Stars Martial Arts!
After hearing Jiang Xiaorou's words, Ning Chuan's eyes lit up slightly.
His current combat strength is only lacking in offensive capabilities.
Both speed and defense are top- Dharma Aspect.
If this can be completed, our combat strength might undergo a qualitative leap!
Are there any offensive or defensive Stars Arts techniques?
Ning Chuan asked.
"Some."
Jiang Xiaorou nodded and asked, "Shall we go collect the Eight Wonders Saber reward now?"
"No rush."
Ning Chuan waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'll go and choose a few mental martial arts techniques first, and then we'll talk."
He valued mental cultivation more than offensive martial arts.
If the latter has Stars Rank, it should definitely be chosen first.
Jiang Xiaorou thought for a moment and said, "The incomplete spiritual martial arts techniques in the courtyard are all in the Moon God Martial Seal Repository."
Ning Chuan was somewhat surprised to hear this.
The ruins that mentors Zhang Kai and Liu Shayun visited were named Moon God.
Is there some connection between the two levels of difficulty?
Ning Chuan's thoughts wandered.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaorou nodded subconsciously and said, "Yes..."
As she spoke, her eyes shifted slightly, and she suddenly changed her words, saying, "Assistant Instructor Ning, do you think the Moon God Martial Seal Repository' sounds a bit awkward?"
This is mainly related to a prehistoric site.
The ruins are called Moon God; they contain a large number of spiritual martial arts techniques, and they are relatively well-preserved.
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xiaorou.
The seemingly frail girl before me appears to be quite adept at understanding people's hearts.
Noticing Ning Chuan's gaze, Jiang Xiaorou panicked and quickly lowered her head, her fluffy ears drooping.
Let's go.
Ning Chuan smiled, not paying much attention.
It's perfectly normal for someone from another race to stay at the university after graduation and even enter an important department like the Ancient Martial Arts Research Institute, given their skill in reading people.
The two walked towards the elevator at the back of the lobby.
As I walked down a corridor, I encountered three people.
Ning Chuan recognized two of them; they had dealt with each other before.
Yang Wanli and Xie Lian.
The former was his mentor in his courses on spiritual and soul theories.
The latter needs no further explanation.
"Professor Yang."
Ning Chuan greeted him.
He was about to ask the other person if they knew how to shorten the time required for martial arts transmission.
" Ning Chuan, you're quite diligent! You rushed to the hospital right after the competition!"
Yang Wanli stopped and exchanged pleasantries with a smile.
After speaking, he pointed to the young man beside him and said, "This is Dong Gaoyuan, my personal disciple and teaching assistant."
Ning Chuan turned his gaze in that direction.
A young man in his early twenties, of medium build, with ordinary looks, nothing particularly remarkable.
He had heard of this person.
He completed the Spirit Invigoration Art and was promoted to Special Grade Assistant Instructor.
"Hello, Teaching Assistant Ning, please guide me in the future!"
Dong Gaoyuan bowed slightly in greeting, his attitude earnest.
Everyone at the Ancient Martial Arts Research Institute knew that Ning Chuan's promotion to a formal researcher was only a matter of time.
Just as the three were exchanging greetings, Xie Lian caught sight of Ning Chuan, and his face quickly darkened.
He gritted his teeth, said nothing to Ning Chuan, turned his head, and said, "Old Yang, I have something to do, I'll be going now!"
The words were finished.
Without waiting for Yang Wanli's reply, he strode away.
Beside her, Jiang Xiaorou raised her head and stared at Xie Lian's back, her wine-red eyes flickering slightly, until Xie Lian entered the elevator before she looked away.
" Ning Chuan, what brings you to the courtyard today?"
Yang Wanli changed the subject.
Ning Chuan spoke frankly, "Choose a few spiritual martial arts techniques to repair it."
Yang Wanli became interested, looked Ning Chuan up and down, and smiled, "Preparing to enter the realm of the soul?"
"Hmm." Ning Chuan nodded, pondering for a moment before saying, "I have that idea."
His martial arts skills automatically repair themselves, requiring him to absorb insights from similar martial arts.
He currently only masters four spiritual martial arts techniques.
Blood Soul Needle, Dark Night Abyss, Divine Concealment Technique, and Sound-Sealing Barrier.
The quantity isn't large.
As expected, it will be impossible to support the completion of the method for cultivating spiritual power.
To succeed, one needs to cultivate other spiritual martial arts and gradually improve one's understanding.
"Good!"
Yang Wanli said solemnly, "Martial arts involving the soul are a key project of the academy, with a promising future. More than half of the researchers are engaged in related work!"
Dong Gaoyuan scratched his head and chuckled, "The profits are great too!"
"Any martial arts techniques that are completed and can be linked to methods of cultivating spiritual power will bring you countless rewards!"
Dong Gaoyuan smiled and said, "The key is that we can also obtain an extremely rare resource— the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid. After consuming it, we can strengthen our soul and enhance our deductive abilities!"
Upon hearing these words, Ning Chuan's heart pounded rapidly.
I was just worried about not having a way to get my hands on the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Ning Chuan asked, "Under normal circumstances, how many drops of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid can one obtain?"
Dong Gaoyuan thought for a moment and said, "There is no fixed standard for the specific amount. Generally speaking, it is positively correlated with the contribution made to the method of repairing mental power cultivation."
"As for the extent of the contribution, it will be discussed and decided jointly by the organizing committee within the institute."
Dong Gaoyuan did not hide anything and truthfully said, "However, it is also difficult for the organizing committee to measure precisely; at most, they can only make a rough estimate, and there are times when they make mistakes."
Ning Chuan nodded to himself, finding it normal.
Those committee members were simply researchers with relatively high qualifications.
Dong Gaoyuan pointed to himself and gave an example. "Like the Invigoration Art that I completed."
Initially, they were considered to have made no contribution.
Later, it was my master who, through Invigoration Art, significantly improved the progress of his repaired mental cultivation method, the " Raging Fire Meditation Method," which is why the organizing committee gave me three drops of the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid.
Ning Chuan's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "So, improving the repair progress of the mental cultivation method guarantees the acquisition of the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid!"
"Certainly."
Yang Wanli took over the conversation and nodded, saying, "If the repair progress increases by 1 percentage point, regardless of the grade, at least 1 drop of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid will be obtained."
Furthermore, the more complete the mental cultivation method, the more generous the reward of the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid.
As he spoke, a look of reminiscence appeared on Yang Wanli's face, and he said, "I started repairing the Raging Fire Meditation Method more than two hundred years ago."
At that time, it was completely half broken.
I'll reward you with 2 drops of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid for improving 1 percentage point of progress.
I've now repaired it to about 80%, which is a 1% increase and will grant me 10 points of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid!
After listening, Ning Chuan made an estimate.
Completing a method for cultivating spiritual power, not to mention other rewards, just the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid alone...
You can harvest hundreds of drops!
Even thousands of drops!
Ning Chuan couldn't contain his excitement.
At this moment, Dong Gaoyuan suggested, "Assistant Ning, let's go to the Moon God Martial Seal Repository together. My master and I are going there anyway."
"Good."
The four people stepped out of the hall.
On the way, Ning Chuan told Yang Wanli about his problem.
"You mean... shorten the time it takes to pass on martial arts techniques?!"
Yang Wanli raised an eyebrow, somewhat intrigued.
Normal people don't have this need at all.
Inheriting a High Star Tier Martial Art only takes two or three hours, not much time at all.
Is there a way?
Ning Chuan asked with concern.
This is quite important to him.
"Let me think about it."
Yang Wanli stroked his chin, stepped into the elevator, and suddenly smiled, saying:
"You know what, it really exists!"
