Cultivation Starting from Full Talent

Chapter 74: Chapter 72: True Yang Furnace Technique, Perfect!

Late at night, Qiongbi Peak.

A solitary figure arrived outside the Spiritual Field Courtyard no. 77, clad in the dark blue elder clothes of the Outer Sect, it was Xu Ning.

“Junior Brother Ning… Junior Brother Ning, are you there?”

Xu Ning’s voice was slightly hoarse, his whole state extremely poor as if he had just weathered a storm.

The Small Cloud Mist Array dispersed.

Ning Daoran, also dressed in the elder clothes of the Outer Sect, casually said with Big Stupid Deer by his side, “What brings Senior Brother Xu here?”

“I’ve specifically come to congratulate Junior Brother on your Foundation Establishment…”

Xu Ning furrowed his brows, squeezing out a few words through his teeth.

“If that’s the case, then please come in.”

Ning Daoran turned and went to the sitting room, taking a seat on the floor but did not serve tea.

“I am here to congratulate Junior Brother on the success of your Foundation Establishment… this is a small token from your elder brother.”

Xu Ning slowly pushed forward a storage bag with no prohibitions placed on it, and also took out a fist-sized beast bone shield.

The surface of the beast bone shield was lustrous and crystal clear, pulsating with an extremely powerful mana aura.

A second-order high-grade spiritual artifact, this beast bone shield was a treasure that Xu Ning had accumulated over many years, nearly depleting all his savings at an auction to acquire it.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Ning Daoran found there were also four thousand spirit stones in the storage bag.

The beast bone shield was worth roughly between three to four thousand spirit stones, plus the four thousand in the storage bag, this was likely more than seventy percent of the entire foundation of Xu Ning as an Outer Sect Elder.

Nobody in the world would give away their fortune as a congratulatory gift.

Ning Daoran understood; this was surely related to the eldest sister and that high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill.

“I accept your gift.”

With a flick of his sleeve, he took all the spiritual artifacts and spirit stones, then stood up and said, “Old Lu, see our guest off.”

“Ao ao~~~”

Big Stupid Deer got up, standing erect.

“Junior Brother Ning…”

Xu Ning’s face was pale as he said, “I hope that in the future, we…”

“Senior Brother Xu, there’s no need to say more.”

Ning Daoran replied indifferently, “Between you and me, all debts and grudges are now settled.”

His implication was clear; the gift was accepted, the enmity set aside for the moment, no more grievances between them, nor any further association.

“Yes!”

Xu Ning braced himself, “I wish Fellow Daoist Ning everlasting prosperity on the Immortal Path. I take my leave now.”

“Fellow Daoist, take care. No need to see you out.”

Ning Daoran watched him leave with a slightly complex expression.

Consider it a face given to the eldest sister, and also to avoid the bad name of in-fighting among sect members.

Of course, it would be best if Senior Brother Xu didn’t fall into his hands again, or else Ning Daoran would be quite willing to give him a shove on his journey.

…

The next morning.

“Old Lu, get to work!”

Early in the day, the courtyard number 77 was lively, a man and a deer getting busy with spirited labor!

First, they harvested a batch of Green Bamboo Spirit Rice in the yard, then after two spells, Ning Daoran and Big Stupid Deer appeared inside the vine ball where the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven was located.

They cleared the wild land and carved out roughly five acres of spirit field within the Grotto Heaven.

One acre was dedicated to growing Green Bamboo Spirit Rice, the harvesting of Refining Time must not stop.

After that, Ning Daoran transferred all the spiritual medicines from the ground level Spirit Medicine Room to the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, moreover, that one-meter-tall Mystic Frost Tree was also moved into the vine ball.

With this transfer of spirit plants nurtured by the Grass and Tree Holy Spirit into the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven completed, Ning Daoran placed numerous prohibitions on the exterior of this grotto heaven treasure, making it fundamentally impossible for others to investigate.

From now on, he could truly cultivate spirit rice without any worries!

In addition, Ning Daoran also incorporated Divine Soul Mark of Big Stupid Deer into the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven. With this, Big Stupid Deer could freely enter the Grotto Heaven, ensuring that the spirit rice and spiritual medicines would not lack care when Ning Daoran was in secluded cultivation.

Within the Grotto Heaven, under an old willow tree.

Ning Daoran fanned himself, wiping the sweat from his forehead, his heart brimming with ambition.

Such space class treasure, this Spirit Garden Cave Heaven is far superior to a storage bag!

A storage bag could only store inanimate objects, whereas inside the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, not only could he cultivate spirit plants but also build houses, and even, if he could find a way to expand the space, he could breed spirit fish, spiritual sheep, spiritual birds, and so on.

Thanks to the eldest sister, life was getting more and more comfortable!

…

Several days later, Ning Daoran decided to claim the inheritance techniques for Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Sect.

In the Chaotic Sect, any disciple that achieved Foundation Establishment could go to the Inner Sect Hall and claim one of the three complete cultivation techniques: True Yang Furnace Technique, Alchemy Scripture, or Purple Cloud Sword Technique. There were no barriers for those who had established their foundation.

It was said that this rule was set by the ancestors of Chaotic Sect themselves.

Breaking the barriers of True Inheritances and personal transmissions, as long as disciples of the Chaotic Sect found a way to achieve Foundation Establishment, they could cultivate the top Absolute Skills of the Chaotic Sect!

It was probably because of this rule that the Chaotic Sect in Qingzhou remained undefeated and had not broken its lineage for thousands of years.

Inner Sect Hall.

An Inner Sect deacon smiled and said, “What brings Junior Brother Ning to the Inner Hall?”

“To receive a Cultivation Technique.”

Ning Daoran took out his Identity Jade Token and said, “Senior brother, please help me register. I would like to receive a copy of the True Yang Furnace Technique.”

Among the three Absolute Skills of the Chaotic Sect, Ning Daoran had lost interest in the Alchemy Scripture… with the physical strength to toss bricks, relying on an abundance of Spiritual Medicine, he could cultivate his alchemy to the point of perfection.

As for the Purple Cloud Sword Technique, he didn’t fancy it much either; he preferred the swift and sure delight of combat with his Azure Dragon Spear. As for dueling, with Evergreen Technique and various Magic Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts, there was not much of a problem.

Therefore, the Technique he needed the most at the moment was actually the True Yang Furnace Technique. Its power far surpassed the Flame Sun Skill; it was a true ‘Wash the marrow and change the meridians’ Treasure Skill.

Moreover, with the Eleventh Layer Evergreen Technique as the foundation, the power he could display with the True Yang Furnace Technique would be even more terrifying!

“Junior Brother Ning!”

This deacon brother immediately turned serious and said, “Junior brother, you’re young and outstanding and have no Daoist couple yet, right? Do you really want to choose the True Yang Furnace Technique? Listen to your senior brother’s advice, don’t regret it…”

The cultivation of the True Yang Furnace Technique required Pure Yang, and one must maintain the innocence of a child. Otherwise, once the Primordial Yang was released, the True Yang Power would also vanish like a flood through a break in a dike.

“I’ve thought it through.”

Ning Daoran said, “I’ve already devoted this life to the Immortal Path; how can I promise it to some unrelated woman?”

The deacon brother expressed solemn respect, “Junior brother’s heart toward the Dao is truly admirable!”

Speaking, he took Ning Daoran’s Identity Jade Token, left a mark on the Spirit Scroll, and then issued a Sound Transmission Talisman. Not long after, a figure descended from the True Yang Peak of the Inner Sect; it was the Great Elder, Gongyang Yan.

“Ning, catch!”

Gongyang Yan threw a Cultivation Technique Jade Scroll that had a complete copy of the True Yang Furnace Technique, and chuckled, “At a glance, I knew you were excellent material for cultivating the True Yang Furnace Technique. Go back and cultivate slowly; if you have any questions, come to True Yang Peak and ask me.”

“Thank you, Great Elder!”

Ning Daoran nodded happily.

He was rather eager. Having long coveted the True Yang Furnace Technique, he now finally had it in his grasp and was somewhat impatient to begin.

…

Qiongbi Peak, courtyard number 77.

In the secret chamber, twenty feet underground.

The Small Green Bamboo Array, the Small Cloud Mist Array, and the dozens of Prohibitions covering the surface were all activated. Although Ning Daoran had already achieved Foundation Establishment, his heart yearned for stability and had not wavered an inch.

Don’t think that just because you’ve reached Foundation Establishment, you can rise rapidly in the Cultivation World. It’s just an entry-level achievement.

In the future, he would do his best to reduce his presence in the Sect, and never participate in any show-off events if possible. Quietly farming and raising fish in the Qiongbi Peak’s quiet courtyard, in a few more years, people would probably forget he existed.

If no one in the world remembers you, then you are incomparably safe!

He sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and poured nearly ten thousand years of Refining Time into the True Yang Furnace Technique.

[First year, you looked down at the dense cultivation records of the True Yang Furnace Technique with excitement in your heart, but after a year, your cultivation had not improved in the slightest.]

[Thirty-third year, with repeated attempts to operate the True Yang Furnace Technique, you finally felt a hint of warmth in your Dantian, like a flame, growing stronger.]

[True Yang Furnace Technique. Mid Dark Rank (Entry-level)]

[One hundred and sixty-second year, with the autumn wind sweeping through the courtyard and countless leaves swirling, you stood, and your body was like a blazing furnace, transforming Essence Qi into fiery power, and your body was being tempered and refined.]

[Three hundred and thirtieth year, after three hundred years of perseverance, your body showed signs of aging, but the True Yang Fire inside burned ever fiercer.]

[True Yang Furnace Technique. Mid Dark Rank (Small Accomplishment)]

[One thousand and six years, after a millennium of cultivation, the mana of the True Yang Furnace Technique began to stagnate, and you touched a bottleneck that vanished in a flash, leaving you feeling soulless.]

[Three thousand six hundred and fifty-four years, you were like an old furnace. The women from across the street at the brothel looked at you with extra heat in their eyes. Waking up in the middle of the night, you groaned and wished you could storm into the brothel opposite and take care of all those troublesome beauties.]

[A streak of Spirit Light burst in your heart, and you constantly reminded yourself not to indulge. You wanted to cultivate to perfection with the True Yang Furnace Technique; you wanted to pursue cultivation!]

[True Yang Furnace Technique. Mid Dark Rank (Great Success)]

“Sigh…”

Ning Daoran took a deep breath. At that moment, his body was churning with abundant True Yang Fire Power, and his physique was being transformed by the refinement of Great Success Level True Yang Furnace Technique’s power.

There was still Refining Time available, and he was determined to achieve Perfect level in one go!

[Eight thousand four hundred years, you found a subterranean ice spring, and sitting within the thick ice layer, you meditated for thousands of years, looking withered, yet your body remained scorching hot, with countless voices echoing in your ears saying you need a woman. No, not one—you needed twenty!]

[Twelve thousand four hundred years, your life began to turn dull. Sitting in the ice spring, your mind filled only with thoughts of women and pleasure, but you suppressed these evil thoughts with your strong will, focusing solely on the pursuit of cultivation.]

[You thought back to your high school female deskmate, the morning sunlight falling on her face during early readings; she was the love of your life. Suddenly, you remembered that what you aspired for was pure love; how could you let evil thoughts bewitch you?]

[Your heart suddenly became illuminated, your whole body was burning with passion, and the moment you stood up, countless True Yang Intense Flames exploded, melting the entire ice spring.]

[True Yang Furnace Technique. Mid Dark Rank (Perfect)]@@novelbin@@

[Refining Time remaining: Two thousand five hundred and eighty-two years.]

…

Ning Daoran opened his eyes and slowly stood up, operating the Perfect Level True Yang Furnace Technique, and instantly his whole body seemed to turn into a furnace, igniting the endless Wood Attribute Spiritual Power of the Evergreen Technique into pure True Yang Fierce Fire!

Beneath his skin was a fiery red; at that moment, Ning Daoran clearly felt that his mana had far surpassed what it should have been at the Early-stage Foundation Establishment.

If the mana of the Perfect Level True Yang Furnace Technique were to be infused into the Azure Dragon Spear for a surprise assassination… the scene would surely be a sight to behold!
