Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 405: Chapter 397: Assault on the Dual Innate Realm_1

“`

By intuition, if he could obtain that Fire Lotus, his fate might change significantly.

Opportunity sometimes presented itself in such a way that, if seized, it was easy to alter one’s destiny.

Originally, if he hadn’t gone all out to buy the Contractual Talisman and tamed a Termite as a pet, he might still be just a poor country boy now, so wretched that even dogs would turn up their noses at him.

It would have been impossible for him to live in a mansion, be a first-rate noble, and marry two stunningly beautiful wives.

Under the Ancient Banyan Tree, Qin Niu was meditating with his eyes closed, cultivating the Medicine King Sutra.

His Cultivation Technique of the Medicine King Sutra had been stuck at the peak of Grade Ten in the Acquired Realm for some time, and his inability to advance to the Innate Realm was causing a hint of impatience in the depths of his heart.

At other times, even if he couldn’t break through to the Innate Realm after a year of cultivation, he would remain indifferent.

But the Water and Land Dharma Assembly was about to begin, and if he missed this opportunity, he would have to wait another ten years.

This was the root of his restlessness.

The Alchemy Stove inside his body was spinning rapidly.

It was an Alchemy Stove condensed from the power of the Medicine King Sutra.

It was round, with three legs, no ears, and no lid.

Its shape wasn’t even stable; as it spun, the shape of its mouth would change.

It felt soft and weak to him, not solid enough.

As Qin Niu continually absorbed medicinal qi from the outside world and transformed it into the power of the Medicine King Sutra, adding it into the Alchemy Stove without cease, the walls of the stove became little by little more substantial.

When his Medicine King Sutra had just advanced to the Acquired Realm, the Alchemy Stove he condensed was very small, and its walls were extremely thin.

After such a long time of cultivation, his cultivation level had risen from Grade One to Grade Ten in the Acquired Realm; the Alchemy Stove had grown nearly thirty times in size, and its walls had become extremely thick.

But its shape was always unstable.

It was like it lacked bones, missing solid support.

His restlessness was causing him to want to advance to the Innate Realm quickly, and the speed of the Alchemy Stove’s rotation was also getting faster and faster.

The faster the Alchemy Stove spun, the quicker it absorbed medicinal qi from the outside world.

He gritted his teeth, fully controlling the Alchemy Stove, making it spin wildly like an unbridled horse.

The Alchemy Stove began to deform violently.

It even started to develop cracks, with a risk of falling apart.

“No, if this continues, it’s very likely to cause the Alchemy Stove to collapse,” he thought.

Qin Niu realized the danger.

He quickly suppressed the restlessness in his heart, knowing that haste would not bring success.

Being too eager could easily lead to deviating from the path and becoming possessed.

At the very least, his cultivation could regress.

Some successful experiences from cultivating the Everlasting Spring Technique helped him at this moment.

The Everlasting Spring Technique emphasized letting things take their natural course, pursuing naturalness, and following the laws of nature.

To avoid the risk of deviating while cultivating the Medicine King Sutra, he tried to relax his heart, no longer eager for quick success but rather taking a natural approach and circulating the Medicine King Sutra for a normal cultivation session.

The once rapidly spinning Alchemy Stove began to slow down to a steady speed.

It also became much more stable and stopped developing ruptures.

He started to cultivate with a quiet determination.

After a while, he noticed some changes in the spinning of the Alchemy Stove.

As its spinning became slower and steadier, energy began to sink bit by bit. Then the three legs seemed to grow sturdier and have a more stable support capacity.

Because the base had become stable.

Qin Niu secretly delighted in this development and continued to refine his technique following this opportunity.

The sense of solidity in the three legs of the Alchemy Stove was further strengthened.

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.”
