23: Chapter 23 The True Application of Decomposition Talent in Cultivation

"Since there are people who can keep up with my cultivation speed, it shouldn't be a problem for me to increase it a little more, right?"

Fang Yuan silently took out a Top-grade Qi Gathering Pill.

A Low Grade Qi-Condensing Pill has ten times the medicinal power of a Low Grade Qi-Nourishing Pill.

Similarly, the top grade version has a ten-fold difference.

As the Top-grade Qi Gathering Pill entered his stomach, it immediately released a massive amount of medicinal power.

Fang Yuan's three major Cultivation Techniques simultaneously operated at full power, dividing the Spiritual Qi into three portions that flowed into his Dantian, Physical Body, and Sea of Consciousness, respectively.

Every part of his body was like a glutton, frantically devouring the Spiritual Qi.

Ten minutes later, the medicinal power was completely drained.

"The demand for Spiritual Qi for Body Refining is getting larger and larger!"

He was surprised to discover that fifty percent of the Spiritual Qi had been plundered by his Physical Body.

Thirty percent had been swallowed by the Sea of Consciousness to strengthen his Spiritual Sense and nourish his Soul.

Only a mere twenty percent was poured into his Dantian.

"Speechless. Are Top-grade Qi Gathering Pills already not enough for me?"

Only then did Fang Yuan realize how immense the resource pressure was for cultivating his essence, Qi, and spirit simultaneously.

"Even Top-grade Qi Gathering Pills are starting to not be enough!"

Suddenly, Fang Yuan thought of something.

He took out a piece of Refined Iron, and then a golden light flashed across his teeth.

The [Shatter Gold] talent activated.

This was an innate ability from the Great Strength Ox, capable of shattering metal.

His teeth bit into the Refined Iron, easily chewing it into iron fragments, which Fang Yuan then swallowed in one gulp.

After entering his body, the Refined Iron began to be refined by the [Gold-Devouring] Talent.

It immediately transformed into wisps of metallic qi, which merged into his bones.

The Cloud Body Art launched in tandem, refining this metallic qi to strengthen his Physical Body.

The metallic qi was not used to directly metallize his bones; instead, it was taken over by the Cloud Body Art and turned into nutrients for growth.

The progress of his Body Refining was indeed slowly rising.

After swallowing another Top-grade Qi Gathering Pill, his Physical Body's demand for Spiritual Qi decreased significantly.

"I really have become a Gold-Swallowing beast now!" Fang Yuan laughed at himself, feeling that his cultivation had become overly exaggerated.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed Fang Yuan's mind.

"Wait, why do I have to shatter the metal myself?"

Fang Yuan pressed his finger onto the Refined Iron.

"Decompose!"

In an instant, the Refined Iron changed again before his eyes, directly turning into two things.

[metallic qi] + [Iron Dregs]

Wasn't that mass of metallic qi the product of his [Gold-Devouring] Talent after refining? Moreover, the metallic qi produced by the Gold-Devouring Talent might not be as pure as that from the Decomposition Talent.

Fang Yuan opened his mouth and inhaled, drawing that mass of metallic qi directly into his mouth, where it transformed into nutrients for his cultivation.

Before long, he had finished absorbing it, and his cultivation speed was even faster than before! Furthermore, he could achieve cultivation results without having to swallow metal.

The same logic applies!

Fang Yuan took out a Top-grade Qi Gathering Pill. He tapped his finger on it. "Decompose!"

In an instant, the Medicinal Pill transformed into a ball of Spiritual Qi and a bit of Plant Dregs.

That ball of Spiritual Qi quickly dissipated.

Fang Yuan opened his mouth and inhaled, and the ball of Spiritual Qi was wrapped in spiritual power, sent into his mouth, and quickly swallowed into his body to be digested.

The absorption efficiency had greatly increased!

The Spiritual Qi that he couldn't absorb in time dissipated into the cultivation room. It didn't dissipate into the world, but was instead bound by the cultivation room's Formation!

"Wait a minute, since Medicinal Pills, after being decomposed, ultimately turn into pure Spiritual Qi for absorption, why don't I just directly decompose Spirit Medicine and Spirit Ores into Spiritual Qi and metallic qi to absorb?"

Fang Yuan took out some Waste Pills and waste materials, and decomposed them all at once!

The Waste Pills and waste materials decomposed into herbal powder, and then further decomposed into pure Spiritual Qi, which dissipated into the cultivation room.

The Spiritual Qi in the entire cultivation room instantly reached an extremely exaggerated level.

Fang Yuan sat cross-legged in the center of the cultivation room, frantically operating his three Cultivation Techniques, rapidly absorbing the Spiritual Qi within the room.

He also took out those waste artifacts and waste iron, decomposed them as well, and turned them into a massive amount of metallic qi.

Fang Yuan accepted everything without refusal, absorbing it all into his body.

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Yuan felt the concentration of Spiritual Qi and metallic qi had dropped significantly. He opened his eyes in confusion.

On the ground was a thick layer of Plant Dregs and stone powder. The Spiritual Qi and metallic qi in the air had become much thinner.

Fang Yuan widened his eyes: "I absorbed all of those waste materials and waste artifacts?"

Fang Yuan looked inward at his own body. A sixth complete cloud pattern had appeared on his bones!

His Body Refining cultivation had actually stepped into the sixth level of the Body Refining Realm during this cultivation session!

In his Dantian, his spiritual power had grown to sixty percent, a great increase!

In his Sea of Consciousness, the quantity of his Spiritual Sense had increased from six hundred strands to six hundred and fifty, and the strength of each strand had also increased significantly!

"As expected, this is the true way to use the Decomposition Talent for cultivation!" Fang Yuan exclaimed.

Spirit Materials being decomposed into the purest Spiritual Qi and metallic qi was not only easier to absorb, but also saved the hard work of intermediate Alchemy and Artifact Refining; one could only say his perspective had been too limited before.

He no longer cared for the remaining Spiritual Qi in the cultivation room, so he brought in the twelve Spirit Beast cubs and let them inhale and exhale this Spiritual Qi on their own.

Fang Yuan saw that after these Spirit Beast cubs entered the cultivation room, they naturally began to inhale and exhale the Spiritual Qi.

Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan took out some Spirit Stones and proceeded to decompose them.

The pure Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Stones was directly decomposed by him and spread throughout the cultivation room. The cultivation room became filled with Spiritual Qi once again.

"Huh, the amount of Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Stones is much higher!" Fang Yuan's eyes lit up.

Compared to the amount of Spiritual Qi in Spirit Medicine and Spirit Materials, the amount of Spiritual Qi in an equal volume of Spirit Stones was not much. But the problem was that an equal volume of Spirit Medicine could be exchanged for dozens or even hundreds of times the amount of Spirit Stones!

The cost-effectiveness of Spirit Stones had suddenly shot up!

"Others have no way to decompose Spirit Stones like I do, decomposing all the Impurities from the Spiritual Qi to turn it into the purest and gentlest ball of Spiritual Qi! The Spiritual Qi in Spirit Medicine has Impurities and is hard to refine, which is why Alchemy is needed to harmonize it. But I don't need to! For me, the most cost-effective resource is actually Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Fang Yuan realized, feeling a sense of joy in his heart as if he had discovered a great secret.

What made Fang Yuan even happier was that under the infusion of so much Spiritual Qi, each of the Spirit Beast cubs began to show signs of Awakening their talents.

The first to show a change was the Black-Scaled Rat; it was not only absorbing Spiritual Qi, but also additionally absorbing some metallic qi.

The Bloodline within its body was nourished, and it finally reached the conditions for Awakening.

Under Fang Yuan's gaze, the Black-Scaled Rat's body suddenly expanded by a circle, and a suction force erupted from within its body, immediately devouring a large amount of Spiritual Qi, and its body began to emit the aura belonging to a First-Grade Low Grade Yao Beast.

A Dantian space had also appeared within the Spirit Beast, and it began to produce some Yao power!

The Black-Scaled Rat's intelligence seemed to have increased tremendously; at this moment, a look of fawning actually appeared on its rat face.
