Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Bone Gangrene

This speed was too slow. After all, Chen Fei was not young anymore. The older he was, the harder it was for his cultivation to increase in the future. More importantly, after Chen Fei killed Qi Chun, the black line on his wrist had been growing thicker and thicker.

[Status: Gangrene]

A day ago, this new change appeared on the interface. The most direct effect Chen Fei felt was that his stamina was beginning to deplete at an accelerated rate.

After breaking through to the Skin Toughening realm, Chen Fei’s physical strength and senses improved a lot. However, with the addition of this gangrene, Chen Fei discovered that his physical strength was actually not much different from the original state of an ordinary person. In fact, it was even worse.

Chen Fei didn’t dare to let his guard down in this situation. He immediately consulted some doctors in the medical hall and finally got a result.

This was a mark left behind by the evil entity. If the evil entity were destroyed, the mark would naturally disappear. It would also disappear if his own cultivation became strong enough to directly erase this imprint

Even if he couldn’t, he could still take pills that strengthened his qi and blood to resist this kind of yin energy.

Chen Fei naturally didn’t dare to look for that evil entity. He couldn’t afford to eat medicinal pills either. The only thing left was to increase his cultivation. Moreover, Chen Fei dared not let the medical hall know that he had been marked. God only knew if the medical hall would find it troublesome and give up on him.

“It’s time to look for Pu Liao.”

In the evening, Chen Fei came to Pu Liao’s door and knocked lightly.

“Who is it?” Pu Liao’s hoarse voice sounded.

“It’s me, sir.” Chen Fei whispered.

“What is it?”

The door opened, and Pu Liao looked down at Chen Fei, not showing any intention of letting him in.

“Sir, do you have the time to teach me the techniques of Qingzheng Medical Hall now?”

“Oh, you’re here for this.”

Pu Liao looked at Chen Fei who was empty-handed, and his eyes couldn’t help but show some dissatisfaction. He couldn’t help but raise his voice, “Didn’t I tell you a few days ago that I’ve been busy recently and that I’ll teach you when I’m free? Don’t you understand that?”

“When will you be free, sir?”

“There are so many things to do. How would I know? When I have the time, I’ll naturally call you.”

Pu Liao seemed impatient. He waved his hand and said, “Alright, if there’s nothing else, then go back first. I still have things to do, so forgive me for not entertaining you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Pu Liao turned around and entered the house, closing the door. However, before the door could be closed, it was blocked by a hand.

“Are you courting death?!” Pu Liao widened his eyes and glared at Chen Fei viciously.

“Sir, I thought about it. You’ve been busy recently, so I shouldn’t disturb you. I wonder if there are any secret cultivation techniques that I can practice on my own,” Chen Fei said calmly as if he didn’t see Pu Liao’s expression.

Chen Fei finally understood today that Pu Liao wanted money. However, Chen Fei had only been a guard for three days, so would he get the money? Even the salary of the guards was only five taels of silver a month.

How could Pu Liao be interested in those five taels of silver? Since that was the case, he might as well make things clear.

“You want to practice by yourself? Hahaha!”

Pu Liao laughed loudly, his eyes full of mockery. Chen Fei had taken four months to break through to the Skin Toughening realm. His talent was almost at the bottom among martial artists.

He actually wanted to rely on his talent to practice higher martial arts techniques? He was simply dreaming and did not know his bounds.

“Alright, I have a cultivation technique here. Return it to me before noon tomorrow. If you can’t learn it by then, don’t say that I, Pu Liao, bullied you!”

Pu Liao returned to his room and took out two secret manuals, throwing them into Chen Fei’s hands. He sneered and slammed the door shut.

Some people watching from afar looked at Chen Fei’s back and could not help but shake their heads slightly. To think that a new guard actually dared to clash with an old guard like Pu Liao.

And now, he wanted to practice martial arts on his own?

If martial arts techniques were so easy to cultivate, then there wouldn’t be a need for masters. Without guidance, the intricacies of a cultivation technique could easily lead people astray. In the end, they would find that they had wasted their time and achieved nothing.

What was even more terrifying was that those who cultivated wrongly might not be able to advance in their entire lifetime and might even suffer internal injuries. In their eyes, Chen Fei was just a fool who didn’t know anything.

Chen Fei did not care about the gazes of the people around him and returned to his room with the secret manuals in his hands.

Two hours later, Chen Fei put down the secret manual and began to practice the two cultivation techniques. After another hour, Chen Fei looked at the interface.

[Cultivation Techniques: Clear Wind Sword (Beginner 1/100), Wind Suspending Force (Beginner 1/100), Extreme Mountain Fist (Perfection), Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique (Perfection)]

Relying on the foundation of the perfected Extreme Mountain Fist and the breathing technique, Chen Fei easily cultivated the two cultivation techniques to the beginner level.

The Clear Wind Sword was a technique to fight against enemies, while the Wind Suspending Force was used to increase one’s cultivation. The interface reflected that these two cultivation techniques could still be simplified. The only thing was that the cost of the refinement was a little high, costing ten taels of silver.

Chen Fei didn’t have ten taels of silver. He only had two taels of silver now. It was far from enough for the simplified version.

Chen Fei looked at the perfected breathing technique and then at the Wind Suspending Force. He blinked and subconsciously wanted to merge the breathing technique into the Wind Suspending Force. In the next moment, the two cultivation techniques disappeared at the same time, and a brand new cultivation technique appeared.

[Wind Suspending Breathing Technique (Master 107/1000)]

“It’s really possible!”

There was some joy in Chen Fei’s eyes. He was merely following his instincts just now. He did not expect that a cultivation technique after perfection could really be fused with other cultivation techniques.

However, if one thought about it, it made sense. After all, the perfection of the cultivation technique meant that one had already mastered everything about the cultivation technique and knew everything. Naturally, one could integrate it into other cultivation techniques.

This way, even if Chen Fei’s cultivation increased in the future, he wouldn’t waste any technique he couldn’t keep up with. He could completely combine them with new techniques and turn them into even more powerful cultivation techniques.

The Extreme Mountain Fist had also fused with the Clear Wind Sword. This time, Chen Fei had intentionally preserved the essence of the Clear Wind Sword, and only incorporated some of the methods of exerting force from the Extreme Mountain Fist.

[Clear Mountain Sword (Master 13/1000)]

The originally elegant and unrestrained Clear Wind Sword had become a more complex sword technique, but its power was not weak at all. It had even improved a little.

An hour later, after trying out both new cultivation techniques, Chen Fei’s face was filled with joy, but he was still a little dissatisfied.

He was happy because the two new cultivation techniques were a little stronger than the original ones. If he cultivated them to the perfection level, they would definitely far surpass the previous ones. After all, he had only just mastered them.

However, he was dissatisfied because after trying them a few times, he realized that the proficiency of the two cultivation techniques didn’t increase at all. If he continued to cultivate them without simplifying them, he estimated that he would only gain one or two points of improvement per day, and that was with the contribution of his previous techniques integrated into them.

This was probably the limit of Chen Fei’s current body’s talent. If he wanted to break through this limit, it would be difficult for him to do so in a gradual, systematic way.

“Money, money, money!”

Chen Fei’s brows were tightly locked. Various ways to earn money floated through his mind, making it difficult for him to decide on one.
