Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 122: Six Months, Ninth Level of Qi Refining

Yes, the main purpose of Zhong Cang's test is to calculate how much time he can interval between taking the treasure.

In response to Zhong Cang's inquiry, Yan Lingwei nodded and said, "Yes, this is a unique secret technique of the Yan Family."

After speaking, she went home and took some crimson liquid.

She applied the liquid to the test paper and handed it back to Zhong Cang, saying, "Brother Cang, you can now stick the test paper to your heart and activate your cultivation technique."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Cang stuck the test paper and sat still, waiting.

"???"

This scene puzzled Yan Lingwei, and she couldn't help but say, "Brother Cang, you need to activate your cultivation technique for me to calculate the time it takes to eliminate impurities in your qi and blood. You need to activate the Body Tempering technique."

"I know, my cultivation technique is already activated."

"???"

Zhong Cang, who sat motionless, made it difficult for Yan Lingwei to see his cultivation state.

Just as she was puzzled, Zhong Cang, who seemed bored, spoke up.

"It seems that your test will take some time. While we have time, let's test your spiritual energy."

After speaking, Zhong Cang followed the instructions in the booklet and input his spiritual energy into a pure white test paper.

"Buzz..."

With Zhong Cang's output of spiritual energy, the test paper instantly emitted a brilliant light.

Different from the red color of qi and blood.

Zhong Cang's spiritual energy had five colors: red (fire), green (wood), yellow (earth), white (metal), and black (water).

No, it was six colors. In addition to the above five, there was a cluster of pure and clear gas surrounded by the five-colored spiritual energy. This was the spiritual energy cultivated by Zhong Cang's Qi Consumption Technique.

After the appearance of the pure and clear gas, there was no fluctuation.

The five-colored brilliance nourished the shadow of a beast on the test paper.

In front of Yan Lingwei, the five beasts resonated again.

But this time, the resonance only made Zhong Cang's five-colored spiritual energy slightly brighter.

The more peculiar change was the ripples of spiritual energy that spread out from the test paper due to the resonance of the five beasts.

This diffusion occurred ten times.

Seeing this, without Yan Lingwei's explanation, Zhong Cang understood the meaning revealed by the test paper.

"Slightly brighter. This means that the quality of my spiritual energy can only be considered as entering the Profound Level among cultivators, and it is the most ordinary among inner disciples."

"The ten times of diffusion from the test paper represents that my spiritual energy is ten times that of an ordinary person, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingwei nodded quickly.

"Just as Brother Cang said."

When speaking, Yan Lingwei's expression brightened slightly.

Although Zhong Cang's spiritual energy quality was still not too strong, the tenfold quantity far exceeded her expectations.

With such majestic spiritual energy, Zhong Cang had the qualifications to fight beyond his level, which made Zhong Cang's spiritual energy rating barely reach the Earth Level.

However, Yan Lingwei was not particularly happy because of Zhong Cang's spiritual energy rating.

What Zhong Cang cared more about was the impurities on the test paper.

Unlike the qi and blood test paper, the proportion of impurities in Zhong Cang's spiritual energy on the test paper reached an astonishing one-fifth.

Zhong Cang was not too surprised by this. He hadn't forgotten that he had just taken a drop of Moonlight Spirit Dew five or six days ago, which greatly increased his cultivation level.

It was normal for spiritual energy to contain impurities.

"No, these are not impurities. Moonlight Spirit Dew contains the purest spiritual energy. I just haven't completely refined it yet."

After sighing, Zhong Cang looked at Yan Lingwei and handed her the test paper.

"Can the speed of eliminating impurities in spiritual energy be calculated?"

"Yes."

After speaking, Yan Lingwei applied the liquid to the spiritual energy test paper and handed it over for Zhong Cang to stick it to his dantian.

At the same time, she didn't forget to remind Zhong Cang to activate his spiritual energy cultivation technique.

Zhong Cang nodded and stuck the spiritual energy test paper to his lower abdomen where the dantian was located, and then remained motionless.

"???"

Yan Lingwei couldn't understand why Zhong Cang would stick the test paper there and ignore it.

While she was puzzled, Zhong Cang took out the third and final test paper and stuck it to his forehead, then let his mental power surge towards the test paper.

"Hum!"

This time, the test paper made the most movement.

With the infusion of mental power, a sword chant sounded from the test paper.

The sharp sword chant caused slight damage to the test paper.

When Zhong Cang took the test paper down, he saw a bright sword shadow appearing on the test paper. This sword was extremely bright.

There was no need to ask, Zhong Cang knew that this was the Earth Level rating.

In addition to the long sword, there was also a pattern on the test paper that resembled a heart and an eye. Without any surprises, this should be the Heavenly Heart.

However, compared to the long sword, it was slightly dimmer, only reaching the Profound Level rating.

"Hiss..."

"The divine sense with an Earth Level rating has damaged the talisman. Brother Cang, your mental cultivation has surpassed your spiritual energy cultivation and reached the Late Stage of Qi Refining?"

Looking at the shocked Yan Lingwei, Zhong Cang raised an eyebrow.

"There's nothing to be surprised about. Isn't an Earth Level rating the foundation of a genius?"

This statement made Yan Lingwei smile bitterly.

"Brother Cang, you're really overestimating them. The difficulty of cultivating the physical body, mana, and divine consciousness are completely different. The physical body is easier to train, mana is easier to cultivate, but the realm of divine consciousness is extremely difficult to improve. Some Foundation Building Perfected Beings who advanced with the help of Foundation Building Pills are only at the third realm of divine consciousness, Brother Cang."

Amazement, envy, and beyond that, what emerged in Yan Lingwei's heart was surprise.

Her actions today tied her to Zhong Cang. The stronger Zhong Cang became, the happier she naturally felt.

While she was excited, Zhong Cang's attention was focused more on the colors on the test paper.

Just like the blood and spiritual energy test papers, Zhong Cang's divine consciousness test paper also had many impurities.

And these impurities were divided into two parts.

One part was starlight, which was the precious resources that Zhong Cang had not completely digested.

The other kind was dust, which floated beside the Sword Heart.

"To think that even the dust on the Sword Heart can be reflected. Ten spirit stones for one sheet, this test paper is worth it."

After just a glance at the dust on the Sword Heart, Zhong Cang ignored it. He intentionally left it there to maintain his humanity.

Apart from the dust, the "impurities" of starlight accounted for 15% of Zhong Cang's spiritual power, which furrowed his brow.

He didn't forget that the starlight tempering had lasted for three days.

In other words, the Moonlight Spirit Liquid that was taken at the same time took three days longer to digest.

As a result, the "impurities" of the Moonlight Spirit Liquid accounted for 20% of Zhong Cang's spiritual energy.

The starlight only accounted for 15%, which was obviously unreasonable.

"Is it because my divine consciousness is stronger, so the proportion of star souls is lower?"

"No, it can't be like this. My spiritual energy is ten times that of a normal cultivator, so the proportion of star souls in my divine consciousness shouldn't be much different."

Unable to understand, Zhong Cang decided to stop thinking about it and, as before, let Yan Lingwei apply the medicine on the divine consciousness test paper.

Then, Zhong Cang stuck the test paper on his forehead according to Yan Lingwei's instructions and entered a state of cultivation with his divine consciousness.

Yan Lingwei breathed a sigh of relief because this time, Zhong Cang finally didn't sit still but drew out the long sword at his waist. Sometimes he struck it, sometimes he observed it, and sometimes he looked up at the sky with indifference in his eyes.

Although this kind of cultivation was a bit strange, he was still cultivating, unlike the previous two times when he didn't show any signs of cultivation at all.

In this way, time slowly passed during Zhong Cang's cultivation, and soon, the time of an incense stick had passed.

When the time came, Yan Lingwei immediately reminded him to take down the three test papers from his heart, dantian, and forehead. Then, using the unique knowledge of the Yan Family, she processed and deduced the information on the three talismans.

After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, she deduced the results.

However, the results made her somewhat incredulous.

"No, how could the elimination of impurities be so fast?"

Startled, she began to deduce the results a second and third time.

It wasn't until she had deduced it four times that she stopped and looked at Zhong Cang with an astonished gaze.

Zhong Cang had anticipated this and asked directly, "Have you got the results?"

"Well, for the impurities in your qi and blood, you will need four days to eliminate them."

"For the impurities in your spiritual energy, it will take ten days."

"As for the impurities in your divine consciousness... five days."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Cang couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"?!?!"

"Wait, ten days and five days? Are you sure?"

"I have calculated it four times and I am 100% certain."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Cang was stunned.

Then, he clenched his fist tightly and a wave of ecstasy surged in his heart.

"It's actually so fast, I'm about to take off!"

It's no wonder he was so excited. For Zhong Cang, who possessed an attribute panel, his cultivation realm had been advancing rapidly. What had been troubling him all along was the accumulation of mana, physical body, and divine consciousness.

But now, Zhong Cang discovered that his biggest problem had been resolved.

"The digestion of treasures by the physical body, as I expected, is the slowest, taking one month to digest once."

Yes, in Zhong Cang's view, the digestion speed of the physical body was the slowest.

Although Zhong Cang could take the Master's bestowed essence of sunlight in just four days.

But he didn't forget that it had already been over twenty days since his physical body started digesting the treasures, and currently, only 4% of impurities remained in his body.

"Digesting 1% of impurities in one day is not bad."

After the physical body, there was the spiritual energy. Zhong Cang could digest 2% of impurities in spiritual treasures in one day.

As for the divine consciousness, it was even more exaggerated, being able to expel 3% of impurities in one day.

"For treasures of the same level, it would take me one month to completely digest the physical body type, fifteen days for the spiritual energy type, and ten days for the divine consciousness type... No, the tempering of the star soul requires three days, which is ten days."

This speed was already astonishing.

If treasures of the sun, moon, and stars were provided continuously, Zhong Cang was confident that within a year... no, within half a year, he could raise his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"Hiss..."

At this point, Zhong Cang also took a cold breath, feeling amazed at his progress.

On the other hand, Yan Lingwei, after her surprise, shook her head with regret.

"Brother Cang, your physique is special, with a high absorption rate for treasures. Unfortunately, the human body has its limits. Relying solely on resources, cultivators can never be piled up into strong individuals. What troubles us cultivators are realms and insights."

"Most cultivators accumulate enough, but their techniques cannot break through, so they can only be bound to a certain realm and unable to move."

"If only your physique, which easily absorbs treasures, could be exchanged with comprehension..."

As Yan Lingwei said this, she sighed for Zhong Cang.

However, before she could finish her regretful words, she noticed the uncontrollable smile on Zhong Cang's face.

"Exchange? No need. The way it is now is already enough for me."
