Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Dragon Tiger Pill Book (To quit LOL, congratulations to the Alliance Hierarch! Ask for monthly tickets!)

Sweet Water Alley Mansion.

Ever since he acquired the Ten Thousand Beasts Technique, Zhong Shenxiu had requested a long leave of absence from Feng Xixi and devoted himself to arduous cultivation day and night.

Feng Xixi showed understanding and generously approved.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month hurriedly passed.

Within the garden, under the plum tree, Zhong Shenxiu sat cross-legged, petals falling onto his shoulders, only to be repelled by an unknown force.

Zhong Shenxiu shivered all over and opened his eyes, "Still no success!"

Having set up a pretense, he immediately went into retreat, planning to refine his mana through bitter cultivation.

Originally, he thought that with his experience in cultivating the White Bone Dao Book, even if he couldn’t achieve instant enlightenment, he could potentially succeed in three to five days.

However, the difficulty of breaking through to the way of the Dao and entering the Heavenly Gate was beyond Zhong Shenxiu’s imagination.

Even though the spiritual energy of this world was richer.

Even though he carried the cultivation experience of Zhang Taiyi and the true teachings of the "Dragon Tiger Pill Book."

He still shamefully failed.

"Sigh..."

Zhong Shenxiu stood up, pacing in circles with a hint of depression, "It seems I must admit... my aptitude is quite mediocre."

He was originally just an ordinary person with unremarkable talents.

Even though he had made a great name for himself as Young Master Shen Xiu in the first world he crossed into, most of that was due to the foolish system’s help, not his own.

Especially when it came to breaking through barriers!

Even a genius would be terribly stuck at a bottleneck, not to mention him.

Going from Innate to Gang Sha Realm was the first major hurdle in cultivation, and it was normal not to break through.

"Admitting one’s mediocrity is also a sign of maturity... damn it!"

Zhong Shenxiu dug at his ear, "Stupid system, I don’t want to try anymore."

[Would you like to spend 3 Heavenly Show Points in conjunction with the Ten Thousand Beasts Technique to break through to the Gang Sha Realm?]

A prompt immediately appeared.

"Huh?!"

Zhong Shenxiu was slightly surprised.

Originally, when he obtained the "Dragon Tiger Pill Book," he had consulted this stupid system because he had acquired the continuation of the technique. At that time, it required 5 Heavenly Show Points to break through to Gang Sha and refine mana.

But at that time, if he had broken through, he wouldn’t have been able to explain it, so he postponed it.

Now, however, it had changed to 3 points.

"It seems, my half month of bitter cultivation is equivalent to 2 Heavenly Show Points?"

"In other words, if I were to cultivate bitterly for another half month, maybe I could break through? No, it’s hard to say... I might encounter another bottleneck..."

Zhong Shenxiu glanced at his reserve of Heavenly Show Points.

He had harvested 70 points from one world, and since coming back, he hadn’t made much of a splash, except for the one time he decisively defeated Zhang Taiyi, but there was no audience...

However, surviving and making a brief appearance in front of the Protector General did count as a small show, adding another 2 points to his account.

"Half a month, well... I’m in a rush, yes!"

Zhong Shenxiu’s thoughts intensified sharply.

Boom!

In his mind, the Ten Thousand Beasts Visualization Method rapidly reached completion, and around him seemed to emerge the phantom images of a dragon and a tiger. They surged towards the primordial Qi of heaven and earth, opened their mouths wide, and fiercely absorbed the type of Qi needed for cultivating the Ten Thousand Beasts Power.

The primordial Qi of heaven and earth can transform into myriad forms of Qi!

The White Bone Magic Power cultivated by the White Bone Scholar requires a type of Qi that leans towards toxic and evil, which occupies a very small proportion within the primordial Qi of heaven and earth, considered somewhat unconventional.

However, the Ten Thousand Beasts Power is different; it absorbs balanced and harmonious Qi, which holds a heavier proportion within the primordial Qi and seemed to be available everywhere, drawing it effortlessly.

Even above Zhong Shenxiu, the primordial Qi of heaven and earth stirred, vaguely converging into a massive vortex, rolling down like a funnel.

Within his body, the three treasures of essence, Qi, and spirit united, suddenly giving rise to the first thread of mana!

At this point, he broke through the entry to the Heavenly Gate, achieving the Gang Sha Realm!

"Dragon Tiger Magic Power is indeed more than ten times stronger than White Bone Magic Power..."

Under the plum tree, Zhong Shenxiu leapt up and laughed heartily.

He now had truly broken through in his cultivation and could be considered a genuine Cultivator, capable of practicing spells and advancing rapidly, with the prospect of eternal life!

’Speaking of which, after Gang Sha Cultivators consume Nine Yin and Swallow Eight Yang, comes the Seven-locking Technique... There are seven grades of Divine Powers, and a Cultivator can at most refine seven innate divine abilities. However, in reality, Loose Cultivators mostly have just one... Daoist Disciples two or three, True Inheritors four or five, and Zhang Taiyi is terrifying, having refined six, each one a Great Divine Power. Once he achieves Primordial Pill, his cultivation and mana are bound to be the cream of the crop!’

Thinking this, Zhong Shenxiu’s mind sank into the "Dragon Tiger Pill Book."

This top-grade tome of the Inner Sect of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect records a total of five Divine Powers for disciples to choose from.

Of course, it’s possible to cultivate all of them, but only those with unparalleled talents, supreme fortune, and unmatched opportunities can attempt it.

Among these, the Third Grade Divine Power that Zhong Shenxiu was certain to cultivate—the Dragon-subduing and Tiger-suppressing Divine Seal.

This seal technique not only has astounding power but also comes with inherent Dragon Tiger Qi, which suppresses the Five Elements and bans all spells, extremely sharp in spell battles. Zhang Taiyi’s Divine Soul highly recommends it.

The Divine Power split into spells is the Yin Evil Technique, White Tiger Descending Mountain Seal, and the Yang Gang Skill, Nine Dragons Soaring Cloud Map!

Using just two inherent techniques to condense a Third Grade Divine Power is an exceptionally favorable choice.

In contrast, there’s a Second Grade Divine Power—Five Elements Heavenly Escape. It’s said that after mastering this power, one can move freely among the Five Elements, unmatched in the Escape Skill. But to cultivate it, one must integrate six spells: Gold Escape, Wood Escape, Water Escape, Earth Escape, Fire Escape, and the Carefree Wind Escape—a total of six techniques!

This really makes one’s blood boil, but according to Zhang Taiyi’s experience, disciples of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect who choose this Divine Power are not in the minority.

The first reason is that the Five Elements Heavenly Escape is high-grade, greatly beneficial for future Core Formation.

The second is that the Evil Qi needed for cultivating the Five Elements Escape Technique is easily obtained. Although it seems numerous, it’s actually not much of an issue.

The truly challenging part is the only First-class Divine Power in the "Dragon Tiger Pill Book!"

This Divine Power is called—Nine Pure Immortal Light Protection Divine Power! It requires the merging of Taiching Demon Refining Immortal Light, Taiyin Demon Suppressing Divine Light, and the Great Void Protective Mysterious Light. Each of these three Daoist skills is extremely difficult to cultivate. Not to mention the great opportunity needed to lastly condense the Divine Power; just the required special Gang Sha Qi is extremely rare and frustrating.

Even Zhang Taiyi had once eyed this Divine Power but eventually gave up.

Once this Divine Power is achieved, it can stabilize Yin and Yang, and the cosmos, rendering all methods ineffective, and nothing can break it. Innately, one would stand on invincible ground.

Sadly, the difficulty is too high, making even Zhong Shenxiu wince at the thought.

The final two Divine Powers within the "Dragon Tiger Pill Book" are Undying Heavenly Fire and Wood Renewed with Spring, one controls fire and other heals, respectively ranked as Third and Fourth Grade.

Undying Heavenly Fire needs refining of Three Suns True Fire, Six Void Yin Fire, and Nine-Headed Flame Dragon Technique.

Wood Renewed with Spring is a combination of Spring Breeze and Rain Technique and the Revitalizing Immortal Dew Technique.

’Five great Divine Powers, split into sixteen techniques, plus one foundational Ten Thousand Beasts True Body Technique, exactly fill the quota for Seventeen Inherent Techniques. If all are mastered, it represents the highest achievement in the "Dragon Tiger Pill Book." Even in the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, it would cause a stir among the Sect Leader and many Supreme Elders, and you would be directly listed as a True Inheritor.’

’In reality, this path is too arduous; many disciples directly give up on the Nine Pure Immortal Light Protection Divine Power, yet achieve greater success...’

’I don’t necessarily have to aim for perfect configuration; something less can also work.’

Zhong Shenxiu pondered thoughtfully, "However, if I want to make a stunning debut using Heavenly Show Points to forcefully push through, it seems feasible, but I wonder how much it will cost?"

Certainly, there are opportunities to cut corners.

For example,finding a crafting combination of Evil Qi and Gang Qi would definitely cost less in Heavenly Show Points than creating something from nothing.
