34: Chapter 34 Mastering a Heaven-Rank Cultivation Technique in One Night

[Ding! The Bond Quest has been submitted.]

[Evaluating the quest...]

[Evaluation targets: Yun Qinghan (Immortal Emperor Reincarnation), Luo Li (Innate Sword Body).]

[Quest completion rate: Perfect.]

[Comprehensive evaluation: Excellent!]

A series of System prompt tones sounded consecutively in Zhao Ruoan's mind.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining an Excellent rating. Fourfold quest rewards are now being distributed!]

[Reward 1: Cultivation Infusion, Realm promoted to Middle Stage Spirit Gathering Realm!]

[Reward 2: Special title "Master Chef"!]

[Reward 3: Earth-Grade High Grade Body Refining Cultivation Technique Demon Tiger Skill!]

[Reward 4: One hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!]

Boom!

A gentle yet majestic torrent of energy appeared out of thin air throughout Zhao Ruoan's limbs and bones.

This power was not violent at all; instead, it was like the gentlest spring water, scouring his Meridians and nourishing his Dantian and Qi Sea.

His cultivation Bottleneck shattered at the slightest touch before this power.

His Early Stage Spirit Gathering Realm aura climbed steadily, quickly and steadily stopping at the Middle Stage Spirit Gathering Realm level.

Feeling the full Spiritual Qi within his body, Zhao Ruoan felt not the slightest sense of hollowness.

This feeling was no different from what he gained through his own bitter cultivation combined with the automatic idling cultivation of the Great Dao Scripture.

Products from the System were truly of high quality.

This wave directly saved him at least half a month of bitter cultivation.

The improvement in cultivation was merely an appetizer.

Zhao Ruoan shifted his attention to the remaining three rewards.

"Master Chef?"

When he saw this title, he was a bit dumbfounded.

System, did you make a mistake somewhere?

I am a peerless swordsmanship Genius and a future titan of the Immortal Realm; why are you giving me a cook's title?

The art style is a bit off, right!

[Title: Master Chef]

[Effect: Passive ability. The host's ability to process all ingredients, control heat, and match seasonings is greatly enhanced. Any food cooked by the host's hands will have its taste increased by 300%, and the effect of Spirit Food will be amplified by more than 50% (fluctuating depending on ingredient grade and cooking technique).]

After reading the introduction, Zhao Ruoan's breathing stagnated for a split second.

This didn't seem to be the kind of cook he had in mind.

Spirit Food effect amplified by more than 50%?

What kind of concept was this?

Spirit Food in the cultivation world was inherently made from Heaven And Earth Treasures containing Spiritual Qi or the flesh and blood of Yao Beasts, which naturally provided various benefits to cultivation.

A Spirit Pill that could increase cultivation by one year would directly turn into a year and a half after passing through his hands?

A medicinal diet that could temporarily increase combat power by thirty percent would increase by forty-five percent when he made it?

Zhao Ruoan's brain spun rapidly.

One month later was the Tianyao Mountain Range trial organized by the Sect.

What was most abundant in the Tianyao Mountain Range?

Yao Beasts!

Those High Grade Yao Beasts were treasures from head to toe, and their flesh and blood were extremely nourishing items.

When ordinary Disciples obtained them, at most they would exchange them for some Spirit Stones, or simply roast and eat them crudely, retaining less than ten percent of the absorbable Spiritual Qi.

But he was different.

He could completely turn those High Grade Yao Beasts into top-tier Spirit Foods with outstanding effects dish by dish.

By then, others would be fighting to the death, their Spiritual Qi exhausted and their state declining.

Over on his side, he would directly pull out a portion of "Braised Armored Rhinoceros Leg" from his storage ring, take two bites, and his Spiritual Qi would be fully restored, while his physical strength would also temporarily increase by a notch.

Wouldn't opponents be dumbfounded on the spot?

This wave was a hidden divine skill for life-style players!

The more Zhao Ruoan thought about it, the more appealing this title felt.

It was simply a divine skill tailor-made for the upcoming trial.

Looking at the third reward again.

Demon Tiger Skill, an Earth-Grade High Grade Body Refining Cultivation Technique.

A stream of information poured into his mind, and all the Profound Truths of the Cultivation Technique were comprehended by him.

This Cultivation Technique focused on the Physical Body. When cultivated to a high depth, black Demon Tiger battle patterns could condense on the surface of the body, generating an indestructible "Demon Tiger Force", making close-combat killing abilities extremely domineering.

The Cultivation Technique introduction stated that when cultivated to Major Achievement, the Physical Body would be sufficient to shake Spirit Pill Realm powerhouses head-on.

This was yet another powerful trump card.

He currently specialized in the Sword Dao, taking a graceful and agile path, but who said a Sword Cultivator couldn't engage in close combat?

With one hand wielding the Jingxian Sword Canon and the other hand wielding the Demon Tiger divine skill, capable at both long and close range—this was what a real man should look like.

As for the last reward, one hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

Zhao Ruoan silently sensed the pile of Spirit Stones resembling a small mountain in his storage ring, his heart completely calm.

He even felt a little like laughing.

Relying on Artifact Refining, he was already a proper wealthy generation.

Not to mention peers among the Disciples, even some Spirit Sea Realm Elders in the Sect probably weren't as wealthy as him when it came to net worth.

Money was just a number.

After sorting through all the rewards, Zhao Ruoan was fully satisfied.

Instead of resting immediately, he took out another Jade Slip from his storage ring.

This was the Heaven Rank special Cultivation Technique rewarded by the System last time which he hadn't had time to Cultivate yet — the Twin Spirits Formula.

This Cultivation Technique was extremely special, and the threshold for cultivation was frighteningly high, requiring control over Spiritual Qi to reach an unimaginably meticulous degree.

Its effect was also quite Heaven-Defying, capable of splitting one's own Spiritual Qi into two, turning them into two types of power with completely different natures. When facing an enemy, it was unpredictable and made it impossible for people to defend against.

Previously, Zhao Ruoan didn't have much confidence.

But now, having promoted to Middle Stage Spirit Gathering, his Divine Sense and control over Spiritual Qi had both greatly improved, making it the best time to Cultivate this method.

He crushed the Jade Slip, and a massive stream of information rushed into his Sea of Consciousness once again.

Zhao Ruoan sat cross-legged, sinking his mind.

The Great Dao Scripture operated automatically, and under the blessing of the System, his Comprehension Ability was driven to the extreme.

Time quietly slipped away.

Outside the window, the night color gradually turned from a deep black to a fish-belly white.

When the first ray of morning light passed through the lattice window and shone on Zhao Ruoan's face, his tightly closed eyes slowly opened.

It was done.

After a night of bitter cultivation and comprehension, he had completely mastered this Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, the Twin Spirits Formula.

He extended his right hand, a thought flashing through his mind.

A ball of Spiritual Qi emerged in his palm, and then, this ball of Spiritual Qi began to distort and change.

In the end, it actually split into two from the middle.

The left half turned into a ball of blazing flames, emitting a scorching high temperature.

The right half condensed into a translucent ice crystal, exuding a chilling cold qi.

In a single thought, ice and fire shared the same origin.

Zhao Ruoan scattered the Spiritual Qi with satisfaction. Having not slept all night, he didn't feel the slightest bit of exhaustion; instead, he was full of spirit.

"Thud, thud, thud."

A gentle knocking sound came from outside the door.

"Young Lord, it's time for breakfast."

It was Qiuyin's voice.

Zhao Ruoan got up and pushed the door open to walk out.

The two maidens Qiuyin and Xiamo were standing prettily outside the door. Seeing him come out, they quickly bowed and saluted.

Their attitude was even more respectful than before.

Zhao Ruoan knew that the two High Grade Spiritual Artifact jade pendants from yesterday had played a role.

He didn't say much and walked straight towards the stone table in the courtyard.

Breakfast had already been set up, still prepared by the Spirit Chef of Qinghan Peak.

White-jade-like Spirit Rice emitted a faint fragrance.

A dish of stir-fried Bixin greens had spiritual light flowing over the leaves.

A bowl of rich soup brewed from unknown Yao Beast bones was fragrant and enticing.

For ordinary Disciples, these Spirit Foods were already rare delicacies, and long-term consumption was of great benefit to cultivation.

Zhao Ruoan picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of Bixin greens, and found them crisp in the mouth as a gentle Spiritual Qi dissolved in his mouth.

The taste was not bad.

He evaluated silently in his heart.

However, if I were to make it...

Once this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.

He even began to plan that the next time he went to the Tianyao Mountain Range, he would catch a rank 5 Fengxingluan, make half into beggar's chicken and use the other half to make soup. That taste, that effect...

Tsk.

A gourmet anime in the cultivation world?

It seemed quite interesting too.
