Chapter 18: Breakthrough!
Qin Ming sat cross-legged on the grass mat inside the room.
He was holding a bowl of Blood Locust Rice.
The spirit rice grains, like insects, exuded a blood-red aura, which dyed Qin Ming’s face red.
Qin Ming smiled, and the joy of harvest appeared in his heart. 【
Just by smelling it, he could feel the rich Blood Qi Force rushing towards him.
Consuming Blood Locust Rice placed high demands on a cultivator’s physical body’s Blood Qi Intensity, and it shouldn’t be consumed in large amounts.
With Qin Ming’s current Blood Qi Intensity.
This bowl of Blood Locust Rice should barely be bearable.
He scooped a spoonful of Blood Locust Rice and put it in his mouth.
Boom!
A mighty Blood Qi Force surged directly to his crown!
Even though Qin Ming had prepared, he almost couldn’t bear it!
He hurriedly started circulating his Blood Qi according to 《Hundred Treasures Glazed Scripture》, exchanging blood.
In an instant.
Blood Mist began to rise from Qin’s body.
He felt unbearable itching inside his body, and it felt like countless insects were wriggling beneath the surface of his skin.
He felt that all the blood in his body began to boil.
After repeated compression and refining of Blood Qi, the Blood Qi within Qin Ming’s body gradually began to become viscous.
Qin finished eating all the remaining Blood Locust Rice.
In an instant, the Blood Qi of the whole person condensed to a peak.
Boom!
Qin Ming opened his eyes, and the scabs formed during the blood exchange on his skin fell off layer by layer.
《Hundred Treasures Glazed Scripture》 Fourth Layer, Breakthrough!
“Finally,” Qin Ming felt the powerful Blood Qi Force surging within his body, his heart filled with excitement.
“Reaching the Fourth Layer is equivalent to the Mid Stage of Body Refining.”
Qin Ming had undergone such a significant change in just a year, even he couldn’t quite believe it.
“Fourth Layer… it’s not enough, I want to try to break through to the Fifth Layer as soon as possible!” Qin Ming clenched his fist, and muttered.
In the following days.
Qin Ming, besides taking care of the Spirit Field, was also frantically cultivating 《Hundred Treasures Glazed Scripture》.
He lived a secluded life, and his Body Refining progress was rapid with the blessing of the Blood Locust Rice.
Time passed quickly, accompanied by his efforts in cultivation.
After another Half a Year.
Inside the Room.
Qin Ming’s eyes were tightly closed.
After these days of repeated blood exchange, the Blood Qi in his body became increasingly compressed and condensed.
Now his Blood Qi Force had reached an unprecedented Height.
Now only the last hurdle was left, and he could break through to the Fifth Layer.
Qin Ming didn’t hesitate, and the ‘Abundant Qi and Blood’ in his Sea of Consciousness was used by him.
In an instant.
His whole person saw black before his eyes, as if a surging sea of water poured down from above.
It pressed down on Qin Ming, almost making him unable to breathe.
The Blood Essence Amplification contained in this ‘Abundant Qi and Blood’ was not much different from Blood Locust Rice.
Whizz whizz whizz～
Shuhuo.
Qin Ming’s ears rang with the sound of Blood Qi constantly flowing and circulating.
The Scene before his eyes suddenly changed.
He used his Spiritual Sense to look inside his body and found that his body was now like a boundless Sea of Blood.
The Blood Qi was viscous, like mercury.
Profound Blood Qi Force surrounded him.
Qin Ming standing in it seemed incredibly tiny.
Suddenly!
Deep in the Sea of Blood, a huge Tsunami began to gradually roll out.
Raging Waves, instantly engulfing Qin Ming.
Boom!
Qin Ming’s mind exploded, and his ears echoed with tinnitus.
The Blood Qi Force in his body underwent another Transformation, beginning to constantly strengthen Qin Ming’s Physical Body, muscles, and Physique.
A Treasure Light like Lapis Lazuli.
Gradually appeared around Qin Ming, like a long robe, covering every inch of his skin.
This was the “Glazed Treasure Armor” condensed by Qin Ming reaching the state of Blood Qi like mercury, with his own mighty Blood Qi Force!
The moment the Treasure Robe condensed, it meant that he had finally entered the 《Hundred Treasures Glazed Scripture》 Fifth Layer!
Body Refining had completely undergone a Qualitative Change.
Qin Ming’s current Strength had already far surpassed the Body Refining Cultivators of the same level.
He took out the Azure Spirit Magic Sword and slashed hard at his own skin.
Only a white mark appeared on his skin, and it immediately disappeared.
“It seems that ordinary Magic Tools can no longer hurt me!” Qin Ming was overjoyed, and a sense of Safety arose spontaneously.
More importantly, the ‘Glazed Treasure Armor’ possessed the effect of Spell-Breaking.
“The Fifth Layer is so powerful! The Power described in this Scripture is actually all true!”
“I have completed the cultivation of the first five layers of the 《Hundred Treasures Glazed Scripture》, it seems that I need to get the remaining four layers of the Cultivation Technique from Fellow Daoist Ruan as soon as possible.”
Qin Ming felt his Strength increase greatly, and he couldn’t help but look forward to the Cultivation Technique behind.
He could break through so quickly, mainly because of the powerful Blood Essence Amplification brought by the Blood Locust Rice.
Otherwise, with the Spirit Materials required by the 《Hundred Treasures Glazed Scripture》, it was unknown how long it would take to reach this Cultivation Realm.
Qin Ming’s heart was filled with joy.
After a wash.
Qin Ming’s whole body’s Blood Qi returned to being Reserved and Hidden.
His skin was still the same as a Spirit Farmer’s, slightly with a malt color.
But the entire person’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit was completely different from before. Temperament Reserved, but his Gaze was full of vigor.
“Now, I can be considered to have a little self-protection ability in this chaotic Cultivation World.”
“Is this the first Trump Card I’ve had in so many years since I came to the Cultivation World?”
“Sigh, it’s really not easy.”
Qin Ming’s feeling of tension, which had been Enveloped by the Bandit Cultivators’ appearance in the previous days, decreased a lot.
The whole person’s tense nerves were also relieved.
There were still two months left.
The Beast Fang Rice in Qin Ming’s Spirit Field was about to Mature.
At that time, not only could he exchange for the remaining Cultivation Technique of 《Hundred Treasures Glazed Scripture》.
He could also Ascend to a First Rank Low-Grade Spirit Plant Master.
From now on, he could enjoy the Spirit Feather Sect’s Spirit Rice Taxes reduced by half.
Not only would his Status among the Spirit Farmers increase greatly.
And he would also increase a considerable Income of Spirit Rice.
However, to Ascend to a First Rank Spirit Plant Master, he would also need to pass an assessment of the Spirit Plant Master knowledge within the Sect.
As for the Success of Cultivating a First-Rank Spirit Plant, he had already Cultivated Beast Fang Rice and Yin Condensation Flower.
These had all been registered and reported by the Registrar of the Spirit Feather Sect.
Now, only the assessment of Spirit Plant knowledge remained.
Qin Ming still intended to strive for a First Rank Spirit Plant Master.
After all, with this sign, there would be all sorts of conveniences in his future Cultivation Life.
After the Body Refining breakthrough, Qin Ming had no Follow-up Cultivation Technique.
He could only wait patiently for the Beast Fang Rice to Mature in two months.
During this Time.
Qin Ming frantically supplemented his Spirit Plant knowledge, preparing for the Assessment.
Besides, he was also learning Alchemy.
He also bought a small Alchemy Furnace from Shopkeeper Liao and tried to refine a few batches of basic Pills.
All ended in failure.
“It seems that without guidance, it won’t work just by reading books,” Qin Ming stared at the black Alchemy materials in the furnace and sighed helplessly.
Alchemy really depends on Talent, and he was also mediocre in this aspect.
It seemed that he could only wait until later, when he could Cultivate Spirit Grasses in large quantities, and use Experience to accumulate.
Hopefully, when the Yin Condensation Flower Matures, Master Su can give him some guidance.
