Chapter 69: Chapter 64 Ant Wari

Translator: 549690339

Upon arriving at the trunk of the Ancient Banyan Tree, Qin Niu didn’t bother with pleasantries, he chopped with his knife and the blade sank nearly three inches deep into the wood.

The dark green Banyan Tree Blood immediately began to flow out.

lie took out a large jar to collect the blood.

To harvest three to five jars of it would leave him worry-free for at least a couple of months.

The flow of the Banyan Tree Blood was initially fast but gradually slowed down. The tree had a strong self-healing ability, and its wounds were rapidly healing.

Qin Niu forcefully chopped several times, enlarging the gash on the body of the tree and cleverly creating a vertical channel to ensure the tree blood flowed smoothly into the jar.

After filling one jar, he didn’t stop. He made several similar cuts in different directions, enough for five large jars to collect blood.

The Ancient Banyan Tree’s heart must be on the verge of collapse.

But it was merely a plant and seemed not to have awakened any spiritual intelligence, so it had no response to this human’s greedy exploitation and extraction.

lie estimated that filling five jars with blood would take quite some time.

He began to sit cross-legged under the tree to cultivate.

One truly needed a strong mental fortitude to remain as calm as he did.

With the activation of the Everlasting Spring Technique, he once again experienced the long-lost ultra-fast cultivation speed.

It was a whole twenty times faster than the outside world.

Cool energy was omnipresent, entering into his body from all around through his pores and orifices.

The most common path of cultivation was to absorb the purple qi at dawn and to swallow rosy clouds at dusk.

In simple terms, it was ail about using a daily breathing practice or other alternative methods to absorb the energy of the universe. As long as one could integrate this energy into the body and convert it into personal strength, it could be deemed cultivation.

There are mainly three or four methods to absorb external energy. One is through the pores. Another is direct inhalation through the nostrils, which is also the most common mainstream method of cultivation.

Some people absorb energy through the Baihui acupoint on the top of their heads. This is often seen in the rites of empowerment and transmitting skills.

Because it’s somewhat akin to spoiling a child by boosting their growth prematurely, rapidly increasing the recipient’s cultivation level at the expense of the transmitter’s own power, it has always been considered an evil cultivation method.

There is also the method of intake through eating.

Such as consuming various Spirit Fruits, Spiritual Medicine, or other heaven-sent treasures.

Besides, there are several non-mainstream methods, such as embryonic breathing through the umbilicus to absorb external energy.

Medicinal baths are another method, where one soaks in a medicinal liquid to absorb the energy within the liquid through the skin.

This principle is somewhat similar to absorbing through the pores.

So far, Qin Niu had discovered only one method of cultivation, which was through absorbing external energy via the pores.

Without a teacher’s guidance, that he could figure out and understand this method of cultivation on his own was quite impressive.

In the outside world, he could only absorb the energy of moonlight.

Moreover, only the parts of his body that were exposed to the moonlight could obtain the moonlight energy.

Under this Ancient Banyan Tree, it was as if he was soaked in the ocean of energy formed by moonlight.

Energy could be absorbed through all the pores of his body.

And the energy here was many times denser than the scant energy brought by moonlight.

This was also the reason he could achieve a twentyfold increase in cultivation speed.

At this moment, his cultivation level began to soar rapidly.

Time passed bit by bit, and Qin Niu’s cultivation gradually approached the peak of the mundane Onefold Realm.

He was just about to gather his energy and breakthrough to the mundane Twofold Realm.

Then, an imperceptibly cold energy descended like a fine drizzle.

He instinctively sensed a trace of unease.

He immediately became alert.

Only then did he remember that he was still under the Ancient Banyan Tree, in a dangerous place.

He opened his eyes and looked up at the canopy, and sure enough, it had pressed down a little, just as he expected.

It seemed the sun must have set in the outside world.

Qin Niu quickly got up, collected the five jars.

They weren’t full.

The one with the most in it had only about half a jar.

Put together, it should be a little more than one large jar.

That was still acceptable.

He slung the jars on his back and had Fourth lead the way, hurriedly heading out.
