Cultivation: I have an omnipotent land

Chapter 81 The Transmission of Power Manual, Volume 1

Xiao Ming walked up to a fourth-stage spiritual plant that was nurturing a spirit stone and began to examine it closely.

Compared to before, this shrub-stage spiritual plant has grown noticeably taller by another foot, its trunk has become thicker, and the number of low-grade spirit stones that have formed among its branches and leaves has doubled.

Xiao Ming then looked at the five or six spiritual plants next to him, all of which had grown to the fourth stage of shrub growth.

This surprised Xiao Ming. These low-grade spirit stones were cultivated by Xiao Ming over the past few years. Some of them were even induced to grow to the fourth stage shrub stage by Xiao Ming using mid-grade spirit stones. However, there should still be one or two plants that are stuck in the third stage fruiting stage.

However, now that these spiritual plants have all grown to the fourth stage, Xiao Ming looked elsewhere and similar changes were also happening to other spiritual plants.

For example, the Spirit Plant that had been stuck at stage three has now transformed into stage four.

In other words, after he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, even without using special nutrients, some spiritual plants can slowly grow to the fourth stage on their own.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming looked at the spirit plant that could nurture mid-grade spirit stones.

[Name]: Mid-grade Spirit Stone

[Growth Status]: Fruiting stage (100%)

[Current Status]: Can be upgraded (lacking special nutrients and high-grade spirit stones)

Although the number of spirit stones produced has increased, it is still in the fruit-growing stage.

As expected, mid-grade spirit stones have higher environmental requirements, and Xiao Ming's current strength is not yet sufficient to meet the requirements for transformation.

As for why we didn't apply special nutrients or fertilizer, what a joke! It would take a high-grade spirit stone to bring it to the fourth stage.

A high-grade spirit stone is worth the equivalent of ten thousand low-grade spirit stones. Even though Xiao Ming has accumulated considerable wealth over the years, he cannot afford a single high-grade spirit stone.

Although he couldn't cultivate the spiritual plants that nurtured mid-grade spirit stones to the fourth stage, Xiao Ming now had a way to increase the production of mid-grade spirit stones.

Xiao Ming took a few branches from the spiritual plant that was nurturing mid-grade spirit stones, and then went to the spiritual plant that was nurturing low-grade spirit stones, grafting all of these branches onto it.

Afterwards, Xiao Ming picked a few low-grade spirit stones and planted them next to the spirit plants. Under the watering of the spirit eye water, several emerald green seedlings grew.

[Name]: Spirit Stone

[Growth Status]: Budding stage (1%)

·······

After tending to the other spiritual plants in the field, Xiao Ming exited the omnipotent space.

After breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage, there is another important matter that urgently needs to be addressed.

That is the selection of cultivation techniques.

For cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, they only need to continuously refine Qi into their bodies to improve their cultivation level; so-called cultivation techniques and secret arts are secondary.

For example, the cultivation technique that Xiao Ming is currently using is the Qi-Inducing Technique, which is widely circulated in the market.

The cultivation process is step-by-step and there's nothing particularly miraculous about it. Its only advantage is its versatility; it can be cultivated by people with any spiritual root.

However, now that we've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, everything is different.

The so-called foundation building is to lay the foundation for immortality. Just like building a house, you need a blueprint to determine how the house should be built and how tall it can be built in the future.

Therefore, when cultivating beyond the Foundation Establishment stage, the choice of cultivation method needs to be carefully considered.

A good cultivation technique, combined with the corresponding secret techniques within it, can make one's strength far surpass that of other cultivators of the same level.

"Go to the Dharma Transmission Hall at Jieyao Peak."

After leaving the cave, Xiao Ming flew towards the direction of Yaoyao Peak.

Half a day later, Xiao Ming returned looking dejected.

The Transmission Hall has many cultivation techniques, including several core techniques that directly lead to the Nascent Soul stage, but they have nothing to do with him.

First of all, obtaining a cultivation technique that leads directly to the Nascent Soul stage is not easy. It requires the joint recommendation of the sect leader and an elder, a personal audience with the Nascent Soul Ancestor, and the approval of the Nascent Soul Ancestor before it can be bestowed in stages.

Xiao Ming didn't think he had that much influence.

Secondly, the cultivation requirements for this type of high-level cultivation technique are very demanding. Some require a special physique to cultivate, while others require top-tier aptitude, such as a single spiritual root, a double spiritual root, or a different spiritual root.

Second-tier Core Formation level cultivation techniques mostly require two or three spiritual roots, with the worst requirement being four spiritual roots.

It's not surprising that this situation has arisen. All cultivation techniques are developed by generations of cultivators through trial and error. Those who can cultivate to the Core Formation or Nascent Soul stages naturally possess exceptional physique and aptitude, and the suitable cultivation techniques are then passed down.

Pseudo-spiritual roots and five-elemental roots are extremely rare, and those that can form a core are very few, so the number of cultivation methods available is naturally limited.

Xiao Ming currently only has two choices. The first is to choose a cultivation method that suits him, but this type of cultivation method can only be cultivated to the peak of Foundation Establishment at most. Not to mention that the improvement in strength is far less than that of those high-level cultivation methods, he may not even have a method to form the core in the future.

The second option is to choose a Core Formation level cultivation technique to practice. However, forcibly practicing a technique with low compatibility will not only affect one's strength but also increase the risk of going into demonic possession. The chance of achieving Core Formation will also be lower than that of a person who practices normally.

Of course, those with extraordinary talent and perseverance can try to modify and refine their techniques as they go, overcoming various difficulties and the risk of going astray with their own talent and great perseverance, and gradually modifying the techniques to perfectly suit themselves.

Throughout history, haven't all new techniques been created in this way?

Such an idea is wonderful, but the difficulties involved are unimaginable. Not only would it waste countless years, but it might also involve risking one's life.

"Is there really no other way?" Xiao Ming was really unwilling to give up; he didn't want to choose either option.

Are there any other ways to obtain cultivation techniques?

Thinking this, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a jolt; it seemed that he really did have a suspected item on him.

Xiao Ming patted his storage bag, and a jade book flew into the air.

This was something I obtained from the secret realm of Cangwu Mountain. It was placed with a pile of jade slips at the time.

Unlike those jade slips whose information has become distorted over time, this jade book is clearly much older and its craftsmanship is more extraordinary. Perhaps it will be of some value.

Xiao Ming had tried to activate it several times before, but without success.

Now that he has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he naturally wants to try again.

Xiao Ming placed the jade book on the table and began to infuse it with spiritual energy. The jade book shimmered with a faint light, as if it were being charged.

As Xiao Ming continued to inject spiritual energy, the intervals between the flashes of light from the jade book became shorter and shorter. However, at the same time, his magical power was also being rapidly depleted.

"Damn it, I refuse to believe that I can't deal with you even after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

Xiao Ming took out a Qi-restoring pill from his storage bag and increased the amount of spiritual energy he poured into it.

Finally, after absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, the jade book was fully activated. It automatically flew into the air, and six large golden rune characters appeared.

The Transmission of Qigong Methods, Volume 1

"This jade book does indeed contain the cultivation method."

Xiao Ming was overjoyed and immediately released his divine sense. In an instant, a large amount of information flooded into his mind.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Technique

Using the purest Yang energy of Heaven and Earth as a guide, the Nine-Turn True Fire is refined and channeled into the body, tempering the meridians like surging molten lava...

The Taiyin Soul-Eating Sword Manual

The "Taiyin Sword Soul," forged from the essence of moonlight, possesses formless and intangible sword energy, capable of slaying gods and destroying souls...

The Azure Sky Longevity Scripture

Observe the withering and flourishing of plants, and embrace the vitality of all things...

"There are so many different martial arts techniques recorded here." Xiao Ming was also taken aback.

Each page on this page records a different cultivation technique. Although Xiao Ming did not look at it in detail, judging from the descriptions, they all seemed to be comparable to the core high-level cultivation techniques of the Gu Ling Sect.

If someone wants to establish their own sect, this jade book is all they need.

However, Xiao Ming soon discovered the problem: although the cultivation techniques recorded here were powerful, they only covered the Qi Refining to Core Formation stage and did not contain any Nascent Soul stage content.
