Cultivation Method

[Day 292: You wandered around In The City and heard that the Mitel Auction House was auctioning Na Rings. You touched the Na Ring on your person and smiled.]

[Day 357: The Xiao Family tested Dou Qi Cultivation once again. The younger generation was required to go On Stage for testing. Before everyone's eyes, you revealed the strength of Dou Qi Power Stage Seven, leaving the Xiao Family utterly shocked.]

[Day 358: Because of your Cultivation Talent, the clan bestowed upon you one maid and two guards. Your talent gradually began to spread.]

[Day 360: You refused Xiao Ning and the others' invitation to play together and cultivated alone.]

[Day 535: You condensed a Qi Cyclone and broke through to become a Dou Zhe. You informed the clan elders of this, hoping to obtain a Cultivation Method.]

[Day 537: Your Dou Qi Attribute was tested as Fire Attribute. Although you had known this long ago, you were still disappointed that without even a trace of Wood Attribute, you could not become an Alchemist. Because of your exceptional talent, you were approved to enter the Dou Qi Pavilion to choose a Cultivation Method. There, you obtained the Yellow Tier High Grade Cultivation Technique, Flame Refining Burning.]

[Day 662: Jia Nan Academy came to Wu Tan City to recruit students. Your talent shocked the instructors, and you passed the assessment smoothly.]

[Day 663: Before you left, the Great Elder gave you a Silver Card containing thirty thousand gold coins.]

[Day 672: You arrived at Jia Nan Academy, filled with excitement and feeling that the future was bright.]

[Day 1780: To temper yourself, you joined the Jia Nan Academy Enforcement Team and had an Enforcement Robe custom-made for yourself. →]

[Day 2480: You cultivated in the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower for too long and were afflicted by Fire Poison.]

[Day 2498: You gathered quite a few Precious Medicinal Herbs and exchanged them for Fire Energy. You used the Fire Energy to buy pills and resolve the Fire Poison. Thinking of how hard you had worked, you envied those wealthy Alchemists and regretted not having the talent to become one.]

[Day 2499: You went to cultivate in the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower.]

[Day 3401: You arrived at...]

[Day 3401: In a small town, you heard that a Secret Realm seemed to have opened nearby, so you set out for it.]

[Day 3402: You did not find many experts. It seemed the news had not spread yet. That night, the Secret Realm opened.]

[Day 3420: You discovered that this Secret Realm seemed extremely ancient and perilous. From what others said, you learned that this was its first opening. Within the Secret Realm, you obtained the Earth Tier Middle Grade Dou Technique, Wind Thunder Double Wings, and the Di Rank Advanced Cultivation Technique, Spirit Nourishing Technique.]

[Day 3421: You fought fiercely with others and seized five bottles of Sixth Rank pills, Black Tortoise Pills.]

[Day 3422: While others were fighting fiercely, you stole their target, Mysterious Ice Blue Grass.]

[Day 3423: You were injured after being besieged, but ultimately escaped successfully.]

[Day 3427: You discovered that you could not get out. Everyone who had entered with you was trapped in the Secret Realm.]

[Day 3430: The space within the Secret Realm became unstable. You panicked and repeatedly cursed your bad luck.]

[Day 3434: The Secret Realm shattered. You died.]

[Simulation End--]

[Extracting Talent Item--]

[Currently available: ten gold coins, Yellow Rank Mid Grade Dou Technique Shattering Stele Hand, Di Rank Advanced Cultivation Technique Spirit Nourishing Technique.]

[Please choose one.]

Xiao Ming: ...

Looking at the simulation results, Xiao Ming was truly speechless. Leaving aside the frustrating way he had died in the Life Simulation, was there even a choice to be made here?

Even an idiot knew what to pick!

Still, the Life Simulator drew items at random. Getting one good item out of three was already quite nice.

Xiao Ming only hoped that the Life Simulator would have a Guaranteed Mechanism in the future. He did not want some round to present options like one gold coin, two gold coins, and three gold coins, or he would truly break down.

[Ding, please choose one.]

"I choose the Di Rank Advanced Cultivation Technique, Spirit Nourishing Technique."

Xiao Ming easily caught the white jade slip that appeared before him. He widened his eyes and carefully studied this Cultivation Technique that could stir up bloody storms across the Northwest Continent.

The jade slip was made from an unknown jade that emitted white light. Strange characters were carved across its surface, and it felt indescribably warm and smooth in his hand.

"Hm?"

Xiao Ming seemed to have discovered something. To confirm his guess, he injected a wisp of Dou Qi into the jade slip.

He had only meant to try it, but the Dou Qi actually slipped smoothly inside.

"There really is something strange about it."

Frowning, Xiao Ming injected another wisp of Dou Qi, and it was absorbed just as smoothly.

No matter how much Dou Qi Xiao Ming poured into it afterward, the jade slip accepted it all without rejection and showed no obvious change. At most, the white glow around it seemed to brighten by the tiniest amount.

"Why can a high-grade Cultivation Technique jade slip absorb Dou Qi? That's incredible. I wonder what material it was made from."

After injecting too much Dou Qi, Xiao Ming collapsed onto the ground. After hesitating for a while, he suddenly sat up.

"Why worry about that? I should first see how this Cultivation Technique is cultivated."

He brought the jade slip close to his forehead and focused his Mental Perception.

Before long, Xiao Ming suddenly opened his eyes and burst into laughter. Only after a while did he calm himself.

There was naturally a reason why Xiao Ming was so happy.

When he had chosen the Spirit Nourishing Technique, he had worried that its attribute would not match his own. After all, the Life Simulator had not marked its attribute when presenting the options. If their attributes differed, the Cultivation Technique would have been useless to him.

Yet after receiving and browsing the information within the jade slip, he was shocked to discover that this Cultivation Technique was actually attribute-less.

Of course, that was not what made him so happy. What truly delighted him was that this Cultivation Technique was incredibly powerful.

According to its description, the Spirit Nourishing Technique had two methods of cultivation. The first was to cultivate it and then use Devouring on Special Items to form a special "spirit" within the body. This spirit might be very weak at first, but it could grow by Devouring Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects. It could even eventually develop intelligence. When released in battle, it would far surpass ordinary moves.

The second method was far more ordinary. It was cultivated directly like any normal Cultivation Technique. Compared to the first method, the second treated the cultivator themself as a spirit to be nurtured. The higher one's cultivation level and the longer one cultivated, the more one's Dou Qi, recovery ability, Mental Perception, and physical strength would surpass ordinary experts of the same level. One could probably fight several opponents alone. This method had its limits, however; after reaching a certain point, its increase would no longer be so great.

These two methods did not seem particularly impressive. After all, this was a Di Rank Advanced Cultivation Technique. Wasn't that level of power only normal?

But what if Xiao Ming said that the two methods could be cultivated together? Not only could they be cultivated together, but doing so would also provide an additional boost.

When cultivated simultaneously, the body could establish a closer connection with the spirit within it. If the spirit used Devouring on Heaven and Earth Strange Objects, it would nourish the cultivator in return.

Some things were simply unsuitable for the human body to consume, but the spirit had no such concerns. It could devour them without restraint. Moreover, because the spirit's nourishment would always remain, the cultivator could also continue growing stronger.

In the end, someone who cultivated this Cultivation Technique might not merely be able to fight several opponents alone. They might even be able to fight dozens alone.

"Such a powerful Cultivation Technique is only Di Rank Advanced. It feels almost as powerful as Old Man Yao's Flame Mantra."
