Chapter 347: Essence Blood Accumulation, Eternal Spirit Focus
Chapter 347: Essence Blood Accumulation, Eternal Spirit Focus
In the living room, the incense burner gently diffused a soothing aroma that calmed the mind and spirit. The bamboo curtains swayed lightly in the breeze, and through the arched doorway, one could see the meticulously trimmed bamboo, trees, and flowers outside.
Occasionally, a refreshing gust of wind would blow by, making one feel incredibly cool and comfortable.
Chen Chuan said, "I did see something today, but I can't quite explain what it was. I didn't investigate further and just followed Senior Cao's advice, keeping my mind focused and not paying attention to those things."
Cao Guixi nodded and said, "Encountering such a phenomenon during a breakthrough in the old methods is a sign of sufficient talent. Being able to maintain focus and not be influenced by the phenomenon indicates that you have already passed a difficult hurdle.
But this is just the initial challenge you'll face. In the future, during your cultivation, you'll also encounter these phenomena from time to time. However, this isn't entirely a bad thing. They are both your crisis and your cultivation resources. As long as you constantly gather and aren't disturbed by them, you can use them to temper and refine yourself, removing impurities. This will actually benefit you."
He called out, "Uncle Ding, go and get the 'Chronicles of Various Anomalies' for me."
Uncle Ding bowed slightly and turned to leave. After a while, he returned with a traditional bound book, which he handed to Cao Guixi. Cao Guixi gestured for it to be passed to Chen Chuan.
Cao Guixi said, "This book records some strange and bizarre tales. It was originally stored in the Imperial Treasury during the imperial era, and this is a rubbing copy. Inside, it records the experiences of many Third Dimension Fighters from the old era after they achieved their level, along with some corresponding techniques and methods. Chen Chuan, take it back and have a look; it might be helpful."
Chen Chuan took the book from Uncle Ding, thanked him, and flipped through it. He noticed that it was written in traditional vertical text, mostly using ancient variant characters, which felt unfamiliar at first glance.
Fortunately, with the Boundary Token, he could instantly display the modern horizontal text on the side screen, making it easier to read.
At this moment, Cao Guixi picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then set it down. He straightened his posture and said, "You can take your time reading the book, but I'll tell you about the key cultivation points to focus on at this level."
Chen Chuan placed the book aside and sat up straight in his seat, showing his seriousness.
Cao Guixi said, "From the First Dimension to the Third Dimension, each level has its own focus. According to the old saying, they are 'Bone Bridge Construction, Skeleton Beam Assembly,' 'Vital Organ Vitalization, Vital Organ Generation,' and 'Essence Blood Accumulation, Eternal Spirit Focus.' I'm sure your teacher mentioned these when you were studying, right?"
Chen Chuan nodded.
Cao Guixi solemnly said, "Now, at the Third Dimension, what you need to focus on is 'Essence Blood Accumulation, Eternal Spirit Focus'! Essence blood, in the past, referred to the vital energy of the human body. However, for Third Dimension Fighters, 'essence blood' is closely related to morphic enhancement and requires special substances and medications for cultivation. Accumulating essence blood is crucial, as a fighter's combat abilities often depend on the abundance of essence blood.
For example, Wei Wusheng's Iron Body focuses on this aspect, allowing him to regenerate severed limbs, regrow flesh on bare bones, and even return from the dead. This is all due to the abundant essence blood he has accumulated.
The source of this power lies in the 'heart.'"
"Eternal Spirit Focus" refers to a constant and focused mind, enabling fighters to have sharper mental acuity and a more open and free body, becoming the true master of their own bodies.
Third Dimension Fighters often possess astonishing speed and exceptional physical prowess, which is attributed to this focus.
Due to the ever-changing and scattered thoughts, constant cultivation is necessary to maintain focus. This requires a special method of training, and the self-generated phenomenon is one of them. That's why I said it's not entirely a bad thing.
Fighters from non-orthodox backgrounds usually struggle to cultivate this aspect and can only slowly refine themselves through crude and simple methods in repeated life-and-death battles. I have a set of techniques here that you can take and try.
Additionally, Wu Yi Academy offers corresponding methods for purchase. You can try both methods to see which suits you better, or even use them simultaneously. The more varied your experiences, the more resilient you'll become.
When the Eternal Spirit is focused deep within, it can control bodily growth, maintaining youthfulness and longevity. Some fighters remain youthful and vigorous even at a hundred years old without the need for medication, and this is due to the Eternal Spirit Focus.
The source of this power lies in the 'brain.'"
"Essence blood and Eternal Spirit Focus complement each other. It's best to cultivate both simultaneously rather than focusing on just one aspect, as that would be like a lame person."
Hearing this, Chen Chuan combined it with his own knowledge and experiences, and his understanding suddenly became much clearer. He revealed a look of enlightenment.
Cao Guixi intentionally waited for a while, allowing Chen Chuan to process this information. Once he regained his focus, Cao Guixi continued, "Now, I'll also tell you how to cultivate these aspects.
There are essentially two methods: one is through medication. The government, major corporations, and academies all provide cultivation medications, but the Third Dimension medications are specially made and have limited and expensive sources.
Although you are a trial user for Qingnang Yufang, the previous agreements won't apply to you after reaching the Third Dimension. You'll need to sign new agreements if you wish to obtain them. This is one way, but be cautious as large corporations might use the medication to exert more control over you. Consider your decision carefully.
The other method involves a piece of information that cannot be casually disclosed. Due to agreements, I cannot share it with you at this time. But don't worry, within one or two months, the academy or the Handling Bureau will send someone to inform you about these matters and clarify them for you.
As he spoke, he added a reminder, "From now on, you'll need to choose your path carefully. But for now, you're in the consolidation phase, so you don't need to worry about these things for at least thirty to forty days. Later, I'll give you a list of drugs for regulating and maintaining your cultivation, and you can purchase them from the Academy accordingly."
Chen Chuan, seated, gave a respectful fist salute and said sincerely, "Thank you, Senior Cao."
When the Handling Bureau introduced Senior Cao as his mentor, it was only to guide him to the Third Limit. Beyond that, the senior had no obligation to continue, yet he was still willing to offer guidance, for which Chen Chuan was genuinely grateful.
Senior Cao Guixi smiled and said, "The path ahead is challenging, and I may not be able to offer much guidance in your cultivation. You'll have to rely on yourself from now on. However, being a few years older, I can still provide some advice. Feel free to come to me with any questions."
Chen Chuan thanked him again, and the two of them stopped discussing the matter. Instead, they enjoyed their tea and admired the scenery, chatting about the layout of Central City. As evening approached, Chen Chuan bid his farewell and left.
After Chen Chuan teleported away, Ding Shu turned back and said, "The young master has a good eye. Chen Chuan is only eighteen years old, yet he has already achieved the Third Limit. He was able to defeat a fierce bandit like Wei Wusheng, and who knows what he might achieve in the future to fulfill the young master's unfulfilled wishes."
Senior Cao shook his head, "He has his path, and I've already walked mine. There's no need to force others to walk it for me. I'm willing to help because of our rare connection, and also because Chen Chuan is a decent person worthy of support."
He poured himself a cup of tea and seemed to casually say, "Ding Shu, remember, don't mention anything related to me in front of him from now on."
Ding Shu bowed deeply and said, "Yes, young master. I'll remember."
After leaving Mo Tie Mountain, Chen Chuan didn't rush back. Instead, he drove his Gader car slowly, taking in the scenery on both sides of the road.
Since entering the Academy, he had been training diligently. Now that he had reached the Third Limit, he could relax a bit.
He realized it was currently the vacation period. Previously, he had stayed at the Academy for his cultivation, but now that he had resolved most of his tasks, he could finally go home for a visit.
He thought about it and decided to return to Yangzhi in the next couple of days.
Chen Chuan then sent a voice message to Wu Bei, Lao Qi, and some other acquaintances, informing them that he might be away from Central City for a while and that they could contact him via telegram if needed.
Upon returning to the Mystic Palace Tower, he first fed Chao Ming some water and food, watching the little creature happily eating. He thought that since he was going home, it wouldn't be appropriate to leave Chao Ming behind, so it was better to take him along.
Back on the sofa, Chen Chuan took out the list of drugs given to him by Senior Cao and glanced at it. After some thought, he retrieved a copy of the list he had transcribed earlier and compared the two.
This list was left by Teacher Wu and Youxuan, containing drugs suitable for Third Limit Fighters.
As Third Limit Fighters, both of them had stockpiled some Third Limit drugs.
Youxuan, in particular, had a substantial collection of drugs in his storage room, and most of the items marked by Senior Cao were present. Even with daily use, the supply could last for one or two months, which would be just enough time for Chen Chuan to return home and then address this matter.
After all, Chen Chuan was still a reserve agent of the Handling Bureau, and this trip home would take at least a month. It would be best to inform the Bureau before leaving.
However, he could do that tomorrow; for now, he didn't want to do anything. So, he got up, put the list away, sat back on the sofa, and turned on the peripheral channel.
At that moment, on the top floor of the Mystic Palace Tower, within the light screen of the Dean's Assistant Office, the battle between Chen Chuan and Wei Wusheng was being replayed.
A few minutes passed, and the final scene froze on the moment when Chen Chuan stood over Wei Wusheng's fallen body.
Assistant Ling Zhuli leaned back on the sofa, one foot resting on the other leg, his eyes filled with appreciation. In his estimation, Chen Chuan had likely entered the Third Limit not long ago, within a maximum of two months or a minimum of just a few days.
According to the records, Chen Chuan had spent most of the past two months in his dormitory without going out. Only in the past couple of days had he gone to watch the arena tournament, possibly accumulating his strength until breaking through the limit in these recent days.
Despite having reached this limit only recently, he still possessed the strength to defeat Wei Wusheng, a talent rarely seen among Third Limit Fighters. His future growth potential was immeasurable.
At that moment, another voice sounded from the boundary token, "Now that he's confirmed to be a Third Limit Fighter, what's your plan? Will you clarify things with him now?"
Assistant Ling smiled, "There's no rush. Let's wait until he understands the specifics, and then we'll approach him. He may not be able to accept what we have to say right now, so we can take our time."
