Chapter 244: Qualities of the Body

Sister Nuan looks at me with some confusion, on why Im not grabbing the items before us.

Soon enough, she seems to have some understanding. But what Im actually doing is just scanning some of these lightly to find out what they do.

Knowledge is power, after all.

She speaks softly and with a surprising amount of personal compassion.

I am still your master, you know. I wouldnt have you heal people who would forget favors. Especially ones as heavy as this is.

Theyll look out for you and will treat you like their own.

She looks away for a bit.

They did the same for me when I was working through things. One of the few who actually cared, other than D Big Brother Gu.

She pauses and seems to take a moment to recollect herself.

But enough of that. We have much to do and not much time. Even more so, when considering that you still have to grab your future servants.

Here.

The first thing she grabs is the two jade slips I had noticed earlier.

These are the personal techniques and body cultivation methods from Elder Li. Hes passing them down to you to use and share with your followers.

My eyes automatically shift over to Elder Li in shock.

Hes looking sagely off into the distance.

but my scan reveals he was watching us intently just seconds before to catch my reaction.

Sister Nuan has her fingers on her temple, as with her level, she can easily see all of this.

Despite how he may seem, his methods and techniques are of a high class. In particular, is his body cultivation method should be particularly useful, considering that you are a healer.

Wow these guys are actually really trying to support me. No one just gives their techniques and methods over like that. Especially if they are of a high quality.

There has to be a catch, right?

And not only that, but I dont believe I can practice body cultivation methods, as I already having the healing one

At this thought, I know the apprehension has shown in my subconscious and I can sense Elder Li looking even farther away now.

Sister Nuan fills the gap.

It makes sense that you wouldnt know, as it is a pretty well-kept secret from the public. There are hidden depths to the realms of body cultivation.

Standard Body Cultivation. Helps to improve the spirit root and is the basis for start your normal cultivation journey strong. Not a cultivation method, but more like honing/purifying your body. Body-focused Cultivation Methods Actual cultivation method, focused on using qi to enhance the body in a variety of different ways. All the qi in the body is focused on using this as a cultivation method. True Body Cultivation Methods This is where body cultivation is used as a separate form of progression from normal qi cultivation. With this, qi in the body is split unequally between the normal cultivation and the user's body cultivation method. Depending on the normal cultivation method, is can go significantly either way. For this balance to work, the body cultivation method has to be paired with specific normal cultivation methods. Standalone Body Cultivation Methods Similar to True Body Methods, but can be used with almost any cultivation method. Has a straight 50/50 distribution of qi to both the normal cultivation method and body cultivation method. Symbiotic Body Cultivation Methods Practicing cultivation increases the efficacy of body cultivation. Practicing body cultivation increases efficacy of cultivation. Enhances the use of qi for both. More effective with certain methods, but can be used with any method.

The others have stopped mulling around and have approached as well. Master Ming nods in affirmation while opening his mouth.

Admittedly, I was much more stubborn than Senior Tian was over here. I refused to change from my personal body cultivation method, believing it capable of reaching greater heights than his. Especially, since it specializes in such unconventional ways.

I feel my ears prick up at this turn of phrase.

Unconventional methods are the bane of a normal cultivators existence but for someone like me who can parse through them with my scan, can be a godsend. Even my healing cultivation method would be absolute hell for even genius cultivators to understand. Only my scan and the way I received the method helped me to understand it in a deeper way.

Elder Li solidifies my decision with his next words.

As you might know, my moniker is the Speedy Tortoise. No one can break through my defenses and there isnt a situation that I cant escape with my combat techniques and body cultivation method. They work together. It also provides slight resistance to curses, poisons, and other effects.

Master Ming makes a pained look before continuing.

While they couldnt save me from the curse, it wasnt the fault of them, but my own decisions. Ones that I still regret.

He goes silent at this, in contemplation. He soon speaks back up.

The slips have dense information and I dont plan on giving it piecemeal. Everything I currently have done and plan to do with it is in there. Im still expecting you to check in regarding how it works in practice, though.

He steps back, though I certainly still have questions for him.

But they move on to the next two items, two jade slips.

Sister Nuan holds it up for me to see. I have a suspicion of what they are based on what Elder Li gave me.

As you can guess, these are the techniques from both Master Ming and Senior Tian. From Master Ming, it is his contract creation technique and from Senior Tian, it is a combination of his talisman and formation creation techniques. These will take some time to look through, so I will have things set up for you later, back at your tower.

If one of your servants wishes to learn contract cultivation methods, you can send them to him, as there are ways to make the process absurdly easier with a dedicated method.

Her gaze changes over to the other items.

Here are some talismans youll be using.

She quickly reviews the various categories of talismans and how to activate them.

I want you to take these talismans with you now. The other items Ill also set up back in the tower for us to go over later.

She quickly takes all the items into her sleeve.

A slight suspicion that she might grab some of it crosses my mind, but is quickly dismissed. There are so many other ways she could do something and could have already.

But Ive memorized the amount and general aspect of the items, just in case.

All good things come to an end, though, and we part ways with Sister Nuan and I leaving to head to the tester housing area.

Where everyone should be waiting.
