Chapter 274: Qi Sources
Li Lang lost track of time as he delved into the depths of Earth-grade cultivation techniques. The premise of it was simple—to create something that could allow cultivators to harness the power of a certain element or elements of Qi. However, that was only the first layer. The reality was much more complicated.
Earth-grade cultivation techniques would stick with a cultivator throughout their journey in the Foundation Establishment Realm. It wasn’t something they could change on a whim, or else their progress would be reset. That meant Li Lang had to ensure his technique had a viable path forward, all the way until the Violet Core Realm.
Thankfully, he had a sizable library of samples to learn from. He never stopped collecting these techniques whenever possible. Combined with what he obtained through the Crucible, he had more than enough to paint a clear picture of what needed to be done.
As the days passed, he eventually reached the point where he would begin testing his creations himself. After all, there were no other test subjects that matched the requirements right now. He was confident that, at the very least, it wouldn’t be deadly, and he could continue to adjust the technique if there was anything wrong.
However, before he began, he needed to procure a few materials first.
“Hey guys, how’s everything been going?” Li Lang sheepishly asked as he found his two companions having lunch along with his students.
“Finally have some time to spare for us?” Long Yi teased.
“Hm, just checking in before I head over to the bazaar. Speaking of, anyone want to tag along?”
Everyone exchanged looks, with no one reacting to his offer, so Li Lang shrugged.
“Suit yourselves.”
“I’ll l-let them know you’re coming,” Wei Ping added as Li Lang turned around.
Li Lang nodded, entrusting his friend with handling the transmission jade.
