He was completely absorbed in his cultivation.

If anyone was in the cave now, they would be surprised to see that Lin Shen was covered by dense spiritual essence. From the outside, he looked like a ball of blue light.

The dense spiritual essence seeped into his body under the influence of an invisible force, assimilating his spiritual essence and forming something new.

Almost every half an hour, a new mass of spiritual essence would be formed and circulate throughout his body along the spirit meridians, imperceptibly tempering his body.

The entire process had already lasted for more than two days.

The process of becoming a cultivator master was actually the process of completely transforming one’s spiritual essence and at the same time tempering one’s body into an immortal’s body suitable for cultivating superior techniques.

During this process, the number of spirit meridians would greatly affect the quantity and quality of the spiritual essence condensed.

With each additional spirit meridian, he would be able to gather another mouthful of spiritual essence.

The more spiritual essence there was, the more perfect his body would be.

Lin Shen had a total of 108 spirit meridians, which was enough to condense 108 wisps of spiritual essence.

With so much spiritual essence, it was hard to imagine how perfect his body would be!

After more than two days, Lin Shen had already condensed 106 wisps of spiritual essence, and the transformation process was nearing its end.

Time passed in silence.

After an unknown period of time, when the last mouthful of spiritual essence was condensed, Lin Shen felt his heart beating like a drum.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The surging blood in his body flowed quickly and sounded like a tide in his ears.

Every acupuncture point in his body was moving vigorously as if a hammer was constantly hitting every part of his body. Even his joints and fascia were trembling.

Lin Shen didn’t care about these movements. He just focused his mind and circulated the spiritual essence in his body over and over again to wash and temper his body.

It wasn’t until his body could no longer be tempered that the spiritual essence finally stopped moving and returned to the apertures.

When all the spiritual essence returned to its aperture and stopped moving, Lin Shen suddenly felt that his surroundings were silent, and the sound of the entire world seemed to have disappeared in an instant.

This was an extremely quiet feeling as if the world hadn’t been created and nothing had begun. It was a mysterious state formed by nothingness.

He was adrift and forgot about his own world. His mind and consciousness seemed to be indistinct.

After an unknown period of time, a spark of inspiration rose in his heart. He asked himself, “Who am I?”

He replied, “1 am me. I am not me. 1 am also me. 1 am still me.”

With this realization, there was the sound of swords colliding. It was also like a rusty lock falling to the ground.

All of a sudden, as if he had been released from some kind of restraint, Lin Shen felt lighter!

As soon as the profound sound was heard, the golden lock fell. From then on, he was on the immortal path!

Lin Shen opened his eyes, and the light that burst out in that instant actually flashed across the entire cave.

He stood up and felt that his body was incomparably agile. His every move was like riding a cloud. Everything was different. It was as if he had changed into a new person.

“I’ve become a cultivator master. From now on, I’ll truly step onto the immortal path!”

Lin Shen was overwhelmed with emotions. He wanted to let out a long cry to vent the ecstasy.

Cultivator masters belonged to the top class in this world.

Being promoted to a cultivator master meant that he was starting to step into the top tier and was no longer a random pawn that could be manipulated by others!

The world he faced in the future would be totally different!

After a long while, Lin Shen snapped out of his ecstasy and focused on checking the spiritual essence in his body.

The 108 wisps of spiritual essence were still in their respective orifices.

After advancing to the Spirit Nurturing Stage and until breaking through to the Mystic Light Stage, the amount of spiritual essence in a cultivator’s body would no longer change.

That was also the main reason why the number of spirit meridians determined a cultivator master’s potential.

Spiritual essence was the most important combat method for cultivator masters.

One spirit meridian would create one mouthful of spiritual essence.

If a cultivator who had just reached the threshold of advancement and only had nine mouthfuls of spiritual essence met a genius cultivator master who had a second-grade spirit meridian and thirty-six mouthfuls of spiritual essence, it was obvious who would win.

As their stages and the quality of their spiritual essence improved, the gap between them would become more and more obvious.

Furthermore, many cultivation techniques and divine powers in the cultivator master stage had high requirements for the number of spirit meridians.

The higher the grade of the spirit meridian, the more cultivation techniques and divine powers one could cultivate.

As cultivators with inferior-grade spirit meridians, it was destined that they had fewer choices in the cultivation techniques and divine powers that they could cultivate. It was undoubtedly very difficult to find a cultivation technique that was suitable for them.

Because of that, the effect of the spirit meridian grade would become more and more obvious as one’s cultivation level increased.

It wasn’t just the quantity and strength of spiritual essence, but also the difference in cultivation techniques and skills.

A cultivator with a fourth-grade spirit meridian and at Level-9 of the Spirit Nurturing Stage would definitely lose against a cultivator with a second-grade spirit meridian of the same cultivation level unless the former had a spirit artifact!

From this point of view, Lin Shen’s 108 mouthfuls of spiritual essence were unprecedented.

As he had nothing specific to compare to, he didn’t know what level his current strength was at among the Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator masters.

After calming himself down, Lin Shen summoned the interface.
