Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

He took out the Tornado Windmill Magic Artifact and placed it close to his Middle Dantian.

Inside the Five Qi Tian Shu Dantian, the Five-Colored Vortex spun like a tornado, immense and piercing the heavens. The Five Elements Mana, at times clear-cut and at times merging into one, accelerated its rotation under the boost of the Tornado Windmill, absorbing external Spiritual Energy and transforming it into personal Mana more quickly.

While Cultivating the Mirror Stand Spirit Communication Technique, he employed the Calming Bell.

The bell tones rang out, swiftly bringing him into a state of deep contemplative Spirit, continuously delving further.

In the Bright Mirror Spirit Light Dantian, thoughts surged and proliferated. Extraneous thoughts were discarded, voluntarily extinguished, unique Mirror Intents coalesced and formed various flat mirrors. At the extremities above and below, two vast mirror surfaces acted as the heavens and earth within the Dantian.

In the Dantian, the most conspicuous was indeed the Buddha Heart Demon Seal.

Besides that, there was the Divine Power Life Thread, symbolized by the pink lotus and verdant leaves.

“According to common knowledge, there are mainly six stages at the Foundation Establishment Stage, corresponding to the early, middle, and late phases of the period.”

“They are respectively Unobstructed Field Opening, Treasure Medicine Generation, Dantian Shines, Abnormal Phenomenon Seed Talisman, Inner Golden Light, and Transforming from Void to Real.”

“The Three Superior Sect Techniques are considered Upper Methods. The content of the Foundation Establishment Chapter indeed contains these six stages.”

Had it been an earlier technique, it might not have included these six stages.

New techniques are superior and compared to old, out-of-date techniques, they can better strengthen a cultivator’s foundation and more comprehensively enhance a cultivator’s power.

Throughout history, accordingly, junior Foundation Establishment Cultivators following new techniques are often much stronger than their predecessors from the same era.

Ning Zhuo held the Five Organs Temple Spirit Divine Skill in his hands, a technique so ancient that the stages of early, middle, and late Foundation Establishment scarcely differed at all.

If forced to make a distinction, there was only the final “Transforming from Void to Real” stage, which was also mixed with the final Crossing Tribulation and Refining Pill.

Unlike current techniques, which distinguish the two and refine them further, allowing for more precise sculpting.

“Every day, I invest three times more time into cultivation than ordinary people do.”

“Normally, the daily cultivation cost for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, if converted into Spirit Stones, is about 1,500 Low Grade Spirit Stones.”

“The various Spirit Foods I consume and the cost of using Magic Artifacts translate to a daily consumption of 5,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones.”

“Even so, I have not yet reached the stage of Unobstructed Field Opening, not even a trace of a sign.”

“Sigh…”

Ning Zhuo traveled the world, encountering more and more powerful adversaries.

Sometimes he even had to directly face threats at the Nascent Soul Level!

Situations like a Foundation Establishment Cultivator meeting an opponent of similar strength, or at most slightly higher, mostly exist only in stories.

Reality is cruel; it does not treat you kindly because you are weak. On the contrary.

Ning Zhuo yearned for his cultivation level to increase rapidly.

He had once consulted Sun Lingtong about this matter, only to be persuaded by the latter.

Ning Zhuo knew that Sun Lingtong’s words were reasonable and that his own progress was already quite fast. A 16-year-old Foundation Establishment Cultivator was an exceptional achievement in the entire Cultivation World.

But Ning Zhuo still wished for a surge in his cultivation!

Especially after Zhang Zhongyi suggested that he perform Dual Cultivation with Mu Lan, it further ignited this thought.

“I really want my cultivation level to skyrocket!”

“Being only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, there’s so much I can’t do. It’s really frustrating.”

“Dual Cultivation…”

Though Ning Zhuo declined Zhang Zhongyi, he was indeed secretly tempted.

Once he performed Dual Cultivation with Mu Lan, his cultivation would skyrocket due to the Dual Cultivation itself. Coupled with Mu Lan’s special circumstances, a substantial amount of cultivation would be infused into him, causing his increase to be even more explosive!
