Next, handle the harvest related to the Immortal Dao.
In Lou Yi's hand, a three-inch long pale green porcelain bottle appeared again.
The bottle contained half a bottle of green transparent liquid, which was one of the three signature elixirs of Master Han Yue—Moonlight Dew.
It was also an essential item for advancing in the Profound Yin Technique.
The formula for Moonlight Dew had been lost for a long time. That Lou Yi could obtain it this time was undoubtedly a stroke of great fortune.
He hesitated no more and began to advance the fundamental great technique of the Immortal Dao—the Profound Yin Technique.
Profound Yin Technique (Proficient 0/1000 + Moonlight Dew) → Profound Yin Technique (Mastery 0/3000 + Taiyin Jade)
A stranger's memory surfaced in his mind.
In the memory, Lou Yi became a Yin Practitioner who also cultivated the Profound Yin Technique, starting from childhood and cultivating all the way to the peak of Qi Cultivation Ninth Level where he was stuck, unable to progress.
Though he never broke through to Foundation Establishment, the daily practice of the Profound Yin Technique never faltered, even when nearing the end of his life at over a hundred and twenty years old, he persisted…
And now, more than a hundred years of experience in cultivating the Profound Yin Technique entered Lou Yi's mind.
This allowed him to be exceedingly familiar with the characteristics of the cultivation technique—when to pursue the meridians, with what force and at what speed to open them, and how to most efficiently absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi…
Lou Yi looked at his Cultivator Realm, Qi Cultivation Third Level (40/600), and saw a prompt appear:
Profound Yin Technique Mastery, increases proficiency by five points every two days.
Compared to the previous two points per day, it increased efficiency by 25%.
Though it didn't seem like much, Lou Yi's current cultivation speed at the Third Level of Qi Cultivation already surpassed most mid-grade Spirit Roots.
Then, he took out a bottle of Ancient Moon Pills.
This was a moon-white elixir, with ten pieces in a bottle, an extremely rare Treasure Pill that could enhance the Spirit Root.
Lou Yi threw them all into his mouth.
The elixirs dissolved upon entering the mouth, transforming into a refreshing energy that surged towards Lou Yi's mind.
In an instant, Lou Yi felt his perception of Yin Spiritual Qi become sharper.
He could more precisely filter out the types he wanted from the complex Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
With Spirit Root talents enhanced, cultivation speed increased further, now reaching an increment of three points in proficiency per day.
At this pace, he could break through to the next realm in just half a year, comparable to those with upper-grade Spirit Roots.
Afterwards, he would hunt some Yin Element creatures to increase his Yin Affinity.
His cultivation speed would eventually surpass those sect geniuses without any bottlenecks, promising a brilliant future.
Of course, the accumulation of Immortal Cultivation required years of hard work and could not be achieved overnight, offering little immediate help to Lou Yi's current predicament.
Lou Yi then took out a pile of Qi Absorption Pills, spoils from slaying rival cultivators this time.
A bottle of Qi Absorption Pills was worth two days of arduous cultivation; there were ten pieces in a bottle, but to avoid damaging the meridians, usually, each piece had to be taken three days apart.
Of course, these restrictions were almost nonexistent for Lou Yi.
He poured the Qi Absorption Pills into his mouth like candy.
Only the sound of 'crackling' could be heard inside his body as Lou Yi's meridians were quickly and violently opened, his skin turning bright red, with large amounts of white steam escaping from his pores...
After finishing all the Qi Absorption Pills, Lou Yi's Qi Cultivation Realm changed: Qi Cultivation Third Level (40/600) → Qi Cultivation Third Level (360/600)
With the Profound Yin Technique and Spirit Root enhancement completed, Lou Yi began to examine some basic Five Elements Magic he acquired this time.
Palm Flame, Wind Blade Technique, Gold Needle Technique, Barrier Technique, Vine Technique, Freezing Technique…
Each basic magic required roughly the same amount of energy to advance.
Lou Yi first upgraded Palm Flame:
Palm Flame (Not Started 0/20) → Palm Flame (Beginner 0/80) → Palm Flame (Proficient 0/400) → Palm Flame (Mastery 0/2000) → Palm Flame (Minor Achievement 0/10000)
Restricted by limited energy, Lou Yi could only upgrade it to the Minor Achievement Level.
In his mind, new memories emerged, and he became a Fire Element Qi Cultivator who favored using Palm Flame.
Spending half his life studying this magic, his proficiency was not inferior to an average Foundation Establishment…
As the memory absorption completed, various insights on using Palm Flame also flowed into Lou Yi's mind.
At the same time, a large influx of energy entered his mind, which the Falcon eagerly devoured, its feathers becoming even shinier, its eyes more vibrant, and its body naturally growing larger by a fraction.
The Falcon, originally standing three zhang tall, already had a Divine Sense Cultivation surpassing the peak of Qi Cultivation.
After this enhancement, it reached three zhang and two chi; though not much, the higher the Divine Sense Cultivation, the harder it was to advance.
However, besides Palm Flame, Lou Yi also possessed other Five Elements Magic.
Subsequently, he advanced the Gold Needle Technique, Barrier Technique, Vine Technique, and other five spells to the Minor Achievement Level, increasing the Falcon's body size to four zhang.
Energy was now down to three to four thousand.
At this time, the Falcon's feathers were extremely delicate, emitting a faint gray-brown halo around its body that made the five-foot Black Snake tremble, not daring to approach.
'Li Family Patriarch's Divine Sense Sphere is about six zhang tall; although it certainly decreased due to the soul transfer, the difference shouldn't be too vast…'
'Though my current Divine Sense Cultivation is still somewhat distant from that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, my defense should suffice.
His method of attacking my Divine Sense may not be as effective…'
'Minor Achievement in all Five Elements Magic; with just my Immortal Cultivation, I can defeat most Qi Cultivation Middle Stage cultivators now.'
Thinking of this, Lou Yi felt a bit of confidence rising, then started studying the martial arts harvest this time—"The First Part of Star Refining Body Technique".
The Star Refining Body Technique is an extremely rare body refining technique that can be cultivated even without True Blood.
After returning to the sect, Lou Yi even specifically asked Bi Yaoyao to consult her father.
Unexpectedly, even her father hadn't heard of a body refining method that could improve without relying on True Blood.
From this perspective, the Star Refining Body Technique is a highly unusual existence even within the True Blood Sect.
Its cultivation method is simple.
Find an open space where you can see starlight to attract thousands of starlights into the body for reconstructing the flesh.
Upon reaching mastery, the body can be elevated to the level of a treasure weapon, a headache even for Golden Core Masters.
Night fell, with a layer of faint gray miasma lingering outside Disciple Peak.
Those who were ordinary disciples stayed obediently in their caves, as the miasma could corrode the flesh and damage the meridians, a menace not to be underestimated.
Lou Yi seemingly unbothered, went to the most open area at the mountain's summit.
He gazed up at the sky, where a bright moon hung high, surrounded by sparkling stars.
'Star and moonlight fall upon us, each containing spiritual charm; with a calm mind, one can draw the light into the body, refine it to return to the original…'
In Lou Yi's mind, the cultivation method of the Star Refining Body Technique surfaced unintentionally.
Stars and Moon?
Could moonlight be useful too?
Lou Yi thought about it and couldn't help but smile.
The so-called stars are a broad term; isn't the moon a satellite and also a kind of star?
He began to follow the techniques stated in the manual, quietly sensing the starlight and moonlight.
With all his experiences in cultivating multiple body refining techniques in martial arts, options corresponding to them quickly appeared on the Attribute Panel:
Star Refining Body Technique (Not Started 0/40).
Spent forty points of energy to enhance the Refining Technique.
Star Refining Body Technique (Not Started 0/40) → Star Refining Body Technique (Beginner 0/200) → Star Refining Body Technique (Proficient 0/1000 + 1 Stargrass).
Instantly, Lou Yi felt the starlight and moonlight on his skin seem to carry a vitality and coolness he hadn't noticed before.
He tried to run the Refining Technique, drawing the light into his body.
His skin and flesh instantly produced a slight tingling feeling, cheering and rejoicing, like fish encountering water.
Suddenly, the memory of the Petrification Talent enhancement appeared in Lou Yi's mind.
The old Monkey King, swallowing moon essence, made his body stronger and stronger…
A thought sparked in him.
"Petrification."
The next moment, Lou Yi's skin turned entirely crimson silver, just like the Monkey King in his memory.
The speed at which his body absorbed the moonlight suddenly accelerated, pushing aside even the starlights.
The speed kept increasing, like a runaway horse beyond his own control!
'Boom!'
A dazzling moonlight pillar visibly descended from the sky, vertically falling on Lou Yi.
This bathed him in the moonlight pillar, appearing sacred and divine, like an Immortal cultivating at the mountaintop.
His body's strength was also rapidly enhancing!
