The Drawbacks of Cultivation Methods

Once Cultivator have mastered a Cultivation Method, they will be able to perform Wandless Magic, similar to wizards, and their Cultivation Method will be much more powerful.

So, doesn't that sound amazing?

But that's not the case in reality.

The Cultivation Method has two major drawbacks.

First, opening up the Dantian Qi Sea) is extremely difficult and very dangerous.

To solidify a sphere with spiritual power in such a small area as the Shanzhong Acupoint and open up the Dantian Qi Sea, requires extremely high magical power manipulation skills and a great deal of time.

Even Bell, who was very confident in his control over his magic, estimated that he would need to go into seclusion for a week to a month to successfully open up his Dantian Qi Sea.

However, if the opening fails and the spiritual energy goes out of control, the solid spiritual energy wall that takes a lot of spiritual energy to form will explode, causing serious damage to the internal organs.

In ancient times, Cultivator ' Cultivation Method were taught to their disciples by their masters, who could supervise the disciples' Cultivation Method. If a disciple failed in their practice, the master could immediately provide medical assistance to prevent the disciple from dying from severe injuries.

Those who accidentally obtained the inheritance of a certain Cultivation Method, then believed rumors from who-knows-where, and went to the Deep Mountains and Old Forests to cultivate in seclusion in a random cave, basically all met their demise.

Therefore, after Europe Wand were introduced to China, more and more Cultivator abandoned their cultivation Cultivation Method.

Compared to the risk of serious injury or even death when practicing cultivation Cultivation Method, Cultivator naturally prefer Wand that allow them to easily, quickly, and safely cast spells with a simple wave.

Moreover, the Peaceful Life of recent decades has made it rare for people to risk their lives for a slight increase in strength.

Secondly, even after successfully cultivating the Cultivation Method, Cultivator cannot actually cast spells at will.

Unlike the Wandless Magic of wizards, the Cultivation Method of Cultivator actually involve a certain degree of skill and ingenuity.

When a wizard performs Wandless Magic, all the magic in their body receives the wizard's intention. Then, a portion of the magic undergoes a change in nature and gathers towards the wizard's hands, feet, and other areas before being released.

In other words, the wizard's entire body will be under pressure.

The Cultivator, on the other hand, chose to gather their spiritual energy into their Dantian Qi Sea first, allowing the transformed spiritual energy to flow only along fixed Meridians.

In other words, Cultivator concentrate the pressure that should have been borne by the whole body into a few Meridians.

This results in the selected Meridians having to withstand enormous pressure.

Therefore, even if Cultivator specifically strengthen these Meridians with spiritual power, they still need to allow the Meridians some time to "Qi Recovery" after casting spells that reach a certain limit. It's somewhat like the cooldown time for skills in a game.

Of course, as the progress of the cultivation Cultivation Method deepens and the Meridians ' ability to withstand it increases, the time for Qi Recovery will also be shortened accordingly.

After learning the specifics of the Cultivation Method, Bell was, to be honest, somewhat disappointed.

What happened to the promise that after mastering the divine skill, one could Thousand Changes, move mountains and overturn seas, and travel 108,000 li in a single somersault?!

Although his wish to cultivate into a "Great Luo Golden Immortal" was dashed, the Cultivation Method still gave Bell a lot of inspiration.

Firstly, Bell had always been figuring things out on his own regarding the topic of ' Magic Power Enhanced Body.' This inevitably caused him to feel lost at times.

Now, with these Cultivation Method available for reference, Bell is not only able to strengthen his body more efficiently, but they also point him in the right direction for the future.

Secondly, although Bell's ultimate goal is 100% complete physical enhancement and the ability to use magic at will, this does not prevent him from using some clever tricks to protect himself when he is still relatively weak.

Bell decided to emulate the cultivation method of the Cultivation Method and temporarily focus on strengthening certain Meridians. If he succeeded, he estimated that the power of his Wandless Magic would increase by at least 20% to 30% from its current level.

After finishing his business, Bell decided to relax and take his younger sister to visit some famous tourist attractions in China.

Fortunately, with the guide provided by their parents, the brother and sister were able to save themselves a lot of trouble.

Unlike Bell, who was finally able to relax, William, after spending a week reliving his youth with his wife, was finally getting busy.

(William: "I'm only in my thirties, I'm still in my adolescence!")

As mentioned before, the Bell family's official reason for coming to China this time was to investigate the China market situation.

This title is not fake.

Although it was Bell who initially proposed to travel to China, his purpose was simply to gain knowledge from the Cultivator.

However, after careful consideration, William also believed that this was indeed a good opportunity to expand into the market.

Therefore, the family's original plan was to spend the first week researching the market and helping Bell achieve his goal. The following week was for William to communicate and negotiate with the Cultivator Alliance.

William actually hoped that Bell could be with him. Although his son was young and didn't understand specific business matters, Bell's occasional insights always gave William a sense of enlightenment.

This hope was amplified when they learned that even the prestigious International Exchange and Cooperation Department of the Cultivator Alliance couldn't find a single person who could speak English.

Although William didn't know when his son learned Mandarin or what his level was, judging from the fact that Bell hadn't had any problems communicating with various people these past few days, it seemed that Bell's Mandarin level was quite high?

In any case, it should at least be better than the level of Chinese he has been studying every night for the past week.

What? You're asking why we only study at night?

Of course, it's because I need to spend the day enjoying time with my wife! Business is nothing compared to making my wife happy!

However, although William, as the patriarch of the Menethil Family, was always the one who had the final say at home!

However, he is not a dictator! He is quite democratic! He listens carefully to his wife's opinions!

(Actually, the main reason is that we can't beat them, and we're unwilling to fight them.)

Therefore, after serious and earnest discussions among the family, and after a fair and just democratic election, the proposal put forward by William, "Bell should accompany them to talk with the higher-ups of the Cultivator Alliance," was ultimately rejected by a vote of 1 to 3.

Thinking of the few broken Chinese phrases he had only recently learned, and looking at his wife who could only say "hello" to him, William felt that the prospects for this negotiation were bleak.
