Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Six hours passed very quickly. Chen Fei and the others were already in a slight coma. The previous experience was too exciting, making the four of them very tired.

“Buzz!”

The ripples at the entrance of the Strange Wind Realm shook slightly. All the disciples opened their eyes and realized that the two elders, Sun Quan and Qin Dingyu, had returned.

However, compared to the carefree and elegant manner he had when he first entered, Sun Quan’s aura seemed a little dispirited at this moment, and he also had many injuries on his body.

Qin Dingyu’s expression and aura did not change much. There was a slight smile on his face as if everything was under control.

Sun Quan turned around and looked at the Strange Wind Realm. He saw that the ripple at the entrance had started to tremble violently from the slight fluctuation just now. In just a moment, it turned into a phantom and disappeared.

All the disciples were stunned and looked up at Sun Quan and the other two.

“The Strange Wind Realm has been shattered. This mission is over. I’ll close up for two hours and return to the sect after two hours.” Sun Quan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

Some of the older disciples had some doubts in their eyes. They had experienced other Strange Wind Realms before, and very few of them would shatter so quickly. After killing the Evil King, the Strange Wind Realm could actually continue to develop for a period of time.

However, when he thought about how many things had happened in the Strange Wind Realm, it was not unacceptable for it to shatter.

Only the new disciples thought that this was the inevitable result of the Strange Wind Realm after the Strange King was killed.

“This time, the gains do not make up for the losses.”

Sun Quan walked to the side and sighed. The Evil King had been killed, but so many of his disciples had died. No matter how one looked at it, it was a huge loss.

“The path of martial arts cultivation is filled with thorns. How can there be anything complete?”

Qin Dingyu shook his head. He flipped his right hand and looked at a jade fragment in his hand. “It’s not that we didn’t get anything. That person was swallowed by the Evil King. I didn’t expect that after the Evil King died, he would leave behind such a thing. There must be a deep connection between that person and the Evil King in the past.”

“The cultivation technique left in this jade slip is not bad?” Sun Quan asked.

ii

It’s alright. In a desperate situation, it can transform itself into a semi-evil form. That person could be considered a genius. After becoming a half-monster, he had also researched more than half of how to transform into a human body.”

Qin Dingyu nodded and continued, “Although it’s incomplete and has many flaws, it’s still a good cultivation technique.”

Sun Quan’s expression changed slightly. Sun Quan would never do something like turning a person into a half-monster. However, if there was hope of turning from a half-monster to a human, then this cultivation technique would be interesting.

“After returning to report to the sect master, let the other elders evaluate it together. If it can be continued to be perfected, its life-preservation ability will increase greatly,” Qin Dingyu said with a smile.

Sun Quan didn’t say anything. He nodded slightly and turned to look at the disciples in the camp. There were more than 100 people when they came, but now there were only 30 to 40 people left.

Sometimes, in the cultivation of martial arts, misfortune and fortune accompanied each other.

Two hours later, the camp was dismissed. Everyone boarded the carriage and began to return to the sect.

“Junior Brother Mu, you sit beside me. I’ll sit here to enjoy the scenery.”

Zhang Fangqiong glanced at Mu Langtao who was beside Chen Fei and said with a smile.

“Alright, Senior Sister, please sit.” Mu Langtao didn’t suspect anything and quickly stood up to give up his seat.

Chen Fei felt a soft body sitting at the side. A faint body fragrance floated into his nose. Chen Fei subconsciously moved his nose. It smelled good.

Zhang Fangqiong did not disturb Chen Fei. She only occasionally looked at the scene outside the carriage and occasionally glanced at Chen Fei’s side profile. There was always a faint smile on her face.

Chen Fei didn’t notice much and was instead sitting cross-legged, cultivating the Origin Connection Technique.

In the few days that he had been in the Strange Wind Realm, Chen Fei only had time to cultivate at night. Fortunately, he only needed to increase his proficiency in the Tranquil Origin Technique and Origin Connection Technique. There were no other techniques that took up his time.

As a result, the increase in proficiency of these two cultivation techniques was quite gratifying. He had already completed more than half of the fifth level of the Origin Connection Technique. Chen Fei estimated that he would be able to complete the fifth level of the Origin Connection Technique in another twenty days or so.

At that time, not only would he be able to awaken the martial art’s characteristic, Iron Bones, but Chen Fei’s cultivation speed would also increase by another level.

After cultivating the Tranquil Origin Technique, which focused on cultivating the core soul energy for such a long time, he had already crossed the Perfection Stage and was currently advancing toward Great Completion.

As he continued to cultivate the Tranquil Origin Technique, Chen Fei could vaguely feel his mental strength growing.

Before reaching the aperture tempering realm, the growth of mental strength was slow and difficult. Chen Fei was able to raise his mental strength at the Marrow Tempering realm. He was already ahead of many martial artists.

The core soul energy was the key to breaking through to the Aperture Tempering realm in the future. Chen Fei planned to wait for the Tranquil Origin Technique to break through to the great circle, then find some opportunities to earn some contribution points to exchange for the Heart Locking Technique.

When the two cultivation techniques were combined, his mental strength would be able to grow while being pure. It could be considered as paving the way for his future cultivation.

Time passed very quickly during cultivation. 10 hours passed in the blink of an eye. By the time everyone returned to the sect, the sun had already set.

Even so, there were still many people in the sect who welcomed them back.

However, when everyone got out of the car one after another, many of the disciples who were welcoming them could not help but reveal a look of surprise on their faces. This was because they realized that many people had not returned.

Going to the Strange Wind Realm was an extremely dangerous activity, but those who went this time were at least at the Marrow Tempering realm and above, and there were also quite a number of Visceral Tempering realm martial artists.

Thus, even if there were casualties, they shouldn’t have lost so many people.

After confirming that only so many people had returned, some suppressed cries began to sound.

Many of the disciples in the sect were already married. Their families usually lived in the Immortal Cloud City. However, when they knew that their families had returned, they ran to the Primordial Sword Sect to welcome them, only to receive such news.

“Little Junior Brother!”

When Guo Linshan saw Chen Fei’s figure, his face revealed a look of joy. He was really worried that Chen Fei would not be able to return. After all, Chen Fei’s cultivation was too low. Going there when one was in the Bone Tempering Realm to the Strange Wind Realm was no different from jumping into a fire pit.

“Senior Brother Guo, Master!” Chen Fei looked at Feng Xiupu’s group and cupped his hands in greeting.

Seeing that Chen Fei was safe and sound, Feng Xiupu nodded slightly. Then, he sensed the change in Chen Fei’s aura and realized that he had actually broken through to the Marrow Tempering realm.

Feng Xiupu’s eyes lit up slightly. Not only did he return safely from the Strange Wind Realm, but his cultivation had also increased by one level. This Strange Wind Realm was simply training to Chen Fei.

“Little Junior Brother, you’ve reached the Marrow Tempering realm?” Guo Linshan also noticed the change in Chen Fei’s aura and happily patted Chen Fei’s shoulder.

“I broke through by luck.”

Chen Fei said with a smile. He gestured to Ge Hongjie and the other two behind him with his right hand and said, “Thanks to the care of my three senior brothers and sisters, I was able to return safely this time.”

“Junior Brother Chen, you’re too kind.” Ge Hongjie hurriedly waved his hand.

“I even took advantage of you.” Mu Langtao smiled.

The few of them chatted for a while more before Ge Hongjie and the other two left. Chen Fei also returned to his own house. At the same time, he used a messenger pigeon to inform Chi Defeng that he had returned.

Chen Fei had always remembered that he owed his master fifty thousand taels of silver, so he naturally had to work hard to refine pills to repay the debt. According to the current income level, it would probably take more than a month to return the money.

Moreover, Chen Fei still wanted to save up some silver in the interface for emergencies. This time, in the Strange Wind Realm, Chen Fei was really afraid that he would go crazy if he did not have enough money on the interface.

He had to save more money and cultivate diligently so that he could reach the Visceral Tempering realm as soon as possible.

Early the next morning, Chi Defeng came to Chen Fei with a big bag of herbs.

“After reading the letter you sent me last night, 1 finally felt a little relieved.” Chi Defeng saw that Chen Fei didn’t look like he was missing an arm or a leg and couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

Chi Defeng also understood the Strange Wind Realm and knew that it was dangerous. It was not a place that ordinary martial artists could go.

“How’s the investigation of the ingredients for the Flying Ascent Pill going?”

Chen Fei poured a cup of tea for Chi Defeng and asked with a smile.

“I’ve asked around. The situation isn’t very good.”

Hearing Chen Fei’s question, Chi Defeng frowned slightly and said, “Those aged herbs have been blocked by those shops. At most, 1 can only buy a few in bits and pieces. I can’t supply them in large quantities like now.”

Chen Fei nodded slightly, not surprised.

Medicinal herbs to make the Eternal Floating Pill wasn’t so common that they covered the entire mountain, but they were not very rare either. One could still buy them with some money. However, the Flying Ascent Pill had to be refined with aged medicinal herbs. Otherwise, it would not be able to form a pill.

The Immortal Cloud City had operated for so many years, and many benefits had already been distributed. The medicinal ingredients for the Flying Ascent Pill were naturally the same.

“Can I buy these medicinal ingredients in the Alchemist Alliance?”

“Yes, but you need to provide contribution points.” Chi Defeng nodded.

Chen Fei rubbed his chin. This kind of exchange probably had a high requirement for contribution points. Chen Fei currently had some contribution points from the Alchemist Alliance, but it was not realistic for him to exchange medicinal herbs for a long time unless he kept doing missions for the Alchemist Alliance.

However, if that was really the case, it would definitely affect Chen Fei’s own cultivation.

“In the Alchemist Guild, are there any missions that are better recently?” Chen Fei raised his head and asked.

Chen Fei always asked Chi Defeng to help observe and pay attention to any good missions. After all, the identity of an alchemist was still very useful.

“Recently, there was a mission that had a huge impact. I heard that many pill refiners accepted it.” Chi Defeng recalled and nodded.

“What mission?” Chen Fei asked curiously.

“To improve the Flying Ascent Pill.”

“Improve the Flying Ascent Pill?” Chen Fei could not help but be startled. There was nothing wrong with the Flying Ascent Pill. Its medicinal effects were much higher than the Eternal Floating Pill. Moreover, after so many years of development, the refining method had also been refined many times.

“1 heard that the Alliance felt that the age requirement of the medicinal herbs for the Flying Ascent Pill was too high and wanted to find an alternative method. Could it be that they could not use so many aged medicinal herbs and refine a pill that was stronger than the Eternal Floating Pill?”

Chen Fei’s expression changed slightly. This starting point was very good. Compared to the Eternal Floating Pill and the Light Spirit Pill, the medicinal herbs were easy to grow, greatly satisfying the needs of many martial artists.

On the other hand, although the effects of the Flying Ascent Pill were much stronger, its price also soared. The reason was that the age requirement of the medicinal ingredients was too high.

“What is the reward for this mission?”Chen Fei asked..
