Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 578 The Rapid Progress of Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique
Yanghu Cave Heaven.

With the arrival of the will of the cave, Jiang Ning instantly understood the rules of this place.

Yanghu Cave Heaven is a training ground for the Shangyang Immortal Sect.

Countless years later, this grotto-heaven reopened, and he came here, naturally participating in this trial.

As one of the participants in the trial, he must become the ultimate winner on this island to qualify for the next round.

The winner of each round has the right to choose to withdraw.

Shangyang Immortal Sect
Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

He looked in the direction of the island, and a vague sense of something was in his mind.

Based on the information that had just flooded his mind, he knew that it was the opponent chosen for him by the will of the cave world.

Once an opponent is selected, both can gain a vague sense of each other's location.

Therefore, in this trial, simply avoiding it is meaningless, and you cannot win by relying on avoidance.

"The rules of this grotto-heaven are indeed extraordinary!"

At this moment, Jiang Ning had a deeper understanding of the wonders of the cave world.

He then left the beach and began to venture deeper into the island.

The unique environment of ten suns on the same day creates a unique environment in which the plants of heaven and earth contain the essence of the great sun.

In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he has made progress in his internal alchemy cultivation that is equivalent to a whole day's worth of work.

How could he possibly miss such an opportunity?

As for becoming the winner of this island, that's secondary compared to the experience points gained from the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique.

Guided by some unseen force, he didn't need to seek out opponents; they would come to him on their own.

the other side.

A woman dressed in a light blue dress, with a beautiful and refined appearance, finished processing the information in her mind, and her eyes lit up with joy.

"The records in the ancient books were indeed correct; this place really is one of the training grounds of the Shangyang Immortal Sect!"

"If I can win, I will be able to obtain the status of an inner disciple of the Shangyang Immortal Sect and acquire its core inheritance. With this opportunity, the world environment will be fully restored soon, and I may one day become an immortal and an ancestor!"

Thinking of this, the woman's eyes lit up.

She glanced at the spiritual fruit she had just picked, then put it into her bag.

Upon entering the cave world, she discovered that her storage items were malfunctioning, and she could not retrieve any items.

She wasn't surprised by this.

The Cave Heaven World is a small world independent of the outside world.

With such different rules, storage space is essentially useless in this kind of place.

Especially since this place is the training ground of the Shangyang Immortal Sect, it is perfectly reasonable to strictly prohibit the use of spatial items.

If this is not strictly prohibited, the trial will be completely unfair.

Therefore, she could only tear off an inner garment and use it as a bundle to pack the spiritual plant she had just discovered.

at the same time.

Jiang Ning also noticed this.

Because he found a piece of ore the size of a fist.

The ore is crimson red and has six holes around its body, from which crimson flames occasionally spew out.

He was able to see the concentration and flow of energy by relying on his keen eyesight, which allowed him to find the ore in the crevice of a stubborn rock that stood tall and upright.

However, when he tried to acquire the strange stone, he found that the mustard leaf on his wrist was dormant.

"Could it be due to the rules?" Jiang Ning wondered.

After a moment's thought, he felt that his guess was probably true.

Given the sheer size of the training facility, it's normal to have such limitations.

Otherwise, the trial would be too unfair.

Looking at the crimson ore in his hand, Jiang Ning pondered for a moment before putting it into his mouth.

Click!

With a single bite of his hard teeth, he tore off a large chunk of the rock, just like a crisp apple.

Click——

Click——

At this moment, he felt that his teeth were in excellent condition. He chewed the extremely tough ore in his mouth one bite at a time, and then swallowed it down with a gulp.

next moment.

call--

Two flames shot out from his nostrils.

"So good!!" His eyes were bright. Instead of feeling pain, he felt an indescribable sense of comfort all over his body.

A warm feeling spread throughout my body, reaching every limb and bone.

Then, with a slight thought, he refined the flowing essence.

【.】

A series of prompts flashed before his eyes.

"Just as I expected!" Jiang Ning smiled slightly, feeling pleased with himself, as he looked at the prompt in front of him.

After that, he tried to do two things at once.

While refining the surging essence contained in the ore within his body, he gnawed on the six-aperture ore in his hand like a wild fruit.

In the blink of an eye.

An unidentified mineral, about the size of a fist, entered his stomach.

He held his breath and focused all his energy on refining the surging essence within his body.

Prompts kept flashing in front of me.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes.

[Skill]: Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Technique (One-time limit break 6277/20000) (Trait: Longevity Seed (Light Purple))
Seeing the changes on the panel, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Before entering the Shangyang Immortal Sect's cave heaven, the experience points for the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique were only a little over four thousand points, still several hundred points short of five thousand.

Now, however, the experience points have increased to over six thousand.

In less than an hour, his experience points increased in a way that was comparable to ten days of hard work.

The one that brought the greatest improvement was the six-aperture ore that had just been refined.

Based on his observations, that single ore alone brought him over a thousand experience points.

"I never expected that this trip to Yanghu Cave would yield such an unexpected reward!!"

Close the panel and watch the energy converge and intertwine in front of you.

Jiang Ning felt secretly pleased.

He came here originally to find Tian Gangyang.

Although he didn't know where Lin Qingyi got the information from.

However, Lin Qingyi was already someone he could trust completely.

Having received news from Lin Qingyi, he naturally had to come here.

Although Tian Gangyang still has no clue, his gains so far have made him feel that the trip has been worthwhile.

And this is just the beginning; the rewards will only be greater in the future.

"And there's the legacy of the Shangyang Immortal Sect!" Jiang Ning thought to himself, feeling incredibly motivated.

In less than an hour, he understood why so many people were so eager to visit the secret realm.

Now, having experienced it firsthand, he understands completely.

Even though such a treasure trove contains risks, who wouldn't want to take a chance?

"We've finally found you!" Just then, a loud voice rang out.

Jiang Ning looked in the direction of the voice and saw a bearded man standing in front of him.

Upon seeing this bearded man, Jiang Ning was overjoyed.

Because the bearded man had a bundle tightly tied around his waist.

In his piercing vision, the bundle glowed with a dense golden light, clearly indicating that it contained spiritual plants from this place.

"Am I the first person you've met?" Jiang Ning asked.

“No, you are the second!” the bearded man said, striding towards Jiang Ning.

"The second one? It seems the first one has already died at your hands?" Jiang Ning asked.

“It seems you’re worried about your life, but there’s no need to worry. This is a training ground, not a hell. You won’t die if you lose!” said the bearded man.

"I see!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"Hand over the rare spiritual plants and treasures you've collected, and I'll send you out!" the bearded man said as he strode towards Jiang Ning. Each step covered more than three feet.

“Rare and precious spiritual plants? They’re right here!” Jiang Ning pointed to his abdomen.

Upon seeing this, the bearded man immediately stopped and his expression became serious.

"You swallowed all the rare and precious spiritual plants you found?"

"Otherwise what?" Jiang Ning said.

Hear the words.

The bearded man secretly gasped.

He had tried the rare and precious plants and herbs of this place before.

A seemingly ordinary blade of grass damaged his internal organs. If he hadn't been a master who had undergone a blood transfusion and possessed extremely strong vitality and vigorous life force, he would have been in serious trouble.

For an ordinary martial artist, such injuries would be enough to take half their life.

After that one attempt, he never dared to try the rare and precious plants he found again.

I'm only planning to take it away.

The winner of this round of trials will be qualified to leave.

He had figured it out; with his ability, the winner of this round still had a chance.

Since there were quite a few people coming in, the first round was a random assignment.

If he's lucky, he's confident he can be the final winner of this round.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's explanation, alarm bells immediately went off in his mind.

Refining large quantities of spiritual plants and rare treasures was something even he couldn't do.

"What is your name, sir?" the bearded man asked.

"Jiangning."

"You are Jiang Ning!!" The bearded man was greatly shocked and looked at Jiang Ning with a serious expression.

"So you've heard of me?" Jiang Ning said.

"Of course I've heard of you!" The bearded man nodded. "Your name is already renowned in several surrounding prefectures! You are hailed as the number one young talent in Guangning Prefecture!"

"I never expected the outside world to think so highly of me!" Jiang Ning said with a smile.

"Having risen from an ordinary citizen to this position, anyone who knows your background would dare to look down on you," the bearded man said.

Then, he took off the bundle from his waist and threw it aside.

He immediately took a deep breath.

"Your name is renowned far and wide; today is the perfect opportunity to learn from you!" The bearded man bowed to Jiang Ning.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning also cupped his hands and said, "Please!"

The words fell.

With a swift movement, the bearded man rushed forward like a black gust of wind.

next moment.

He flew backward at an even faster speed.

The person looking at Jiang Ning from mid-air was utterly astonished.

With one strike, he felt as if his bones and muscles were falling apart; the force was not concentrated on a single point, but rather throughout his entire body.

He understood that this was precisely Jiang Ning's way of holding back.

After being thrown several feet into the air and landing steadily, the bearded man looked at Jiang Ning with a complicated expression.

He cupped his hands in a gesture of surrender: "I concede!"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Ning felt an invisible wave descend upon Qiu Xu Ke. Then, Qiu Xu Ke's figure gradually became illusory and blurry, as if shrouded in water ripples.

It wasn't until three breaths had passed that the bearded man disappeared from his sight.

"Three breaths!" Jiang Ning muttered to himself, "I wonder if this process can be interrupted!"

After a moment's thought, his gaze fell upon the bundle that the bearded man had tossed on the ground, and a look of delight immediately appeared on his face.

The next moment, he picked up the bundle, opened it, and found it filled with various spiritual plants with rich auras.

The spiritual plant in his hand reflected in his fiery eyes, shimmering with a bright and dazzling light.

"It's really good to prohibit the use of items like the Sumeru Ring. This way, all the spiritual plants and rare treasures they find will be wasted."

Jiang Ning was secretly delighted.

Then, he grabbed a small, reddish-brown blade of grass and popped it into his mouth, immediately feeling a scorching heat coursing through them.

However, this level of intensity was harmless to him.

After a long while, he finished carrying his bundle and opened the panel.

[Skill]: Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Technique (One-time limit break 7013/20000) (Trait: Longevity Seed (Light Purple))
"Seven thousand!!" He nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the progress on the panel.

When I entered, the progress was less than 5,000.

I just found a six-aperture ore and it's now worth over six thousand progress points.

The progress has now reached over 7,000.

"With this kind of efficiency, it shouldn't be difficult for me to break through my internal alchemy cultivation technique once during this trip to Shangyang Cave!"

"If we're lucky, we might be able to break through twice!"

Thinking about this made him feel great.

Then I noticed the guidance from the unseen forces.

Huh?
He was slightly surprised.

He also remembered that after the bearded man appeared, his opponent, according to some unseen sense, was in the south of the island, some distance away from him.

Now, regaining his senses, he sensed, through some unseen intuition, that his opponent was in the north of the island.

These are two extremes.

Even for him, it would take only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to travel the distance between the two extremes of south and north.

Having just explored the island, he now knows that it is not small.

He was able to appear on the beach so quickly because he wasn't in the center of the island.

"He must have been eliminated!" he thought to himself.

the other side.

The woman, dressed in a long cyan dress and possessing a refined and elegant appearance, looked at the trial participants lying dead at her feet, a hint of contempt flashing in her eyes.

"You're not even a Grandmaster, yet you dare to participate in the Shangyang Immortal Sect's trials! And you even dare to attack me?"

She stepped over the dismembered corpse, her skirt immediately stained with some dark red blood, but she didn't care.

Following a premonition, she sped off toward her next target, searching for the spiritual plant.

"The spiritual plants here all contain extremely strong yang energy. If we take them to the alchemy workshop for refining, they should be worth a fortune!"

The woman walked briskly.

A few hours later.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Jiang!" A burly man bowed to Jiang Ning in gratitude.

His figure slowly disappeared amidst the rippling water.

"Another one gone, we should be close to the finals!" Jiang Ning smiled as he recalled a game from his past life.

Then he looked at the two pieces of ore on the ground that were gleaming red.

These two pieces of ore were the ones that the burly man had been carrying with him.

The temperature is extremely high; ordinary fabrics will melt instantly.

"It must be a good thing!" He picked up the ore that had fallen to the ground during their fight and put it in his mouth.

quack!

With a forceful bite, he instantly bit off nearly half of the crimson ore.

"It's even harder than the six-aperture ore I ate before! It's almost comparable to refined iron! Luckily, I have good teeth!" Jiang Ning thought to himself as he kept eating.

Soon, with a movement of his throat, he swallowed the stone that had been bitten into pieces.

My pores are sealed shut, and I feel as if there are raging flames surging inside me.

【.】

After a while.

The gains have been digested.

[Skill]: Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Technique (One-time limit break 8677/20000) (Trait: Longevity Seed (Light Purple))
After scanning the panel, he nodded in satisfaction.

When I entered, my progress in the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique was less than 5,000 experience points.

But now it has reached more than 8,000 points.

He gained approximately 3,000 experience points, which would have taken him nearly a month to achieve outside.
