Chapter 36: That Unparalleled Confidence
Tang San’s eyes lit up, and he nodded, strongly agreeing with Bai Yu’s words.
“Bai Ge is right. As long as a person without spirit power consumes a heavenly treasure, and someone helps him refine it into spirit power, he can then circulate a cultivation technique to open up meridians and become a Spirit Master!”
Everyone’s gaze turned to Tang San, causing his expression to change. He secretly thought, “Oh no, I let it slip!”
Yu Xiaogang, even more shamelessly, opened his mouth and asked.
“Little San, you also know about cultivation techniques?”
Hearing Yu Xiaogang’s question, Tang San’s expression darkened, and then he remained silent.
Bai Yu saw Bie San’s expression and grinned, but immediately held it back because Ah Yin was tightening her grip on him again.
Ah Yin’s mood was complex now. She knew Tang Hao had some self-created Spirit Abilities, but definitely no cultivation techniques. So where did Tang San get his cultivation technique from?
Bai Yu, feeling a bit of pain from the tightening, couldn’t help but cough, and continued:
“Of course he knows. There are also traces of a cultivation technique circulating within him, different from the meditation methods cultivated by ordinary Spirit Masters. So he also has a cultivation technique.”
“Meditation methods circulate within existing meridians to increase spirit power. Cultivation techniques open up new meridians, absorbing power from the outside World, and circulate to increase spirit power more quickly. This is the difference between the two!”
Everyone looked at Tang San, their eyes filled with surprise. They hadn’t expected Tang San to also have a cultivation technique?
Tang San was somewhat annoyed, exposed just like that by Bai Yu? But then it turned into helplessness, because he was the one who first asked how to cultivate quickly, so he couldn’t blame Bai Yu for being exposed.
Yu Xiaogang felt that this cultivation technique could definitely help him break through, so he wanted it, his zombie-like face even turning a bit red with eagerness.
He hurriedly asked Bai Yu and Tang San:
“Then how does one cultivate this technique? Or rather, how does one create a cultivation technique?”
Tang San heard his damned teacher ask this question, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. He thought to himself, “You want a cultivation technique? You even want to create one? Why don’t you just fly?”
Bai Yu also chuckled:
“Heh, don’t even think about cultivation techniques; no one will pass them on. As for creating one? You can try that, but the process might be a bit unsightly. At best, you’ll be disabled; at worst, you’ll die!”
At the same time, Bai Yu was darkly thinking to himself:
“Go ahead and create it. I can see the power of heaven and earth, and I have traction movements that allow me to stop at any time, yet I still get injured constantly. As for you, go create it! One creation, one silence!”
Seeing Yu Xiaogang somewhat hesitant, Bai Yu quickly comforted him:
“But aren’t you a theoretical Grandmaster? You can certainly give it a try, maybe you’ll succeed?”
Tang San looked at Bai Yu with a strange gaze, thinking to himself, “In my previous life, for any cultivation technique that emerged, besides those exceptionally talented individuals who had insights into heaven and earth, didn’t quite a few creators die?”
He then turned to look at Yu Xiaogang, “Can this teacher of mine be considered exceptionally talented? Is this guy Bai Yu trying to trick him to his death?”
Yu Xiaogang’s expression shifted. He felt it made sense, nodded, and said:
“Hmm, you’re right. Since cultivation techniques can be created, I really should give it a try!”
Tang San’s facial muscles twitched. He secretly thought that this Yu Xiaogang was courting death, completely clueless.
Immediately, his expression calmed down. He thought, “Go ahead and create it. If you succeed, I’ll take it to cultivate. If you don’t, and you die, it saves me the trouble. Very secure!”
Flender grew anxious. “You can’t do that, my Gang Zi!”
He quickly spoke up to persuade him: “Xiaogang, Bai Xiaozi already said that creating a cultivation technique is very dangerous! You mustn’t try it!”
Yu Xiaogang waved his hand and said confidently, “No need to say more. Since the ancients could create cultivation techniques, I can do it too!”
Bai Yu wished he could applaud Gang Zi. “Good! I love your confidence. Keep it up!”
Then Yu Xiaogang remembered what Bai Yu had said earlier, that there seemed to be other ways to open up meridians, so he continued to question him.
“Bai Yu, you just said that besides cultivation techniques, self-created Spirit Abilities and external Spirit Bones can also open up meridians?”
Bai Yu nodded. Since he had already talked about cultivation techniques, he didn’t care about these two questions and said casually:
“Yes, self-created Spirit Abilities are the specific application of spirit power. They cannot be released directly like a spirit ring; they require opening up some tiny meridians and releasing them through the hands, feet, or even the five senses.”
“This part of the meridians doesn’t involve cultivation speed, or rather, the improvement is very small. Of course, there are also self-created Spirit Abilities that don’t require opening up additional meridians.”
“For example, the spirit power ball I just demonstrated, condensing spirit power in the hand, everyone can do it; it only requires control.”
“Only” a control! Everyone didn’t know what to say, grumbling in their hearts that such control was practically soaring, not as simple as he made it sound.
“As for external Spirit Bones, they are easier to understand. When they completely merge with the body, they directly open up a meridian in the body, used for the connection between the Spirit Bone and the body.”
“Therefore, they are different from normal Spirit Bones. If the owner dies, the external Spirit Bone will also shatter and disappear; it won’t exist.”
Everyone had a look of sudden realization. So that’s what an external Spirit Bone was, which meant there was no way to kill someone to seize it!
It must be said, a World where cultivation exists is truly different. The first thought upon hearing about a treasure is to kill someone to seize it!
Bai Yu looked at everyone deep in thought, smacked his lips, and said:
“Alright Grandmaster, I’ve answered your questions. I should go back and rest; my mouth is dry.”
Seeing Bai Yu turn to leave, Oscar hurriedly asked:
“Bai Ge, since your cultivation technique isn’t passed on, can I join the force behind you? If I join, will I be able to learn it?”
Bai Yu waved his hand behind him: “Yes, but let’s talk about it after you graduate.”
Back in the dormitory, Bai Yu had just taken a sip of water when he heard Ah Yin’s voice in his ear.
“Bai Yu, can cultivation techniques really be created by oneself? Also, how many people on the continent possess cultivation techniques?”
Bai Yu’s hand holding the water cup paused. He said to the complex-minded Ah Yin:
“They can be created, provided one has insights into heaven and earth. The human body is a small heaven and earth. Unlike self-created Spirit Abilities, a cultivation technique requires the human body’s small heaven and earth to cooperate with the outside great heaven and earth to be considered successful!”
“Otherwise, one will suffer a deviation and then die. As for how many people possess cultivation techniques, besides the force behind me, currently only Tang San is known.”
Ah Yin said nothing, merely tightening the grass blade around Bai Yu’s waist, making him grimace in pain.
“I say, what you’re doing isn’t right. You’re upset about your son being gone, but you can’t take it out on me, can you?”
Ah Yin ignored his complaints. Ah Yin was still pulling harder!
He turned and lay on the bed, muttering, “Tighten it, tighten me to death, let you know the pain of murdering your own husband!”
Bai Yu’s expression was ferocious. He no longer paid attention to the even more forceful Ah Yin and began to write in the Chronicle of Light and Shadow.
“It’s been a week since I left, and I’m finally back. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I found that Gang Zi, this Grandmaster, had also come. I observed him carefully, and he’s just average.”
“His appearance is ordinary, and he’s always putting on airs. My teacher and Liu Erlong are indeed worthy of competing for the title of Blind Eye God King. I want to ask, what’s so good about him?”
