Heaven Defying Soul Splitting Technique

After returning to his little hut, Ning Ri seized the time to practice his blade for half an hour, grinding out one skill point.

After practicing, he was indeed exhausted from the grind, so he slept for a while to restore his spirits.

After sleeping for two hours, he got up in the dead of night and continued practicing.

He did not stop until he had ground out six skill points.

One plus six—seven skill points in hand meant he could become a peak Qi Refining cultivator anytime, anywhere.

Ning Ri was very satisfied.

However, aside from that, he had no attack methods. Both Gale Step and Crocodile Turtle Iron Bone Skill were incomplete, while Spirit Absorption Technique could hardly be considered an attack method.

As for [Heavenly Craftsman - Incomplete Version], that went without saying.

After thinking it over, he decided to take on a task before setting out and earn some Contribution Points.

At the very least, he would get hold of one or two offensive arts before leaving.

In truth, he had also considered that if he directly displayed peak Qi Refining cultivation, the people of the Heaven Defying Sect would probably immediately pull him into the Inner Sect and hand him Foundation Establishment Cultivation Methods. Offensive arts would naturally be no problem.

But he still wanted to improve his aptitude.

If he rashly revealed his peak Qi Refining cultivation, the people of the Heaven Defying Sect might no longer believe there was any problem with his aptitude.

That would not do!

He spent the entire night grinding blade techniques. By the time he left his little hut, dawn had already broken.

Under the sunlight, Ning Ri arrived at the place where Outer Sect disciples accepted tasks—

[Lotus Mountain].

Before Lotus Mountain lay Lotus Lake, and at the center of the lake stood Lotus Pavilion, where tasks could be accepted.

When Ning Ri arrived, there were not many people in Lotus Pavilion, only one senior brother and one senior sister.

Before he could even salute after walking over, the senior brother and senior sister's eyes lit up. One of the senior brothers spoke first. "You're Ning Ri, right?!"

The other senior sister also smiled. "I remember you too!"

Ning Ri revealed a cheerful smile. "Good morning, Senior Brother and Senior Sister! This junior is indeed Ning Ri!"

The senior sister smiled. "Hello, Junior Brother Ning. You left a deep impression on me."

"Because you said you wanted to Yang for a bit, and your name is also related to Yang, everyone in the Inner Sect now calls you Younger Brother Yang."

After saying that, the senior sister seemed to recall something funny and began covering her mouth, her shoulders shaking...

Ning Ri: "..."

The other senior brother waved his hand. "Don't joke around, Junior Brother Ning. Did you come to accept a task today?"

Ning Ri said, "Yes! I want to take on some tasks and see if I can exchange for arts at the Pillars of Cultivation Pavilion!"

Hearing this, the senior brother could not help pondering. "It's like this: for disciples who have only just entered the sect and whose cultivation is relatively weak, Lotus Pavilion cannot issue overly difficult tasks."

"So, the only tasks you can currently accept are sect errands or errands down the mountain."

"But these tasks are extremely trivial and offer very few Contribution Points."

"Most people choose to wait until their cultivation is stronger before coming to accept tasks."

"Which will you choose?"

"I'll choose this one. Copper coins will do. Thank you, Immortal Ning!"

At the entrance to Zhao Village, Ning Ri sat in a gazebo. A middle-aged man dressed in coarse cloth smiled as he pointed to Ning Ri's left.

To Ning Ri's left were bags of copper coins, while to his right was a jade slip. This jade slip possessed an automatic medical art; as long as it was activated with spiritual power and a mortal touched it, it could roughly discern seven or eight tenths of the mortal's ailment.

Ning Ri handed the copper coins to the middle-aged man. "Here, take them."

"Thank you, Immortal Ning!" The middle-aged man chuckled, then set down a large basin of braised pork before turning to leave. Next came the following person...

Ning Ri directly stored the large basin of braised pork into his Disciple Token.

The Disciple Tokens issued by the Heaven Defying Sect had storage space inside them.

Watching a large basin of braised pork vanish into thin air, the villagers all cried out in amazement—

So incredible!

"Next."

If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author; perhaps it was simply renamed!

Then Ning Ri spoke again.

At Lotus Pavilion, Ning Ri had ultimately chosen "errands down the mountain." The content of the errands-down-the-mountain task was: purchase Bigu Pill ingredients.

When Ning Ri had lived near the Heaven Defying Sect before, the Heaven Defying Sect would issue daily-pay jobs.

He had done them before as well.

But now that Ning Ri had joined the Heaven Defying Sect, his responsibility was: issuing daily-pay jobs to the villagers.

To Ning Ri, this was [going from a daily laborer to the stationmaster].

The task he had brought the villagers today was: purchasing Bigu Pill ingredients.

Bigu Pill ingredients were the dishes cooked by the villagers.

After the villagers finished cooking, they brought the dishes over. He collected the dishes, then paid them or helped treat their illnesses. It was that simple.

Ning Ri felt this counted as charity. After all, it was not as though cooking for themselves was particularly difficult for the people of the Heaven Defying Sect.

In reality, he felt that aside from aiding the villagers, the Heaven Defying Sect's actions also allowed disciples to stay stationed down the mountain and deter certain petty scoundrels.

After handling everyone's dishes, Ning Ri hurried back to the sect and accepted another new task—

Go to another small village to collect wild medicinal herbs.

Quite a few Outer Sect disciples were proud and arrogant. They had never liked running such trivial tasks and felt they delayed cultivation.

They usually waited until their cultivation was stronger before directly taking tasks that could be completed in one stroke and offered a huge number of Contribution Points, but Ning Ri did not care.

He could practice his blade while running tasks, so it did not delay him in the slightest.

After running tasks for two days, Ning Ri had accumulated twenty skill points and finally earned enough Contribution Points for an offensive art. He exchanged them for [Lightning Control Palm], which had imposing momentum, could intimidate people, and was not afraid of elemental restraints.

Elemental restraints referred to things such as water restraining fire and fire restraining wood.

Then, he arrived before the gates of the Heaven Defying Sect and took out a jade slip.

The entire jade slip gleamed golden, with the words Golden Strategy written upon it, giving off an impression of dazzling splendor.

Ning Ri silently thought—

As expected of the wealthiest sect in the Cultivation World.

And the jade slip in his hand was the summoning jade slip of [Golden Strategy Tally]!

Before forming hand seals to summon the driver... ah, summon a cultivator, Ning Ri first opened his panel.

Ning Ri first wanted to learn [Heaven Defying Soul Splitting Technique] and create a new user identity.

However, what puzzled Ning Ri was—

Elder Zhou Hai had clearly said that the Heaven Defying Soul Splitting Technique he gave him was a simplified version.

Yet when this art entered the panel, it did not have the word "Incomplete" like the other cultivation methods.

What was going on?

Could it be that even if a cultivation method had been simplified and cut down, the panel could still derive its complete version?!

Thinking of the previous Spirit Absorption Technique, Ning Ri's eyes immediately lit up...

Then, without hesitation, he began ruthlessly adding points to [Heaven Defying Soul Splitting Technique]!
