Ling Yi only has two ways to increase his strength.
It can devour various cultivation techniques to improve their grade and absorb the essence of living beings to increase their level.
But devouring the essence of living beings is still a bit too evil, so Ling Yi didn't say this to Emotionless.
Most people would find this unacceptable.
Even if Ling Yi is a bad person.
Therefore, Ling Yi's consistent claim about Emotionless was that a large number of cultivation techniques could rapidly increase his strength.
As for absorbing the essence of living beings to upgrade the Clone's level, a suitable person to Possession needs to be arranged to do that.
Three days later, Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang returned one after the other.
Liu Zhengfeng did not kill Zuo Lengchan, but instead beat Zuo Lengchan up and brought back more than fifty Mortal Grade martial arts manuals, more than a dozen Earth Grade martial arts manuals, and one Pseudo-Heaven Grade martial arts manual.
This includes the Great Songyang Palm, the Mount Song Sword Technique, the Icy True Qi, and a Pseudo-Earth Grade incomplete copy of the Star Absorbing Great Method.
According to Liu Zhengfeng, this Star Absorbing Great Method was something Zuo Lengchan concocted himself based on Ren Woxing's original Star Absorbing Great Method.
It's just a concept; no one has actually practiced it yet.
Ling Yi directly had Zixia Fusion his Pseudo-Heaven Grade Icy True Qi and his Pseudo-Earth Grade incomplete Star Absorbing Great Method.
The Zixia Divine Art finally advanced from the Pseudo-Heaven Grade to the true Heaven Grade.
As for the others, the usual rules apply: Wuming Sword Fusion Technique, Luohan Fusion Technique, Gale Fusion Saber Technique, and Shadowless Body Fusion Technique. As for the only Saint Grade Clone, there's nothing to Fusion for now.
There's no other way; there are simply too few cultivation techniques of the same type.
Compared to Liu Zhengfeng, Qu Yang gained much more.
Unlike the Mount Song Sect, Liu Zhengfeng only needed to announce his arrival to enter when he went to see Zuo Lengchan at the Mount Song Sect.
Even if there are a few fools, a good beating will make them behave.
But Qu Yang joined the Sun Moon Holy Cult by fighting his way up step by step.
It took the killing of most of the masters of the Sun Moon Holy Cult to finally lure out Dongfang Bubai, who Healing at the Sun Moon Holy Cult.
After discovering that Qu Yang had reached the Grandmaster, Dongfang Bubai did not make a move at all.
Upon learning of Qu Yang's purpose, without saying a word, he packed all the cultivation manuals and secret techniques collected by the Sun Moon Holy Cult into a large box for Qu Yang.
There are more than three hundred manuals on the practice.
Including the Pseudo-Emperor Grade Sunflower Codex and the Heaven Grade Tai Chi Fist Classic.
Others include various other martial arts manuals and techniques, such as the Mortal Grade Hidden Weapons weapon technique " Heavenly Star-Filled Sky, "the Mortal Grade poison Five Poisons Secret Art," and the Mortal Grade Acupoint Sealing striking technique " Buddha Flower Acupoint Sealing Hand."
As expected of Demonic Cult.
Most of the techniques are honestly not very proper.
Among them are more than a dozen insidious and vicious Hidden Weapons techniques and poison manuals, it's simply incredible.
Among them, in Ling Yi's opinion, the most valuable, besides the Sunflower Codex and the Tai Chi Fist Classic, is the Earth Grade Hu Qingniu Medical Classic.
These martial arts manuals greatly enriched Ling Yi's martial arts repertoire.
Ling Yi separated the Hidden Weapons techniques, Acupoint Sealing techniques, and medical classics into separate categories, bringing the total number of Ling Yi's Cultivation Technique Clone to nine.
As for the remaining cultivation techniques, Ling Yi just randomly Jill Fusion according to their general categories.
The Sunflower Codex Fusion with Wuming, since Wuming Fusion with the Bixie Sword Manual, and they shared the same origin.
Various poison-related texts were Fusion into Hu Qingniu's medical texts, since medicine and poison are inseparable!
With this Fusion, all nine of Ling Yi's Cultivation Technique Clone entries reached the Earth Grade or above.
The Saint Grade Nian, the Pseudo-Emperor Grade Wuming and Luohan, the Heaven Grade Zixia, and the Pseudo-Heaven Grade Gale and Shadowless —both of these techniques initially started at the Earth Grade.
The original source is Tian Boguang, who was killed by Zixia with a single palm strike.
Tian Boguang was able to roam the martial Jianghu for so many years thanks to these two Earth Grade martial arts techniques: the Gale Saber Technique and the Shadowless Qinggong.
Uh, the original name of the Shadowless Qinggong Flying over Grass, but that name was too low-class, so Ling Yi changed it to Shadowless.
Both of these techniques have now reached the Pseudo-Heaven Grade.
The remaining gates are all Earth Grade, namely Buddha Flower, Hu Qing, and Heavenly Star-Filled Sky.
The name "Buddha Flower " originates from the Buddha Flower Acupoint Sealing Hand," Hu Qing" comes from the Hu Qingniu Medical Classic," but we can't just call him Hu Qingniu, can we?
Hu Qingniu is still alive, so since they share the same name, Ling Yi arbitrarily removed a character from his name.
The name "Heavenly Star-Filled Sky" comes from the Hidden Weapons weapon technique "Heavenly Star-Filled Sky".
During the Fusion process, Ling Yi also discovered a problem.
Many martial arts manuals contain both internal energy cultivation techniques and martial arts skills, making them indistinguishable.
For example, the Sunflower Codex includes the Sunflower Heart Method, the Sunflower Movement Technique, the Sunflower Hidden Weapons Technique, and so on.
However, when the Cultivation Technique Clone Fusion, they are Fusion as a whole; they cannot be separated at all.
Therefore, the original classification of Ling Yi's Cultivation Technique Clone clones has actually become quite blurred.
However, Ling Yi said he didn't care at all.
As long as it's roughly the same, why be so serious?
Moreover, none of these things matter to Ling Yi.
The results of this test are very important.
Through this test by Feng Yang CP, Ling Yi gained a more comprehensive understanding of the new feature [ Possession ].
First, the Possession target is not subject to range restrictions.
Secondly, the Possession target can still Sharing the Field of Vision.
Third, and most importantly, is the Possession mechanic.
Ling Yi can make various settings for the Possession Cultivation Technique Clone, such as corpse Pickup settings, activity range settings, and Sealing on certain behaviors, etc.
Once the settings are set, the Possession target must follow them.
Any behavior that exceeds the set limits will be disabled.
This is the truly domineering aspect of the [ Possession ] function.
For example, if Ling Yi sets the Wuming No. 9, who Possession Liu Zhengfeng, to stay still, then Liu Zhengfeng will simply freeze in place.
For example, if Qu Yang kills dozens of powerful members of the Sun Moon Sect, Ling Yi can set up his Possession Clone to automatically Pickup the corpses of those killed.
But Qu Yang must not discover it.
Those killed by Qu Yang will be automatically Pickup into the System Space after Qu Yang leaves within a kilometer of the corpse.
Then, the system automatically extracts the essence from the available space.
In short, the emergence of the [ Possession ] function gives Ling Yi more ways to control his Cultivation Technique Clone.
Another week has passed.
Yue Buqun and Lin Zhennan arrived in Mount Heng City one after the other, and came to the small courtyard where Ling Yi was currently living.
To Ling Yi's disappointment, Yue Buqun had only collected a few dozen Mortal Grade cultivation techniques in all this time.
Although Lin Zhennan collected a larger number, it was still only about a hundred Mortal Grade cultivation techniques.
It's still that kind of utterly worthless technique.
The key point is that many of the techniques are repetitive.
"This efficiency is unacceptable!" Ling Yi said, frowning as he sat at the stone table in the courtyard.
Emotionless, standing next to Ling Yi, said, "I've said it before, people in the Jianghu arts world treat their martial arts techniques as family heirlooms; they're not so easy to collect."
"The situation of Sect Leader Yue and Chief Escort Lin is now considered normal."
Yue Buqun said helplessly, " Emotionless said is right, it is indeed the case. They regard any martial arts technique with a reputation as a treasure, so why would they be willing to make a move?"
Qu Yang said, "Unless you take it by force!"
"No, if we forcibly seize it, the Jianghu will be thrown into chaos, and we will inevitably become the target of everyone's hatred." Emotionless shook his head.
Ling Yi stroked his chin thoughtfully. He could definitely steal it, but not openly; he also needed to distance himself from the situation.
Not only will he rob, he'll steal; Ling Yi will use any means necessary to obtain the cultivation technique.
Given Ling Yi's current strength, coupled with his Cultivation Technique Clone and Possession, Emotionless to discover him.
However, Ling Yi needs a more overt method to acquire more cultivation techniques.
"If you don't rob or steal, it's almost impossible to obtain a large number of cultivation techniques and secret manuals in a short period of time," Qu Yang shook his head.
"No way!" Emotionless frowned, staring at Ling Yi. "If you dare to rob or steal, I'll arrest you. Don't forget, I'm Four Great Constables."
Qu Yang quickly shut up. He was just making a suggestion; he and Liu Zhengfeng had no intention of attending this so-called Stone Table Meeting.
Wouldn't it be Kung Fu Hustle for them to play musical instruments like the zither and flute instead?
But there was no way around it; Ling Yi had forced them to participate.
If they don't participate, withdraw their power and drive them out of the courtyard.
What can they do?
If they were truly driven out, they would likely be chopped to pieces by both the righteous and demonic factions in no time.
Liu Zhengfeng beat up Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sects. Zuo Lengchan lost all face and dignity; would he let it go?
Qu Yang forcefully stormed into the Sun Moon Holy Cult. Although Dongfang Bubai was very eager to admit defeat, he had killed so many Sun Moon Holy Cult. Once he lost his power and Ling Yi's protection, his fate was predictable.
They didn't want to die.
Moreover, their families also have Ling Yi's protection.
At this moment, Yue Buqun said, "Miss Emotionless, what if we weren't in the Hanming Jianghu?"
Upon hearing Yue Buqun's words, everyone's eyes lit up. That's right, as long as they're not in the Hanming Jianghu ), it's fine.
"Compared to other Jianghu, the Hanming Jianghu is far inferior. Former Song Jianghu, the Qin-Tang Jianghu, and the Fengyun Jianghu are all far superior to our Hanming Jianghu world."
Yue Buqun spoke eloquently.
Ling Yi tapped the stone table and said, "Forget about robbing us, we're good people!"
Emotionless rolled her eyes. "You think you're a good person? Stop kidding me."
Emotionless has been following Ling Yi for almost half a month now, and she knows Ling Yi's character very well.
But no one spoke, waiting for Ling Yi to continue.
"We can't rob them, but if we don't rob them, we can trade!"
"Change? What do you mean?" Emotionless asked.
Yue Buqun seemed to be deep in thought; he had probably guessed what Ling Yi was thinking.
"Young master, if we were to change it, it would likely cause considerable trouble. Shaolin, Wudang Sect, and even the imperial court would never allow high-level martial arts to proliferate in the Jianghu."
"We still need to exchange it, otherwise are we going to rob it?"
Yue Buqun really wanted to say that it would be much easier to just snatch it. If Ling Yi joined in, it would stir up the entire Jianghu, and that would be real trouble.
Ling Yi was too lazy to listen to their nonsense analysis; he just wanted to act recklessly first.
After all the analysis, all I've come up with is a lack of foresight and consideration; it would have been better not to analyze at all.
He wants the essence of living beings, and he also wants cultivation techniques and secret manuals. With just these two things, he will inevitably develop in the direction of a great demon.
Ling Yi thought for a moment and said, " The Immortal Gate, having emerged, cannot bear to see the decline of martial arts in the mortal realm. They are now offering free exchange of various cultivation techniques!"
" Immortal Gate?" Everyone was bewildered. What Immortal Gate was this?
"I just picked a name randomly. If I want to exchange cultivation techniques for others, I need a name, a mysterious force to emerge and cause trouble, right?"
"20 Mortal Grade martial arts manuals can be exchanged for Earth Grade, 10 Earth Grade manuals for Heaven Grade manuals, and 10 Heaven Grade manuals for Emperor Grade manuals..."
After hearing the exchange rate, Yue Buqun curled his lip.
You didn't say that back at Mount Hua! Good grief, you're just setting the exchange rate yourself, there's no set standard at all?
"Let's test the waters in the Songming Jianghu first, identify any shortcomings, and once we've perfected the strategy, we'll Copy in other countries!"
At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng, who had been silent until now, asked, "Then, how do we resolve the issue of the Jianghu Boundary Token?"
