Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 123 The progress of the talent [Blazing Sun Blood Transfer] and the Great Sun Technique (Please subscribe)
During dinner, Zhou Ling chatted with his parents while eating, learning about the distillery.

The distillery's business is getting better and better. In addition to Yuanhu helping out in the shop, they have also hired two winemakers that their mother knew before.

One is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and the other is at the fifth level of Qi Refining; both are complex spirit wines.

Although my parents are very busy every day, they earn more spirit stones than before, so they not only don't feel tired, but are full of energy.

Of course, having learned from the Li family's previous experience, Li Ru became much more cautious in managing the winery. Apart from the He family's restaurants, she did not seek cooperation with any other restaurants.

As for some small restaurants, the quantity is small, and they mainly purchase ordinary spirit wine, so there is no big problem.

In addition, Zhou Ling is now a member of the Heavenly Crafts Guard, which means he has a powerful backer, so ordinary people don't dare to cause him trouble!

"Oh, the day before yesterday I introduced Aunt Xu to Ling'er's niece and then to Hu Zi."

"But to my surprise, the other party didn't think much of Tiger."

"Tiger has been listless all day."

Li Ru smiled and put a big chicken leg on Zhou Ling's plate.

"Tiger is clever and sensible. He's currently at the third level of Qi Refining, which isn't bad. There's nothing wrong with him."

"They're still young, there's no need to rush this!"

Zhou Shan took a big gulp of the spirit wine and laughed.

"I think so too. It should be much easier for him once he has spirit stones in his possession!"

Li Ru nodded.

Zhou Ling felt a pang of anxiety. If he failed to get into one of the six major academies, wouldn't he end up like Hu Zi?

They have to go on blind dates when they are around ten years old.

I suddenly felt immense pressure.

After finishing my meal, I quickly returned to my room.

He took out the golden silk robe that He Zijian had given him today.

[You are observing the Golden Silk Robe, Intermediate Observation +1]

[You are analyzing the Golden Silk Robe, Intermediate Analysis +1]

Soon, through [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis], he obtained specific information about the robe and the best choice for drawing the inscription.

"This golden silk robe is made primarily from gold essence stone and black silkworm silk."

"Its greatest strengths are its defensive capabilities and agility."

Zhou Ling murmured.

Moreover, He Zijian's requirements were primarily defensive, while also considering spirit gathering and speed.

In this case, the only option is to refine a composite inscription.

Composite inscription is still a great challenge for him at present.

The most difficult part is connecting the inscription nodes between inscriptions, which is a completely different concept from connecting nodes within inscriptions.

After all, the two inscriptions have different attributes and structures, and the nodes need extremely fine and stable inscription support to connect them properly.

At the same time, it is necessary to absorb a sufficient amount of spiritual energy.

Generally, one needs to have a cultivation level of eight or nine in Qi Refining to successfully draw it.

Zhou Ling sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, pondering the "Complete Collection of First-Order Inscriptions" in his mind.

Based on the intermediate analysis, find suitable inscriptions to form a composite inscription.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Ling felt a bit dizzy and rubbed his forehead.

According to the analysis, there are two suitable composite inscriptions in the complete collection of first-order inscriptions.

The Golden Wood Double Yuan Seal and the Golden Armor Three Lights Seal.

However, these two composite inscriptions are composed of two inscriptions with twenty-six characters each, and three inscriptions with twenty-five characters each.

Given his current level of cultivation, it would be very difficult and not suitable.

There weren't any other suitable options.

Zhou Ling thought about finding two inscriptions with twenty-two or twenty-three characters to match.

However, this combination requires designing the inscription nodes yourself, which is quite demanding.

Although the "Complete Guide to First-Order Inscriptions" also introduces the methods for connecting and drawing inscription nodes with different attributes.

But we still need to try many things.

"Forget it, it's too much of a waste of time to search and try things on my own. I'll just find some time to ask Steward Qin!"

Zhou Ling murmured.

After all, Steward Qin is knowledgeable and experienced, and should have various methods for matching different inscriptions.

Then, after sitting cross-legged and meditating for a while to regain some consciousness, he took out the jade slip containing the "Three Yang Technique" manual.

He channeled his divine sense into it and began to watch.

Soon, the second level of the Great Yang Technique appeared in his mind.

Although the manual contains only about a thousand characters, it is extremely detailed and includes numerous annotations.

Only after he had completely memorized the cultivation technique did he withdraw his consciousness from the jade slip.

His brows furrowed slightly, even though the power of the second level of the Great Sun Technique far surpassed that of the first level.

However, the difficulty of cultivation also increases exponentially.

It requires the essence and blood of a second-tier fire-attribute demon beast to be fused with a spiritual medicine and refined into a medicinal bath aid.

Otherwise, progress will be slow, and it is easy to damage the meridians.

However, with [physical evolution], Zhou Ling felt that it shouldn't have too much of an impact.

He pondered the technique repeatedly in his mind, and after thinking about some parts he couldn't quite grasp, he gradually understood them with the help of the "the more setbacks, the stronger he became" technique.

Only when the rooster crowed outside did Zhou Ling open his eyes with a look of joy, "It's done!"

He thought for a moment and opened the properties panel.

It was discovered that the Great Yang Technique, which had already reached its peak, had become the "Three Yang Technique" beginner level 5/100.

"It seems like everything has to start all over again!"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

Although he had been cultivating all night, he was not sleepy at all.

The sky outside was hazy and indistinct.

Zhou Ling immediately got out of bed, opened the door, and found that her parents' room was still closed.

After taking a sip of water, he went to the courtyard.

A gentle breeze was blowing on an April morning.

Zhou Ling immediately began practicing the "Three Yang Fist" technique he had just mastered.

The Great Yang Technique is a martial art that uses fists as a form of training. During the practice of fists, one's blood and energy surge, which is also a form of cultivation.

At the beginning, Zhou Ling's punches were somewhat stiff, and each move of the Great Yang Fist was precise and methodical.

It's not at all on the same level as the Great Yang Fist he used to practice.

[You are currently practicing the Great Yang Fist. Your physique has evolved by +1, your blood energy by +2, and your constitution by +2.]

[You are currently practicing the Great Yang Fist. Your innate talent +1, Great Yang Fist proficiency +2]

After practicing continuously for nearly an hour, his punches became smoother as dawn broke.

Within his body's body-refining meridians, a surge of heat seemed to be flowing, causing the air to hiss with every punch he threw.

It was as if a scorching, powerful energy was surging within.

Finally, with a loud bang, a punch unleashed a powerful gust of wind, shattering several wine jars in the corner, scattering fragments all over the ground.

Zhou Ling then felt that the blood and qi in his body were completely exhausted.

His bones and muscles were cracking and popping.

hiss!
At this moment, Zhou Ling's entire body was crimson, as if flames were rising within him, his muscles twitching, and he was drenched in sweat.

He felt weak all over, and his hands and feet felt like they were about to cramp.

"Why is the consumption of energy for the second level of the Great Yang Fist so high?" Zhou Ling wondered to himself.

Because of the solid foundation laid by the original Dayang Fist.

At first, he was able to withstand it. After all, he was already at the late stage of body refinement. Although the consumption was great, he was still able to handle it with ease.

However, after half an hour, the intensity of his exertion increased dramatically, with each punch seemingly draining his life force. But this intense consumption also allowed his life force to be continuously refined and strengthened.

[Growth Talent, Blazing Sun Blood Transfusion: Rapidly stimulates the body's essence and blood, generating yang energy within the blood to temper the power of heaven and earth, nourish the physical body, and amplify attack power. Requirement: Cultivate the "Three Yang Technique" ten times.]

"The new talent, [Blazing Sun Blood Transfer], once activated, can unleash the Sun's rays to nourish the body and amplify attack power!"

Seeing the new talent notification, Zhou Ling couldn't help but beam with joy.

Looking at the attribute panel again, the "Three Yang Technique" beginner level is 15/100.

After more than an hour of practice, the Three Yang Technique has increased by 10 levels of proficiency.

That's a pretty good speed!
Zhou Ling looked satisfied, becoming increasingly interested in the Great Yang Fist.

With the talents of [Physical Evolution] and [Born with Talent], he doesn't need to rely on medicinal baths; the effects of his cultivation are already immediate.

If you use a medicinal bath, the effect will definitely be better.

Moreover, a new talent, [Blazing Sun Blood Transfer], has now been formed, which can amplify the physical body and the power of the Great Sun Fist.

"I wonder what surprising changes the Great Sun Fist will undergo after the [Blazing Sun Blood Transfer] is activated!"

Zhou Ling walked into the hall, poured a bowl of water, and drank it all in one gulp, thinking to himself.

A faint sense of anticipation stirred within me.

Body refinement was originally a cultivation habit developed after my physique couldn't keep up since childhood, but I acquired the [Physical Evolution] talent.

This also unintentionally gave him a physique far superior to that of his peers.

Now he has reached the late stage of body refinement, and the strength of his physical body alone is no less than that of a late-stage first-order demon beast.

However, aside from using the Great Yang Fist against Li Mu in the [Illusion Simulation], he rarely used it in other situations.

After all, given his current methods.

Whether dealing with demonic beasts or cultivators, this is his first choice.

It must be the Azure Gang Sword Technique, which can be used for ranged attacks, but only with the help of the [Sword Control] talent.

As his [Sword Control] talent continued to improve, he was able to launch attacks almost instantly, with an extremely fast attack speed.

Just like when I killed Jie Xiu last time, I might finish the battle with a single sword strike before the opponent even had a chance to react.

Furthermore, with the Fire罡 Sword in hand, which is quite powerful, this combination would be effective in launching a surprise attack on a Qi Refining cultivator.

It's very difficult for the opponent to stop it.

If one sword strike can't solve the problem, then strike a few more times.

After all, the range of the [Sword Control] has now reached ten zhang, which is a safe range for me.

Moreover, this kind of sword attack consumes less energy.

Secondly, there is the fire and thunder in the palm.

If you are relatively close to your opponent, then the best choice is the Palm Fire Thunder.

After all, the palm-shaped fire and lightning, which incorporates the Five Elements Spirit Flames, is powerful enough to shake a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

With the addition of beast flames, its power will be elevated to another level.

However, this type of attack consumes a lot of resources.

Suitable for a decisive battle.

Of course, once the fire and thunder in his palm are used, it will be the moment of final battle.

Danger could arise at any time.

And this improvement in body refinement is undoubtedly the final guarantee.

After all, his spiritual power cultivation was still a bit low.

Once the spiritual energy is exhausted, one can continue to fight by relying on body refinement cultivation.

Squeak!

At this moment, the wooden door to her parents' room opened, and Li Ru came out of the room and saw Zhou Ling sitting in the hall resting.

With a look of affection, she said, "Ling'er, you're up so early!"

"Mother, I had some insights while cultivating last night, so I got up to cultivate while I was still proficient!"

Zhou Ling replied.

“Cultivation should be done in moderation. Don’t be too impatient. The Demon Suppression Festival is in a few days. You and Xin’er can go for a stroll. Don’t just think about cultivation all day long!”

After giving Zhou Ling a few instructions, Li Ru washed her face, tied her apron, and headed towards the kitchen.

Everything at home is moving in a positive direction now, even though Li Ru is very busy every day.

But he was becoming more and more energetic, and his complexion was even rosier.

Zhou Ling nodded, thinking to himself that now that his father's cultivation of the second level of the Great Yang Technique was in place, his mother's cultivation method also needed to be implemented as soon as possible.

After all, her mother is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining and is already over thirty years old, so her cultivation speed will slow down.

If one cannot successfully establish a foundation before the age of sixty, then as one's blood and energy weaken, it will be even more difficult to establish a foundation later.

Similarly, Father must also reach the second stage of Body Refinement before he turns sixty, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to advance further in the future.

However, the Three Yang Technique is not yet suitable for my father to practice.

You must first achieve a certain level of success yourself and ensure there are no other problems before giving it to your father.

Anyway, my father doesn't go into the mountains anymore, so there's no danger.

Moreover, he is only at the seventh level of the first stage of body refinement, so he is not in a hurry to cultivate the "Three Yang Technique".

Then, feeling that his blood and energy wouldn't recover anytime soon, Zhou Ling went to the well, drew a bucket of well water, and took a cold shower.

After I changed my clothes, my mother had almost finished making breakfast.

After breakfast, the sun was already rising.

Zhou Ling then went to the Heavenly Crafts Bureau to inquire with Steward Qin about the selection of the inscription on the golden silk robe and the drawing of some key points.

A little over fifteen minutes later, he arrived at the Heavenly Crafts Bureau.

Upon arriving at Steward Qin's side hall, one sees Steward Qin, dressed in a black robe from the Heavenly Crafts Bureau, sitting on a futon, resting with his eyes closed.

Incense smoke curled from the incense burner beside him.

Zhou Ling straightened his robes, entered the room, bowed respectfully, and then directly stated his purpose.

Upon hearing this, Steward Qin was slightly surprised and said, "With your current cultivation level, refining a first-grade high-quality inscription would be quite difficult."

"However, the ability to condense spiritual flames is a significant advantage for you!"

“Steward, I’ve tried combining some inscriptions these past two days, but the results haven’t been ideal, so I’ve come to ask for your advice!” Zhou Ling said earnestly.

Deacon Qin's expression remained unchanged, but his eyebrows were slightly raised.

He's only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and he's already thinking about creating his own inscriptions?

Even he doesn't dare to try combining inscriptions much now.

After all, stability is very important for composite inscriptions.

Not two inscriptions can be combined arbitrarily.

After thinking for a moment, he coughed slightly and said, "It's very difficult to match the inscriptions yourself."

"I have some 'Detailed Explanation of Compound Inscriptions' here, you can take a look at it first."

"Once you fully understand it, it will greatly help you in refining composite inscriptions."

"Furthermore, based on the condition of this golden silk robe, I personally suggest that it should primarily use a metal-attribute defensive inscription, paired with a wood-attribute spirit-gathering inscription. Anything more would be a burden!"

Zhou Ling accepted the jade slip from Steward Qin, bowed in thanks, and then asked Steward Qin some questions about drawing the inscription nodes.

Deacon Qin patiently answered all his questions.

A few simple words suddenly enlightened Zhou Ling.

How should one apply brushstrokes and ink to blend different attributes between nodes and inscriptions in order to achieve a seamless and natural effect?

In addition to physical nodes, there are also virtual nodes, and so on.

Finally, Steward Qin told Zhou Ling meaningfully that there was no need to rush, and that he should proceed steadily and step by step in the path of inscription.

Moreover, since they are still young, they should pay more attention to building a solid foundation and not be frivolous or reckless because of temporary gains.

Zhou Ling also bowed sincerely to express his gratitude for Deacon Qin's guidance.

Only then did he leave the Tiangong Division.
