30 -Twenty-Eight: The Boost of Cultivation Techniques

“Can’t remember?”

Zhou Chen’s eyes, hazed by alcohol, instantly cleared as he murmured, “Is it…

someone used memory interference techniques on the Third Young Master?”

That Marquis Wucheng is a loyal member of the Royalist Faction, and he has always been at odds with the Prime Minister.

With this incident, any instigation would surely intensify the conflict.

However, no sooner had he spoken than Zhou Chen turned his head sharply to look at Sizi Yu, his gaze both strange and astonished:

“That’s not right, didn’t you just say you were in charge of the Third Young Master’s security at that time?

He may not remember, but how could you, a Great Grandmaster, also not remember?”

“….”

The bleak wind swept across the sky, making their robes flap noisily.

Sizi Yu calmly met Zhou Chen’s gaze for two seconds before gently shaking his head:

“Right, I can’t remember either.”

“Someone from the Primordial Realm?”

“Not sure.

It’s said that the Prime Minister has had the Shadow Guards investigating for over a year, but there’s still no result.”

Zhou Chen fell silent for a long time before taking a big swig of the strong alcohol and exhaling deeply:

“Tsk, when it rains, it pours.

Luckily I was transferred to Jingjiang City to protect the Third Young Master….”

“Don’t forget the task the First Young Master entrusted us with,” Sizi Yu reminded.

Hearing this, Zhou Chen lazily ruffled his messy hair, waved his hand dismissively, and said casually:

“It’s just teaching the Third Young Master cultivation, I know, don’t worry….”

…..

In the main chamber of the attic, Xu Yuan breathed heavily.

Currently, all the various precious pieces of furniture in the room had been stripped clean by him.

Of course, except for the bed he woke up in.

After all, if he dismantled it, Xu Yuan would have to sleep on the floor.

But now, to be so exhausted from dismantling furniture, his strength probably didn’t compare even to his family’s Husky from his previous life.

This frail body hadn’t undergone any significant change due to acquiring the Innate Constitution; it was still as weak as ever in the kidneys.

Cultivation and accumulating Origin Qi would indeed gradually improve and strengthen his physique, but Xu Yuan had just begun his practice, and this change was not yet noticeable.

Standing still, Xu Yuan took a couple of deep breaths before curling back onto the bed to meditate and regulate his breathing.

As the “Blood Yuan Heart Meteor Technique” started to operate, Xu Yuan’s rapid breathing quickly steadied.

Now officially beginning his cultivation, Xu Yuan found many interesting things.

For example, a complete cultivation technique actually contains many different meridian circulation routes to suit different conditions.

There’s one for healing injuries, another for cultivation, one for combat, and so on.

These routes complement each other, yet they are distinctly different.

Another example is that the strength of all cultivators can actually be divided into two stages.

The first stage is their normal state, or in other words, when cultivators are not operating their techniques.

In this stage, cultivators rely entirely on the hard power accumulated from past cultivation.

Just like the scabbard strikes Ran Qingmo delivered earlier when taming the white tiger, Xu Yuan speculated that those were based on her past cultivation without any enhancement from her techniques.

The second stage is when the cultivator’s body starts running their cultivation technique.

The operation of the technique can greatly enhance the cultivator’s strength.

The specific extent of the enhancement increases continuously with the efficiency of the technique’s operation.

Just like when he faced the whip of vines previously drawn by Xu Changge.

With the first two strikes, he only needed to mobilize some of his power to dodge, but for the third strike, he had to fully exert himself to handle it.

Moreover, Xu Yuan surmised that the type of cultivation technique would result in different amplification effects.

The stronger the cultivation technique, the stronger the amplification effect it would bring.

Since arriving in this world, Xu Yuan had practiced two cultivation techniques, which allowed him to make the comparison.

One was “Lotus Sword Art,” taught to him by Ran Qingmo, and the other was the Blood Rank “Blood Yuan Heart Crumble Technique.”

The amplification effects of the two were simply not on the same level.

With the boost from the Blood Yuan Heart Crumble Technique, Xu Yuan’s stamina, reaction speed, and even strength had already subtly surpassed that of a normal person.

Of course,

the benefits of a cultivation technique were far more than that, including various technique moves that came along with it.

Just like Xu Yuan’s blood-colored flames, just like Ran Qingmo’s Ice Cloud Step.

The more Xu Yuan cultivated, the more he marveled at the cultivation system of this world.

As to why cultivators could not keep their cultivation techniques in operation all the time, maintaining their strongest combat power to prevent surprise attacks,

firstly, it’s because meridians are quite delicate things, and aside from certain special constitutions, cultivators cannot operate their cultivation technique at full force for long periods, as continuous high-load operation would damage the meridians.

Secondly, the meridian pathways active during combat continuously consume the body’s Origin Qi.

Optimizing his body’s condition, Xu Yuan took out two bottles of elixir medicine from his Sumeru Ring.

One bottle of Qingling Pill and one Humaí Pill; he took out one pill from each bottle and swallowed them down, then closed his eyes to enter the state of cultivation.

Two streams of medicinal power spread out within his body.

A thin layer of refined medicinal film also appeared on the inner walls of his meridians, and at the same time, Xu Yuan felt as if his will-spirit had been stimulated and become even more lucid.

The effects were so notable, it was no wonder these were divine medicines from the early stages in the “Cangyuan Chronicles” game that Xu Yuan had only ingested a few times.

Not wasting anymore time, Xu Yuan extended his will-spirit and immediately felt the surrounding Origin Qi, which had already condensed into a viscous liquid state.

A hint of surprise emerged in his heart.

He had never experienced such viscous Origin Qi, even in that cave with a spiritual spring.

The Xuanying Attic, as Xu Changge’s means of transportation, was naturally covered with various formations, among them, naturally, was the Spirit Gathering Array that aided in cultivation.

The function of the Spirit Gathering Array included the effects of the Spirit Locking Formation, but they were used in very different places.

The Spirit Locking Formation was more concealed, preventing the leakage of Origin Qi in a space and was mostly used at places with spiritual springs or founts.

The Spirit Gathering Array, however, gathered the surrounding Origin Qi, mostly used in open terrain, and the fluctuations of gathered Origin Qi were easily detectable by others’ will-spirits once established.

But even with a Spirit Gathering Array, this room should not have been able to produce such an effect with the liquid-state Origin Qi.

Xu Yuan silently pondered, and before starting his cultivation, he started searching through the liquid Origin Qi sea for the source of this Origin Qi.

He theorized that his brother’s room must contain some treasure.

The talent of the Innate Soul Body manifested once again, and amidst the minute currents of Origin Qi, Xu Yuan ultimately located the source of the liquid-state Origin Qi.

Opening his eyes, Xu Yuan walked slowly to the center of the chamber.

After a moment’s silence, he activated his cultivation technique, and blood-colored flames sprouted from his fist, followed by a punch hammering down to the floor.

“Bang!”

Wood chips flew through the air, and Xu Yuan was instantly propelled backward by a powerful rebound force.

“Thud!”

With a muffled sound, he crashed heavily against the wooden wall.

Xu Yuan felt dizzy, and even the cultivation technique operating within him was disrupted by the rebound force.

As Xu Yuan struggled to his feet and looked up again, he saw a white pearl about half a foot in diameter beneath the shattered floorboards!
