Yang Jing picked up the Three Yang Apricot, gently bit through the skin, and sucked the pulp and juice into his mouth.
A gentle and ceaseless warm current surged from his stomach, flowing into his limbs and throughout his body.
He imdiately stood up and began practicing the Tiger Roar Iron Cloth Shirt from his True Yang Body technique, so as not to waste the dicinal power of the Three Yang Apricot.
He was already intimately familiar with the eighty-one variations of the Tiger Roar Iron Cloth Shirt. As he perford the forms, a tide of Celestial True Yang, infused with the dicinal power of the Three Yang Apricot, washed over his muscles, skin, and sinews.
After consuming a large number of Body Refining Spirit Pills, Yang Jing’s physical body had already neared the limits of the Qi Cultivation Stage. He could only rely on the subtle, gradual nourishnt of his Celestial True Yang for any further improvent.
The only recent improvent had co after he mastered the Five Elents Thunder Technique, which passively strengthened his internal organs by a small amount.
But the effect of this one Three Yang Apricot was comparable to mastering an entire Thunder Technique, which was a truly pleasant surprise.
Yang Jing thought for a mont, and a conjecture surfaced in his mind. ’The Pure Yang Apricot Tree was painstakingly cultivated and selected by the Nine Yang Sect to be the Spirit Fruit that best complented the True Yang Body.’
’Although I’ve developed a resistance to other Spirit Pills, this is the very first ti I’ve ever consud a Three Yang Apricot. That’s why its supportive effect on my True Yang Body wasn’t diminished in the slightest, leading to such an astonishing result.’
Yang Jing almost instantly thought of the Six Yang Fruits available in the Sect.
’With the dicinal power of the Six Yang Fruits and my Cocoon Transformation Talent, I might be able to strengthen my physical body to the absolute limit of the Qi Cultivation Stage.’
For a Cultivator, this was a nearly impossible realm to achieve, almost equivalent to a Demon cultivating its Magical Power to the limit of the Qi Cultivation Stage.
Due to their innate aptitudes, even at the sa realm and using the sa cultivation technique, Yang Jing’s physical strength had always been a notch below Iron Head’s. Only his Qi Power, thanks to the Mountain-Carrying Power talent he’d taken from the Iron Armor General, surpassed his beast’s.
Iron Head was already just a hair’s breadth away from the physical limit of the Qi Cultivation Stage. He could probably reach it after consuming just one or two Three Yang Apricots.
Conversely, the sa was true for Iron Head’s cultivation of the Five Talisman Scripture. Even without the boost from the True and False Five Elents Wheel, his Magical Power was slightly weaker than Yang Jing’s.
Inner Sect Disciples had the right to exchange for cultivation techniques from the second floor of the Library Pavilion. Since Yang Jing wasn’t short on rit Points, he went ahead and redeed the complete manuals for both the Positive and Negative Five Elents Swordsmanship and the Five Elents Thunder Technique.
With this, the Sword Techniques and Thunder Techniques practiced by Yang Jing, Iron Head, and Yinjiao were finally complete.
Yang Jing still had so Spirit Stones left over from the Insect Extermination Bell business. He had always believed that Spirit Stones only had value when spent. With almost no hesitation, he spent the Spirit Stones to power-level Yinjiao’s Positive and Negative Five Elents Swordsmanship and Five Elents Thunder Technique to the Peak of Perfection.
Because Yinjiao was exceptionally talented with Thunder Techniques, upgrading the Five Elents Thunder Technique cost very few Spirit Stones.
[Five Elents Magical Sword], [Five Thunders True Register]
After Yang Jing shared these two talents, his own talent list began to shift. The two talents, Five Thunders True Register and Thunder and Lightning Control, twisted together into a single mass.
The next mont, a brand-new talent appeared.
[Mastery of the Five Thunders]
The instant this talent took form, Yang Jing felt as if his body was about to dissipate into a storm of lightning.
This was because the talent’s level wasn’t Legendary, but Epic!
His Divine Soul, physical body, and Magical Power all struggled to bear the weight of this talent.
Yinjiao was extrely sensitive to Thunder Techniques. He sensed his master’s aura suddenly beco as hard to distinguish as yin from yang, as unpredictable as the cosmos.
After a long while, Yang Jing finally caught his breath.
"Wind and thunder flow into form, thunderstorms rage with power. Clearly seen, it exists; hidden in shadow, it is gone. Gather it, and it becos the one qi; scatter it, and it becos the Five Thunders. When it retracts, it is silent and formless; when it expands, it suddenly takes shape. The Dao moves through all realms, its wonder rests in the spiritual heart. Know that the Thunder Technique is not found through seeking; its true mystery originates from the one qi."
This passage of insight surfaced in his mind, and he naturally recited it aloud.
Ji Feng and Chi Yu, who knew nothing of Thunder Techniques, were bewildered. Iron Head, who had already reached a decent level of proficiency, seed to grasp sothing. But Yinjiao, who had completely comprehended the Five Elents Thunder Technique, was struck as if by lightning, and sparks even shot out from his body.
[Five Elents Thunder Technique Peak of Perfection (1%)]
Yang Jing could see that his proficiency with the Five Elents Thunder Technique had jumped from 0% to 1%.
Unlike him, however, Yinjiao’s two talents, [Thunder and Lightning Control] and [Five Thunders True Register], remained distinctly separate, showing no sign of rging.
In fact, the last ti one of his disciples had undergone a change was when Iron Head drank the Thousand Years of Cyan, and the progress gained was far less than Yang Jing’s.
’The Beast Taming Battle ga from my past life was exactly like this. If you wanted to fuse and evolve talents, you couldn’t even dream of it without dropping tens of thousands. A single Talent Fusion Talisman cost six hundred, and there was still a high chance of failure and even downgrading during fusion. Even if it succeeded, the resulting talent might be completely useless, forcing you to use a Talent Refining Talisman to reroll it randomly.’
’The reason it was so simple for is that I probably found a loophole in the Guardian Beast ga system.’
’All the pay-to-win restrictions were aid at the Guardian Beasts, not the Cultivators.’
After all, even though the *Nine Heavens World* ga and *Beast Taming Battle* shared the sa setting and had countless connections, they were ultimately two separate gas that didn’t interact.
However, forcibly bearing an Epic Level talent with a body at the Qi Cultivation realm also caused huge problems for Yang Jing. He didn’t even dare to circulate his Magical Power carelessly, fearing that it might accidentally react to the changes in nature’s spiritual energy and spontaneously generate lightning.
Not only could this easily injure others, but the unleashed Thunder Technique could also easily exceed his body’s limits, causing him to harm himself just like Ji Chengfeng.
This forced him to temporarily focus all his energy on Body Refinent. He spent a large amount of rit Points on Three Yang Apricots and purchased huge quantities of Spirit Rice and Demon Beast Flesh to build up his qi and blood.
He prepared to achieve Body Refining Foundation Establishnt as soon as possible.
「Seven days later.」
The Cave Mansion Yang Jing had chosen was finally renovated. On the day of his housewarming, he only invited a few friends he knew well within the Sect for a simple drink of Spirit Wine.
However, people kept coming to deliver all sorts of gifts. They showed excellent tact, sending things that were useful for setting up a new Cave Mansion, such as Spirit dicine Seeds, Spirit Tree Seedlings, and Rare Spirit Fish.
Yang Jing could only make a note of the gifts and their senders, planning to return the favor when he had the chance.
Even the miscellaneous task disciples who had helped sell the Insect Extermination Bells ca. They all brought gifts of Spirit Rice and Spirit dicine that they had grown themselves.
To his surprise, Huan Qingshuang from the Firework Hall also ca that day, bringing her clan-sister Huan Qingwen with her. Having learned from sowhere that Yang Jing had been spending rit Points to redeem Three Yang Fruits from the Sect, she decided to offer a heavy gift as an apology.
It was a Pure Yang Apricot Tree that was a full two hundred and seventy years old—the oldest of all the Pure Yang Apricot Trees the Sect had made available for redemption.
This kind of Spirit Tree could only be redeed with Sect rit Points, and the exchange of Pure Yang Apricot Trees over three hundred years old was forbidden. This particular tree would be able to bear Three Yang Apricots in just thirty more years, making it worth at least twelve hundred rit Points.
Even for a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator of Huan Qingshuang’s high standing, parting with so many rit Points at once was a significant blow.
Having received such a great advantage, Yang Jing waved his hand magnanimously and naturally chose to forgive her.
"Junior Sister Huan is just young and inexperienced. How could I possibly take a few re words to heart?"
Huan Qingshuang was a tall, buxom woman, with a stature nearly equal to a man’s. After delivering the Pure Yang Apricot Tree with the downcast Huan Qingwen in tow, she left imdiately.
The more Yang Jing looked at the Pure Yang Apricot Tree, the more pleased he beca.
Through his Bright Qi Talent, he could see that even though the Pure Yang Apricot Tree hadn’t been planted yet, it was already breathing in the surging Yang Qi from the world around it, even drawing down the Celestial True Yang from the heavens.
This made the Pure Yang Apricot Tree a natural nexus of Yang Qi. Just sitting beside it would speed up the cultivation of his True Yang Body.
