Chapter 23: Blood Ganoderma
In mid-to-late July, Magic City was already exceptionally scorching hot, with outdoor temperatures approaching forty degrees Celsius.
The Jinshan Villa District, located in the suburbs of Magic City, had beautiful scenery with lush greenery, and the temperature was somewhat more moderate.
This was precisely why the Jinshan Villa District was classified as an affluent area—warm in winter and cool in summer, offering excellent living conditions.
In the meditation room of Villa 66, Su Yuan let out a gentle sigh and slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, Su Yuan had complete control over his body. When he closed his eyes, he could 'see' the subtle movements of his internal organs and the surging flow of his blood...
This ability was called 'inner vision,' a technique that only Embracing Elixir Grandmasters could master.
And Su Yuan... although not an Embracing Elixir Grandmaster, because his cultivation method was the six-dimensional cultivation method, his life evolution was superior to martial artists at the same stage.
Even without transforming into a Level 1 lifeform, he had naturally mastered this 'inner vision' ability.
"Embracing Elixir Grandmaster..."
Su Yuan's thoughts were calm. He had now completed fourteen cultivation sessions, only one away from the fifteen sessions set by the gray mirror.In other words, Su Yuan only needed to complete one final cultivation session to completely transform into a Level 1 lifeform, becoming an Embracing Elixir Grandmaster in Xia Country's cultivation world.
In fact, the Level 1 lifeform Su Yuan was transforming into was superior to an Embracing Elixir Grandmaster in every aspect.
"Once achieved, Xia Country's Embracing Elixir Grandmasters have their vital energy, blood, and spirit condensed like an elixir. From then on, their essence doesn't leak, they become immune to all diseases, and can easily live to 120 years old," Su Yuan thought to himself.
As for Visible Force and Hidden Force before Embracing Elixir?
Martial arts cultivation methods gained strength by squeezing the body's potential. Before reaching Transforming Force, practitioners actually had shorter lifespans than ordinary people.
Some Hidden Force masters who had been through countless battles couldn't even live to sixty years old.
Only by cultivating to Transforming Force could one slightly use their force to regulate the body, thus living to eighty or ninety years old. But even then, it was still within the range of an ordinary person's lifespan.
Only Embracing Elixir Grandmasters represented the pinnacle achievement of martial arts cultivation methods, nourishing themselves in return and completely compensating for all the previous exploitation, with vital energy, blood, and spirit condensed into a perfect circle.
"No wonder there are so few Embracing Elixir Grandmasters in Xia Country. The gap that Transforming Force Grandmasters need to cross to break through to the Embracing Elixir Grandmaster level is simply too vast," Su Yuan thought privately.
According to the fifteen cultivation sessions the gray mirror had planned for him, Su Yuan had already reached the perfection stage of Transforming Force in martial arts cultivation methods by his tenth session alone.
The subsequent four or five sessions were all about continuously approaching the Level 1 lifeform state.
By the time he reached the fourteenth cultivation session, Su Yuan was already very close to becoming a Level 1 lifeform.
Under these circumstances, proceeding with the fifteenth cultivation session to achieve life transformation and evolution, stepping into Level 1 lifeform, was completely natural.
But martial arts cultivation methods? Going from the perfection stage of Transforming Force to Embracing Elixir Grandmaster was like a carp leaping over the dragon gate—taking too big a step made it easy to fall.
Therefore, in martial arts cultivation methods, the probability of breaking through from Transforming Force to Embracing Elixir was extremely low.
Actually, it wasn't just Xia Country's cultivation methods.
Other cultivation methods on Blue Star were pretty much the same.
When crossing into the Level 1 life level, everyone faced significant risks—it completely depended on whether their life was tough enough.
"This is the advantage of the six-dimensional cultivation method..."
Su Yuan sighed inwardly. By cultivating this method, he would encounter almost no bottlenecks in the early stages.
And having no bottlenecks was just one of the advantages of the six-dimensional cultivation method.
There were many other advantages as well.
Such as lifespan.
"Embracing Elixir Grandmasters have a lifespan of about one hundred twenty to thirty years. After that, their bodies rapidly decay, and no matter how strong their spirit is, it's useless."
"But if I transform into a Level 1 lifeform, my lifespan starts at five hundred years."
A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face. Five hundred years of life? That was equivalent to the duration of two feudal dynasties in ancient Xia Country.
And this was just Level 1 lifeform. When he reached Level 2 lifeform, Level 3 lifeform... the increased lifespan would only be greater.
......
Collecting his thoughts, Su Yuan looked at the gray mirror.
After pondering for a moment, he still asked: "What's my current ranking in Magic City in terms of strength?"
Since he had just completed his fourteenth cultivation session and his strength had improved again, he was making his routine inquiry.
The gray mirror surface swirled with haziness, revealing an answer.
[11th place]
Looking at the answer provided by the gray mirror, Su Yuan nodded slightly.
With his current strength, even without extensive practical combat experience, he could be considered nearly invincible among Transforming Force practitioners, relying on the direct suppression of his life level.
The reason he said 'nearly' was because there were some Grandmasters at the perfection stage of Transforming Force who had participated in human modification experiments and significantly boosted their strength.
Although this approach relied on external forces, it still counted as part of their own strength.
"Practical combat experience..."
A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face.
During this period, aside from normal cultivation and study, his practical combat experience had also improved rapidly.
As for how he improved it? By watching numerous videos of fierce battles between powerful experts.
Merely improving one's practical combat experience by watching videos of powerful fighters battling required extremely high comprehension ability to achieve.
And Su Yuan's comprehension ability was definitely not low. Comprehension was also one of the six dimensions of life evolution. During this period, as Su Yuan cultivated, his own comprehension ability had been continuously improving.
"What's my current ranking in Magic City for hacking skills?"
Su Yuan continued to inquire.
As he continued to cultivate, Su Yuan's learning ability grew stronger and stronger. His improvement in hacking skills had even surpassed that in the field of life evolution.
[23rd place]
The gray mirror provided the answer.
"Not bad."
Su Yuan was in a good mood.
Strength ranking: 11th place.
Hacking skills ranking: 23rd place.
In the vast Magic City, he was absolutely unique.
Those stronger than him in combat definitely weren't as skilled in hacking as he was.
Those more skilled than him in hacking wouldn't be stronger than him in combat.
......
"Next, I should prepare for the fifteenth cultivation session to cross into Level 1 lifeform."
Su Yuan composed himself, his expression turning slightly serious.
Ever since obtaining the Tianshan snow lotus six days ago—the best external aid for breaking through to Level 1 lifeform—Su Yuan's requirements for his own breakthrough to Level 1 lifeform had naturally become higher.
He planned to replace all the external aids assisting his breakthrough with the best items of the same level as the Tianshan snow lotus.
Su Yuan's cultivation method could drive evolution in the six dimensions of life: body, soul, will, wisdom, comprehension, and potential.
The Tianshan snow lotus could drive evolution in three aspects: body, soul, and potential.
As for the remaining three aspects of evolution—will, wisdom, and comprehension—Su Yuan had made corresponding arrangements.
Four days ago, Su Yuan went to the suburbs of Magic City and spent most of the day digging deep underground, where he found a drop of hundred-year earth milk.
This drop of hundred-year earth milk was one of the best external aids for promoting the evolution of 'wisdom.'
"Blood lingzhi..."
Su Yuan's expression shifted slightly.
Blood lingzhi was the best external aid for promoting the evolution of the final two dimensions.
It was also what the gray mirror had indicated as the most suitable external aid choice for Su Yuan's transformation into a Level 1 lifeform.
