Cultivation Starting from Full Talent

Chapter 75: Chapter 73: Nothing Special!

One month later.

Dawn.

From a Cave Mansion in one of the main peaks of Chaotic Sect, a person emerged, precisely Lin Zhuojun.

His face was pale as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, and he looked exceptionally weak.

The hundred-day Foundation Establishment had only lasted a month before he left the cave; his Foundation Establishment had already failed.

“Senior Brother Lin…”

A junior sister looked at him, disbelief in her eyes.

In the Inner Sect, Lin Zhuojun had a good reputation, and he possessed a rather superior Spirit Root. Logically, his Foundation Establishment should have been stable. Who would have thought that he would fail?

Foundation Establishment, being the first major threshold for cultivation, was indeed as difficult as ascending to the heavens, and most cultivators were stopped at this door.

“Sister, I’m okay.”

Lin Zhuojun showed a bitter smile; he naturally knew where he had failed.

Blood Qi, Mana, Divine Sense— he hadn’t been fully prepared in these three aspects, and there was also a problem with his mental state. The incident involving Ning Daoran in Cangnan Secret Realm had kept his thoughts from being clear.

This attempt at Foundation Establishment wasted the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill given by the sect. To attempt Foundation Establishment again, he would now need to utilize the family’s resources to obtain another pill.

Moreover, Lin Zhuojun was not young anymore; he was already fifty years old, and the prospects for another Foundation Establishment were not very high.

He returned to his Cave Mansion, dispirited and no longer as vibrant as before.

…

Qiongbi Peak.

The backyard fish pond.

“Little Blackie!”

Ning Daoran, as usual, went to the fish pond and threw two Blood Strengthening Pills.

The big black fish leaped out of the water and swallowed them in one gulp, its tail wagging wildly, almost flatteringly.

At this point, the big black fish had grown nearly five meters long; its head emerging from the water was at least two meters long, giving it the feel of a massive creature.

“Uncle!”

In the courtyard, a little girl in a floral dress dashed out and said, “I just heard a message from the main peak; that Lin Zhuojun, who once traveled with you, has failed his Foundation Establishment.”

“Oh?”

Ning Daoran furrowed his brows. He knew of Lin Zhuojun’s background as a core disciple in the Inner Sect and also that he was tasked with reviving the glory of a Golden Core family, with a rather firm Daoist heart.

It was unexpected that someone like Lin Zhuojun would fail at Foundation Establishment.

“Chen Weimo, have you been keeping up with your cultivation lately? You seem so interested in these minor gossips in the sect.”

“Uncle…”

The little girl immediately acted sheepishly, fidgeting with her dress hem, “Well, Uncle, you’re the Peak Master of Qiongbi Peak now, and I’ve been appointed as the manager, so I have to patrol the Spirit field every day and inevitably hear some news from the Spirit farmers.”

“I see, but don’t make this a habit. Focus on your cultivation.”

“Yes!”

The little girl immediately stood at attention, turned around, and went upstairs to meditate.

Ning Daoran then checked the Green Bamboo Spirit Rice in the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven.

With the enhancement from 10 points of the Grass and Tree Holy Spirit talent, the cultivation speed had indeed increased, but the total amount of refined Time he garnered hadn’t changed.

It seemed there was a threshold set by the system for refining Time; it was roughly one year of cultivation for ten thousand years of refined Time, no more.

Well, it was enough anyway.

…

Deep into the night.

Despite the lack of refined Time, Ning Daoran was still practicing the True Yang Furnace Technique in his small courtyard. He slowly shifted his stance, his skin becoming translucent and flushed, his body appearing as if it had turned into a furnace.

Soon after, he was drenched in sweat.

“Hmm, something’s not quite right…”

Frowning, he noticed his craving for the opposite sex had been growing stronger over the past few days, to the point where even seeing Chen Weimo, the girl he watched grow up, stirred feelings!

“Smack!”

He slapped himself!

‘Ning Daoran, you beast, are you even human?’

He suppressed his impure thoughts through moral self-discipline.

But it seemed to have little effect.

As the Great Elder had said, practicing the True Yang Furnace Technique was incredibly challenging and tested one’s willpower immensely. When deeply embroiled in this practice, even the sight of a sow might seem appealing.

Apparently, the senior brothers of True Yang Peak had all gone through this; after their practice sessions, they all craved female company.

Hence, female disciples never visited True Yang Peak; stepping into its domain dangerously heightened their risk exponentially!

Looking across the entire sect, only the Great Elder had mastered the True Yang Furnace Technique to a Great Success, while others merely reached a Small Accomplishment, yet even then, all the disciples felt restless at night…

And for someone like Ning Daoran, who had perfected his practice, the test of willpower was even more unimaginable.

‘Fuck…’

Ning Daoran was speechless. Fortunately, he had not followed some other senior brothers who, right after Foundation Establishment, immediately took some Spirit Root possessing concubines.

This way, when there was nothing else to do, the concubines would manage the Cave Mansion, and when there were matters, they would manage the concubines instead, creating a supposedly harmonious atmosphere.

“Oh, this definitely won’t do…”

Ning Daoran frowned further, his mind filled with thoughts of women. How was he supposed to cultivate?

He immediately dashed into the underground chamber, took out a piece of high-quality Talisman Paper, and grabbed the Talisman pen he had previously bought at a high price, intending to practice his Talisman skill. Drawing from memory, he fervently painted!

Soon, a scroll depicting a group of muscular, braided eunuchs, twelve in total, each flamboyantly posturing and infused with the power of the Evergreen Technique so lifelike they seemed to sway.

One could faintly hear the eunuchs coyly shouting phrases like “come play!”

‘Fuck…’

Ning Daoran instantly felt refreshed. Brilliant! His brush did indeed bring forth life!

He took a deep breath and decided to carry this “Steel Eunuch Girl Group” painting with him, naming it “Guardian of Chastity.”

…

The next evening.

A figure arrived at Qiongbi Peak— an Inner Sect Disciple from True Yang Peak.

“Is Martial Uncle Ning here?”

“Yes.”

Ning Daoran opened up the Small Cloud Mist Array, “What brings my nephew here?”

“I heard Martial Uncle Ning is also practicing the True Yang Furnace Technique. Coincidentally, Master decided to take us down the mountain today to sharpen our Daoist hearts at the Zuihua Brothel in the workshop area. He sent me to ask if Uncle would like to join?”

“Refine the Daoist heart?”

Ning Daoran furrowed his brows, feeling it was essential to participate. First, he rarely joined the Sect’s team-building activities; second, by attending, he would give face to the Great Elder Gongyang Yan, making this an opportune moment to build connections.

“Alright, I’ll be right there.”@@novelbin@@

“Yes, disciple will go and report back!”

Soon after, Ning Daoran rode on a Green Bamboo Leaf, accompanied by Big Stupid Deer, to True Yang Peak.

Great Elder Gongyang Yan, with his youthful face and silver hair, watched a group of disciples with a face glowing red, and chuckled, “A bunch of good-for-nothing youngsters, today Zuihua Brothel has brought a female cultivator well-versed in Bewitching Techniques. I’ll take you there to broaden your horizons!

If you can withstand even her light song and dance, then even if you perfect the True Yang Furnace Technique, you won’t encounter any errors in cultivation afterward.”

“Yes, Master!”

People controlled their Magic Artifacts and descended the mountain.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Ning Daoran could have transformed into a Tunneling Light which was even faster with the Speed enhancement from the Wind Riding Leisurely Technique, perhaps even several times faster than the Great Elder’s light. However, since he was taking Big Stupid Deer to enjoy the spectacle, he chose to use a Flying Artifact.

…

At the bottom of the mountain in Yellow Dragon Square.

Zuihua Brothel, a brothel filled with light song and elegant dance.

“Ah, look, the Immortal Masters from the Chaotic Sect are here!”

The old brothel keeper, holding a fan, had an age-defiant charm and immediately pressed her bosom against the Great Elder’s sturdy chest.

“Hmph!”

The Great Elder scoffed coldly, immune to such mundane seduction with his Daoist heart unaffected.

“Old Brothel Keeper, is Miss Qin ready?”

“She is, she’s on the third floor, waiting for the gentlemen.”

“Lead the way!”

“Yes!”

People ascended to the third floor where a stunning beauty in vibrant attire knelt in a vast private room, her eyes brimming with allure.

She was a Mid-Stage Qi Refinement female cultivator who practiced a kind of Bewitching Technique, her every smile and frown possessed an entrancing charm.

“Everyone, take a seat.”

The Great Elder motioned with his hand, “Sit a bit further away from Miss Qin, do not interfere with her dancing.”

“Yes, Martial Uncle!”

Gongyang Yan took an extra look at Ning Daoran and grinned, “Ning, how is the True Yang Furnace Technique?”

“It is indeed a peerless Divine Skill, I’ve just started.”

“Heh, starting is good!”

The Great Elder clapped softly, “Everyone, be seated properly. Alright, Miss Qin, you may begin.”

“Yes!”

The woman slowly performed a courtesy, and with a pipa in her arms, she began to play and dance gracefully in the center.

In an instant, her slender waist and long legs, along with the exposed contours and deep valleys of her bosom, caused pulses to race.

She was a female cultivator, and her esoteric Bewitching Technique made her even more captivating!

Suddenly, many disciples from True Yang Peak showed eyes full of desire, almost wishing to rush forward and engage her in an intense battle!

The Great Elder’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, maintaining the demeanor of a revered senior, showing no peculiarities.

Ning Daoran and Big Stupid Deer sat side by side, eyes wide open with admiration.

“Boom boom boom~~~”

At that moment, two other female cultivators played the drums, enhancing the enchantment together with Miss Qin’s swaying, literally unleashing a finishing move!

This kind of “light song and elegant dance” was irresistible to most men, let alone to those who had cultivated the True Yang Furnace Technique and were vibrant with vigor like these men who had to cover their backs whenever a sow passed!

After the dance, Miss Qin gracefully retreated, her eyes filled with mirth.

“Not bad.”

The Great Elder responded casually, a strand of pure Spiritual Power shattered and evaporated the blood trickling from his nostril, holding onto his reputation as the Peak Master of True Yang Peak.

“Hmph, just this!”

One True Disciple wiped his nosebleed, his eyes rebellious.

“Indeed, just this!”

“Exactly!”

Ning Daoran also wiped a nosebleed, “Just this!”

“Aoaoao~~~”

Big Stupid Deer also wiped a nosebleed.

Thereafter, amidst laughter and cheerful conversations, the crowd engaged in a lengthy discussion for nearly an hour before they stood to leave.

…

True Yang Peak.

“Great Elder.”

Ning Daoran suddenly called out to the Great Elder who was about to return to his Cave Mansion, and said mysteriously, “Thanks to the Sect’s grace, I have finally learned the long-desired True Yang Furnace Technique.

After learning it, I realized how profound this technique is. Luckily I studied the Danqing Skill in my childhood and drew a basic map which could help mitigate the backlash from the True Yang Furnace Technique. I would like to offer it to the Great Elder.”

“Oh?”

The Great Elder turned swiftly, “Master Ning, what is this map?”

Ning Daoran produced the Guardian of Chastity.

The Great Elder just glanced at it and instantly felt invigorated, exclaiming in awe, “This… what’s the origin of this map?”

“I originally named it the Guardian of Chastity.”

Ning Daoran pondered and said, “But I feel the name doesn’t match its actual effectiveness, thus I plan to rename it to Basic Map of the Guardian of Chastity!”

“Brilliant!”

The Great Elder showed affection.

Ning Daoran knew in his heart, “I’ll give this map to the Great Elder for his appreciation. I can draw another one for myself.”

“That would be great!”

The Great Elder, not a petty man, immediately pulled out a fiery red feather from his Storage Bag, saying, “This is a Second-stage Late-stage True Feather from the Phoenix Clan, a treasure for refining top-grade spiritual tools. Since you also cultivate the True Yang Furnace Technique, I’ll give it to you.”

…

The next day, Yellow Dragon Square.

Wen Family’s Refining Workshop.

Ning Daoran took a deep breath as he stepped into this long-missed refining workshop.
