Practicing the Five Elements Technique

The Waste Pill Room had been uninhabited for many years.

Shen Fan was happy to have the peace and quiet.

He then laid out the Heavenly Spirit Five Elements Art and began to Cultivate.

With the foundation of the Introduction to Qi Technique, Cultivating the Heavenly Spirit Five Elements Art was quite easy.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Shen Fan had already gotten a glimpse of the basics.

He only had weak talent, but his Comprehension Ability was still good.

As the Heavenly Spirit Five Elements Art circulated,

the surrounding Spiritual Qi immediately found an outlet and began to surge towards Shen Fan.

But guess what?

Hey!

Traffic jam!

The surrounding Spiritual Qi did begin to gather under the circulation of the Heavenly Spirit Five Elements Art.

However, Shen Fan’s lowest-grade first-rank Five Elements Spiritual Root seemed to have become a single-plank bridge, and the Spiritual Qi outside crowded together, unable to enter at all.

Shen Fan slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his slightly swollen head.

How to deal with this?

This talent is too trashy!

But no matter what, he still had to Cultivate.

As Spiritual Qi entered his body through his skin pores, it gathered in various acupoints, then flowed along the Spiritual Vein towards his Dantian.

Because it was a Five Elements Spiritual Root, to avoid the Five Elements clashing, it was necessary to first differentiate it based on the principle of mutual generation of the Five Elements, thereby entering and being stored and refined within the five Spiritual Roots.

The Dantian itself was regarded as a miniature "Small World," where the Five Elements Spiritual Qi followed the "mutual generation cycle."

Wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood.

Why are single Spiritual Roots so amazing?

It's because there's only one, and Cultivating with it is like a starryAvenue (Dao), unimpeded.

And the Five Elements Spiritual Root is like dividing the starryAvenue (Dao) into five narrow paths, greatly slowing down the speed.

One also has to constantly be wary of the danger of conflicting attributes.

It is precisely because of this that Cultivation is extremely difficult, to the extent that it is called a trash Spiritual Root.

However, if not for this, once the Five Elements Spiritual Root matures and reaches the Golden Core stage, condensing a Five Elements Golden Core, its power would far exceed that of Cultivators of the same rank.

...

...

And as the Spiritual Qi entered the Dantian,

Shen Fan immediately circulated the Heavenly Spirit Five Elements Art, gathering the Spiritual Qi in the center of his Dantian.

The Dantian itself is defined as the "Earth Spirit Abode," with earth belonging to the center, encompassing all things.

After the Five Elements Spiritual Qi enters the Dantian, it is first neutralized by the Earth Spirit Qi, Impurities are removed, and then it is differentiated and allocated to enter the other four types of Spiritual Roots.

After one cycle of circulation, Shen Fan happily opened his eyes.

"This Heavenly Spirit Five Elements Art is truly miraculous!"

The original Introduction to Qi Technique only absorbed Spiritual Qi indiscriminately, and then refined it sequentially through the five Spiritual Roots, a speed so slow it made one want to cry.

But now, this Heavenly Spirit Five Elements Art, with the Earth Spiritual Root as the main one, absorbs Spiritual Qi and then differentiates and harmonizes it.

One cycle can Cultivate five attributes simultaneously, greatly reducing Shen Fan's time.

And just at this moment, Shen Fan suddenly widened his eyes, then covered his Dantian and fell to the ground.

"So...so...so much pain!"

Within his Dantian, a piercing burning sensation suddenly appeared.

"What's going on?"

Shen Fan was filled with doubt, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead due to the intense pain.

"Is there a problem with the Cultivation Technique?"

"That shouldn't be! Old Duan wouldn't harm me!"

A moment later, the burning sensation gradually lessened.

Shen Fan did not dare to circulate the Heavenly Spirit Five Elements Art, but instead cautiously used the Introduction to Qi Technique to investigate.

As a stream of Spiritual Qi entered his body, Shen Fan followed the location of the previous burning sensation to investigate.

"So that's how it is!"

After a thorough investigation, Shen Fan suddenly realized.

Looking around, a scorching aura filled the room.

The pain just now was precisely due to the burning sensation caused by the entry of fire Spiritual Qi.

This place was filled with the core of the earth fire, which contained fire poison. The circulation of the Heavenly Spirit Five Elements Art also absorbed this fire poison.

However, the fire poison was too strong for even the Earth Spiritual Root to remove, leading to it being absorbed by the Fire Spiritual Root. The Fire Spiritual Root also could not endure the erosion of the fire poison, which is why it was so painful.

This means he can't continue to Cultivate here in the future.

Otherwise, accelerating the absorption of fire poison, let alone a year, three to five months would be enough to kill him!

But this entire area is filled with a scorching aura, unless he leaves here, there's no other way!

And just at this moment, Shen Fan's peripheral vision caught sight of the first-rank top-grade "Azure Water Fire Control Technique" that Old Duan had given him.

"This is a defensive Spell. I wonder if it can counteract the erosion of fire poison?"

Thinking of this, Shen Fan eagerly began to Cultivate.

But a moment later, he opened his eyes with a frown.

"This place is filled with the core of the earth fire, and the water attribute Spiritual Qi contained within the Spiritual Qi is pitifully scarce. Cultivating this Spell is like a seventy-year-old grandmother crossing the road—extremely difficult!"

Thinking of this, Shen Fan immediately pushed open the door and walked out.

The morning sun diligently pierced through the dense fog in the forest.

The moisture in the air was noticeably much more abundant.

Shen Fan immediately went to a large tree and began to Cultivate.

As the "Azure Water Fire Control Technique" circulated, the water attribute Spiritual Qi stored in the Water Spiritual Root was called upon.

The refreshing sensation spread throughout his body along the Spiritual Vein, giving Shen Fan a feeling of being cleansed.

Within his Dantian, the slight fire poison accumulated by the Fire Spiritual Root was instantly dispelled.

As the water Spiritual Qi was released from the inside out,

accompanied by Shen Fan's unified will, a water shield the size of aCuju appeared in his hand.

This was the manifestation of the "Azure Water Fire Control Technique's" effect.

Controlling fire did not mean controlling flames.

It meant suppressing them.

But a moment later, the water shield dissipated, and the refreshing sensation also disappeared.

"The little Spiritual Qi accumulated in the Water Spiritual Root of this first-rank Five Elements Spiritual Root is only enough to cast the Azure Water Fire Control Technique once! And its defensive power is simply unbearable to look at!"

Shen Fan gave a wry smile.

But on second thought, he had succeeded directly on his first attempt at Cultivation.

It seemed his Comprehension Ability was indeed good!

On the path of Cultivation, talent is certainly important, but Comprehension Ability should not be underestimated.

Otherwise, with a profound immortal Cultivation Technique, if your Comprehension Ability is lacking, you might not even get a glimpse of the basics after several years of Cultivation.

As the morning sun rose, the morning fog dissipated.

The blazing sun and this core of the earth fire, like a thunder striking the earth fire, instantly made the area within several miles of the Waste Pill Room become hot.

"It seems that from now on, I can only Cultivate at night or in the early morning!"

Returning to the Waste Pill Room.

Shen Fan hid his Cultivation Technique and Spell under the bed.

"If only I had a Storage Pouch!"

Looking at the bulging bed, Shen Fan said with a sense of insecurity.

Afterward, Shen Fan went to the cooking area and opened the rice jar to check.

He saw that there was still half a jar of white rice.

Before coming, Shen Fan had heard from the Senior Brother who left that the food and daily necessities here would be delivered every month.

So he didn't need to worry about meals like he did at the Spirit Field.

"The temperature here is so high, aren't you afraid the rice will turn into popcorn?"

Shen Fan said with a laugh, then scooped out some rice, added water, and drew some core of the earth fire from the incinerator's entrance to start cooking.

In a short while, the white rice was cooked.

Shen Fan immediately began to eat heartily.

While eating, Shen Fan hesitantly took out the Corpse Refining Technique that Old Duan had left for him.

If this kind of evil Cultivation Technique were discovered by the Tianxuan Sect, there would be only one path: death.

This Old Duan really had a lot of guts!
