Organizing the Temporary Cave, the colors had brightened significantly. Outside the cave was a desolate landscape, with the occasional sound of wild beasts calling out.
Xu Feng took a Fourth-Level Hunger-Reducing Pill from his space and swallowed it. The energy he had expended overnight quickly recovered. Suddenly, he noticed that on the Eight Immortals Table where the Blue and White Porcelain was placed, several flower petals were scattered. The Inducing Spirit Flower had surprisingly bloomed and wilted during this time; he just couldn't remember when it had last bloomed.
Next to the petals lay a dozen slender crescent-shaped fruits, which turned out to be seeds of the Inducing Spirit Flower. Xu Feng slapped his forehead; of course, with so many medicinal herbs, where were the seeds? He couldn't possibly search everywhere for seedlings.
There must be seeds. Xu Feng rearranged Yang Chenglin's belongings and carefully searched through each item. Finally, in the middle of a pile of herbs, he discovered a Jade Box. Upon opening it, he found that the Jade Box was divided into several compartments, each containing large Herb Seeds, with labels indicating what type of herb they were—there were more than thirty varieties.
Finding the seeds made Xu Feng breathe a sigh of relief; these were all treasures.
The Pillar of Stone was a defensive formation without any concealment function. Xu Feng used several large stones to block the entrance of the cave and covered it with some dry grass. From the outside, it appeared to be just a cave. This was mainly to prevent misunderstandings; typically, cultivators would not enter if they saw a formation protecting a cave, and wild beasts could not break through the formation at all.
Having entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, Xu Feng could completely cut off his reliance on worldly food and primarily satisfy his body's needs through cultivation. The elixirs he had stored were enough to cover his expenses for several years.
Time passed quickly, and during this period, Xu Feng began practicing Golden Line Thousand Miles Kill. Remarkably, the Inducing Spirit Flower bloomed and wilted twice during this time. According to its blooming cycle, which took about twenty years for two cycles, this particular Inducing Spirit Flower could fully mature in less than ten years.
Xu Feng had practiced Thousand Miles Kill before but had yet to break through. It was one of the most powerful yet difficult techniques among the Five Elements. Since Xu Feng practiced Five Elements Cultivation, if he crossed over from Jinxi to study Water Element techniques, it would affect his speed.
After ten attempts, Xu Feng finally succeeded in cultivating the first layer of Thousand Miles Kill. At the same time, the Inducing Spirit Flower completed its twentieth bloom and wilt; it had fully matured. Yang Chenglin still had several empty Jade Boxes left in his space, presumably for storing medicinal herbs. Xu Feng took out the Inducing Spirit Flower and stored it properly.
Opening the seed box, he took two Immortal Grass seeds from among the densely packed seeds and placed them into the Blue and White Porcelain container. The Immortal Grass was not very large; given the diameter of the Blue and White Porcelain container, he could plant four or five plants. However, considering that Yang Chenglin's previous stock did not have duplicates, Xu Feng abandoned the idea of planting multiple varieties. Less than a moment after placing the seeds in, two seedlings had already sprouted out of the bottle's mouth.
Xu Feng decided to plant two seeds also considering their survival rate; unexpectedly, both germinated. However, one seedling was clearly weaker than the other. Once it broke through the bottle's mouth, that particular seedling stopped growing entirely and gradually withered away until it died inside the bottle. It seemed that this Blue and White Porcelain could indeed only support one plant at a time.
From seed placement to growth into shape took less than half a day; they grew almost visibly before his eyes—a miracle indeed. However, forming did not equate to maturity; for this type of Immortal Grass to fetch a good price, it needed at least a hundred years.
And for Blue and White Porcelain, a hundred years was merely a short five days.
After completing Thousand Miles Kill's Cultivation Method, Xu Feng immediately proceeded to practice its Combat Techniques. The Combat Techniques consisted of ten moves divided into three layers: Ten Steps Kill, One Step Kill, and Step-by-Step Kill. The first two layers each contained four moves while the final layer only had two moves.
Ten Steps Kill, as the name suggests, refers to the technique of Ten Steps Kill itself, highlighting the intricacy of its swordsmanship. Ten Steps Kill consists of four strikes: Ten Steps Without a Trace, Ten Steps Without Sound, Ten Steps Without Life, and Ten Steps Without Soul. The first two strikes rely on speed to achieve victory, emphasizing that speed is invincible. The latter two strikes rely on strength to win, asserting that sheer force can break all techniques.
Learning Combat Techniques is a strong suit of Xu Feng. Xu Feng is a mortal who has transformed into a master, which is nearly unique in Modern Clerk, as most individuals with a Spiritual Root begin their training from Qi cultivation, refining their bodies through Qi. This skips the foundational training of essence, bones, and skin, much like how Blue and White Porcelain accelerates the growth of medicinal herbs. Therefore, Xu Feng's understanding of swordsmanship and Combat Techniques is far inferior to that of mortal masters who rely on Combat Techniques for survival.
After five days, Xu Feng comprehended the sword intent of the four strikes of Ten Steps Kill, and after modification, integrated them into Combat Techniques in a form that was neither knife nor sword.
Having broken through the first layer of Thousand Miles Kill, Xu Feng gained a new powerful option in Archery Skills: the indomitable Golden Arrow Qi, which undoubtedly became Xu Feng's strongest killing move.
With the Golden Attribute Cultivation Method and Combat Techniques under Xu Feng's full dedication to hidden cultivation, he could only reach fifteen. Combined with his previous training time, breaking through the first layer of Jinxi actually took nearly a month.
With less than twenty days until the Liuxiang Immortal Path Conference, Xu Feng decided to practice another two systems; whether he would succeed depended on luck.
Following the order of the five elements, the next technique to study was the Water Element Technique, specifically the Earth-Level Cultivation Method from Qin Garden, known as Weak Water Three Thousand. This source differs from the other four systems practiced by Xu Feng, but fortunately, both the Control Vein Technique and Arrow Meridian would not be affected by the Cultivation Method.
After three days, there was progress with the Water Elemental Energy, but there remained a significant gap to reach the first layer of Weak Water Three Thousand. At this pace, it would take at least half a month; thus, by the time of the Liuxiang Immortal Path Conference, Xu Feng would not complete the first layer of the Wood Element.
Half a month to reach the first layer—such speed would make even those claiming to have a Spiritual Root, like those with a Single Spiritual Root, feel ashamed. However, Xu Feng was still dissatisfied; he had too many treasures on him. If he wasn't careful, he could easily become a target. Without enough power, he felt insecure.
Looking at a pile of colorful medicinal herbs, an idea suddenly struck Xu Feng.
He took out all his Fifth-Rank Pills. Excluding those for detoxification and healing, there were dozens specifically for replenishing spiritual power, including seven or eight Foundation Pills.
Xu Feng broke open one Foundation Pill and swallowed it. He hadn't consumed any Foundation Pills during his foundation establishment phase; although he no longer needed them now, their medicinal effects were still beneficial for him.
Activating the cultivation method of Weak Water Three Thousand, the spiritual power from the Foundation Pill gradually transformed under its guidance and ultimately merged into his Dantian as Water Elemental Energy.
Without pausing, he consumed three more Foundation Pills in succession. With each one ingested, he refined it using his cultivation method as his Water Elemental Energy rapidly increased.
After consuming four Foundation Pills, Xu Feng shifted his gaze to other elixirs, specifically another Fifth-Rank Pill. Without hesitation, Xu Feng swallowed twenty more Fifth-Rank Pills in quick succession.
Finally, on the seventh attempt, he broke through to the first layer of Weak Water Three Thousand.
Calculating the time, there were only twelve hours left until the Liuxiang Immortal Path Conference, and he needed to leave five hours early to meet in Xian City. This left him with only a brief seven hours for actual cultivation.
Determined, Xu Feng skipped the Combat Techniques of the Water Element Technique and directly focused on the final series: Mu Ling Dao.
With prior experience, Xu Feng began to use elixirs aggressively from the second layer onward. His spiritual power indeed advanced rapidly. By the time he consumed nearly thirty Fifth-Rank Pills at the fourth layer, Xu Feng was on the verge of a breakthrough.
At the fifth layer, his spiritual power continued to rise but he was unable to enter the first layer.
Time was running out. Xu Feng took out a Sixth-Level Elixir, the Concentration Pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.
With a roar, Xu Feng finally broke through to the first layer of Mu Ling Dao. In the final moments before departure, he completed the first layer of Wood Element cultivation method. The Moonchaser Bow could now unleash all five elements in perfect harmony.
