Chapter Fifty-Six: Advancement

Dao Sect, only these three major Dao Sects remained.Hearing Jiang Yun's suggestion, the three Dao Sect masters couldn't help but exchange glances with each other.The Path Lord's revenge, they could n...The black mist had dissipated, but all the rubble remained suspended in mid-air, motionless. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that each piece of debris was enveloped by a faint, almost imperceptible wisp of black mist.

"Conquering objects isn't just about controlling a single object, but being able to disperse your spiritual energy into countless portions, with each portion capable of controlling an individual object. That is what true mastery over objects means!"

When you were refining medicine before, when selecting materials, you always took only one kind at a time. However, I also found that sometimes, three or five kinds of materials need to be added simultaneously. Although you are busy but not chaotic, if you could do it like me, wouldn't it be even more efficient

Of course, if this method is applied to attacks, its power will be doubled.

In Lao He's voice, the countless pieces of rubble suddenly moved as one.

Each stone fragment was like a meteor, streaking across the sky in countless unique trajectories. They came from all directions and instantly surrounded Ginger Cloud, leaving him with nowhere to escape.

Jiang Yun's gaze was fixed on the clear tracks left by the streaks of black mist in the air. The excitement on his face gradually transformed into an enlightened expression. He muttered to himself, "Controlling spiritual energy with objects is, in essence, still about controlling spiritual energy. It's just become more complex, and the requirements for controlling spiritual energy are even more precise."

Actually, when Jiang Yun first learned fire-based spells, he realized the importance of spiritual energy control. He even used the method of grasping pebbles to strengthen his control over spiritual energy, striving to waste not a single drop. Therefore, after watching Lao Hei's demonstration, he quickly grasped the key points.

Lao Hei kept staring at Jiang Yun's expression changes. Seeing the realization on Jiang Yun's face now, and hearing his words, he knew that Jiang Yun had already understood.

However, he continued to manipulate those stone fragments in the air, constantly drawing trail after trail. He allowed Ginger Cloud to observe them carefully.

Until after a long while, Lao Hei spoke again: "Among cultivators, there are sword cultivators. What they call sword techniques, even controlling weapons to fly, are actually all evolved from the art of using spiritual energy to control objects."

"Now, do you want to learn the art of Cloud Heaven and Earth Mist, or practice controlling spiritual energy to manipulate objects further"

Ginger Cloud instantly replied without hesitation, "Spiritual Qi Controlling Objects."

Lao Hei smiled slightly and said, "Okay, when you feel ready, I'll teach you!"

After finishing, Lao Hei withdrew the mist, and the stones in the air lost his control and naturally scattered all around Jiang Yun's feet.

Gingercloud ignored Old Black once more, sat down cross-legged again, and with a wave of his hand, streaks of spiritual energy transformed into tiny whirlwinds, starting to swirl around the shattered stones.

Looking at Jiang Yun who was already immersed in controlling the stones, Lao Hei thought to himself, "To achieve precise control over spiritual energy, there aren't many tricks involved. It just requires constant practice and familiarity. The problem is that this process is too tedious and boring, so most cultivators are unwilling to spend too much time on it. I wonder how long Jiang younger brother can persevere!"

He had no idea that, compared to spending nearly sixteen years memorizing the characteristics of tens of thousands of plants and animals, controlling these stones in front of him was far more interesting for Jiang Yun.

……

Ginger Cloud never expected that his trip to the Beast Trap Forest would last for a full three months!

Even if it wasn't because of the worry of being away from the sect for too long, what if Master Senior Brother and the others came back and found me missing, they would search everywhere for me. In that case, my time trapped in this predicament would be even longer.

But when he rushed back to the Zangfeng peak, he found that his senior brother and second senior sister hadn't returned yet. The entire Zangfeng peak was still deserted, with only him!

This also made Jiang Yun's worries heavier in his heart, but he was powerless and couldn't do anything. He even wanted to find someone to ask for advice, but he didn't know who to ask. He could only return to his own hut with disappointment.

After a moment of stunned silence, Jiang Yun's wrist flicked, and a jade bottle materialized before him, accompanied by hundreds of first-grade spirit stones.

Inside the jade bottle were the results of his two months of alchemy in the Beast Trap Forest. There were nine Qi-Drawing Pills, and—three Meridian-Opening Pills!

The "Circulation Pill" is a second-rank elixir. As its name suggests, it's used to open up meridians. Though not as precious as the legendary "Heavenly Ascension Pill", it's still an invaluable treasure for cultivators at the Meridian Opening Realm.

Within the entire Wenda Sect, the number of Tongmai Pills is not large. Apprentice disciples wouldn't even dare to think about it, and outer sect disciples who want to obtain one must spend a large number of contribution points.

If word got out that Ginger Cloud had refined the Tongmai Pill, his status within the Wudao Sect would skyrocket. Even if he wouldn't surpass Fang Yu Xuan, the number one disciple of the inner sect, he definitely wouldn't be far behind.

Of course, if news of him being able to refine the Heavenly Ascension Pill were to spread, even Wei Zhengyang and the other five peak masters wouldn't dare to openly provoke or suppress him.

However, Jiang Yun didn't want to publicize this news. It wasn't that he intentionally hid it, but he simply didn't think that his ability to refine pills was particularly remarkable.

Looking at the jade bottle and spirit stone, Jiang Yun didn't immediately summon the black stone, but instead reminisced about his experiences over the past three months.

For the last two months in the Beast's Den, he spent most of his time learning Qi manipulation and Cloud-Sky Fog-Earth techniques besides refining pills. He had no time to think about other things.

It has to be said that Lao Hei's mastery of sorcery is truly profound, even surpassing his senior sister in the eyes of Jiang Yun.

It was precisely because Lao Hei's earnest guidance that Jiang Yun benefited a great deal. Naturally, this also reminded him of Lao Hei's identity as a demon clan.

Actually, he had the biggest confusion about this—since Wenda Zong and Lao Hei were sworn enemies, why did he become friends with the eldest brother

A moment later, Jiang Yun suddenly smiled and shook his head. "Me and Lao Hei aren't we friends now Since I can be friends with him, with Senior Brother's kind and helpful nature, there's nothing strange about him being friends with him."

Thinking of his elder brother, a smile faded from Jiang Yun's face. He stopped daydreaming and brought out the black stone, holding it in his hand and aiming it directly at a spirit stone.

After shattering over thirty spirit stones, Jiang Yun not only successfully increased the potency of nine Qi-Attracting Pills by three times, but also discovered that like beast pills, each spirit stone contained Dao Intent, with some containing as many as three and others as few as one.

Furthermore, the efficacy of the pills is increased threefold, and it's not a simple increase, but even able to elevate the grade of the elixir!ll creatures, big and small, looked up at the mirror with all their might, gazing into the reflection staring back at them. They were unsure what was happening.At this very moment, only Dao Wu Ming, w...
