I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 291: Chapter 257: Reviewing the Gains

[Congratulations, your Cloud Mushroom Grass Bloodline has been upgraded to level 7]

In the guest room of the Xie Family, Jiang Yuebai opened her eyes after secluded cultivation for seven days, thoroughly adapting to the changes brought by the enhancement of the Cloud Mushroom Grass Bloodline once more.

The Little Ganoderma on her head has indeed grown larger again; if it weren’t for her thick hair, it would be hard to cover it.

Additionally, the Vine Bracelet obtained from the Ancient Rong Maze fused with her during this bloodline enhancement.

At this moment, a White Vine encircled around her Wood Dao Platform, and she now didn’t know whether she was a grass or a vine, with Ganoderma growing on the vine, light and pure, like clouds and mist.

White Vine, White Leaves, White Cloud Mushroom, they look quite beautiful.

Seeing the vine, Jiang Yuebai recalled the Grass and Wood Law she had understood earlier: for survival and growth, grass and wood can perfectly plunder and integrate the superior traits of other categories of vegetation.

Plundering is the essence of the Path of Grass and Wood, and Jiang Yuebai felt her understanding of the ”Immortal Grass Scripture” deepening.

Jiang Yuebai sat cross-legged on the bed and extended a hand. With a thought, White Leaves and White Vine grew rapidly from her fingertips. Through this vine, her perception, attraction, and manipulation of nature’s spiritual energy were more harmonious and sensitive than when using Divine Sense.

With a wave of her hand, Ganoderma Spore Powder similar to pollen dispersed from her hand, capable of activating the little demon techniques of pollen and parasitism.

Also, the great demon technique, ”One Tree Becomes a Forest,” modified to ”One Vine Becomes a Forest,” could almost be used once now.

The power is surely quite terrifying, really wanting to try it on a few unwary people.

Besides these external changes, the recovery ability and purification capability brought by the bloodline have greatly improved.

Jiang Yuebai conducted some minor tests; unless a limb was severed or internal organs shattered, any injury she sustained could now self-heal, with the recovery speed depending on her own Wood Spirit Qi reserves.

If there wasn’t enough Wood Spirit Qi, having a large amount of forest around her would also speed up the recovery.

Her resistance to various poisons had also greatly increased; unless they were extremely poisonous specifically towards grass and wood, she could basically be as impervious to toxins as Xie Jingshan.

Lastly, her blood began to exhibit medicinal properties, capable of detoxifying and healing, with potency surpassing commonly used elixirs at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

”Why do I feel like I’m turning into a Ginseng Treasure, sooner or later being soaked into wine by someone.”

Jiang Yuebai felt both joy and worry, raised her hand to wrap the Little Ganoderma with her hair, inserted a jade hairpin to conceal the demon energy, and glanced at the Immortal Cultivation Panel.

After reviewing it, Jiang Yuebai roughly summed up her current situation.

The ”Fire Refining Sky Secret Scripture” Foundation Establishment Chapter has reached the Sixth Layer, mastering six types of fire element runes that can be directly activated.

This aspect is very similar to talismanic cultivators specializing in Talisman Technique, transforming oneself into talismanic paper, using secret techniques and heavenly materials and earthly treasures to refine runes on oneself, which can be instantly activated during battle.

The ”Fire Refining Sky Secret Scripture” strengthens the body as this ’talismanic paper’ through Body Refining Method, using special fire spiritual energy to engrave fire talismans, which is much superior and simpler than the talismanic cultivator’s method.

Once this method breaks through to the Seventh Layer, she can enter the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment. During previous cultivation, it became increasingly difficult as she progressed, and she couldn’t improve her skill level with every internal energy circulation.

Now, the barrier from Mid-Stage to Late-Stage Foundation Establishment has been crossed by understanding law fragments in the Xuanming Battlefield, enhancing cultivation efficiency without further hindrance, only needing spiritual energy accumulation.

However, between the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment and Peak Foundation Establishment, she must quickly complete the Five Elements and resume ”Five Elements Returning to Truth Skill”.

This is best suited for her, not wasting the advantage of her five spirit roots as the Core Formation Method, so the challenge lies ahead.

The progress of ”Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique” is more than halfway completed, having tempered 126 bones in four limbs. Next, she plans to first temper the two small ganoderma on her head, making them impervious to anything coming to bite.

The ”Immortal Grass Scripture” requires upgrading to 500,000 skill level, which is needed for bloodline level 8, and estimated to reach 1 million for level 9.

Unlike the 600,000 needed for the ”Fire Refining Sky Secret Scripture”, which could be fulfilled by daily cultivation or absorbing spirit stones and spiritual objects over time.

The ”Immortal Grass Scripture” can only improve through plundering spirit plants, requiring 50 ten thousand years spirit plants, Jiang Yuebai now especially misses the Ancient Rong Demon in the maze, but the next meeting is still fifty years away.

Before reaching Peak Foundation Establishment, she has to gather 150 ten-thousand-year spirit plants, but they are rare for even a thousand-year one would require 1500.

Jiang Yuebai couldn’t help but wonder, if the ”Immortal Grass Scripture” can truly plunder from heaven and earth...

”Perhaps finding a way to earn more spirit stones and purchasing directly is more reliable.”

Her talisman making and alchemy have reached the limit of Foundation Establishment stage, with Array Dao and Puppetry Path having the potential to reach Seventh Grade with more effort.

Once Kongfang City resumes normal order, she plans to register these grades at the guild and acquire guild tokens to affiliate with businesses, or obtain external orders through the guild, expanding her income sources.

”If time wasn’t tight right now, she really wanted to learn Artifact Refining as well... but she’ll hold off until after Core Formation when longevity is secured, then learn.”

Regarding spells, advancing past the third layer becomes challenging, requiring gradual accumulation, and cannot be hurried.

Among them, the demon technique was directly learned through enlightenment, and demon techniques aren’t bound by grades, only divided into little demon and great demon techniques.

Demon techniques consume demonic power, and their strength relates to the intensity of the Divine Soul and Divine Sense.

Since demon techniques invoke Heaven and Earth Power, which is infinite and relies only on the extent of manipulation between elements and forces.

The ”Five Ghosts Scripture” is a Soul Vein Cultivation Technique obtained earlier in the Land of Azure Flame from the Ghost Clan, consisting of functional methods.

Among them, the ”Five Ghosts Shifting Technique” had been used in the Chaotian Domain to save Moh Baichun, while others were rarely used, with the five ghosts needed stored within the Little Green Lantern.

Jiang Yuebai holds no bias against cultivation methods, always believing that methods are merely tools, with good and evil residing in the heart.

Therefore, regarding Lu Nanzhi, she never felt they had to part ways simply because Lu Nanzhi followed the Demon Dao, siding right against wrong.

She believed separation was temporary, and in the future would certainly reunite, fighting alongside for a common cause.

Their friendship wouldn’t be affected by any notion of right or wrong paths, this she felt, and so did Lu Nanzhi.

Thinking of Lu Nanzhi, Jiang Yuebai felt somewhat bitter, swiftly taking a deep breath to suppress her emotions, and continued sorting through the items obtained in the maze.

There were those she collected herself and others snatched from others; time in the maze was tight, leaving no time for careful examination.

After sifting through, besides the barely worthwhile spirit grass and the useless elixir and talismans, and some low-level magical artifacts, Jiang Yuebai picked out a few items.

Five-Colored Beads obtained from Eight-Armed Vajra, the face of Eight-Armed Vajra, two Soul-Shaking Stones, two Elixir Bottles, an Elixir Formula, a Puppet Diagram, an umbrella, and a strand of Primordial Turtle Pill Fire.
