"Wasn’t it too hasty to reveal your true power after hiding it for so long?" Yu Tian asked as the two flew back.
"Why do you think I hid my power before?" she asked.
Yu Tian thought to himself that it was because she had been weak.
Previously, if she showed her full peak Foundation Establishnt strength, even though she would still be considered weak, she would also appear as a threat since soone of her age being at the peak of Foundation Establishnt had too much potential to let be.
So she had hidden her strength to avoid appearing as a threat. But in the end, she was still considered a threat.
Yu Tian sighed. The cultivation world was really cruel.
"Are you strong enough now?" Yu Tian didn’t answer the question and asked a different one instead.
She seed to think for a mont. "Not really. I’m still too weak," she said. "But that’s compared to my current opponent." She paused. "As for my previous enemies, now we’re equals, so they’ll think twice before they act."
Yu Tian thought it made sense.
"Besides, if I don’t show my true power, others will bully you when I’m not around," she said as they descended, landing on the training ground.
"Are you going to practice the mind realm?" she asked.
"I’ll watch you practice for so ti first," Yu Tian said.
"Really?" she asked in excitent.
Yu Tian nodded with a smile. She quickly ran to the center of the training ground and drew her sword, starting her practice.
She thought to herself that having Yu Tian guide her practice as the maker of the technique would be really beneficial for improving her mastery. She couldn’t waste such an opportunity.
Yu Tian thought to himself that his mind level was close to achieving a breakthrough, and he felt he could breakthrough today. He had already calculated the amount of ti needed, so he decided to use the extra ti to read so of these manuals.
He felt that if he could read these manuals, which were created to be used by cultivators, he might understand cultivators much better and how to deal with them. It would also help in optimizing his own thods.
An hour passed. Yu Tian sat on the side of the training area, reading manuals and occasionally instructing Xueling on her form.
These manuals weren’t high grade like the one Xueling had, so they were much easier to understand. Most were low grade, there were so mid grade, and two were high grade.
He wasn’t looking into the high grade ones at the mont since they would take too much ti. He would look into them when he upgraded his mind.
Now he was looking at the mid grade ones, which he had analyzed three of after an hour.
Yu Tian felt he had expanded his knowledge greatly. As he analyzed more and more techniques, he also got used to so patterns that he could use to analyze the rest much more easily.
After another two hours, he had analyzed twelve mid grade techniques and scriptures in total.
This covered all the mid grade thods. Now just the low grade ones remained, along with the two high grade ones.
...
Yu Tian decided not to go into the low and high grade ones at the mont. Instead, he pulled a different thod he had in his spatial pouch. It was the poison thod he had picked up from that guy running an inn in the mortal town.
Now that he thought about it, he didn’t even know his na. Not that it mattered.
He opened up the manual. The manual was a mid grade technique that used the wood elent to create all sorts of poisons. Yu Tian felt this thod suited his fighting style, so he was going to improve on it to create sothing that he could use.
Among the twelve other mid grade thods he had studied, there was also another poison thod there, so he could draw so good aspects from both techniques as well as other benefits from techniques he liked and make sothing good.
He thought that for him, weapon techniques didn’t really matter since his weapon swings always followed the path with the most chances of success, and using a technique wouldn’t work as they each followed a specific pattern.
The only techniques he could use were support techniques like strengthening the body, enhancing his weapon with qi, and even poisoning, which he was pursuing at the mont.
After an hour, he had completed analyzing the poison thod as well as made his first draft for the technique he wanted to make.
Now it was ti for so refining and it could be used.
In another hour, he was done with the technique. He decided to na it the "Thousand Poisons thod."
The way the new technique worked was just like the original, using wood qi to create a sort of qi-based poison that targeted cultivators. The changes he had done to the technique were adding so new unique ways to target the bodies of cultivators.
With the knowledge he had gathered by analyzing how techniques worked in a cultivator’s body, he could accurately tell the best targets for his poison and how to make it so that it caused the most damage.
Currently, he had three sorts of poisons.
The first one was perception-based. This attacked the link between the mind realm and the qi pathways. When soone was infected with this poison, they would no longer be able to access their spiritual sea for so ti, cutting off their access to spiritual sense and voice transmission in the process.
Though he admitted he had gone a little overboard with this one as all those were mostly abilities of the Core Formation realm. When used against opponents of his realm, it probably wouldn’t do much since there was nothing to block in the first place.
And qi sense didn’t rely on the mind realm, so it wouldn’t be blocked by this.
But this is where the second poison ca in. He called this qi paralysis. It was just like its na suggested - a poison that paralyzed the qi in the body. This poison would enter the user’s body and move in such a manner that forced the qi of others to be paralyzed for a mont.
He could then use the chance to finish off the opponent.
Of course, all the poisons weren’t absolute and scaled with his strength. At his current strength, if he used qi paralysis on Xueling, it would just work for a split second before she could use her overwhelming energy to overpower it.
But against people in the sa realm or those in the Foundation Establishnt realm - that’s where his thods would shine.
The third poison was the deadliest of all...
