Chapter 173 Unique Methods
Mo Yuming suddenly remembered that he had a low-level storage bag containing a bag of treasures. That storage bag was given to him by Shi Potian, and besides those mysterious white pills, it also contained about a hundred catties of the priceless holy treasure "Water Soul".
That was a treasure said to have the power to bring the dead back to life with just a single drop. Mo Yuming had kept this bag of treasures carefully hidden away, and had hardly used it in the year or so since he left the valley. He had only drunk a drop to restore his strength during the battle at Blood Wolf Slope while rescuing Pu Yazhu.
Mo Yuming dared not touch the mysterious white pill in the bag yet, because as his cultivation level increased, he could feel the immense energy it contained.
Mo Yuming estimated that he wouldn't be able to use that thing at the Earth Rank stage.
However, there is no need to worry about the sacred treasure "Water Soul". Although it contains a great deal of energy, it is very gentle and will not cause harm to the body even if consumed in excess.
Li Mubai once said that the Sacred Treasure Water Essence only requires one drop each time, whether for cultivation or healing.
Mo Yuming carefully took a drop from a ceramic jar in his storage bag and placed it in his palm.
Looking at the crystal-clear drop of water in my palm, just as I was about to carefully sense the energy it contained, I discovered that the drop of water in my palm had shrunk by a size.
Just as he was feeling confused, the water spirit in his hand had vanished without a trace.
Immediately, Mo Yuming felt the meridians in his palm filled with immense, ultimate water elemental spiritual power.
Only then did Mo Yuming recall the scene when he drank the Water Spirit as if it were water in the Fire Cloud Cave. At that time, every time he tried to drink water with both hands, the water would pass through his hands and quickly seep into his body before it even reached his lips.
There wasn't even a hint of moisture on my palms or the backs of my hands. My cultivation level was very low at that time, and my perception and absorption of water elements were very weak, so my impression of the Water Spirit wasn't very deep back then.
Mo Yuming quickly circulated his internal energy to cultivate his inner power, guiding the extreme water elemental spiritual energy in his palm into the meridians of his body for refinement.
After more than an hour of refining, the water elemental spiritual power in his body was significantly enhanced, and he vaguely felt that he was about to break through to the peak of the third level of the Earth Rank.
Mo Yuming knew that the nature of the Water Essence was the purest among all elemental treasures, and even if one inhaled a large amount, it would not have an adverse effect on the cultivator.
However, after each cultivation session reaches its limit, the remaining energy will gather in the meridians of the body. If it is not utilized, it will slowly dissipate and be wasted.
After an hour of cultivation, Mo Yuming's water-attribute profound skill cultivation reached saturation due to the enhancement of the water spirit. If he continued to cultivate, he would not be able to absorb any more of the elemental spiritual power stored in the water spirit.
Mo Yuming sensed that some water elemental energy remained in his meridians. If he did not refine it, this precious elemental energy would dissipate and be lost over time.
However, this training has reached its limit in improving the water-attribute profound skills, and if we want to continue, we must find another way.
Therefore, Mo Yuming thought of the principle of mutual generation of the five elements and tried to use the excess water spiritual power in his body to promote the cultivation of wood attribute profound skills.
Water, wood, and metal have always been Mo Yuming's weaknesses, and he hasn't improved them since leaving the valley.
Now, water-attribute profound skills have improved considerably with the help of the Water Soul, while wood and metal skills have seen little improvement due to the lack of suitable resources.
If he relies solely on refining and absorbing from the air, given Mo Yuming's current affinity for these two elemental entities, it's uncertain how long it will take him to achieve any significant progress in his cultivation.
Mo Yuming had once tried using the principle of the five elements' mutual generation to help Xinlan in the canyon, and the effect was quite good. However, that time it was to help her recover her physical strength, not to cultivate. This time, Mo Yuming wanted to try it again, wondering if it would produce the same effect.
Mo Yuming focused his gaze on his nose, then his mouth, and finally his heart, entering a state of cultivation once more.
His mind sensed the remaining extreme water element in his meridians, slowly guiding it to circulate within them according to the cultivation method of wood-attribute profound arts, while simultaneously using his mind to guide in wood-attribute spiritual energy.
At first, the effect was not obvious. Just like when practicing wood-attribute profound arts, the absorption of elemental spiritual energy was very slow.
Mo Yuming estimated that this level was inferior to that of cultivators with mediocre talent.
However, Mo Yuming did not give up. He believed that as long as he could absorb spiritual energy, it would prove that he could cultivate this kind of profound skill.
With Mo Yuming's persistent efforts, after an incense stick's time, he felt a slight increase in his ability to absorb wood-attribute spiritual energy.
As the cultivation method completed a full cycle, Mo Yuming could feel that the amount of attribute elements absorbed into his body during this cycle was much higher than that of the previous cycle.
The extreme water element mixed in the meridians will also be refined to some extent, which will play a certain role in assisting the cultivation of wood-attribute profound arts.
Mo Yuming felt that his attempt had yielded some results, so his confidence increased greatly, and he continued to diligently cultivate the wood attribute profound skill.
An hour passed, and Mo Yuming continued cultivating. He felt that his cultivation state this time was better than all his previous ones, and his absorption of wood-attribute spiritual energy was getting faster and faster.
It's almost at the same pace as when I was practicing fire-attribute profound arts.
Time passed slowly, and finally, after two hours, the water essence in his meridians was completely depleted, and the effect of cultivation was much worse.
Mo Yuming finished cultivating the wood-attribute profound skill.
At this moment, Mo Yuming clearly felt that his wood-attribute profound skill had been improved.
Although there was still a gap compared to the improvement of water-attribute profound arts, Mo Yuming was satisfied. It seemed that Mo Yuming's attempt to use the power of the water element to cultivate wood-attribute profound arts had achieved very good results.
Although the effect wasn't as good as cultivating a water-attribute profound technique, it was still quite good. Mo Yuming felt very satisfied.
Currently, only the metal-attribute profound skill has not yet shown any improvement. Mo Yuming also knows that such things cannot be forced and can only wait for the right opportunity.
It was already late at night, and there was still some time before dawn.
Mo Yuming is in excellent condition. Since he started practicing the Wu Clan's cultivation method, he basically no longer needs to sleep.
Whenever I feel tired, as long as I practice the Wu Clan's mental cultivation method for a while, my drowsiness will disappear and I will feel full of energy.
With nothing else to do, Mo Yuming took out something from a storage bag—the tattered book he had bought from the Soul-Character Mystic Artifact Shop.
This old book, which doesn't even have a cover, has only ten pages, each depicting a simple human figure.
Each figure is in a different pose, which is very strange. It doesn't look like they are practicing kung fu or performing martial arts moves. Moreover, there is no continuity between the images.
What's even more frustrating is that each page of the book contains only images, without a single word.
However, Mo Yuming did not buy this tattered book on a whim; he did not buy it casually with the intention of finding a bargain.
Instead, he discovered that this seemingly tattered book was not what it appeared to be. Mo Yuming examined it closely and found that the ten pages were actually made from the finest hide of the Fire Earth Pig.
Because of the unique technique, the defects are almost impossible to detect after processing unless you look closely.
Each page was cut from carefully stretched hog skin.
Because the fire porpoise is extremely rare and precious, its hide is known for its toughness and durability. Even when stretched very thin, it remains very strong, and it will not rot for hundreds of years even if buried in the ground without treatment.
Because Mo Yuming had refined a lot of Fire-Earth Pig skins in the valley to make hot air balloons, he was very familiar with Fire-Earth Pig skins.
When he saw that the tattered book was made of the skin of a fire porpoise, he realized that the book was not actually old, but had been artificially aged to make it look like a worn-out book.
