Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

Chapter 387 No Longer Human, 4th-Order Spirit Flame

Inside the training room of the cave dwelling by the river.

Li Ping was still examining the changes brought about by the third-stage body refinement of the "Nine Tribulations True Spirit Holy Scripture".

In addition to the "Golden Eye of Illusion", increased lifespan, physical strength and defense, the "Avoiding Disasters and Calamities, Changing Form and Appearance" ability that was already present after breaking through to the third level of body refinement also became stronger.

The ability to avoid disaster and calamity is currently impossible to measure.

However, with the original disguise technique, he could only transform into humanoid or similar creatures.

But now... he can become inhuman.

hum!

Suddenly, a burst of golden light erupted in the training room.

Amidst the flashing golden light, Li Ping's figure, who was sitting cross-legged, gradually blurred. When the golden light completely dissipated, Li Ping's figure was gone, replaced by a black giant ape several meters tall.

The giant ape opened its eyes, and a violent, bloodthirsty aura spread out from it, raging wildly throughout the entire training room.

"That's amazing!"

The giant ape raised its hands to its eyes, looking at the arms covered with fine black fur, its eyes filled with amazement.

This giant black ape was naturally a transformation of Li Ping.

Moreover, his transformation was not an illusion or trickery, but a genuine change in form. His flesh, bones, and fur were all real, indistinguishable from a monkey-like monster.

Even the golden core within his body had now transformed into a demonic core emanating a malevolent aura.

Anyone who sees him will have no doubt that the person standing in front of them is a ferocious ape demon!

"It's a pity that the transformation of the Golden Core is fake, otherwise I could use the magic weapon 'Three Yin God-Slaying Sword'. If I could really wield this treasure freely, with its special effect on human cultivators, perhaps even late-stage Core Formation cultivators would not be my match, and Nascent Soul cultivators would be restrained by me!" The giant ape let out a deep sigh.

Just as he lamented, the changes in the Golden Core were actually just a disguise. Once he truly mobilized the energy within the Golden Core, what flowed out was still magical power, not demonic power.

Moreover, the divine soul residing within the Golden Core also resembles him, not the spirit of the giant ape.

The Three Yin God-Slaying Sword is primarily designed to target the souls of human cultivators, so he still cannot use this treasure.

Similarly, he was also unable to use the innate supernatural abilities of the transformed demon beasts.

"However, if the third-level body refinement can have such an effect, perhaps when I push the body refinement to the fourth level, the Nine Tribulations True Spirit Holy Scripture will change along with my soul and magic power. At that time, I will be able to use this forbidden magic weapon freely." The giant ape stroked its chin, pondering slightly.

Although it was a pity that he could not use the evil magic weapon "Three Yin God-Slaying Sword" for the time being, Li Ping was certain that after the transformation, if he did not use magic power and only used physical strength,

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot see through the changes within himself!

Amidst the golden light, the towering Shadowless Ape blurred for a moment, and when it reappeared, it had transformed into a black rat with golden spots on its back—the Earth Spirit Rat.

Next came the Wildfirebird, the Blazing Sunbird, and the Seven-Colored Illusionary Butterfly...

In the end, he transformed back into Li Ping, dressed in a light blue robe, and sat quietly cross-legged.

After inspecting the changes in the third-stage body refinement and being greatly surprised, Li Ping began to ponder his future plans.

Although his cultivation of the Nine Tribulations True Spirit Holy Scripture stopped at the early stage of Core Formation in his second Golden Core cultivation, he was unable to see the cultivation techniques beyond the fourth rank within the blood-red armor. Welcome to the fantasy continent of Xianxia novels, the entrance is here: p>

This also means that his body refinement cultivation can be directly pushed to the peak of the third tier!

Li Ping's plan is to cultivate his Qi in the "Ze Shui Yang Sheng Jue" while also practicing physical cultivation, striving to achieve success in both Qi cultivation and physical refinement.

Of course, he will still focus his cultivation on refining his Qi.

After all, if he can't break through in Qi Refining, he can only cultivate his body to the late Core Formation stage at most before he has to stop.

……

Aside from spiritual practice, everything else is the same.

Cai Baixuan doesn't need his supervision. While continuing to operate, he also collects second-hand magical artifacts. As for alchemy... he no longer engages in cutthroat competition and maintains the same rules as other alchemists.

With the third-stage body refinement complete, the announcement regarding the acquisition of Yang Wood materials can be withdrawn.

In about fifty years, the Yaoji Starwood will reach 100,000 years old and can be used to refine magical artifacts.

Considering the future need to refine his natal magic weapon, the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Banner," Li Ping plans to use Cai Bai Xuan to spread the word and acquire information about banner materials with star attributes or clues about related materials.

He pondered silently, "Furthermore, to refine the Zhou Tian Star Banner, 100,000-year-old Yaoji Star Wood is probably already the limit of this realm. With my mere third-tier mid-grade weapon-refining skills, I probably can't refine such a precious material at all. Therefore, I need to find a way to improve my weapon-refining skills in the next fifty years, preferably to the fourth tier. That should be enough to refine the Zhou Tian Star Banner!"

Thinking of his natal magic weapon, Li Ping's consciousness couldn't help but look towards the tall divine tree planted on Gray Island in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Besides the bare sacred tree itself, the silvery-white spiritual flames attached to it are equally eye-catching!

It was the 'Taiyin Cold Flame' that Li Ping had refined into his natal spirit flame. This spirit flame has the potential to grow. It grew alongside the Starry Divine Tree for tens of thousands of years, and its grade had already reached the fourth rank. It was not far from growing into a mid-grade fourth rank.

The fourth-order natal spirit flame can be used as nourishment for passing on fourth-order alchemy and weapon-forging skills, and it can also be used to destroy enemies!

He had already refined the Taiyin Cold Flame, so he could barely control it to launch an attack.

With this level of spiritual flame, the power of the attack can definitely reach the fourth level, comparable to a strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator!

However, the problem is that Li Ping's magical power is insufficient. If he wants to activate this spiritual flame, he will not only deplete the magical power within his two golden cores, but also consume his own source.

In other words, he only has the strength for one strike. If he fails to kill the enemy after that strike, he will have no choice but to flee for his life.

The fourth-tier spirit flame is Li Ping's trump card and his last resort.

He would only resort to this method as a last resort.

Moreover, once he obtains a high-level alchemy or weapon-refining inheritance, he will divide the fourth-order Taiyin Cold Flame and use it as nourishment.

"Or I could split it up right now. Anyway, whether it's for inheritance or for eliminating enemies, fourth-grade low-level is enough for me. There's no need to cultivate it to a higher level." Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped into Li Ping's mind.

Without hesitation, he waved his hand slightly, and a ball of silver spiritual flame appeared in the void in front of him.

Under his focused control, the ball of silver flame gradually split in the middle, dividing into two balls of spirit flame of the same size.

Both flames are at the peak of the upper-grade third rank. If they are nurtured for another ten thousand years, they may reach the fourth rank.

However, of the two Taiyin Cold Flames, only one was Li Ping's natal spirit flame, while the other was an unclaimed wildfire.
