Chapter 60: Chapter 51: Terrifying Talent, A Day to Construct the Thunder Root

At this moment, the originally chaotic and disordered marks on the jade, which resembled the haphazard scrawls left by a hundred monkeys urinating, actually began to reveal certain patterns within Lin Xuankong’s vision!

That feeling was like when people gaze at the starry sky; facing countless stars, some can only see large clumps, while others can recognize the Big Dipper, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, Leo, Andromeda, and Sagittarius.

Concentrating on visualizing the hidden patterns within the marks, Lin Xuankong gradually felt that the countless acupoints within his body corresponded to the numerous marks on the jade.

Soon after, from the locations of his Dantian and Brain Mansion Life Plate, two streams of Qi Blood began to gently circulate automatically. These two streams flowed along the Chong Vessel, Belt Vessel, Yin Linking Vessel, Yang Linking Vessel, Yin Heel Vessel, and Yang Heel Vessel—the six extraordinary meridians—as well as the twelve main meridians. They operated continuously, finally rushing into the Conception and Governing Vessels before swirling back into his Dantian.

After this process repeated for about the time it takes to drink three cups of tea, Lin Xuankong felt the countless marks on the jade before him suddenly shine brightly.

At the same time, within his body, those two streams of Qi Blood—originating from his Dantian and Life Plate—suddenly transformed into two extremely small Divine Thunders within his Dantian.

Though these two small Divine Thunders were tiny, they were like two Divine Dragons, full of mysterious divine charm and extremely lively and active. They constantly wandered and twisted within his Dantian, teasing and absorbing the Qi Blood there. When Lin Xuankong’s Heart Spirit moved slightly, the two small Divine Thunders obeyed his will perfectly, moving left when directed left, right when directed right, up and down, spinning in place, and hopping about.

Lin Xuankong’s heart gradually filled with joy as enlightenment dawned upon him. It seems I’ve nurtured two Divine Thunder Roots in the time it takes for three cups of tea! Is it really this simple to nurture Divine Thunder Roots? According to Xu Bei, the Yin Talisman Technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. Without guidance, one might not master it even in ten years... That fellow was surely bluffing!

At this moment, Lin Xuankong heard someone calling out beside him, "Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Lin, are you alright?"

Immersed in his cultivation, Lin Xuankong’s Heart Spirit stirred, and he awakened. However, as he sensed the external world, he suddenly felt his Heart Spirit utterly fatigued, and he was dizzy and dazed, as if he hadn’t slept for days and nights from constantly watching action movies!

Dizzy and dazed, he ignored Gu Beicheng’s calls from beside him. He looked at the Visualization Jade with some apprehension and thought, I can’t believe visualizing this jade to cultivate the Yin Talisman Technique not only exhausts Qi Blood but also consumes so much Heart Spirit! Is it because I’m old and my vitality is declining, or did my cultivation go awry? That shouldn’t be it; the Divine Thunder Roots have already appeared!

Gu Beicheng saw his silence and nervously spoke, "Senior Brother Lin, are you alright? Just now I saw your face turn pale and your Qi Blood constantly surging. I was afraid you might go astray while cultivating the Yin Talisman Technique and harm your Heart Spirit!"

Lin Xuankong secretly circulated his Qi Blood and rested for a moment. Once the dizziness vanished, he finally said, "It’s nothing. I just got a bit dizzy after visualizing this jade for the time it takes to drink three cups of tea."

"A bit dizzy?" Gu Beicheng’s expression became even more anxious.

Lin Xuankong, thinking of the two Divine Thunder Roots that had just appeared in his Dantian, couldn’t help but ask, "Steward Gu, what was it like when you first cultivated a Divine Thunder Root within your body?"

Gu Beicheng frowned upon hearing this. "Cultivating the Yin Talisman Technique is incredibly challenging," he said. "Nurturing the first Divine Thunder Root is no easy feat. Back then, I had just gained the qualification to cultivate. Under Steward Xua’s guidance, I visualized this Transmission Jade daily. Every day, my Heart Spirit would be exhausted, and my Qi Blood depleted.

"It took me over two months to finally nurture that first Divine Thunder Root. At the time, the Divine Thunder Root within my Dantian was minuscule. I had to exhaust all my Qi Blood daily just to gradually strengthen it.

"Senior Brother Lin, you’ve only just begun your cultivation; you mustn’t be impatient for results. The patterns on these Transmission Jades were left by the sect’s founding master. The lightning-like marks on them are exceedingly intricate and contain profound power. Visualizing them is extremely draining on both Heart Spirit and Qi Blood. Even young Martial Cultivators with ample Heart Spirit and abundant Qi Blood should never visualize for longer than the time it takes for three cups of tea per day. At your age... you absolutely must not exceed that limit!"

Upon hearing this, the worry that had surfaced in Lin Xuankong’s heart immediately vanished. So, the extreme fatigue I felt in my Heart Spirit wasn’t because I’m old and my vitality is declining, nor was it because my cultivation went awry... It’s because the Transmission Jade itself is incredibly draining on the Heart Spirit! It’s the same for everyone; they can only visualize the jade for the time it takes to drink three cups of tea!

However, Gu Beicheng, hailed as a one-in-ten-thousand Four-Seal Genius, actually took more than two months to cultivate his first Divine Thunder Root? And here I am, with two Divine Thunder Roots in my Dantian... I cultivated two of them on my very first day!

[Yin Talisman Technique: Entry Level 1/20]

I haven’t even started nurturing these Divine Thunder Roots yet, and my proficiency in the Yin Talisman Technique has already increased by one point! If I expend my Qi Blood to nurture them today, I might increase my proficiency even more! I truly am exceptionally compatible with the Yin Talisman Technique! And with the help of my Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate, my cultivation speed for the Yin Talisman Technique is terrifyingly fast! I wonder, before I reach the Initial Glimpse stage, how many Divine Thunder Roots will I be able to nurture? This will determine the power of the Yin Talisman Thunder I can wield in the future... As I recall, Han Lu had five thunders, Xu Bei had six, Gu Beicheng has nine, and the Charming Chief Steward apparently has eleven...
