Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Harvest

The skill Wang Sheng improved the fastest was Medicinal Plant Cultivation.

Mainly because he spent a lot of time on this skill, especially as the consumption of Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills increased. He deliberately extended the time he spent on planting medicinal herbs, which made his progress even faster.

However, as his skill improved and he could plant faster, the number of Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills was always enough for his use.

But each time he used a large number of them.

As his strength increased, especially after reaching Refining Essence to Qi and obtaining strength comparable to a Grandmaster,

the effect of the Spiritual Medicine planted with “Breakthrough +4” Medicinal Plant Cultivation was no longer as significant for him, and he needed to consume a large amount of Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills each time, grabbing them by the handful.

...
Afterward, it was not impossible for the medicinal effect to be so subtle that he could not feel it, which actually meant no effect.

However, he wasn’t particularly worried, as his “Medicinal Plant Cultivation” was about to Breakthrough again and would soon reach “Breakthrough +5.”

While it might not transform substantially again, according to the experience from “Breakthrough +3” to “Breakthrough +4,” the medicinal properties of the plants would definitely improve, it was just uncertain by how much.

“Hopefully it will meet the requirements, and other skills, give it some effort too!”

It wasn’t just “Medicinal Plant Cultivation”; a few other skills were also on the verge of breaking through.

“State—

Refining Essence and Qi. Producing Medicine: 48% Blood Qi Smoke: 15%

Cultivation Technique—

Inner Core Skill (Refining Essence to Qi): Breakthrough +3 (50%) Ba Duan Jin: Breakthrough +3 (65%) Five Elements Fist: Breakthrough +1 (40%) Yijin Scripture: Breakthrough +1 (63%)

Lifestyle—

Medicinal Plant Cultivation: Breakthrough +4 (99%) Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill Production: Breakthrough +2 (97%) Beast Taming: 9 (98%) rice planting: Breakthrough +1 (15%) Forging: 3 (10%) Mechanical Techniques: 5 (65%)

Martial Arts—

Ba Ji Quan: Breakthrough +1 (45%)…”

The newly added skills were Mechanical Techniques and the complementary Forging, which were, of course, not at high levels yet.

Then, apart from “Medicinal Plant Cultivation,” the skills about to Breakthrough were “Beast Taming” and “Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill Production.”

Beast Taming was because of the sheer amount of time spent on it, plus the occasional burst in growth like a gust of wind, so even just casually stroking Elder Bai during rest time, it was nearing a Breakthrough—only the post-Breakthrough effects of “Beast Taming” remained unknown.

As for “Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill Production,” the progress was even simpler: he would make pills every now and then, and each time he made a whole lot of them. Progress was swift, going directly from “Breakthrough +1” to almost achieving another qualitative change in a few months’ time.

A qualitative change at “Breakthrough +3” was, frankly, what Wang Sheng was most looking forward to.

But looking at these skills, he felt a bit of a headache.

“There are more and more skills now!”

The number of skills he had was so many that he couldn’t see them all at a glance.

Inner Core Skill and Ba Duan Jin were still the main ones he practiced. Although progress was slow, the improvement was also significant.

But he couldn’t neglect the other skills, like Ba Ji Quan.

Without practicing Ba Ji Quan, he definitely couldn’t have defeated the Evil Flood Dragon so easily.

Relying solely on Qi Blood Power, it was uncertain how long the fight would have taken, or even whether he would have won in the end.

So, the final conclusion was only one.

“So, I still have to grind!”

The only way to relieve worries is to become stronger; the only way to become stronger is to grind to the extreme!

…

Time quickly passed, and two days went by.

These two days, Elder Bai found Wang Sheng strangely odd, coming over to stroke him for no reason, until today when he finally returned to his usual self.

Elder Bai couldn’t understand why Wang Sheng had stayed away, of course, because he had made a skill Breakthrough.

“Beast Taming: Breakthrough +1”

The “Beast Taming” skill successfully passed its first limit, but Wang Sheng still didn’t know what abilities it would give.

“Elder Bai, come here a minute!”

“Roar~”

What’s up, you’re not coming over to pet me again, are you?
