Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 189 Spring Thunder Refining God Technique!

Before we knew it, a year had passed.

The Kingdom of Valant has been very peaceful this past year.

Intimidated by Ronan's disguise as "Dolly," no force within the kingdom dared to take any action.

Even though they spent more time than ever before collecting resources to offer as tribute to Dolifa this year.

Only Augustus V would occasionally come to the Wizard's Tower, hoping to ask "Dolifa" to lead the kingdom's wizards to conquer the Elf Kingdom again.

But Ronan rejected them all.

Augustus V also proposed to go out and find wizards in order to gather wizards from other continents and conquer the Elf Kingdom.

However, Ronan told him that it was hard to say how many elven trees they would get if they cooperated with other wizards.

Therefore, Augustus V had no choice but to give up.

The Ronan brothers' father, Layton Lawrence, also came to Triumph City at Lyon's arrangement.

Ronan used energy particles to amplify his physical body.

In one fell swoop, Layton broke through the tranquility of a mortal knight and became a modified knight.

After that, Layton returned to Redwood Territory to continue managing the territory.

Ronan consumes a large amount of resources every day to improve himself.

Originally, after he cultivated the Yi Wood Dharma Body, the speed at which he absorbed and refined the spiritual energy of heaven and earth greatly increased.

With the accumulation of abundant resources, his cultivation progressed rapidly.

He estimated that he was about to reach the bottleneck of the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The magical power in his dantian became increasingly viscous, and now it was almost a clump.

He hadn't expected his progress to be so rapid.

He thought it might take decades or even centuries of cultivation to form his core.

But judging from the current progress, he may reach the Core Formation stage within a year.

In order to prepare for Core Formation, he thought of going to the True Soul Sect to look at the books on Core Formation.

He strives to succeed in the Core Formation stage on his first attempt.

With that thought in mind, Ronan went to a teleportation array in a training room in the Wizard Tower, chanted a spell, and teleported back to the bungalow.

Then, after changing into the clothes of the cultivation world and drinking the transformation potion, he was transported to the cultivation world.

……

After arriving at the Zhen Huan Sect, Ronan headed towards the sect's library.

He found books that explained the realms of cultivation and then read them one by one.

I specifically chose to read books about breaking through to the Core Formation stage.

At a glance, one can tell that Core Formation is essentially the same as advancing to Foundation Establishment.

All of these require a sufficiently solid foundation in the three treasures of spirit, body, and magic.

In terms of magical power, one must condense all one's magical power into a pill during the impact.

Both the spirit and the body must withstand the impact of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at the time of core formation.

Secondly, we must prevent inner demons from invading us.

The book says that when one forms the Golden Core, all sorts of demons will appear in one's mind.

If one's spirit is insufficient, one is extremely susceptible to being corrupted by inner demons, which can cloud one's judgment and mind.

The body is what sustains the soul; if the spirit is lost, the body may still be able to protect the soul.

If one's physical body is weak, one's soul may be easily taken away by inner demons.

The Core Formation stage is different from the Foundation Establishment stage; there's no such thing as a Foundation Establishment Pill.

After taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, if you fail to establish your foundation on the first try, you can try several more times.

If one fails to form the Golden Core, both the physical body and the spirit will inevitably suffer damage.

Some cultivators who failed to form their core even lost their lives because their spirits were broken and their souls were taken away by their inner demons.

Therefore, both the mind and the body are extremely important.

Ronan felt that his physical body should be fine.

After he mastered the "Rejuvenating Tree Technique," he felt that his physical strength had surpassed that of other body cultivators of the same level.

As for magic power, he just needs to cultivate the Myriad Trees Longevity Scripture step by step.

He was only a little unsure about his mental state.

He had previously cultivated the Divine Evolution Technique.

That's a Qi Refining technique, after all. It might not be enough before you reach the Core Formation stage.

With this in mind, he began to think about methods for cultivating spiritual power.

So he left the True Sect, went to the secular world, and then traveled back to the wizarding world.

……

In Dolifa's Wizard Tower, Ronan is on the ninety-ninth floor, searching for a way to cultivate his spirit.

He found several books, all about how to cultivate one's spirit.

Some methods involve long-term meditation, gradually increasing mental energy.

Some methods involve making potions and training one's spirit...

These methods are all quite ordinary, and the cultivation speed is relatively slow.

Moreover, Ronan knew that Dolifa's spirit had been captured by the Nightmare World.

This might suggest that Dolita doesn't have any good books on spiritual cultivation.

So Ronan decided to go to the world of cultivation.

Let's see if there's anything better.

Or rather, it's more radical.

The Divine Transformation Technique he obtained was a radical spiritual cultivation method.

Because it requires constantly dividing the mind, if something goes wrong, the mental damage may also impair one's sanity.

In any case, he had the Hongmeng (primordial energy) to assist his cultivation, constantly analyzing the cultivation steps and correcting his cultivation errors.

He doesn't need to worry about making mistakes by practicing radical methods.

……

Ronan returned to the True Soul Sect and went to the pavilion where missions were issued. He needed a Qi Refining cultivator and wrote a sign requesting a spiritual cultivation technique.

He had already read all the books on cultivation techniques in the Zhenhuan Sect's library.

He knew perfectly well that there were no cultivation techniques for cultivating the spirit there.

These kinds of cultivation techniques are probably all collected by various cultivators.

……

After writing down the sign, Ronan waited inside the cave of the True Man Sect.

Three days later, while he was cultivating in his cave, he suddenly sensed a cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage approaching his cave.

He cast a sound transmission spell towards the protective array of the cave.

"Fellow Daoist, I have a method for spiritual cultivation here, and I would like to make a deal with you."

Upon hearing this, Ronan sat up cross-legged on the stone bed.

He lightly tapped his foot, and his body floated up, heading towards the stone gate of the cave.

When he reached the stone gate, he waved his sleeve, and with a loud rumble, the stone gate opened wide.

About fifty meters outside the cave stood a monk with white hair and beard.

Ronan made a hand gesture and softly chanted a spell.

The protective array around the cave changed, making way for the white-haired cultivator.

The cultivator then strode over.

"Fellow."

When he reached Ronan, the monk bowed again:
"My surname is Xiang, and my given name is Lin. Fellow Daoist, I have seen you before."

Ronan also remembered this person; they had been on several missions together.

They have the ability to attack the Heavenly Sword Sect and seize resources from the ancient cultivators' ruins.

However, the two never spoke to each other. Ronan also did not know the man's name.

After returning the greeting, Ronan invited Xiang Lin into the cave and served him tea.

After the two sat down and took a sip of tea, Ronan said:

"Fellow Daoist, I don't know about the spiritual cultivation method you mentioned..."

Xiang Lin put down his teacup: "Of course, I have a method left by my ancestors called 'Spring Thunder Refining Spirit Technique,' which is a method specifically for cultivating the spirit."

"Can I take a look?" Ronan asked.

"Of course," Xiang Lin said. "This is just a small part of the beginning. Please take a look, fellow Daoist."

As Xiang Lin spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his storage bag and handed it to Ronan.

Ronan took it.

He was no longer a novice in cultivation, so he naturally knew about this advanced method of storing knowledge in the cultivation world.

He immersed his mind in the jade pendant.

Instantly, the text information from the jade pendant entered his mind.

He then realized that this was indeed a method for cultivating the spirit, which used spring thunder to refine the spirit in order to enhance its strength.

The practice is quite risky, but the results are excellent.

“Alright, I’ll take this method. What are your terms in exchange?” Ronan asked.

Xiang Lin knew that this method contained many dangers. Although it was passed down by their ancestor, not many people dared to cultivate it over the generations.

Without exception, all those who practice this technique suffer mental damage.

He was only trying it out; if Ronan read the first part and didn't want to continue, he would let it go.

However, he was overjoyed that Ronan was willing to take it.

He then set his conditions: "I want sixty Foundation Establishment Pills."

To his relatives, he was the ancestor of the Xiang family, a cultivation family in the Zhenhuan Sect's residence area.

Now, the Xiang family has produced many promising talents, but they are struggling with a shortage of Foundation Establishment Pills, which makes some of them hesitant to attempt Foundation Establishment.

The formula for Foundation Establishment Pills is no longer a secret to cultivators above the Foundation Establishment level.

The medicinal materials used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill are considered rare.

The True Sect possesses a considerable amount of these medicinal herbs, but they are all used by their inner disciples to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and are not for sale.

The Xiang family also planted some, but due to the increase in the number of seedlings in the family over the years, they have consumed a lot of them.

The planted medicinal herbs have been almost completely harvested and are now growing.

Ronan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

If it's Foundation Establishment Pills, he already has quite a few.

These were all leftovers from when he was trying to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, those were all made using materials from the wizarding world.

The resulting elixir was purplish-blue in color.

In the world of cultivation, the Foundation Establishment Pill is vermilion red.

If he were to take out this Foundation Establishment Pill, no one would believe him or say anything.

Even if people believe it, they will still be curious about the materials used to refine this Foundation Establishment Pill.

They asked other alchemists to identify the herb, and they discovered that it was something that didn't exist in the cultivation world. Who knows what might happen then?

"You want way too many Foundation Establishment Pills."

Ronan tried to negotiate.

Foundation Building Pills are not impossible to collect.

In each immortal realm, one can spend spirit stones to buy some.

However, he had another idea in mind: to find the medicinal materials in the wizarding world that were most similar to the Foundation Establishment Pill formula in the cultivation world, and to refine a vermilion Foundation Establishment Pill.

Previously, he did not have many resources and could only make do with some medicinal herbs to refine the blue-purple Foundation Building Pill.

Now, he has Dolifa's warehouse, which contains a variety of medicinal herbs transported from all over the Kingdom of Valant.

He estimated that a suitable candidate should be selected.

He's negotiating now to save himself trouble later.

"Then fifty-five will do," Xiang Lin said.

Ronan continued, "Your Spring Thunder Refining God Technique is so difficult to cultivate. Fifty-five pills are still too many. Forty pills would be better."

"This..." Xiang Lin was taken aback when he heard Ronan's opening remarks were so scathing.

"Fellow Daoist, if it's too little, I don't want to show the cultivation techniques passed down from my ancestors to others," Xiang Lin said with a troubled expression.
"How about forty-five?"

Ronan frowned for a moment, then said, "Forty-three."

Xiang Lin frowned, and after a while, he uttered the word "deal".

Then, Xiang Lin told him the location of his cave.

Once Ronan has collected all forty-three Foundation Establishment Pills, he can go to him to exchange them for the Spring Thunder Refining God Technique.

Several hours after Xiang Lin left, Ronan also left the True Soul Sect and traveled back to the Wizarding World.

……

Upon arriving in the wizarding world, Ronan immediately immersed himself in the wizarding tower.

They were searching for the medicinal herbs needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

After several attempts, the vermilion Foundation Establishment Pill was finally refined.

Moreover, the medicinal materials were quite similar in appearance and properties to those used in the Foundation Building Elixir formula.

The Foundation Establishment Pills refined from it are almost identical to those refined in the cultivation world.

Only when an alchemist breaks a Foundation Establishment Pill and analyzes it carefully can the subtle differences be discovered.

However, the Foundation Establishment Pill was originally a treasure to the Xiang family.

After receiving the Foundation Establishment Pill, they would at most have the alchemist check whether it was effective; they would never let the alchemist break one.

Several days later, Ronan used multiple alchemy furnaces simultaneously to refine all forty-three Foundation Establishment Pills.

After he put the Foundation Establishment Pill into a large porcelain bottle, he traveled to the world of cultivation.

……

Upon arriving in the world of cultivation, Ronan headed towards the True Immortal Sect, found Xiang Lin's cave dwelling, and cast a sound transmission spell inside.

Xiang Lin opened the gate of the cave and went out.

After exchanging greetings, the two asked Lin, "Fellow Daoist, why have you come here? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Now that the transaction has taken place, only a few days have passed, and he doesn't think Ronan will be able to collect all forty-three Foundation Establishment Pills.

He believed that Ronan came here to lower the terms of the exchange.

Unexpectedly, Ronan took out a pure white porcelain bottle: "Fellow Daoist, forty-three Foundation Establishment Pills are all here."

Lin's pupils widened in surprise. After taking the porcelain bottle, he immediately opened it and smelled it.

I don't know about its medicinal properties, but the smell is definitely the fragrance of the Foundation Building Pill.

He couldn't help but look at Ronan.

He didn't know how Ronan had managed to collect all the Foundation Establishment Pills in such a short time.

Suddenly, he remembered how Ronan had gone on a killing spree during his fight against the Heavenly Sword Sect.

'Could these have all been stolen from other cultivation families?'

Looking at Ronan's ordinary, somewhat kind-looking face, Xiang Lin felt as if the medicine bottle in his hand was filled with heavy blood.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. Please don't reveal our transaction," Xiang Lin pleaded.

"I will compile some of the insights left by our ancestors regarding the cultivation of the Spring Thunder Refining Spirit Technique as a gift."

He feared that if they revealed the deal, their family would face retaliation from the cultivation families.

As he spoke, Xiang Lin handed a jade pendant to Ronan: "What is contained inside is the Spring Thunder Refining God Technique."

"As for my cultivation insights, I need to take some time to organize them. Please come back here in three days."

Ronan immediately accepted the jade pendant, focused his mind, and a long passage of text immediately flooded his mind.

After reading the text, he knew it was indeed the Spring Thunder Refining God Technique. He then bid farewell to Xiang Lin, paused for a moment, and rode away on a streak of sword light.
