Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

"Equivalent to the top twenty ranked Core Formation Spirit Treasures in the world?"

In the Odd Stone Forest, Xiaoqiao looked at the high-quality Crystal Condensing Pill that Li Ji’an took out, stunned.

Previously, when Li Ji’an mentioned having a pill medicine to replace a Core Formation Spirit Treasure, she was already incredibly shocked, but had never imagined this pill medicine could replace one ranked within the top hundred Core Formation Spirit Treasures.

After receiving Li Ji’an’s confirmation, a blush naturally appeared on Xiaoqiao’s face; the surprise came too suddenly.

Initially, she only hoped to successfully condense a Fake Pill, but now her courage soared, and she had a yearning for a True Pill.

"I, with my mere Lower Grade Spirit Root, truly have hope of achieving a True Pill?" With a feeling of apprehension, Xiaoqiao entered the Dao Field to seclude herself for cultivation.

After Li Ji’an left Gugu and Little Fire Spirit to protect Xiaoqiao, he turned and headed to the inner garden of the Odd Stone Forest.

This place is the cultivation Dao Field for the Inner Sect disciples of the Odd Stone Forest.

Soon, his Divine Sense locked onto the little fatty who was learning the Qi Sensing Technique from the tutor.

Although occasionally mischievous, he was generally restrained and had already thoroughly understood the Qi Sensing Technique.

"Not bad," Li Ji’an nodded slightly.

After the class ended, Li Ji’an called the little fatty over.

He intended to take him to Biyun Sect for another attempt, but the little fatty seemed to have developed affection for the place and firmly wished to stay there.

Li Ji’an did not insist and went along with his choice.

Before parting, he gave the little fatty a piece of Spiritual Jade anew.

Within it, he had refined the Wood Nourishing Effect using his current Golden Core Magical Power, which was remarkable for the growth of his Spirit Vein and the consolidation of his Divine Sense.

Afterward, Li Ji’an returned to Biyun Sect.

With Gugu and Little Fire Spirit protecting Xiaoqiao, even ordinary demon cultivators causing trouble would be of little concern.

During the following two years, apart from steadily progressing in cultivation, meticulously studying various Secret Techniques and arts, Li Ji’an nearly always accompanied Ning Sujin in jointly studying the Chaos Scripture.

After countless attempts and failures, Ning Sujin finally stepped into Qi Cultivation 1st Layer with the Chaos Scripture.

Within her Dantian was now the Innate Chaos Qi unified as one.

"Indeed, the Innate Chaos Qi is extraordinary." On this day, Ning Sujin attacked Li Ji’an with Chaos Magical Power, which was noticeably more powerful compared to Five Elements Magical Power.

The most crucial aspect was the contained energy, which Li Ji’an could hardly discern, seemingly also encompassing the Five Elements, even Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning.

However, Ning Sujin’s Qi Cultivation 1st Layer Magical Power was still too little, and too mixed; specifics would become apparent with more Chaos Qi. To completely clear the energy coverage within, Foundation Establishment Dharma Liquid is required.

"Husband, with the formation of Chaos Qi, the affinity with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi suddenly increases. It’s truly a technique that, as long as one can get started, has extremely low requirements on natural Spirit Roots." Ning Sujin was quite excited.

Li Ji’an smiled and shook his head: "But the entry level is too difficult. If not for your exceptional comprehension and the subtle sensing adjustment of your Primordial Spirit, ordinary people might be repelled by the Five Elements Magical Power before even getting started, causing their Dantian to rupture."

Overall, the entry requirements for this cultivation technique exceed even those for Dharma Cultivators, which demand much of a cultivator’s natural Spirit Root, and it carries greater risks.

Following the engagement and discussion with Ning Sujin, Li Ji’an introspected alone, reviewing the entire process of Ning Sujin practicing the Chaos Scripture along with all experiences and lessons learned, feeling more confident.

He also eagerly anticipated how much stronger the Chaos Technique cultivated from five Celestial Grade Five Elements Techniques might be compared to the Chaos Technique practiced by Ning Sujin.

Several days later, Li Ji’an finally received a Divine Soul Sensing from Gugu and a message from Xiaoqiao.

"It’s done!" That day, he prepared to head to the Odd Stone Forest.

However, this time, he secretly left two Tier Three human-shaped puppets at the Dao Field and handed over the remaining twelve Second Tier and quasi-Tier Three puppets to the three top members of the Sect for joint stewardship.

With those twelve puppets, cooperating with the Sect’s grand array, an ordinary Core Formation Demon Cultivator would find it hard to breach in a short time. Plus, the two Tier Three human-shaped puppets hidden at his Dao Field could basically ensure Biyun Sect’s security.

Before departing, he asked Ning Sujin to take an augury, which revealed no ominous signs at Biyun Sect for the time being.

After making all arrangements, he took Ning Sujin along to the Odd Stone Forest.

This time he planned to stay in the Odd Stone Forest for some time, fully utilizing Xiaoqiao’s Earth Spirit Charm to temper his physique.

A few days later, the two arrived at the Odd Stone Forest.

Inside, lanterns were festooned; it was bustling and lively.

Odd Stone Forest, being a major force with Biyun Sect to the north and the Desert to the south, previously had Qin Family’s protection and Wu Weixiong’s influence, but lacked a Core Formation True Man to hold the fort, appearing strong externally but weak internally.

Now that Xiaoqiao successfully solidified her pill, Odd Stone Forest finally had its pillar, naturally needing a grand celebration.

Publicly, Xiaoqiao claimed she fortunately formed a True Pill, but it was actually a Middle Level True Pill, far exceeding her original expectations.

Upon seeing Xiaoqiao again, her True Pill Magical Power was restrained, and she looked radiant.

In front of everyone, she possessed an inherent majesty of a True Pill without anger.

However, back at the Dao Field, facing Li Ji’an, she remained as warm and respectful as before.

"Congratulations, sister, for successfully forming a Core, progressing further on your Dao journey." Li Ji’an smiled and handed over a bottle of Core Formation Stage cultivation elixir as a congratulatory gift.

"Ping’an, without you, even a Fake Pill might not have been achieved; I must offer you a solemn bow!" Xiaoqiao lightly pressed her lips and gave Li Ji’an a deep bow.

Hearing this, Li Ji’an accepted the bow without stepping aside.

Afterward, Xiaoqiao detailed this Core Formation experience, marveling at the efficacy of that Crystal Condensing Pill.

She also praised Gugu greatly for, during her two years of attacking Core Formation, a group of cultivators occupied the Beast Taming Liu Family Dao Field thousands of miles to the east, attempting to sabotage Xiaoqiao’s Core Formation by dispatching a quasi-Tier Three Demon Beast to infiltrate the place, ultimately killed by Gugu.
