Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 386 - 365: Level 18 Spirit Essence

Three thousand miles away, Wang Wu sat atop a nameless cliff, gazing at the drop of True Dragon Ancient Blood in his hand.

Goodness, the problem that seemed troublesome before was resolved just like that. She Shoujiu’s generosity was as usual, and he owed it a favor too.

With a smile, Wang Wu placed the True Dragon Ancient Blood sealed in Profound Ice against his chest. The Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi started circulating on its own, silently and slowly melting and absorbing the outer layer of Profound Ice.

This Profound Ice wasn’t ordinary cold ice. Despite Wang Wu’s current intensity of Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi, it still required over ten minutes to completely melt it, yielding a staggering three million points of Ice Spiritual Qi.

It’s truly a good thing.

However, this item was solely used to seal the True Dragon Ancient Blood, meaning the latter was an even better thing.

’Bang bang bang!’

Wang Wu’s Heart of the Earth began to beat wildly. The True Dragon Ancient Blood wasn’t meant to be consumed; the best way was to merge it with the Heart of the Earth.

And the most suitable state of fusion was the Heart of the Earth’s original state, rather than being refined into a Demon Pill.

These were all things Wang Wu perceived the moment he came into contact with the True Dragon Ancient Blood.

His bloodline was cheering, indescribable, completely unobstructed, completely unresisted; in an instant, the drop of True Dragon Ancient Blood was absorbed by the Heart of the Earth, everything as smooth as rain nurturing spring, naturally falling into place!

The next moment, deep within his bloodline and body, it was as if dragon roars echoed, continuously cycling, continuously sublimating, finally transforming into a thunderous explosion!

Wang Wu’s eyes snapped open, his Qi Blood surged around him like a curtain shrouding the sky, vaguely displaying a roaring giant bear and a spiraling giant snake.

But in the blink of an eye, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

The weight lifted so effortlessly, nothing more than this.

It took less than three seconds altogether.

No wonder, Wang Wu’s foundation was incredibly strong and profound, even though this True Dragon Ancient Blood was extraordinarily precious, it couldn’t stir up much of a wave with him.

In fact, as soon as a slight ripple formed, it was already smoothed out.

Five Ruyi Demon Pills matched with the Five Elements Spirit Array were an indescribable existence, capable of cycling Qi and Blood 6400 times per second!

What kind of concept is this?

No need to compare with any Bear Demon Emperor, just this drop of True Dragon Ancient Blood, the maximum peak of Qi Blood surge it could provoke was merely five thousand times per second.

It truly couldn’t provide much supplement to Wang Wu, not worthy of being considered a major boost.

It could only fill the congenital deficiency in Wang Wu’s bloodline.

That’s all.

"You absorbed and fused a drop of True Dragon Ancient Blood, the core deficiency in your Innate Bloodline has been remedied, your Bloodline Evolution Level increased by 3%, now at 65.5% (occupying 60%), your growth limit has been raised once again."

"Friendly reminder, due to the special nature of this drop of True Dragon Ancient Blood, it has created three free attribute points (similar concept) tailored for you, which can be used on your six Bloodline Divine Techniques. Note, this is a one-time opportunity, compensating for your congenital development deficiency."

——

These three free attribute points were truly precious, equivalent to sixty million points of Spiritual Qi.

But how should they be allocated?

Wang Wu thought for a long time, eventually bypassing the Passive Concealment and Danger Perception, which he always considered his aces and must-upgrade Bloodline Talents in the past.

Instead, he allocated all three free attribute points to the Spiritual Talent.

This was once deemed a useless talent by him; it didn’t exclusively belong to Snake Emperor’s bloodline or Bear Race’s bloodline, more like an optimal choice of various bloodlines, though its upper limit wasn’t high.

The Bear Demon Emperor once only raised Spiritual Talent to Level 12, the next 3 levels were all breakthroughs Wang Wu achieved himself by continually exceeding the Bloodline Evolution Level limit.

In other words, even his uncle Yue Mountain wouldn’t have reached Level 15 without some extraordinary opportunity.

Who would know how delightful Level 15 Spiritual Essence is?

Not to mention Level 18 Spiritual Essence.

At the instant of completing the upgrade, Wang Wu closed his eyes comfortably, held his breath, even halted Danger Perception, all because he needed to experience Level 18 Spiritual Essence in the purest state.

It was as if he had a brand new way to sense the external world.

The outside world to him was no longer wind and rain, snow and clouds, mountains and rivers, forests, and lands, but all transformed into the primitive structure of Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

So amazing!

A bird flew past, but under the perception of Level 18 Spiritual Essence, it wasn’t a bird, but an organism formed by the combination and alteration of dozens of Spiritual Qi types.

In this organism, Wang Wu could directly judge and analyze its strengths and weaknesses, initially seeing through the core essence of its life.

Every flower, every tree, every patch of grass, all insects, all creatures, seemed like treasuries, opened to him.

At this moment, Wang Wu seemed to smell the wondrous fragrance of flowers, hear melodious bird songs, and feel the gentler breeze. He couldn’t help but start breathing deeply.

But after just one breath, he suddenly awoke, because he wasn’t truly breathing with his mouth or nose, nor was it the internal breathing from activating Qi and Blood Circulation, but rather breathing with Level 18 Spiritual Essence.

Just one breath, and it was as if all the grass, woods, and creatures within hundreds of miles wilted instantly, as if recovering from a severe illness. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

But Wang Wu directly absorbed a total of a hundred thousand points of Spiritual Qi!

If he were to take another breath, everything alive within hundreds of miles would probably perish.

"Damn!"

Wang Wu was shocked, dumbfounded.

It felt unreliable, yet somehow still within reason, because the original function of Spirit Essence was to absorb Spiritual Qi.

Ten thousand in one go...

Ten thousand in one go...

No, control it, half a sip, a small sip, a quarter, no, a fifth!

Wang Wu dared not be greedy and immediately returned four-fifths of the Spiritual Qi he had just absorbed.

I’m a conscientious person, taking only what’s reasonable.

Resolutely not wiping out everything.

Hmm, mainly to avoid alarming the Immortals and getting banned, that would be unlucky.

Let’s just say that Level 18 Spirit Essence is incredibly powerful, and it doesn’t make much noise, perfectly solving the drawbacks of the early stage.

Next, Wang Wu started to scurry about all over the world, taking a small sip here and there, just not too much, never more than a fifth.

When he encountered Little Demons of ninth grade or higher, he’d be extra cautious and precisely avoid them.

That way, the plants and creatures wouldn’t feel anything, and the Little Demons wouldn’t think there’s a bug and go spreading rumors. Details, it’s all in the details.

Of course, Wang Wu also realized, this Level 18 Spirit Essence’s Qi absorbing capability seems only suitable in places like the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance, where Spiritual Qi is relatively abundant in the wilderness.

If he were to return to the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance, it wouldn’t work; as long as he dared to activate it, it would certainly trigger the Spirit Net alarm.

Unless he encounters a wealthy one, then he could quickly absorb all the Qi in one breath, like using the Star Absorption Technique.

Haha!

A little mischievously cute.

Throughout the day, Wang Wu smoothly gathered ten million points of Spiritual Qi.

Including the previously scavenged ones, his total wealth successfully reached fifteen million points.

Finally feeling a bit affluent.

But these Spiritual Qi still need further processing and conversion.

For example, the conversion of Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi is the simplest, directly converting using the Heart of the Earth, with about 1% loss, an average conversion speed of 100,000 points per second, which is quite powerful.

Then there’s Cyan Wood Spiritual Qi, which is a bit more complicated. It can also be converted with the Heart of the Earth, but due to incomplete supporting aspects, there’s a 10% loss, so only 1,000 points of Cyan Wood Spiritual Qi can be converted per second, hence it’s better to use Fifth-Grade Ruyi Cyan Wood Spirit Pill for cultivation, with a 0.15% loss, fast and effective, though it requires meditation and can’t be converted during combat.

Each has its pros and cons.

However, for Wang Wu, Cyan Wood Spirit Pills are primarily for support, used to boost longevity and basic attributes, not for deliberate use on the battlefield.

Lastly, the conversion of Vital Qi Blood is the main focus.

Wang Wu specifically allocated 12 million Qi points for this.

There are many ways to convert it.

The first way is to compress the Spiritual Qi into Spirit Liquid, either ten to one or one hundred to one.

This is quite applicable, with 2%~5% loss, and the key is it can be taken and converted directly during combat.

Quite powerful, a top choice for the wealthy who don’t mind spending.

Wang Wu used to do this, the most common way in the Great Wilderness Sin Prison.

But now outside, Wang Wu couldn’t bear such huge losses, so he took the management conversion route.

In other words, using Spiritual Qi to cultivate Spirit Plants, reach a certain level, and then refine them into Ginseng Vitality Pills.

This is a quite stable and profitable Spiritual Qi→Vitality→Qi Blood conversion pathway.

After a certain amount of time, not only will there be no loss, but about 15% profit will be generated during the process.

And this is just one kind of Spirit Pill, the Ginseng Vitality Pill. If switching to higher-grade Spirit Plants to refine higher-quality Spirit Pills, the profit can exceed one hundred percent, possibly reaching two to three hundred percent.

So it’s no wonder cultivators love alchemy, Wang Wu loves alchemy too.

Unfortunately, he now doesn’t have enough time to develop this Spirit Pill industry chain.

He now has to prepare for the big battle in two days.

Well, actually, there’s not much to prepare, just 15 million Qi points, what can he prepare?

Is it to upgrade the Ape King Skull or the Fire Poison Remains?

Is it to refine those fur or create Divine Talismans?

No need, absolutely no need.

Wang Wu sighed leisurely, glancing at his teammates, who were still digging dirt, finding Spirit Plants, relocating Spirit Fruits, catching Little Demons, harvesting plentifully.

So he continued collecting taxes all over the mountains, one small sip at a time.

Two days passed just like that, he smoothly accumulated his Qi wealth to 30 million points.

It was at this moment,

Wang Wu suddenly felt a subtle change in his heart, and in the next moment, several lines of information appeared with some difficulty; it was the Four Clowns who finally reached a consensus on the Level 18 Spirit Essence and provided a corresponding evaluation.

"Your Spiritual Talent has been raised to Level 18, this level has already surpassed our understanding range, something unprecedented. Therefore, if our evaluation contains slight misunderstandings or flaws, please correct us!"

"Evaluation: This level of Spirit Essence seems to have already glimpsed the essence of Spiritual Qi, reaching a remarkable level in the deconstruction of Spiritual Qi. But currently, detailed data is still needed."

"Evaluation: Although we cannot accurately determine, Level 18 Spirit Essence has obviously surpassed the First Grade, thus, it can temporarily be classified as Super First Grade. To date, you have accumulated three conditions, and after meeting ten conditions, your power will be Super First Grade!"
