Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Offering Too Much

The simplified style was very nondescript, and the result was very satisfying. Chen Fei calculated the number of steps he took every day. If he worked harder, he could even cultivate the Water Crossing Technique to Great Completion in a day.

At that time, Chen Fei’s body movements would show obvious improvements. If he was diligent, it would probably only take him four to five days to fuse and cultivate all four body movement techniques. He would see if he could trigger a qualitative change at that time.

Chen Fei put down the Water Crossing manual and picked up the Immortal Cloud Sword manual.

The simplified version of the Water Crossing Technique was expected. Now, the main thing was whether the Interface could recognize the Immortal Cloud Sword technique and optimize it. If it were possible, then the gaping holes in high-end cultivation techniques would have a lower impact on Chen Fei.

After spending a full two hours, Chen Fei was a little dizzy from reading by the candlelight. Fortunately, the information about the Immortal Cloud Sword finally appeared on the interface.

[Cultivation Technique: Immortal Cloud Sword (Incomplete)]

“Discovered cultivation technique. Do you want to spend fifty taels of silver to simplify the Immortal Cloud Sword (Incomplete)?”

“It really is the Immortal Cloud Sword. I guess it’s only to be expected that it is incomplete, but the cost to simplify it is a little high.”

Chen Fei’s eyes lit up slightly. The first goal had been achieved. If it could be simplified, then the future was promising. He couldn’t find an authentic, high-level cultivation technique, but he could probably find a lot of similar cultivation techniques.

“Interface, simplify Celestial Cloud Sword!”

“Celestial Cloud Sword (Incomplete) is being simplified. Simplification was successful. Immortal Cloud Sword (Incomplete) → Immortal Way!”

A sword technique appeared in Chen Fei’s mind. The moves were elegant and agile, like lightning, and he delivered a sword attack when it was least expected. Chen Fei hadn’t practiced it yet. He was just observing the sword technique in his mind and was somewhat intoxicated.

“Good swordsmanship!”

A moment later, Chen Fei finished absorbing the sword technique and couldn’t help but sing its praises. Compared to the Immortal Way, the Clear Mountain Sword at Great Completion was like a child’s dance, so crude that it was hard to look at it.

“This Immortal Way is probably just one of the moves of the Immortal Cloud Sword, but it’s already so amazing. How powerful would the complete Immortal Cloud Sword be? What kind of monster is it really?”

Chen Fei muttered to himself. The more he understood, the more he felt his own insignificance.

Chen Fei shook his head slightly and shook off the strange emotions in his heart. His gaze once again focused on Immortal Way.

If Chen Fei were to cultivate this sword technique step by step, with his current aptitude in the sword path, he would probably not even be able to reach the beginner level after a few months. He didn’t know when he would reach perfection.

However, it was a little out of place to use the perfected Clear Mountain Sword to fuse with Immortal Way.

Just like how he had fused the Vitality Pill with the Healing Pill. It was possible to fuse two pill formulas with different effects, but the result, in the end, was disappointing.

The Clear Mountain Sword could also be fused with the Immortal Way, but one had to be prioritized.

The Immortal Way was of a higher level, so it would definitely be used as the main technique. That means Chen Fei would have to give up most of the perfected Clear Mountain Sword. Moreover, Immortal Way was only one move, and it was more suitable to be used as a killer move rather than a complete sword technique.

Chen Fei had not reached the level of understanding and breaking through Sword Principles, so it was very easy to be targeted if he were just a one-trick pony. In the end, Chen Fei had no choice but to separate the two again.

“Can the simplified cultivation technique be simplified again?”

An idea suddenly popped up in Chen Fei’s mind. Thinking of this, Chen Fei directly gave a simplified command to the interface.

“Five hundred taels of silver!”

The information that popped up on the interface shocked Chen Fei. It could be simplified a second time, but it required ten times the amount of the first time.

“Having money really makes people happy.”

Chen Fei took a few deep breaths and turned his gaze to the Water Crossing technique. He couldn’t afford to simplify Immortal Way, but he could do it with the Water Crossing technique. Chen Fei wanted to see what the effect of the second simplification would be.

“Water Crossing Technique is being simplified for the second time. Simplification was successful. Water Crossing Technique → Leg Shaking!”

Chen Fei’s eyes widened slightly. Good heavens, this second simplified version directly changed from walking to shaking his legs. The difficulty could actually be reduced even further. Money was really omnipotent.

“That’s why I have to work hard to earn money!”

Chen Fei couldn’t help but cross his legs and slowly started to shake them.

The next morning, Chen Fei went to Qingzheng Medical Hall as usual. He greeted the people he met along the way and went to the alchemy room.

Chen Fei glanced at the interface. The experience points of the Water Crossing technique had long been perfected, and it was already very close to the level of Great Completion. At the same time, Chen Fei discovered that walking could still increase the experience points of the Water Crossing technique.

In other words, after the cultivation technique was simplified twice, the first simplified cultivation method would still be in play. It was equivalent to giving you an additional method to increase experience points.

Chen Fei was in a good mood. When he walked this morning, he could clearly feel that his body had become much lighter. It was obvious that the movement technique was taking effect.

After starting the fire and setting up the furnace, Chen Fei began to refine Healing Pills.

The price of the Healing Pill was still slightly higher than the Vitality Pill. As such, Chen Fei refined a batch of Healing Pills first and kept a portion for his own use or to buy and sell in the black market.

Then, he refined a few more batches of Vitality Pills, keeping a portion that was enough for him to consume, and sold the rest.

Compared to last month, Chen Fei intentionally increased the number of pills produced this month. If you improved a little, the people in the clinic would think that you were talented, but it wouldn’t be so much it raised unwanted attention.

In the afternoon, when Chen Fei was taking a Vitality Pill to cultivate, Zeng Defang called him over.

“I went to ask the Eldest Miss today. After she found out about your talents, she also intends to nurture you. She plans to let you go to the medical center at the north gate and become the assistant manager there.”

Zeng Defang picked up the teacup, blew on it a few times, and took a sip.

“Is it dangerous?”

Chen Fei frowned slightly. His first thought was that such a good thing would not fall into the hands of a person like him. He was talented in alchemy, but it wasn’t to the extent that it would shock the world. How could he suddenly become the assistant manager of the medical hall?

“There’s no danger, but it’ll be a little cumbersome.

“Eldest Miss suspects that there’s something wrong with Steward Sun over there, so she wants you to go over and investigate.” Zeng Defang pondered for a moment and said, “You don’t really have a background, and you have a certain level of pill-refining ability. You can sit in this position without attracting too much suspicion.

“Don’t be in a hurry to refuse.”

When Zeng Defang saw Chen Fei’s expression, he could not help but laugh and said, “To motivate you to go there, the Eldest Miss has decided to increase your share from 30% to 40%. At the same time, I can also give you the recipe for the Qi Rejuvenation Pill. If you can find evidence of Steward Sun’s misdeeds, I can even give you the pill formula for the Light Spirit Pill.”

Chen Fei opened his mouth and swallowed his rejection. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to reject the offer, but the other party was offering him so much it was bordering on being a little too much. Chen Fei couldn’t think of a reason to refuse.

30% to 40% would allow Chen Fei to save money faster. After discovering the second simplification function on the interface, Chen Fei knew that if he wanted to quickly increase his strength, money was indispensable. In fact, more money was better.
