Switching Cultivation Methods
Inside the City Lord's Manor, in a quiet room, Yang Tianyou sat cross-legged, surrounded by rich Spiritual Qi.
Below Crouching Ox Pass lies a Third-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein, and the City Lord's Manor is located directly above this Spirit Vein, so it's not surprising that it has such a high concentration of Spiritual Qi.
However, for Cultivators, a certain level of Spiritual Qi concentration is sufficient; any more than that will not have much effect.
After all, a cultivator's limits are fixed; the amount of Spiritual Qi he can absorb and refine each day is limited. Otherwise, those powerful forces would have been filled with cultivators who Sage Manifestation or Spirit Transformation long ago.
Of course, a high concentration of Spiritual Qi has many benefits, such as the speed at which one can switch cultivation Cultivation Method.
Switching to a different Cultivation Method doesn't mean starting cultivation anew. Since you've already reached that level and your physical foundation is there, you only need to change the nature of your Spiritual Power. You don't need to open up new Spirit Vein or temper your Fleshly Body again.
Since nothing major had happened in the Lineage these past few months, Yang Tianyou stayed in Yunhua and used the rich Spiritual Qi of the Third-Tier Spirit Vein to cultivate the "White Tiger Constellation Exposition".
As he circulated his Cultivation Method, wisps of Spiritual Qi surged forth, forming a faint vortex above his head.
The "White Tiger Constellation Exposition" is divided into two parts: Spell Cultivator and Body Cultivator. It can be practiced separately or together.
Yang Tianyou naturally chose to Dual Cultivation of Spell and Body and his spiritual power. As his cultivation deepened, new Spirit Mark appeared on the surface of his skin.
Unlike the golden Spirit Mark formed by the previous "Spirit-Shattering Instruction", the Spirit Mark formed by the Body Cultivator Cultivation Method in "White Tiger Constellation Exposition" are white-gold, giving people a noble and cold feeling.
In addition to the changes in his physique, Yang Tianyou's Spiritual Power also gradually Bloodline Metamorphosis, with strands of Power of the Stars merging into it, gradually Bloodline Metamorphosis from a single Metal-Attribute Power into a new Spiritual Power that is a composite of Metal Attribute and Power of the Stars.
This new Spiritual Power, unlike its original sharpness and domineering nature, has become more ethereal and gentle, more inclusive, but its power has been enhanced by more than one level.
And so, Yang Tianyou began his seclusion once again.
Time flies, and four months have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Purple Moon Mountain.
Inside the Bamboo House, Yang Haoyu, who was also in seclusion cultivating and refining his Spiritual Power in an effort to reach the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection as soon as possible, frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes.
With a flick of his sleeve, an ancient bronze mirror slowly flew out and floated gently in front of her.
Soon, ripples appeared on the mirror's surface, and a figure emerged—it was Yang Qiongye.
"Qiong Ye, why did you contact me so suddenly? Has something happened to the Zhao Household?" Yang Haoyu asked.
"Old Ancestor, I have received news that in a month, the Zhao Household Remnants will be traveling to Ba Commandery aboard the Cloudglow Sect's Cross-Commandery Flying Boat," Yang Qiongye said respectfully.
"Cross-Commandery Flying Boat?" Yang Haoyu's expression hardened. "What do you plan to do?"
"Your Old Ancestor, I believe this is a good opportunity to ambush and Zhao Household Remnants."
"Intercept and kill? We don't have any connections in Silver River County. Acting rashly is too risky. There's no need to consider this." Yang Haoyu refused decisively.
"Old Ancestor has misunderstood me," Yang Qiongye quickly said. "What I meant was to ambush and kill the Zhao Household Remnants in Ba Commandery."
"Ambush in Ba Commandery... you mean, travel with the Zhao Household Remnants on Cross-Commandery Flying Boat?" Yang Haoyu asked thoughtfully.
After a moment, she shook her head. "This is not a good idea. Being on the same Flying Boat, the chances of being discovered by the Zhao Household Remnants are too high. If the ambush fails, it will easily alert them."
Unexpectedly, after Yang Haoyu finished speaking, Yang Qiongye smiled confidently, "Old Ancestor, I have already solved the problem you mentioned."
"Hmm?" Yang Haoyu looked puzzled.
"I see. This is all thanks to Tianyou. Didn't he leave me a Communication Talisman?..."
As Yang Qiongye recounted the events, Yang Haoyu understood the cause and effect of the matter.
To delve into this matter, we need to go back several years.
At that time, Yang Tianyou was hunting down Darkblood Old Devil in order to avenge his Fifteenth Brother Yang Tianwang, and rescued Hong Qing from the latter's clutches.
Hong Qing was a grateful person. After being rescued by Yang Tianyou, he always called him his benefactor. Later, the two even explored the magma Earth Veins together and obtained many treasures.
Back in the Black Market, Yang Tianyou gave Hong Qing pointers on the Spirit-Transforming Inducement Guide, which made the latter even more grateful to him.
After that, the two parted ways. Hong Qing returned to the Cloudglow Sect and used the treasures he had obtained to exchange for a large number of Contribution Points. In a chance encounter, he gained the appreciation of the sect elders, who took him in as a disciple.
With a powerful backer, Hong Qing's status in the Cloudglow Sect rose rapidly. He quickly achieved Foundation Establishment and became a sect steward.
After Yang Qiongye contacted him, Hong Qing offered a lot of help without hesitation, and used his connections to help Yang Qiongye monitor the Zhao Household Remnants.
As luck would have it, the Golden Core Cultivator who was in charge of guarding the Cloudglow Sect's Cross-Commandery Flying Boat was none other than Hong Qing's master.
With this connection, it would be incredibly easy for Hong Qing to secretly plant one or two cultivators on the Flying Boat.
The other disciples of the Cloudglow Sect wouldn't embarrass him over such a trivial matter.
"I see. It's true that every action has its own destiny. The good deeds Tianyou planted have finally paid off." Yang Haoyu nodded slightly, a broad smile on his face.
Yang Qiongye added, "Tianyou is indeed impeccable; in both his conduct and his work, he is a model for the clan."
"Alright, since that's the case, then it's decided. I will send Tianyou and Wolf Ancestor to Silver River County to intercept and kill the Zhao Household Remnants."
"Old Ancestor!" Yang Qiongye bowed and his figure gradually disappeared into the Origin Void Mirror.
With a flick of his sleeve, Yang Haoyu put away the Origin Void Mirror and first sent out a Communication Talisman, telling Yang Tianyou to return to Purple Moon Mountain in half a month.
She pondered for a moment, then murmured, "The Zhao Household Remnants might have some hidden cards; we must be prepared."
After saying that, she stood up, and the Kun Earth Cauldron flew out from her Dantian, with the Earthheart Flame burning fiercely inside.
"What kind of Forbidden Artifact should I forge..."
In the Seclusion Chamber of the City Lord's Manor's Mansion in Crouching Ox Pass, Yang Tianyou sat cross-legged.
Four months later, with the help of the rich Spiritual Qi of the Third-Tier Spirit Vein, he had cultivated the "White Tiger Constellation Exposition" to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
This Cultivation Method truly lives up to its reputation as the foundational Cultivation Method of the Four Symbols Sect. Even without forming the final White Tiger Constellation Spirit Body, the quality of the Spiritual Power cultivated from it is several times purer than that of the "Spirit-Shattering Instruction."
Physical strength has also improved somewhat, especially in the bones.
Tiger-type Demon Beast are known for their strong and heavy bones. Normally, tiger bones weigh twice as much as ox bones of the same rank, and are even stronger.
The "White Tiger Constellation Exposition" Cultivation Method uses the White Tiger of the Four Symbols as its supreme symbol, and the physique cultivated naturally imitates the constitution of the White Tiger.
