Dao Stone

What is Qi cultivation? It is actually cultivating one's spiritual energy.

Human potential is limitless, and to unleash this potential, a key is needed, and spiritual energy is that key.

The key and lock must be a matching pair.

To open a security door with a regular lock, you would have to sneak in and pick the lock.

The Taoist master said that the door is right there, but ordinary people don't even have the right to see the lock, let alone have a key to open it.

Lu Yang and his group, who possess spiritual roots, are people who are born with a key.

As for people with innate spiritual roots like Lu Hong, they are probably born with a silver spoon in their mouth. These people are naturally closer to that door and are destined to open better locks and push open better doors.

Lu Yang felt that he was holding a copper key in his mouth. At some point, Lu Yang thought that he would be happy if he could try his best to open a copper lock.

However, after acquiring the Fate-Breaking Pearl, Lu Yang thought that he might be able to use a copper key to unlock a golden lock.

Unfortunately, the golden lock can only be opened with a golden key, so what Lu Yang needs to do is turn the bronze key he mentioned into a golden key.

Forging a superior spiritual body gave Lu Yang's bronze key a touch of gold.

The well-preserved spiritual formula added a touch of gold to Lu Yang's bronze key.

These two points of gold provided Lu Yang with the foundation to transform the bronze key into a golden key.

The rest can be left to Qi cultivation. Every teacher in the Taoist academy emphasizes one point: the foundation.

"Do not take excessive amounts of pills."

"You must not practice demonic arts."

"Self-harm techniques are prohibited."

……

In short, one should not do anything that would damage one's foundation. Lu Hong said he had never taken any elixirs.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang knew that the acquired golden key and the innate golden key were truly different.

Fortunately, Lu Yang possessed the Life-Breaking Pearl.

A Qi Refining cultivator cultivates a Spirit Seed, using it as a root to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, thus strengthening themselves.

Each breakthrough at the twelfth level of Qi Refining involves a flow of spiritual energy that tempers the cultivator's essence, energy, and spirit, leading to a qualitative change.

At the same time, the spirit seed will become more robust.

The academy teacher said that when a Qi Refining cultivator encounters a life-threatening crisis, the spiritual patterns within the spiritual seed break off one by one. When the spiritual seed also shatters, the cultivator truly dies.

Therefore, the spiritual seed is the root of a cultivator. The stronger you forge your spiritual seed, the less likely you are to die.

Lu Yang kept these words in mind. Fortunately, he had good fortune, which improved his proficiency in the cultivation technique. He gained several insights, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surrounded him, allowing him to refine the spiritual seed within his body several times.

At this moment, Lu Yang's spiritual seed might be even stronger than that of some cultivators with earth spiritual roots.

With twelve patterns on the spirit seed and twelve levels of Qi Refining, one reaches the pinnacle of Qi Refining. Only when the spirit seed, formed from condensed spiritual energy, is it the key to unlock the door, and that door is the Gate to Foundation Establishment.

When the spiritual seed transforms into the foundation of the Dao, the cultivator finally has the basis for cultivation.

That foundation is the foundation of cultivating immortality. In the cultivation world, those who cultivate Qi are called cultivators, and those who establish a foundation are called superior beings. In other words, cultivators in the foundation stage have already begun to transcend humans and can be called "superior beings".

The Dao Foundation has twelve patterns, which can be described in twelve different rhymes.

This is not a spiritual seed, but a seed of supernatural power.

The foundation for cultivating supernatural powers in the Golden Elixir stage lies in the Foundation Establishment stage. The academy teachers did not elaborate on what happened afterward, but since it involves the foundation of cultivation, it shows how important the word "supernatural powers" is.

Of all the techniques, it seems that only the Advanced Spirit Plant Technique can be said to directly cultivate a seed of supernatural power.

Logically, since this involves seeds of supernatural powers, there should be many people cultivating advanced spiritual plant techniques, but unfortunately, there aren't many.

One reason is that there are not many sects that inherit advanced spiritual plant techniques; at the very least, they are all Golden Core sects, and they rarely pass them on to outsiders.

Furthermore, spiritual plant cultivation is difficult to master. Let alone advanced spiritual plant cultivation, there are very few cultivators who can even master the basic spiritual plant cultivation and are capable of cultivating advanced spiritual plant cultivation.

Many cultivators get stuck at the basic spiritual plant technique and give up, since advanced spiritual plant techniques aren't the only ones that can transform into divine power seeds.

Even today, which powerful sect doesn't have its own divine power seed inheritance technique?

With more choices available, the highly difficult advanced spiritual plant techniques naturally become a niche skill.

But for Lu Yang, advancing his spiritual plant cultivation technique was just right.

Not only does it benefit both spiritual plants, but it also opens up the path to supernatural powers ahead of time, which is a win-win situation. As for the difficulty of advancing spiritual plant cultivation, it is not a problem for Lu Yang. With the blessing of good fortune, and the fact that there are techniques that Lu Yang cannot comprehend, it is not a problem.

The Lu family has never been known to possess any techniques for inheriting supernatural seeds, so advancing to the Spirit Plant Technique is of even greater significance to Lu Yang.

Holding the advanced spiritual plant technique, Lu Yang didn't hesitate and directly used the inheritance token to touch its spiritual energy shield.

This is the function of the inheritance token. Those who want to rely on their strong memory to learn the skills can forget about it.

Through the spiritual energy shield, all you can see are the spell's name and description.

The acquisition of the advanced spirit plant technique made Lu Yang even more convinced that his clan had obtained the inheritance of the Zixia Sect, since this advanced spirit plant technique was not something that a Foundation Establishment power could possess.

At the exit of the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion, the clan elder saw that Lu Yang was holding an advanced spiritual plant technique, and his eyes were filled with some strangeness. He probably felt that Lu Yang was wasting such a good opportunity to inherit the technique.

"Once you choose to inherit something, you can't go back on your word. This advanced spirit plant technique is a copy of the clan's manual. After you've viewed it, it will automatically collapse and you don't need to return it."

hiss!

As expected of a second-tier inheritance, the materials used are also of such high quality. Lu Yang remembered that the material used for rubbings with this function was called "Dao Stone," which seemed to be a spiritual object of considerable value.

After bowing to the clan elder, Lu Yang hurriedly returned to the spirit field.

In these turbulent times, he also needs to seize the time to improve his strength.

In the small courtyard.

Lu Yang comprehended the advanced spiritual plant technique. This was the unique feature of the Dao Stone: it could not only self-destruct, but also allow you to directly memorize its contents.

"If one hears the Way in the morning, one can die content in the evening." This is the origin of the name "Daoshi" (Way Stone).

There are also ten techniques in the advanced spiritual plant cultivation techniques.

Seedling Technique, Cloud and Rain Technique, Wind-Supporting Technique, Golden Sharpness Technique, Spirit Flame Technique, Thick Earth Technique, Spirit Cage Technique, Spirit Interception Technique, Spirit Gathering Technique, Spirit Condensation Technique.

That's right, compared to the basic spirit plant technique, it's just missing the word "small".

But just one word makes all the difference.

The basic spiritual plant spell requires the help of the environment. In other words, if there is no wind in your environment, you cannot cast your minor wind-supporting spell.

However, the Wind-Supporting Technique is different; it creates something from nothing, transforming spiritual energy into wind, which can be obtained with a simple wave of the hand.

As for power and might, they are worlds apart.

Lu Yang can only remember it now. His basic spiritual plant technique is only at a minor level. It would be futile to try to comprehend even the basics of advanced spiritual plant techniques.

However, Lu Yang believed that day was not far off, as he was a professional at cultivating magic.

"Xuanyang, wait for my news after you return. I will be heading to Biannan County soon, and I will be taking some disciples with me. You will come with me."

When leaving the mountaintop, Lu Changfeng had said something that suggested the Lu family was really going to have a war with the Southern Barbarians. Well, they couldn't be scared into fleeing by such a small fry before the Southern Barbarians' fate was even certain.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to improve our strength.

The Mingwang Fist technique is used as a starting point, directly blessing the last ten years of one's fortune.
