Demon Cultivator: Heaven and earth are the cauldron, and all living beings are the medicine

Inside the Council Hall of the Azure Bloom Sect, a young man in a yellow robe stood with hands clasped, bowing respectfully to the venerable elder before him.

The elder nodded with satisfaction, retrieved a vibrantly colored cultivation manual from his waist, handed it to the young man, and slowly began to speak.

"Good disciple, from this day forward, you are my, Hu Danian's, third personal disciple. This cultivation method is called the Five Elements Swordplay, created by me with all my life's effort. I trust this technique will aid you in your cultivation journey."

"Thank you, Master!" Ning Lu received the manual, gazing at the vibrant, multicolored glow it emitted, his tone respectful.

Although the cultivation method before him was clearly inferior to the Heart Demon Incantation he had obtained from Zhong Gui, it was still a remarkable technique in its own right, a timely gift for the young man.

"Look! It's the Five Elements Swordplay! The technique Elder Hu has researched with all his life's effort!"

"I once had the honor of seeing Senior Brother Sun Hao use this technique! Once this technique is unleashed, almost no one can withstand a single exchange with Senior Brother Sun Hao!"

"Although Elder Hu is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, I've heard that the quality of this technique is so high that even Core Formation experts praise it endlessly!"

…

The surrounding crowd buzzed with discussion, their gazes towards the yellow-robed youth filled with envy, jealousy, and awe.

"Alright, you've just completed a mission, and the journey must have been tiring. I won't disturb you any further. Rest well!"

Hu Danian patted the young man's shoulder, then turned and left the Council Hall.

The moment the elder stepped out of the Council Hall's door, the expression on his face changed dramatically, transforming from serene calmness to utter shock and surprise.

"This aura… it's Initial Qi Refinement! In just two days, this kid has broken through two realms simply by going out on a mission, reaching the Qi Refinement stage! He must have obtained quite a significant opportunity, but it also confirms that the quality of the treasure in his possession is even higher than I imagined. It truly makes me anticipate it even more!"

Hu Danian exclaimed inwardly, a sinister smile creeping onto his lips.

The faster the young man grew, the more delighted the elder became. Now that Ning Lu's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, it further proved the exceptional quality of the treasure in his possession.

Moreover, if the young man cultivated quickly enough to reach the Foundation Establishment stage in the shortest possible time, the elder would have a way to forcibly seize the Primordial Ancient Cauldron from the young man's hands.

A moment later, Ning Lu, holding a bulging bag of spirit stones, walked straight out of the Council Hall amidst the envious gazes of the surrounding crowd, heading towards the outer disciples' dormitory.

Before long, the young man arrived at his destination, entered his room, locked the door, and sat cross-legged on the spacious bed, lost in thought.

"Now I have a total of three cultivation methods: the Gravity Art, which I have already mastered, the Five Elements Swordplay that Hu Danian just gave me, and the Heart Demon Incantation I obtained from Zhong Gui. The abundance of techniques is both a blessing and a curse, making cultivation quite challenging. It's truly a happy problem!"

The Heart Demon Incantation was of too high a grade; even someone as strong as the Nascent Soul realm's Zhong Gui had only a rough understanding of it. Legend says this technique was created by an ancient demonic master, and Zhong Gui obtained it by chance.

With Ning Lu's current cultivation of merely the Qi Refinement stage, he couldn't even begin to comprehend it, so he had to exclude this technique for now.

So, the choices before the young man were the Gravity Art and the Five Elements Swordplay. Although the Five Elements Swordplay was good, the fully mastered Gravity Art was also not to be underestimated for the current young man.

After struggling repeatedly, Ning Lu finally chose the Gravity Art, wanting to take advantage of the remaining free time today to cultivate it to perfection!

Thus, the young man sat cross-legged, his body straight, his brows furrowed, a faint blue light constantly flickering in his hands, concentrating intently on comprehending the final essence of the Gravity Art.

Time flew by like a white horse passing through a crack, and a scorching sun slowly set. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the horizon blood-red, casting waves of rosy light, illuminating the vibrant Azure Bloom Sect.

In the room, the light in the young man's hands, sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly burst forth, blindingly bright. The faint blue light illuminated every corner of the room, and the air seemed to constantly emanate an indescribable power.

At this moment, the young man's Gravity Art was cultivated to perfection!

"Success!"

A smile appeared on Ning Lu's lips, and he exhaled a long breath of turbid air, contentedly watching the faint blue light flickering in his hands.

The young man lowered his hands, placing them on his knees, and the faint blue light in his palms disappeared.

The next moment, with a slight thought, a large wooden table in the room rose into the air, hovering in mid-air. The table moved in whatever direction the young man thought!

This was the power of the Gravity Art cultivated to perfection! It solved the fatal flaw of emitting a faint blue light from the hands when casting the spell, which made it easy for others to detect.

Now, the young man only needed a slight thought to perfectly activate the Gravity Art, manipulating all objects within a ten-mile radius, as long as the weight did not exceed the limit he could bear. Everything could be used by the young man!

Such a technique, considered a disgrace by the sect, actually contained such great power!

Only because the people in the sect had labeled it in their hearts from the beginning when they cultivated this technique. The Gravity Art had obvious shortcomings in the early stage of cultivation, and its power was very limited, so it seemed very impractical in the eyes of the world.

But little did they know that the Gravity Art was a technique with the characteristic of a counterattack, which required accumulation over time, continuous accumulation, and only when cultivated to perfection could its power truly be revealed!

This was like many people in the world who turn the tables against the wind. They did not have outstanding talent, but they had perseverance and determination that ordinary people could not match. By honing and accumulating day after day, year after year, they gradually stood out in the long years and stood proudly in the world!

The Gravity Art being regarded as a shameful technique reflected the impetuous and impatient nature of the Azure Bloom Sect disciples.

And this was often the case with people in the world.

When doing something, after working hard for a week or half a month, if they still did not see significant results, they gradually lost patience and chose to give up.

But which of the people who achieve great things in the world has not been tempered by the years, struggling painfully in one long night after another, accumulating and developing in one day and night after another, so that they can drip water through stone and stand out from thousands of heroes!

The Gravity Art had been cultivated to perfection, but the young man still did not mean to stop. He took out the multicolored Five Elements Swordplay from his sleeve and continued to cultivate without stopping.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Just at this moment, a sudden knock sounded, interrupting the young man's focused thoughts.

Upon seeing this, Ning Lu felt puzzled. He did not have a single friend in this sect, so why would someone come to him?

"Who is it?" The young man asked loudly towards the door, puzzled.

"Junior Brother Ning Lu, it's me, Sun Hao. Now that we are both personal disciples under the same master, I am here to congratulate you!"

A young man's voice sounded, with a hint of conspiracy in his tone.

Ning Lu heard this, then stood up from the bed, went straight to the door, opened the door, and let the young man at the door in.

"Senior Brother Sun's kindness is appreciated, there is no need to be so polite."

"Alas, Senior Brother's visit to you, in addition to congratulations, also wants to invite you to complete a mission with me." The young man crossed his arms and slowly said.

"What mission?"

"There are many wolf dens in the nearby mountains. A wolf tide will erupt and attack the sect every four or five years. Now, calculating the time, I am afraid that the wolf tide will erupt again in less than a year. Therefore, I hope to invite you to complete this reconnaissance mission together."

"There are many more suitable candidates within the sect than me. Why did Senior Brother choose me?"

The young man's eyes were wary. He did not have a good impression of the young man in front of him, and he questioned him.

"This is not my intention, but Master's intention." The young man said lightly, calmly spitting out a few words.

"It's actually Hu Danian's intention?" The young man exclaimed inwardly, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, carefully analyzing his current situation, and struggling in his heart.

His current cultivation had reached the Qi Refinement realm, and with the addition of Zhong Gui's soul being refined in the Primordial Ancient Cauldron, and with many methods blessed upon him, he was actually not afraid of the young man in front of him.

"Okay, then I will go with you to the wolf's nest to complete the reconnaissance mission!" Ning Lu said powerfully.

"Great! I'll call you early tomorrow morning!"

As soon as the voice fell, the young man pushed the door and left, leaving only the sound echoing in the corridor.
