in mist, with only a corner of its green hue visible, appeared in his mind. Just that one corner gave Chen Guang a feeling of vitality, as if everything was enveloped in greenery.

At the same time, one can feel a profound, steady, and extremely powerful aura emanating from the mountain peak.

As one reward orb after another was activated, the thick clouds and mist shrouding the entire azure mountain peak thinned considerably, revealing the blurry outline of the thousand-foot-tall azure mountain and the ancient, gnarled trees on it.

Moreover, the entire mountain peak felt even more solid and weighty.

"The Qingyue Visualization Diagram has become clearer." Chen Guang smiled knowingly.

Visualization diagrams are an important way to enhance the soul and temper the consciousness, especially for spiritual practitioners, where they are a highly sought-after resource.

A visualization diagram is essentially a consumable item, imprinted by cultivators with powerful spiritual souls. It is mostly circulated in the form of paintings and poems. Each time it is used, the imprint on it fades a little, while at the same time, a solid imprint is formed in the user's sea of ​​consciousness, which contains a powerful cultivator's perception of the spirit of heaven and earth.

It contains a faint Daoist essence, yet also possesses the wondrous power to temper one's will and refine one's soul.

Visualization also requires a gradual process. Directly revealing the full picture of the visualization diagram will cause serious damage to the soul of low-level cultivators, ranging from dementia to sudden death.

As one grasps the essence of the visualization and strengthens one's spirit, the full picture of the visualization will gradually unfold.

Chen Guang's Qingyue Visualization Diagram was somewhat different. The full picture had appeared, but the pressure on the soul was no different from that of revealing a corner. On the contrary, it made it easier for Chen Guang to control that divine charm.

While others are like blind men touching an elephant, the Qingyue Visualization Diagram presents the full outline of the elephant with sufficient weight.

With each additional Qingyue visualization diagram obtained, the outline becomes clearer.

"Just as I expected, the rewards from the Concentration Flower are indeed all related to the soul. The difference is that I only thought there might be a Concentration Pill, but I didn't expect there to be a visualization diagram."

Visualization diagrams are a reliable and powerful means of enhancing the soul. They are useful not only for spiritual cultivation but for all cultivators. However, they are also consumables, and obtaining a visualization diagram is more difficult than obtaining a spiritual cultivation technique.

Spiritual cultivation techniques are more stable in enhancing the soul, but they are not as effective or versatile as visualization techniques.

Chen Guang's current conditions for cultivating his soul can be described as excellent.

To refine and enhance the spirit, there is a Spirit-Concentrating Pill.

Azure Divine Incense accelerates the effects of soul technique cultivation.

Visualization diagrams that can enhance the spirit simply by visualizing...

His future is limitless.

"So it's more valuable, isn't it?" Chen Guang twirled a solid, cyan pill that emitted a reassuring scent in his palm before putting it away.

With the visualization diagram, there's no problem in not using the Concentration Pill for the time being, right?
