Chapter 231 - 231: She Wants to Meet Me? 1
Of course, fighting barehanded might still be a bit difficult.
So Qin Changqing created two lower-grade treasures for himself.
A spear and a shield.
These two lower-grade treasures were meant for him to use in close combat at crucial moments.
The reason for choosing a spear is that when it comes to body cultivators, the heavier and sharper the weapon, the better.
If it were a sword, it would have to be a very large sword.
The slender swords seen in TV shows would break with just one strike from a powerful body cultivator.
Even the magical treasures of cultivators, even swords, are rarely very long.
Like the Feixian Sword, though it’s a lower-grade treasure, it’s still short and extremely sharp, making it even more powerful.
Long swords are not impossible, but at this stage, being too long could bring about many disadvantages.
One can’t just focus on aesthetics and ignore the drawbacks.
As for the Dayan Sword, it’s also a long sword, but it belongs to the category of large swords.
After breaking through 1000 years of body cultivation, another change occurred: the 1000 years of experience that could previously increase body cultivation by 500 years now only adds 250 years, halved once again.
Even though it was halved, Qin Changqing soon found a benefit.
That is, there’s no bottleneck in his body cultivation realm, and he can continue to add experience.
It should be noted that body cultivators also face bottlenecks.
Now, all Qin Changqing needs to do is add experience.
However, the reduction was significant, so after increasing his body cultivation to 1000 years, Qin Changqing didn’t add any more.
He would wait until he had more experience in the future before increasing it further.
Then, Qin Changqing increased his puppet cultivation to 3000 years and put all the remaining few hundred points of experience into his divine soul.
Which is to say, this time after reaching Nascent Soul Complete, Qin Changqing’s other aspects also experienced substantial growth.
Alchemy, artifact refining, array formations, talisman seals, and puppets all exceeded 3000 years.
His body cultivation realm also reached 1000 years, comparable to an early-stage Nascent Soul body cultivator.
“Next, it’s time to reach the Deifying stage.”
Qin Changqing’s gaze swept across the entire Qin Mansion.
From his current position, both Qin Mansion and the entire Luo City area were within his view.
Luo City was almost becoming an Immortal City, with a significant number of cultivators moving about.
The Qin family’s business has also started to dabble in the cultivation world.
For example, they are involved in the buying and selling of demonic beasts.
After Taixuan Peak was opened, the Sect Leader’s Aunt cleared out all the fourth-order demonic beasts, leading to more cultivators hunting for beasts at
Taixuan Peak.
The business of dealing with demonic beasts has become an entire industry chain.
At this rate, the demonic beasts in Taixuan Peak will be exterminated sooner or later.
This was also part of Qin Changqing’s plan.
Once he removes the Immortal Artifact Fragments from Taixuan Peak, the tens of thousands of miles of Taixuan Peak will become a land rich in spiritual Qi.
By then, Qin Changqing could move the entire Qin family up there.
Deifying!
Upon reaching Nascent Soul Complete, Qin Changqing can now break through to the Deifying stage.
He still doesn’t need to attempt to break into the Deifying stage himself.
Reaching the Golden Elixir stage requires 500 years of cultivation to form a first-grade golden core.
Reaching the Nascent Soul stage required 1000 years of cultivation to form a
top-tier Nascent Soul.
Now, after reaching the Deifying stage, the requirements increased further.
Qin Changqing needs 500-5689 points of God Building energy to break through to the Deifying Stage.
He can break through with just 500 points, but the upper limit is 5689.
5689 points represents the amount of God Building energy Qin Changqing needs to build the strongest Nascent Spirit.
This highest limit is quite high.
“Why isn’t it a whole number?” Qin Changqing wondered.
He soon found out why.
The reason it wasn’t a whole number was because some of the God Building energy was meant to strengthen his divine soul.
Deifying is the process of fusing the Nascent Soul with the divine or spiritual soul to form a Nascent Spirit after reaching Nascent Soul Complete. This is called Deifying.
Just like with Golden Cores and Nascent Souls, there are differences in strength among Nascent Spirits at the same level of Deifying cultivators.
Therefore, the initial strength of a Nascent Spirit depends on two aspects: the Nascent Soul and the divine soul.
Qin Changqing had also strengthened his divine soul, but later, in order to add more techniques, he didn’t over-strengthen it.
Now, the 5689 points of God Building energy include the portion for strengthening his divine soul.
The specific ratio of God Building energy is:The cultivation gained, 1 year of cultivation, is equal to 1 point of Spirit Building energy.
The experience gained, 2 points of experience, is equal to 1 point of Spirit Building energy…
In Spirit Building energy, a minimum of 40% experience is required.
Primordial Spirits and Nascent Souls are not the same, the upper limit of a top-notch Primordial Spirit is very high.
Moreover, soul training is not easy.
The connection between the soul’s training and spiritual roots is not particularly strong.
A genius with a first-grade spiritual root may not necessarily make much more progress in soul training compared to other cultivators.
Of course, a first-grade spiritual root can casually join any Holy Land, and the other party can provide a bunch of elixirs and powerful techniques to enhance the soul, which others cannot compare with.
In Qin Changqing’s view, a Primordial Spirit built with 2000 points of Spirit Building energy is probably extraordinary.
If he accumulates 5689 points, the Primordial Spirit built might really be the strongest in history.
Something like the first-grade golden core, a first-grade spiritual root, can also be built.
But the floating upper limit of Primordial Spirits is much higher.
“Over five thousand points, not difficult.”
Qin Changqing thought.
He didn’t plan to settle for less.
Since he wanted to reach the Deifying stage, he would become the strongest Deifying stage cultivator in history.
For the current Qin Changqing, more than 5,000 points of Spirit Building energy is not too much.
Although there is a rigid requirement for the proportion of experience in this process, experience is probably needed to strengthen the soul.
But Qin Changqing will soon receive a huge reward.
Once the major reward for having over 500 spiritual root descendants arrives, his Spirit Building energy will be full.
Anything extra will still be there after breaking through to the Deifying stage.
Seeing the Deifying stage right in front of him, Qin Changqing’s mood was exceptionally good.
“WU-WU-”
At this moment, Qin Changqing heard a sound like the wind blowing from the sea.
Qin Changqing remembered something and took out Mermaid Bai Ling’s conch.
As expected, the sound came from the conch.
Qin Changqing recalled Bai Ling’s words.
Did she want to see him?
It’s been almost 20 years since he separated from Mermaid Bai Ling.
He wondered how she had been in these 20 years.
Her cultivation must have recovered.
With the resources from the Merman Race’s land, she should be able to fully recover her cultivation in a few months at the earliest or a year at the latest.
She had been waiting for that land for tens of thousands of years.
Perhaps her cultivation could even progress further.
Just the Kuishui beads alone were extraordinary.
Qin Changqing also had half of those beads.
Over the years, after marrying Liu Xinyue, Qin Changqing had her identify a large number of spiritual fruits and objects from the sea.
Liu Xinyue was amazed by them.
He also found some elixir recipes in the Danxin Sect and refined some special elixirs.
These elixirs could help the two sisters grow quickly.
It wouldn’t be too difficult for them to reach the Deifying stage.
The sound was still coming from the conch.
Qin Changqing wondered where Bai Ling was blowing the conch.
Qin Changqing picked up the conch and blew it.
As he blew into it, a miraculous thing happened: Inside the conch, Qin Changqing sensed Bai Ling’s consciousness.
“Bai Ling?”
“Qing, I want to see you.”
Did Bai Ling want to see him?
Qin Changqing thought for a moment and communicated with her through consciousness, “Where shall we meet?”
“You can decide on the location.”
“Do you know Linhai City? Let’s meet near Linhai City.”
Qin Changqing said.
After saying that, Qin Changing asked again, “Have you recovered your strength? There are many cultivators in that city.”
“Alright, let’s meet in that city. I am already nearby.”
Bai Ling replied.
Was she already close by?
