Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 503 - 501 Dragon Vine

"Old hack!"

Ni Cailin was shocked and hurriedly drew out her treasure sword: "You dare to attack me!?"

"You little girl, what are you supposed to be?!"

Li Bin’s spiritual pressure surged tremendously, the dragon’s roar shook the forest, and in the air, a true dragon seemed to slither, completely sealing off all the aura. Under the pressure of the dragon’s majestic presence, Ni Cailin, at the late Golden Core Stage, couldn’t move an inch!

Amidst the dragon’s roar, two sharp claws suddenly appeared from both sides, firmly trapping Ni Cailin in place.

"Old hack!"

Ni Cailin became enraged out of humiliation: "My master will never let you off!"

"Pah!"

Li Bin floated down, raised his hand, and with a "slap", a slap landed on the face of the woman known as Fairy Cailin. A slap from a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator was not so easily endured, and five distinct finger marks immediately appeared.

"How dare you..."

Ni Cailin continued to curse furiously.

"Slap!"

Another slap, and the other side of her face swelled up.

"You..."

"Slap!"

The third slap came down, directly crushing Ni Cailin’s nasal bone, causing her to lose any semblance of her previous immortal presence, and blood started flowing from her nose and mouth, utterly disheveled.

More importantly, a change happened in her eyes, the previous arrogance swept away, being replaced with real fear.

Fairy Cailin realized that Li Bin, the Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, truly might kill her right here, without heeding the Xia Country’s Yun Meng Sect behind her.

"Hmph!"

Li Bin sneered coldly: "If not for seeing the face of Divine Dream Monarch Shen Hong, your master, I would have slapped you to death earlier, how could I tolerate such a haughty useless person barking in front of me?"

"Tha... Thank you, senior, for sparing my life..."

Ni Cailin could let go of her pride, gritting her teeth: "This junior knows her wrongs..."

"To recognise your mistakes and correct them is commendable, very good."

Li Bin indifferently said: "These few days, Fairy Ni should stay as a guest at our Hidden Dragon Sect, once the current affairs conclude, I will have someone send you back to the Xia Country’s Cultivation World."

"In that case, thank you, senior..."

Ni Cailin gritted her teeth, and stood beside Li Bin.

From a distance, Bai Feiyu’s face was full of disbelief, was this the high-minded Sister Ni?

"Fieyu..."

Bai Ying spat out blood, saying: "Return to Wind Snow Tower, let’s go..."

"Yes!"

Bai Feiyu nodded with gritted teeth.

"Wind Snow Tower!"

Unexpectedly, the voice of Li Bin came from behind: "I won’t take today’s incident against you, but you should be clear that from now on you must speak and act carefully, uphold your duty, otherwise I will no longer care about familial clan relations, even if you are my descendants, I will show no mercy!"

"Yes, Ancestor!"

Bai Feiyu, carrying Bai Ying, nodded slowly, then left with a group of Wind Snow Tower disciples.

"Sigh..."

From a distance, within an old tree, Ning Daoran, who was hidden using the Wood Escape technique, sighed.

What a man Li Bin is, handling this balance between the Three Peaks so even-handedly!

But this also reflected a change in Li Bin’s psyche; having acquired the more complete True Dragon Treasure Technique and having retreated whole from a great battle with Independent Practitioner Jianjia, he has grown incredibly confident and is about to adjust the great forces of the Three Peaks.

The adjustment was simple, gradually weaken Wind Snow Tower, Dragon Tail Peak, eventually merging the Three Peaks into one, leaving only Hidden Dragon Sect remaining.

One cannot say it is wrong, only that such an action is hard to agree with, truly contemptible.

...

Returned to Fish-Dragon Square, continued to engage in secluded cultivation.

Ning Daoran tried as much as possible not to be affected by the turmoil of the Three Peaks; this was his critical time for cultivation, diligently cultivating during this key period, solidifying the last foundation of the Golden Core Stage, aiming for a great perfection of the Golden Core, then starting Nascent Soul.

These matters should also be completed within ten or twenty years; it’s urgent yet not to be neglected.

Since he aims to advance to Nascent Soul, naturally he aims for the strongest Nascent Soul Stage in the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World!

Months later.

Li Yinpeng reached perfect Foundation Establishment and decided to undergo Core Formation.

Li Yuantong brought out a top-grade Dust-falling Pill, which cost him a great deal of foundation, but luckily the family base at Dragon Tail Peak was relatively substantial, so it wasn’t too much of an issue.

Li Yinpeng also lived up to expectations, successfully forming her Golden Core a hundred days later, becoming a newly promoted Golden Core of Dragon Tail Peak.

It’s just a pity that since Dragon King Mountain’s Three Peaks was a Nascent Soul force, there were numerous Golden Core Stage cultivators, so Li Yinpeng’€™s Golden Core did not cause too much of a stir.

If a new Golden Core had appeared in Chaotic Sect, that would have been incredible!

...

Ning Daoran devoted himself to cultivation, not concerning himself with external affairs.

Thus, time quickly passed, and another five years went by, now he was 390 years old!

Inside Spirit Garden Cave Heaven.

Ning Daoran slowly woke up, and some changes occurred again inside his Divine Soul World.

During these ten years, he constantly tried to fuse the Eternal Immortal Vine with the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture, and finally had a breakthrough during this secluded cultivation.

Within the long period of immersion and fusion, part of the Eternal Immortal Vine in the Divine Soul World had indeed successfully fused with the Dragon Demon Power!

"Sasha~~"

At the thought, a blood-red Evergreen Seed bloomed, transforming into a blood-red Immortal Vine. This Immortal Vine not only contained the Power of Eternal Green, but it also brimmed with vigorous Blood Qi and surged with Dragon Demon Power, and the Immortal Vine was covered with frightening thorns, clearly not to be trifled with.

After examining it, Ning Daoran already confirmed in his heart.

The Immortal Vine fused with Dragon Demon Power leaned more towards strength and Blood Qi, outstanding in both attack and defense, and was much more powerful than the original Eternal Immortal Vine.

Thus, he named it "Dragon Vine!"

At this moment, the Divine Soul World had already nurtured dozens of Dragon Vines, full of vitality and surging Blood Qi, and they appeared very formidable at a glance.

"So that’s how it is..."

Ning Daoran’s lips slightly curved, this matter pointed him to a new direction.

The Eternal Immortal Vine is a wood attribute primal power that can fuse and evolve with any other type of power. Since it can merge with the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture to form the Dragon Vine, it should be able to merge with other cultivation techniques as well!

Thus, the next step is to try merging a fraction of the Eternal Immortal Vine with the Five Thunder Divine Spell, to see if it can produce a thunder attribute Immortal Vine. If successful, its power would surely surpass the original version of the Five Thunder Divine Spell.

...

"Um..."

Ning Daoran walked out of the cottage full of ambition, with one hand behind his back, walking beside a ridge with an air of immortal charm.

At this time, the fragrance of herbs within the Grotto Heaven was extremely strong, and several Nascent Condensing Elixirs were in bloom.

This year, the previously planted Snow Crystal Begonia, Demon Infant Grass, and Red Sun Ganoderma, three main herbs for Nascent Condensing, had all matured, and the auxiliary herbs for the Nascent Condensing Pills were many years over their recommended age.

It was time for alchemy!

Moreover, Ning Daoran had already practiced with Fourth-tier Elixir such as the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill, and his Alchemy Dao had already reached the Fourth-tier, meeting the requirements for concocting Nascent Condensing Pills.

And he had been researching the recipe for the Nascent Condensing Pill for many years, leaving only the final step!

"Old Lu, Little Bai, prepare for alchemy!"

A shout echoed in the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven.

"Yes, Young Master!"

"Wow-wow~~~"

The two Great Protectors took their places, watching over in front of the cottage.

Ning Daoran opened the Alchemy Room within the cottage, took out the Treasure Tripod, and officially began alchemy!

This time the stakes were high.

The amount of the three Nascent Condensing Holy Medicines he had obtained was not very large, so the margin for error was extremely low. He must succeed in concocting the Nascent Condensing Pills within ten batches, otherwise, he would have no choice but to seek the pills through other costly means.

Of course, he could choose the most tragic way of Nascent Condensing—force the Nascent Soul without any elixir assistance. With Ning Daoran’s Golden Core foundation, it wasn’t impossible to succeed, with at least a 90% chance of success. But who was Ning Daoran to take that 10% risk? Naturally, he preferred using the Nascent Condensing Pill, ensuring the safest and most stabilized breakthrough.

Soon after, wisps of blue smoke rose in the Alchemy Room.

The first batch, failed!

Only a batch of waste residues was obtained!

Ning Daoran frowned, summed up the lessons, and continued alchemy.

The second batch, the third batch... and even the sixth batch, all failed!

"Damn it!"

Ning Someone was frustrated, clutching the alchemy furnace, his hair messed up from the heat, walked around by the Jade Spirit Spring numerous times before he finally calmed his mind and started alchemy again.

His talent in the Alchemy Dao was indeed pitiful!

The seventh batch, failed!

The eighth batch, failed!

Ning Daoran was nearly collapsing; he felt homesick, wishing to return and just scroll through TikTok, play games, and eat at hotpot restaurants—wouldn’t that be happy and beautiful?

Cultivation is really too difficult!

Until the ninth batch, success finally arrived!

Among a pile of waste pills, a glowing genuine Nascent Condensing Pill emitted a dazzling light!

Success!

Having one pill was good enough!

Ning Daoran relaxed a lot, beginning to refine the last batch.

It succeeded as well!

And in the tenth batch, there was a top-grade Nascent Condensing Pill that could increase the Nascent Soul success rate by an additional twenty-five percent!

Stable!

He and Old Lu, one pill each, would both advance to Nascent Soul!

...

Talisman Shop.

It was early spring at this time, bamboo shoots filled the woods, and a heady scent of earthy fragrance permeated the workshop.

Ning Daoran, in a light green robe, walked out of the room with one hand behind his back.

His mood was excellent.

The end of a dark tunnel was now a bright path; the turn of the mountain road was visible!

The matter of Condensing Nascent Soul, stable!

"Seal Master Ning."

Not far away, Li Yinpeng, who had advanced to a Second-Order Mid-Grade Seal Master, approached smilingly: "Finally out of seclusion? This shop has not seen its owner for five years. If you didn’t come out, others might have thought I was the owner of Ning’s Shop."

"Haha, indeed."

Ning Daoran said, "This seclusion was too long, thank you for the hardships, Miss Li!"

"Why should Seal Master Ning be so polite to me?"

Li Yinpeng smiled softly.

But just then, a noisy clamor came from outside. A group of Cultivators dressed in Hidden Dragon Sect disciple attire swept past, followed by some people, seemingly having a dispute.

"What’s going on?"

Ning Daoran frowned and asked.

"Ah..."

Li Yinpeng sighed: "During the time Seal Master Ning was in seclusion, many things happened. The Hidden Dragon Sect finally made a move on Fish-Dragon Square. The Ancestor personally signed the contract document, stating that the land deeds and house deeds of Fish-Dragon Square would be redistributed. But originally, Fish-Dragon Square was owned by our Dragon Tail Peak, and now it has become the property of Dragon Head Peak."

Her eyes reddened: "My father argued several times but to no avail. Now half of the storefronts in Fish-Dragon Square have been transferred to the name of the Hidden Dragon Sect. This is clearly forcing our Li Family’s businesses out of Fish-Dragon Square..."

"Ah?"

Ning Daoran expressed surprise and said: "Miss Li, your lineage is the direct descendant of Li Bin, and you still carry the Li surname. Why would this Li family ancestor be so ruthless to you?"

"Maybe he thinks our branch is incompetent..."

"This old scoundrel, to be so heartless..." Ning Daoran said speechlessly.

"Shush!"

Li Yinpeng was very nervous: "Seal Master Ning, don’t talk recklessly, in case the walls have ears..."

Ning Daoran didn’t care, as his first act after becoming a Nascent Soul would be to deal with Li Bin; it wouldn’t be many years now.
