Cultivation Starting from Full Talent

"Fellow Daoist Mu,"

The Shadow Wolf King spoke in human language, "The injuries this seat has sustained are indeed severe. I hope that fellow daoist will set up a Wood Element Gathering Spirit Array. In this way, the healing effect of young friend's Evergreen Technique will naturally be better."

The Vine Demon slapped its storage bag, sending forth several array flags and plates. It chuckled and said, "It should be done!"

In the next moment, a second-stage lower-grade Wood Element Gathering Spirit Array appeared around them.

"Young friend,"

The Shadow Wolf King raised its head to look at Ning Daoran and said, "I know that summoning young friend here to help heal my wounds may have been abrupt. I ask for your understanding—if young friend can heal my severe injuries, these Dust-falling Grasses will all belong to you."

It called lightly, and immediately, seven or eight stalks of Dust-falling Grass floated out from a nearby secret chamber and were collected into a storage bag.

"Additionally, these will also serve as a token of my sincerity."

The Shadow Wolf King blew gently, and strands of golden-glowing wolf hairs floated up from its back and gathered together—exactly ten of them.

"These ten Lifebound Wolf Brushes all contain this seat's true essence. In the eyes of you human clan members, they are considered third-tier top-grade materials. They can serve as primary materials to refine third-tier top-grade talisman pens. These shall also count as gifts for young friend."

Its eyes narrowed as it spoke, "I only hope young friend will give your all to use the Evergreen Technique to heal this seat's injuries. As for the grudge between us before, let's consider it a misunderstanding. Would that be agreeable?"

Ning Daoran maintained a calm expression and said, "Senior's words, can they be trusted?"

"Of course they can be trusted!"

The Shadow Wolf King said, "Both Fellow Daoist Fish and Fellow Daoist Mu can testify. As long as you cure this seat's injuries, I will keep my word!"

"Alright."

Ning Daoran nodded heavily, "If that's the case, I will do my utmost to aid senior and ensure your injuries are healed!"

"Good!"

The elder demons all narrowed their eyes and smiled as they nodded.

...

Ning Daoran leapt upward and sat cross-legged a few meters away from the Shadow Wolf King.

Raising his hand, a strand of Evergreen Technique mana turned into a pillar of light and poured into the Shadow Wolf King's wounds. Immediately, endless spiritual energy began seeping into the injuries, initiating healing.

The Shadow Wolf King let out a sigh, which sounded both painful and as though it were a relief.

The healing process executed by Ning Daoran was exceedingly slow. He restrained the power of the Evergreen Technique to only the tenth layer while suppressing his mana output to less than twenty percent of his peak capacity.

*The reason being, not a single one of these elder demons could be trusted. He had to make plans for his eventual escape.*

"The Evergreen Technique is indeed a marvel of the world,"

The Fish Demon spat out a bubble while laughing, "This young friend cultivating the Evergreen Technique to the tenth layer truly shows extraordinary talent."

"Fellow Daoist Fish,"

The Vine Demon narrowed its eyes and said, "Please do not disturb him; let's not distract the little friend."

"You're right, fellow daoist,"

The two elder demons then focused wholeheartedly on guarding the area.

...

Time trickled by, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

At this point, although Ning Daoran had been continuously using the Evergreen Technique for two days and nights, due to his limited mana expenditure, his internal reserves were still over seventy percent full.

Nonetheless, he deliberately feigned extreme exhaustion, his face drenched with sweat.

By now, the wounds on the Shadow Wolf King's abdomen and back had healed halfway under the Evergreen Technique's nourishment.

Even the damaged heart veins were steadily repairing, and demonic power had begun to circulate through its internal channels.

At this moment, the Wolf King had recovered over sixty percent of its strength!

"Phew…"

Ning Daoran suddenly stopped.

"Young friend, why did you halt?" the Shadow Wolf King asked.

"Senior's injuries are indeed severe."

Ning Daoran wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This junior has been continuously using the Evergreen Technique to heal you; however, my mana has nearly been depleted. I ask senior's forgiveness and request a short rest so that I may meditate to replenish my strength."

"It should be so,"

The Wolf King nodded.

Ning Daoran sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest.

The Wolf King observed him, a gleam of malice flickering in its eyes.

Its mouth moved subtly, transmitting messages to the two elder demons.

"This child's talent is extraordinary—to cultivate the Evergreen Technique to the tenth layer before a century of age. His future achievements will be immeasurable. If he is allowed to live, he will undoubtedly be a significant threat to our Demon Clan in the future."

"Fellow daoist speaks rightly,"

The Fish Demon replied via transmission, "Once your injuries have healed ninety percent, we should kill him on the spot."

The Shadow Wolf King chuckled, "Many thanks to the two fellow daoists for protecting this seat during this time. Fear not, this seat will not neglect to reward you. The blood food in the southern forest will be entirely yielded to Fellow Daoist Fish.

As for Fellow Daoist Mu… this child has cultivated the Evergreen Technique to the tenth layer, his physical body has long been imbued with its true essence. Once he is killed, his corpse will be yielded to Fellow Daoist Mu for consumption—it will surely provide immense benefits to your wood-element cultivation!"

At once, the Vine Demon's eyes lit up, "Fellow daoist's words, are they true?"

"Naturally,"

The Shadow Wolf King smiled, "This is what fellow daoist deserves."

"In that case, I must thank fellow daoist in advance!"

...

About half a day later,

Ning Daoran had fully restored his mana and once again activated the tenth-layer Evergreen Technique, slowly resuming the healing of the Wolf King's injuries.

Inside the cave mansion, the Wolf King lay prone recovering, while the other two elder demons' expressions grew increasingly sinister.

*Ning Daoran remained calm outwardly. Within the depths of his body, not only was the Evergreen Technique silently operating, but even the True Yang Furnace Technique was imperceptibly running beneath the cover of the Concealing Breath Technique.*

*He was meticulously refining a wisp of True Yang Intense Flame to mimic the green hue of the Evergreen Technique. He blended it with the Evergreen Technique mana before channeling it into the Wolf King's body.*

*Having cultivated the Evergreen Technique to the fifteenth layer before, Ning Daoran had already gained profound insights into this cultivation method.*

*Most things in this world are composed of opposing forces—positive and negative, light and dark; the Evergreen Technique is no exception.*

*While the fifteenth-layer Evergreen Technique could refine exceptionally pure wood-attribute spiritual power, the process of refinement also generated some impurities, known as "Wood Poison."*

*Under normal circumstances, Ning Daoran would simply eliminate and evaporate these impurities during cultivation, ensuring no harm to the body.*

*But at this moment, these impurities were precisely his salvation.*

*Up to this point, Ning Daoran had been subtly channeling large amounts of Wood Poison disguised as Evergreen Technique mana into the Wolf King's wounds!*

*The Wood Poison resembled Evergreen Technique mana so closely that even the Wolf King's cultivation level failed to detect it!*

*As the saying goes, mastery comes from proficiency—when it came to the Evergreen Technique, Ning Daoran's proficiency far surpassed even the ancestral comprehension of the Wolf King. Such subtle maneuvers were naturally imperceptible to it.*

*Additionally, Ning Daoran quietly refined traces of True Yang Intense Flame into the Evergreen Technique mana and transmitted them into the Wolf King's body.*

*Thus, as long as he triggered the True Yang Intense Flame externally, the Wood Poison within the Wolf King's body would instantly ignite, transforming into an unimaginably destructive "Fire Poison."*

*The Fire Poison, born from the fifteenth-layer-refined Wood Poison combined with Returning to Nature-Level True Yang Furnace Technique's derivative Fire Poison, would undoubtedly unleash devastating power.*

*And this Fire Poison—it was the Wolf King's rightful due.*

...

Not long after, Ning Daoran's face was drenched in sweat.

*Conducting such delicate maneuvers under the noses of three elder demon kings was a nerve-wracking ordeal. To claim he wasn't anxious would be a lie—the sweat on his face stemmed not from exhaustion but from sheer panic.*

*One misstep, and it would lead to an irrecoverable catastrophe.*

*At this point, he fully understood that his only chance lay in suddenly triggering the Fire Poison before launching a surprise attack to disrupt the entire cave mansion. Only then could he hope to escape from under the noses of two Golden Core elder demons.* Thank you for reading. This was brought to you by M|V|L*EMPYR.

"May I ask young friend's name or dao title?"

Unexpectedly, the Shadow Wolf King opened its eyes and casually asked.

"Junior's dao title is Jianjia, commonly known as Independent Practitioner Jianjia."

"I see."

The Wolf King closed its eyes once more.

On the side, the Fish Demon concealed its murderous intent, and the Vine Demon began to look at Ning Daoran's back greedily, its desire growing uncontrollable.

*A body long tempered by the tenth-layer Evergreen Technique had already transcended mere flesh and blood.*

*To wood-element demons like the Vine Demon, Ning Daoran's physical body was undoubtedly a supreme tonic!*

...

The cave mansion was brimming with spiritual energy.

Another day and night passed in the blink of an eye.

Ning Daoran now appeared utterly fatigued, drenched in sweat, while the Concealing Breath Technique was fully operational, suppressing his external mana aura to an extremely weak state.

By this time, the Shadow Wolf King's torn fur on its back and abdomen had completely healed, and its damaged veins and heart vessels were nearly fully restored.

They had reached the final stage.

"Senior,"

Ning Daoran said, "In five more hours, senior's injuries will be entirely healed."

"Excellent. Thank you, young friend Jianjia,"

The Wolf King narrowed its eyes and smiled, "This seat will provide generous rewards later. Please concentrate on the healing process."

"Many thanks, senior!"

Ning Daoran once again focused on channeling the Evergreen Technique to heal.

The Fish Demon and Vine Demon relaxed their vigilance; evidently, they thought they'd need to wait five more hours.

The two demons closed their eyes once more, immersed in cultivation on the spot.

One hour later.

The entire cave mansion was silent, with only the faint ripples of mana from the Evergreen Technique's operation softly stirring the air.

It was time!

*Ning Daoran's thoughts surged, and the True Yang Furnace Technique within him erupted to its peak!*

"Buzz——"

With a deafening roar, the Wood Poison inside the Wolf King ignited completely, rapidly transforming into untold quantities of Fire Poison that burst forth through its body!

Under its fur, a fiery red glow emanated, and the intense Fire Poison threatened to burn through the skin and rupture the Wolf King.

"What's wrong!"

The Fish Demon's eyes snapped open as it shouted, "What's happening!?"

Red-eyed and seething with rage, the Shadow Wolf King bellowed, "Wretch! Did you tamper with my body?!"

Ning Daoran didn't waste words. He slapped his storage bag, summoning two sets of array flags and plates!

One set formed the Sea Ice Array, while the other activated the Blood Transformation Soul Chasing Array!

After casting over ten incantations, the two arrays layered onto each other like a nesting construct!

With the array's forces swirling upward, the entire cave mansion descended into chaos.

"Kill him! Quickly!"

The Shadow Wolf King trembled as it struggled to rise but remained rooted to the spot.

*It had to marshal all its demonic power to suppress the rampant Fire Poison within its body—its situation now perilously dire.*

The Vine Demon surged its mana to assist in subduing the Fire Poison.

The Fish Demon roared, generating an endless torrent of water that swept forward in an angry tide.

"Whoosh!"

Ning Daoran now grasped a Second-Order High-Grade Divine Speed Talisman, activating the Wind Riding Leisurely Technique to its pinnacle. His figure transformed into a streak of light, shooting away at breakneck speed.

As his body flashed past, a vine ball appeared in his hand.

Trapped within it, Big Stupid Deer wailed loudly, full of panic.

Ning Daoran waved his arm, releasing over ten Second-class Paperfolk throughout the cave. They transformed into paper cultivators that attacked the Fish Demon and Vine Demon without hesitation.

Simultaneously, Ning Daoran raised his hand, absorbing the storage bag containing the Dust-falling Grass and the third-tier Lifebound Wolf Brushes. With his body upside down, he turned into a streak of tunneling light and shot out of the Wolf King's cave mansion through a gap forcefully created by the Blood Transformation Soul Chasing Array!
