I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

For a low-tier cultivator like him, trying to survive between two powerful forces is incredibly difficult.

"Perhaps leaving is indeed a good option."

Zhou Changwang thought carefully, but he could only choose to take things one step at a time.

Fortunately, there is a six-month buffer period.

In half a year, both the Spirit Gathering Grass and the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree will mature, and he won’t have to worry about losses in this aspect.

The only concern that remains is the issue of safety.

Fengming Dock Marketplace is isolated in the mountains, stepping out of the marketplace means entering the wilderness.

Poisonous insects cover the ground, countless demon beasts roam.

Walking alone is filled with danger.

Only some caravans have carved out familiar and safe routes, which allow smooth entry and exit, but they still need to stay vigilant against potential threats.

If he really has to leave, it would indeed be safer to follow the disciples of Shuiyun Immortal Sect.

...

"Replacing the talisman pen, talisman paper, and talisman ink certainly makes drawing talismans much smoother."

Zhou Changwang held the Golden Hero Talisman Pen, feeling that the spiritual power within him flowed through the talisman pen, then to the spirit-guiding hair and talisman ink, finally reaching the talisman paper smoothly, without any hindrance, giving him a sense of ease and artistic delight.

Then, as he drew the last rune.

Buzz!

On the beast skin talisman paper, spiritual light surged greatly, and a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual qi rapidly poured onto the talisman paper, until the talisman ink was completely saturated with spiritual qi, then gradually subsided, returning to calm.

The talisman was complete.

Moreover, what was completed was not an ordinary spirit talisman.

It was a finished spirit talisman with a power exceeding seventy percent of an ordinary magic spell.

First Grade Initial Stage Thunder Talisman.

This was already the tenth First Grade Initial Stage Thunder Talisman he had drawn.

Additionally, he also had five First-grade Initial-stage Fireball Talismans and three First-Grade Initial-Stage Protection Talismans on him.

This was the result of his talisman drawing during this period.

Of course, what excited him the most was that he finally mastered the Talisman Making Technique for the Golden Light Shield Talisman he purchased from the Talisman Inn.

But an entry level Golden Shield Talisman naturally had weak defensive power.

However, after drawing a hundred talismans in one go, he directly upgraded the Golden Shield Talisman to a mastery level, producing Golden Light Shield Talismans that far surpassed the boutique-level Protection Talismans.

Regarding the boutique-level Golden Light Shield Talismans—Zhou Changwang estimated that even a Third-level Qi Cultivation Practitioner could hardly shatter them with a full-force strike.

After two consecutive hours of drawing talismans, Zhou Changwang dragged his exhausted heart spirit directly to the cultivation secret room.

"The last Yellow Spirit Pill has also been used up."

Zhou Changwang prepared the Golden Soup Locking Spirit Formula, then sat cross-legged in the bathtub, and swallowed a Yellow Spirit Pill.

The surging heaven and earth spiritual qi immediately filled every corner of his body, then was quickly absorbed and transformed by his swiftly circulating Five Elements Technique.

One circulation, two circulations, three circulations...

Five Elements Technique+1

Five Elements Technique+1

Cultivation level+1

Cultivation level+1

After several circulations.

Zhou Changwang slowly opened his eyes.

The spiritual qi within him had been fully absorbed, transformed into spiritual power within his body.

Feeling the faint sense of fullness within him, Zhou Changwang felt a trace of satisfaction.

"Cultivation at Qi Refining Third Layer (89/100) now.

The breakthrough is not too far off.

If I rely solely on my own cultivation, it should take another two and a half months.

However, if supplemented with the effects of elixirs... three to four Yellow Spirit Pills..."

A glint of determination flashed in Zhou Changwang’s eyes.

He felt a sense of urgency.

The Third-Layer Qi Cultivation has always been just a low-tier cultivator, not to mention in those Immortal Technique sects, even in Fengming Dock Marketplace, they are bottom-level cultivators, inherently inferior.

But cultivators at Qi Refining Fourth Layer are completely different.

Qi Refining Fourth Level cultivators can possess spiritual sense, can freely wield magical artifacts in attack, can use spiritual sense to explore all surrounding information with closed eyes, and can even perform internal viewing, greatly assisting in cultivation and quickly discovering errors and mistakes in their practice...

Qian Xiaoyue’s cultivation breakthrough to Qi Refining Fourth Layer indeed stirred him somewhat.

"Tomorrow, I’ll go out again, sell some spirit talismans, and then buy a bottle or two of spirit pills."

Zhou Changwang muttered.

He glanced at the attribute panel.

Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Technique (Great Success 678/800)

"Hmm? The experience points of Five Elements Technique are almost full?"

Zhou Changwang’s face was filled with surprise and delight.

When the Five Elements Technique reaches small success, it can automatically operate the cultivation technique. At the Great Success stage, not only can the technique expand many meridians, becoming more suitable for his physique, but its automatic operation efficacy is more than doubled.

He had been cultivating methodically every day without paying much attention to this detail.

Upon checking now, he realized that unknowingly, the Five Elements Technique was about to upgrade again.

After Great Success comes Perfection.

Zhou Changwang felt quite expectant about the changes that the Five Elements Technique would bring after reaching Perfection.

"At most, in five days’ time.

Five days later, the Five Elements Technique will achieve Perfection."

Zhou Changwang estimated the number of circulations of his cultivation technique each day and quickly reached a conclusion.

Five days is not a long time, it passes in the blink of an eye.

With cultivation nearing breakthrough and technique about to reach Perfection, Zhou Changwang’s mood instantly brightened.

Then, he got out of the bathtub, tidied up briefly, and lay down comfortably, quickly taking out a jade scroll from the storage bag.

With a slight movement of his heart spirit, he rapidly immersed into the jade scroll.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

After five breaths.

A hazy thought emerged in Zhou Changwang’s mind that he seemed to persist longer today, then quickly fell into deep sleep.
