Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 110 - 105: Refining Essence to Qi, Sealing Furnace (Request for Recommendation Tickets, Monthly Tickets!)

After the Black Dragon Spear was crafted, Wang Sheng naturally couldn’t resist trying it out.

It had to be said, the Six Harmonies Spear, a weapon imbued with skills, truly displayed its powerful potential only when wielded.

Even a simple thrust could unleash formidable force, seeming to pierce through space with an overwhelming presence, and a flick could easily stir the ground, altering the terrain.

He then realized the destructive power was somewhat intense, so he briefly tested it before discontinuing, and thereafter he only practiced daily by restraining his power.

Time sped by during his practices, and nearly a month had passed.

At dawn, Wang Sheng opened his eyes.

”Refining Essence and Qi. Producing Medicine: 99.5%”

During this time, he shifted his focus to the cultivation of his realm, and now, he had finally reached the end of the ”Producing Medicine” phase.

An important stage was next.

”Harvesting and Sealing!”

This actually encompassed two concepts, harvesting the medicine and sealing the furnace.

They were combined because the harvesting phase lasted only a very short period and was closely linked to sealing the furnace.

After the ”Producing Medicine” phase was complete, ”Minor Medicine” would form.

But as ”Minor Medicine” formed, it was like a crossbow arrow poised to launch, desiring to escape externally. Capturing it during this fleeting moment required harvesting the medicine.

Simply put, as soon as ”Minor Medicine” formed and tried to break away from the Dantian, potentially ruining months of effort within mere moments, one needed to act.

So, grabbing the ”Minor Medicine” was like firing a powerful crossbow, seizing that brief opportunity through a harvesting action that was neither harvesting nor not harvesting, capturing it right at the instant it formed.

After seizing the ”Minor Medicine” came the Sealing Furnace, also known as stabilizing it.

The body acted as a giant refining melting furnace, with the Dantian at its core, incubating the ”Minor Medicine.”

This encapsulated the entire process of Harvesting and Sealing.

Due to the unique nature of the process, the two steps were inherently connected.

After harvesting, one must immediately proceed to the Sealing Furnace.

This was why Wang Sheng halted his progress at ”99.5%” abruptly, as harvesting required his undivided attention to prevent failure.

In theory, a failed harvest wouldn’t cause much physical harm, only depleting Qi-Blood for some time, but the temporal cost was immense. Hence, despite the presence of a progress bar, he was preparing comprehensively, for capturing the Minor Medicine required summoning all his Essence Qi and spirit without distraction.

After about half an hour of composure, allowing his Qi-Blood and spirit to stabilize, and after ensuring that Da Bai stood guard at the door to prevent any disturbance, Wang Sheng drank a big mouthful of chrysanthemum tea and continued to cultivate his Inner Core Skill, ready to complete the remaining 0.5% in an instant.

And he was poised to capture that very moment!

As the Inner Core Skill circulated, the progress bar gradually advanced.

In that instant—

The progress bar reached a certain limit and hit one hundred percent.

The Qi Blood Power merged with the ”spirit” like a grain of spirit light seemed to flicker for a moment, then Wang Sheng felt something stirring inside his body, as if his Dantian was being agitated.

His ”spirit” sensed something, something had come into existence.

Spirit awareness equals harvesting!

Wang Sheng knew the moment his ”spirit” stirred was the time for harvesting.

He pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth and held his breath, tightening his anus, closing off both his mouth and nose, sealing his entire body. Then he began searching for that spirit light.

”Little Medicine” had already been produced, and at this moment, it would start trying to escape, so it needed to be compelled by the ”spirit” to be forced back into the furnace.

And that furnace was the Dantian.

It was the birthplace of the Little Medicine.

Under the influence of chrysanthemum tea, Wang Sheng’s spirit was highly concentrated. He almost instantly located the Little Medicine and succeeded in harvesting it!

He dared not relax. He immediately mobilized his own Qi-Blood Power and began forcing the Little Medicine, which also meant he started the Sealing Furnace process.
