My Daily Cultivation Life with a Clumsy Female Disciple

Chapter 417

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the center of Divine Essence Mountain, within a dark and damp cave, a dazzling red and blue water sphere floated in mid-air.

The sphere was massive, about the size of several chickens or basketballs combined, too large for a grown man to wrap his arms around. It hovered three feet above the ground, expanding and contracting rhythmically like breathing.

The cave was empty except for the sphere, cold and silent.

At one moment, it began to transform silently. Stretching and elongating, it grew limbs, a head, and a fifth appendage, gradually taking human form.

Then, its face began to shift and change, features appearing one by one, eventually forming a handsome yet refined face. The rest of the body seemed to be sculpted, automatically developing the characteristics of each body part.

Soon, a naked adult male with an extremely muscular build appeared in the dark, damp cave.

He had a refined face but stood over two meters tall, with extremely thick arms and legs, his muscles bulging prominently. He had the kind of physique that could stop a horse with a flexed arm and kill a bull with one punch.

He kept his eyes closed, slowly standing up, continuing to control the internal changes in his body.

After some time, he opened his eyes, having finally reconstructed his physical form and come back to life.

"After all these twists and turns..." Qin Ran clenched his fist, looking down at his build that was even more exaggerated than Li Shiwen's, feeling the terrifying power of the Divine Essence Condensation within his body, and excitedly said, "I finally obtained the Divine Essence Condensation."

"What level of cultivation am I at now?" A violent impulse surged within him as he turned and punched the cave wall, directly smashing a deep pit into the sealed wall, making the entire Divine Essence Mountain tremble with his single punch.

"Hahahahaha..." He threw his head back and laughed wildly, feeling that no one in the world could match him. "With just this Divine Essence Condensation, even Divine Transformation Stage cultivators couldn't withstand a single punch from me?!"

He clenched his fist and struck the cave wall behind him again, causing Divine Essence Mountain to shake once more.

But after throwing this punch, he suddenly realized something was wrong...

"This is bad, my power increased too quickly, my mental state can't keep up, I can't maintain stability." He hurriedly took a deep breath, trying to calm his agitated heart. "Indeed, when holding a powerful weapon, the urge to kill naturally arises. After mastering the Divine Essence Condensation, I've become too arrogant, too bloodthirsty, losing my true self."

He forcefully contracted his power, reshaping his body, reducing his exaggerated arm and leg muscles, returning to his original thin appearance...

"So this is why the original form always looks like a frail scholar. This appearance serves two purposes: first, it makes others underestimate you based on your appearance, and second, it serves as a reminder when you see yourself, not to become inflated with power. Don't become a slave to power!"

"Next, I need to cultivate my mind, and it will take a very, very long time. I can't allow any more increase in power."

He took deep breaths, repeatedly, closing and opening his eyes, the arrogance in them replaced by his usual calmness.

Although his heart still surged with excitement from the power, difficult to calm, his exterior had finally settled down.

After stabilizing his mental state, Qin Ran turned his attention to the storage ring left by the Divine Essence Old Demon.

"Given the Divine Essence Old Demon's style, this storage ring probably contains the reward he left for me."

Thinking this, he reached for the storage ring.

Then...

Just as his hand touched the ring, it silently turned to ash, scattering on the ground.

He was stunned, then realized what had happened.

After tens of thousands of years, even a cultivator as powerful as the Divine Essence Old Demon had turned to bones, and those bones had turned to ash, so what was a small storage ring worth?

What could withstand the passage of time?

However...

"Ah!"

That was, after all, the reward left by the Divine Essence Old Demon, and it must have been incredibly valuable.

Superior spirit herbs? Premium pills? High-grade magical tools? Powerful techniques?

It must have had all of these.

Because he couldn't obtain them, the contents of the ring began to grow limitlessly in Qin Ran's imagination.

"There might have been immortal artifacts... immortal techniques..."

The biggest fish a fisherman encounters is always the one that got away.

Qin Ran's recently stabilized heart began to stir again. He felt regret and anger, his muscles beginning to bulge once more. He clenched his fists, his eyes gradually turning red...

Just as he was losing control, suddenly, something flickered before his eyes and materialized from where the storage ring had turned to ash, then fell toward the ground.

Qin Ran's body moved faster than his consciousness; before his mind could react, his hand had already caught the object that appeared out of nowhere.

After raising his hand, his consciousness caught up, and he turned his gaze to look at his palm.

In his hand were two jade-like objects, similar to jade slips, but even in his agitated state, he knew they weren't ordinary bamboo slips.

Because, if he wasn't mistaken, these two slips had fallen from the destroyed storage ring.

Storage rings were created by engraving spatial array formations onto special materials, involving space itself.

Therefore, once a ring was destroyed, the items inside would be crushed to dust by the terrifying spatial forces and disappear.

Very few things could withstand spatial compression and erosion. If a storage ring was destroyed, its contents were presumed lost.

Yet these two jade slips had survived the spatial destruction and fallen out. This proved their special nature.

Qin Ran held the two jade slips, examining them but finding no visible inscriptions, then randomly placed one against his forehead.

He closed his eyes and extended his divine sense into it.

Sure enough, in his divine sense's view, he entered the jade slip and saw numerous glowing characters.

"Divine Brilliance Demonic Scripture?"

Obviously, this jade slip contained the cultivation technique of the Divine Essence Old Demon, and judging by the name, it was a technique he had created himself.

Qin Ran briefly scanned through it; the technique covered everything from Qi Cultivation First Level to Seventh Level, from basic techniques to various magical arts and divine abilities. It was clearly a comprehensive Qi cultivation method.

But since he was ultimately just an avatar, without the ability to cultivate Qi, he wasn't very interested and put it aside after just a glance.

He then placed the other jade slip against his forehead.

"Water Method Spirit Plant Technique?"

Qin Ran frowned, wondering what this was.

But as he read on, his expression became increasingly serious, while his eyes couldn't hide their growing excitement and began to shine.

What was the Water Method Spirit Plant Technique?

As the name suggested, it was a method for cultivating spirit herbs using pill water.

As someone with farming ingrained in his soul, Qin Ran's basic understanding was that grain grows from soil, and spirit herbs grow from Spirit Soil.

His main body in the Lingnan Region had spent years trying unsuccessfully to obtain even a handful of Spirit Soil. The only Spirit Soil he currently possessed came from Li Shiyin's previous mission, when she cleared out a branch of the "Yuan" organization.

To cultivate spirit herbs, he had innovatively developed some kind of spirit water, but it hadn't produced any results. Spirit Soil...

In fact, the key reason for Dan Peak's decline was its lack of Spirit Soil, making it impossible to cultivate spirit herbs independently, forcing them to purchase them instead. Meanwhile, Zhican Valley was filled with Spirit Soil.

Spirit Soil.

If Qin Ran didn't have Spirit Soil to cultivate spirit herbs, and Dan Peak didn't have Spirit Soil to cultivate spirit herbs, did the Sea Region have Spirit Soil to cultivate spirit herbs?

Obviously, in a region dominated by seas, there wasn't enough Spirit Soil to cultivate sufficient spirit herbs.

They had no Spirit Soil, but their demand for pills was even greater than in the Lingnan Region. What could they do?

They could only find another way, using other methods to cultivate spirit herbs.

This Water Method Spirit Plant Technique documented how to use cultivators' pill water instead of Spirit Soil to cultivate spirit herbs.

In other words, this was a spirit planting technique that, while useless to this avatar, had unlimited potential for his main body.

One could even say that the avatar's journey to the Sea Region to build one of three refuges was less valuable than finding this Water Method Spirit Plant Technique.

With this spirit planting technique, Dan Peak's rise was within reach, and there was no need for other complicated schemes; even the fate of Zhican Valley didn't matter anymore.

Qin Ran stood there, carefully memorizing the Water Method Spirit Plant Technique word by word, ensuring that when his main body received his memories, the technique would be transmitted without any errors.

"Whew!"

Given the gravity of the situation, he ignored the violence in his heart while memorizing the Water Method Spirit Plant Technique.

"I hope things go smoothly on your end. There's not much I can do."

He let out a gentle breath, steadied his mind, summoned the Water Flower Pearl, and tossed both jade slips into the space created by it.

By now, Qin Ran had obtained everything he should and shouldn't have. It was time for him to leave this place.

He took one last look around the dark, damp cave, then bowed once more toward Divine Essence Old Demon's tomb, before finally employing his movement technique and charging straight into the rock wall behind him.

A flash of red and blue light emanated from his body, and he vanished into the mountain. The seal that Divine Essence Old Demon had placed on Divine Essence Mountain did not stop him.

The Divine Essence Condensation was Divine Essence Old Demon's life essence, and the seal itself was based on this Divine Essence Condensation - how could it possibly obstruct him, who was transformed by the Divine Essence Condensation?

In no time, Qin Ran passed through the mountain from the cave and emerged on the surface of Divine Essence Mountain.

The bright light dazzled his eyes.

Without a doubt, it was a gloriously sunny day!

The sky was vast and the sun brilliant.

Qin Ran appeared on the high cliff at the edge of Divine Essence Mountain.

The sea breeze blew up from the mountain's base, bringing fresh, moist air.

The humid sea breeze struck his face, making him feel completely refreshed.

The warm sunlight pouring down from above brightened his mood further.

Now he could truly say he was completely reborn.

He was an entirely different person from when he first came to Divine Essence Mountain. He had reconstructed his physical body using the Divine Essence Condensation, achieved alchemy skills beyond the fifth rank, his spiritual essence was at the peak of the third rank, and he possessed extremely advanced formation techniques. Perhaps, he felt, he was even stronger than his original self.

Now he could truly say to this sea domain: The sky is high and the sea is vast - I am free to roam as I please.

Next, he could easily complete the tasks his original self had entrusted to him, and afterward, a completely new life different from his original self would unfold before him.

One could imagine that his future would surely be an extraordinarily brilliant story, perhaps no less spectacular than that of Divine Essence Old Demon.
