Chapter 94 Cultivation Technique
A dream of the future.
After being separated for many days, Wei Xia and Gu Hongzhuang returned to their residence.
Wei Xia was alright, but Gu Hongzhuang still had the lingering smell of blood and medicine on her.
Zhou Qiuyuan noticed the fatigue in Wei Xia and Gu Hongzhuang's eyes. He carefully examined Wei Xia but did not see any obvious injuries.
"Senior sister, what happened?"
"I completed a few sect missions and earned some sect contribution points." Wei Xia shook his head to indicate that it was alright, and handed over his identity token.
"A suitable cultivation technique is crucial for a cultivator, as it determines the upper limit of their future cultivation level."
"Junior brother, this token contains one thousand sect contribution points. You should have already adapted to the acquired lightning spiritual root, and it's time to go to the library to choose a suitable cultivation technique."
Wei Xia was away for ten days, constantly completing missions to earn sect contribution points. What was most touching was that she gave him all of her sect contribution points, just so he could choose a cultivation technique.
"Senior sister..."
Zhou Qiuyuan opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word of refusal.
He was troubled by the lack of a suitable cultivation method, and was unable to practice it.
During this time, he had been trying to improve the efficiency of the Thunder Spirit Furnace in purifying spiritual energy in the future dream, with the sole aim of earning twenty sect contribution points as quickly as possible.
Even after purifying the spiritual energy for six or seven months, he could only barely exchange it for the most basic lightning cultivation technique.
Wei Xia took out a token worth 1,000 sect contribution points, which was equivalent to Zhou Qiuyuan's nearly 30 years of purifying spiritual energy.
He wasn't a newbie to the Blackwater Sect; he had learned about the value of the sect's contributions from Han Su over the past few days.
Even according to the sect's exchange rate, one thousand sect contribution points can be exchanged for one hundred spirit stones.
To exchange spirit stones for 1,000 sect contribution points, one would need 2,000 spirit stones and nearly 17 years.
Ten spirit stones can be exchanged for one spirit stone, and the sect can still make a profit of half of the difference.
Sect contributions are far more valuable than spirit stones, and few people are willing to exchange sect contributions for spirit stones.
A thousand sect contribution points is not a small amount for a cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining. This is not a sect contribution point that can be earned in one or two missions. It should be Wei Xia's accumulation over many years.
Zhou Qiuyuan sighed and replied, "Senior Sister, this is far too precious!"
However, the joy in his eyes could not be hidden no matter what.
Wei Xia glanced at Zhou Qiuyuan and sneered, "Wanting it but refusing, what a hypocrite."
She waved her hand dismissively and said, "My master taught me cultivation techniques and secret arts, and also secretly gave me a high-grade magic weapon. The sect contribution is useless, so consider it as returning your spirit stones."
"Good cultivation techniques are not cheap, so you can't choose a bad one. Besides, if you embark on the path of cultivation as soon as possible, you can also fulfill your father's wish."
Seeing that Zhou Qiuyuan did not respond for a long time, she glared at him resentfully. "My father once said, don't take advantage of others, especially men."
"Could it be that your senior sister took your spirit stones and now demands she repay you with her body?!"
Zhou Qiuyuan smiled and said, "Thank you for taking care of me, Senior Sister. I will never forget this great kindness."
Wei Xia seemed to have thought of something and reminded him, "This time, try to choose a lightning cultivation technique, focusing on Qi cultivation."
"The cultivation method of body refiners originates from the immortal body refinement: the Treasure Refining Body Technique. If you receive more sect contributions in the future and wish to further your studies in body refinement, you may consider cultivating this body refinement technique as well."
"However, there is a distinction between primary and secondary aspects in cultivation. Don't try to do too much at once, or you'll end up not mastering it. Don't delay your cultivation progress."
Zhou Qiuyuan listened quietly and sincerely bowed to Wei Xia.
Both my master and my senior sister are good people and can be considered the greatest benefactors on my life's journey.
Great kindness needs no words of thanks; even a drop of water in need deserves a spring in return.
Zhou Qiuyuan bid farewell to his senior sister and rushed to the library.
Since the Blackwater Sect opened the back door for Dao soldiers to become regular outer disciples, it has turned a blind eye to Dao soldiers using inner disciple tokens to exchange for cultivation techniques in the library.
After all, which family doesn't have a few good-for-nothing descendants?
With his senior sister's token, Zhou Qiuyuan successfully arrived at the second floor of the library.
There were far fewer people on the second floor than on the first floor. The people coming and going were all inner and outer disciples wearing green robes or black water robes. Zhou Qiuyuan's gray robe was too conspicuous.
Everyone glanced at it and then looked away indifferently.
The vast majority of the Blackwater Sect's Dao soldiers are people with connections, with someone providing sect contributions behind them, so it's normal for them to be able to enter the second floor.
The layout of the second floor of the library is roughly the same as that of the first floor, containing cultivation techniques, spells, and secret arts.
In addition, there are other immortal arts such as weapon crafting, alchemy, formation making, talisman making, and puppet making.
There are so many varieties that it's dazzling and overwhelming.
This is a treasure trove!
I'm going to take them all!
Zhou Qiuyuan was like a mouse that had entered a rice jar; every time he passed a place where books were, he couldn't hide his smile.
His appearance made people think he had been corrupted by spiritual energy and gone mad, so they quickly distanced themselves from him.
Zhou Qiuyuan arrived at the area of thunder cultivation techniques and quickly skimmed over the various techniques.
"Lei Yuan Gong", "Zheng Yang Lei Fa", "Zi Xiao Lei Ling Jue", "Long Hu Yin Yang Mi Lei Bao Dian", "Shen Xiao Yu Lei Zhen Jie"...
Zhou Qiuyuan's gaze swept over the various martial arts techniques, his eyes gradually becoming more fervent.
"Thunder Yuan Gong" is the most basic cultivation technique, requiring only twenty sect contribution points.
If Wei Xia hadn't contributed to the sect, this would have been the cultivation technique he practiced.
The Zheng Yang Thunder Technique is far superior, belonging to an extremely high-quality thunder spirit cultivation technique, and is also the highest-quality thunder cultivation technique that independent cultivators can learn.
The "Purple Heaven Thunder Spirit Technique" can be considered a family and small sect-level inheritance, and the entire Qi cultivation manual is worth a thousand sect contributions.
Wei Xia had completed his sect's mission and had deliberately accumulated a thousand sect contribution points, presumably so that he could exchange them for this cultivation technique.
This Thunder Path technique is already quite remarkable, but there are even better techniques above it.
The "Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Secret Thunder Manual" is a sect-level inheritance. It is divided into three parts for the Qi Refining stage: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Each part is exchanged for 1,000 sect contribution points.
Finally, there is the "True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control," a cultivation technique divided into thirteen levels, each requiring one thousand sect contributions.
"The True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control" is the most advanced thunder cultivation technique, and it is also the technique that Zhou Qiuyuan most wants to exchange for.
However, the manual was marked as being available only to true disciples, but for some reason, that was crossed out.
Zhou Qiuyuan carefully read the opening, then remained silent.
"One must draw upon the overwhelming power of the heavens and condense a bit of the true essence of heavenly thunder in order to cultivate the 'True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control.' Once this technique is mastered, one can control all kinds of thunder."
"Note: This technique is the supreme technique of the destroyed Shenxiao Dao Sect. To cultivate this technique, one must draw upon the power of heavenly lightning. The higher one's cultivation level, the stronger the heavenly lightning must be drawn, and one must be in a state of being neither dead nor alive in order to have any hope of condensing the true meaning of heavenly lightning. Cultivating this technique is a risky path, putting oneself in a life-or-death situation. Not one in a hundred people can succeed. This is a warning to those who come after to act according to their abilities."
Zhou Qiuyuan stared at the "True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control" for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.
No wonder this true disciple's cultivation method has relaxed its restrictions.
The sect lost more than a dozen true disciples in one go, yet they didn't list this technique as a forbidden skill?
This martial art is so dangerous that it can kill people at any time, which is terrifying.
So, should he exchange for "The True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control"?
Or should I exchange for the relatively safer "Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Secret Thunder Manual"?
