Martial Research Master

Chapter 18: CULTIVATING-

Six months passed:

A figure could be seen dashing behind a large black color leopard. This species of a leopard was called the night devil species.

The leopard was a 2nd level demonic beast, but currently, the whole of his body was covered with huge scars, blood dripping out of them. Terror of life could be seen in its eyes.

Earlier that day, the leopard proceeds to the riverside during its hunt, and as it was drinking water, suddenly, a strong smell of blood hit his nose.

Attracted by the smell, the leopard came near the spot and saw a man and a white rhino fighting. White rhino was also a second level beast with an insanely strong defense.

The leopard tried to be the fisherman in these troubled water and attack and devour both of them after they are injured and exhausted from the fight.

The rhino and the human clashed, and both of them were pushed back. It just showed how powerful the body strength of the human was.

.....

.........................................................

He was able to not only contend but even overwhelm the rhino. The clash continued, and as time went by, the rhino sustained more and more injuries.

Even with a beast of such strong defenses as well as Qi being utilized to reinforce the body, the other figure imparted lots of damages on the rhino. The astonishing fact was that the human was not even using any Qi. It was clashing with just body strength.

The rhino, after some time, gradually understood that this is not someone he can defeat and prepared to flee away from this enemy.

The figure saw the fear and hesitation in its eye. The rhino gathers all the Qi he could and taking a step back, and he started barging directly through the enemy line and fleeing for its life.

“So, you want to make one last desperate attempt to flee from the spot by barging through using all your power.”

...............................................................

The figure sighed; this rhino was not his competition at all. It was just too easy and boring.

“Let’s finish it then,” he took a fighting stance for the first time since the fight began, and as the rhino came near to him, he gave a forceful punch directly to the region behind his horn.

The rhino was smashed into the ground, and its head had a massive hole on top.

The corpse then vanished from the spot, as if absorbed by something. The leopard saw the scene and taking a step back, ran away for its life. This was not even an enemy; it was a monster.

” How could I let you go now that you delivered yourself to me? He directly punched through and killed the leopard. “The same scene happened again.

Long Tao collected the corpse and then went inside the Crimson Lord realm.

One could see a massive pile of bodies lying around, and all of them were that of level 2 beasts. If sold in the market, this could make a considerable fortune. Because, when a demonic beast steps into 2nd level, they become capable of gathering and practicing Qi.

It leads to the development of spirituality, and hence they are a crucial resource in the eyes of martial cultivators.

The meat of the beast is highly nutritious, while the bones can be used to make weapons for Qi child stage cultivators.

The blood of this beast was also used by practitioners to concord pills and sometimes used for weird methods of cultivations.

But all of these corpses were utilized by Long Tao for practicing the Blood tempering art.

................................................................

It had been six months since Long Tao started cultivation according to the plan he formulated. Inside the realm, a whole year has passed.

Long Tao’s several figures were practicing their respective duties.

HE chose to use the respective areas to practice and experiment on various kinds of Daos.

In the pill hall, he was first met by the Keeper, who instructed him to undergo a soul test and affinity test first.

........................................................

Upon finding that Long Tao had such a great talent, the overseer’s eyes are shown with bright light.

He instructed that Long Tao was to first read the basic knowledge books about the pill cultivation, various hers and theories, about pill flames and other things.

Initially, Long Tao thought that the knowledge that was to be imparted would be small before the actual pill cultivation begins. But when he saw the primary scripture’s area, he was shocked.

It was to be known that the beginners only need to have some basic knowledge before they could start pill Dao cultivation in the outside world.

But to his shock, Long Tao found that the stacks were enormous, and this was just the introduction.

The main reason behind this was the fact that this was the Ancient crimson lord manor. Its existence was unparalleled in the heavens. Hence their training method would also be extraordinary.

................................................................

After seeing the current soul stage and efficiency of Long Tao, the overseer was amazed by how big the current inheritor of Crimson lord was.

Hence, he decided to impart all of the knowledge present in this pavilion to Long Tao.

One couldn’t even start to imagine how extensive the knowledge was. Even with Long Tao’s capabilities, he still required a whole half-year to complete the entire set.

But Long Tao was satisfied with what he had achieved. The overseer was happy with the result achieved.

...............................................................

He instructed Long Tao to start the pill cultivation from the next day. As he came back, he found that the overseer was standing near a massive door. As he approached, the overseer informed him that this was the Fire training area of their pavilion.

The first step to being able to start pill cultivation is to have talent in fire control, an affinity to wood elements, high soul power, immense willpower, and patience.

As Long Tao practiced the Crimson world formula, he had an affinity with all the elements. When Long Tao stepped into this room, he was hit by a massive wave of heat.

..............................................................

Cultivators can cultivate their life flames only after they reach the Martial Emperor realm, and hence, the Practioner of the pill Dao needs to practice fire control with the help of an external source.

The seen in front of Long Tao was a colossal land of fire. “there are various types of flames present in the world. The first and most basic one was normal flames.

The first step towards pill cultivation was to have control over this elemental flame.

Then comes Beast flames. These are obtained from the cores of beasts who cultivated in fire Dao. It has its own set of rankings.

Next in the line are Earthen flames, which are nurtured in the epicentral regions of the earth where fire particles gather and coagulate to form a fire.

Lastly and the most potent category was the Heavenly Flames, these were natural oddities formed by long years of coagulation of high fire energy.”

..............................................................

“The current Crimson world storage has a vast set of Beast flames, and also have earthen and even Heavenly flames, but you won’t be able to access them until you reach the martial king realm.”

“The throne monitors all the resources, and only when it sees you worthy enough will present to you with flames.” Long Tao listened and began his fire training.

................................................................

In the weapons pavilion as well as the formation halls, the overseer tested Long Tao, and all of them were astonished to find out that the current heir of theirs had a supreme talent in all of the areas.

Long Tao simultaneously started comprehending all the Dao’s.

There was considerable similarity between pill, weapon forging, and formations.

The weapon cultivation and forging required purification of the materials to be forged, and hence the Practioner has to have an affinity to metal and fir attribute.

After comprehending a whole lot of basic knowledge manuals, Long Tao was provided by the first set of forging arts, The hammer formula, and a set of hammers.

But as soon as he tried to lift it, he was taken aback by its weight. It weighed more than a top-class 2nd level demonic beast. He first had to swing the hammer.

...............................................................

Long Tao was then instructed to comprehend the teachings and start drawing formations.

The formation would help him a lot in his path of cultivation. He also needed to practice it to learn about the formation present in Hell-spawn sutra.
