Mysterious Crystal Hand and Minor Thousand Seal
While cultivating in Yunhuang under Lin Xin Tong, Yi Yun Yi Yun developed the idea of becoming Savage Heaven Master when he saw Lin Xin Tong perform the Savage Heaven Technique in front of him.
This idea remains firmly rooted in Yi Yun's mind. With the Savage Heaven Technique, he can not only assist in his cultivation, but also earn resources by relying on Savage Heaven Technique.
Yi Yun possesses the Purple Crystal, which allows him to control energy, and he is exceptionally gifted in cultivating the Savage Heaven Technique.
However, in the past two years, Yi Yun has been busy cultivating because his own strength is too weak. He has only learned a little bit of the Savage Heaven Technique and has been putting it aside.
Now, Yi Yun's intention is not simply to cause trouble at the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party, but also to take this opportunity to truly master the Savage Heaven Technique. This will greatly help Yi Yun's future cultivation.
"Senior Su Jie, there are still two months until the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party. I would like to learn from you how to manipulate the Savage Power and form hand seals, as well as how to create relics."
"Two months, and you think you can learn two things? Do you think this is like learning dominoes?" Su Jie blinked, looking defeated by Yi Yun. "There are thousands of hand seal techniques. What do you want to learn?"
Yi Yun said, "I only want to learn two techniques. One is for manipulating the Savage Power to form hand seals, and the other is for the formation of relics."
Yi Yun was very self-aware. Although he had good comprehension, it was unrealistic for him to learn hundreds of hand seal techniques. So, Yi Yun decided to settle for two!
However, choosing only two methods presents too many limitations.
As Su Jie just said, Savage Heaven Master with a certain level of skill usually possesses at least a hundred different techniques.
Just like a great chef, you can't just rely on one cooking method: "Stir-frying".
Different dishes require different cooking methods.
Frying, stir-frying, boiling, deep-frying, braising, quick-frying, smoking, pickling, and so on! This allows you to choose the most suitable cooking method for different ingredients.
The same applies to the Savage Heaven Technique. If a Savage Heaven Master's hand seals are too simple, they will face various predicaments.
For example, some hand seals are only suitable for the lowest level of Savage Bone Relic. They are simple to use, consume little mental energy, are fast, and have a good success rate. However, they cannot be controlled when facing powerful Savage Power and are simply not applicable.
To refine high-level Savage Bone Relic, one must use even more advanced techniques. These techniques are tedious, slow, and consume an astonishing amount of mental energy. Even a skilled Savage Heaven Technique would be extremely exhausted after using such techniques and would have to rest.
Using this method to refine low-level Savage Bone Relic is undoubtedly using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
There are also hand seals that are suitable for specific energy attributes, such as fire or ice.
If the attribute is correct, using hand seals with the specific energy attribute will be much more effective and have a higher success rate.
In short, the higher the level of the Savage Bone Relic one wants to refine, the more complicated and difficult the hand seals become to learn. The more techniques a Savage Heaven Master knows, the more flexible and adaptable he can be when refining Savage Bone Relic. Sometimes, they can combine multiple techniques in the refining of a single relic, and which one to use depends entirely on the Savage Heaven Master's own choice.
Choosing the right hand seal technique is half the battle won.
Since Yi Yun had already decided, he would only choose two methods: one for forming hand seals with the Savage Power and one for forming a relic.
Therefore, these two methods must have at least a few key characteristics.
First, it must have broad applicability; it cannot be used for energy of a single attribute only, but must be usable for energy of all attributes.
Furthermore, these two methods must be applied to the refining of high-level Savage Bone Relic, because low-level Savage Bone Relic are no longer of any use to Yi Yun at this point.
Finally, these two techniques cannot be too complicated; if you can't learn them in two months, then nothing else matters.
Yi Yun already had a considerable understanding of the Savage Heaven Technique. Before he even asked Su Jie if he wanted to learn Savage Heaven Technique, he had already decided which technique he wanted to learn.
"Senior Su Jie, the two techniques I wish to learn are: the technique for manipulating the Savage Power to form hand seals— the Mysterious Crystal Hand, and the technique for forming relics— the Minor Thousand Seal."
These two methods meet all of Yi Yun's previous requirements.
It can not only refine high-grade Savage Bone Relic, but it is also easy to learn and has a wide range of applications.
Since both methods share these characteristics, it also means that they are not particularly sophisticated techniques.
The techniques are simple and easy to learn; however, both techniques have a very low success rate.
However, its wide applicability means that it is not applicable to anything within the realm of Savage Heaven Technique.
The Savage Heaven Technique emphasizes specialization; different energy attributes correspond to different techniques. Techniques like the Mysterious Crystal Hand and the Minor Thousand Seal are actually commonplace, and any Savage Heaven Master with a certain level of expertise in the Savage Heaven Technique would disdain using them.
Even the young disciples of the Savage Heaven Master, as long as they have outstanding talent, do not like these jack-of-all-trades techniques.
Only those Savage Heaven Masters who drift through life in small Lineage and sects can casually refine some Savage Bone Relic, which are treasured by the disciples of those small sects as if they had found a magic pill. Under such circumstances, their Savage Heaven Technique do not need to be very high, and they themselves do not have much talent. Therefore, they choose such a simple and easy-to-learn low-level method.
However, after hearing Yi Yun's "unambitious" choice, Su Jie actually felt that Yi Yun's choice was quite wise.
Everyone knows those advanced techniques are good, but what's the use of that? Only things you can learn are meaningful; if you can't learn them, no matter how good they are, it's all for nothing.
Everyone knows it's good to become Great Emperor, but if someone says they want to become Great Emperor when they first start learning martial arts, they'll probably be considered crazy.
With Yi Yun's current foundation, even the Mysterious Crystal Hand and the Minor Thousand Seal would be quite difficult for him; it would be good if he could even learn them.
However... even if Yi Yun masters the Mysterious Crystal Hand and the Minor Thousand Seal, he shouldn't expect to use them to attend the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party.
At the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party, when people come out to show off their skills, they all choose the most complex and difficult techniques to demonstrate.
If he were to pull out the Mysterious Crystal Hand and the Minor Thousand Seal, wouldn't that make people laugh their heads off?
"Senior Su Jie, how was it? You did take me on as a disciple before, and all I got to learn were a couple of techniques from you..."
As Yi Yun spoke, Su Jie rolled his eyes at him, "So you remembered you're my disciple now? Fine, I feel sorry for you. Teaching you these two hand seal techniques won't hurt. If you leave the Lin family and end up on the streets, at least you'll have a way to make a living, right?"
Yi Yun was speechless after hearing Su Jie's words.
Homeless? Even if I was forced to leave the Lin family, it shouldn't be this bad...
"Well, I can teach you, but let's get this straight, you can forget about the Savage Heaven Master Tea Party! I'll just take you there to broaden your horizons, but as for showing off your skills, don't embarrass me. I still have to save face in the Savage Heaven Technique circle."
"If you were to demonstrate these two common techniques on stage, those bastards from the Shentu Family would laugh themselves to death. Although you are only my nominal disciple, a nominal disciple is still a disciple. Your every move represents me. Do you understand?"
Su Jie earnestly instructed Yi Yun, believing that Yi Yun had only recently come into contact with the Savage Heaven Technique and did not yet know just how difficult it was.
Once Yi Yun has been taught these two techniques, he will understand the difficulty.
At the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party, all the masters and geniuses of the Savage Heaven Technique gather together, and when they take the stage to show off their skills, it will surely be a dazzling display that will leave everyone breathless.
This kind of skill display doesn't aim for the best, it only aims for the most difficult!
When Yi Yun sees the gap between himself and those geniuses, he'll probably realize how naive and ridiculous his original ideas were.
Unless Yi Yun's brain has been squeezed by a door, he won't go on stage to be abused.
He has a grudge against Shentu Nantian, so why would he act like a clown in front of Shentu Nantian? Isn't that insane?
"Thank you, Senior Su."
Yi Yun was overjoyed. Su Jie's level of Savage Heaven Technique was beyond doubt. With him teaching him, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"As for your appearance..." Su Jie stroked his chin and said, "It's too difficult to use Shentu Family to prevent those old monsters from noticing anything amiss, but there is a very simple method: wear a mask."
"There are some rare materials in this world that can completely isolate perception, even from the Emperor's senses. I happen to have one of these masks."
"As for changing the voice, that's even simpler; just change the tone a little."
Some ancient monsters with unfathomable cultivation can see through disguise techniques, but when it comes to voice alteration, as long as the tone is changed, no matter how strong they are, they cannot guess the speaker's original tone based on the changed tone, because the two are completely unrelated.
"That's great!" Yi Yun said happily. Wearing a mask is not strange at all. In the martial arts world, there are many people whose habits are different from ordinary people.
Furthermore, Shentu Nantian would never have imagined that he would come to the Tianyuan Realm and even participate in the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party.
"Senior Su Jie, there's no time to lose. If you have time now, please teach me the Mysterious Crystal Hand and the Minor Thousand Seal!"
With only two months left, time was precious, Yi Yun naturally had to seize the opportunity.
Su Jie stroked his beard, seemingly a little impatient. "Fine, I'll just teach you these two methods. My time is very precious!"
