You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

Chapter 132 Cultivation Techniques, Magical Arts, and Alchemy

Looking at the cultivation technique information displayed on the panel, Lu Heng seemed to be deep in thought.

It was neither unexpected nor surprising—

Even those who practice all three methods simultaneously will not be able to achieve their goals unless they choose an extreme method of cultivation that leads to the highest level of spiritual elevation.

Otherwise, one would need to practice according to the existing cultivation system.

There's a reason why the Body Refining Realm, Qi Refining Realm, and Spirit Refining Realm correspond to essence, qi, and spirit respectively.

It's often a situation where you are in me and I am in you.

Therefore, before reaching the peak of the Qi Refining Secret Realm, Lu Heng had no intention of cultivating the other two methods.

Trying to do a lot but not being good at anything.

Once the Qi Refining Technique in the Qi Refining Secret Realm reaches a state of perfection.

With a strategic overview, Lu Heng, who can optimize his cultivation techniques, will be able to cultivate the other two techniques to perfection much faster than he would cultivate all three techniques simultaneously!

However, setting aside the issue of only being able to practice Qi Refining for the time being, the real problem lies in—

Lu Heng's current cultivation method is derived from the characteristics of this cultivation method, and he has only deduced it to the early stage of the Qi Refining Secret Realm.

Of course, it's not a big problem. As long as he has other cultivation techniques to refer to, Lu Heng will still be able to deduce subsequent techniques based on his mastery of cultivation.

The real problem he needs to consider solving now is—

How to obtain the subsequent Qi Refining Secret Realm cultivation techniques.

Otherwise, the "Void Qi Refining Method," which is only the initial stage of the Qi Refining Secret Realm, would only allow him to raise his Qi refining method to the beginner limit. After that, although he would have prerequisite knowledge of the cultivation method, the speed of deduction would be many times slower.

Deducing from nothing and comparing with a reference are two completely different concepts.

In the previous life, it would probably be similar to innovation versus piracy.

However, the pirated cultivation method that Lu Heng deduced was not a clumsy copy, but a further optimization.

It is most suitable for him, and optimized to the point that it can help him reach the end of his cultivation realm.

The fact that he was able to break through the limits alone already puts him ahead of almost all other cultivators!

Lu Heng does not currently expect to obtain the remaining portion of the "Void Refining Qi Method" from the Lu clan.

Without even thinking, he knew that for a member of a branch family, accomplishing this task would be an extremely difficult and thankless task.

He wasn't without other options. The "Void Refining Qi Method" could serve as a reference for his deductions, and other cultivation methods could do the same!

Besides this, to obtain cultivation techniques—

Lu Heng could only think of two approaches at the moment.

After leaving the secret realm, they learned about the Refining God True Person, whom Lu Qingyan had mentioned, who had a life-and-death friendship with the Second Deacon.

Joining a second-rate sect with a Refining God Master in charge makes it a natural thing to obtain other Qi Refining Secret Realm cultivation methods.

Even though that Refining Spirit True Person was a close friend of the Second Deacon, and was willing to stand up for him.

This does not mean that he is willing to fight against a third-rate family for the sake of a junior.

Even if it's not a contest, the weight of a True Immortal of Spirit Refinement might only require paying a certain price, but Lu Heng doesn't think he has that kind of weight.

It might be more like it would be Lu Qingyan instead.

But if that were to happen, the Lu family would be even less likely to allow it.

After all, given Lu Heng's apparent talent, even if he joined a second-rate sect, his ultimate potential might not be much different from that of a Grand Steward or a Second Steward.

For the Lu clan, they were considered top-tier fighters in the Qi Refining Secret Realm.

But Lu Qingyan was different.

Having a grandfather who is the Second Deacon makes it truly possible to advance to the Mystic Refining Realm and become a True Refining God after entering a second-rate sect.

The Lu family would not allow it if there was only this possibility.

For these reasons, Lu Heng didn't place too much hope on this matter. Besides this, there was another reason he wanted to obtain the cultivation method for the Qi Refining Secret Realm—

It's very simple, just go and buy it!

In the Great Qi Dynasty, as a cultivator in the Qi Refining Secret Realm, obtaining cultivation techniques for the Refining Secret Realm might be difficult, but cultivation techniques for the Qi Refining Secret Realm can be obtained simply by spending money.

Of course, this money doesn't refer to ordinary currency, but rather to real spiritual coins.

Before entering the Qi Refining Secret Realm, Lu Heng had a corresponding plan for how to earn cultivation resources. He did not resort to taking out loans or even fighting in underground boxing matches as he had done before.

Instead, as a cultivator in a Qi Refining Secret Realm, one can choose a secondary profession and a cultivation skill to practice.

In this world, apart from those cultivation geniuses who have the support of their families or even sects and only need to focus on cultivation, there are no other cultivators.

A significant number of cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm who do not want to take risks will not seek to earn cultivation resources by risking their lives. After all, reaching the Qi Refining Realm is not an easy task.

It's impossible for it to become even more delicious, like the desperate criminals in the Body Refining Secret Realm.

Apart from this, without sufficient background, the only option to obtain cultivation resources without taking risks is to cultivate cultivation techniques.

Of course, since cultivating skills requires a lot of resources in the early stages and is very demanding of talent, not everyone has such determination.

And coincidentally, this is the problem that Lu Heng has the least to worry about.

The fact that his skills could be recorded on the panel and improved through proficiency gave him no worries.

As for which cultivation technique to choose, Lu Heng silently looked at the "Spiritual Food Making" on his panel. Oh, no, that's not right.

After advancement, it should be called "Second-Tier Spirit Food Production".

Just as the sword energy derived from the "Basic Sword Techniques" is related to the first-order Qi Refining Method.

"Spiritual Food Making" is also inextricably linked to alchemy and cultivation techniques.

Unsurprisingly, proficiency in "Spiritual Food Making" can also be converted into proficiency in alchemy to some extent.

Furthermore, among the four recognized cultivation techniques in the world of cultivators—alchemy, weapon crafting, talisman making, and formation—…

While the difficulty of improving alchemy skills is second only to formations, its subsequent benefits are the greatest among the four major cultivation techniques.

We'll talk about it later.

Having only the initial part of the "Void Qi Refining Method" as a reference, Lu Heng's understanding of the Qi refining method was not extensive, and he didn't think much about it.

As he pondered this, Lu Heng looked at the technique that had evolved from combat tactics into "Basic Sword Qi".

Compared to the somewhat troublesome physical skills, the magical techniques are much easier to solve.

The technique is acceptable, but it doesn't impose any limitations on the subsequent parts.

However, to practice magic, you need the complete set.

However, compared to a battle strategy that is based entirely on fundamentals.

Starting with the techniques of the Qi Refining Secret Realm, it is completely different from what I learned before.

The most obvious point is that the core of the battle strategy lies in the word "battle," and everything serves the purpose of combat.

The essence of magic lies in the word "magic"—the magic of all techniques!
