Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman Chapter 36: Breaking Through to the 4th Level of Body Refini

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Breaking Through to the 4th Level of Body Refining!

“Flying spiritual beasts are considered one of the most valuable groups among spiritual beasts,”

“Just providing a high-altitude view alone sets them apart from other spiritual beasts.”

After playing around for a while and familiarizing himself with the various commands for the Wen Bird, Su Ping let the tired bird fly back to rest.

Later, Su Ping rembered that he still had Spirit Rice and demon beast at in his storage bag that he hadn’t tried.

Taking advantage of his good mood today, Su Ping decided to cook a delicious al to celebrate.

He took out a Big Bluefish and chose to steam it.

...

Su Ping started cooking and turned the demon beast at into several stir-fry dishes.

Buzz!

He lifted the pot lid, and a big pot of cooked Spirit Rice appeared before Su Ping’s eyes.

Each grain of this Spirit Rice was as shiny as a little crystal bead, with a fragrance that was so tempting it made Su Ping’s mouth water, and his appetite surged.

“This Spirit Rice is much better quality than the ones I used to buy in the Outer Sect!”

“It seems those Tribulation Cultivators do spend generously when it cos to eating!”

With bowl and chopsticks in hand, under the watchful, watery eyes of the surrounding contracted Spiritual Beasts, Su Ping was the first to start eating.

Gulping down the food, the large pot of Spirit Rice cooked from five pounds soon hit bottom.

There were only bones and scraps left of the demon beast at and Big Bluefish.

Su Ping finally put down his chopsticks.

Then, the Spiritual Rats White and Grey occupied the remnants of the Big Bluefish, the Wen Bird dove into the rice bowl pecking at the broken rice, while the puppy and black cat chose to tussle over the demon beast bones.

“Whew!”

“My food intake increased, especially after I achieved Minor Achievent in Body Refinent,”

“This is good, as it allows to absorb more nutrients for a certain period and hasten my cultivation!”

“But the consumption of resources has intensified, luckily I’ll soon have the Pot Cave Heaven. Once I have this Cave Heaven Secret Realm, I can be bolder.”

Taking advantage of his full belly, Su Ping began to ditate and cultivate.

……

It took Su Ping three days to eat twenty pounds of demon beast at and nearly a hundred pounds of Spirit Rice.

Plus the Qi Blood Waste Pills every night.

Then, during one Body Refinent session, after taking Purification Spirit dicine to cleanse the Pill Poison, his body revitalized and he broke through to the Fourth Layer of Body Refinent!

He beca a Middle Period Cultivator in both Qi Cultivation and Body Refinent!

In the Outer Sect, a cultivator adept in both Qi and Body to the Middle Period would definitely gain so fa in the Immortal Sect Outer Sect and receive certain care from the Deacon.

Su Ping naturally wouldn’t expose his true strength just for that bit of care.

He chose to continue celebrating in a low-key manner.

However, there would always be soone to disturb his cultivation.

The day after he broke through to the Fourth Layer of Body Refinent,

a Loose Cultivator ca to visit Su Ping with a letter from the City Lord Mansion.

When Su Ping t him, he found that the visitor was a Buddhist Monk, about thirty years old.

His Cultivation was at the Second Tier of Qi Cultivation, considered decent among Loose Cultivators.

“Amitabha, poor monk Hui Neng, greets the inspector,”

The Monk saluted, and upon seeing Su Ping, his heart stirred.

He imdiately realized the intelligence was incorrect; in his eyes, this inspector’s presence was unfathomable, dignified, and his eyes glead.

Not at all like those old cultivators who had given up on cultivation due to a lack of prospects.

He felt a bit nervous about his mission, but still, he braced himself and said:

“Inspector, I co from the Little Golden Light Temple, and I am here on behalf of our abbot to invite you,” said the monk.

“The abbot wishes for you to co to the Little Golden Light Temple for a gathering.”

“The abbot values this small eting greatly and is willing to share a hundred-year-old bitter tea with the cultivators,” he added.

“Hmm?”

Su Ping was slightly taken aback, then recalled the information about this Little Golden Light Temple.

The Little Golden Light Temple primarily consisted of Buddhist cultivators. It was rumored that the previous abbot was a true disciple of the Great Golden Light Temple, a sect on the Righteous Path nearly as esteed as the Chi Yuan Immortal Sect.

However, it was unknown what had happened, but he later returned to his hotown within the Chi Yuan Immortal Sect’s territory. Then, with the sect’s tacit approval, he purchased a second-tier low-grade spirit vein from an Immortal Cultivation family and established the Little Golden Light Temple.

The temple mainly took in loose cultivators, and the few with decent spirit roots were either adopted from outside or nurtured by the temple from a young age.

Although from ti to ti, so cultivators from the Immortal Sects felt sowhat displeased that the temple ran moneylenders in the Mortal World and acquired a lot of land, increasing its influence over the mortals.

This, however, did not lead to an outright ban against the Little Golden Light Temple.

All things considered, the Little Golden Light Temple was seen as a sensible force that followed the rules.

Yet, at this point in ti, going to another’s territory was still too dangerous!

Su Ping shook his head and declined the invitation, citing busyness.

The monk was taken aback.

Such a firm denial—had he really resisted the temptation of the hundred-year-old bitter tea?

After all, that was a spiritual item beneficial even to cultivators in the middle and late stages of Qi Cultivation!

“See the guest out!”

Su Ping waved his hand, ready to have the maid ask the monk to leave.

“Wait… please wait a mont!”

Seeing this, the monk hurriedly took out a jade scroll from his storage bag:

“Please, Inspector, read the contents of this jade scroll before making your decision.”

“This was specially instructed by the abbot before he left. If soone is unwilling to co, they could first take a look and then decide.”

Su Ping opened Spiritual Rat White’s perspective and confird there was nothing unusual about the jade scroll before stretching out his right hand and drawing the jade scroll into his palm.

“You folks at the Little Golden Light Temple really do have the hearts of Bodhisattvas,” he remarked.

“Go back and tell the abbot that since it concerns fighting against the Evil Spirits, Golden Sparrow City agrees to this matter,” Su Ping responded after reading the jade scroll and understanding the abbot’s thoughts.

It was due to the recent surge of Evil Qi and the appearances of Evil Spirits that the abbot of the Little Golden Light Temple, moved by the suffering of the common folk, hoped to set up governnt-supported Water and Land Dojos in the suburbs of major cities, relying on the power of widespread faith.

The aim was to erode the Evil Spirits sealed inside the magic artifacts provided by the temples, thereby releasing these artifacts so that Righteous Path cultivators could use them to seal more Evil Spirits.

“Magic artifacts that seal Evil Spirits?”

“Such artifacts likely can’t be provided by the Little Golden Light Temple alone; it’s probably the Great Golden Light Temple behind this, isn’t it?”

“If the Little Golden Light Temple dares to do this, it’s at least tacitly approved by the higher echelons of the Immortal Sects. Is this one of the compromises reached with the Great Golden Light Temple?”

“It’s said that Evil Spirits are hard to eradicate, only slowly eroded by divine thought. The strategies of the Immortal Sects seem to primarily involve sealing, while the Buddhist Sect replacing divine thought with faith does seem like a feasible strategy.”

“Just that they are so proactive.”

“Perhaps eroding the Evil Spirits themselves could yield considerable benefits?”

Su Ping was quite interested in this aspect.

After all, from the contracted control he observed with Grey and White, the Spiritual Rats of Water Blue Star, over the rats big and small, it was evident.

There indeed existed a space for the power of faith on Water Blue Star, but due to the absence of spiritual power, this force would often dissolve before it could beco dominant.

So, if he could learn the thod to erode Evil Spirits,

perhaps he could try utilizing the unclaid power of faith in his holand to erode so Evil Spirits and then see what benefits that may yield?
