Chapter 679 -261: Effects of Spirit Tea, Cultivation Breakthrough! (Part 2)

After discovering this point, he naturally came up with the solution.

It was as if a flash of insight had come to him.

He hurriedly began to cultivate the Little Spirit-Banning Technique.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths…

After a hundred breaths.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Changwang’s mouth.

This time, using the Little Spirit-Banning Technique, he naturally failed again.

But he had made significant progress.

Originally, he could only gather about a hundred Dao Patterns before he couldn’t maintain it anymore, helplessly watching as the Divine Technique dissipated.

But now, he directly gathered two hundred Dao Patterns.

If not for the fact that some Dao Patterns belonged to a domain he hadn’t yet reached and needed time to become familiar with, he could have continued cultivating.

“Then keep going.

At least this proves that my Red Leaf Spirit Tea Leaves have already positively aided my cultivation.

That means my previous efforts weren’t in vain.

The consumption of a few resources is nothing.”

Zhou Changwang felt invigorated.

He drank another cup of Spirit Tea.

He used the tea to reflect on his recent cultivation insights, gained a bit, and then continued cultivating.

Once, twice, three times…

Two hundred and thirty, two hundred and forty, two hundred and fifty…

Every time he cultivated, he felt progress.

With each improvement, he had the illusion that next time, he would surely succeed in mastering the corresponding Minor Divine Technique.

But he was always confident.

Time passed by.

Unknowingly, the sky darkened again.

Zhou Changwang automatically stopped cultivating.

“I didn’t expect this Little Spirit-Banning Technique to be so difficult to master.

But, just give it another day.

In one day, I will surely master it.

That is to say, tomorrow.

I will definitely succeed in cultivating this Minor Divine Technique.”

Zhou Changwang was full of confidence.

Indeed.

A whole day of cultivation.

He had already successfully gathered three hundred and ten Dao Patterns.

Just eighteen Dao Patterns short of completely mastering the Minor Divine Technique at three hundred and twenty-eight.

If not for being eager to draw the Yin Dragon Talisman and fully leverage this trump card.

He would have wanted to cultivate through the night to succeed.

But in cultivation,

there needs to be a balance.

He knew, too much is as bad as too little.

The current slow progress in cultivation was better than a brief rest before continuing.

“And practically, I only have tomorrow left as the last day.

Luckily.

With the Great Cave Celestial Observation Method, even though quite far from Celestial Essence City, I can barely ‘see’ the situation at the city gates.

If they head out, I should also be able to see it.

Worst case.

I can use Sword Flight, plus I have the Flying Shuttle, catching up with them should be quite easy.”

With these thoughts in mind, Zhou Changwang plunged into the Talisman Room again, starting to draw Spirit Talismans.

After several hours.

After consuming the last piece of Cyan-striped Talisman Hide, Zhou Changwang stopped, returned to the Cultivation Secret Room, and took out another top-grade Essence Enhancement Pill, starting the cultivation technique to refine it.

“The energy contained in a top-grade Essence Enhancement Pill is too abundant.

It took a full five circulations to completely digest its energy.”

The next morning.

Zhou Changwang slowly opened his eyes, feeling a moment of insight within.

Then he turned his gaze to the Attribute Panel.

Foundation Establishment First Layer (99/100)

“Just one more point, and my cultivation can break through to the Second-Layer of Foundation Establishment.”

Seeing this, Zhou Changwang felt an uncontrollable sense of urgency.

One point of cultivation.

Seems like a lot.

After all, countless First-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivators need dozens to hundreds of days to break through just this one point.

If unlucky and hit a bottleneck, being stuck for one to four years is quite normal.

“As the saying goes ‘strike while the iron is hot.’

Since I’ve cultivated to this point.

Why not go all the way?

Directly breakthrough!”

Seeing the ’99,’ Zhou Changwang felt an inexplicable impulse.

Under normal circumstances, he would be more cautious.

After all, cultivation emphasizes being grounded and progressing step by step.

The cultivation gained through elixirs can often be unstable, resulting in impure True Essence Power.

But he had no such worries.

His Foundation was too solid.

Great Success Level Pure Yang Five Elements Technique Foundation Establishment Chapter.

The True Essence cultivated was pure and dense; even a single strand of True Essence contained pure and vast power.

Not to mention the Perfection Level Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp.

This Magic constantly purifies and refines his True Essence Power.

So, even after using the Essence Enhancement Pill and the power seemed unstable for a moment, running it through the Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp meant it was pure as before, with no sense of instability.

“Therefore.

I can certainly continue to take spiritual pills for cultivation now!”

Zhou Changwang made up his mind.

With a flip of his hand, he took out another spirit pill.

Essence Enhancement Pill.

This time, a top-grade Essence Enhancement Pill.

He has only two top-grade Essence Enhancement Pills at hand.

Obtained unexpectedly during alchemy.

After all, the number of Essence Enhancement Pills refined was relatively few; the grade did not improve that quickly.

Thus, fewer top-grade Essence Enhancement Pills were produced.

But top-grade had its merits.

This particular one had very few impurities.

Just shy of becoming a true top-grade spiritual pill.

Though labeled as top-grade, it could arguably be considered top-grade.

At least, it can be seen as ‘pseudo’ top-grade.

The effects upon consumption should not differ much from true top-grade spiritual pills.

With these thoughts, he hesitated no longer, focused his mind, and swallowed it in one go.

Boom!

The terrifying energy erupted within him again, like surging rivers and rolling waves.

He couldn’t afford to be distracted, immediately refining the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique.

Instantly absorbing and transforming the immense power of the Essence Enhancement Pill into his True Essence Power.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths…

After one full circulation.

Zhou Changwang sensed something from within his Dantian, a swelling sensation.

“Reached perfection.

Foundation Establishment First Layer has reached Perfection.”

Zhou Changwang instantly realized.

He glanced at the Attribute Panel.

Foundation Establishment First Layer (100/100)

Indeed.

Perfection.

And at that moment.

The medicinal power of the Essence Enhancement Pill hadn’t been fully absorbed and converted.

Continuous energy overflowed, filling his Dantian and meridians tightly, giving a sensation of fullness.

“Now!

Breakthrough directly!”

Without hesitation.

Zhou Changwang guided the True Essence Power within his Dantian, gathered it, and like a sharp sword, charged toward a certain stagnation point.

Boom!

As if a bell tolled loudly.

The world quaked.

Zhou Changwang felt a tremor in his Dantian, followed by immense relief flooding his heart.

In the next moment, he felt the True Essence Power within him flow like untamed horses through the stagnation point.

Breaking through layers of barriers, it finally returned to his Dantian through another meridian.

Rumble!

In the next moment.

Zhou Changwang felt his Dantian rapidly expand.

As if from a bucket expanded into a large vat.

“No, that’s not right.

It’s not just expansion.

My True Essence Power has also thickened considerably.

It has doubled in density compared to before.

Certainly.

The Dantian has widened and expanded.

But it’s also tougher now.”

With a clear mind, Zhou Changwang’s face already reflected a joyous smile.

Because he knew.

He had broken through.

Formally advancing from the First-Layer to the Second-Layer of Foundation Establishment.

But soon, he felt a tension in his heart.

For the Essence Enhancement Pill’s energy continued to flow out unceasingly.

He quickly brushed aside joy, immediately focusing his mind, circulating the cultivation technique, absorbing and transforming all of the medicinal power.

One Circulation, two Circulations, three Circulations…

After four Circulations.

Zhou Changwang slowly opened his eyes.
