Gou Refining Essence into Qi in the Dharma-ending Age

Chapter 5 The Mystery of the Dao Seed, the Supernatural Power "Layered Waves"

Based on his own situation and the experiment he had just conducted, Lin Yuan knew that he had not yet reached the limit of his development of the [Refining Essence into Qi] Dao Seed.

"As expected, the essence I refined using the Dao Seed is equivalent to a pill that is completely unaffected by one's physical constitution. Once I enter meditation and begin cultivation, I can absorb it all."

This is the origin of Lin Yuan's claim of "the great medicine of the human body".

In his case, he was essentially refining himself like an elixir.

"The absorption of spiritual energy from heaven and earth by the root bone and the absorption of spiritual energy refined from the Dao seed are completely independent. It can be said that this is equivalent to doubling my efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy."

"At the same time, as my cultivation level increases, my qi, blood, and essence will also increase."

Lin Yuan thought of a word.

Stepping on the right foot with the left foot, one ascends to heaven.

The Dao Seed refines Qi, Blood, Essence, and Qi into Spiritual Energy for cultivation; after cultivation, cultivation level increases, and Qi, Blood, Essence, and Qi are strengthened; with strengthened Qi, Blood, Essence, and Qi, more Spiritual Energy is refined; with more Spiritual Energy, cultivation is faster; with faster cultivation, Qi, Blood, Essence, and Qi are strengthened even more…

"The only thing I need to be sure of now is whether consuming food that has absolutely no spiritual energy can replenish my current vital energy."

Before embarking on cultivation, this was certainly entirely possible, as Lin Yuan had already confirmed.

But now that he has reached the first level of fetal breathing, he still has no confidence.

After all, to put it bluntly, cultivators and ordinary people can't even be considered the same species.

"Perfect timing, I'm currently lacking in energy, so I can give it a try."

Then he found some ordinary meat.

Eat it after simple cooking, then refine it to speed up digestion.

As he felt his internal energy and blood gradually recover, the smile on Lin Yuan's face became increasingly distorted.

Although ordinary food is far less effective than spiritual food, the fact that it was successful means that the last piece of the puzzle for ascending to heaven by stepping on the right foot with the left is complete.

"It turns out that the power of the Dao Seed only becomes apparent after one truly embarks on cultivation."

"I'm sorry, Dao Seed. I was too naive to say you were useless before."

With such powerful effects, even without the era of the Spirit Extinction, the effects of the Dao Seed are still incredibly strong.

Lin Yuan himself possessed superior physical attributes, and with the ability to completely absorb the spiritual energy refined from his Dao Seed, even those with heavenly physical attributes might not be able to match his cultivation speed.

Moreover, as cultivation levels increase, the gap will continue to widen.

"Once you reach the first level of embryonic breathing, you only need to rest for one hour each day. Use the remaining time to improve yourself, 10% to restore your qi, blood, and essence, and 20% to practice martial arts."

As mentioned before, the Lin family provided "pre-cultivation education" to these individuals before they formally began their cultivation practice.

Besides the most important basic knowledge of cultivation, the cultivation of various supernatural powers and martial arts techniques is also included.

The reason it is called a supernatural "martial skill" is because it is related to the cultivation methods of this world.

The main purpose of the state of fetal breathing is to cultivate an innate body.

All the spiritual energy absorbed will not be stored but will be used to strengthen the physical body.

Therefore, unless one reaches the seventh level of fetal breathing, when the spiritual energy in the body is almost overflowing, one should not release spiritual energy outwards.

The battles are basically fought head-on with bare hands.

Of course, don't underestimate it just because you can't project your spiritual energy outwards.

Cultivation in this realm is said to be a transformation towards innate beings, and that is exactly what it means to transform into innate beings; there is no falsehood in it, and it naturally possesses the terrifying qualities of innate beings.

At the first level of embryonic breathing, one is impervious to blades and spears, capable of withstanding an attack by a sword with the force of a thousand jin; at the second level, one can withstand an attack with the force of ten thousand jin; at the third level, one can withstand an attack with the force of one hundred thousand jin.

Once you reach the fourth level of embryonic breathing, you can become impervious to water and fire; flames of hundreds of degrees Celsius cannot harm your skin or fur. The subsequent realms are self-evident.

Lin Yuan witnessed an elder in the clan at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage shatter a small hill eight or nine zhang high with a single punch.

He still remembers that scene vividly to this day.

From that moment on, he became determined to cultivate himself.

Of course, that elder at the seventh level of the embryonic breathing stage used spiritual energy, and Lin Yuan is still far from reaching that level.

A person at the first level of fetal breathing can withstand an attack of a thousand pounds of force, whether it's a weapon or not, so their inherent strength is naturally not bad.

However, this power is not something you can fully unleash just because you have it.

With the same physical abilities, some people can deliver a punch with the force of a thousand pounds, while others can't even reach half that force.

Supernatural martial arts are the best means of controlling power.

Lin Yuan's mastery of the supernatural martial art is called "Thousand Layered Waves". This supernatural power imitates ocean waves. Just as each wave is stronger than the last, this technique is based on the principle that each move is stronger than the last.

There are nine moves in total. If you can execute the ninth move in a row, you can even unleash power beyond the limit, which is extremely terrifying.

The only drawback is that it is difficult to cultivate.

It's difficult for most people to even get started.

However, Lin Yuan did not feel any difficulty.

He realized long ago that he was quick to learn everything in this life.

This trait becomes even more apparent when learning martial arts techniques.

Generally speaking, supernatural powers are divided into beginner, proficient, master, minor achievement, and major achievement.

In the beginner stage of Thousand Waves, it is difficult to complete all nine moves in a row, and the full power cannot be unleashed. In the proficient stage, it is possible to complete all nine punches in a row, but generally it takes about five breaths. In the master stage, it takes three breaths. In the minor stage, it only takes one breath to complete all nine moves. In the major stage, the power of the nine moves is superimposed, which is extremely powerful and impossible to defend against.

According to the instructors at the time, those with poor comprehension would find it difficult to get started; those with average comprehension would take three months to get started; and those with excellent comprehension would take one month to get started.

Lin Yuan, on the other hand, spent an hour learning the basics.

Then it took me two days to get the hang of it.

Later, when he began to try to enter a state of tranquility, he abandoned this supernatural ability.

Now that I'm about to leave the Lin family, I need to pick things up again.

Firstly, it helps to control the suddenly increased power.

Secondly, even if the family didn't say it, Lin Yuan knew that with the arrival of the Era of Absolute Spirits, the outside world would be in utter chaos.

Without a certain level of self-protection ability, the risk is simply too great.

"Although I only have one supernatural martial skill, it is enough for me to use for a long time. Even at the seventh level of the embryonic breathing stage, Thousand Waves is considered an excellent supernatural martial skill."

Supernatural powers and martial arts skills consist of two stages: "supernatural powers" and "martial arts skills".

Before a cultivator breaks through the seventh level of the embryonic breathing stage, it is considered a martial art; once they break through the seventh level, they can utilize spiritual energy, which is considered a supernatural power.

"It's a pity that I can't mobilize spiritual energy at my current level, otherwise, fighting across levels would be a piece of cake."

Having planned out all his time, Lin Yuan then strictly followed the plan to cultivate.

He wakes up at the crack of dawn every day, activates his Dao seed, and cultivates in the morning sun.

Once the spiritual energy transformed from the essence within the body has been refined, stop and begin eating to replenish the essence.

Once his energy was fully restored, he began practicing "Thousand Waves" until late at night, when he stopped to rest for a short hour.

An hour later, just as dawn broke, he got up without delay and began to repeat the previous day's cultivation.

And so, two months passed.

There is one month left.
