Cultivation begins with harvest.

The Blood Classic.

There are many directions to cultivate on the path of immortality, and many cultivation methods can be practiced at the same time because the focus of cultivation is different. However, in the same direction, only one cultivation method can be practiced at a time. You can switch to another cultivation method or continue practicing it midway. For example, if a cultivation method only contains the content of the Qi Refining stage, you can directly cultivate the foundation building part of another cultivation method when you reach the Foundation Building stage.

Of course, the specific decision on whether to completely rebuild the practice or to directly continue it depends on the conflict between the different techniques.

The "Purple Qi Rising to Brightness Technique" given to outer disciples by Ziling Peak is a very suitable technique for continuing or switching cultivation methods, and it has little impact on subsequent techniques.

"Purple Qi Rising to Brightness" is a practice method in the "Qi Refining" path.

The Blood Refining Scripture is a technique for "body refinement," so the two will not conflict.

In addition, one can also cultivate "Spirit Forging," a technique to refine and increase one's spiritual soul. However, it is much rarer. At least the Qi Refining and Body Refining techniques are available in the Scripture Pavilion, but Spirit Forging is much rarer. It is only available to disciples of Purple Spirit Peak, and at least Foundation Establishment cultivators are qualified to obtain it.

Chen Guang carefully studied the "Blood Regeneration Scripture," a technique for strengthening blood and qi and rapidly recovering health. Its special ability is "Blood and Flesh Regeneration."

Every martial art has its own unique abilities.

This involves stages of cultivation.

For example, the Qi cultivation period can be divided into: early stage, middle stage and late stage.

The early stage of Qi Refining, which is the first, second, and third levels, is the stage where one possesses magical power and begins to improve their physical body.

The theoretical lifespan of a normal mortal is 100 years, but the vast majority of mortals do not live to that age. Due to various reasons such as mundane life, injuries, fatigue, insufficient nutrition, and unsuitable living environment, their actual lifespan is greatly reduced.

In the early stages of Qi cultivation, this aspect can be gradually improved and compensated for. The cultivation speed is naturally linked to spiritual energy, aptitude, and other factors. However, the early stages of Qi cultivation are different and are often related to the degree of physical perfection.

The more severely one's vital energy is damaged, the more worldly and mundane one becomes, and the worse one's diet and clothing become, the longer this process will be indefinitely prolonged.

Only when the body is healthy and complete can it accommodate enough magical power to reach the third level of Qi Refining. At this time, as long as one does not live too badly, one can live to be eighty or ninety years old, very close to one hundred years old. However, some deep-rooted hidden illnesses are difficult to eradicate. That is the problem that only cultivators preparing to establish their foundation will face. At least for the first three levels of Qi Refining, it is enough to be generally unimpeded.

Then comes the mid-stage of Qi Refining, where the mastery of "Qi" is even higher. This is mainly reflected in the natural formation of a layer of magical energy shield, which can be activated with a single thought. It is not particularly strong and consumes very little magical energy. As the realm improves, its abilities will further enhance, allowing it to avoid water and fire, prevent poison and wind, and dispel cold and keep warm. Its survival ability is greatly improved, allowing mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators to survive in more complex environments.

Therefore, the cultivators in the Qi Hall of Ziling Peak are at least at the fourth level of Qi Refining. The cultivators in the Xingfeng Hall office are not completely hopeless. If they fail the small test, they can transfer to the Shengling Hall or Qi Hall after reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining in the office. If they are expelled again this time, they will have to leave Ziling Peak for good.

Similarly, even if someone is expelled from another branch, they can still come to farm or something, and they have a second chance. It is precisely because they still have choices and hope that most of the disciples in the office are very serious and responsible, and have a very good attitude.

In the worst-case scenario, one can remain in the office and cultivate to the seventh level of Qi Refining, thus becoming a steward disciple. However, the office has many complicated matters and few resources and benefits, making it even more difficult.

The seventh level of Qi Refining signifies entering the late stage of Qi Refining.

At this stage, Qi Refining cultivators can unleash the "special abilities" of different cultivation techniques. Each technique requires at least the seventh level of Qi Refining to have enough mana to allow the meridians and physical body to undergo a quantitative transformation before the accompanying spells of that technique can be cast.

The accompanying spell of "Purple Qi Facing the Brightness" is "Purple Smoke Illumination," which generates a special purple smoke to protect oneself from the influence of evil spirits, illusions, and extreme environments. It is more passive but also very practical. It does not require much mana and does not conflict with the mana shield. On the contrary, they amplify each other and enhance each other's power.

The special ability of the Blood Regeneration Scripture is [Blood Regeneration], which can accelerate the self-repair of some physical injuries. Even some severe internal organ damage can be quickly healed and the bleeding can be stopped. After a period of time, it will regenerate and heal. Or if the hands and feet are broken, as long as they are reattached immediately, they can be restored to their original state quickly. However, it requires an extra large amount of blood and qi, and even essence blood.

Ordinary body-refining techniques increase strength and make the body more robust. The Blood Refining Scripture is weaker in this respect, with only about 50% of the power of other ordinary body-refining techniques. In return, it brings purer blood energy, faster self-healing, and a stronger foundation. Other body-refining techniques require a large amount of medicinal resources to repair injuries and ailments caused by the intensity of the body-refining process before cultivation can continue.

Unlike other body-refining techniques, the "Blood Refining Scripture" is designed to repair injuries and accelerate self-healing. Therefore, its improvement in strength and physical body is only half that of other body-refining techniques. The advantage is that it requires less resources to cultivate, and you can make progress simply by practicing every day.

Chen Guang couldn't say whether it was good or bad, but he was at least certain that the "Blood Pan Classic" was quite suitable for him at the moment.

No extra resources are needed, and it won't harm your health, so you can definitely practice both at the same time. Anyway, the most efficient time to cultivate the "Purple Qi Morning Brightness Technique" is during the time it takes to drink a cup of tea right after sunrise every morning. It doesn't matter if you cultivate less at other times. I'm sure I can pass this small test, which is the three-year small test a year from now. So what I need to consider is the next three-year small test four years from now.

Four years is enough time for me to cultivate to the second level of Qi Refining.

What do you rely on for cultivation in the early stages of Qi Refining?

First, the environment is excellent. Located at the foot of Ziling Peak, the area is rich in spiritual energy, with lush green mountains and clear waters, which is clearly sufficient.

Second, it provides sufficient nutrition, which can be achieved simply by consuming Lingmi (a type of rice).

Third, eliminate worldly desires. As long as the first two conditions are met and one does not indulge in worldly things, there is naturally no need to worry about this.

Fourth, it eliminates hidden health problems and prevents illnesses. As a farmer, I am safe as long as I don't leave Ziling Peak. In addition, I have the "Blood Refining Scripture". The main function of the "Blood Refining Scripture" is to nourish the body and repair hidden health problems. Although I only have the first volume, it is enough for me to cultivate until I reach the Qi Refining Perfection stage.

In an instant, the distance between him and the second level of Qi Refining was reduced to just time.

"Should we collect the other blood-shou-wu as well?" Chen Guang pondered.

Another characteristic of the white light cluster is that as long as the spiritual plant it represents is not picked, the light cluster can continue to exist, unless the corresponding spiritual plant withers or is picked by someone. Even so, the white light cluster itself can remain in place for nine days.

What Chen Guang was concerned about was whether the (inferior) label he received when collecting the "Blood Scripture" would affect the quality of the final reward.

"Although I can already guess that only spiritual plants that I have personally planted and matured will yield light orbs, I still need to pay attention to whether this is the case in the future. As for the Blood He Shou Wu, it can still grow in the ground for several more years, so I'll leave it for now. After this year, things will get better and better for me. There might be a chance to get some fresh blood from demonic beasts to improve the quality of the Blood He Shou Wu. If the light orb rewards are linked to quality, I'll have to work even harder to cultivate my spiritual fields in the future."

Chen Guang looked at the piece of blood-red he shou wu in his hand and couldn't help but smile.

Tomorrow I'll cook a pot of spirit rice and black porridge to drink. Abundant blood and energy will be very beneficial for cultivating the Blood Scripture.
