Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 126 Goodbye Lin Yuanxi

"I may have invented something incredible!"

Watching as the Falling Star Qi successfully entered his body, Yang Ning's face was filled with excitement.

If this cultivation technique were to spread, wouldn't it be equivalent to adding another realm to his Physical Body Realm, transforming his physical body from the Tenth Layer to the Eleventh Layer?

What does this mean?

It means that Yang Ning has directly perfected the cultivation system of the Extreme Eternal World, directly impacting the billions of cultivators who will come after him!

How lucky is that?

In reality, not all practitioners of the Pure Yang True Explanation are as smooth as Falling Star. Just like many other cultivation techniques, many people can only practice it to a mediocre level. Although Yang Ning has already written the cultivation method very clearly, there will still be people stuck at various inexplicable bottlenecks, unable to make any progress.

But as long as there is one successful case, it can prove that the technique created by Yang Ning is not the problem, but rather the issue lies with the individual's aptitude.

The standards of the Immortal Cultivation World are so different from those of the scientific community.

Moreover, even by scientific standards, Yang Ning's creation is still a success, because after Falling Star, there have been gradually more people successfully transcending tribulation, not just one or two.

By the 47th day of him spreading the technique, sixteen people have already successfully cultivated their Yang Spirits and entered the body with Qi.

This means that the technique created by Yang Ning has already been validated and can be replicated.

In response to many failed cases, Yang Ning made some modifications to the technique.

For example, Low Grade Spiritual Qi is still too dangerous, and many people die at this step. Yang Ning found several ingredients from a pill called "Soul-Settling Pill". After extracting the key materials, they can be made into incense sticks. When ignited, the smoke can stabilize the soul and have a certain resistance to demonic Spiritual Qi.

Yang Ning named it Soul-Settling Incense.

After alcohol extraction, these materials can be made into essential oils, which are dozens of times more effective than Soul-Settling Incense, ensuring the stability of the soul even in the Five Elements Spiritual Qi.

Yang Ning named the essential oil Soul-Condensing Liquid.

Yang Ning also had Deep Blue open a shop on the Deep Blue network to sell Soul-Settling Incense and Soul-Condensing Liquid, mainly targeting the cultivators in the Yingzhou Independent Cultivator Alliance who practice similar techniques to the Pure Yang True Explanation.

Dealing with cultivators who are at the Tenth Layer of the physical body and half-step Qi Refining, it is natural that silver coins cannot be used for transactions.

Coincidentally, Yang Ning discovered that there are people within the Extreme Eternal Sect who use Spirit Stones for transactions, but Deep Blue has not yet launched a digital currency related to Spirit Stones. Therefore, Yang Ning had Deep Blue naturally introduce Deep Blue Coins and formulated the exchange rules.

One Deep Blue Coin is equivalent to a Low Grade Spirit Stone with dimensions of 3*3*3 centimeters.

With the goods, Yang Ning found that there were too few customers!

These cultivators are all possessive, unwilling to pass on their good things, preferring to let their cultivation techniques rot in their storage bags.

But if you don't spread your cultivation techniques, how can I get lucky and make money?

He used various spells, illusions, and coincidences to guide others to discover their secrets, and then through various means of coercion and conflict, he forced them to give up their secrets.

These things are actually commonplace in the Yingzhou Independent Cultivator Alliance, and Yang Ning just guided them a little.

So, two months later, the entire Yingzhou knew about the emergence of a new system of cultivation techniques.

These techniques have different carriers, names, and contents, but the cultivation steps are similar. They all start with Astral Projection of the soul, then overcome the Three Calamities, and cultivate the Pure Yang True Soul.

With the Pure Yang True Soul, the risk of introducing Qi into the body will decrease significantly.

If the probability of a Divine Sea realm cultivator successfully introducing Qi into the body was one in a hundred thousand before, with the Pure Yang True Soul, the success rate for cultivators introducing Qi into the body increases to fifty percent!

And the proportion of Divine Sea realm cultivators who can cultivate the Pure Yang True Soul is approximately one percent!

One percent multiplied by fifty percent. This is equivalent to increasing the probability of a Divine Sea realm cultivator breaking through the Qi Refining Stage from one in a hundred thousand to five in a thousand!

What does this mean?

Taking the Extreme Eternal Sect as an example, previously, the sect could produce five Qi Refining Stage cultivators each year.

If the Pure Sun Realm were to be popularized in the Extreme Eternal Sect, the number of cultivators breaking through to the Qi Refining Stage each year would increase to 2500!

Upon learning of the existence of this technique, all the sects in Yingzhou took action. Those with the technique immediately popularized it, and even those without the technique, despite launching attacks, also wanted to obtain this technique.

There is nothing else to it. This technique, for an individual, only increases the probability of a breakthrough. However, for a sect, its influence is immense!

The secret incident of the Purple Heart Stone in Jiangyun Continent is still ongoing, and major sects from around the world have deployed nearly two million outer disciples to participate.

At the same time, a technique that is suspected to greatly increase the probability of breaking through the Qi Refining Stage has appeared in Yingzhou, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

As soon as the news broke, the Cloud Mist Information Matrix detected a large number of inner disciples leaving the sect on flying boats and heading southeast at full speed.

In less than half a day, they crossed a distance of 14,000 kilometers and arrived above the Scattered Immortal Alliance in Yingzhou.

The next day, Yang Ning's phone lit up, and it was a message from Lin Yuanxi.

"Brother Ning, are you there?"

"I'm here!" Although Yang Ning had a phone, it was just for show. In reality, his phone messages were managed by Deep Blue.

When a message came, he naturally replied immediately.

"Did I disturb your seclusion?" Yuan Xi asked cautiously. "I heard from Sister Yun that you just obtained the inheritance of the outer sect!"

That was something that happened four and a half months ago. I've already mastered it!" Yang Ning replied, "So I'm not that busy!"

"Ah?" Yuan Xi suddenly felt a pain in her heart. "Then why didn't Brother Ning come to find me? Did I do something wrong?"

"Oh, this..." Yang Ning was speechless and quickly said, "No, why would you think that?"

"But you have time, yet you don't come to chat with me. Is it because I did something to make you angry?"

"No, no, how could that be!" Yang Ning hurriedly said, "I don't even know what the cultivation of Qi Refining cultivators is like, so I'm afraid of disturbing you."

Actually, it's mainly because I haven't been a bootlicker for many years, so I've developed a habit of not actively chatting with girls.

If you look for me, I'll reply. If you don't look for me, I won't bother with you.

It's not easy to change a habit that has been cultivated for decades.

"Hehe!" Seeing that Yang Ning didn't get angry, Yuan Xi felt much more relaxed and quickly typed, "My cultivation doesn't matter. I have a lot of free time every day. I always want to find you and chat with you, but I'm worried that I'll disturb your cultivation and affect you."

Yang Ning hadn't spoken yet, but a long string of text appeared on the other side.

"I heard that you participated in the outer sect test, and it scared me. I was afraid that something unexpected would happen to you in the Taiyi Array. I went to find the Sect Master, but he said he had no right to interfere with the situation inside the Taiyi Array. I also heard that there is a person called Mysterious Heaven Sect inside, who is extremely murderous. I have already prepared things to go to Jiangyun Continent to find you. Fortunately, you returned safely!"

Yang Ning smiled helplessly and said, "It's not that serious. You're underestimating me. Just a mere outer sect trial, what can they do to me?"

"Mhmm, of course I know your strength, but I'm just worried about what kind of conspiracy our opponents might have. You have a pure and noble character, known for your gentlemanly demeanor. It's easy to be at a disadvantage when facing those wicked and unscrupulous individuals!"

"Hehe, when encountering wicked and unscrupulous individuals, who knows who will be at a disadvantage!" Deep Blue chuckled.

Yang Ning rolled his eyes, "Where did you get that from? Am I not of pure character? Do I not possess a gentlemanly demeanor?"

Deep Blue quickly shook his head, "No, no, of course you do. There is no one in the world with a purer character than you!"

Yang Ning nodded in satisfaction. This statement was not an exaggeration at all. After all, he transmigrated from Huaxia, where people were known for their pure character. Compared to those cultivators who killed without blinking an eye and treated commoners as less than human, he was not just pure, he was practically a saint!

"I came back immediately when I heard about the formidable Mysterious Heaven Sect. But it seems like there's no benefit in participating in the trial. It feels like I wasted my time!" Yang Ning said to Yuan Xi.

"Wasted? That can't be true!" Yuan Xi immediately shook her head. "The results of every disciple who participates in the outer sect trial will be recorded. You might not know it now, but someday it will be useful!"

"Is that so?" Yang Ning was taken aback. Could this be similar to being a top student and receiving awards that are not useful in everyday life but can give you an advantage in exams or job applications?

"Yes!" Lin Yuanxi smiled. "I heard that you participated in the outer sect trial, so I specifically asked the sect leader about it!"

Yang Ning curiously asked, "Are you close with the sect leader?"

"Not really, I've only met him twice!" Yuan Xi said. "Once when I joined the Extreme Eternal Sect, and once a few months ago when I went to find him for you!"

"But how can you casually meet him if you're not close?" Yang Ning asked.

"I am a disciple of the Extreme Eternal Sect. If I want to meet him, I can directly request an audience. And by the way, Heng Ming is the senior of the Tower of Eternity. He also has an official account on his phone, and you can add him as a friend!" Yuan Xi said.

"Uh..." Yang Ning was speechless. He searched on his phone and found it to be true.

Whether it was Deep Belief, Deep Blue Short Video, Long Video, or Deep Blue Knows, there was someone named Heng Ming with a profile picture of a handsome young man with a radiant light shining from behind his head.

Yang Ning recognized this young man. He was the senior of the Tower of Eternity that he met last time when he accompanied Li Yuan to meet the sect leader!

Speaking of which, why are the sect leader and an Immortal Weapon so approachable? You can meet them whenever you want?

But then again, the sect leader's role is to manage the sect, so it makes sense for him to be easily accessible.

Otherwise, if there's an urgent matter but you can't find him, wouldn't that be frustrating?

But as for why the Immortal Weapon Tower of Eternity is also so approachable, that's unknown!

"By the way, you've endured it for so long, why couldn't you resist today and came to chat with me?" Yang Ning asked.

After all, they were cultivators, so there shouldn't be anything they couldn't endure. There must be a reason for her to seek him out.

"I have something to give you!" Yuan Xi immediately said. "Just wait a moment!"

Yang Ning was taken aback and was about to say something when Deep Blue suddenly said, "She's at the door!"

Huh!

Yang Ning only just realized that she had been rushing towards his place since the start of their conversation.

He quickly left his seclusion room and hurried to the front yard, opening the gate.

A young girl in a red dress appeared like a phantom and threw herself into Yang Ning's arms.

In an instant, a fragrant scent filled the air, and he was embraced by warmth and tenderness.

"Ah, this..." Yang Ning hurriedly tried to push her away, but the sound of sobbing came from her embrace.

"No, don't cry. We've already met, haven't we?" Yang Ning quickly closed the door. If someone saw this, and if it got back to my fourth uncle, I would be in trouble!

Besides, it seems like our relationship hasn't reached this stage yet. Last time, we were still treating each other with respect.

"Mhmm!" The girl sobbed and finally managed to stop her tears. "I didn't want to cry, but I couldn't help it! I almost lost you!"

Yang Ning gently stroked the girl's soft hair and smiled, asking, "Did you imagine some strange things on your own?"

Yuan Xi smiled awkwardly. It was true.

She had heard that Yang Ning participated in the outer sect trial, and all sorts of ways for Yang Ning to die filled her mind.

Even though she knew that Yang Ning was not an ordinary person, he could create tanks with his physical strength at the Third Layer and stroll through the trials at the Fourth and Fifth Layers with ease.

But could the trials at the Fifth Layer be the same as the trials at the Ninth Layer?

Yang Ning patted Yuan Xi's shoulder and said, "Look, I'm fine. I have great strength. When I went, I brought a Purple Heartstone, and when I came back, I had 82 of them!"

"It's all my fault. I should have reminded you!" Yuan Xi whispered. "And even if you have great strength, it's not enough. What if you encounter danger? You have me. We don't need to take such risks. We can still advance to the Qi Refining Stage and gain the sect's attention!"

"You say you understand me, that you've been paying attention to me since we were young. So tell me, am I someone who likes to rely on others?" Yang Ning asked with a smile.

Yuan Xi fell silent immediately. It seemed like he wasn't.

Yang Ning had left his parents at the age of two and stayed with the county magistrate's family. Although he received help from many people along the way, he relied more on his own talent and abilities to forge his own path.

"Or is it that you like someone who depends on others, someone lazy and unwilling to strive like me?"

Yuan Xi remained silent for a long time, not knowing how to respond. She simply reached out and twisted Yang Ning's chest hard. "Stop asking!"

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore!" Yang Ning quickly raised his hands. "By the way, don't just stand in the courtyard. Come inside and talk!"

"Mhmm!" Yuan Xi nodded lightly.

Before long, the two of them were sitting in the living room.

Yuan Xi took out three objects from her pocket and placed them in front of Yang Ning.

One was a Third Grade Lotus Platform with twenty-eight petals, pink on the bottom and white on top.

The second was a book woven with golden threads, made of extraordinary materials.

The third was a jade bottle containing clear golden liquid.

Except for the Lotus Platform, Yang Ning recognized the other two items.

"This Lotus Platform is called Red Poem. It's a Peerless Grade Spirit Weapon!" Yuan Xi pushed the Lotus Platform towards Yang Ning and pointed to the golden thread book. "This is a cultivation technique. It's called 'Pure Yang True Soul Scripture.' It's a recently discovered inheritance in the Yingzhou realm. It can cultivate the 'Pure Yang True Soul' and greatly increase the success rate of absorbing spiritual energy into the body!"

"And this is called Soul Condensing Liquid, which can be used for cultivation in the 'Pure Yang True Soul Scripture'!"

Yang Ning was dumbfounded. What means did they use for the Yingzhou people's treasured cultivation technique to end up in Extreme Eternal's hands like this?

It should be that the people from Yingzhou willingly offered it.

"You can rest assured about the effectiveness of this cultivation technique. Dozens of people in Yingzhou have already successfully cultivated it, and the effects of the technique have been verified by Senior Heng Ming and the sect elders. However, the sect doesn't plan to directly open it to disciples. It can only be exchanged with Deep Blue Coins!"

"By the way, you might not know this, but Deep Blue Coins are a type of digital currency that appeared after the advent of smartphones. One Deep Blue Coin is roughly equivalent to one standard spirit stone!"
