The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 32 Cultivation
Xiao Jun held the crystal card in his pocket and pondered what to do next.

"Why not return to my own secluded abode first and quietly sort out and reflect on what I have learned?" After making up his mind, Xiao Jun was about to return to his room when he suddenly saw an elf-like girl, followed by Xiao Mei.

"Xiao Xun'er? Interesting."

Although Xiao Xun'er has the support of a powerful force, her actions and influence are actually very small. Xiao Jun thought about squeezing some benefits from Xiao Xun'er, but this method is very dangerous and the return is far less than investing in Xiao Yan. After calmly considering it, he was too lazy to have any intersection.

But Xiao Xun'er was holding Xiao Mei's hand. After seeing Xiao Jun, she walked over directly. Xiao Jun was surprised at first, then nodded and said to Xiao Xun'er, "Cousin Xun'er, cousin Xiao Mei."

"Cousin!" Xiao Mei waved her hand and called out to Xiao Jun. Xiao Xun'er approached and said, "It's Xiao Jun. Your reputation as a genius is well-known to almost all the Xiao family members, but you're a busy man, so the family often can't find you."

"I'm focused on cultivation, so naturally I don't have time." Xiao Jun simply nodded. As for Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Jun simply ignored her. They weren't on the same path, and profiting from her was extremely dangerous, so she couldn't offer him any help. Xiao Jun only needed to follow the general trend to gain strength, skills, and everything else. Why bother getting involved with such a dangerous person and situation?

"Hey, you can only obtain the family's martial arts when you reach adulthood. But now that you have become a fighter and can practice the martial arts, you still have to endure hardship for a few years. Cousin Xiao Jun, I have some martial arts in my hands! They have nothing to do with the Xiao family's martial arts pavilion." Xiao Xun'er smiled and tilted her head to say to Xiao Jun.

Xiao Jun took out a crystal card from his pocket and said to Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Mei, "The clan leader just gave me a crystal card with 8,000 gold coins on it. It's enough for me to buy some skills."

"Wow!" Xiao Mei exclaimed as she looked at the crystal card. She covered her slightly open mouth with her hand and immediately realized, "Doesn't that mean you can practice martial arts, cousin?"

"good."

"Since the clan leader has his own thoughts, then I was worrying too much." Xiao Xun'er smiled indifferently and pulled Xiao Mei away.

Xiao Jun also smiled, left directly, and began to return to his secluded residence. He needed to sort himself out, he needed to find and determine his future path.

"First, the formation. Using the formation, I can study the laws of the Douqi Continent, and then help myself practice."

'The second is the technique. Research your own technique, integrate all your knowledge, and create a technique that is tailored to you.'

Perhaps Xiao Jun's desire to create a technique was presumptuous in the past. But now, Xiao Jun has begun to explore the fourth stage of medical skills, exploring and researching the human body and even life itself. While other people's techniques are merely for cultivation, Xiao Jun's technique is actually a tool for Xiao Jun to seek the truth, a way to prove his own truth.

Moreover, with the help of databases and operation matrices, it is not a delusion to create one's own method of proving the truth. With this high-grade yellow-level method as a reference, there is a foundation for creating a method.

Returning to his secluded abode, he began to open the scrolls in his ring. He first glanced at the Thick Earth Art, which he mastered instantly, though it felt uninteresting. He then opened the newly acquired Three Mountains Formation Sutra and began to consider some of the formations within, wondering which formations and knowledge would be useful for his own cultivation.

Integrating formations into martial arts and fighting skills is also a direction that Xiao Jun explores and researches.

……

"Clan leader! You actually rewarded Xiao Jun directly. This is really against clan rules. He is not yet an adult. How can you reward him with gold coins so that he can purchase a technique?"

In a hall, some people were sitting upright. In the middle sat Xiao Zhan, and next to him were old men. These old men were all elders of the Xiao family. The old man sitting on Xiao Zhan's right side spoke to him with great sorrow.

"Hehe, he is a fighter, and he is extremely talented. Why should I restrict him? Second Elder, if I delay the opportunity to practice, wouldn't it be the family's suppression of geniuses?" Xiao Zhan first chuckled and directly refuted.

"Xiao Jun still has too little experience and needs some training. Clan leader, you may have encouraged Xiao Jun's arrogance this time, which will be detrimental to the development of talents in our Xiao family in the future." The old man on Xiao Zhan's left whispered to Xiao Zhan. Although his tone was gentle, the sharpness within him remained undiminished.

"Such a genius, his wisdom and intelligence make him completely free of arrogance. For Xiao Jun, he has always been focused on cultivation. Do you think it is detrimental to his development? It would be disadvantageous to him if he could not cultivate." Xiao Zhan continued to counter each move.

"But it's really irresponsible of you to give him such a huge sum of money casually, Patriarch." The second elder attacked again.

"Those eight thousand gold coins are actually my own personal gold coins. They are not taken from the family's shared wealth. Don't say that." Xiao Zhan said with a chuckle.

"But..." Someone was about to say something else, but Xiao Zhan pressed his palm and interrupted him directly: "You know, Xiao Jun has improved the Pei Yuan technique, and the new version of Pei Yuan technique has been delivered to me."

"Peeling Essence Technique?" Several elders leaned forward, their eyes gleaming with interest. "Could it be that Xiao Jun has already reached the third cycle of the Peeling Essence Technique?" The Second Elder's eyes flashed with eagerness as he stared at Xiao Zhan.

"No, the third cycle goes deeper into the human body's essence, but the new version of the Pei Yuan technique has solved some of the complex drawbacks of the Pei Yuan technique, making it easier to practice, but the effectiveness remains exactly the same. Everyone here has practiced the Pei Yuan technique before, right? It circulates Dou Qi along the intricate veins of the body's flesh and blood and internal organs to cleanse the body's essence. It is extremely complex, and one mistake can lead to injury."

"Indeed." The Second Elder stroked his beard. "The Essence Cultivation Technique is truly a remarkable technique. It utilizes Dou Qi to cleanse the body, and combined with some nourishing herbs, it allows one's essence to be enhanced. Although the improvement is very slow, for people like us, it can help us overcome bottlenecks and improve our cultivation."

Originally, his potential had been exhausted, and he could no longer improve his cultivation. However, the emergence of the Pei Yuan Technique completely changed the Second Elder's previous cultivation philosophy. Pei Yuan Technique was originally a medical technique created by Xiao Jun to improve his own aptitude. But now, it has become a way to cleanse the body, allowing practitioners who have reached a bottleneck to slowly polish away the obstacles that hinder their cultivation.

It allows people to slowly improve their cultivation when they have reached a bottleneck and their potential has been exhausted. This amazing technique actually came from a young man. However, what disappointed the elders was that the Pei Yuan Technique was not created completely, but only created a double cycle.

From the perspective of fighting skills and combat techniques, this Pei Yuan technique is theoretically at the fifth level, but only the second level has been created.

The second point that Pei Yuan Shu is criticized for is that it is very complicated. When practicing Pei Yuan Shu, one may have a few distracting thoughts, causing the fighting spirit to get out of control and causing harm to oneself. However, for people whose potential has been exhausted, this side effect is very normal. But now it is said that this side effect has been directly solved.

"Is it possible that such a prodigy, instead of being rewarded, we are suppressing him? Who else is willing to dedicate themselves to the family?" Xiao Zhan pulled out a scroll from his ring and held it up. "This is the improved new version. Are you elders still going to suppress him?"

"But, such a simple reward for the technique... is not conducive to Xiao Jun's efforts!" The Third Elder suddenly said: "What will happen to the development of Pei Yuan Technique in the future?"

"Third Elder, don't say such things!" The Second Elder suddenly changed his attitude: "If we restrict the genius in this way, how can we expect the cultivation of Yuan Pei Shu to proceed smoothly in the future? This is like trying to cultivate a towering tree without watering or fertilizing it."

Then he turned around and said to Xiao Zhan, "Patriarch, I support your decision. What you are doing is absolutely right. As for the geniuses of the Xiao family, we must cultivate them with all our heart."

Seeing the Second Elder's sudden change, Xiao Zhan smiled softly without saying anything. He then tossed the scroll in his hand to the Second Elder, who took it and opened it to read the text inside.

"Yes, yes, it is indeed much simpler, like peeling off silk threads from a cocoon, easily cleansing the essence of the flesh." The Second Elder observed it carefully: "And it has become even more perfect."

He closed the scroll, ignored the anxiously waiting Third Elder, and turned to Xiao Zhan and asked, "Clan leader, may I ask where Xiao Jun is now?"

"I don't know either. He often practices in seclusion in the back mountains and doesn't like to be disturbed."

"pity."

……

At this time, Xiao Jun was looking at the scroll, his mind was running at high load. Suddenly, Xiao Jun closed the scroll and threw it back into the ring.

"I'm so tired, let's practice for a while and give myself a rest!"

He stood up and sat cross-legged. The vortex of Dou Qi in his dantian spun rapidly. Xiao Jun began to make hand seals. The vortex of Dou Qi in his abdomen spun even faster. The Dou Qi in the surrounding space began to vibrate and turned into streams of air that merged into his body.

Each stream of Dou Qi is like a small python, sensing the blood, flesh, veins and qi channels around the body, calculating and rehearsing future changes in cultivation in the mind, and making corrections at every moment. The mind links the calculation matrix, and each strand of Dou Qi is accurately measured and incorporated into the cyclone of Dantian for refining.

Suddenly, the cyclone absorbed a large amount of fighting spirit and suddenly concentrated. The fighting spirit became more condensed and the vortex appeared thicker.

"Is this the second star of Dou Qi? That's a bit simple." Xiao Jun's practice was so smooth, because thousands of ways of practice could be deduced in just a few breaths. Practice was really as simple as eating and drinking water in daily life.

He continued to cultivate his fighting spirit, because cultivating fighting spirit was a way for Xiao Jun to relax, and it was much simpler than deducing formations, techniques, and fighting skills. Once he had cultivated his spirit sufficiently through practicing fighting spirit, he would begin to deduce these complex things.
