C61 Merging with Nature
"If you can't reach the tenth level of the Ice True Qi Cultivation within three months, then you can leave the Northern Spirit Mountain. I will ask Hall Master to personally accept you as his disciple and guide you in your Cultivation!" Liu Ming said.
If he could reach the tenth level of the Ice True Qi Cultivation, it would be considered that he had built a good foundation. Only then would he be able to obtain the true inheritance of the To Freezing Sky Clan, the Three Colds Genuine Arts.
Lin Hao nodded and said, "Alright!"
When Liu Ming saw Lin Hao agree so readily, his facial expression became a little better.
He did not believe that Lin Hao could reach the tenth level of the Ice True Qi Cultivation in three months. After all, a few hundred years ago, a genius of the Freezing Sky Sect took four months to reach that level. That was the fastest record of the Freezing Sky Sect in over a thousand years.
Liu Ming personally brought Lin Hao to Northern Spirit Mountain. The person in charge of daily affairs in Northern Spirit Mountain was a Origin Core Stage level 5. He was a simple and honest middle-aged man, his name was Huang Sheng. Apart from that, all the disciples in the Northern Spirit Mountain were outer sect disciple.
Huang Sheng had also heard that Lin Hao was a new disciple of the Northern Branch. Lin Hao was the only inner sect disciple among them. Therefore, he was quite surprised that Lin Hao had chosen to come to Northern Spirit Mountain. With Liu Ming's reminder, Huang Sheng knew what to do. After getting someone to arrange Lin Hao's accommodation, he gave Lin Hao a mission.
The Frigid Heart Grass was a type of first rank Spiritual Medicine. It had a pretty good effect on the Freezing Sky Sects of the Freezing Sky Sect disciples. However, nurturing it was very troublesome. It needed someone to nourish it with Cold attribute Cold attributes every day.
Lin Hao stood in the herb field of Lin Haos. There were a total of 99 Frigid Heart Grass in this medicinal field. They were still a month away from ripening. The remaining month was also the stage where Frigid Heart Grasss were the easiest to damage.
The task that Huang Sheng assigned him was to take care of these 99 Frigid Heart Grasss. One month later. If 60 Frigid Heart Grass matured, then he would be considered to have completed his mission. He would receive a reward of 100 points. If he could not complete the mission, he would not be rewarded with points. There were also some small punishments, for example, for a period of time. He needed to do some chores every day.
Usually, this kind of thing would be handed over to some experienced people to do, but now it was Lin Hao who did it. Lin Hao naturally knew that this had something to do with Liu Ming.
He knew in his heart that Liu Ming wanted to make things difficult for him. However, he couldn't tell anyone about what had happened, so he didn't care about these small tricks that prevented him from entering the Cultivation.
Another fifteen minutes passed. It was time to use the Ice Elemental Energy to nourish the Frigid Heart Grass. Lin Hao found a shade of a tree and sat down. He started circulating the Sword Essence in his body according to the Ice True Qi Cultivation Methods he had obtained.
The strength of a Cold attribute wasn't very special. Besides being sharp and powerful, the Law-Defying Sword Manual cultivation Sword Essences also had a very strong characteristic, and that was that they could be molded. Not long after that, the Sword Essence in his body had condensed an icy cold energy. This meant that Lin Hao had already reached the first level of the Ice True Qi.
In less than fifteen minutes, Lin Hao had reached the perfect level of the first level of the Ice True Qi. Such a thing was unprecedented in the Freezing Sky Sect. If this continued, he would at most need a month to reach the tenth level of the Ice True Qi!
After Lin Hao stopped the Cultivation, the Ice True Qi in his body disappeared. With a thought, the Sword Essence circulated and a wisp of the Sword Essence turned into the Ice True Qi.
Lin Hao walked to the center of the Spiritual Medicine field, and the Ice True Qi in his body began to spread out in all directions. Under his powerful spiritual energy, every single Frigid Heart Grass was nourished by the same amount of Ice Elemental Energys at the same time. Not long after that, Lin Hao completed this task and returned to the place where he lived in Northern Spirit Mountain.
Due to his special identity, he was the only inner sect disciple in Northern Spirit Mountain. Therefore, his residence was an independent courtyard, which was very suitable for Lin Hao. His residence was very quiet, and he wouldn't be disturbed by anyone.
After tidying up, Lin Hao walked into the cultivation room and took out twelve Lower-class Elemental Stones. He arranged them in a special way and placed them around him. After that, he made a gesture with both hands, forming a small Essence Formation.
The energy within the Elemental Stone was quickly extracted. The surrounding Elemental Energys immediately became ten times thicker. Lin Hao circulated the Law-Defying Sword Manual and absorbed the Elemental Energys, converting them into Sword Essences within his body!
In just an hour, all the energy within the 12 Lower-class Elemental Stones were used up and shattered into powder.
Without any hesitation, Lin Hao took out another twelve Lower-class Elemental Stones and continued cultivating.
In any case, he still had nearly four hundred Lower-class Elemental Stones. He wouldn't have to worry about the Cultivation slowing down for a short period of time.
Among the resources allocated to the Sect every month, inner sect disciple could only obtain three Lower-class Elemental Stone. Even if it was some of the more talented ones, inner sect disciple, who was specially taken care of, could only obtain less than 10 Lower-class Elemental Stone in a month.
He had used up one of inner sect disciple's eight months worth of inner sect disciples in just one session of cultivation. If this matter was known by others, most of them would be so depressed that they would want to smash their heads against the wall!
Lin Hao only stopped cultivating after the energy of another twelve Lin Haos had been depleted. At this moment, the seventh Qi Ocean in his Dantian had already reached its maximum capacity. It could no longer be expanded. In a few days, he would be able to break through to the Qi Ocean Stage eighth level.
As for that mysterious drop of blood, it was about to be completely refined by him. The secret within was about to be unraveled!
Lin Hao left the cultivation room and started a fire to cook in the courtyard.
Before a cultivator's cultivation realm reached the Origin Core Stage, food was still indispensable every day. Even if a cultivator reached the Origin Core Stage, it was impossible for him not to eat food. He would need to eat it once every ten days or half a month.
Of course, if it was some special food, such as the meat of powerful Demonic Beasts, even a Origin Core Stage warrior would probably want to eat it every day to increase their strength.
The ingredients that Lin Hao had were all prepared in the room. They were not considered good ingredients. They could only be considered ordinary ingredients.
The owner of this body had naturally never come into contact with these things since he was young.
However, in his previous life, Lin Hao had been born poor since he was young. He was able to do these things with ease. Unknowingly, he recalled those days in the past.
His state of mind had suddenly changed. His emotions had merged with his every move. Every move he made contained a mysterious truth that affected the circulation of the Sword Essence in his body.
When the simple yet exquisite food was prepared, the Qi Ocean in Lin Hao's Dantian started boiling. The eighth Qi Ocean was opened.
Lin Hao's face revealed a smile. He never thought that just now, when he was immersed in that special state, his body had fused with his mind and emotions, reaching the state of One with the world that every martial artist dreamt of.
Under normal circumstances, a martial artist who had entered this state. . . They'll all have a lot to gain. However, under this state, Lin Hao had also broken through a realm. No matter how one looked at it, He seemed to have wasted a great opportunity. After all. . . During this process, he has been making fire and cooking. If it was someone else, they would definitely be extremely vexed. However, to Lin Hao, There was nothing to feel regretful about. He was very calm.
Just as Lin Hao was about to enjoy the fruits of his labor, a man in ragged clothes and unkempt clothes appeared at the entrance of the courtyard. He was emitting a strong smell of alcohol. He took a deep breath and said with an intoxicated expression, "It smells so good. "
