The Method of Dual Cultivation, Mastery

Upon hearing these words from Lin Zhentian, everyone present—whether they were elders or juniors of the Lin Clan—could not hide the envy in their eyes as they looked at Lin Yan.

Judging by Lin Zhentian's current attitude, he had clearly decided to focus on cultivating Lin Yan.

The Pure Yang Finger and the Green Origin Technique were the highest-level martial arts and cultivation methods within the Lin Clan. By so easily bestowing these upon Lin Yan, Lin Zhentian had fully expressed his determination.

Consequently, the gazes of many Lin Clan elders shifted instantly as they continued to watch Lin Yan.

After all, while Lin Yan had previously possessed extraordinary talent and formidable strength, his prowess had been limited to his individual performance. But now that Lin Zhentian had explicitly signaled his intention to back him, Lin Yan's status within the Lin Clan would likely skyrocket, second only to Lin Zhentian himself.

He truly is worthy of being himself, to be held in such high regard by Grandfather.

Lin Xia could not help but sigh with emotion. Naturally, she felt happy for Lin Yan, as her relationship with him had always been quite good.

Brother Lin Yan has really hit the jackpot this time, though it's only right; he is truly terrifyingly strong.

Lin Dong felt equally happy for Lin Yan. After everything they had been through, he had come to treat Lin Yan as his own brother, and Lin Dong had always been sincere toward his brothers.

However, a fighting spirit remained in Lin Dong's eyes as he pondered to himself.

It seems I need to train harder. Although I can defeat Lei Li, I cannot do it as effortlessly as Brother Lin Yan.

But my advantage lies in the Stone Talisman. With such a cheat-like existence, it would be inexcusable if I couldn't catch up to Brother Lin Yan, who lacks such an advantage, through diligent practice.

The other juniors of the clan looked at Lin Yan with faces full of envy.

As for the young, graceful maidens, they looked at Lin Yan with a hint of longing. They all knew that Lin Yan was unattached, and a youth like him—possessing such great strength, favored by the Clan Head, and handsome to boot—had become the ultimate prize in their eyes.

Soon, the maidens were lost in wild fantasies about Lin Yan, unable to help but cross their legs tightly.

Ugh, these people are so shameless. Qing Tan watched the girls with a look of displeasure.

Even Lin Xia frowned imperceptibly.

"Thank you, Clan Head."

Lin Yan paid little attention to all of that.

He accepted Lin Zhentian's kindness directly.

Over the following period, Lin Yan began to study the cultivation methods and martial arts provided by Lin Zhentian.

In truth, the Pure Yang Finger was manageable.

Although it was a fourth-grade martial art and considered the highest level within the Lin Clan, Lin Yan had already mastered two Xuan-tier high-level Dou Techniques.

In this regard, he already possessed a solid foundation of experience.

Therefore, he did not expend much effort to master this fourth-grade martial art.

However, the Green Origin Technique was different.

Previously, upon learning that the cultivation systems of the Dou Qi Continent and the Martial Movement Continent were different, Lin Yan had reached a conclusion.

That was, the Dou Qi Continent excelled in cultivating Qi, while the Martial Movement Continent excelled in tempering the body.

Thus, Lin Yan had formed a bold concept at the time.

He would take the best of both worlds: use the methods of the Dou Qi Continent to cultivate Qi, and the methods of the Martial Movement Continent to temper the body.

However, because he had never obtained a cultivation method from this side, he had only learned the Burning Art early on after reaching the Earth Origin Realm, and had never studied a local technique.

Now was the time for Lin Yan to experiment.

If Lin Yan's final experiment succeeded, it would mean he could simultaneously practice cultivation methods from both the Dou Qi Continent and the Martial Movement Continent.

For Lin Yan, the benefits would be immense.

So that's how it is. Is this a cultivation method from the Martial Movement World?

Inside the room, after reading through the cultivation method, Lin Yan handed it to Yao Lao. Yao Lao finished reading, nodded, and summarized with a touch of emotion.

"In short, the cultivation methods of this world and those of our Dou Qi Continent follow entirely different paths."

"The methods of our Dou Qi Continent focus on the Dou Qi Whirlpool, cultivating a vortex at the core of the body to circulate energy to the limbs and meridians. The primary goal is storage and more precise control of Dou Qi."

"But the methods of the Martial Movement World are completely different. Their approach is to open up special, hidden meridians in the body, creating multiple points of flow to increase the circulation speed of Yuan Power within the body."

"It is also an effective method."

After listening, Lin Yan asked Yao Lao, "Senior Yao Lao, do you think these two types of cultivation methods can be practiced simultaneously?"

Yao Lao stroked his beard upon hearing this and nodded at Lin Yan. "Theoretically, there is no problem."

"After all, the two cultivation styles do not conflict at all."

"In fact, one could say they are somewhat complementary."

"Because when condensing a Dou Qi Whirlpool, the Dou Qi ultimately still flows through the meridians. And if you open the meridians without storage, the total amount of Yuan Power won't increase significantly, and it isn't convenient to control."

"So, if the two can be combined, it would be quite excellent."

Yao Lao offered his insight.

Lin Yan's eyes grew excited upon hearing this.

"Then, Senior Yao Lao, I shall begin my cultivation."

He quickly spoke to Yao Lao, intending to start practicing the cultivation technique.

"No rush, no rush."

"To cultivate this technique, one must precisely locate the specific meridians within the body."

"If you fail to find them accurately and attempt to open them blindly, you might end up harming yourself instead. It is extremely dangerous."

"That is why no one on our Dou Qi Continent does it this way."

Yao Lao spread his hands toward Lin Yan.

"Then, Senior Yao Lao, what do you mean? We shouldn't practice it?" Lin Yan asked Yao Lao, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Yao Lao rolled his eyes at him. "How could we not practice it? I already said they are complementary; the cultivation will certainly be of great benefit."

"However, young friend, do not forget your identity."

"You are an alchemist capable of refining all sorts of medicinal pills, so you must remember to make good use of your status at all times."

Lin Yan wore a confused expression, and Yao Lao tossed two pill formulas directly to him.

"These are two pill formulas I created myself. Both are Tier 2 medicinal pills. One is called the Sensing Pill; as the name suggests, it allows you to clearly sense the condition of your own body."

"With this, it won't be easy for you to make mistakes when locating your meridians."

Having said that, Yao Lao looked at the other pill formula.

"This is the Vein-Nourishing Pill."

"It is a medicinal pill used to condition the meridians, and it is also suitable for you to consume."

"After all, forcibly opening meridians is a method that easily causes self-inflicted damage. If you don't prepare healing pills in advance and end up leaving hidden injuries in your body, the losses will outweigh the gains."
