Chapter 228 - 228: Cultivate Day And Night
The Flamestone was an essential item for cultivating the Flame Body Forging Technique.
While this thing was relatively easy to find, Lu Ming did not bring back many Flamestones back this time.
He carried back several large packages, but the largest one in the packages was the Source Power Skill Sealing Ball this item was undoubtedly more important than the Flamestones.
He did nor know how many Flamestones he would have to consume to cultivate the Flame Body Forging Technique.
After completing the second round of Body Forging Technique, Lu Ming took a brief rest and immediately began the third round.
Soon, it was the fourth round, the fifth round, the sixth round…
Until he completed ten rounds of Body Forging Technique, Lu Ming vaguely noticed that the Flame Qi in his body was becoming scarce as he practiced the final round.
He immediately ended the effect of the Void Space and returned to the outside world. Opening his eyes and looking around, he saw that the Flamestones that were once vibrant red had turned into dull gray stones, indistinguishable from the ordinary rocks.After immediately ending the effect of the Void Domain, Lu Ming returned to the outside world and opened his eyes to look around. He saw that the originally red Flame Fire Stones around him had already turned gray and were no different from the rocks everywhere.
This made Lu Ming understand.
“A unit of Flamestone is about the size of an adult’s fist.”
And one unit of Flamestone could support Lu Ming to cultivate the Flame Body Forging Technique once.
“The consumption is not significant, well within an acceptable range.”
“It’s time to put the purchase of Flamestone on the agenda.”
“I’ll leave it to Mr. Velo for that.”
With this decision in mind, Lu Ming went out and entrusted this matter to Fala. The subsequent affairs would naturally be handled by Fala and her grandfather, and Lu Ming just had to wait.
Back in his room, Lu Ming scattered the remaining Flamestones around and entered the Void Space once again.
In the intermediate Void Realm, time flowed differently, and one day here was equivalent to one hour in the outside world.
And within the Void Realm, Lu Ming’s body entered a state of slumber, resting at all times.
This meant that Lu Ming did not need to sleep.
Of course, mental fatigue was unavoidable. In fact, this cultivation method would make Lu Ming mentally exhausted faster than normal.
However, inside the Void Realm, he could still sleep.
Long ago, Lu Ming had already found the most efficient method of cultivation.
“With a day in the Void Realm as the standard, I can cultivate a full 20 hours and rest for four hours.”
“With a to-day cycle, I can go out to eat once every ten days to replenish my body’s natural consumption.”
“As for my current cultivation projects, I only have the Body Forging Technique and the Source Power Skills… The Body Forging Technique rakes half an hour per cycle. Cultivating it 20 times amounts to 10 hours, and the remaining 10 hours can be used to cultivate the Source Power Skills…”
Among them, the Source Power Armor could be activated all day long and increase one’s proficiency all the time.
As for the remaining Source Power Skills…
“Following the previous plan, I’ll practice the Explosive Fist.”
“First, 1’11 cultivate this Morral Realm Source Power Skill, Explosive Fist, to the highest level and see what surprises it can bring me!”
Lu Ming had always been extremely serious when it came to cultivation!
He would make a plan and then stick to it.
Without external interference, Lu Ming would not easily deviate from his planned schedule.
In the outside world, time flew.
One hour…
Two hours…
Five hours later, the Flame Body Forging Technique advanced to the Proficient stage.
[Flame Body Forging Technique (Proficient) (0/10000): Physique Realm Body Forging Technique. This secret technique requires the assistance of Flamestones during cultivation. Only when rhe power of flame enters the body can one temper rhe physique! ] I
[You have proficiently cultivated the Flame Body Forging Technique. At the Proficient stage, each cycle will increase your three-dimensional attributes by 2 points and grant you 2 free attribute points. It also consumes one unit of Flamestone.]
At this point, Lu Ming opened his eyes because he had run out of Flamestone.
When he went out, he realized that Fala had already informed Velo of his need for the Flamestone, and Velo was a straightforward person.
He took a trip to the Flame Clan Ruins and collected the Flamestones at rhe entrance- the ruins contained many Flamestone mines.
At a slightly higher price than the marker rate, Velo brought back several carts of Flamestones…
After instructing Velo to continue collecting as much as possible, Lu Ming carried the Flamestones into the house.
After a simple meal, Lu Ming continued his cultivation.
The current time was rhe 212th day of the Black Mist Calendar.
For the current Lu Ming, day and night no longer had any meaning.
At this point, with an ample supply of Flamestone, well-fed and well-hydrated, Lu Ming officially entered his planned cycle of cultivation.
One day in the outside world meant that Lu Ming could practice for 23 days within the Void Realm! The missing hour was spent on eating, drinking, and using the restroom.
This clearly illustrated how significant the superpower of the Void Realm was to Lu Ming!
Day 215 of the Black Mist Calendar.
At approximately dawn outside, Lu Ming’s Flame Body Forging Technique advanced again, from Proficient to Mastery.
[Flame Body Forging Technique (Mastery) (0/10000): Physique Realm Body Forging Technique. This secret technique requires the assistance of Flamestones during cultivation. Only when the Flame Power enters the body can one temper the physique! ] ]
[You have mastered the Flame Body Forging Technique. At the Mastery stage, each cycle will increase your three-dimensional attributes by 5 points and grant you 5 free attribute points. It also consumes one unit of Flamestone.]
The attributes gained from mastery increased from 2 to 5 points.
On the same day, Huo Sheng came to visit.
Huo Sheng arrived during lunchtime, and he was unaware that Lu Ming had returned earlier.
Zhang Chengcheng rang the bell and woke Lu Ming up, who was cultivating in seclusion in the bedroom.
Only then did Lu Ming and Huo Sheng meet again.
In the outdoor dining hall, Lu Ming and Huo Sheng chatted as they ate.
Lu Ming briefly chatted about his experience in the Flame Clan Ruins, but of course, he selectively shared certain things.
Some sensitive matters would definitely not be discussed with anyone.
Huo Sheng also talked about the situation the survivors from Nanxiang had encountered during this period.
“Overall, the situation is quite dire.”
Speaking of this, Huo Sheng could not help but sigh deeply.
The Hundred Thousand Mountains primarily took advantage of its complex terrain, but to say that this place was highly habitable… that was definitely not the case.
The rampant presence of exotic beasts alone was enough to give Huo Sheng a headache.
“My previous strategy was to divide and conquer, dispersing into several hundred or even thousands of small gathering points. However, some of these gathering points didn’t have enough strong individuals to defend them, leading to heavy casualties.”
After speaking, Huo Sheng added with a forced smile, “But a few large gathering points managed to survive and are now on the right track.”
As soon as Huo Sheng finished speaking, Lu Ming immediately interrupted, “By the way, have Colonel Bai and Duan Mei set off?”
Bai Tianyu and Duan Mei were responsible for crossing the Hundred Thousand Mountains to contact the Aeonians.
Huo Sheng shook his head and said, “No, we re short on strong individuals, and I don’t dare to send them on a journey like that again.”
Bai Tianyu and Duan Mei were both at the Level Nine Mortal Realm, and they were indispensable combat strength during this phase of the opening up of Nanxiang.
Lu Ming smiled and said, “It’s a good thing that they didn’t leave. Coincidentally, I want to introduce someone to you.”
Huo Sheng asked, “Who is it?”
“The City Lord of Arche an City, Roda. Oh, by the way. Rod a is also a member of the Eternal Clan.”
Huo Sheng immediately narrowed his eyes.
Whether it was his identity as the City Lord of Arche an City or his identity as an Aeonian, both held significant potential for manipulation.
Once this person was put to good use, it could easily improve the situation for the people of Nanxiang.
Thinking of this, Huo Sheng said, “Your relationship with him is…”
Lu Ming thought for a moment and replied, “Life-saving grace.”
I saved his life..”
