Chapter 604: Chapter 304 Cultivation of Decay and Prosperity_2
The Withered and Flourishing Skill, such a secret technique, once master it, grants immortality, undying for ten thousand years. If one could instantly cultivate it, it would be overly ambitious.
"The first level then, even if it’s just the first level, it can still make me invincible."
Thinking of this, Lin Beichen’s cyan spiritual light in his hand instantly transformed into countless points of light, merging into his body.
Everything was ready, and he was already capable of cultivating the Withered and Flourishing Skill.
In the valley of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, a gentle rain started to fall.
No wind nor clouds, the rain drops appeared out of thin air.
The raindrops landing on the ground quickly grew into a lush green.
The grass and trees were summoned by the life qi, slowly sprouting out of the ground, basking under the sunlight.
Meanwhile, inside the cave, Lin Beichen’s body stretched, blending into the void as much as possible.
No need for any moves, no concern about aesthetics.
Lin Beichen walked with his heart, his figure bizarre yet filled with a terrifying beauty.
As the Five Elements Qi circulated, within the Golden Core, two light points gradually emerged.
One gathered from the Wood of the Five Elements, the other from the Earth of the Five Elements.
The two spiritual beads repelled each other yet attracted each other, like the yin and yang fish in the innate Eight Trigrams, chasing each other while merging.
Strands of cyan and earthy yellow spiritual qi filled the mountain.
The spiritual qi felt like morning dew, filled with various life forces.
If Mr. Li Jiang were here, he would surely be pleasantly surprised.
Because just a drop of water here would be enough to increase his power by at least ten years.
However, if an ordinary person were there and accidentally touched these drops, they would instantly perish, transformed into a puppet.
The Five Elements Qi, though beneficial, could also be a poison.
An ordinary person, consuming one drop, would take a hundred years to digest; consuming two drops, their Five Elements Qi would instantly disintegrate.
These drops were actually the purest elixir.
Previously, Lin Beichen refined elixirs in the mountain, producing three thousand elixirs in one hour.
But the combined spiritual qi of these three thousand elixirs was not as pure as one drop of water here.
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, a thunderstorm exploded over the Medicine Immortal Pavilion.
Lightning rampaged, crashing into the rear mountain.
As Lin Beichen circulated the Withered and Flourishing Skill, the vast spiritual qi and life force dispersed into the sky.
The enormous life force and elemental power stacked up, causing changes in the celestial phenomena.
After the thunder’s roar, a torrential downpour descended.
In the rear mountain, the spirit medicine and herbs suddenly trembled.
Listening carefully, it seemed like the sound of all things singing, as if cheering the abundance of life qi.
The grass and trees absorbed the dispersing life qi, growing frantically, transforming from budding flowers to dazzling blossoms in just a few breaths.
"The capacity of the Golden Core is three liters. One drop of spiritual qi water weighs about one gram, meaning this Golden Core is enough for me to refine three thousand drops. Based on my current progress, the yearly progress is about one thousand drops, requiring at least three years to complete the first level."
"This is based on common sense. With my enlightenment, if I have a sudden realization, I can sometimes refine over two hundred drops in a day. Though the Withered and Flourishing Skill is difficult, it ultimately falls within my expectations."
Lin Beichen sat cross-legged in the void, his brows relaxed, his body unwound, feeling unprecedented comfort since birth.
He seemed to be soaking in the Life Spirit Spring, surrounded by the Wood Spiritual Qi.
Previously, during cultivation, he did not dare to be too indulgent.
Even though Lin Beichen’s enlightenment was astonishing, his brain and body were not on the same dimension.
His brain had already flown out of Earth, seen the universe, but his body was still trapped in the mortal world.
Only after the Five Elements Fire advanced to Tier Five did Lin Beichen begin to possess the power to contend with the mundane world.
However, his conscience and bottom line told him that even though he had the power to destroy heavens and earth, he must still adhere to this bottom line.
This planet’s myriad living beings were so wondrous. If he casually destroyed it, leaving only a barren, lifeless land, what would be the point even if he lived eternally?
The world ultimately needs more living beings to be lively.
When Lin Beichen absorbed the spiritual qi, he deliberately leaked a portion to the grass and trees in the valley.
The grass and trees, absorbing the spiritual qi, grew rapidly and changed their characteristics.
Originally ordinary withered grass now transformed into life-extending spirit grass.
The plants competed with each other, even trying to seize spiritual qi from Lin Beichen.
If it were someone else, they would likely have been enraged, uprooting the spirit grass. However, Lin Beichen was delighted, seeing them as newborn children.
During his first cultivation, he generated excessive Five Elements Qi. Even if he couldn’t absorb it all, it would be wasted, leaving it for the grass and trees seemed worthwhile.
Before cultivating, Lin Beichen had asked Mr. Li Jiang to seal off the rear mountain of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, which had now become a paradise for plants.
Three days passed.
The grass and trees, having absorbed enough spiritual qi, started to reciprocate to Lin Beichen.
They absorbed too much spiritual qi, accumulating excessive life force without converting it into growth hormones.
Plants lack intelligence, guided only by instinct.
With spiritual qi hovering in the air, they neither tire nor feel full, only continuously absorbing.
Thus, upon realizing excessive life force, they released the surplus.
In the entire valley, only Lin Beichen could absorb this life force.
Three days earlier, Lin Beichen could only absorb less than thirty drops of Plant Spiritual Qi per day even if he cultivated all day, but now, with the conversion of life force, his efficiency had doubled.
Lin Beichen remained seated in the void, his body thoroughly assimilated by the Wood Spiritual Qi.
From a distance, a giant cyan spiritual bead appeared in the valley.
The Wood of the Five Elements gradually transformed into Withered and Flourishing Qi.
Five Elements Spiritual Qi was always just the foundation.
Depending on the cultivation method, its nature would change, even undergoing subtle alterations due to one’s bloodline.
As the Plant Qi reached its peak, Lin Beichen’s Golden Core suddenly erupted with spiritual light.
This spiritual light was unusual, not the power of grass and trees, but earthy spiritual light with the fragrance of soil.
The Five Elements Power nourishes and restrains each other.
At the peak of grass and tree power, it couldn’t operate effectively, naturally seeking a way out.
To absorb more plant power, it had to be converted into Earth Spiritual Qi.
The Five Elements Qi rotated endlessly, nourishing and restraining, maintaining a wondrous balance of all things.
This realization affirmed Lin Beichen’s belief that the Five Elements Technique was one of the paths to the celestial avenue.
Time is timeless in the mountains; cultivation is endlessly long.
July, at the Imperial Capital’s Far Distance Airport.
As the largest international airport in the country by throughput, Far Distance Airport is always extraordinarily busy at any time of day.
In the VIP lounge, an elderly and a young person sat in a private room, drinking tea while leisurely watching the crowded outside.
The VIP lounge at Far Distance International Airport does not follow the conventions of a typical VIP area.
To enjoy the private space of the VIP lounge at Far Distance International Airport, one must get an annual million-dollar VIP card.
This is just the entry threshold, guaranteeing access to the VIP lounge but not necessarily a sofa, let alone a private room.
To get a private room in the VIP lounge requires additional proof.
However, what specific proof is needed remains unknown.
"Grandfather, is this Lin Beichen really that powerful?"
The elder was sipping tea, while the child beside him showed an unhappy face.
He raised his chin, with big eyes filled with a provocation.
Recognized by the family as a once-in-a-century genius.
Even at his age, grandfather had not achieved his level of cultivation.
However, grandfather had told him not to be complacent, as there were others stronger than him.
How could this be possible?
"I’ve said it many times, why don’t you believe me?"
The elder put down the teacup, looking helplessly at the child.
"Lin Beichen, though ten years older than you, became famous near the age of twenty, but once he made a move, it shocked the world.
At the live event of the Starry Sky Association, he struck down a peak-level expert in one blow, countless masters besieged him but couldn’t stop his single attack..."
The two people in the private room were talking, while outside the private room, walking out of the airport VIP passage, was a group of people.
