Milk Cat Breaks into Bai Yu's Dormitory at Night

Tang San's eyes lit up. He nodded, wholeheartedly agreeing with Bai Yu.

"Bai Ge is right. As long as someone without Soul Power consumes a Heavenly Treasure, and someone helps them refine it into Soul Power, they can circulate a Cultivation Method to open their Meridians and become a Soul Master!"

Everyone turned to look at Tang San, making his expression change. Oh no, I let it slip!

Yu Xiaogang had the nerve to ask outright.

"Little San, you know about Cultivation Methods too?"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's question, Tang San's expression darkened briefly before he fell silent.

Seeing the Little Scoundrel's expression, Bai Yu grinned, but immediately held it back because Ah Yin was tightening her grip on him again.

Ah Yin's feelings were complicated. She knew Tang Hao possessed some Self-Created Soul Skills, but he definitely did not have any Cultivation Method. So where had Tang San gotten one?

Bai Yu was being squeezed hard enough to hurt, and he could not help coughing before continuing.

"Of course he knows. There are traces of a Cultivation Method circulating within him too. It's different from the Meditation Methods ordinary Soul Masters cultivate, so he has a Cultivation Method as well."

"A Meditation Method circulates through existing Meridians to increase Soul Power. A Cultivation Method opens new Meridians, absorbs power from the outside world, and circulates it faster to increase Soul Power. That's the difference between the two!"

Everyone stared at Tang San in amazement. They had not expected him to possess a Cultivation Method too.

Tang San was somewhat annoyed. Bai Yu had exposed him just like that? But then he became helpless. He had been the one to ask how to cultivate faster first, so he could not blame Bai Yu for exposing him.

Yu Xiaogang felt that this Cultivation Method could definitely help him break through, so he wanted it. He was so anxious that even his zombie-like face had reddened slightly.

He hurriedly asked Bai Yu and Tang San:

"Then how is this Cultivation Method cultivated? Or rather, how can one create a Cultivation Method?"

When Tang San heard his damned teacher ask that question, mockery flashed through his eyes. You want a Cultivation Method? You want to create one too? Why don't you just fly while you're at it!

Bai Yu chuckled as well.

"Heh, forget about getting a Cultivation Method. No one would pass one on to outsiders. As for creating one? You can give it a try, but it might get a little ugly. At best, you'll be crippled; at worst, you'll die!"

At the same time, Bai Yu thought darkly:

Go on, create one. This young master can see the Power of Heaven and Earth, and I have Guiding Movements that let me stop at any time, yet I still keep getting injured. As for you, go create one! One attempt, one silent corpse!

Seeing Yu Xiaogang hesitate somewhat, Bai Yu quickly comforted him.

"But aren't you a theoretical Master? You can give it a try. Maybe you'll succeed?"

Tang San looked at Bai Yu strangely. In my previous life, whenever any Cultivation Method was born, aside from those peerless geniuses with insights into Heaven and Earth, it seemed quite a few creators had died, didn't they?

He then turned to Yu Xiaogang. Can my teacher be considered one of those peerless geniuses? Is Bai Yu trying to get him killed?

Yu Xiaogang's expression shifted. He felt that it made sense, nodded, and said:

"Mm, you're right. Since Cultivation Methods can be created, I truly should give it a try!"

Tang San's facial muscles twitched. This Yu Xiaogang really doesn't know his own limits.

Then his expression calmed. Go create it. If you succeed, I'll use it to cultivate. If you fail and die, I'll save myself the trouble of doing it myself. Very safe!

Flender panicked. He could not let this happen—his Gangzi!

He hurriedly tried to persuade him. "Xiao Gang, the White Kid already said that creating a Cultivation Method is extremely dangerous! You can't try it!"

Yu Xiaogang waved a hand, his expression confident. "Say no more. Since those before me could create Cultivation Methods, I can do it too!"

Bai Yu nearly wanted to applaud Gangzi. Good! He loved that confidence. Keep it up!

Then Yu Xiaogang recalled what Bai Yu had said earlier. There seemed to be other methods for opening Meridians, so he continued questioning him.

"Bai Yu, you said earlier that aside from Cultivation Methods, Self-Created Soul Skills and External Soul Bones can also open Meridians?"

Bai Yu nodded. Since he had already talked about Cultivation Methods, he did not care about these two questions and answered casually:

"That's right. Self-Created Soul Skills are the specific application of Soul Power. They cannot be released directly like Spirit Rings. You need to open some tiny Meridians and release them through your hands, feet, or even your facial features."

"These Meridians do not affect cultivation speed, or rather, the improvement is very small. Of course, there are also Self-Created Soul Skills that do not require additional Meridians to be opened."

"For example, the Soul Power Ball I demonstrated earlier. Anyone can condense Soul Power in their hand. It only requires control."

Only? No one knew what to say. They grumbled inwardly that such control was practically beyond the heavens—how could it be as simple as he made it sound?

"As for External Soul Bones, they're easier to understand. When they completely fuse with the body, they directly open a Meridian for the body, allowing the Soul Bone and the body to connect."

"That's why they differ from normal Spirit Bones. When their owner dies, an External Soul Bone shatters and disappears too. It does not remain behind."

Everyone suddenly understood. So that was what an External Soul Bone was. No wonder there was no way to kill someone and seize it!

A cultivation world really was different. Upon hearing of a treasure, everyone's first thought was to kill and steal it!

Seeing everyone deep in thought, Bai Yu smacked his lips and said:

"Alright, Master, I've answered your questions. I should go back and rest now. My mouth is dry from all this talking."

As Bai Yu turned to leave, Oscar hurriedly asked:

"Bai Ge, since your Cultivation Method isn't passed on to outsiders, can we join the force behind you? If we join, can we learn it?"

Bai Yu waved behind him. "You can, but wait until you graduate."

After returning to the dormitory, Bai Yu had barely taken a sip of water when Ah Yin's voice sounded beside his ear.

"Bai Yu, can Cultivation Methods really be created by oneself? Also, are there many people on the continent who possess them?"

Bai Yu's hand holding the cup paused. He said to the conflicted Ah Yin:

"They can be created, but only if you have some understanding of Heaven and Earth. The human body is a small world. Unlike Self-Created Soul Skills, a Cultivation Method requires the body's small world to coordinate with the greater world outside before it can be considered successful!"

"Otherwise, you'll suffer cultivation deviation and die. As for how many people possess Cultivation Methods, other than the force behind me, the only known one for now is Tang San."

Ah Yin said nothing, merely tightening the blade of grass around Bai Yu's waist harder and harder until he bared his teeth in pain.

"I'm telling you, this isn't right. Even if you're angry that your son is gone, you can't take it out on me!"

Ah Yin ignored his complaints and continued tightening her grip!

He turned and flopped onto the bed, muttering, "Go ahead, squeeze me to death. Then you'll know the pain of murdering your own husband!"

Bai Yu's expression twisted. No longer caring about Ah Yin tightening her grip even further, he began writing filler in the Chronicle of Time.

[After being out for a week, I've finally returned. I didn't expect to find that Gangzi, this so-called Master, had come too the moment I walked in. I observed him carefully, and he seems pretty ordinary.]

[He looks ordinary, yet acts tough everywhere he goes. My teacher and Liu Erlong truly deserve to compete for the title of Blind God King. I'd like to interview them—what exactly is so good about him?]
