'A Low-Level Restriction? This dicine King Valley... it seems there's more to it than ets the eye.'
As he stepped into the Earth Fla Cave, a searing wave of heat rushed to greet him.
Yang Xiao, however, looked back.
With his Spiritual Power, he could see a transparent screen of light in which a few crimson, tadpole-like runes flickered and pulsed.
The way these runes pulsed seed to follow no pattern.
But to Yang Xiao's eyes, it was riddled with flaws.
With his knowledge and ability, he could easily break through it.
In other words...
'Next ti I want to co in, it'll be much easier. It's just a Low-Level Restriction. I can get through even without a Token.'
Yang Xiao smiled.
He headed deeper into the cave.
He hadn't taken more than a few steps when he sensed an area where the Fire Elental Power was relatively dense.
Lifting his gaze, he saw a fiery red, three-leafed plant.
'To find a Second-level Spirit dicine right after coming in... the environnt here really is excellent.'
Yang Xiao smiled faintly, stepped forward, and picked the three-leafed plant.
A Second-level Spirit dicine was nothing special to him.
But with his dicine Condensation Skill, even a Second-level Spirit dicine was useful, so Yang Xiao plucked it without hesitation.
Besides, dicine King Valley wasn't his Sect.
'It's a rare opportunity to be here. I have to get the most out of it.'
Of course, Yang Xiao didn't just pick every Spirit dicine he saw.
He wouldn't pick those that hadn't matured, even if they were of a higher grade.
The dicinal properties of such a Spirit dicine wouldn't have fully developed.
Picking it would be a reckless waste of a precious resource; plus, it would be of no use to him.
No matter how much Yang Xiao liked and needed Spirit dicines, he would, at most, do things that benefited himself at others' expense.
He would never do sothing that hard others while bringing him no benefit.
Moreover, who knew how long it had been since anyone entered the Earth Fla Cave. So Spirit dicines grew in hidden locations, and Yang Xiao's Spiritual Power was formidable.
It was nearly impossible for any Spirit dicine to escape the scan of his Spiritual Power.
Thus, in just a short while, he had reaped a great harvest.
'Huh? A Fifth-level Spirit dicine up ahead? How long has it been? I've only walked a few miles, haven't I?'
Yang Xiao froze for a mont.
His gaze fell upon a cluster of black rocks. Peeking out from behind them was a strange, purplish-red Spirit dicine.
The Spirit dicine's stem wasn't straight; instead, it was twisted together, resembling a coiling dragon.
And in the "mouth" of this coiling dragon rested a fruit, crimson and so tantalizingly beautiful it seed ready to drip with juice.
It made one want to pluck it on sight.
It was none other than the Red Fla Dragon Fruit, which Yang Xiao had encountered before.
Moreover, whether due to its extre age or the sheer intensity of the Fire Elental Power here, this particular Red Fla Dragon Fruit had actually broken through its original grade limitation.
It had advanced from Level 4 to Level 5.
Truly extraordinary.
Naturally, Yang Xiao pocketed it.
'A Fifth-level Spirit dicine after just a few miles... There must be dozens more miles to go, otherwise I'd never reach the earth's core—not even the outer edges. What will I find next? Could there be a dicine King?'
Yang Xiao's eyes instantly lit up.
Although his Spiritual Power had already reached the Observing Micro High Level, allowing him to refine a King-level Fire Essence Pill and break through to the Yellow Fla Realm...
...if he could easily obtain a dicine King, why would he go to the trouble of refining a pill himself?
Moreover, Yang Xiao suspected that this dicine King might be a spirit dicine from his past life. 'If that's true,' he thought, 'then I have to obtain one, no matter the cost.'
A Spirit dicine from the Ancient Era.
It was nothing like those of the present day.
It possessed true spirituality.
If Yang Xiao absorbed its spiritual and dicinal properties, he could not only break through to the Yellow Fla Realm, but it would also be of imnse benefit to his Spiritual Power.
Even if he didn't absorb it, he could still use it to refine a Magical Artifact.
The benefits were nurous.
It was beyond what a re refined King-level Fire Essence Pill could ever compare to.
Of course, he knew it was uncertain whether there was even a dicine King in this cave. And if there was, it would be in the absolute depths.
Although Yang Xiao wasn't afraid of the heat in the Earth Fla Cave,
there was no telling if so Exotic Beast might be guarding the dicine King.
Just like in the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range.
For the ti being, Yang Xiao didn't plan to head straight for the very bottom.
In fact, his primary goal wasn't even to harvest the Spirit dicines here.
It was to use this environnt to cultivate the Nine Yang Celestial Skill.
As the foundational Cultivation Technique for his cultivation in this new life, Yang Xiao naturally wanted to begin practicing it the mont he t the requirents.
'The first part of the Nine Yang Celestial Skill, the first chapter of the Basic Chapter, is about condensing a True Fla. The highest grade of fla is the True Greater Yang Fire, followed by the Nine Yang True Fla, the Pure Yang True Fla, and so on. Before, I might have needed to borrow so external power to cultivate the True Greater Yang Fire, but now...'
Yang Xiao grinned mischievously.
He had observed Lu Fangliang's Greater Yang Treasure Body, and after several hours of careful observation today in particular, he had gained a deep understanding of the Greater Yang Body.
This gave him much greater confidence in his ability to condense the True Greater Yang Fire.
'Those with a Greater Yang Treasure Body can naturally condense True Greater Yang Fire just by cultivating—and an Eighth Grade one or higher, at that. I, on the other hand, probably won't be able to condense a True Greater Yang Fire of the Eighth Grade or higher before I finish the Basic Chapter. However, I have high hopes for a Ninth Grade True Greater Yang Fire.'
The True Greater Yang Fire itself has grades.
First Grade is the highest, and Ninth Grade is the lowest.
Don't be mistaken just because Yang Xiao could currently only condense a Ninth Grade True Greater Yang Fire.
Even a Ninth Grade True Greater Yang Fire was much more powerful than an Eighth Grade Nine Yang True Fla or a Seventh Grade Pure Yang True Fla.
This was especially true in terms of quality.
In the future, when Yang Xiao wanted to form the Greater Yang Treasure Body, he would likely have to rely on this very True Greater Yang Fire.
If he couldn't produce it, he might never be able to form the Treasure Body, no matter how many other tricks he had up his sleeve or how deeply he understood the Greater Yang Body.
Therefore, at this current stage, for Yang Xiao,
condensing the True Greater Yang Fire was the absolute highest priority.
It was the foundation of his foundation in this new life.
Yang Xiao naturally wouldn't treat this lightly.
Soon, he had ventured another dozen miles deeper.
He had already picked over a hundred stalks of Spirit dicine.
The deeper he went, the number of Spirit dicines dwindled, but their grade increased significantly.
Among the Spirit dicines he had just obtained, one was already an Eighth-Level Upper Grade.
An Eighth-Level Upper Grade Fire Attribute Spirit dicine!
He hadn't managed to find a single one of these even in the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range.
Not to ntion, the Fire Elental Power was getting denser and denser.
And he was still far from the bottom.
He would likely encounter even better Spirit dicines ahead.
Sure enough, after another three miles,
Yang Xiao's eyes lit up.
He looked toward a gloomy corner.
'Level 9! Haha, it's a Ninth-Grade Spirit dicine! This dicine King Valley's foundation is truly profound. If I'd been born in dicine King Valley, why would I have had to fight so hard in the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range just for a single Seventh-Grade Spirit dicine?'
Yang Xiao sighed softly.
He walked up to the Ninth-Grade Spirit dicine.
The Spirit dicine was bizarre, and Yang Xiao couldn't identify it by na.
He could, however, determine its grade and dicinal properties.
But he didn't pick it imdiately. Instead, he scanned his surroundings.
'The Fire Elental Power here is just barely enough, and this spot is relatively hidden. I'll cultivate here. The Nine Yang Celestial Skill... After waiting a million years, I finally have the chance to cultivate this Supre Yang Technique and master the two Saint Emperor Level Great Divine Techniques that made my Master famous.'
