Guixu Immortal Kingdom

Chapter 13 Basic Cultivation
Of course, this sphere of light is not sturdy; it is essentially just a simple protective layer. Only by crushing it can a mysterious transformation occur, completing the final gestation.

Click! !
A crisp cracking sound rang out, and naturally, a bright green fang appeared in his hand.

蛇牙
Huang-level low-grade spiritual material.

It can be used to forge magical artifacts and divine weapons; the snake's fangs contain potent poison.

"These snake fangs can be used as the first type of material. If they were on Earth, they could be used as a highly poisonous hidden weapon. Even when ground into powder, they would become highly poisonous. If an ordinary person were poisoned, they would die within minutes."

He played with the snake fang for a moment, then put it aside. He had seen someone else get one in the restaurant before, so it was probably the most common material. After all, these orbs of light were almost all born from venomous snakes, so it was perfectly normal for them to produce materials from snakes. The most important thing was that, under normal circumstances, you couldn't get a fang of this quality from an ordinary venomous snake. It was definitely an extraordinary material.

Not disappointed, he then took out a second ball of light.

After crushing it, another snake fang appeared.

The third one wasn't a snake fang, but a dark, round pill. The moment I crushed it, I instinctively knew its information.

Detoxification pills

Yellow-grade mid-level elixir.

It can remove most of the deadly poisons within the range of the middle grade of the Yellow Rank. Beyond that range, it cannot dispel them. It can also suppress deadly poisons to some extent, depending on the situation.

"This is a good thing, a pill. I've only heard of it on Blue Star before, but I've never actually seen it. Many pills that are widely circulated are concocted by pharmacists. This antidote pill is a real pill, a rare product that was directly nurtured. Deadly poisons are the most troublesome, and you never know when you might need to use it. It's a good thing."

Ji Tianhao had witnessed it firsthand. People bitten by several venomous snakes in the restaurant, who were almost dead from the poison, were completely cured after taking the antidote pill. There was no doubt about its miraculous detoxifying effect.

He immediately retrieved a jade box from the singularity space, a box he had kept hidden away for who knows how long, opened it, and carefully placed the antidote inside to prevent its medicinal properties from fading.

Snake Bone Dagger
Yellow level weapons.

It possesses a toughness and sharpness comparable to refined iron, capable of piercing through the black membrane.

"What is the black membrane? This is yet another unknown."

Ji Tianhao keenly sensed something different from the information he received. He pondered it to himself and kept it in mind, waiting for another opportunity to learn more about it later.

snake bone
Yellow-grade low-quality materials.

It can be used to forge magical artifacts and divine weapons, increase their toughness, and can be used in medicine.

Snakeskin
Yellow-grade low-quality materials.

It can be used to forge magical artifacts and divine weapons, and it can also be used in medicine.

Almost all the items born inside the orb of light are related to snakes, from snake skin to snake bones, which are the most common and frequent occurrences.

There were quite a few antidote pills among them; three were directly extracted from the fifteen orbs of light. They were all placed into the jade box. The rest were materials, including only a snake bone short sword. This shows that obtaining valuable items from this box wouldn't be easy.

Ordinary materials, even if you hold them in your hands, you can't make use of them; you need to have the corresponding abilities.

This also greatly lowered expectations.

"It seems that the probability of finding good things is relatively low, no matter where you are."

Ji Tianhao smiled and pondered to himself.

While thinking, he didn't stop activating the light orb. This time, after crushing it, what appeared in his hand were three perfectly integrated orbs, black iron in color, with a black eye appearing on one side and starlight on the back.

Holding it in your hand, it has a natural weight to it.

Guixu Coin

The mainstream currency of the Ruins of Return is the Black Iron Coin, with each coin worth one Ruins of Return currency. It contains special energy that can provide unique primordial substances for Black Iron-level lifeforms. Once absorbed, this energy can be replenished under specific conditions, making it impervious to external forces, even by those at the Black Iron level.

"There really is an energy contained in this. I feel that if I use my talent, the energy consumed can be completely replenished by the energy contained in the black iron coin. This is much better than recovering on my own."

Ji Tianhao felt the special energy contained within the black iron coin in his hand, and was secretly shocked, once again sensing the difference in this world.

Perhaps, this world is nothingness.

Without hesitation, he took out a sandalwood box and placed the Guixu Coin in his hand inside. This might be the most crucial circulating currency in the future. Having money and not having money are two completely different concepts. Having money in hand can make people feel inexplicably at ease.

When you have no money, you feel anxious.

With the three black iron coins obtained this time, luck seemed to be improving. Ten more light orbs were opened, five of which contained materials, three contained antidotes, and two contained black iron coins, totaling five. Combined with the previous ones, this brought the total number of Guixu coins to eight.

As Ji Tianhao watched the Guixu Coins grow, a smile appeared on his lips.

Snapped! !

With a crisp sound, a brand new item appeared in my hand.

"Book?"

"Finally, I've run into him."

Ji Tianhao was taken aback at first, then a look of joy appeared on his face. He quickly looked at the book in his hand. No matter where you are, books are the best carrier of knowledge. When he saw the book, he instinctively knew that this must be the thing he had been dreaming of.

He immediately looked down at the book in his hand.

Snake Entangling Silk Hand

Yellow Rank Low-Grade Cultivation Technique
After cultivation, one can temper the meridians within the body, a method known as the Meridian Refining Technique. At its highest level, one can cultivate snake patterns, python patterns, dragon patterns, and the snake pattern among dragon patterns. Naturally, a message emanated from the book and appeared in my mind.

"The Spirit Serpent Entwining Hand is a method of Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing). What do the snake, python, dragon, and serpent patterns represent? Is this a true cultivation technique?"

Ji Tianhao murmured excitedly to himself.

This innate awareness should be the true path that leads people onto the path of spiritual cultivation.

I couldn't wait to open it, and there it was divided into several parts.

The first part is the dynamic boxing method.

The second part is the pile method.

The third part is the breathing technique, called the Serpent Breathing Technique.

All the methods of cultivation were clearly displayed before me. In a rough comparison with the Chinese martial arts I practiced, I could intuitively feel that there were differences between the two, as well as great similarities.

"The 'Serpent's Silk Hand,' which combines breathing techniques, stance training, and fist techniques, is specifically designed to train a part of the body. It trains the meridians and collaterals. Most martial arts on Blue Star, on the other hand, combine stance training with fist techniques, and breathing techniques are internal secrets. Their training is often targeted, with some focusing on the legs, some on the arms, and some on the head, without truly differentiating and dividing the body as a whole. Internal martial arts mostly train the muscles, bones, and skin together, with some emphasis on certain aspects, but the most important thing is to develop a certain kind of power."

Comparing the two, Ji Tianhao secretly made some guesses in his mind.

However, more information is needed.

First, put this copy of "Serpent's Entangling Silk Hand" together. Then continue your operation against the other light orbs.

Before long, several new items appeared.

Snake Bone Whip

蛇胆
Five Poison Pill

Snake Step

Bigu Dan

Qi Dan

The Five Poison Pill is a type of poisonous pill containing potent toxins. The Bigu Pill, when ingested, can sustain one's hunger for three days, while the Essence Pill can increase one's vital energy and accelerate cultivation.

"These are all good things. Where could you find these treasures on Earth before? The world is really different now."

Ji Tianhao said with heartfelt emotion.

The appearance of these items signifies that one may never be able to return. A new world is about to unfold before them. Whether good or bad, the anticipation will not diminish in the slightest.

The Serpent Step is a unique footwork technique. Once mastered, it allows one to move as nimbly as a serpent, weaving and darting about with astonishing speed and power, and greatly enhances combat strength.

There's a saying in traditional Chinese martial arts: "Teach the fist, not the footwork; teach the footwork and you'll beat the master."

It is easy to imagine how much a martial artist could benefit from mastering a footwork technique.

Snapped! !

After the light orbs in the backpack were depleted, it was natural to take out the light orbs stored in the singularity space. There were far more of these than in the backpack. At the time in the restaurant, not only did he collect the corpses and light orbs from the venomous snakes he killed, but he also picked up quite a few light orbs scattered by other people who killed snakes. In the chaos, no one noticed.

"Hey, another treasure has appeared."

Soon, as one of the orbs of light shattered, another book appeared in his hand.

His gaze fell upon the message above, which immediately jolted him awake.

"Initial Understanding of Cultivation!!"

Initial Understanding of Cultivation
Within the Black Iron Rank, there is basic cultivation knowledge, including basic realm divisions, from which one can obtain basic information about cultivation.

"This is a great find. Although it's not a cultivation technique, it's no less valuable than any cultivation technique at this time. It's a guiding light on the path of cultivation. This is a huge gain."

A surge of excitement welled up inside me, and even the beating of my heart seemed to change.

Fortunately, the experience I've gained over the years has given me some control over my temper. I plan to open all the orbs first, and then check the specific gains.

Soon, as the orbs of light shattered one after another, items began to appear one after another.

Among them are some special treasures.

After everything was cleaned up.

He put away the common materials for now. These included not only those from the snake's body but also other materials such as refined iron blocks, bloodstone, and refined copper blocks. Snakewood and similar materials were all of the yellow tier, but he didn't pay much attention to them for the time being, storing them all in his spatial storage for later use.

Only a few truly special items were left behind.

First, he looked at several jade boxes and wooden boxes.

"There are thirty-six antidote pills, twenty-one five-poison pills, thirty-seven essence pills, fifty-two fasting pills, and seven portions of snake spirit ointment. We'll definitely have a chance to use these things later; the snake spirit ointment is a secret medicine for skin tempering."

Looking at these various pills and elixirs, he murmured to himself and carefully put them away.
