193: Chapter 193 Earth Immortal Technique

The chief examiner was a peak Foundation Establishment Spirit Planter. Seeing this spell, with its vitality principles manifest, he could not help but nod.

"A Perfection-level Spirit Plant Breeding Technique. Not bad."

However, when that gentle soothing effect appeared, it made the three examiners feel a unique kind of spirituality.

The elderly chief examiner, who had been stroking his beard and chuckling, was so excited that he accidentally pulled out some of his own beard and blurted out,

"Does the spell have a primordial spirit? No, that is not right. It only has a faint spirituality. It should just be that he has touched upon the edge of it."

Ling Ping, who was still observing the results there, although not a Spirit Planter, still had some understanding of what it meant for a spell to have a primordial spirit.

This level of spell mastery could only possibly be grasped by cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core stage or by Nascent Soul cultivators.

Even if it was just scratching the surface, it was enough to support a breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.

Ling Ping somewhat believed that this Daoist Bi Luo wanted to come to the Diling Sect to find a path forward. Despite having such talent, loose cultivators could only be accommodated in their Diling Blessed Land, which provided the opportunity to advance to the Golden Core stage.

After the spirit plant seed sprouted rapidly, the Bi Luoshui Avatar tossed it into the spirit field and cast another spirit water spell, causing the tender shoots of the spirit plant to sprout green leaves and grow rapidly.

Although this spirit water spell did not have that sense of spirituality, it was also at the Perfection level.

The subsequent spirit plant forcing technique, flowering, and fruiting were all at the Perfection level, leaving the group of Spirit Planters stunned.

Finally, the spirit plant was cultivated to the late Foundation Establishment stage, but it stopped there, likely due to a lack of sufficient mana.

The chief examiner said with some regret,

"It is a pity that Daoist Bi Luo's cultivation is a bit lacking, only at the middle Foundation Establishment stage. If it were higher, his spirit planting skills might even reach the Peak level."

"However, having already reached the status of a High-grade Spirit Planter, if you further your studies in our Academy, you should be able to quickly make up for your shortcomings, Daoist."

Subsequently, the Bi Luoshui Avatar was granted the position of Junior Researcher at the Diling Academy, officially entering the Academy system.

He then turned to Ling Ping and said,

"Daoist Ling Ping, I wonder if the Academy has any cultivation methods for me to switch to? My current set of ordinary Foundation Establishment techniques is nearing its end."

"Yes, as a Junior Researcher, you have the benefit of choosing one Golden Core cultivation method. Afterward, if you need to exchange for anything, you must use your achievements to earn contribution points to exchange for resources, cultivation methods, and high-grade spirit fields."

Ling Ping led the Bi Luoshui Avatar through pavilions and towers with flying eaves before arriving at a four-story tower with the words "Scripture Repository" written on it.

Moreover, these were the same pictographic characters that the Incarnation had seen from time to time during this period. However, unlike the Chinese characters on Blue Star, these characters were more complex and even contained a faint trace of legal principles within them.

"It might be a type of script derived from a certain system of law runes."

Just like how the [Supreme Council of Blue Star Human Civilization] is now beginning to systematically organize, count, and standardize law runes, striving to design a set of rune scripts universal to the entire system, capable of carrying the profound essence of cultivation methods, ensuring that the original meaning is preserved to the greatest extent when written down, and facilitating inheritance.

The two walked into the Scripture Repository. Ling Ping signaled for him to take out his Junior Researcher identification badge, and they went to the registration desk, where she spoke softly to a very old Golden Core cultivator who was exuding an aura of decay.

"Real Person, this is the new Daoist Bi Luo, who wishes to exchange for a Golden Core cultivation method."

This old Golden Core cultivator seemed to pay no attention to the two of them, and an invisible force took the badge.

Ling Ping was accustomed to this and led the Bi Luoshui Avatar to the third floor.

However, she transmitted her voice to the Bi Luoshui Avatar, saying,

"Daoist, do not mind it. This Real Person has reached the end of his lifespan and is about to face the Heavenly Tribulation of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. Coming here is just to spend his remaining years in peace."

According to the information on longevity tribulations that the Incarnation had previously collected, Foundation Establishment cultivators here lived for 200 years, Golden Core cultivators for 500 years, and Nascent Soul cultivators for 1000 years.

The higher the level of life, the more the original lifespan is discounted.

This world has been continuously suppressing the group of cultivators who endlessly plunder spiritual energy, causing Deity Transformation cultivators to have become a legend, with only a few Golden Core families having sporadic records.

"In the year XX of the Age of Dharma Decline, the Qingxuan Sect suddenly produced an image that soared into the sky, covering ten thousand miles, and a lightning tribulation descended upon the world."

The Incarnation also judged, based on the lifespans of different cultivators, that there were no Void Refinement cultivators or higher in this world, and at most, there were a few old, undying Deity Transformation cultivators hiding in some corner, barely clinging to life.

Of course, even such Deity Transformation cultivators were not something the Incarnation could confront at the Intermediate Level 1. It was even uncertain whether the Intermediate Level 2 entities could handle them, as these cultivation systems had been developing for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.

After all, for a force with rich aggressive experience, it was to be expected that they would have large-scale war weapons similar to their own transcendent battleships, which was why the Bi Luoshui Avatar had entered here to carefully investigate and probe.

When the two arrived at the third floor, the cultivation method jade slips placed here were much fewer than on the two floors below. There were four major categories: Body Refining, Qi Refining, Earth Immortal, and Spirit Refining. In addition, there were some technique jade slips related to the Golden Core stage, as well as great arts used by Golden Core cultivators.

Of course, these technique jade slips required at least two or three times as many contribution points as cultivation methods of the same level; such high-end technologies that could increase productivity were naturally incomparable to those cultivation methods.

The Incarnation discovered that the emphasis on techniques here was higher, which was very different from the situation in the Southern Region, where there was a constant pursuit of higher cultivation methods and more resources.

The Bi Luoshui Avatar first examined the three categories of Body Refining, Qi Refining, and Spirit Refining. [Myriad Phenomena Star Body], [Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique], [Great Void Spirit Condensation Method], and other cultivation methods were numerous. Just by looking at the prefaces, with his vision as a Zifu True Person, he could deduce the general idea.

A slight operation of his Yin Spirit thought allowed him to grasp most of these cultivation methods.

"It is a pity that, apart from saving and more precisely using every wisp of spiritual energy and mana, there is nothing to draw inspiration from. The various divine abilities in the system I created can easily achieve this, and the consumption is even lower."

The minor divine abilities and Purple Mansion Divine Abilities carried by [Heavenly Talisman Dao Foundation Cultivator] and [Supernatural Purple Mansion Master] represented a deeper corner of a certain law, capable of achieving an effect close to utilizing the law itself, which was naturally not comparable to the level of still remaining in utilizing shallow principles to cultivate and cast spells.

"However, the way each level here connects to the next and the detailed classification is not something my current system can compare to."

Finally, he checked the Earth Immortal cultivator lineage, which was currently the most prosperous in the Central Region.

He picked up a cultivation method inscribed with [Book of Raising Dwellings and Cultivating Land].

"Starting from the mundane, raise a dwelling and cultivate in resonance with it. You can obtain a spiritual field for a Daoist temple to achieve Foundation Establishment. Use spiritual materials to build a spiritual structure, plant spirit plants to harmonize the Five Elements and Yin and Yang to elevate the treasured land, and form a terrestrial core."

His Yin Spirit thought carefully deduced, but because there was divine sense monitoring this place at all times, a single Yin Spirit thought could not currently achieve large-scale modification of these cultivators' cognitive logic, so he could only follow the rules here.

He put down this cultivation method and picked up another, [Inner Landscape Spirit Cultivation Scripture].
