Chapter 405 - Chapter 405: Chapter 397: Assault on the Dual Innate Realm_1 (2/2)

At this point, he noticed the benefit, that the spinning of the Alchemy Stove, although seemingly much slower, was in fact increasing the speed of the absorption of medicinal qi.

“`

Furthermore, the lower base of the Alchemy Stove became thicker, and the entire stove became more stable.

The extent of the mouth’s distortion diminished increasingly.

It seems that cultivating with a serene heart is the true path of cultivation.

The current method of cultivation is the correct one.

About an hour later, the sense of heaviness in the entire Alchemy Stove extended upwards from the three legs, making it feel increasingly substantial and more stable as well.

Its bottom hardly deformed anymore, as if it had acquired a skeleton.

After about two hours of cultivation, Qin Niu felt his head grow dizzy and swollen. He knew that this was due to severe depletion of spiritual power. He could no longer continue to cultivate the Medicine King Sutra.

“What a pity, if I could cultivate for another six hours, perhaps the entire Alchemy Stove would become completely stable. By then, I might also have advanced to the Innate Realm.”

Qin Niu sighed inwardly.

However, he had now adjusted his mindset, so he was able to face it with equanimity.

His heart remained constantly calm and unhurried.

After a short rest, he began to cultivate the Everlasting Spring Technique.

This Life-Nurturing Technique was really good, completely substituting for sleep to help him quickly recover the exhausted spiritual power. At the same time, it also rapidly increased the power of the Everlasting Spring Technique, killing two birds with one stone.

This cultivation session lasted for a full six hours.

He felt strands of cool energy falling on his head, dusk had descended once more; the day had passed so quickly.

In the mountains during cultivation, time was irrelevant.

Under the Ancient Banyan Tree, one could cultivate almost twenty times faster than in the outside world, which made everyone here vie with one another to make the most of every second.

“Stop cultivating, we need to leave.”

While collecting Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, Qin Niu said to the three women.

If he returned tomorrow to cultivate for another day, his Medicine King Sutra should be able to break through to the Innate Realm.

Back at home, Qin Niu saw Wang Wanyan feeding her cat.

The growth rate of this cat was quite slow; it had only barely advanced to Grade Two.

It could defeat a few dogs in the village, and that was all.

“Wan Yan, how is the cat’s training coming along?”

He walked over and observed the cat.

It was just an ordinary house cat, but because it had eaten plenty of Pig King meat, it had made it to Grade Two.

Many Beast Tamers were unwilling to take normal animals as pets for this reason.

Their rate of improvement was simply too slow.

And their potential for growth was very low.

“It’s going alright! I can now communicate with it somewhat; it understands my words, and I can guess its intentions from its meows and actions. However, when commanding it in battle, it does well against the village’s big yellow and big flower dogs. But when facing wild beasts in the mountains, it becomes quite frustrating.

Last time, at the foot of the mountain, just past Xie Laizi’s place, we encountered a snake over three meters long.

My cat ended up being defeated.

When I commanded it to fight the snake, it just wouldn’t listen.”

Wang Wanyan shared her achievements and frustrations during the beast training process.

“Have you ever thought that it might not listen to your commands because its combat ability hasn’t reached your expectations?”

Qin Niu had some experience with insect control and beast training.

After all, he had quite a number of pets by now.

“This… I hadn’t really thought of that.”

Wang Wanyan wore a contemplative expression.

“It seems you are right. It’s also possible that its strength or speed isn’t sufficient. When I instructed it to attack the snake’s vital seven-inch region, it made similar movements, but in the end, its claws only hit the snake’s tail.”
