Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Four Phase Secret Techniques
On the Square Spirit Platform, a crimson side was filled with a violent aura, and the spirit shadow resembling the Vermilion Bird was the clearest, making its distinct fire feathers visible.
The appearance of Fire Phase Spirit Liquid was also the most abundant.
Among the other three phases, the Water Phase was second, and the Wood Phase was the weakest.
However, he was delighted that he had cultivated the Four Phase Spirit Platform.
His Wood Phase and Earth Phase could also gather the corresponding Spirit Liquid.
It’s just that the exudation and refinement speed were much slower compared to the Fire Phase.
Yet, even so, it was much better than before his Foundation Establishment.
Overall, it was elevated, and currently, the Spiritual Energy from the Golden Scale Beast and Jade Qilin Snake was hardly noteworthy for Ye Jingcheng.
It must be refined through the Spirit Platform to become more powerful.
The Fire Phase Spiritual Power from the Communication Beast was still more dominant and sharp from the Red Flame Fox.
With the Four-Phase Liquid Spiritual Power, the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture also included four Secret Techniques.
He could cultivate them one by one: the Fire Phase Secret Technique was Falling Flame Fire Feather, the Water Phase Secret Technique was Profound Ice Water Shield, the Wood Phase Secret Technique was Cyan Wood Spirit Seed, and the Earth Element Secret Technique was Cloud Fall Star Rock.
The reason he chose this Cultivation Technique was that it came with five Secret Techniques, although he didn’t have a Golden Spirit Root, and naturally, no Gold Phase Secret Technique.
The Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture was a free combination of the four phases within the five phases.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but ponder if there’s a Five Phase Cultivation Technique above the Four Phase Technique, and if the five phases could form mutual reinforcement and restraint, becoming more powerful?
Soon, Ye Jingcheng shook his head, dismissing the thought.
Even if there were five phases, it wouldn’t matter to him, for he lacked a Golden Spirit Root.
Ye Jingcheng inspected his Spiritual Power and then raised his head to feel his Divine Sense, which had increased several times.
Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Qi Cultivation Cultivators differed not only in Spiritual Energy but also in Divine Sense, where Qi Cultivation Cultivators’ Divine Sense barely reached dozens of yards.
In contrast, Foundation Establishment Cultivators could have weaker ones reaching fifty yards, while stronger ones might extend to several hundred yards.
As his Divine Sense expanded, Ye Jingcheng’s eyes also revealed cold stone walls and the slowly glowing Moonlight Stone.
The Spirit Patterns on the stone wall, the Black Armored Scorpion lurking in the cave, distant sand, soil layers, valley, and the antelopes raised by the Ye Family in the valley.
The serene night, everything was so tranquil...
Except for those areas within Sha Yun Mountain hidden and isolated by Array, everything else was clearly laid out before Ye Jingcheng.
He saw two Black Armored Scorpions overlapping each other, moving very slowly, and an antelope suddenly charging toward another.
Also, the markings of the cave, which were signals of safety confirmed by the Ye Family.
Bones buried under the trees, remains of deceased Spirit Beasts turned into Spirit Medicine fertilizer...
"Eighty yards!" Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes. As an Alchemy Master, he already had a strong innate Divine Sense, and now, after breaking through, he far surpassed the usual fifty yards of an ordinary Cultivator.
Beyond the width and breadth of the Divine Sense, it could also form Divine Pressure, which, although ineffective against fellow Foundation Establishment Cultivators, exerted significant pressure on Qi Cultivation Cultivators.
The vast gap in Divine Sense could affect the control over Magical Artifacts.
After all, the activation of Magical Artifacts relied on Divine Sense attached to them.
That’s why it’s challenging to transcend the ranks of the Great Realm; even if you possess an Exotic Treasure, if the difference in Divine Sense is too great, the opponent can easily erase your Divine Sense Mark.
Though it may not be immediately used against you, it would at least prevent either party from utilizing it.
So, if any Qi Cultivation Cultivator intended to rely on their sharp Magical Artifacts, to challenge him across ranks, he would welcome it with open arms.
In small auctions or markets, those Foundation Establishment Cultivators who flaunted themselves also relied on Divine Pressure.
Ye Jingcheng finished his check and once again took out three Elixirs for ingestion.
These three Elixirs were Green Water Pill, Red Ganoderma Pill, and Lotus Yellow Pill, respectively.
Yet, consuming these Elixirs now had a diminished effect, not much better than the Spiritual Energy from other beasts.
The only advantage was, no matter how immense the Spiritual Energy, he could rapidly refine it through the Spirit Platform.
Moreover, he was currently using it only to stabilize his Cultivation.
Thus, and another night passed before Ye Jingcheng rose, dusting off his Daoist Robe, and walked outside.
The stone door of seclusion opened, revealing a much denser moonlight in the outer hall.
The light of the Moonlight Stones differed in strength, yielding various uses; in the hall, they shone brighter than those in the seclusion chamber.
The difference was like that between a full moon and a crescent moon.
The long-missed light made Ye Jingcheng squint, and before his eyes, the three Spirit Beasts nudged close.
During his breakthrough, he had entrusted the three Spirit Beasts to clan cultivators for care, mainly feeding them Spiritual Food.
At this moment, the Red Flame Fox and Golden Scale Beast were impatient, accustomed to the Treasure Light and hunting, finding their current situation unnatural.
In contrast, the Jade Qilin Snake was fuller, with its inverted triangle pupils filled with contentment.
It relished such days, yet equally longed for Ye Jingcheng’s Treasure Light.
"Golden Scale..." Ye Jingcheng took a glance, instantly filled with satisfaction.
The aura of the Golden Scale Beast had unmistakably reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation.
The Jade Qilin Snake was not far behind, nearing the aura of a Tier Two.
Moreover, his feeling regarding the Jade Qilin Snake was that, even without a Tier Two Demon Pill, by just consuming as it was, it would soon reach Tier Two.
"Congratulations, Jingcheng!" Ye Xuefu and Ye Xueliang both appeared on the side, accompanied by Ye Xingyu.
Ye Xingyu was beaming with delight, pleased both for Ye Jingcheng and for himself.
Counting all, sixty breakthroughs to Foundation Establishment, and even a few days late would have been too late.
"Fourth Brother?" Ye Jingcheng spoke.
"Jingyu should be delayed; he adapts to demon beasts slower. You can go to Qi Blood Sect for further training these days, maybe attempt facing all Wooden Puppets!" Ye Xuefu suggested, glancing at Ye Jingcheng and adding:
"Once Jingyu emerges, we’ll inform you of some family matters!"
Ye Jingcheng felt slightly embarrassed, as he naturally wanted to learn about family matters now that he had reached Foundation Establishment, but hadn’t expected to be seen through immediately.
Ye Xuefu raised his hand, directing Ye Jingcheng’s gaze to a table beside him.
"Rewards for you."
"Jingcheng, this Antelope Spirit Cuisine, mixed with Tier Two Blood Ginseng Flower and Tier Two Danggui Grass, is a Spirit Cuisine for stabilizing the Foundation Establishment Spirit Platform, crafted personally by Ninth Uncle; you’re fortunate!" Ye Xingyu expressed some envy on the side.
He had evidently tasted it before.
But the aftertaste lingered in his eyes.
It’s well known that Alchemy Masters possess an excellent understanding of Spirit Medicine composition and pharmacology and are equally adept in Spirit Cuisine.
"Thank you, Ninth Ancestor!" Ye Jingcheng looked in the direction. Beneath a Spirit Shield, there was a large bowl of Antelope Spirit Cuisine, its color golden and full, glossy, appearing highly appetizing.
Beside it was a pot of Spirit Wine, placed aside.
