My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me

Chapter 399 - 245: Second Cocoon Formation and Embryonic Development

"Master, Junior Martial Uncle Zuoqiu Feng has been recalled by the Sect. Another Junior Martial Uncle has been sent to protect you."

Yang Jing paused as he was about to step back into his Quiet Chamber.

"I understand. I will go and pay my respects to this Junior Martial Uncle tomorrow."

The next day, Yang Jing went to meet the Golden Core Cultivator sent from the Sect. This Junior Martial Uncle was a Female Cultivator named Qiu Danqi, a Golden Core from his master’s lineage.

Qiu Danqi knew Yang Jing’s status was extraordinary. As long as he succeeded in his Core Formation, his standing would certainly surpass her own, so she was quite courteous. However, in her words, she would from time to time hint that Yang Jing ought to return to the Sect.

Yang Jing was vague in his response, only saying that he had experienced a moment of enlightenment and was preparing to enter a period of secluded cultivation.

Qiu Danqi couldn’t directly urge Yang Jing to leave, so she had no choice but to stay with him at the Northern Army Governor’s Mansion.

Over the following year, Yang Jing remained in secluded cultivation. He successively refined the Spiritual Objects of the other three Elements into his Magical Power. By refining Celestial Demons, he raised his Cultivation to Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer Perfection.

During this period, aside from instructing his few disciples in their cultivation, he almost never left his residence. His only public appearance, which lasted less than a day, was when he passed on his position as board secretary of the Seven Nations Ticket Shop to the Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator, Yang Jingxu.

After that, he remained within his Quiet Chamber at the Northern Army Governor’s Mansion, never stepping outside.

Time flew by like a fleeting shadow. In the blink of an eye, seven years had passed.

Yang Jing sat cross-legged on a Meditation Cushion in his Quiet Chamber. Because his lifespan was much longer than that of an ordinary Cultivator, the seven years had left no mark on his face. Instead, he had gained an ethereal aura, as if he could ride the clouds and soaring dragons to roam beyond the four seas.

A year ago, his Cultivation had already reached Foundation Establishment Perfection. He had spent the time since then polishing his Magical Power, striving to make it perfectly smooth and flawless.

In his Inner World, the once-crowded Celestial Demons had mostly vanished, all of them having been converted into his Magical Power.

As for his Talents, thanks to Yellow Foot’s astonishing aptitude for the Jade Water Scripture, he had completely shared all of Yellow Foot’s Talents. He had also claimed Yinjiao’s True Dragon Transformation Talent for himself.

His two Overturning Rivers and Seas Talents had merged into one, directly advancing to the Epic level. The True Dragon Transformation and Kunpeng Transformation had also fused, merging with the Cocoon Transformation Talent he had previously obtained from Chi Yu to become a brand-new Epic Divine Technique.

Fetal Transformation.

Although he hadn’t yet explored this Divine Technique in detail, Yang Jing could already sense that it was in no way inferior to the Five Thunders and Five Elements Great Escape he had previously mastered.

What made Yang Jing even happier was that the effect of Cocoon Formation and Embryonic Development—forming a cocoon to enhance one’s Talents—had not disappeared.

As early as three months ago, Yang Jing’s Magical Power had already been polished until it was completely pure, without a single trace of volatility. He could have attempted Core Formation then.

But Yang Jing still waited another three months, just to accumulate enough Blood Qi for his second Cocoon Formation and Embryonic Development.

After eating so many Nine Revolutions Red Blood Pills that the mere sight of a Red Blood Pill made him want to vomit, the Blood Qi in his nine major Acupoints was finally full.

Yang Jing slowly exhaled. ’The amount of Blood Qi required for Cocoon Formation and Embryonic Development is truly astonishing. The second time required nearly thirty-six times more Blood Qi than the first.’

’If not for the endless supply of Celestial Demons, it would have been impossible for me to accumulate enough during the Foundation Establishment Stage.’

’If the Blood Qi needed for the third Cocoon Formation and Embryonic Development also increases thirty-six-fold, it would take at least two hundred years to accumulate at my current pace.’

He completely activated the Restrictions around the Quiet Chamber and stored all his clothes in his Storage Bag before completely clearing his mind. Having experienced it once, he was now quite familiar with the process of Cocoon Formation and Embryonic Development.

Surging Blood Qi erupted from the nine Acupoints that stored it, such as the Blood Sea Acupoint and the Guan Yuan Acupoint, and coursed throughout his entire body.

The next moment, this Blood Qi surged out of his body through the Acupoints that had been opened by his True Yang Body.

Because the amount of stored Blood Qi was so immense, this process lasted for nearly the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The dense Blood Qi condensed into a fragrant blood-red cloud within the Quiet Chamber, from which a vibrant life force radiated.

The snakes, insects, rats, and ants near the mansion immediately grew agitated, rushing madly toward Yang Jing’s Quiet Chamber.

The life force within the blood-red cloud was so potent that it had alarmed them even through the Restrictions.

As someone who also possessed the Cocoon Transformation Talent, Chi Yu immediately realized what was happening.

She immediately channeled her Magical Power to drive away all the small beasts that had been attracted by the Blood Qi.

"Junior Sister, what’s going on?"

Iron Head, Yinjiao, Ji Feng, and Yellow Foot were also alarmed. Yellow Foot’s sensitivity to Blood Qi was even greater than that of the snakes, insects, rats, and ants; he nearly started drooling.

Due to their long lifespans, even after seven years, the appearances of the five of them had barely changed.

Chi Yu glanced at the equally curious Qiu Danqi and was unwilling to elaborate.

"Master has reached a critical juncture in his cultivation."

After Ji Feng reached Foundation Establishment, Chi Yu had diligently pushed herself and also completed her own Foundation Establishment three years ago. Because the Black Death Seven Tribulations Scripture excelled at Magical Combat, she had once again surpassed Ji Feng.

The other disciples nodded. Although they didn’t know about Cocoon Formation and Embryonic Development, they knew their master’s Cultivation had long since reached Foundation Establishment Perfection and that he could attempt Core Formation at any moment.

Inside the Quiet Chamber, the blood-red cloud had transformed into countless strands of blood-red silk, weaving a large cocoon that enveloped Yang Jing within.

Inside the Blood Cocoon, Yang Jing fell into the deepest of slumbers.

The second Cocoon Formation and Embryonic Development took much longer than the first. It wasn’t until seven days later that Yang Jing suddenly opened his eyes.

With a single chop of his hand, he sliced the Blood Cocoon wrapped around him in two.

The dry, brittle Blood Cocoon shattered into a floor full of blood-red silk. The Blood Qi within it had long been exhausted in the process of reconstructing Yang Jing’s body.

Yang Jing got dressed, then condensed clear water into an Ice Mirror. He discovered that compared to his first Cocoon Formation and Embryonic Development, his appearance had barely changed. His aura had even become more restrained.

He sensed his Spirit Roots and found that all five of his Five Elements Spirit Roots had advanced in unison, undergoing a significant change. Although they were still Middle Grade Spirit Roots, they had evolved from the lower end of Middle Grade to the upper end.

This made Yang Jing clench his fists in excitement.

’This isn’t just one Spirit Root evolving to upper-end Middle Grade, but all five evolving together!’

’For a cultivator of the Tai Shi Five Elements True Talisman Scripture, this means the speed of my Magical Power progression will increase by fifty percent. The significance is immense.’

Yang Jing took a deep breath. Through this Cocoon Formation and Embryonic Development, he could also feel that his physical body had become more tightly integrated with the Talents he had obtained from his disciples and Magical Treasures.

Take the True Martial Demon Vibration Power, for example. With a mere thought, he could now imbue his Magical Power and physical body with it, and even infuse it into ordinary objects.

For instance, if an ordinary Wooden Sword was imbued with his True Martial Demon Vibration Power, it would become a Demon-Vanquishing Sword. Its lethality against Celestial Demons would be astonishing.

As for the Five Thunders and the Five Elements Great Escape, he could now use them with the ease of lifting a hand.

Yang Jing had a faint feeling that he could use Earth Escape to leave the Quiet Chamber without triggering any of the Restrictions placed upon it.

This was something he was completely incapable of doing before.

With a twist of his body, he suddenly took on the appearance of Iron Head. Unlike using the Inconstant Illusionary Form Technique or the Nine Illusion Mirage Demon Qi, he had truly transformed his physical flesh into Iron Head’s form.

And unlike the Inconstant Illusionary Form Technique and the Nine Illusion Mirage Demon Qi, which required Magical Power to maintain, his transformation via the Fetal Transformation Divine Technique consumed no Magical Power at all.

Because he shared all of Iron Head’s Talents, he could even transform completely into a Mingyi Dog. Even a Demon Emperor at the Divinity Transformation Realm wouldn’t be able to spot a single flaw.

Yang Jing then transformed into a Flood Dragon, a Five-Colored Kun Chicken, a Profound Yin Blood Mosquito, and a Feathered Whale, each complete with all their Talents and utterly without flaw. He could also easily change into any of these Demons’ lower-tier forms.

He then tried changing into some other Demons he had seen before. For those, he could only replicate their appearance, not their Talents.

Reverting to his original form, Yang Jing slowly let out a breath.

"It’s time for Core Formation."
