I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 531 The cultivation technique is real!
Lin Feng then visited a few more stalls and bought some common cultivation pills and spiritual materials before leaving the market and returning to his lodgings.

Only after closing the door and activating the formation did he finally let out a long sigh of relief. Even as a cultivator at the Yuan Dan realm, he was sweating a little.

"Is this cultivation technique real?"

Lin Feng took out a piece of uncut talisman paper and spread it out. With swift and skillful strokes, a large amount of text was written on the paper in an instant. Looking at what he had written, he felt a surge of excitement, but at the same time, he was also somewhat worried.

This cultivation method is completely different from the major cultivation methods in the cultivation world, yet, based on his knowledge, he couldn't find any fault with it.

"The basic theory, general outline, and summary of principles are all fine. Essentially, it can be seen as refining spirit from one's own flesh and blood... I see! This is a demonic cultivation method!"

Lin Feng suddenly slapped his forehead, instantly realizing something.

The demonic cultivators he was referring to were not the new demonic cultivators who had become mentally unstable due to absorbing polluted spiritual energy, but rather the demonic cultivators who practiced bloodlust and refined their souls by killing people before the Great Origin Anomaly.

Compared to those bloody, quick-fix demonic arts, this technique may seem much more righteous, but its core is still to extract spiritual power from the essence of flesh and blood, and the mind and will. It's just that the target has become oneself.

Having figured this out, Lin Feng was not only not angry, but instead showed joy, because he understood that this meant the technique was feasible!

Although it would damage his lifespan, the loss of at most thirty years of lifespan was nothing to him, a Yuan Dan Realm cultivator who enjoyed a thousand-year lifespan. But if he could use this to break through to the Ling Dong Realm, wouldn't he have three thousand years of lifespan to burn?
"The unity of heaven and man, since the power of heaven is unattainable, then we should explore it from within ourselves. This is truly astonishing courage!"

Although he understood it immediately, without this technique, even if Lin Feng thought of the demonic cultivator's method, he wouldn't dare to use it on himself. From this perspective, the person who dared to develop this technique must be a ruthless character!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but recall his old friend who was now at the top of the bounty list, and shook his head slightly.

"It's a clever tactic of feigning an attack while secretly advancing; what a brilliant move!"

Lin Feng was overjoyed, but he wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he wrote down the rest of what was in his mind—

"Internal cultivation forms the elixir, external cultivation forms the technique. The small source of magical power cannot compare to the large source in quantity, but it has the advantage of purity. Using the small source of magical power as a catalyst, one can connect with the large source of spiritual energy outside the body. In this way, one is indeed not limited by the pollution of spiritual energy..."

The process of writing is the process of becoming familiar with the technique. When he finished copying the technique, Lin Feng couldn't help but nod to himself and suddenly raised his index finger.

A wisp of magic power surged from his fingertips, twisting and turning to form a ball of flame, which then exploded with a bang.

Such flames, even without any protection, would not be enough to harm him, a cultivator at the Yuan Dan realm. But at this moment, he seemed to have been stunned by the explosion, standing there blankly.

"It works! It actually works!" Although he hadn't yet cultivated the technique called "Ziwei Nourishing Spirit Technique," he successfully used this spellcasting theory to release a spell.

Although it was just a fire-starting spell, and it failed, he did release the spell.

Traditional magic emphasizes the ability to change at will, because there is a magic core in the body that can quickly convert the great source of spiritual energy into magic power. Therefore, it is difficult to run out of magic power. Not only is the release of magic extremely unrestrained, but every bit of magic power can be used as if it were an extension of one's own limb. Now, only one's own magic power is used as a guide, making it much more difficult to control.

Lin Feng's only question at this moment was why no one had thought of such a simple way of casting a spell.

However, he forgot that before the spiritual energy was polluted, the average person in this world had infinite magical power (but at the same time, the amount of magical power they could control was limited). There was no need to consider conserving magical power. Even if all the magical power accumulated in the body was exhausted, as long as the spiritual pool/primordial core/dharma form/primordial spirit was still there, it would only take an instant to return to a state of abundant magical power.

In this way, those who engage in combat will naturally consider how to increase the power and variability of their spells, and increase the maximum amount of mana they can output at one time. Even if someone does develop a spell system that requires more effort, more time, and more practice, it will be directly overwhelmed by the traditional system.

Nowadays, with spirit stones being charged, every bit of magical power must be used to improve oneself, and even in combat, every effort must be made to conserve energy. The only ones with the leisure to think about innovating spellcasting methods are probably those Nascent Soul experts from reputable sects.

But even if those powerful individuals did discover this method of casting spells, why would they reveal it publicly?

Lin Feng shook his head and reread the opening text. Since the spellcasting method was effective, then this cultivation method should also be effective.

Moreover, this cultivation method is written very straightforwardly. Even if there are any pitfalls, it will only reduce his lifespan by a few years. He only advanced to the Yuan Dan realm ten years ago, and he still has a long life ahead of him. Rather than worrying about losing decades of lifespan, he should worry about dying in the secret realm because he can't afford spirit stones!
"Give it a try!"

Having made up his mind, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and began to adjust his breathing, mobilize his essence, and subdue the dragon and tiger as instructed in the cultivation method...

"It's much easier than I imagined... because I'm already at the Yuan Dan realm, and my divine soul is already formed?"

As he felt the vital energy flowing into his sea of ​​consciousness, transforming into an energy similar to, yet distinct from, spiritual energy, Lin Feng's mind was slightly agitated. However, he quickly steadied himself, visualizing his true form in his mind while simultaneously mobilizing this wisp of "magical power" and operating it according to his original cultivation method.

According to the "Ziwei Nourishing Spirit Technique," one should first solidify the illusory image of the soul and reach the "Entering the Dao" state. At that time, one can use magic power to nourish the physical body, achieve the circulation of vital energy, get rid of the shortened lifespan, and become completely self-sufficient. However, Lin Feng couldn't help himself because he was eager to know whether this magic power was compatible with his own cultivation method!

The wisp of magical power traveled through his meridians for a moment before returning to his dantian and merging into his primordial core. The entire process was incredibly smooth and fluid, and for a moment, Lin Feng felt an urge to shed tears.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this cultivation method isn't as efficient as directly gathering Great Source Spiritual Energy. What era are we living in? It's the era of charging for spiritual energy!
The spirit stones he earns from a day's work might not even be as much as the magical power he gains by "eating himself"!
“It’s feasible! Moreover, with this cultivation method, I don’t even need to take any risks. All I need is a large amount of ordinary food to nourish myself. Besides, my soul is already strong, and I can absorb enough vital energy every day. I should be able to reach the Dao Entry Realm soon!”

Thinking of this, Lin Feng suddenly flicked out a wisp of fire, burning all the papers on the table that recorded the cultivation techniques. Then he quickly walked out of the house. What a lousy market! He wasn't going to stay there any longer! Finding a mortal city to rent a plot of land and farm was the right thing to do!
