After decompressing only the first layer of the technique, Chu Fei discovered the difference between the two cultivation methods. More precisely, he found what was wrong with the Spring Thunder Cultivation Method.
A complete cultivation method was octal—or, more precisely, a "4×2" system modeled after genes.
Genes consisted of four base pairs and eight bases, forming a fundamental unit.
A careful look at genes revealed that they closely matched the characteristics of yin-yang and the Eight Trigrams.
Both genes and the Eight Trigrams used an octal system, yet neither was a simple base-eight or 4×2 system. They both contained the philosophy of yin and yang.
Therefore, a complete cultivation method used a 4×2 system, not a simple octal system.
After being fully decompressed, however, the Spring Thunder Cultivation Method clearly revealed a "4+4" structure.
To make an analogy, a 4×2 system was the union of male and female, yin and yang. It could produce offspring; it held hope. A 4+4 system, meanwhile, was just man on top of man. The difference was obvious.
In short, the Spring Thunder Cultivation Method was not truly octal. It was more like two quaternary cultivation methods stitched together.
Although the two parts supplemented each other, they were not an innate octal system in the end.
Yet after studying it more deeply, Chu Fei had to admit that while this method's design logic took shortcuts, it was also exquisitely ingenious.
First, the Spring Thunder Cultivation Method was easier to cultivate!
Why were there quite a few complete octal cultivation methods on the market in Red Pine City, yet no one cultivated them, to the point that they had become somewhat oversupplied?
Granted, these octal cultivation methods were all incomplete goods, but they were still octal cultivation methods. They could reach the level of a 10.0
