Chapter 59: Chapter 59: White Deer Jade Pendant

“This is… the power of a Cultivator…”

Jiang Ming opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of impure air.

The amount and density of True Essence were even less than the Inner Strength at the Acquired Peak before, but the two were as different as steel and cotton.

Next, Jiang Ming looked around, and five Celestial Demon shadows still stood around him.

Just as simulated, the Celestial Demon Heart Devouring Technique could indeed accelerate Jiang Ming’s cultivation.

Jiang Ming looked up at the sky, where a giant ’Golden Buddha’ remained motionless.

With the progress of cultivation, the auxiliary acceleration ability of the Celestial Demon Heart Devouring Technique would gradually weaken, but perhaps because of the fortuitous encounter with Divine Buddha Celestial Demon, Jiang Ming did not feel much of a decline in the acceleration ability of the Celestial Demon Heart Devouring Technique as he broke through.

Jiang Ming was not overly pleased.

There’s no free lunch; he didn’t know whether the Divine Buddha Celestial Demon was good or bad for him.

“I still need power. If I cultivate to the Golden Core Nascent Soul, what are the Divine Buddhas of this world but mere trifles…”

Jiang Ming stood up, and with a thought, three figures appeared before him.

These three were some of the few martial giants of the Innate Jianghu in the Rainbow Kingdom.

Each of the three displayed their martial skills, with Innate power and Qi-Blood enveloping the entire Martial Arts Training Ground, fists, swords, and palms overwhelming.

But Jiang Ming drove martial arts with True Essence, with a strand of silvery-white light emerging on the steel knife in his hand.

The knife light flashed, blood splattered, and the iron sword shattered.

The sharpness of the Demon Slayer Saber driven by True Essence reached an extreme, and no one was a match for Jiang Ming.

A dozen breaths later, the three corpses on the ground, still warm, slowly dissipated into light points.

Jiang Ming was slightly panting.

Most of the True Essence within his body had evaporated, not as effortless as imagined.

Firstly, driving martial arts with True Essence had a very low energy conversion efficiency.

Secondly, Innate Martial Artists could indeed pose some threat to Early-Stage Qi Refining Cultivators, and no wonder they could stir up storms in sect wars with Immortal Magical Artifacts.

These Innate Martial Artists were seasoned figures of the Jianghu, and Jiang Ming had a basic estimate of his abilities.

“Next…”

Next was to practice the Cyan Yuan Skill; the Healing Technique was akin to a universal balm, compatible with any system.

After all, with the Five Spirit Roots, the efficiency of practicing any attribute’s magic is the same.

Jiang Ming took out the Jade Talisman again, continuously trying to cultivate the Cyan Yuan Skill as recorded on the Jade Talisman.

True Essence operated along different True Essence Tracks, transforming into a completely different force in Jiang Ming’s palm…

Two months passed.

Jiang Ming stood in the Martial Arts Practice Field, without hesitation, slicing a cut on his arm.

With a single hand gesture, a green light full of vitality flickered, pressed onto the wound by Jiang Ming.

The wound rapidly healed.

A satisfied smile appeared on Jiang Ming’s face.

After tidying up his clothing, Jiang Ming stepped out of the Cultivation Space with one foot.

However, at the moment of stepping out of the Cultivation Space, Jiang Ming’s expression suddenly changed.

His Divine Sense urgently probed around.

“What is this…”

A faint layer of Divine Sense covered Jiang Ming’s eyes, and in his vision, the surroundings were filled with Spiritual Qi Factors, yet within them were also unknown black factors.

And Jiang Ming instinctively felt repulsed by these black factors.

“This is the impurity in the Spiritual Qi of this world that Li Jin mentioned…”

Jiang Ming recalled what Li Jin had said when he first descended.

Jiang Ming attempted to absorb the Spiritual Qi.

However, the black factors followed the Spiritual Qi Factors into Jiang Ming’s body.

Frowning, Jiang Ming surged his True Essence and locked with Divine Sense, taking some effort to extract these black shadows.

But with that, Jiang Ming’s efficiency in absorbing Spiritual Qi was only about thirty percent of the original.

A flash of contemplation crossed Jiang Ming’s eyes as he attempted to absorb these factors.

“Hmm?”

Jiang Ming paused, finding that the effect of these black factors seemed identical to the Spiritual Qi Factors, as if just a change of appearance.

“No!”

After carefully sensing, half an hour passed.

Jiang Ming finally opened his eyes, with Divine Sense inspecting inwardly, clearly seeing these black factors adhering to his meridians, spreading towards his whole body.

They appeared to enhance his power, but simultaneously, his five major Celestial Demon Incarnations began a slight restlessness, and his tranquil mind seemed to have slight ripples, just undetectable under the daily operation of the Meditation Technique.

These black factors seemed somewhat similar to the Demon Technique, able to enhance power but requiring a price, which was related to the mind.

Jiang Ming immediately expelled all the black factors within his body.

If it were people of this world, even knowing the existence of these black factors, they would likely still accept them.

Because they had no other choice; choosing to remove the black factors meant ultra-low-efficiency cultivation, equivalent to elimination in this world.

But Jiang Ming naturally did not need these with the clean Spiritual Qi in the Cultivation Space.

Jiang Ming tried to cast magic again.

The principle of magic was to use one’s True Essence as the core and to draw external Spiritual Qi as the shell.

The Cyan Yuan Skill cast with mixed black factors showed no anomalies at all.

“That’s strange…”

Jiang Ming touched his chin.

Cultivators explore the truths of heaven and earth, researching all things. If a higher-level Cultivator were here, they might see the essence of these black factors.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ming was just a rookie Cultivator.

Turning his hand over, Jiang Ming revealed an ordinary cloth bag, a storage bag.

After marking it with a Spiritual Mark, Jiang Ming stashed everything related to reality inside, along with provisions, clean water, clothes, and other supplies from the room.

Jiang Ming couldn’t help but stretch lazily.

“Hey…”

A soft sound came from outside.

Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow.

Little White Deer? Didn’t this little deer refuse to enter Evergreen City? Why is it here now?

Opening the door, Little White Deer’s snow-white figure appeared, its slender limbs slightly restless.

Seeing Jiang Ming, Little White Deer finally relaxed.

Approaching Jiang Ming, it placed down an object.

This was a white jade pendant, simply carved in the shape of a White Deer.

“What is this…”

Jiang Ming curiously picked up the jade pendant.

In the next moment, Jiang Ming’s body trembled.

[Detected Non-Absorbable Spirit Points *768.3]

Only then did Jiang Ming see the four words ’Non-Absorbable’ in front of the Spirit Points.

But undoubtedly, this thing must be a treasure.

The White Deer bleated twice at Jiang Ming in the courtyard grass, jumping twice as if performing some action.

Seeing Jiang Ming’s puzzled expression, Little White Deer helplessly shook its head.

It pointed with a bleat at the jade pendant.

Then, bouncing and leaping before Jiang Ming’s widening eyes, it suddenly jumped into a vortex.
