It greatly enhanced his cultivation speed and the purity of the Longevity Mana.
Xu Ping speculated that ordinary Longevity Skills definitely wouldn’t have such effects; otherwise, it would have been discovered long ago.
It must be the Minor Achievent level of Longevity Skill that possesses such additional abilities.
Xu Ping carefully sensed the changes in the Mana within his body.
Soon, he discovered that although the Longevity Skill hadn’t broken through, the strength of the Longevity Mana in his Dantian, naly its purity, had slightly increased.
"This Second-stage Longevity Pill is truly surprising!" Xu Ping’s smile could no longer be suppressed.
Given the special condition of the Longevity Skill, he suspected that if he took a second or third Second-stage Longevity Pill, it might still have effects.
There’s a considerable possibility, but it’s unlikely to be as effective as the first one.
"It’s just that Second-stage Longevity Pills are truly rare!" Xu Ping shook his head helplessly.
Despite attending so many auctions, only the underground auction yielded three pills, highlighting the preciousness and rarity of Second-stage Longevity Pills.
"Looks like I’ll need to attend underground auctions frequently and keep an eye on longevity-related precious resources, besides the Longevity Pill." Xu Ping thought to himself.
Taking one Second-stage Longevity Pill yields such exaggerated effects.
If he could consu higher-stage longevity items in the future, stacking them, the effects would surely be more anticipated.
"But for now, staying ho with the ’Soul-Searching Technique’ is the top priority." Xu Ping took a deep breath, suppressing his inner excitent.
Once he planted the Spirit Wood, he would free up his hands to manage other matters.
Xu Ping flipped his palm, and a jade slip suddenly appeared in his hand.
Then, his Divine Sense penetrated into it, starting to study keenly.
...
...
Ti passed as he researched and practiced the ’Soul-Searching Technique.’
A month later.
In the cultivation room.
Xu Ping appeared exhausted but his eyes sparkled with a hint of brilliance.
"Soul-Searching Technique!"
He uttered softly, conjuring a magic technique with both hands, and a cold gleam radiated from his eyes, followed by the spreading of his Divine Sense.
Despite having no target in front, his Divine Sense quickly retracted but he had undoubtedly successfully cast the Soul-Searching Technique once.
He eagerly tapped open the panel.
[Soul-Searching Technique Entry Level: 1/100]
"Soul-Searching Technique... finally entry-level!"
Seeing the clear display on the panel, Xu Ping’s lips curved into a smile, feeling joyous.
The entry to this skill is still very challenging; an ordinary Foundation Establishnt cultivator would find it impossible to achieve entry-level without unique talents, not to ntion with a few months or even half a year’s ti.
Fortunately, his Divine Sense was mighty, and he had experience with practicing secret techniques like ’Shocking God Needle.’
After spending a month, he finally managed to attain the entry level.
"However, with just the entry-level Soul-Searching Technique, it’s still very difficult to Soul Search a Foundation Establishnt cultivator." Xu Ping furrowed his brows slightly.
A mishap could easily result in the loss of the opponent’s Divine Soul and mory.
If it happened to result in missing the mory about planting Spirit Wood, it would be a significant loss.
"To ensure no issues, at least practicing the Soul-Searching Technique to the proficient level is necessary." Xu Ping thought to himself.
With a proficient level Soul-Searching Technique coupled with his powerful Divine Sense, unless he was Soul Searching a cultivator with Divine Sense superior to his own, he could ensure extracting all mories completely.
He had already spent so much ti, a bit more won’t hurt.
Besides, with the panel’s assistance, advancing the Soul-Searching Technique to a proficient level wouldn’t take long.
...
...
Two days later.
Xu Ping carried two jars of the new Hundred Flowers Brew, heading to Little Spark Mountain to visit Gong Yang.
"Elder Xu, my master is refining magical artifacts in the secret chamber; would you like to observe?" a beautiful female Qi Cultivation cultivator respectfully asked.
"Observe?"
Xu Ping mused, although he has panel assistance, his current artifact refining ability certainly couldn’t match Gong Yang’s.
"This wouldn’t disturb Fellow Daoist Gong, would it?" Xu Ping hesitated.
"Not at all, my master specifically instructed that Elder Xu is welco to do so at any ti," the female Qi Cultivation cultivator smiled.
"Alright, please lead the way," Xu Ping nodded, keen to learn from Gong Yang.
"Elder Xu, follow ," the female Qi Cultivation cultivator smiled slightly and led Xu Ping through a long corridor to a stone house.
Even before entering, Xu Ping could feel waves of heat.
"My master is inside; I shall leave for now," the female Qi Cultivation cultivator said with a bow before departing.
Xu Ping stepped into the stone house, instantly engulfed by scorching heat, but with his current physique, such heat was negligible.
His gaze settled on a half-zhang tall demon beast with feathers as red as fire, resembling a First Rank Upper Grade crow, spewing intense flas.
The flas, enhanced by the array, burned even fiercer and hotter.
"This must be Fellow Daoist Gong’s Fire Crow; it’s indeed quite useful."
"However, if it were trained into a Second-stage Demon Beast, it would be even more useful. Perhaps once I buy a demon beast, I could try this approach," Xu Ping thought to himself.
Although buying a Second-stage Demon Beast is exceptionally difficult, training one is not a challenge for him.
Being an Alchemist, coupled with leftover Demon Cores from previous hunts, unless he was exceptionally unlucky, cultivating one or two Second-stage Demon Beasts wouldn’t be a problem.
By then, one could help him with Spirit dicine and Spirit Plant care, and the other could assist in artifact refining; during battles, both demon beasts could aid significantly.
Isn’t that splendid!
As Xu Ping contemplated silently, Gong Yang’s forging process reached its final critical mont.
Buzz!
Accompanied by surging flas, a black shield-like magical artifact abruptly ford in the fire.
