Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

He was eager to further practice several superior magic techniques.

However, superior magic techniques are not obtained easily.

”I, Liu, focus on practicing magic techniques, and it’s the quality, not the quantity!”

”Hmm? You mean you’ve only practiced those two magic techniques?” Bai Cailin said in surprise.

”What’s wrong with that?”

”This...” Bai Cailin was momentarily dazed.

A moment later, as the mountain breeze blew, Bai Cailin came back to her senses.

She looked around and sighed to herself, ”Forget it, let’s proceed.”

At the same time, she waved her hand, and a piece of soft jade flew out from the storage pouch, expanding with the wind, growing to a size of three zhang square in no time.

It appeared like a giant soft bed at the top of the barren mountain.

She then closed her eyes, seemingly losing all her strength, and lay down on the soft jade, looking like she was at someone else’s mercy.

”...” Li Ji’an raised an eyebrow, a slight smile crossing his face.

He then reminded her, ”Fulfill the bet quickly!”

”Hmm?” Bai Cailin suddenly opened her eyes, then turned her head in confusion to look at the back facing her.

”You wouldn’t...”

Whoosh~ In an instant, Bai Cailin blushed with embarrassment, staring incredulously at Li Ji’an’s back and hurriedly putting away the soft jade bed in shame and anger.

Does he really not want me?

”You! What do you want?” Realizing she had once again overestimated the value of her body, Bai Cailin was infuriated and ashamed.

”The spiritual talent for your Spiritual Crane’s condensing demon pill.” Li Ji’an replied without hesitation.

”Hmm? You...”

”You gave up the opportunity to possess me for your toad?” Bai Cailin was even more astonished.

Li Ji’an frowned slightly, turned to look at Bai Cailin, and said sternly, ”Fulfill the bet!”

”Fine! Fine, I’ll remember you for this!” Bai Cailin took several deep breaths and declared firmly.

”There’s no need!” Li Ji’an remained unmoved.

Bai Cailin gave Li Ji’an a fierce look, ”This time my Spiritual Crane’s advance to Tier Three wasn’t due to a specific spiritual talent but a secret technique for demon beast pill condensation!”

”Pill Condensation Secret Technique?” Li Ji’an’s heart stirred upon hearing this.

Human cultivators establish their foundation, form their core, and have corresponding techniques to aid in the transformation of dantian magical power.

Li Ji’an himself has gone through Foundation Establishment twice and Core Formation once, deeply understanding this.

It’s not that success is impossible without the appropriate technique, but techniques can provide support.

Even among Celestial Cyan Domain’s Foundation Establishment techniques, those circulating on the streets and those of Biyun Sect’s true disciples are different.

The higher the grade of the technique, the greater the benefit.

However, the promotion of demon beasts relies purely on instinct.

If there were a corresponding technique for condensing demon pills, it would certainly offer support.

”Hand it over!” Li Ji’an reached out impolitely.

Bai Cailin’s eyes condensed, her expression looking bad, but under the threat of the spirit contract, she still took out a jade talisman from the storage pouch.

Before handing it to Li Ji’an, she spoke coldly, ”This is the secret technique traded between Yaochi Commerce Association and the Shadowless Sect, not yet sold outside our association. I can give it to you, but you must swear a blood oath not to spread it.”

”Shadowless Sect?” Li Ji’an’s heart stirred, matching what Wu Weixiong mentioned earlier.

”Alright!” He didn’t hesitate, immediately swearing a blood oath.

”Hmph, don’t let me see you again!” Bai Cailin recognized the jade talisman, turned, and flew away.

Li Ji’an ignored her, extending his divine sense into the jade talisman.

Indeed, it contained a superior demon pill condensation technique from the Beast Taming Sect of ancient times.

Having confirmed the technique, Li Ji’an didn’t hesitate further and quickly returned to Tiger Roar Immortal City.

The delay from the Blood Pool refinement had taken five days, and the magical combat with Bai Cailin another three days. There was little time left for Gugu, and it was urgent to quickly have it comprehend this technique.

Logically, Gugu’s bloodline, now postnatal transformation, approached Earth Grade, and with the aid of the Green Blood Pill, there was a high hope of condensing a demon pill.

However, Li Ji’an could attempt again and again, but Gugu could not, so he hoped Gugu would succeed the first time.

Before long, Li Ji’an returned to Tiger Roar Immortal City.

”Has Fellow Daoist Liu returned?”

”Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Liu!”

”Fellow Daoist Liu truly is a model for us.”

...

As soon as Li Ji’an entered the city, he encountered quite a few people who proactively congratulated him.

He barely knew any of these people.

”Hmm? What’s the occasion for Fellow Daoist Liu’s congratulations?” Until he met the fifth person to congratulate him, Li Ji’an couldn’t help but ask.

Upon asking, Li Ji’an paused.

Soon, he completely understood the reason.

In the Ten Thousand Merchants Domain, the Yaochi Commerce Association mainly deals in business related to women, and is particularly devoted to the embellishment of beauty.

This is why there exists the so-called Floral Register and Fairy List here.

Although it’s a form of hype, it has a clear purpose.

Among them, Bai Cailin is ranked tenth.

The significance of this is not insignificant.

It was precisely because of this that these rumors spread so quickly!

After understanding the whole story, Li Ji’an furrowed his brows slightly, feeling a hint of potential crisis.

He immediately decided to swiftly return to the Jinhua Commerce Association after Gugu successfully condenses the Demon Pill, and not venture out alone until the Flying Crane Dao Discussion ends.

That day, he entered the cave mansion previously rented for Gugu and initiated seclusion together with him.

Time flew by.

Twenty days later, Li Ji’an looked at Gugu who was sitting cross-legged in a manner resembling a human, absorbing the Blood Fiend and Frenzied Spiritual Qi into his body using the Pill Condensation Method.

Then, the Blood Fiend and Frenzied Spiritual Qi circulated within his body through a special route, ultimately gathering at the Demon Core.

The Blood Fiend and Spiritual Qi enveloped the Demon Core, exerting immense pressure on it...

”Not bad!” Li Ji’an finally nodded slightly.

This was the result of twenty days of effort.

Gugu’s heart nature was extraordinary, but his intelligence wasn’t very high. This Demon Pill Condensation Method, which is much simpler compared to the Core Formation Technique of human cultivators, was completed through the first Perfect Circulation only after twenty days under Li Ji’an’s earnest guidance.

”Remember the method just now, when you condense the Demon Pill in three days, use this technique to pressure the Demon Core and attack the Demon Pill!” Li Ji’an pressed his hand on the frog’s head, channeling a bit of nurturing magical power into his brain.

”Gugu~” Gugu, mentally exhausted, responded weakly after slightly recovering under Li Ji’an’s treatment.

Li Ji’an felt a bit helpless; this was just the technique, if he were to teach him the complete Nine Transformations of the True Spirit in the future, he didn’t know how frustrated he would be.

Fortunately, although Gugu wasn’t very smart, he had a good attitude.

Over the following two days, Li Ji’an no longer forced him to comprehend the technique, letting him adjust well.

Until the third day, the agreed day with the Fierce Tiger Commerce Association arrived.

Li Ji’an took Gugu to formally visit.

”Little Friend Liu is indeed a person of integrity.” The old steward of Fierce Tiger Commerce Association nodded with satisfaction upon seeing Li Ji’an.

”A man without trust cannot stand!” Li Ji’an cupped his hands in salute.

”Haha, yes, not bad. Oh, by the way, Little Friend, there’s a rumor going around about you and Bai Girl...” The old steward looked at Li Ji’an cheerfully.

Everyone loves gossip, especially people who are elderly and idle.

This didn’t surprise Li Ji’an.

During the twenty days of seclusion, Wu Yehua had already bombarded him with many messages.

However, he only praised Li Ji’an, excitedly messaging every time as if he himself took Bai Cailin’s Primordial Yin.

Of course, his main focus was targeting his second brother, Wu Chengzhi.

Li Ji’an’s behavior in Wu Yehua’s opinion, was like putting a green hat on his second brother Wu Chengzhi.

Now, it’s not known worldwide, but at least those interested in Bai Cailin are aware of this.

Li Ji’an chuckled helplessly, ”Senior, it’s a misunderstanding. These are all rumors, I am irreconcilable with that woman!”

”Pah! I am irreconcilable with you! Where have you been hiding all these days?” At this moment, a seven-color beautiful figure swiftly appeared within the main hall of Fierce Tiger Commerce Association.

She glared angrily at Li Ji’an, wishing she could flay him alive.

”What does it matter to you?” Li Ji’an replied defiantly.

”What does it matter to me? Now the whole world is spreading rumors that you took my Primordial Yin, I want you to show up to clarify, and you’ve been hiding, now the whole world is aware.” Bai Cailin shouted angrily.

Li Ji’an chuckled lightly, ”What Liu did not do, why fear others’ rumors?”

”You... you... you are surely not afraid, but I am tired of these falsehoods!” Bai Cailin trembled with anger.

”What does it matter to me? Out of the way, don’t delay my spirit pet’s pill condensation.” Li Ji’an snorted coldly, immediately striding towards the high-tier Spirit Beast Cave Mansion of the Fierce Tiger Commerce Association.

”So it’s for your use!” Bai Cailin instantly came to realize, confirming the actual beneficiary of the Green Blood Pill.

”Green Blood Pill plus Demon Pill Condensation Method... the Demon Pill is sure to succeed! Coupled with that frog’s heart nature, hiss~ perhaps it will create another miracle.” At the same time, she instantly calmed down, even carrying a hint of anticipation in her heart.
