Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 234 New Talents [Six Transformations] and Fourth-Grade Qianyang True Fire
That evening, in the cultivation room, Zhou Ling sat cross-legged, cultivating the Six Revolutions Spirit Flame Technique.

He hoped that the Five Elements Spiritual Flame within his body, aided by the Six Revolutions Spiritual Flame Technique, would improve his cultivation level.

Within the Qi Sea, as the Six Revolutions Spirit Flame Technique was activated, the five spirit flames transformed into five streams of spirit flame light that rose fiercely.

After a cycle of compression, it surged violently, bursting forth with terrifying flames and streaks of light.

In an instant, Zhou Ling felt as if he had transformed into a world of flames.

Five different spiritual flames, like five fire dragons, circulated and flowed through his meridians.

Although it had been refined into his natal spirit flame, the sudden and violent increase in the flames, especially the simultaneous increase of five flames, still caused Zhou Ling to feel intense stinging pains within his meridians.

However, there is no way around this.

If the original five spiritual flames had grown in an orderly manner, it would not have had any adverse effects on him.

However, now that he is cultivating the Six Revolutions Spirit Flame Technique, his growth rate has greatly increased.

It was not within Zhou Ling's control.

Of course, with Zhou Ling's current physical cultivation level, he is able to withstand it.

This Six Revolutions Spirit Flame Technique isn't exactly a profound cultivation method.

Its main function is to compress and fuse spiritual flames through its own cultivation. After completing a compression cycle, the spiritual flames will suddenly increase in power.

However, there are also considerable risks involved in the process of rapid growth.

As long as you can endure it, you can complete one cycle of training.

Then, through continuous cultivation, the spiritual flame grows stronger and transforms through this constant compression and cycle.

This is the essence of the Six Revolutions Spirit Flame Technique.

After completing one cycle, Zhou Ling did not rest, but instead accelerated the operation of the Six Revolutions Spirit Flame Technique.

Because the Spirit Flame Assist Technique has many limitations, and its main target is one's own natal Spirit Flame, one must be extremely cautious when cultivating it.

After all, even if the spirit flame is refined into a natal spirit flame, its violent nature still remains.

They don't cultivate with the same patience as cultivators.

Given the current situation, Zhou Ling needs to secure a spot in the Heavenly Guard of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau to obtain more resources.

Therefore, no matter what, you must improve your cultivation level as quickly as possible in the coming period.

The goal is to reach the third level of Foundation Establishment and also to advance the Qianyang True Fire to the fourth rank.

That would be enough to elevate one's inscription level to a higher level.

[Growth Talent, Sixth Transformation: Able to manipulate spirit flames, inscriptions, etc., to achieve unexpected effects. Requirement: Perform ten different transformations.]

Whoosh!

As the Five Spirit Flames continued to compress and change within his body, a notification appeared on the system panel.

"A new talent, the Sixth Transformation!"

Zhou Ling opened his eyes, his expression momentarily stunned.

There haven't been any new talents for a while now.

This [Six Revolutions Transformation] is clearly a change brought about by practicing the Six Revolutions Spirit Flame Technique.

"What exactly is the situation with the sixth transformation?"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

According to the analysis displayed on the panel, it is possible to analyze and process Spirit Flame, Inscription, etc., to achieve the desired effect.

"But what kind of change is this?"

Zhou Ling was puzzled.

However, to clarify the specifics, the requirements must be met as soon as possible.

[Completed one Spirit Flame Compression Transformation, Sixth Transformation +1]

As Zhou Ling completed a sixth-stage Spirit Flame Technique cultivation, a notification appeared on the panel.

"That means we need to complete nine more cycles of change to meet the requirement!"

Zhou Ling opened her eyes and exhaled.

With his current physique, he can only circulate the Six Revolutions Spirit Flame Secret Technique three or four times a day.

That's all for today. We'll continue our cultivation tomorrow.

Feeling that his meridians had reached their limit for the day, Zhou Ling stopped cultivating.

Generally speaking, it is extremely difficult to withstand the sudden burst of a third-grade spiritual flame.

Moreover, five spiritual flames erupted simultaneously.

Afterwards, Zhou Ling took the elixir to nourish his meridians.

······.

Three days passed quickly.

On this day, Zhou Ling sat cross-legged in the cultivation room, a faint flame glow emanating from his body.

Inside his body, however, fierce flames surged.

The aura of the Five Spirit Flames increased once again.

[Completed one Spirit Flame Compression Transformation, Sixth Transformation +1]

[Cumulative number of compression changes: 10/10]

[Effect: Sixth transformation achieved, allowing conversion of Spirit Flame, Inscription, etc.]

"The [Sixth Transformation] talent has been achieved!"

Zhou Ling suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the prompt that appeared on the panel in front of him.

Although flames were raging inside him, he was completely oblivious to it.

What will happen with these six transformations?
Zhou Ling was quite looking forward to it.

He immediately activated the Six Revolutions Spirit Flame Secret Technique again to cultivate the Five Elements Spirit Flame.

As the Six Revolutions Spirit Flame Secret Technique was activated, the five spirit flames within the Qi Sea emitted five-colored flame light.

Like a five-colored rainbow, it is incredibly mysterious.

Zhou Ling was surrounded by five-colored light, making him appear extraordinary.

[You are currently circulating the Spirit Flame. Sixth Transformation +1, Five Elements Spirit Flame Shrinkage +1]

As the notification appeared on the panel, Zhou Ling felt the pressure of the spiritual flames within his body suddenly decrease.

My whole body felt relaxed.

His expression immediately turned inward, and a look of utter astonishment appeared on his face.

At this moment, the five spiritual flames seemed to shrink by one-tenth.

After he activated the Six-Turn Spirit Flame Technique, he felt much more relaxed.

"However, won't this affect the effectiveness of my cultivation?"

Zhou Ling frowned, thinking to himself.

He then continued to circulate the Six-Turn Spirit Flame Technique.

After an incense stick's time, Zhou Ling completed the Six-Turn Spirit Flame Technique, and the spiritual flame within his body surged once again.

[You are currently circulating the Spirit Flame. Sixth Transformation +1, Five Elements Spirit Flame Expansion +1]

Suddenly, Zhou Ling felt a flame, even more intense than before, rising up.

Caught off guard, Zhou Ling was in so much pain that he gritted his teeth as the intense burning sensation in his meridians made him grit his teeth.

The intense pain lasted for several breaths before subsiding.

"call!"

After calming down, Zhou Ling took a deep breath and felt the changes in the Five Elements Spirit Flame, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Between these two changes, the speed at which the Five Spirit Flames improve increased by about 20%."

"Moreover, the improvement of the spiritual flames also improves one's cultivation level. And this improvement is not 20%, but rather the sum of the five spiritual flames, reaching a doubling."

"This means that, thanks to this [Sixth Transformation] talent, the effect of my cultivation this time has doubled!"

Zhou Ling sensed the changes in the spiritual flames within his body and the effects of the changes in spiritual power, and roughly understood the function of this [Six Revolutions Transformation] talent.

This change is not without purpose, but rather it will be in a direction that benefits its own needs.

The size of Spirit Flame and Inscription can be reduced or enlarged.

Although the talent is only at a preliminary stage now, it is undoubtedly a very useful talent.

It can even be of great help when practicing martial arts.

For example, when one's spiritual power is compressed under the [Sixth Transformation], the speed of executing incantations will increase.

Efficiency can be increased by 10% within the same amount of training time.

Regarding the crafting of inscriptions, if the inscriptions could be miniaturized, would the consumption of spiritual energy or the difficulty of drawing them be reduced?

If that's the case, then you've made a fortune.

A ten percent increase or a ten percent decrease represents two completely different levels of difficulty. Zhou Ling pondered to himself.

He then took out spiritual paper, spiritual ink, and other tools for drawing inscriptions from his storage ring.

After placing them in place, immediately attempt to draw the inscription.

He chose a familiar second-tier fire attribute volcanic inscription.

As the spiritual energy fell onto the spiritual paper.

[You are drawing a volcanic inscription. Sixth-stage transformation +1, volcanic inscription shrinkage +1]

A prompt appears on the panel.

Suddenly, I felt a significant ease in putting pen to paper.

The difficulty of drawing the entire inscription has been significantly reduced.

Zhou Ling wrote with divine inspiration, and soon a volcanic inscription appeared on the paper.

[You are drawing a volcanic inscription. Sixth-stage transformation +1, volcanic inscription enlargement +1]

"Indeed, between the two changes, not only is the consumption reduced, but the effect of the drawn inscription is also increased by 10%."

"If this [Sixth Transformation] talent were upgraded to the second or third transformation, wouldn't the effect be astonishing!"

Zhou Ling's face was full of joy.

This new talent had an even more immediate effect than his cultivation of the Six-Turn Spirit Flame Technique.

This undoubtedly boosted his inscription level by 20%.

It should be understood that with his current level of inscription cultivation, it would be extremely difficult for him to advance further.

If one's cultivation level has not reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, or even higher, the chances of improving it with the help of other external forces are slim.

"With this [Sixth Transformation] talent, my chances of passing the Heavenly Guardian assessment have increased even more."

Zhou Ling pondered to himself.

He then activated the Five Elements Qianyang True Technique and began cultivating, wanting to see if this talent would have any effect on spiritual power.

······.

Ten days later.

[Completed one Spirit Flame Compression Transformation, Sixth Transformation +1]

[Cumulative number of compression changes: 100/100]

[Effect: The sixth transformation achieves the second transformation, doubling the power of transformations of Spirit Flame, Inscription, etc.]

Your Qianyang True Fire has reached the fourth rank.

Inside the cultivation room, Zhou Ling sat cross-legged on a futon, looking at the notification that appeared on the panel, a smile on his face, "The Qianyang True Fire has finally reached the fourth rank!"

After ten consecutive days of seclusion, by drawing inscriptions and cultivating the Six Revolutions Spirit Flame Technique, he raised his [Six Revolutions Transformation] talent to 100, increasing its effect by another 10%.

Moreover, the Qianyang True Fire has also reached the fourth grade.

This can be described as a case of catching up from behind.

Originally, the Qianyang True Fire was a spiritual fire he cultivated himself. It was only after merging with a wisp of spiritual flame from the Heavenly Crafts Bureau's jade seal that it barely reached the second rank.

Fortunately, it later merged with the spirit of the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame, greatly improving its quality.

Now they are among the first to enter the fourth rank.

Undoubtedly, the chances of winning the upcoming Tianwei assessment have greatly increased.

After all, it is extremely rare to be able to master a fourth-grade spirit flame before the age of twenty.

After all, to fuse with a spiritual flame, a first-grade flame is generally the best.

If it's a second-rank item, then the risk is too great.

It could be burned down at any time.

Even if one can fuse with a second-grade spiritual flame, it is difficult to reach the third grade without more than ten years of growth.

Therefore, Zhou Ling was confident that there were very few cultivators under the age of twenty who possessed a fourth-grade spirit flame.

He might be the only one, after all, the power of a fourth-grade spirit flame is no less than that of a Golden Core cultivator.

After the spiritual flames within his body subsided, Zhou Ling got up and left the cultivation room.

In ten days, the assessment of the Heavenly Craftsmen will take place.

This assessment requires a trip to the headquarters of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau in Qingyang Immortal Realm, so it's necessary to prepare a few days in advance.

Furthermore, we also need to understand the situation of our opponents.

Qin Zhizheng had originally given him the information on the Tiangong Guards from Qingyang Immortal Realm who were participating in the assessment.

I just get busy and don't have time to look at it.

I'll have to find some time later to get a better understanding of my opponent's strength.

It also helps me to perform better.

"Xin'er, how is your cultivation of the Divine Fire Condensation Technique going?"

Zhou Ling walked out of the cultivation room and saw Wang Xin sitting in the meditation hall drinking spiritual tea, looking relaxed. He asked her with concern.

"Brother Ling, the effect is great! With the integration of this Divine Fire Refining Technique, my cultivation speed is almost twice as fast as before!"

Wang Xin poured Zhou Ling a cup of spiritual tea and said with a smile.

"So fast?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ling was also somewhat surprised.

Originally, because of the Sixth Rank Spirit Flame Technique, there was concern that when Xin'er cultivated the Divine Fire Condensation Technique, the surge of spirit flame would cause considerable pain, which she might not be able to bear.

Unexpectedly, Xin'er seemed to have no problem with this at all.

And this speed is actually no worse than his.

It should be noted that he possesses five natal spirit flames, along with the newly condensed [Six Transformations] talent, which is why he achieved such an effect.

Xin'er's ability to achieve such results is mostly due to her own physical constitution and the grade and attributes of her spiritual flame.

"Yes, I find it a bit hard to imagine!"

Wang Xin walked over, massaged Zhou Ling's back, and smiled.

Zhou Ling could sense that Wang Xin was in a relaxed state now, without the pressure she had felt a few days ago.

It seems that after cultivating this Divine Fire Condensation Method, she was confident that she could reach the Golden Core realm within ten years.

Zhou Ling was overjoyed to see Xin'er in this state.

Unexpectedly, the problem that had put him under so much pressure was solved after his master gave him two spiritual flames to assist in his cultivation.

"Brother Ling, this is the result of my cultivation over the past two weeks. My Ancestral Flame Seed has increased by about 20%!"

As Wang Xin spoke, she lightly raised her hand, and a golden spiritual flame appeared.

"It really has such amazing effects!"

Looking at the golden spirit flame in Wang Xin's hand, Zhou Ling's eyes were full of curiosity.

It is clearly more solid and powerful than it was half a month ago.

Although Xin'er said it was 20%, Zhou Ling felt it might be more than that.

The Divine Fire Condensation Technique is indeed progressing rapidly.

Moreover, with Wang Xin's Dark Fire Spirit Body, there's no need to worry about any aftereffects.

"That's right. In that case, it won't be long before this spiritual flame reaches the third rank."

"The speed of cultivation will increase even further!"

Zhou Ling also said with a happy expression.

The higher the grade of the spirit flame, the greater the feedback and the better the effect when cultivating it.

"Brother Ling, will such rapid improvement affect the quality of our spiritual energy?"

Wang Xin asked with a hint of concern.

The speed of improvement was so fast that it made her a little worried.

"Master said it wouldn't have any impact, after all, this is my natal spirit flame."

"It's the same principle as our usual cultivation!"

Zhou Ling said this.

"Ok!"

Wang Xin nodded and put away the spiritual flame.

Zhou Ling took the opportunity to pull Wang Xin into his arms and said with a smile, "Xin'er, let's celebrate this improvement in cultivation!"

"Ok!"

Wang Xin blushed; now she understood what Zhou Ling meant by this celebration.

······.
