Cultivation: Beginning with the Heart Reflecting Heaven and Earth

The first floor of the Scripture Pavilion contains many low-level spells, as well as some low-level inheritances and many legends little known in the cultivation world. The truth is right here, and any disciple of a holy land can see it.

There are even some unorthodox or popular cultivation methods, some of which can be cultivated to the Golden Core stage. They are common in the first level and can cause bloodshed if released, but people in the Holy Land rarely give them a second glance.

For most disciples admitted to the Holy Land, the Golden Core stage is just the minimum requirement for them. Almost no one will strive to cultivate to the Golden Core stage. Everyone's goal is a realm above the Golden Core stage. Otherwise, how can they be called geniuses?

Lu Qian's worst option was to choose some wide-range spells on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion to cheat his way through, but that was pointless, and he quickly went up to the second floor.

The first level was empty, with only some protective formations. The second level had an old man whose strength was unfathomable. However, apart from some young disciples, the weakest people in the holy land were all at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Lu Qian immediately said, "This disciple has just broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining and has come to choose a cultivation technique!"

The old man looked extremely aged, his face lined with deep wrinkles, and the life force emanating from him was incredibly weak, almost as if he were about to die. Upon hearing this, he merely opened his eyes, glanced at him, and said indifferently, "Identity jade token!"

Lu Qian handed it over to the old man, who only glanced at it before quickly saying, "You can choose two cultivation techniques; choosing any more will consume your Dao power."

Lu Qian already knew these things before he arrived, so naturally he didn't care.

The old man added, "Furthermore, you are currently at the Qi Refining Realm. If you choose some important inheritances, you can only obtain Qi Refining Realm techniques. As your cultivation level improves in the future, you can continue to exchange for techniques for subsequent realms."

Perhaps it was to prevent disciples from becoming overly ambitious, or perhaps it was to prevent the loss of the inheritance; in any case, these were the rules, and Lu Qian could only accept them.

The second floor of the Sutra Repository was much emptier than the first floor, and many of the techniques were contained in a thin booklet with only a brief introduction to the techniques.

If you really want to get the complete book, you need to talk to that old man again, and you can get the corresponding cultivation technique jade slip.

Before making his selection, Lu Qian had already locked onto a cultivation technique based on water and fire, so he mainly chose physical combat skills and only glanced at the others.

The cultivation methods stored on the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion are mostly Qi Refining techniques, along with some strange secret arts and methods, most of which have rather unique cultivation requirements.

He suddenly saw the Myriad Laws Spirit Scripture that Mu Dong had mentioned to him, and quickly took it in his hand to carefully examine it.

"All arts, spells, and incantations in the world, regardless of the Five Elements, wind and thunder, yin and yang, or other strange and unusual techniques, once cultivated to the point of perfection and flawlessness, can condense a unique spell seed within the spiritual sea. Each spell seed completely seals the full power, casting trajectory, rune structure, and fundamental rhythm of that spell, never fading..."

Lu Qian nodded. "That's quite an ambitious statement! But it'll be hard to achieve!"

Its name is the Myriad Laws Spirit Scripture. Naturally, it is not something that can be achieved by cultivating one or two spells. It requires at least thousands upon thousands of spells, and all of them must be cultivated to perfection. How long would a person have to live to be able to do such a thing?

Even with Lu Qian's constant trial and error in his inner world, he wasn't confident he could succeed unless he opened his star aperture again, infinitely improving his comprehension, and combined it with his inner world.

But this is definitely not something that needs to be addressed now, so there's no need to worry about it for the time being.

He glanced at the price: Ten Thousand Laws Spiritual Scripture Refining Qi Chapter: 80 Dao Gong.

The price isn't particularly expensive, but only geniuses can afford it. It's very difficult for ordinary people to accumulate 80 Dao Gong points, mainly because when one's cultivation level is low, there aren't many ways to obtain Dao Gong points.

Once you've reached a higher level of cultivation, focusing on these things is of little significance.

He also took a moment to check the price of the Water and Fire Daoist arts, and was surprised: [Water and Fire Fusion Secret Manual, Qi Refining Chapter: 300 Daoist Points]

"This seems a bit too expensive! It's not like the price for the second tier!"

Most of the cultivation manuals in the library are priced around tens of yuan, with very few being too expensive. The Water and Fire Dao Techniques, however, are clearly quite expensive.

There are several other cultivation techniques with similar requirements, such as the Dragon Elephant Battle Body which requires 400 cultivation points, the Tai Xu True Scripture which requires 600 cultivation points, the Green Wood Longevity Technique which requires 300 cultivation points, and the Sword Echo which requires 500 cultivation points...

At the same level, the Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment, which belongs to the Xuantian Palace, only requires 90 cultivation points!

Lu Qian couldn't help but speculate, "It seems that the inheritances belonging to other palaces are all very expensive, basically only available through free attempts. Although the Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment inheritance belonging to the Xuan Tian Palace also requires 90 cultivation points, compared to other inheritances, the price is extremely low..."

He had originally planned to just choose any physical technique, but now it seems that these inheritances are not something he can choose casually. If he misses the free opportunity, it will be much more difficult to exchange for them later.

Unless Lu Qian can maintain his position at the top of the Qi Refining Ranking of the Myriad Laws Battle Tower for a long time, he can freely exchange for cultivation techniques, but it will take some time.

"Don't just look at the price; the key is to find something that suits your needs!"

He casually activated a physical combat technique. "Physical combat techniques, also known as physical supernatural abilities, are beyond the reach of ordinary people. To possess such abilities, the body must be tempered and refined through countless trials..."

"This Mountain-Suppressing Overlord Body Technique is based on the weight of mountains and the solidity of the earth. It can withstand magic, suppress everything, and break through enemies with brute force. The more stable one is, the stronger one's combat power becomes. It is perfectly suited for defensive body-refining cultivators..."

They made it sound incredibly appealing, but when Lu Qian saw the price—only 40 cultivation points—he immediately tossed it aside. "Such a low price makes it hard to have any confidence!"

Lu Qianzhen really wanted to leave this corner, but suddenly he was attracted by a cultivation manual. "Ninefold Waves of the Vast Ocean? It actually requires 2000 cultivation points!"

Now he has to take a serious look.

Upon opening the first page, a warning immediately pops up: "Those who are not naturally strong or exceptionally intelligent should be cautious in learning this! A slight misstep could harm yourself before harming others, leading to physical collapse that is beyond medical cure!"

"It seems that only those with some talent in body refinement and high comprehension can learn this!"

Comprehension is easy to understand. There are only two aspects to body-refining talent: either one is born with a strong physique, or one has a special physique that is suitable for body-refining.

For example, Luo Wei, the number one among the Ten Talents of the Canghai, has a special physique.

"Most people might be scared, but I'm not afraid at all!"

After a brief pause, Lu Qian continued flipping through the pages. He had a mental world where he could practice hundreds of times without any consequences before starting his cultivation in reality.

"This technique, derived from fragments of ancient dragon battle tactics, evolved from the dragon's playful antics, its ability to churn rivers and soar through the air to subdue the seas. It relies solely on the explosive power of the physical body, without depending on spiritual energy or spells. It is compatible with fist techniques and mace techniques, and is applicable to all terrains—naval, land, and air—without any terrain disadvantage..."
