Chapter 49: Heavenly Punishment and Righteous Yang Formula (Part 2)

  Lin Tianyang took the jade slip and somewhat suspiciously sank his divine sense into it, soon seeing the cultivation method called "Tian Fa Zheng Yang Jue".

  Lin Tianyang looked at it for a full two hours before exiting the Jade Scroll, then silently pondered for a moment before saying to Tongtian Old Dao: "Daozhang, this cultivation method may only have the first layer, but in terms of its power after being cultivated, it's indeed not bad. However, this cultivation method has extremely high requirements for the cultivator's body. If one doesn't cultivate a body-refining technique at the same time during the Golden Dan period, it's likely that their cultivation will be difficult to continue improving. And after the Yuan Ying stage, the requirements for the body become increasingly strict, with each step forward requiring several times more effort than an ordinary cultivator!"

  "Lin Tianyang, are you saying that you don't want it anymore?" Tongtian Daozhang sighed with some regret.

  Lin Tianyang smiled and said: "No, the things in Daozhang's hands are all extremely special, but there has never been a fake. I want this 'Tian Gan Zheng Yang Jue'!"

  "Alright, Lin Tianyang, you have the aura for this. The Tower of Reaching Heaven hasn't chosen the wrong person after all. This cultivation method will be left in your hands then. Before you reach the middle stage of advancement, try to accumulate as many spirit stones as possible. The second layer of the technique requires 100,000 spirit stones, and the third layer is 200,000." The Tower Master said with great satisfaction.

  It's just the three-layered foundation-building method, which adds up to 3.5 million spirit stones. This many spirit stones are enough to buy a complete cultivation method from any sect that can cultivate to the Yuan Ying period. However, Lin Tianyang knew that the more precious something was in Tongtian Lao Dao's hands, the less simple it definitely was.

  After exchanging 50,000 spiritual stones for the cultivation method, Lin Tianyang was no longer anxious and held the Heavenly Command to enter the Heavenly Tower first.

  This time appearing in Tongtian Tower, Lin Tianyang found himself once again standing on a scorching hot barren plain.

  This time, seeing a completely different place again, Lin Tianyang no longer had the surprise he had before. After taking out his magic tool, he carefully searched around on this desolate plain.

  After twelve double hours, Lin Tianyang transmitted out of the Tongtian Tower without resting again and paid 4,000 spiritual stones to purchase the Tongtian Order before re-entering the tower.

  After twelve hours, Lin Tianyang spent 4,000 spirit stones for the third time and finally left the Tower of Reaching Heaven.

  Three times entering the Tongtian Tower, Lin Tianyang only sought to kill second-level or higher demon beasts. Although the harvest was smaller, the things he obtained were mostly what he needed. Moreover, fighting with second-level demon beasts helped his cultivation reach the foundation period. Especially during the third time, he encountered a third-level demon beast, the Gale Eagle. Lin Tianyang cleverly killed it without using the Bronze Bell Mirror, not only gaining significant exercise but also obtaining a Forbidden Symbol.

  This broken seal symbol is a special seal that can break through seals, refined by the master of the Yuan Ying period and above. At critical moments, it can help oneself escape from trouble.

  After leaving Tongtian Tower, Lin Tianyang directly meditated for three days and three nights, carefully experiencing what he had gone through in Tongtian Tower. Only then did he take out the first layer of the Heavenly Punishing True Yang Manual and study it thoroughly.

  Lin Tianyang had been reading for half a month, and whenever he encountered something he didn't understand, he would go ask the Tongtian Daoist. Although it cost him 100 spirit stones each time, Lin Tianyang felt that it was worth it since the Daoist could always clarify his doubts.

  Half a month later, Lin Tianyang felt that he had fully understood this first layer of Gongfa, and began to cultivate.

  This "Tian Jue Zheng Yang" Lin Tianyang, although did not get the second and third layers, but based on the first layer speculation, the key to the first three layers is the triple transformation of spiritual power. Simply put, it is to cultivate the law power to the peak of this realm, and then not break through this realm, but instead use a secret method to compress the spiritual power once, and then disperse most of the law power. When re-cultivating back, the accumulated law power will increase by 20% compared to the first time. After repeating this process during the middle and late stages of foundation building, when entering the false Dan realm, the law power will be much more condensed than that of ordinary late-stage foundation-building cultivators, although not as good as true Golden Dan stage cultivators. However, among foundation-building cultivators, it is already a rare match, and the chances of condensing the Golden Dan are also 20% higher than usual.

  The first layer of Gongfa, apart from compressing Lingli and dispersing Fa Li at the critical point, mainly accumulates Lingli. This is also why Lin Tianyang will enter Tongtian Tower before he truly starts practicing Gongfa, wanting to quickly improve his cultivation in a short period of time, a large amount of Dan medicine is indispensable.

  The foundation-building period cultivators have more precious elixirs for advancing their cultivation compared to the qi-refining period cultivators.

  Even Lei Yan Zong probably only those core disciples can get enough elixir supply. Like Leng Yue, she takes a cultivation-promoting elixir every ten days, which is already very rare in Lei Yan Zong.

  Lin Tianyang learned from Leng Yue that with her two-spirit root talent, when she was in the initial stage of foundation building, she took one Bi Ling Dan every ten days and broke through to the middle stage after six years. Now that he has done his best to take it three times a day, he hopes not to need too much time.

  Spring has gone and autumn has come, two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

  For ordinary people, the old king of Leiyan Country passed away two years ago and a new king took over, it seems that the country has a new atmosphere. But for the cultivators in Qingxu Temple, the change of monarchs among mortals is irrelevant to themselves, and even more so for Lin Tianyang.

  For the past two years, even after the news of Yun's disappearance spread, the Yun family did not send anyone to disturb him again. Lin Tianyang devoted himself to cultivation, increasing his magical powers by more than double compared to before. Although he was still some distance from his initial peak, he had made significant progress compared to when he first started. During these two years, he entered the fourth floor of the Tongtian Tower multiple times, killing many second-level demon beasts and even beheading several third-level ones. He obtained three bottles of Hundred-Year Spiritual Milk, totaling thirty drops, a complete set of Yin-Yang Thunderfire Array, and a mid-stage foundation-building leopard-type mechanical puppet beast. Although these items were not bad, unfortunately, there was no reappearance of life-saving treasures like the Substitute Puppet.

  Lin Tianyang felt that the substitute doll was much more precious than what he had obtained later, this might be related to him transcending a major boundary when killing the second-level demon beast, if he were to kill a fifth-level demon beast on the sixth floor of Tongtian Tower, he believed that what he would obtain should be even better.

  Apart from himself, 'Xiao Cai' had also broken through to a third-grade Yao beast, which was related to Lin Tianyang's multiple trips to Yunwu Mountain's market.

  Ever since 'Little Color' swallowed the inner dan of the ink python, his cultivation suddenly rose by a large margin. Lin Tianyang came to Yunwu Mountain's market several times and found Yue Ling to buy snake and python-type demon beast inner dans from her. Over the past two years, he spent over 30,000 spirit stones, buying more than ten second-grade demon beast inner dans, five third-grade demon beast inner dans, and one fourth-grade demon beast inner dan. Only then did 'Little Color' break through again after consuming a fourth-grade demon beast inner dan.

  Seeing 'Little Cai' break through two boundaries in a short period of time, Lin Tianyang was afraid that her boundary would not be stable, so he temporarily stopped supplying her with inner elixir.
