Chapter 235: The Special Ability of the Cyan-Xuan Cauldron · Qiankun Refining!
"So, unless necessary, don't use the energy inside the crystal core. Charging it may be troublesome, but of course, if your technique evolves and the energy gathering speed increases, then forget I said anything."
The process of cultivating Dou Qi can, in a sense, be seen as a process where the body gradually adapts to the energy of the world's Dou Qi. It follows the principle of "use it and advance, don't use it and regress." Xiao Yan's cultivation of his false core involves continually "breaking the bucket," allowing his body to adapt to absorbing more Dou Qi and holding more of it. In this process, the vast majority of Dou Qi is used to "polish" Xiao Yan's false core, which can't absorb much on its own.
The more advanced the technique, the more Dou Qi it can absorb, and the more efficiently the false core is polished, thereby increasing the cultivation efficiency.
But charging the crystal core is different. The crystal core doesn't need polishing. A large amount of Dou Qi can be directly injected into it after simple refinement. However, given Xiao Yan's current status as a Four-Star Dou Master and the energy replenishment speed of the Yellow-Class Burning Technique, it will still take a very long time to fill the Fifth-Grade Fire Element Crystal Core.
"One thing to note is that crystal cores have certain evolution potential. You need to use your Dou Qi to slowly refine the core, allowing it to gradually adapt to your energy. As the crystal core evolves, its limit will slowly increase, starting from a One-Star Dou Wang and eventually reaching Nine-Star Dou Wang. I discovered this when refining the Water Element Crystal Core," Jiang Lin shared another piece of knowledge about the crystal cores with Xiao Yan.
The "Five-Grade" of a Fifth-Grade Crystal Core refers to its energy storage limit, but the material itself is a solid Sixth-Grade Magic Core. So, as Xiao Yan refines the Fire Element Crystal Core, the core will gradually take on his form. As he refines it further, the core will unlock its full potential, getting closer to the power of a Sixth-Grade Magic Core.
Many times, Jiang Lin's ratings for his refining are somewhat abstract. If outsiders understand the reasons behind them, they might get confused and think that what Jiang Lin describes as "simple and low-level" is truly simple and low-level.
In the cave, with Jiang Lin's guidance and Xiao Yan's outstanding comprehension, it didn't take long for Xiao Yan to make the first use of the Fire Element Crystal Core. He discovered that the crystal core's effect on his cultivation speed was even more terrifying than the enhancement brought by the Green Lotus Earth Heart Flame's lotus platform!
"Lin Ge! This crystal core is the greatest Dou Qi artifact in the world! My cultivation speed has nearly doubled!" Xiao Yan opened his eyes, filled with lasting shock. The Green Lotus Earth Heart Flame's lotus platform mainly enhanced his mental state, but in terms of Dou Qi cultivation, it couldn't compare to the crystal core's effect! If this were a cultivation world, this wouldn't even be a crystal core! It's clearly a spirit pearl! (Thinking of a cultivation family game where spirit pearls are made from beast cores.)
"It's good to see results," Jiang Lin smiled lightly, nodding. The crystal core technique was something he had innovated from his experience with Dou Crystal technology, based on the refining ideas of pill-forming and mutated into a new technique of his own.
"You should try to refine the core with your own strange fire Dou Qi, and in a few days, you can start to absorb the strange fire and upgrade your technique," Jiang Lin said as he stood up, grabbed the Cyan-Xuan Cauldron, and walked toward the exit. "You continue cultivating. I'll study the Strange Fire Lotus Platform. It needs proper research."
With that, Jiang Lin took the shrunken Cyan-Xuan Cauldron and walked out of the cave, his wings appearing behind him as he took off into the sky. Xiao Yan didn't say anything, instead taking out a Qi Recovery Pill and putting it in his mouth, beginning to cultivate while refining the Fire Element Crystal Core. Xiao Yan increased the absorption ratio of the Fire Element Crystal Core, directing all the Dou Qi absorbed by the Burning Technique toward the core to charge it.
The Dou Qi from the Burning Technique filled Xiao Yan's body during his cultivation, and then was injected into the Fire Element Crystal Core. Before Jiang Lin left, he taught Xiao Yan two ways to charge the crystal core. One was to refine the Dou Qi of the world and quickly inject it into the core. The advantage of this method was speed, but the downside was that the Dou Qi was uncomfortable to use—especially for Xiao Yan, who had extraordinary meridians that could withstand it. However, to speed up the core's refinement, using his own pure Dou Qi for charging was essential.
If Xiao Yan wanted to freely absorb Dou Qi from the crystal core when he needed it, he would need to use his pure Burning Technique Dou Qi for charging.
In the cave, Yao Chen glanced at Jiang Lin's retreating figure, then turned to look at Xiao Yan, who was fully immersed in refining the Fire Element Crystal Core. He slowly exhaled a breath.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed. In a simple cave on the edge of the Tagore Desert, a spirited gray-robed young man with dazzling red-gold eyes sat cross-legged. Energy-colored clouds swirled around him as four-colored flames slowly burned on his body. In his abdomen, an invisible four-colored energy core rotated slowly within him.
If one were to peer into his abdomen, they would witness an incredible sight. A small, exquisite bronze cauldron was slowly burning in a colorless, odorless, and intangible flame. Around the bronze cauldron, two transparent, glass-like spirit pearls, one blue and one green, slowly rotated around the cauldron.
Inside the bronze cauldron, a blue light group shimmered brightly in the endless flames. Mysterious silver patterns were slowly creeping up the outer petals of the blue light group, layer by layer, like mountains upon mountains, mysterious and beautifully splendid.
The silver patterns appearing on the outer petals of the blue light group were identical to the silver patterns on the outside of the bronze cauldron!
Spatial Secret Technique · Qiankun Refining!
The Cyan-Xuan Qiankun Cauldron's built-in spatial ability grants it the Qiankun Refining technique for creating and refining items!
Jiang Lin felt that even Hu Lei might not have discovered this, because if Hu Lei had, then his Sixth-Grade Red Dragon Cauldron would have been refined into the Red Dragon Qiankun Cauldron long ago!
The effect of this ability is to imprint the Qiankun Secret Technique engraved on the Cyan-Xuan Cauldron onto the items created within it!
Jiang Lin realized this ability only after gradually becoming familiar with the Spatial Secret Technique · Qiankun Art. His terrifying red-gold eyes allowed him to finally notice this ability.
The Cyan-Xuan Qiankun Cauldron's ability to shrink the items within the cauldron had already temporarily granted it a Qiankun Secret Technique. Later, Jiang Lin studied it based on the Qiankun technique, and eventually discovered this completely new ability engraved on the Cyan-Xuan Qiankun Cauldron.
For creating and refining items, it imprints the permanent Qiankun Secret Technique!
