One sword cheat

Chapter 54 The Possibility of Simultaneous Cultivation of Two Methods

The alteration of cause and effect has both good and bad aspects. Fortunately, the changes that occurred in Sanfu Town are good, so the 100 sword-drawing points were well spent.

Chen Ren started pestering Luo Yunxi with questions, while also trying to rack up his sword-drawing points.

"Junior Uncle, do you really not know anything about martial arts cultivation methods?"

"Martial arts training methods are quite common, and since I was focused on my own cultivation at the time, I didn't explore them much."

Luo Yunxi shook his head and sighed: "However, I can pass on the Great Cave True Scripture of Shangqing Palace to you in advance, so you can try to cultivate it first."

These days, once Chen Ren finishes teaching his students, he talks with his junior uncle Luo Yunxi in the back mountain, and he is the one asking questions most of the time.

These issues include, but are not limited to, the strength of the human race, the foundations of various sects, the power of magic, as well as elixirs, weapons, and magical artifacts.

In the ancient world, weapons are divided into magical artifacts and spiritual artifacts; the more powerful ones are called Dao treasures.

Natural treasures are further divided into precious objects and spiritual objects; the most precious ones are called celestial treasures.

As for pills, they are simple: they are directly Qi Refining Pills and Foundation Establishment Pills. At most, they are divided into three levels: ordinary, superior, and perfect, based on their quality and the degree of activation of medicinal power.

Why are there no substandard products?

Chen Ren asked curiously, "What about the discarded pills?"

Would you buy inferior products?

Luo Yunxi rolled his eyes: "That's how we name things to make them sound better. To put it bluntly, they're just three different grades."

"As for the waste pills, they usually explode in the furnace, or they are charred, or they self-destruct due to an imbalance of medicinal properties. Very few waste pills can be left behind."

"Moreover, most of them were bought by those who raise spirit beasts."

People don't care whether the spirit beasts live or die, since they'll kill them and eat them anyway.

In the ancient world, wild beasts are generally referred to as ferocious beasts for the sake of consistency.

However, there are exceptions. Once a ferocious beast reaches the Foundation Establishment level, it is called a demon!

The Iron Feathered Eagle that Zhang Yunqing shot down earlier was a ferocious beast belonging to the Acquired Realm.

Of course, if you cultivate the path of immortality, you can also be called a ferocious beast in the Qi Refining Realm.

It's just a matter of personal preference.

"Junior Uncle, I have a question for you~"

Chen Ren thought for a long time before cautiously asking, "So, it means one person can cultivate several martial arts techniques simultaneously?"

Zhang Yunqing is usually too busy to answer so many of his questions, but now that someone has finally answered them, he is eager to ask all his doubts.

"Practicing multiple martial arts techniques simultaneously?"

Luo Yunxi frowned: "My advice is not to do that."

"So that means it's possible?" Chen Ren's eyes lit up!

"It's possible, but there are risks."

Luo Yunxi, as expected of a seasoned cultivator, hit the nail on the head:

"Each cultivation method has different elements. For example, your Overlapping Waves Technique cultivates water-type qi and blood. Even if you cultivate other similar techniques, there will be differences in their nature."

"Not to mention other types of cultivation methods, there will be a rejection of qi and blood, you can only cultivate the next one after you have finished cultivating this one."

"However, this will cause the Qi and blood to conflict within the meridians due to their different natures. Only one type can be used at a time, and it is impossible to use both types simultaneously. Moreover, the amount of Qi and blood that a person can accumulate is also limited."

"If you practice two different cultivation methods, you are destined to be weak in both. It's like a bottle that can only hold 500ml of mineral water. If you add half of it with other water, not only will the two types of water be incompatible, but you can only use half of the water at a time."

As expected of a strong person, he explained things in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Chen Ren nodded in sudden understanding.

Then his wood energy is useless, right? No, if he uses sword-drawing points to eliminate the side effects, wouldn't that solve the problem? But the issue of total qi and blood volume still needs to be taken seriously. Tsk, not enough sword-drawing points.

"Your water and qi are perfectly balanced, so you only need to cultivate the Overlapping Waves Technique. Fortunately, martial arts and immortality follow different paths, so there are no obstacles to switching cultivation methods."

One cultivates the body, the other cultivates Qi. Luo Yunxi seemed to see the future: this junior disciple was using his spiritual root to step into the Foundation Establishment stage and forge his own path.

"Aren't there any exceptions?"

If that doesn't work, then the only option is to use sword-drawing points for training. However, even if you get a fixed output of around 300 sword-drawing points every day, it still won't be enough.

He also needs to cut back on cultivation time, making one day count as several days, use the Karma Sword to farm resources, and fight enemies, etc., it's not enough.

Even now, if he can accumulate 100 sword-drawing points a day, it's considered that he's patiently and cautiously developing his character.

Chen Ren picked a wild fruit, took a bite, and found it to be very juicy and tasted good, somewhat similar to a mango.

"Junior Uncle, would you like some?"

Luo Yunxi didn't see it; he was thinking about Chen Ren's problem.

"Actually... there are exceptions. I remember my master saying that a martial arts sect took in a genius who had some kind of innate special physique and could cultivate the Five Qi Methods at the same time."

"Special physique?"

Chen Ren's eyes lit up. His flawless body was also a special physique, but it was only flawless in terms of Qi, so it was only equivalent to ordinary grade C cultivation aptitude.

"Yes." Luo Yunxi nodded, staring at the wild fruit in Chen Ren's hand, seemingly pondering something, and then said:

"Human civilization has continued for so many years, there will always be some exceptionally talented geniuses."

"Those with special physiques are born to be favored, destined for cultivation."

"Some people are born with a pre-existing condition, which is called a pre-existing condition."

"Some people's spiritual roots are integrated with the wind, so they have no scruples wherever there is wind."

"In the past, our Shangqing Palace also had a special physique called the Wood Element Physique. Even if it was cut in half at the waist, it could regenerate a body."

Speaking of that Wood Elemental Body, Luo Yunxi's eyes were full of envy:

"He has no idea what injury is. We carefully break through to higher realms, but he just goes for it recklessly. He doesn't even care if his meridians are completely severed because of this. Anyway, they healed the next day, and then he continued to break through."

"Wow... that powerful?"

Chen Ren looked curious, felt a little dizzy, and had a hoarse throat. He quickly asked:

"Who is he? Is he still in our sect?"

"He's dead."

Luo Yunxi's tone was very calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"Dead!"

Chen Ren cried out in shock, "How did he die? Wasn't he a Wood Elemental Body? How could he still die?"

"Because no matter how powerful your physique is, it's all in vain if you can't grow. If you encounter an ancient god or a deity with ancient divine authority, you'll only face death."

Luo Yunxi sighed slowly, his voice filled with both reminiscence and heaviness:

"However, if it weren't for Second Senior Sister's resistance against the ancient god's rules, even Eldest Senior Sister might not have been able to get out. But Eldest Senior Sister is truly amazing. Second Senior Sister's Wood Element Body was completely overwhelmed by her Heavenly Observation and Sword-Holding Dao. Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, most of her physical attributes and aptitudes are inferior to her talent..."

"Hmm? Junior Nephew, are you listening? Why aren't you answering?"

Luo Yunxi turned his head to look behind him and saw that Chen Ren's face was swollen and bluish-purple, and he could no longer breathe.

Who plotted against him? He looked down and quickly saw the melons and fruits in Chen Ren's hand.

Extremely poisonous!!!

"broken!"

[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +100!]

He had already remembered what this thing was; it was called "sealing the throat upon entry," and even martial artists with acquired martial arts skills would be affected if they ate it!

I was so engrossed in talking that I forgot I can't just eat anything from the ancient world!

"Senior sister, senior sister, please save them!"

…………

Schools in Sanfu Town are closed today. It's said that a teacher ate something wrong and is resting at home.

"Don't eat random things next time."

At Chen Ren's residence, Zhang Yunqing was somewhat speechless: "Most things in this ancient realm are poisonous. If I hadn't been here, you would already be dead."

She glanced at Luo Yunxi again: "And you, you too, as a native of the Ancient Realm, don't you know better?"

Chen Ren and Luo Yunxi lowered their heads and nodded repeatedly, saying they understood.

But as soon as Zhang Yunqing left, Chen Ren jumped up and ran to the back mountain to pick some throat lozenges.

Why are you still picking these?

Luo Yunxi's eyes widened as she watched Chen Ren deftly pick a large basketful of seeds and carefully collect them.

"You don't understand, these are all treasures. Even the day after tomorrow, someone could be poisoned. From now on, if I don't like someone, I'll poison them!"
