Chapter 112: 112, [Mysterious Cultivation Technique] (Third update, extra 6/33)
Translator: 549690339
In the bamboo forest behind the hill, everyone except Lu Xun himself was concerned about his constitution and Qi Sea problems.
But he himself wasn’t too worried.
Since he knew that his progress relied on Experience Points, fundamentally, it didn’t matter what he learned. He didn’t have any weaknesses as long as he had enough Experience Points to use. Any Cultivation Technique could be accumulated!
Therefore, though Mao Nanbei, the little kitten, was almost bouncing around in anxiety, Lu Xun remained as still as a mountain and steady as an old dog.
For him, as long as the technique was advanced enough, that was all that mattered. He was not picky about the attributes of the technique.
If he were playing a game now, he might choose carefully. After all, if the attributes were different… the “Special Effect” would be different too!
Players do care about whether their battle effects are cool or not.
However, Lu Xun was genuinely living in this world. His primary concern was whether he was strong or not!
Strength was the most important thing; whether the special effects were cool or not was secondary. After all, he was already handsome enough.
But since the gentleman stated that he had a solution, even though Lu Xun didn’t care much, he was somewhat curious.
Thus, he started listening attentively.
The gentleman looked up at the moon and spoke leisurely, “Lu Xun, you are my fifth disciple, so I’ll call you Little Five. You have two choices now.”
“First, you could pick a peak Cultivation Technique you fancy. You can go and familiarize yourself with the Transmission Tower of the Demon Sect. You are free to choose any technique from the top floor.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xun was overjoyed.
As one of the three great Demon Sects, the Demon Sect might not have as profound a foundation as other great factions, but it did have numerous peak-level Cultivation Techniques.
The gentleman had traveled the Cultivation World for years. There were countless techniques he had stored in the Transmission Tower, including some Purple Level Techniques!
Therefore, for Lu Xun at present, the Transmission Tower was indeed a wonderful place.
Ordinary players, upon reaching Level 10, are required to undergo the Sect’s assessment. Only those who excel in the assessment are qualified to learn techniques from the higher or top floors of the Transmission Tower.
But Lu Xun was different, and so was his treatment. Of course, no one doubted his ability to pass the assessment! It’s just that he could skip the process.
However, if he’s going to go to the Transmission Tower, he would definitely choose to go through the process, ostensibly to reject special privileges and set an example for the disciples, but in reality, because it would get him Experience Points.
At the same time, he could also show off his strength in front of his fellow disciples and earn “Reputation Value”!
He was quite attracted to this choice, but he didn’t show much emotion on his face as he waited for the gentleman to present the second option.
“The second choice is to practice a Five Elements Cultivation Method,” the gentleman said.
The so-called Five Elements Cultivation Method means the cultivation of all Five Elements.
Upon hearing this, Mao Nanbei couldn’t sit still. She immediately said, “Ah? A
Five Elements Cultivation Method, isn’t that the worst technique?”
Just like Lu Xun’s balanced Five Elements constitution, a Five Elements
Cultivation Method is a comprehensive cultivation of all Five Elements.
It might seem impressive, but it actually doesn’t have any advantages. And if there are no advantages, then all Five Elements are weaknesses.
Therefore, some Cultivators even mock the so-called “Five Poisons Complete” for such a comprehensive cultivation of Five Elements.
Normally, the worst sect would give this kind of technique for their disciples to practice because anyone who has the qualifications for cultivation can learn it.
The gentleman gave Mao Nanbei a look. She seemed even more anxious than Lu Xun. When did this little girl become so caring?
Just because he is good-looking?
No. that can’t be right. she’s just a child over a hundred years old. it shouldn’t be this way.
After snapping out of his thoughts, the gentleman smiled and said to Mao Nanbei, “Little Nanbei, you’re still so impulsive! Your master hasn’t finished speaking. ”
“Oh!” Mao Nanbei quietly sat down by Lu Xun’s side, no longer speaking.
The gentleman continued, “This Five Elements Cultivation Method is slightly different from those coasting through the mainland. Little Five, if you choose this path, you will understand its difference in the future.”
Lu Xun, ‘ .
Just as expected, prodigies always leave their sentences half-finished.
But when he remembered how he used to speak in the same way when conversing with MO Guanji, he suddenly didn’t know how to retort.
Fortunately, at this moment, another person stood up to speak!
“Mentor, can’t you just say where exactly it’s different?” Mao Nanbei stood up and said.
I, Mao Duxiu, will never stand down!
Excellent! Assured by the fact that her family have been spoiling her, she courageously decided to speak up for Lu Nun!
“Well done! Feeding you well was definitely worth it!” Lu Xun thought to himself.
At this moment, Mao Nanbei looked so adorable in his eyes. He really wanted to give her a round of kiss hug lift in the air!
The corners of the gentleman’s mouth twitched slightly, but he does dote on Mao Nanbei quite a bit so he wasn’t angry. After a seemingly deliberate cough, he opened his mouth and said, ” If you practice this technique, your spiritual energy capacity will be larger than others, but at the same time, because it’s a Five Elements Cultivation, the time it takes will be several times that of others.”
Lu Xun understood right away that this seemed to be a technique that was hard to get promoted through, but would most likely be unbeatable when compared with others of the same level.
Such a technique exists in the world!?
It’s tempting!
“Anyway, it’s not like I’m using my own time for cultivation, so it really doesn’t matter.” Lu Xun thought to himself.
He had never heard of this technique in his previous life. Even though he suspected his master wouldn’t set him up, he still wanted to ask a few more questions, looking for any real-world examples.
After all, this was a very important matter, and it was better to be cautious.
“Master, I’d like to ask if anyone has ever cultivated to a high level using this
technique?” He asked.
“Yes there is.” The master responded without any hesitation.
Lu Xun nodded and continued to ask, “Was this person…strong?”
Everyone present laughed at his question, but they all understood him.
“Very strong.” the master answered with certainty. He even added two words afterward: “Extremely!”
By this time, Lu Xun had already made his decision in his heart.
Who is the master? When he said someone was strong, incredibly strong, it had to mean Otherworldly Level!
Keep in mind that Sect Master Shen Yan, a powerful figure at the eighth level, could only be deemed “decent” by the master.
Lu Xun wondered who the person the master was talking about could be?
But since there were precedents of people cultivating to this extent with this seemingly unreliable technique, it shows that the technique must actually be quite reliable.
Yet, Lu Xun was not impulsive. He tested the waters and asked, “I am more inclined towards the second choice, but I don’t know… Can I take a look at the technique first?”
He definitely wouldn’t understand it, but the system would provide prompts!
Let’s take a look at the basic information about the technique first.
“That’s right, take a look first, don’t rush to make a decision!” Mao Nanbei chimed in from the side. She was particularly adorable that day.
She was actually worried that Lu Xun, being a novice in cultivation, would rush to make the decision.
After all, this is a decision that would impact his lifetime.
On hearing this, the corner of the master’s mouth twitched imperceptibly.
He waved his right hand, which was held in the shape of an orchid, and a booklet appeared in his hand, which he then passed to Lu Xun.
Unexpectedly, the master didn’t keep this technique in the Transmission
Tower, but carried it with him at all times. So, it was clearly not common.
There was no name for the technique recorded on the booklet, and even the system’s prompt of basic information didn’t include one; this was a Nameless Technique.
The most amazing thing was, according to the system’s prompt, this technique consisted of two stages: before character level 50, the technique level was
Purple Level, and after character level 50, it was an Orange Level Technique! “Orange Level Technique! It’s actually an Orange Level Technique!” Lu Xun was blown away by the revelation.
In its history, “Heavenly Dust” had never heard of a player cultivating an Orange Level Technique!
Even though it only counts as Orange Level after reaching level 50, it’s still an Orange Level Technique!
I’ll learn it! I’ve decided!
Lu Xun made up his mind immediately.
After pretending to flip through a few more pages, he closed the booklet and said to his master, “Master, I’ve chosen this one!”
“Are you sure?” the master asked.
Lu Xun nodded firmly.
The master gave him a smile, the first time he had ever done so.
On the face of the ordinarily looking master, with a gentle smile, he said to Lu Xun:
“This technique takes a lot of time and effort. I think it would be best for you to find a secluded place on the mountain to close yourself off and cultivate in peace. What do you think?”
Lu Xun:
Actually, the master was quite satisfied with Lu Xun, who was pretty good in all aspects, except for his looks which upset people.
So, Little Five, as long as you don’t appear before me, you’ll always be my beloved disciple.
Go and seclude yourself for cultivation ASAP!
