Chapter 401 New Uses of the Power of the Health Preservation Technique
Fall in love with reading, starting now.
After Li Ping cultivated the "Myriad Spirits Divine Technique" to its peak, his spiritual sense reached three times that of cultivators of the same level.
And that's the limit.
Because the "Myriad Spirits Divine Technique" only has five incomplete layers.
Li Ping had tried to find other ways to increase his spiritual awareness, but to no avail.
If there really is a Soul-Nourishing Wood for sale, he wouldn't mind spending a lot of money to get his hands on it.
The effect of the Soul-Nourishing Wood on nourishing the divine consciousness is not as immediate as when he cultivates the "Myriad Spirits Divine Technique". Perhaps he will have to carry it with him for a long time for his divine consciousness to grow slowly.
However, Li Ping's lifespan far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators, and as long as the Soul Nourishing Wood is effective, he has enough patience.
Most of the onlookers were Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
As Li Ping walked over, he made no attempt to conceal the aura of a Core Formation stage expert emanating from him. The onlookers sensed this and their expressions changed drastically as they respectfully made way for him.
Before long, he successfully walked to the center of the crowd.
Surrounded by the cultivators was a person dressed in a black robe and wearing a cloak to conceal his appearance.
He was sitting cross-legged behind the stall, and in front of him was a dark black spirit tree that was no more than three inches long.
The black spirit wood was smooth all over, as if it had been carefully polished with sandpaper, and shimmered with a faint luster, as if it wanted to swallow one's soul whole.
After looking down at the entire Soul-Nourishing Wood, Li Pingfang finally understood why so many people were watching the spectacle, yet no one had made a bid.
The roots of this Soul-Nourishing Tree had been cut off by some unknown magical artifact, resulting in the tree losing all its vitality and having virtually no chance of being cultivated again.
More importantly, as far as he knows, the quality of Soul-Nourishing Wood is related to its age.
The Soul-Nourishing Wood currently displayed on the stall is at most a hundred years old, and its quality is only at the second tier.
The soul-nourishing wood of this quality cannot be very effective in nourishing the soul.
It's somewhat useful for Foundation Establishment cultivators, but it's completely useless for Golden Core cultivators and above.
Even if someone wanted to buy it and cultivate it in the sacred land, they would have to consider that the survival rate might be so low as to be almost nonexistent.
As a result, the value of this Soul-Nourishing Wood is naturally greatly reduced.
Thinking of this, Li Ping couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "What a pity."
If the Soul-Nourishing Tree is in its complete state, he wouldn't mind spending spirit stones to buy it.
He has the Gray Island to accelerate the growth of spiritual plants, and it only takes about ten years to cultivate a Soul Nourishing Wood to the age of ten thousand years.
But in the current situation, even if he buys it and puts it in his storage bag, he feels it takes up too much space.
Just as Li Ping was pondering, someone spoke up for him, saying, "Your Soul-Nourishing Wood is so young and can't be cultivated any further. It's just a second-tier material, nothing special."
The others nodded in agreement.
However, a hundred-year-old Soul-Nourishing Wood is still somewhat useful to Foundation Establishment cultivators. Therefore, while some cultivators looked down on it, others inquired about the price.
However, the black-robed cultivator at the stall was asking for an exorbitant price. He coldly said, "This Soul-Nourishing Wood is something I obtained with great effort. I do not accept spirit stones for trade. I only accept second-tier top-grade magic artifacts or pills that are beneficial to late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation."
"Hmph! That's utterly delusional!"
Upon hearing his offer, someone immediately snorted and left.
"Fellow Daoist, this price is far too high. After all, your Soul-Nourishing Wood is severely damaged..."
Some people tried to negotiate the price, but the black-robed cultivator was extremely stubborn and refused to budge on the price offered. He scoffed at the arguments of those who tried to bargain, saying, "Just because you can't cultivate it to life doesn't mean others can't."
The man who made the offer shook his head and left in a huff.
Seeing that this person was so unyielding, the others all shook their heads and left.
Only Li Ping remained standing there, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The black-robed monk's words reminded him.
He cultivated the "Ze Shui Yang Sheng Jue" and absorbed a massive amount of innate spiritual energy during the process of refining elixirs.
Since he established his foundation, he has meticulously cultivated the power of the health preservation techniques for over 170 years, and its therapeutic effects are nothing short of miraculous.
He himself needs no further explanation; he can be described as having an indestructible body.
It is also effective in treating other cultivators and spirit beasts, with almost guaranteed results.
So... can the power of the Nourishing Life Technique cure the spiritual herb?
Would the Life-Nourishing Mantra be effective against a Soul-Nourishing Tree like the one in front of us, which is so badly damaged that it is almost devoid of life?
Having pondered this, he looked at the black-robed cultivator and asked curiously, "So, you're saying this because you've heard somewhere about a way to restore the vitality of spirit trees?"
The black-robed cultivator looked up impatiently, but upon sensing Li Ping's aura, his attitude instantly became respectful.
But when asked about Li Ping's question, he hesitated and said, "I've heard that there is a kind of spiritual liquid called 'Three Lights Divine Water,' which can cure all poisons, heal injuries and diseases, restore flesh and bones, and even bring the dead back to life and restore the vitality of the Soul-Nourishing Wood. It goes without saying that it can do all that."
"The Three Lights Divine Water." Li Ping was speechless.
Such legendary items, who knows if they even exist in the world, how could a Core Formation cultivator like him possibly obtain them?
Even if he were incredibly lucky and actually managed to get his hands on this divine object, he would be practically a fool to use it to restore the vitality of a spirit tree.
The Three Lights Divine Water can be used to refine longevity-enhancing elixirs, potentially adding at least ten thousand years to one's lifespan.
After saying this, the black-robed cultivator realized how absurd it was and awkwardly tried to explain, "Senior..."
"Alright, alright!"
Li Ping waved his hand impatiently, and a bottle of pills landed in front of the black-robed cultivator: "Here is a bottle of Sweet Dew Pills, and I'll take the Soul Nourishing Wood."
Even after verification, it was ultimately discovered that the Nourishing Life Technique could not revive the Soul-Nourishing Wood, and he still didn't take a mere bottle of pills seriously.
But if he successfully revives the Soul-Nourishing Wood, he will have made a huge profit.
……
Inside the training room of the cave dwelling by the river.
Li Ping stared intently at the Soul-Nourishing Wood placed in the jade box before him, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Earlier, amidst the black-robed cultivator's great joy, he exchanged a bottle of Dew Pill for this Soul-Nourishing Wood. After carefully storing the Soul-Nourishing Wood with its damaged roots, he strolled around the market again, but didn't find anything of value.
He then left the black market and went to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion in Lingxiao City to purchase information about the underground auction.
Upon comparison, it was found that what He Chuan said was indeed correct.
The organizers of this underground auction not only have an excellent reputation, but also offer some rare items at each auction.
However, with nearly sixteen years to go before the underground auctions began, he wasn't too concerned about it.
What he was really concerned about now was whether his health preservation techniques could successfully revive the Soul-Nourishing Tree in front of him.
With a slight wave of his hand, the Soul-Nourishing Wood flew out of the jade box and landed in Li Ping's hand. It felt slightly cool to the touch, and what caught people's attention most was the large piece that was abruptly missing from its root.
"Give it a try!"
Li Ping nodded slightly, and a wisp of the Nourishing Life Technique's power flowed into the Soul Nourishing Wood in his hand under his control, attempting to repair its damaged parts.
