Engraving Cultivation Method

Shrek Academy, admissions day.

As the vice dean of the Soul Guide Department, Huo Yuhao naturally had his own private office. Though he almost never came here normally, since he had opened a Soul Guide Class of his own, he could only come here to handle affairs now.

While at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy, Huo Yuhao had also sorted out his future teaching plans.

Of course, he definitely did not have time to teach every day. Therefore, while keeping the number of students as low as possible, Huo Yuhao chose to prioritize the highest possible quality.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao was considering whether to drag Ning Tian over as a teaching assistant and teach alongside her, fulfilling his duty as a "teacher."

Although the two had not been in contact since he took Ning Tian as his student two months ago.

However, ever since word spread that Huo Yuhao had confirmed his affiliation with Shrek, the Treasure Pavilion had sent his nominal "teacher" updates on Ning Tian's cultivation progress every other week.

They could not have been more sincere.

The talent of this former classmate from his previous life was beyond doubt. Moreover, as the Young Sect Leader of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, she was surely capable at management. In a sense, this would also be helping her build a foundation for the future.

If he invited her to serve as a teaching assistant, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would surely not refuse.

After all, Huo Yuhao did not care whether the students he taught could be used by him. What he cared about was whether he could expand his influence and harvest their emotions more effectively.

In a sense, he and the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect were simply taking what they each needed.

But after thinking it over, Huo Yuhao decided to forget it for now and wait until Ning Tian reached two rings before discussing teaching.

It was worth mentioning that after Shrek announced Huo Yuhao's affiliation, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect immediately began selling the batch of "Soul Power Storage Cores" Huo Yuhao had previously given them.

At the same time, the name "Master Tianmeng" truly began to resound throughout the Douluo Original Three Kingdoms.

Huo Yuhao believed that once the "Soul Power Storage Cores" reached the Sun Moon Empire, the emotional fluctuations they generated would definitely satisfy him.

Just as Huo Yuhao was agonizing over whether to drag Fan Yu over to be a tool, someone knocked on his office door.

Huo Yuhao subconsciously used Spiritual Detection to look over, and his expression shifted slightly in surprise.

After hesitating for a moment, Huo Yuhao spoke softly. "Come in."

The door opened, and Qian Duoduo entered.

He greeted Huo Yuhao first, then walked up to his desk and carefully said,

"Um... Brother Tianmeng, what's going on with that Soul Guide Class you opened? Why are you only admitting ten people?"

Shrek's Soul Guide Department had virtually no reputation in the outside world.

More than that, the Soul Guide Department's students could only be recruited externally by its teachers themselves, such as Fan Yu.

Now that the academy had finally opened a Soul Guide Class and could publicly recruit students, Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er, and the others naturally hoped to take in as many students as possible so the Soul Guide Department could develop.

Yet Huo Yuhao refused to follow convention and directly limited enrollment to just ten people!

When the enrollment restriction was announced, Qian Duoduo had been dumbfounded. But there was nothing he could do. After all, the entire Soul Guide Class was under Huo Yuhao's control, and Mu En had acknowledged that. They did not dare interfere casually.

With no other choice, Qian Duoduo could only come here to find Huo Yuhao and see whether there was still room to change things.

"Oh, so that's what this is about."

After Qian Duoduo explained his purpose, Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, understanding his meaning before falling into thought.

A tool had seemingly delivered itself to his doorstep?

After pondering for a moment, Huo Yuhao said,

"You should know that I have my own research as well, and I don't have much time to teach students. So the fewer people there are, the more time it saves me.

"I understand Dean Qian's thoughts. You want to recruit more students, but Dean Qian, I simply don't have that much time."

Huo Yuhao put slight emphasis on the words "that much time," and Qian Duoduo immediately understood. He hurriedly said,

"The other teachers in our Soul Guide Department can help!"

Huo Yuhao smiled and said softly, "Then let's expand enrollment to forty people, the standard size of a class.

"I'll be responsible for Monday morning classes every week. Dean Qian, you and the others can handle the remaining lessons. How does that sound?"

"No problem, no problem! It's our duty!"

Qian Duoduo laughed heartily and agreed without hesitation.

Including the teachers, their entire Soul Guide Department had only a little over twenty people. Now, forty more students were appearing all at once. Even if they might not end up training all forty successfully, it was still a beginning!

"This is my teaching plan. Dean Qian, why don't you take a look?"

"Alright." Qian Duoduo hurriedly accepted the document Huo Yuhao handed him and opened it to read.

Yet as soon as he saw it, Qian Duoduo's expression changed slightly.

"Brother Tianmeng, is this 'Engraving Cultivation Method' real?"

"Mm, of course. Otherwise, why do you think I cultivate so quickly?"

As everyone knew, most metals contained a special energy. This energy was extremely faint, but according to the properties of the metal, it could be used to resonate with Heaven and Earth Origin Energy.

The so-called "Engraving Cultivation Method" involved a Soul Engineer engraving special Soul Guide Arrays onto metal, automatically stimulating the special energy within the metal and resonating with Heaven and Earth Origin Energy.

During this process, the cultivator could use their own Soul Power to exchange for Heaven and Earth Origin Energy and draw it into their body, achieving an effect similar to ordinary meditation cultivation.

Moreover, because one was engraving Soul Guide Arrays during this process, it was essentially also training in Soul Tools.

It was worth mentioning that all Soul Engineers would inadvertently resonate with Heaven and Earth Origin Energy while engraving Soul Guide Arrays and crafting Soul Tools, thereby achieving a cultivation effect.

It was simply that no one had organized it systematically. Furthermore, the cultivation effect produced by this unstructured resonance was only around one-tenth of normal cultivation, or even less, so nobody paid attention to it.

In his previous life, after Huo Yuhao gave up cultivating Soul Tools at Xuan Ziwen's persuasion, he would occasionally wonder whether there was a method that allowed Soul Power cultivation and Soul Tool engraving to be carried out at the same time. Naturally, it had all been futile.

In this life, Huo Yuhao had originally wanted to develop a "Heaven and Earth Origin Energy Resonator" to speed up cultivation, but he had unexpectedly discovered this method instead.

Moreover, after Huo Yuhao observed Xiao Hongchen using metal to cultivate, this method was refined and enhanced.

Still, what Huo Yuhao had presented was a weakened version. Cultivating with this method was only sixty percent as efficient as normal meditation cultivation.

After all, its focus was still on engraving Soul Guide Arrays, so naturally it could not fully replace ordinary meditation cultivation.

Even so, it was more than enough to astonish people.
