362: Chapter 362 Mid-grade Heavenly Level Futon

The Spirit Stones in the Spirit Stone bag decreased at a Speed visible to the naked eye. Rich spiritual energy was extracted by the power of the Heavenly Dao, surging continuously into the prayer mat. The originally ordinary prayer mat gradually emitted a faint golden halo, and fine spiritual patterns began to surface on its exterior. The Speed of spiritual energy gathering grew faster and faster, as the Spiritual Qi of the entire cave-heaven surged toward the prayer mat.

The once bulging Spirit Stone bags gradually became shriveled, going from full and plump to slightly collapsed, and finally to completely flat. The change in each Spirit Stone bag signified the consumption of a massive amount of Spirit Stones.

Qin Changsheng's expression was focused and unmoved. He could clearly perceive that the mellow spiritual energy within the Spirit Stones was constantly reshaping the Foundation of the prayer mat through the power of the Heavenly Dao, altering its material and spirituality.

The ordinary fibers of the prayer mat were soaked and tempered by spiritual energy, gradually shedding their coarse texture to become lustrous and smooth. The original faint green color slowly turned into a warm jade hue, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi transformed from weak to increasingly mellow and condensed.

When the ninth Spirit Stone bag was completely consumed, the golden pillar of Heavenly Dao light suddenly contracted, eventually pouring entirely into the prayer mat and vanishing completely.

At this moment, the once ordinary prayer mat had undergone an earth-shattering transformation: it had turned into a Spirit Jade Prayer Mat that was lustrous throughout. The jade quality was delicate, emitting a faint warm glow, and its surface was covered with fine and complex spiritual patterns. As the patterns flowed, they emitted a rich and pure Spiritual Qi. A faint Pressure of a heaven-grade magical tool surrounded it; it was now a Heaven-Grade Medium Grade Spirit Jade Prayer Mat.

With a wave of his hand, the Spirit Jade Prayer Mat landed gently before Qin Changsheng. It felt warm yet cool to the touch, and a stream of pure Spiritual Qi instantly surged into his body through his fingers, making him feel refreshed and his mind clear.

He nodded slightly and thought to himself: Ninety million Spirit Stones were indeed not wasted. It had directly enhanced into a Heaven-Grade Medium Grade Spirit Jade Prayer Mat, far exceeding his expectations.

Just then, the characteristics of this Heaven-Grade Medium Grade Spirit Jade Prayer Mat appeared on the attribute panel.

[Spirit Jade Prayer Mat: Heaven-Grade Medium Grade Magical Artifact]

[1. Spiritual Qi Convergence: Can increase the gathering Speed of surrounding Spiritual Qi by ten times, allowing the cultivator to quickly absorb Spiritual Qi while cultivating on the prayer mat, greatly increasing Cultivation efficiency;]

[2. Mental Stability: Can suppress the cultivator's Heart Demon, preventing Qi Deviation during Cultivation, while assisting in comprehension and improving the efficiency of Dao enlightenment;]

[3. Spiritual Power Purification: Can purify the Spiritual Qi absorbed into the body, removing Impurities, making the cultivator's spiritual power more pure and their Foundation more stable.]

Looking at the characteristics of the Spirit Jade Prayer Mat, Qin Changsheng's eyes were filled with joy.

These characteristics were entirely prepared for Cultivation.

With this Heaven-Grade Medium Grade Spirit Jade Prayer Mat, Qin Changsheng's Cultivation Speed would receive a massive boost.

Cultivation that originally required seven or eight years to advance...

...would now only take about three years at most.

Qin Changsheng sat cross-legged on the Spirit Jade Prayer Mat and instantly felt a stream of pure Spiritual Qi surge from the mat into his body, flowing through his Meridians and nourishing the spiritual power throughout his body.

...

Time flew by like a weaver's shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, a year had quietly passed.

Over the past year, Qin Changsheng had cut off almost all external distractions, sitting cross-legged on the Spirit Jade Prayer Mat all day long to Cultivate diligently without a moment's slack.

The major characteristics of the Spirit Jade Prayer Mat were now being utilized to their fullest: [Spiritual Qi Convergence] increased the Speed of Spiritual Qi absorption tenfold, allowing him to quickly absorb pure Spiritual Qi without expending too much mental effort.

[Spiritual Power Purification] removed all Impurities from the Spiritual Qi, making his spiritual power increasingly condensed and mellow, and his Foundation more stable; [Mental Stability] suppressed Heart Demons and assisted in Dao enlightenment, ensuring he never had the slightest deviation during the Cultivation process and making his comprehension of Cultivation Techniques smoother and smoother.

After a year of dedicated hard Cultivation, Qin Changsheng's Cultivation level had seen a small, steady increase. The spiritual power throughout his body became more condensed and his aura more stable. Every movement exuded a calm and sharp demeanor that matched his Cultivation.

Not only that, but the Cultivation Technique he practiced had also seen a significant Breakthrough with the assistance of the Spirit Jade Prayer Mat. The technique's circulation became smoother, the spiritual power he could mobilize became more robust, and his offense and defense were more powerful.

In his occasional spare time, Qin Changsheng would use the Heavenly Dao [Intelligence] trait to investigate the external situation, especially the movements of the Yao Race.

During this year, he heard intermittently that the Yao army in the north had experienced another large-scale mutiny due to a shortage of Spirit Stones and intensified internal strife. The soldiers' dissatisfaction grew more intense, and the offensive on the front lines had come to a complete standstill. The struggle between Shen Guhong and the Grand Elder had also become increasingly white-hot, with both sides harboring mutual suspicion and engaging in open and secret infighting; the interior of the Yao Race was already in a mess.

Upon hearing this news, Qin Changsheng merely smiled faintly, his heart unperturbed.

The intensifying internal chaos of the Yao Race was already within his calculations, and the development of the situation over the past year was completely in line with his expectations.

With the Yao Race unable to look after themselves, they no longer had the energy to concern themselves with the border of the Zhenyao Pass, nor the mind to investigate the interception of the Spirit Stones years ago. This gave him ample time to Cultivate diligently and steadily improve his own strength.

But these were not the things that made Qin Changsheng the happiest.

In this past year, no matter how much his Cultivation improved or his techniques broke through, and no matter how the Yao Race's situation developed in his expected direction, nothing compared to the one thing he was looking forward to with great joy.

A new year had arrived, and according to the rules of the attribute panel, every year that passed allowed him to draw a new Heavenly Dao trait.

Qin Changsheng slowly opened his eyes and looked at his attribute panel.

"Draw a new Golden Trait!" Qin Changsheng said.

As Qin Changsheng's words fell, a dazzling golden pillar of light erupted from the attribute panel.

It reached straight to the ceiling of the Cave-Heaven Blessed Land. The golden light was eye-piercingly bright, instantly illuminating the entire cave-heaven, even overshadowing the spiritual halo emitted by the Spirit Jade Prayer Mat.

Within the pillar of light, countless golden runes flowed slowly, emitting a vast and mysterious aura. This was the sign that a Golden Trait was about to manifest.

Qin Changsheng stared intently at the golden pillar of light, his breathing slightly hurried, his heart full of anticipation.

He could clearly feel the power of the Heavenly Dao rapidly gathering. Countless blurred trait shadows floated and flowed within the pillar of light, each shadow containing a different power, and he would draw his new trump card from among them.

A moment later, a golden shadow slowly landed in his palm, turning into a golden rune that instantly merged into his body. A warm and powerful force swept through his entire body, flowing along his Meridians and finally gathering in his Sea of Consciousness, merging with his original Heavenly Dao traits.
