Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 150 Daoist Rhyme and Daoist Meaning
"The war of reclamation is extremely dangerous. We must act cautiously and not be greedy for quick success. Otherwise, if any problems arise, we will suffer losses."

Zhang Yan spoke seriously to the two of them.

“Of course.” Upon hearing Zhang Yan’s words, both Lei Wanbao and Senior Sister Jia immediately nodded. Both Lei Wanbao and Zhang Yan were people of extremely high status.

There is absolutely no need to take the risk.

Although Senior Sister Jia's status was ordinary.

but……

Her potential has been exhausted.

Without some extraordinary opportunity, she would never have been able to achieve the Golden Core.

It is precisely because of this.

Therefore, Senior Sister Jia had a very balanced and peaceful mindset, without any hostility.

Sigh, I'm just drifting through life.

As long as I'm lazy enough, I won't have any worries...

It can only be said that Senior Sister Jia has no more concerns about the fierce competition in the cultivation world.

Thus, the three-person "slacking off squad" was formed.

however.

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Although Zhang Yan repeatedly said he should keep a low profile, the reality was that he couldn't keep a low profile at all.

Just as a wealthy person never knows how to pretend to be poor, the powerful Zhang Yan also has no idea how to truly keep a low profile.

He thought that being cautious meant not provoking demonic beasts at the Golden Core stage, but demonic beasts at the late Foundation Establishment stage were within the scope of what he could provoke.

However in reality.

The entire Qingheng Sect doesn't have many teams that can truly deal with late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. Some teams can barely handle late-stage Foundation Establishment demonic beasts.

But certain conditions are required.

For example, attribute advantages and disadvantages.

For example, the team members must cooperate perfectly, and some even need to form a formation.

However, this was not an issue for Zhang Yan's team.

Once they encounter them, even late-stage Foundation Establishment level demonic beasts have virtually no chance of escape.

think carefully.

In their team, the weakest fighter was none other than Senior Sister Jia, who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

The strongest is Zhang Yan, who is in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

In this way...

Three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators dealing with a late-stage Foundation Establishment demon beast is far too easy; there's simply no difficulty whatsoever.

Therefore, Zhang Yan and his team had already made a name for themselves on the front lines in just a few months.

After slaying another giant crocodile at the late Foundation Establishment stage, their team was given a chance to rest.

Lei Wanbao went to show off his achievements to his great-grandfather Lei Kunhai, while Senior Sister Jia went to exchange items. Zhang Yan, having nothing to do, stayed at the base and found Zhuge Wan, wanting to consult her about some things.

"I've met Master."

Upon meeting Zhuge Wan, Zhang Yan greeted her with a respectful expression.

"You're here? Is there something you need?"

Zhuge Wan looked at Zhang Yan with a smile and asked.

Regarding Zhang Yan.

Zhuge Wan's feelings were also very complicated. The reason she took Zhang Yan as her disciple was simply because she felt that he had good comprehension.

If he were only an outer disciple, it would be a real waste of such good comprehension.

Therefore, the hand was for the inner disciples.

However, from that time on, every time she met this inner disciple, he would give her a huge surprise.

This indicates that the Wood Element Technique has been perfected.

To become a true disciple.

Then comes the completion of the foundational work for the thirty-six spells.

She can only say that life is unpredictable, and that she has grown step by step to her current state.

"It is like this, disciple would like to ask, after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in magic, in order to become a Golden Core cultivator, is it necessary to master all supernatural abilities to perfection?"

Zhang Yan looked puzzled and asked Zhuge Wan.

"That's right. After the foundation of magic is established, magic will transform into supernatural powers. When you have mastered all the supernatural powers, after you achieve the Golden Core, these supernatural powers will transform into Dao rhymes. After you achieve the Golden Core, if you have mastered all the Dao rhymes, then you will achieve the Nascent Soul. The Dao rhymes will then transform into Dao intent. As for what Dao intent will become as it rises further, I don't know."

Zhuge Wan smiled when she heard Zhang Yan's words and spoke to him.

"I see."

Upon hearing Zhuge Wan's words, Zhang Yan nodded slightly.

Supernatural powers, Daoist charm, Daoist intent.

Each one is extremely difficult.

And no wonder that magic-based foundation building is more powerful than other methods.

Think about it too.

As long as you have enough comprehension, you can continuously comprehend your supernatural powers and transform them into Daoist principles and Daoist meanings.

The rest, whether it's foundation building with magical artifacts, foundation building with elixirs, or foundation building with talismans, often require extremely powerful external aids.

however.

Those powerful external objects were all made of precious materials.

For example, a cultivator who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage of a spiritual artifact often needs a large amount of meteorite iron essence to become a Golden Core cultivator.

However, throughout history, so many Foundation Establishment cultivators with spiritual artifacts have needed meteorite iron essence, but there is only so much meteorite iron essence in the world. It is becoming less and less with use, and eventually it will be exhausted. Those Foundation Establishment cultivators with spiritual artifacts have no choice but to switch to spirit iron essence.

Although it is still possible to achieve the Golden Elixir.

However, the meanings represented by meteorite iron essence and spirit iron essence are different.

This is why spell-based foundation building is becoming increasingly powerful, while other foundation building methods are gradually weakening. If possible, no one would want to use other foundation building methods.

……

"So that's how it is. Does that mean I need to perfect all thirty-six of my supernatural abilities?" Zhang Yan suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Being too much of a genius isn't necessarily a good thing.

Others only need to comprehend two or three supernatural powers.

And he.

The quantity was more than ten times that of others.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

As if she had seen through Zhang Yan's thoughts, Zhuge Wan smiled gently and said, "You don't need to worry so much. You don't need to fully comprehend your thirty-six supernatural abilities to achieve the Golden Core stage."

"Actually, as long as you reach perfection in just one supernatural power, you can achieve the Golden Core stage." Zhuge Wan said to Zhang Yan with a smile, "It would be great if you could cultivate all your supernatural powers to perfection."

But if you can't do that, it doesn't matter. As long as you achieve perfection in one of your supernatural powers, you can achieve the Golden Core.

"It's just that our strength will be a bit weaker then."

Zhuge Wan answered Zhang Yan's questions carefully.

"I see."

Upon hearing Zhuge Wan's words, Zhang Yan understood.

The Golden Elixir of Divine Power is the same as the Foundation Building of Magical Arts.

As long as one of the supernatural powers meets the requirements, that's enough.

It is not necessary to meet all the requirements for supernatural powers, which does reduce the difficulty considerably.

However, at this moment, another idea suddenly popped into Zhang Yan's mind, and he continued to ask Zhuge Wan, "Then, Master, if I continue to cultivate a spell to perfection after I reach the Foundation Establishment stage, will my spell also become a supernatural power, or even directly become a Daoist essence when I achieve the Golden Core stage?"

Zhang Yan asked Zhuge Wan with some anticipation.

Zhuge Wan: "???"

She paused for a moment upon hearing Zhang Yan's words.

Several question marks appeared above my head.

The reason she raised those question marks wasn't because she had a problem, but because she felt there was something wrong with Zhang Yan.

Who would be so kind as to practice magic after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage?
Even those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage in magic usually focus on consolidating and comprehending their own supernatural abilities after achieving this stage. Who would continue to cultivate magic?

Even if it is indeed necessary to use magic.

It also won't take much effort to perfect this spell.

Because it makes no sense at all.

So Zhuge Wan could only smile wryly at Zhang Yan's words and then said, "I have never thought about the question you asked, but since no one has done it before, it probably won't work."

Zhuge Wan gently shook her head and explained to Zhang Yan, "That should be it."

Zhang Yan nodded slightly; he understood what Zhuge Wan meant.

This world is full of geniuses. If one cultivates magic to perfection after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one can obtain supernatural powers or Daoist essence.

It's absolutely impossible that no one has ever tried it.

If it were truly possible, it would have been passed down long ago.

It's impossible that no information has been passed down at all.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and gave up his unrealistic ideas. For him, the most important thing was to comprehend his supernatural powers to perfection.

To fully master all thirty-six supernatural abilities would be a considerable undertaking, but fortunately, his cultivation level is currently relatively low, only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

So there's still plenty of time.

Moreover, putting aside other things.

His wood-based magical abilities are nearing perfection.

With just a little opportunity, one can reach perfection. In that case, the remaining supernatural powers would only be... a mere thirty-five.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan also felt a slight toothache.

too difficult.

It's really too difficult.

I want to become a Golden Core cultivator with thirty-six different Daoist principles.

It's really too difficult.

For a normal person, there is absolutely no possibility of that.

Fortunately, Zhang Yan is not a normal person.

He's a cheat!
"It seems we'll need a lot more magical artifacts," Zhang Yan thought to himself.

Previously, he was just an apprentice in the Qi Refining stage.

Therefore, I don't have many thoughts about magical artifacts.

One reason is that most of the magical artifacts come with supernatural abilities, which don't directly help him during his Qi Refining stage.

Of course, besides that, the most important reason is that magical artifacts are too expensive.

It's simply not something an ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivator could afford to exchange in large quantities.

Moreover, for a Qi Refining cultivator to exchange for a large number of magical artifacts is, by all accounts, a suicidal act.

Therefore, he hardly exchanged any spiritual artifacts at that time.

But it is different now.

As things stand now.

Zhang Yan's status and position have been elevated.

And most importantly, he's rich now!

Therefore, he can now exchange for magical artifacts without any restraint.

Moreover, after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Zhang Yan felt that he might need to adjust his future path.

During his Qi Refining stage, Zhang Yan was a large landowner and a Spirit Value Master.

But after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he felt he could change his identity. For example… a weapon refiner!

This identity is quite good.

You can come into contact with a lot of magical artifacts.

Although the newly created spiritual artifacts do not have the inscriptions given by cultivators, he can exchange the old for the new!

He can repair magical artifacts!

Only with a large number of magical artifacts and spiritual weapons can Zhang Yan quickly raise his supernatural powers to the highest level.

But it's a pity.

Unlike the Qi Refining stage, where he could learn from any magical artifact, his supernatural abilities are now fixed after the Foundation Establishment stage.

Therefore, there are requirements for magical artifacts.

Only the right magical artifact will have the best effect on him.

Fortunately, he had mastered the Five Elements Spiritual Arts.

Therefore, even if it cannot directly help him comprehend supernatural powers, it can still help him understand supernatural powers of other attributes.

Only in this way can the Five Elements Spiritual Arts truly play their role; otherwise, even if the Five Elements Spiritual Arts can simulate other supernatural powers, it will be ineffective.

However, if one has no understanding of other supernatural powers, it is impossible to simulate them.

Or rather, it can only simulate a vague, ambiguous effect.

Therefore, Zhang Yan felt more and more that the supernatural power of the Five Elements Spiritual Technique was truly tailor-made for him.

The Taiyi Yantian Record is also included.

I reckon only Zhang Yan could play this skillfully.

The others are simply not up to the task.

"To cultivate into a Golden Core, one needs to perfect all supernatural abilities. Therefore, I need to speed up the planning process."

……

After saying goodbye to Zhuge Wan.

Zhang Yan returned to his temporary post.

Although it's a temporary base, it has everything you need.

It even includes markets and places for exchanging and trading.

Because when the Qingheng Sect was reclaiming the wilderness, they were extremely generous to all cultivators, as long as you killed the demon beast yourself.

Then you can take them all with you.

There's no need to give the Qingheng Sect a single penny.

However, if you conduct your transactions within the designated area, I'm sorry, but you'll have to pay a stall fee.

Even so.

However, many people still choose to trade in the markets set up by the Qingheng Sect.

The reason is also very simple.

Although I paid the stall fee, it's safe here!

Moreover, there were quite a few people coming to collect their goods.

Compared to that, the booth fees paid are really nothing.

……

Zhang Yan also had nothing to do.

They strolled around this temporary market street.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this is a temporary trading street.

But it really has everything.

It could even be said that it has a more complete range of trades than Qingheng Market.

after all.

Unlike Qingheng Market, this temporary market is located in the very center of the Tianmu Mountains, at the forefront of the pioneering battlefield.

Therefore, there is a lot of material here.

All kinds of materials.

Some materials are suitable for crafting weapons, while others are suitable for alchemy.

Other materials are suitable for making talismans.

It can be said that this is a paradise for all professions.

Because the materials are cheap enough here.

but!

The finished product is very expensive.

Zhang Yan saw a lot of cheap materials and packed them all up.

It’s too cheap.

That's incredibly cheap.

When Zhang Yan made deals with them, he even had the illusion that he was making money.

"It looks like I could also get some stuff to sell."

Zhang Yan thought to himself, "This place is simply a paradise for professionals!"
