Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1446 - 633: The Path of Incense Offerings (Part 2)

Fortunately, the appearance of that Black-robed Ghost-faced Immortal Master directly made that Ninth Young Master Huang from the Capital City Huang Family sincerely bring out a large amount of wealth!

This time, our Patriarch Master Miao’s long-cherished wish finally has a chance to be fulfilled. I can’t even imagine how happy Master Miao must be right now!

As for that Black-robed Ghost-faced Immortal Master, in the future, there will definitely be many poor people who will set up statues of him in their homes! Tsk tsk, truly a compassionate Great Immortal, one can’t help but praise him; the fame of this Black-robed Ghost-faced Immortal Master will surely be passed down for thousands of years!"

Lin Xuankong, hearing this, didn’t show any happiness at Miao Youren’s ’face-to-face’ flattery. He nodded lightly and said, "Hmm, in the coming period, you should frequently visit those places where food and clothing are being distributed. After all, this is a major event that could impact the entire Qingyuan City, and even if we don’t have enough silver taels to help, lending some prestige is still possible!"

Miao Youren nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I will definitely go more often in the future, and I can also bring more people to help!"

After Miao Youren left,

Lin Xuankong raised his eyebrows slightly and pondered silently,

In this Absolute Spirit Mini World, the paths I can take for cultivation amount to only two!

One is absorbing the blood, essence, and life force of other beings, akin to cultivation techniques like the Blood Spirit Technique and Heaven-Questioning Technique! The benefit of this cultivation path is its rapid effectiveness, for instance, cultivating the Blood Spirit Technique; as long as I can absorb enough spirit blood and life force, I can quickly enhance my cultivation. Even without the addition of a natural talent of growing old and wise within my Life Plate, while it might not boost one or two early-stage realms in a day, it can surely advance cultivation to Tier Two or Three of Transcendence within a few years!

However, this cultivation path also has deficiencies, much like those of the Profound Yin Demon Race from the Profound Yin Demon Sect. As cultivation reaches the later stages, the demand for spirit blood and life force increases exponentially! Once reaching the high levels of Transcendence or the Earth Immortal Realm, the amount of blood and spirit power needed from ordinary beings becomes terrifyingly high before further advancement is possible!

Meaning, these kinds of demon techniques such as the Blood Spirit Technique and Heaven-Questioning Technique progress rapidly in the early stages but face restrictions later on... likely requiring the absorption of billions of beings’ spirit for a slight effect. In this Absolute Spirit Mini World, cultivators are scarce, unlike in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, where demon technique cultivators can swiftly enhance their strength by absorbing the blood and strong spirit power of Earth Immortal Level powerhouses!

The second path is the Path of Incense, which involves planting an Incense Seal in the Brain Mansion of beings and gaining spiritual power through their worship and reverence, transforming the spirit power into True Qi through the Incense Seal!

This cultivation path, compared to demon techniques like the Blood Spirit Technique and Heaven-Questioning Technique, is painstakingly slow and extremely difficult in the early stages! It’s incredibly challenging to have any being sincerely and wholly worship and respect oneself! Beings with intelligence aren’t easily swayed to genuinely worship or revere others!

Unless, one truly performs miracles like an immortal, giving intelligent beings positive feedback through their devout worship and reverence... This cultivation path evidently can’t be achieved in the early stages, at least requiring the strength of a Tier Three Transcendent before it’s feasible!

However, it can serve as an alternative cultivation path for the acquisition of True Qi when the Blood Spirit Technique encounters difficulties at later stages! From the events of today, using the name of the Black-robed Ghost-faced Immortal Master to assist the poor has indeed garnered significant actual reverence—though it hasn’t reached the level of daily worship by the impoverished, it has certainly planted some ’seeds’!

At this thought, Lin Xuankong was filled with even more confidence in the cultivation path ahead in this Absolute Spirit Mini World!

Finding a treasure formed from the Little World Origin within this Absolute Spirit Mini World is already exceedingly difficult, akin to finding a needle in a haystack! To cultivate to the Ninth-Grade Earth Immortal and Strongest Immortal Lord realm after locating the treasure formed from the Little World Origin, thereby triggering the ultimate Celestial Tribulation and bringing the treasure back to the Supreme Origin Realm, is obviously too challenging for any cultivator arriving in such an Absolute Spirit Mini World! Nevertheless, the rapidly advancing Lin Xuankong, having reached the late stage of Tier Three Transcendence, is growing increasingly confident....

....

Seven or eight days later,

At the Fishing Pavilion by the Qingshui Riverfront.

Lin Xuankong sat on the stone bench, paused his cultivation of the Blood Spirit Technique, and activated a wisp of True Qi, wrapping it around his fingertips. After feeling it carefully, he said softly:

"The cultivation of the Blood Spirit Technique, upon reaching the early stage of Tier Four Transcendence, inevitably becomes extremely slow if a large amount of strong beings’ blood and life force can’t be absorbed. These past few days, nearly ninety percent of aquatic beings in the rivers around Qingyuan City have had their blood and life force extracted by me, totaling nearly a billion fish and shrimp blood and spirit power absorbed... yet the result was merely elevating my realm from the late stage of Tier Three Transcendence to the early stage of Tier Four!

If I wish to maintain a relatively fast pace of advancement, perhaps I need to look for a few mountain ranges dense with large beings to ensure sufficient blood and life force, or otherwise head to large lakes or oceans!"

Standing behind Lin Xuankong, ’Sima Dongming’ heard this, and his face twitched, revealing a strange expression,

"Brother Lin, are you mocking me? Both of us resurrected in bodies with certain cultivation talents and started cultivation at the same time. We both chose the Blood Spirit Technique most suited for the early stages in this Absolute Spirit Mini World. Yet, despite spending all my time and effort absorbing spirit blood and life force, besides identifying treasures, as the supposed old patriarch of the Sima Clan, I can find more non-human large beings than you can!

But after more than ten days, relying on the blood and life force of tens of thousands of cattle, sheep, horse, and dogs, I’ve just barely reached the introduction stage of the Blood Spirit Technique, with the Immortal Path Realm only just stepping into the early stage of Tier One Transcendence, having barely gathered some thin demonic technique True Qi, while you’ve already cultivated to the early stage of Tier Four Transcendence!

Your cultivation speed, Brother Lin, is probably ten thousand times faster than mine, right? Judging by my estimation, it would take at least two hundred years for me to reach Tier Four Transcendence in this Absolute Spirit Mini World lacking supplemental life force from powerful beings!

Even in the Supreme Origin Realm, where nurtured by Supreme Primordial Qi everywhere, it would take several months for cultivators to reach Tier Four Transcendence! Your talent, Brother Lin, makes Changming unable to fathom, unimaginable!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuankong shook his head gently and said, "Maybe my luck is exceedingly good, and this body I possessed is particularly suited to the Blood Spirit Technique!"

"Is it truly that suitable? With a cultivation speed more than ten thousand times mine, a body with such an utmost talent for the Blood Spirit Technique? Even among those genius demon sect demon race members most suited for the Blood Spirit Technique, none necessarily possess such extraordinarily rapid and terrifying cultivation speed as you, Brother Lin! If I hadn’t confirmed you are indeed Brother Lin, I would suspect some Saint Monarch from the Demon Race reincarnated into this Absolute Spirit Mini World to have such an astonishing cultivation speed in the Blood Spirit Technique!"

’Sima Dongming’ shook his head repeatedly, clearly not convinced by Lin Xuankong’s rather dismissive explanation.
