"The content of this bone slip can only be viewed three tis. After three tis, the content inside will be destroyed. Do not waste each opportunity," Fang Ge explained.
"It’s another asure to prevent leaks..." Yuan Ming thought to himself.
"By the way, the content of the cultivation technique can only be morized with your heart. It is forbidden to copy or spread it without permission. Once discovered, it is a capital offense, and no one can save you then," Fang Ge solemnly warned.
"What if I can’t rember it after three tis?" Yuan Ming curiously asked.
"If you can’t rember it after three tis, you can go to the second floor of the Repository Pavilion to exchange. Ten contribution points can be exchanged for one borrowing opportunity," Fang Ge said.
"Okay, thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother," Yuan Ming thanked with a fist.
"Don’t refine the embryo today. Take care of your spirit and go back to morize and familiarize yourself with the cultivation technique," Fang Ge waved his hand and said.
"I will listen to Senior Brother," Yuan Ming bid farewell and left.
Fang Ge looked at Yuan Ming’s departing figure and suddenly beca puzzled: "Has Huo Chan’er grown up during this ti?"
...
After Yuan Ming left, instead of imdiately returning to his residence, he put Huo Chan’er into the spirit beast bag and went straight to the Repository Pavilion.
This ti, he went directly to the second floor along the spiral staircase.
The second floor of the Repository Pavilion was much more spacious than the first floor. Two-thirds of the area was filled with matching tables and chairs, with scattered disciples sitting inside.
Unlike the relaxed atmosphere downstairs, the atmosphere upstairs beca noticeably more serious.
Everyone sitting here had furrowed brows and a concentrated and nervous appearance, afraid of wasting this learning opportunity obtained with contribution points if they were slightly distracted.
One-third of the remaining area on the second floor was divided and built into an independent room.
Behind the desk placed outside the room, there sat a middle-aged steward with dark skin, slightly fat, and silver earrings hanging on his ears.
This person had a fierce appearance with a face full of flesh, the kind that could stop a baby from crying at night.
"Elder, I’m here to borrow the secret manual of ’Spirit Expulsion Technique’," Yuan Ming stepped forward, saluted, and spoke.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged steward raised his eyelids, looked at Yuan Ming, and slowly said, "Ten contribution points."
Yuan Ming took off his waist badge and placed it on the desk.
The middle-aged steward picked up the waist badge without wasting words, got up, pushed open the door behind him, and walked in.
In a short while, he ca back with a thin blue book in his hand.
"For borrowing books, you can only stay within the range of the second floor and cannot take them out. It is limited to three hours," the middle-aged steward said and placed the waist badge and book on the table.
After thanking him, Yuan Ming took the waist badge and checked it. There were only fourteen contribution points left.
He sat down at a table and chair, brought out the "Spirit Expulsion Technique," and began to concentrate on reading it. He maintained his usual pace, flipping through one page after another, neither fast nor slow.
The information that could be accessed on the second floor was obtained at a considerable cost. Almost everyone read it word by word, carefully morizing and reading slowly.
In comparison, Yuan Ming appeared sowhat unique.
After about half an hour, Yuan Ming got up and went to the desk of the middle-aged steward.
The latter frowned and said, "The ti is not up yet. If you want to copy the technique, it requires one hundred contribution points."
Yuan Ming shook his head and smiled, "No need, I’m here to return the manual."
After saying that, he didn’t care about the middle-aged steward’s reaction, turned around, walked downstairs, and left the Repository Pavilion.
After leaving, Yuan Ming went to Zhao Tong’s residence and happened to et him returning from the Toad Valley. He imdiately repaid the contribution points he owed him, leaving only seven contribution points now.
After returning to the residence in the Fire Refining Hall, Yuan Ming imdiately patted the spirit beast bag and released Huo Chan’er.
As soon as the little guy ca out, he climbed onto Yuan Ming’s shoulder and scratched and clawed at him, venting his dissatisfaction of being locked up.
Yuan Ming took out a piece of Fire Essence Jade from the storage bag and shook it. Huo Chan’er imdiately stopped venting, crawled along Yuan Ming’s arm, and snatched the Fire Essence Jade, gnawing on it.
Yuan Ming sat down at the table, took out the bone slip that copied the "Azure Luo Technique," and stuck it on his forehead, carefully examining it.
"The Azure Luo Technique belongs to the wood attribute, mainly promoting growth. If cultivated successfully, it can continuously produce mana and have a long-lasting effect..."
Looking at the content recorded in the bone slip, Yuan Ming couldn’t help but wonder, "According to this, the ’Azure Luo Technique’ belongs to the wood attribute cultivation technique."
After a little thought, Yuan Ming continued to read.
After a long ti, the content of the cultivation technique was deeply imprinted in Yuan Ming’s mind. However, what followed was a big doubt.
"Why does it say that the ’Azure Luo Technique’ can establish a foundation at the tenth level of Qi Refinent, but I rember that the ’Nine Elents Art’ clearly states that the foundation can only be established at the thirteenth level of Qi Refinent?" Yuan Ming pondered silently.
With doubts in his mind, he carefully recalled the two cultivation techniques. After comparing them, he found that according to the cultivation thod of the ’Azure Luo Technique,’ reaching the tenth level would be the limit that could be achieved in Qi Refinent.
On the other hand, the ’Nine Elents Art’ could allow Yuan Ming to cultivate all the way to the thirteenth level.
Just based on this, the ’Nine Elents Art’ was obviously stronger than the ’Azure Luo Technique.’
"Anyway, it is still the orthodox cultivation technique of the Azure Luo Cave. It must have its unique aspects. I’ll try practicing it first," Yuan Ming silently pondered in his heart.Thinking about the cautious attitude of Bi Luo Cave towards cultivation thods, Yuan Ming could guess that once he revealed his practice of the "Nine Yuan thod", it would undoubtedly bring unnecessary trouble to himself.
Before, he was just a beast slave, and no matter how much he tossed around in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it was hard to attract attention. But now that he had arrived at Bi Luo Cave, he had to be more cautious.
If he could practice the "Bi Luo thod" at the sa ti, it would be easier to hide this matter.
With this thought, Yuan Ming got up and prepared to go out.
"Huo Chan, let’s go..."
Huo Diao had just finished eating the fire jade, and as soon as he heard Yuan Ming’s call, he imdiately got up and followed, jumping onto Yuan Ming’s shoulder in a flash.
The man and the marten left the courtyard and hurriedly headed down the mountain.
Before long, Yuan Ming, with Huo Diao, found a densely wooded sunny slope. He chose an ancient tree and sat down cross-legged under it.
Seeing Yuan Ming sit down, Huo Diao thought he was going to start practicing the Death Moon thod again, so he obediently lay down at Yuan Ming’s feet.
The little guy tilted his head and thought for a while, but in the end, he didn’t dare to climb onto his thigh.
Yuan Ming adjusted his breathing, and his hands imdiately began to form seals.
At the sa ti, he began to silently recite the Bi Luo thod in his heart, trying to circulate his mana for cultivation.
The next mont, a hazy green light lit up around him, and strands of heaven and earth aura began to gather around him.
Yuan Ming’s pores relaxed, and he began to absorb the aura into his body like breathing.
As ti slowly passed, Huo Chan, who was lying at Yuan Ming’s feet, noticed that the fluctuations emanating from him were different from when he practiced under the moonlight at night, and he beca a little restless.
But when he felt the gathering of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he felt a bit more comfortable and didn’t make a fuss.
After a long ti, Yuan Ming slowly opened his eyes, feeling sowhat disappointed.
He had chosen a place with dense trees to practice the Bi Luo thod according to the requirents of the thod, but the result was not satisfactory. The speed of inhaling and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the speed of mana conversion were too slow.
Although it was not as difficult as when he practiced the Blood Qi thod, the speed of cultivation was far from that of the Nine Yuan thod.
It could be said that the two were not comparable at all.
With this thought, Yuan Ming suddenly thought of a question. He seed to have never figured out what kind of thod the Nine Yuan thod was.
According to the "Bi Luo thod", different thods should be practiced in their respective suitable environnts, which would have different degrees of enhancent effects. If he knew the attribute of the Nine Yuan thod, could the speed of cultivation be improved?
Yuan Ming clearly rembered that when he first learned the Nine Yuan thod, he did not hear about the attribute of the Nine Yuan thod from the Daoist in the jade pot. But after practicing for a long ti, he had so feelings.
According to his previous inference, the attribute of the "Nine Yuan thod" should be between wood and water.
"Let’s give it a try."
With this thought, Yuan Ming changed his seals and began to practice the Nine Yuan thod.
Just after a short while of cultivation, Yuan Ming couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.
"No wonder, no wonder..." He chuckled and said repeatedly, startling Huo Chan.
Yuan Ming had been wondering why his speed of practicing the Nine Yuan thod had gradually slowed down since he entered the Fire Refining Hall. It turned out that he had left the dense forest environnt of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Obviously, the "Nine Yuan thod", like the "Bi Luo thod", belonged to the wood attribute thod.
"Since they both belong to the wood attribute thod, there’s no need to worry about being found out. This crappy Bi Luo thod, it’s better not to practice it." Yuan Ming was overjoyed.
It was not until this mont that he finally confird the extraordinary nature of the Nine Yuan thod, which was far superior to the likes of the Bi Luo thod. The fact that he, with his four spiritual roots, could cultivate so quickly in such a harsh environnt as the Hundred Thousand Mountains, was all thanks to it.
After discovering this, Yuan Ming was not in a hurry to practice the Nine Yuan thod.
After sitting cross-legged, he took a deep breath and began to recall the content of the "Object Manipulation Technique" in his mind.
The Object Manipulation Technique, as the na suggests, is a technique for driving objects for one’s own use.
The principle of the thod is not difficult. It requires using mana as a guide to establish a connection with the object, allowing the mana to naturally flow from one’s arm into the object, making it one with oneself, to the point where it can be controlled as easily as one’s own arm.
Generally speaking, objects like magical instrunts that have spiritual energy within them are easier to communicate with and more convenient to control.
Of course, in this process, the power of the soul is also needed.
After all, only when the caster is fully focused on controlling the mana can the flow of mana not deviate, thus accurately driving the controlled object.
Because he had practiced the Death Moon thod, Yuan Ming had so confidence in his soul power. He imdiately found a stone in the forest and held it in his hand.
