Ordinary person: What to do with unused treasures? (On Zhuanzhuan)

Chapter 117 The People Who Had Problems with Two Cultivation Techniques

Twenty years later, the door to the quiet room suddenly opened wide, and Qin Fang walked out.

Qin Fang doesn't look much different from twenty years ago, except for a few more traces of vicissitude in his eyes; his appearance has basically not changed.

At this moment, Qin Fang's cultivation has reached the peak of the early stage of Core Formation, and he is only one step away from breaking through to the middle stage of Core Formation.

However, it is precisely this one step that is the most difficult thing on the path of cultivation.

"That's strange indeed—"

"Didn't you say in your message that you would be in seclusion for at least forty years?"

"How come he's emerged from seclusion in just twenty years?"

A woman's voice rang out, her voice preceding her arrival.

Then, Nangong Wan, dressed in a light green palace gown, gracefully descended from mid-air.

"There was a small mishap—"

"What's wrong with you?"

Qin Fang had naturally noticed Nangong Wan's presence long ago.

But when he actually saw Nangong Wan, he couldn't help but show some surprise.

"Ahem~ This is due to a problem with the technique."

"For some reason, this situation inexplicably occurred after I broke through to the mid-stage of Core Formation."

"Logically speaking, this situation should not occur for several more years —"

"Little girl" Nangong Wan was a little embarrassed.

Calling her a "young girl" might not be quite accurate, but she is certainly incredibly young! At least she looks like she's only in her early teens.

Nangong Wan's practice of the Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique occasionally causes a certain degree of "rejuvenation." Although she doesn't return to her childhood appearance, it's still quite absurd.

Moreover, due to the nature of her cultivation technique, Nangong Wan's rejuvenation would cause even her cultivation level to decline considerably.

For example, Nangong Wan's cultivation level is clearly only around the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining stage!

"Your technique is truly extraordinary."

"Speaking of which, the reason I emerged from seclusion after only twenty years is also related to a cultivation technique I practiced."

Qin Fang didn't ask any further questions.

The Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique is very famous! As a man, even if I obtained this technique, I would not be able to cultivate it.

Qin Fang guessed that every time this "innate" cultivation technique exhibited unusual behavior, it was an early sign that Nangong Wan's cultivation was making great progress.

Perhaps Nangong Wan was able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage even without much opportunity—the role played by the Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique was probably crucial.

Don't say things like Nangong Wan's spiritual root is a heavenly spiritual root. Cultivators who can advance to the Nascent Soul stage all have their own trump cards, so whose spiritual root aptitude can be bad?

Han Li — except for him.

In the cultivation world of Tiannan alone, there are countless Heavenly Spiritual Roots throughout history, but the vast majority of them, even with their painstaking efforts, are only cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

Once a cultivator breaks through the bottleneck of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, a cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root has almost no advantage over a cultivator with five Spiritual Roots.

"You also practice a cultivation technique?"

"What's the problem? Although I'm only a Qi Refining cultivator now, I successfully broke through to the late Core Formation stage some time ago."

"Perhaps I can clear things up for you!"

Nangong Wan spoke.

"You—you've broken through to the late stage?!"

Qin Fang was genuinely surprised this time.

"That's right. I've been cultivating for so many years, and I've never received so many pills to aid my cultivation before."

"Furthermore, after so many years of seclusion, isn't it perfectly normal for his cultivation to advance to the late Core Formation stage?"

Nangong Wan's face was already rosy and tender, and with those innocent and naive questions, Qin Fang felt utterly ashamed.

Not a girl~

A mere hundred demon cores—even if they could be used to refine a considerable number of pills, this is still a bit of an exaggeration!

No wonder your reincarnation technique is having problems —

Is this normal?

"Isn't that abnormal?"

"This is not normal!"

"Something's not right!"

"I've consumed just as many pills as you, but I'm only at the peak of the early Core Formation stage; I haven't even broken through to the middle stage yet—"

"Oh? You've also consumed a hundred bottles of pills?"

"A hundred bottles of pills—don't tell me! You actually refined a hundred bottles of those demon cores?!"

"That's right, most of the pill recipes collected from the Chaotic Star Sea only require a little adjustment and are very easy to refine."

"You've never failed?"

"You actually failed at alchemy?!"

"no----"

Qin Fang discovered something terrifying.

Judging from Nangong Wan's appearance, she seems to have never failed in alchemy even once! She has refined all of the more than one hundred demon cores into pills.

But this—

Nangong Wan!

You definitely haven't forgotten your past life memories!

Qin unconsciously took a few steps back.

This is terrifying; no one can refine pills without failing.

Yes, I admit that compared to the alchemy of spiritual herbs in Tiannan, the pill formulas of Luanxinghai are indeed slightly simpler.

But if you go out and ask around, even the Star Palace elders who specialize in alchemy cannot guarantee a success rate of over 60%.

I originally thought that someone as extravagant as myself, an alchemist, had already elevated the art of alchemy to an unparalleled level.

But who would have thought—there was actually a master among them?!

How did Nangong Wan acquire the Su Nu Reincarnation Skill? It's just the skill of "Gan Ru Shuang"!

Although Nangong Wan cannot be definitively considered the reincarnation of Gan Rushuang, but—

You definitely haven't forgotten!

Who would do that?!

"Have you ever practiced alchemy before?"

"No, I rarely even took any pills before I formed my core. You know I have a Heavenly Spiritual Root!"

"You've never failed at refining pills using the inner core of a fifth-tier demon beast?"

"How many times do you want to ask!"

"Wait a minute—that doesn't make sense either. Logically speaking, a pill made from the inner core of a level-five demon beast should barely be enough to support a cultivator at the mid-stage of Core Formation. How could you possibly break through to the late stage using such a pill?"

"I also find this a bit strange—"

"You don't know either?"

"I don't know! Didn't I tell you before I went into seclusion? My goal was only the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation at most. At that time, I also thought that the efficacy of those pills would decrease a lot after reaching the mid-stage."

Qin Fang remained silent.

Forget it~ I can't explain this to people with such high status, I won't ask anymore!

Destroy it, I'm tired!

In any case, unless Nangong Wan breaks through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, she won't be of much help to him in the short term.

Don't be fooled by Qin Fang's current peak early stage Core Formation; he may not be able to defeat a late stage Core Formation cultivator.

Just because he can't win doesn't mean Qin Fang is at the mercy of others! At least he can ensure his own safety.

Therefore, one can only imagine how much help Nangong Wan, who is in the late stage of Core Formation, could provide to him! Not to mention—Nangong Wan is only at the Qi Refining stage now, so what use could she be?

"What's wrong with your cultivation technique? Tell me quickly!"

Nangong Wan brought it up again.

Both of them were Core Formation cultivators, so it was perfectly normal for them to verify each other's cultivation practices.

Not to mention the two of them, even other Core Formation cultivators would gather three or five friends for a banquet after each seclusion.

The banquet was secondary; the main purpose was to exchange cultivation experiences with others!

"It's not my main cultivation technique!"

"I have cultivated a special technique to enhance my spiritual awareness —"

"Originally, I thought I didn't have much talent in this path, so even though I had cultivated it for many years, I didn't place it in a very important position."

"Until about a year ago, I seemed to have the illusion that I was about to break through the shackles of my cultivation technique."

"As that feeling grew stronger, I had no choice but to leave seclusion—"

Qin Fang explained.

"Isn't this a good thing? Why do you look so gloomy?!"

Nangong Wan was speechless.

She initially thought something had happened when she saw Qin Fang's distressed expression, but it turned out he was just about to break through in his cultivation technique and had no choice but to come out of seclusion.

As for why she needed to leave seclusion to break through her cultivation technique, Nangong Wan didn't care at all.

Many cultivation techniques require auxiliary materials to assist in practice. Without these materials, let alone achieving a breakthrough, simply preventing the technique from regressing would be a stroke of luck.

"That's not what I'm worried about—"

Qin Fang scratched his cheek.

His worry was that he didn't have enough pills to improve his cultivation. He should have gone out to sea again in a few years to hunt for demon cores and refine pills again.

But now the Great Evolution Technique—

The cultivation technique that Qin Fang was about to break through with was the Great Evolution Technique, which he obtained from Senior Brother Lin through a transaction.

Ever since he acquired this technique, Qin Fang realized that he did not have much talent in cultivating the Great Evolution Technique!

You should know————

Han Li successfully cultivated the third level of the Great Evolution Technique even before he formed his core.

And what about Qin Fang?!

Even though he had broken through to the early stage of Core Formation many years ago, he was still stuck at the second level of the Great Evolution Technique!

Qin Fang had focused most of his energy on the Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridians Technique, and while he wouldn't say he completely stopped cultivating the Great Evolution Technique, he certainly didn't care much about it.

There's no way around it—with shortcuts available, Qin Fang simply lacks the motivation to work hard.

In his view, the remaining issues of the Great Evolution Technique could be resolved by returning to Tiannan and then going to the far west to find the remnant soul of the Great Evolution God.

You don't even need to get too close to the Great Evolution Divine Lord; you can simply trade his entire lifetime of Great Evolution Technique cultivation experience.

That's a one-time solution that solves everything!

It was because of this thought that Qin Fang didn't pay much attention to the Great Evolution Technique.

But Qin Fang seemed to have forgotten that even if he didn't have a high talent for cultivating the Great Evolution Technique, he was at least capable of cultivating it! The reason he was not as good as Han Li was not because his talent was too poor; at most, he was just average.

If one diligently cultivates, it's unlikely to catch up with Han Li's cultivation speed, but one won't fall too far behind.

What's more! Qin Fang inherited Senior Brother Lin's Great Evolution Technique, along with Senior Brother Lin's insights into the Great Evolution Technique.

At the beginning, perhaps because he hadn't fully absorbed the knowledge, Qin Fang's understanding of the Great Evolution Technique wasn't very profound.

But as time went by, Qin Fang had completely digested everything that Senior Brother Lin had said about the Great Evolution Technique!

Furthermore, having broken through to the Core Formation stage, his divine soul had become much stronger, and his understanding of divine sense had long surpassed that of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, Senior Brother Lin.

And—the opening of the fourth acupoint of Qin Fang's Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridian Technique kept him on edge for a period of time! Once he realized he was about to fall asleep, he would be awakened by the Great Evolution Technique.

This also has some inexplicable benefits for the cultivation of the Great Evolution Technique.

Furthermore! Senior Brother Lin has been cultivating the Great Evolution Technique for many years and is already close to the peak of the second level of the Great Evolution Technique. If he were not just one step away from breaking through, he would not have had the idea of ​​contacting his old friends from the Thousand Bamboo Sect.

Therefore, the Great Evolution Technique that Qin Fang obtained was at the second level from the very beginning!

After so many years, even though Qin Fang didn't work very hard, he gradually found the opportunity to break through to the third level!

"The Third Level of the Great Evolution Technique —"

"Why is it that things are different when it comes to me?"

"That sudden impulse perfectly matches all the signs of 'refining the heart in the mortal world'!"

"But----"

"Shouldn't that be a necessary experience for breaking through to the fourth level after breaking through the third level of the Great Evolution Technique?"

"Why is this increasingly intense spiritual feeling arising just as I'm about to break through to the third level?!"

Something must have happened to me—otherwise, this wouldn't be happening!

Qin Fang lowered his head and pondered alone, repeatedly shouting "Impossible!" in his heart.

"What's troubling you like this?"

"Now that you've reached the Core Formation stage, you have ample time to sort everything out —"

Seeing Qin Fang frowning and pursing his lips, Nangong Wan had no choice but to speak.

"I----"

No! I'm not worried about the pills this time, I'm just wondering! These two emotions—well, they seem to be expressed quite similarly.

"Forget it~ There's no point in arguing with a genius like you!"

"I'm going out for a bit—"

Qin Fang waved his hand and headed directly towards the entrance of the cave.

He kept muttering something as he walked, but Nangong Wan couldn't hear it very clearly.

It seems to be:

What kind of technique is it? — What kind of strange things keep happening? —

Have many of his martial arts techniques encountered unexpected problems?!

Nangong Wan didn't understand.
