Upon hearing the requirement of a hundred merit points, Elder Han could not help but feel a tinge of regret, “Oh, what a pity. This technique once required thousands of points to learn within the inner sect. Now, it’s not even attracting any attention, and its value has dropped to just a hundred points. If you have spare time and enough merit points, you might try learning it.”
Lin Yi understood the implication in Elder Han’s words, showed respect with a bowing fist, and then asked, “Elder Liu, I have some interest in the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind. Could you share the general practice method for it?”
He decided to first understand the cultivation method of this Wind Transformation Technique, to see if it indeed suited his body-refining techniques needs.
Elder Liu was well prepared, and took out a small book from his storage bag, “This is the general cultivation method. As Brother Han has already explained, this technique is extremely difficult to master. You need to think it over.”
“Moreover, the cultivation method is somewhat unique. It requires you to draw wind into your body and refine the flesh. The process will be somewhat painful, and in the end, it could all be in vain.”
Lin Yi took the booklet and flipped through it. His expression subtly changed. It required finding a perfect wind vent to allow his body to accept the baptism of the wind.
There were also Elder Liu’s notes indicating that willingly cutting open your skin at specific acupuncture points was said to enhance the effect of drawing in the wind, but also needed supplementation with monster beast meat to enhance the blood vigor.
As expected, refining the body is all about self-torment. If it was only these, he could accept it. What he was really worried about was whether such an odd cultivation method could truly draw wind into the body to refine it.
“Alright, you guys chat. Junior Brother Liu, here are the Scripture Jade Slips you requested. Keep them safe.” At this point, Elder Han placed several jade slips on the table and then turned to leave.
Lin Yi respectfully watched Elder Han’s departing figure, he then turned and said, “Elder Liu, I’ve made up my mind. I will learn the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind.”
“Good, I admire disciples like you with an adventurous spirit. Go ahead and learn it then.” Seemingly fearful of Lin Yi having second thoughts, Elder Liu immediately placed the identity token on the jade mirror, deducting a hundred merit points and then took out an ancient Scripture Jade Slip.
Lin Yi muttered silently to himself, ‘Adventurous spirit? What’s that? I play things safe. Were it not for the presence of the title system, I definitely wouldn’t study such a cultivation method that so many people can’t even master.’
Elder Liu gazed at the jade slip in his hand, lightly running his fingers across it and sighed, “Ah, this jade slip was left by our sect’s ancestor, Liu Yun. Since no one has been able to successfully master this technique, it has become impossible to make new Scripture Jade Slips.”
“So many years have passed, this Scripture Jade Slip, I estimate it can only pass down the method a few dozen more times before turning into ashes. The inner sect disciples don’t want to waste time on it, so I can only look for talented disciples in the outer sect.”
After saying this, he carefully handed the Scripture Jade Slip to Lin Yi, “Please cherish this opportunity to learn, practice diligently and strive to master this technique. Let this body refinement method, created by our ancestor, shine brightly.”
“Thank you, Elder Liu, I will.” Lin Yi nodded and then placed the jade slip on his forehead. When his spiritual power was ignited, the cultivation method of the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind poured into his mind. It was a complete technique with ten realms.
However, he could only see the first three realms. The others seemed to be automatically sealed. They would most likely be unlocked along with the improvement of his body refinement realm, automatically showing the cultivation method for the next realm. No wonder copying it was impossible.
The cultivation outline in the beginning explained the origin of this technique. Although the Nine Transformations of Liu Yun were unpredictable and baffle enemies, they couldn’t truly mimic the natural and lively movements of flowing clouds drifting in the wind. Hence, Liu Yun ancestor, based on his comprehension of the wind, spent nearly a hundred years creating and perfecting this Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind.
The moment the transmission of the cultivation technique was completed, a popup appeared before his eyes, “[Art of Flowing Clouds and Wind]
(Unactivated)”.
Lin Yi kept his facial expression calm, but inside, doubt welled up. Why was it in an unactivated status? When he learned the Mysterious Light Armor and Wind Law before, both experiences were immediately +1, directly entering the initial level.
Could it be that this technique was special and required enlightenment to activate the first level of the entrance?
However, since it was shown on the title panel, it means that this is a
legitimate cultivation technique and not a sham.
He opened the title panel and sure enough, he saw the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind listed under the Cultivation Techniques column, rather than under Spell Techniques.
As Elder Liu returned the jade slip, he held it with both hands, fearing that the jade slip might accidentally fall, “Hey, careful, this is the only Scripture Jade Slip left behind by the ancestor for the Wind Transformation Technique.”
After placing the jade slip properly, Elder Liu smiled and asked, “Did I not deceive you? Did you feel the subtlety of this technique?”
“This Wind Transformation Technique is indeed profound. Thank you, Elder Liu,” Lin Yi said with a fist salute. The Body Refining Martial Arts Vajra Jue he had learned before could not be compared to this Wind Transformation Technique at all. The differences were immensely vast, from the functioning of the techniques to the results of body refinement, just like immortal and mortal.
Elder Liu waved his hand, a gentle smile on his face, “No need to be polite, your ability to grasp the basics of Wind Transformation is the greatest thanks to me.”
Suddenly, his tone shifted, “In the past, to practice this Wind Transformation Technique, some seniors from the Inner Sect Pill Hall, based on the insights left behind by the Ancestor during his cultivation, used a variety of spiritual medicines that have been exposed to the wind for many years to create the Liu Yun Ointment as an aid for cultivation.
“This ointment can help you to better perceive the existence of the wind and increase your chances of mastering the basic. I still have a little left. I will give you two bottles so you can try it.” As he spoke, he took out two porcelain bottles from his storage bag and placed them on the table.
Lin Yi suddenly had a bad premonition, “May I ask Elder Liu, what if I want to keep using it afterward?”
“Ahem, you know, spiritual medicines also have their costs, one bottle costs two spirit stones, merit points cannot be used.” Elder Liu gave an honest smile.
It seemed as if he had fallen into some kind of trap. Lin Yi felt a familiar feeling, sell something to you cheaply first, and then charge a lot for maintenance afterward. If Elder Liu dared to let himself try it, there must be some effect.
The Elder Han just now, could it be that he’s collaborating with Elder Liu for this act?
After thinking for a moment, he thought he might as well give this Wind
Transformation Technique a go. He had already reached the Great Achievement Level in his wind technique, and he had a certain perception of the wind. Therefore, with the help of the title system, it should not be a problem to get started.
“Thank you, Elder Liu. I’ll give it a try then.” Lin Yi took the two bottles, opened them, and took a sniff. It had a refreshing fragrance which seemed quite good.
“You still have three hundred merit points. Would you like to exchange it for a technique or a spell?” At this point, Elder Liu looked at Lin Yi’s remaining points and asked enthusiastically.
“No need, I’ll just practice this Wind Transformation Technique for now.” Lin Yi promptly shook his head. With his mind full of doubts now, he thought it would be better to calm down a bit.
Elder Liu returned the token to Lin Yi with a sincere face, “Good, I wish you to master it soon.”
He then motioned for Lin Yi to come closer, “Let me give you another hand. Come closer with your ear, and I’ll tell you the ideal place for refining wind in the Outer Sect.”
After learning about the suitable cultivation location, Lin Yi once again saluted and walked out. He saw the next disciple came in, “What techniques do you want to exchange? Body refinement Oh, your main element is fire, that’s great, the wind aiding the fire, you are most suitable to practice the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind created by our Ancestor Liu Yun…”
As he heard the vaguely familiar words, Lin Yi felt a sense of unease. Is this the jade slip that can only pass down the technique a few dozen times? Is it for finding some talented disciples? Oh, the tricks of cultivation are too many, I want to return to Earth..
