While cultivating the Blossoms and Halfs was obviously accounting for points, Ning Cheng was calculating in his heart that if he wanted to cultivate the Blossoms and Halfs in the first place, there was probably only one way to do it, and that was to use the Five Elements Chaos Qi.
However, the value of the Five Elements Chaos Qi far exceeded that of the Blossoms and Halfs, even if he got first place, those rewards would not necessarily be more precious than the Five Elements Chaos Qi. What’s more, the blossoms cultivated with the Five Elements Chaos Qi must contain a trace of Chaos Origin Qi, and even if they were refined into pills, the strongest would still be able to feel it. With such a disproportionate amount of reward and effort, Ning Cheng directly dismissed the idea of using the Five Elements Chaos Qi.
If he did not use the Five Elements Chaos Qi, he would have to use other methods, otherwise, after a month had passed, he was afraid that he would not even be able to cultivate the Blossoming Half-Existence Dao Fruit.
Ning Cheng took out a dozen Wood Origin Crystals and incorporated them into the clay pot of the Azure Flower Half Emergence. Although Wood Origin Crystals were considered precious, they were still far from being comparable to the Five Elements Chaos Qi. He happened to have quite a few of these things left.
Sure enough, after incorporating the Wood Origin Crystal, Ning Cheng’s Blossoms Half-Existence grew much faster. Together with the incorporation of Ning Cheng’s Dao Rhythm Rules, twenty days later, Ning Cheng’s Blossoming Blossom Half-Existence had finally grown to about one meter as well.
The blossom half-appearance had five leaves of different colours, and when it grew to one metre, a five-coloured + flower appeared at its top.
Under the cultivation of the various attribute rule dao rhythms that Ning Cheng had infiltrated, the five-coloured flower was even more vibrant. The name of the blossoming half-appearing flower manifested itself at this time, as this five-coloured flower only bloomed halfway and did not continue to bloom, even if it was even more vibrant.
At this moment, Ning Cheng did not have the energy to watch other people’s blossoms and half-blooms, the blossoms and half-blooms were about to bear fruit, requiring him to control the rules of the attributes absorbed by the blossoms and half-blooms fruit more carefully. There was no room for sloppiness.
Ninety percent of Ning Cheng’s attention was focused on the Blossoms. The auxiliary divine spirit herbs for the Heaven and Earth Blossom Pill had long been prepared and piled up on the side. The furnace had also long been put out. He was only waiting for the blossoms to ripen, and was ready to open the furnace to make the pills.
As another three days passed, Ning Cheng felt that something was wrong. His blossoms seemed to be going from their most vibrant colour to their legs, and the blossoms did not even look like they were bearing dao fruits.
Ning Cheng’s gaze swept out, only to find that there were several dan masters whose blossoms were the size of a small child’s fist. There were also two dan masters that had opened their furnaces to refine pills.
No, there was something wrong with his cultivation. Ning Cheng once again thought back to the few short sentences of the cultivation of the Blossoms and Half-appearances in the Yu Zhi grass and trees, Blossoms and Half-appearances. Absorb the rules of the attributes of heaven and earth, condense the dao rhyme, melt the yin and yang, and you can obtain the blossom half-appearing fruit ……
He should not have made any mistakes in the cultivation process except for adding the wood origin crystal. Ning Cheng suddenly thought above the fusion of yin and yang, as winter turned to spring, everything revived, flowers bloomed all over the ground, and bees and butterflies were busy.
Ning Cheng almost had to slap his head, he had overlooked the fact that solitary yin could not be born and solitary yang could not grow. It would be strange to be able to cultivate dao fruits. Any flower that wanted to bear fruit would need bees to transmit pollen. This Dao fruit does not need bees to transmit pollen, though. The reasoning behind it is the same.
Ning Cheng immediately began to integrate the five elemental attribute rule dao rhymes from heaven and earth and sent them into the half-existing flower.
In a short period of time, the flower transformed into a green fruit. A Dao rhythm aura lingered around the outside of the green fruit, and the five leaves of different colours growing under the blossom’s half-appearance gradually withered and disappeared.
In just a day’s time, all that remained at the top of the one metre high blossom was a colourful Dao fruit. Dao rhythm flowed through it, and a faint fragrance of Dao rhythm came from it.
Ning Cheng took a breath and raised his hand and offered up the nameless flame, the blossoming half-appearing Dao fruit was about to ripen, he wanted to send this Dao fruit into the dan furnace the moment the blossoming half-appearing Dao fruit ripened, leaving behind the Dao rhyme of the Dao fruit attribute rules.
With a “click”, the one metre high Blossoming Half-Heart fruit tree snapped and the Blossoming Half-Heart fell from the air. Ning Cheng did not even wait for this Dao fruit to fall to the ground, and with a roll of his hand, this Dao fruit entered the furnace. At the same time, nameless flames flared up beneath the furnace, flames like snowflakes in the midst of the forbidden system, a beautiful sight.
The blossoming half-appearing dao fruit began to melt, and the five element attribute rules changed again in this instant, deriving the wind attribute, then the thunder attribute, and then the ice attribute ……
During this moment when Ning Cheng was slightly dazed, the time attribute and space attribute all extended out.
Ning Cheng was greatly anxious in his heart, the more blip rule attributes were derived, the more difficult it would be for him to control them. He hurriedly threw the rest of the divine spirit grass into the dan furnace and quickly melted it, while the dan skill sent out the attribute rules that wrapped around the blossoming half present dao fruit.
Time slowly passed, and at this time, the dan masters who were qualified to refine the Heaven and Earth Blossom Pill were all concentrating on refining the pills, and those who were not capable of refining the pills had long since failed to cultivate them.
As an hour passed, Ning Cheng’s Dan Skill directly threw out the residue and began to incorporate the attribute rules of the Blossoming Half-appearing Dao Fruit.
Ning Cheng had refined the Six Yin Soul Pill and had sensed the fit between the Dao of Dan and his own Dao in the midst of refining the Six Yin Soul Pill. He had incorporated the Dao of Dan into the Dao of Returning to One, thus bringing his Dao perception to a higher level, as well as giving himself a more thorough understanding of the Dao of Dan.
At this point in time, when he incorporated the various attribute rule dao rhythms of the Blossoming Half-appearing Dao Fruit, this perception finally had a place to use. The five elemental attribute rule dao rhymes were successfully incorporated into the Dao Dan by Ning Cheng. If it were an ordinary dan refiner, the Heaven and Earth Blossom Dan that had incorporated the five elemental attribute rule dao rhymes would have been considered a great success.
Ning Cheng didn’t stop there, his Blossom Half-Existence Dao Fruits still had the Wind, Thunder and Ice rule attributes, and had even derived the Time and Space attributes.
Unfortunately, Ning Cheng’s comprehension of the wind attribute rules was not thorough and he missed when incorporating the wind attribute dao fruit rules, but this did not affect the thunder and ice attributes being incorporated into Ning Cheng’s dao pill. Even so, Ning Cheng still did not give up, he once again incorporated the Dao Rhythm of the Space Rule and the Dao Rhythm of the Time Rule of the Blossom Dao Fruit, even if there was only a trace of this Dao Rhythm, it was still a competitive capital.
Because of Ning Cheng’s timely control of the Blossoming Half-Existence Dao Fruit, almost all of the Dao Rhymes of the Dao Fruit rules derived from the Blossoming Half-Existence, except for the Wind Attribute Dao Rhyme, were incorporated into the Dao Dan by Ning Cheng.
The most important and difficult point in refining a Dao Pill was the incorporation of the Dao Rhythm of the Dao Fruits. The Dao Fruit of Blossoms and Half-Realisation was different from other Dao Fruits in that it was a Dao Fruit that was capable of infinitely expanding its Dao Rhyme. Similarly for an exceptional Heaven and Earth Blossom Dao Pill, there is also a distinction between high and low. This distinction is that whichever Dao Dan incorporates more of the Dao Fruit attribute’s Dao Rhyme, that Dao Dan is worth more.
This Dao Pill of Ning Cheng’s was infused with nine Dao fruit rule dao rhythms, so it could be considered the pinnacle of Heaven and Earth Blossom Pills.
After a few days to incorporate these nine dao rhythms into the Dao Dan, the steps that followed were hardly challenging for Ning Cheng. After another hour, Ning Cheng raised his hand and collected the twelve Dao Pills.
After finishing refining this Furnace Heaven and Earth Blossom Pill, Ning Cheng then had time to look at the others.
Ning Cheng was slightly surprised to find that he was almost at the end of the entire assessment giant altar. Apart from him, only two other people were still refining pills. Most of the dan masters, were sitting quietly in their positions. Some had Dao Dan jade bottles beside them, while others did not. For those who did not have jade bottles, Ning Cheng reckoned that they were Dan Masters who had failed to refine pills.
Ning Cheng did not panic and put away all his belongings, and also sat in his position, waiting for the time to end the second round to arrive.
Seeing Ning Cheng finally finish refining his pills in time for the month to expire, those who were familiar with Ning Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. Even though Lu Dong Ce did not care that he had lost at the hands of Ning Cheng, however, if Ning Cheng had not even finished the second round, he would have felt a little humiliated. What would that mean, it would only mean that he, Lu Dong Ce, was no good either.
As the last hour passed, Kong Lianbo landed on top of the giant altar and said aloud, “The second round of the Dan Competition is over, please ask all the Dan Masters to stop refining.”
Just as his words fell, one of the dan masters pulled several pills out of the furnace into a jade bottle while stopping his movements. The other dan master who was still refining pills had a cloud of smoke burst out of his furnace, clearly failing in his refinement.
Seeing that all the dan masters had stopped refining, Kong Lianbo nodded and said, “As a dan master, apart from natural talent and the qi luck that Lord Mu said, the most important thing is confidence. There are fifty-two Dan masters participating in this second round of the competition, and some of them have succeeded in refining the Heaven and Earth Blossom Pill, while others have failed. Whether they succeeded or failed, it does not matter, what matters is whether the confidence in our Dan Dao is still there.
There is no Dan master who will only succeed in refining pills without failing. So this round, apart from the competition of Dan Dao levels, there is also a confidence competition.”
Ning Cheng did not know how the confidence contest Kong Lianbo was talking about, but he agreed with Kong Lianbo’s words. The reason why Si Chuan Qiu Tian had cracks in his dan dao was because he had lost his confidence.
“So this second round we won’t directly let the judges judge the Heaven and Earth Blossom Pills refined by all the dan masters, instead we will let each dan master come forward and make some judgement on the dao pills they have refined themselves. Even if you fail in your refinement and don’t make a single dan, you can still come forward and say that you can make it into the top ten, as long as your reasoning is agreed by all the judges.”
Hearing Kong Lianbo talk about this, Ning Cheng secretly thought that this was to be a hair-trigger. He did not care at that time, the Heaven and Earth Blossom Pill he had refined would most likely be the first, and even if it was not the first, it would not fall into the top three.
Seeing that no one objected to his words, Kong Lianbo continued, “Now the judging will continue, and I would like to ask all dan masters to rank their dao pills. If one’s Dao Dan is very good and one does not dare to stand up and speak out, it will be counted as a direct elimination.”
Ning Cheng understood that even if he had refined the Heaven and Earth Blossom Pill that was bound to be in the top three, if he did not stand up and speak, it would still be an eliminated item.
