Among the many cultivation techniques, besides the initial Scarlet Blood Art, there were several other techniques that provided Li Xingkong with considerable assistance.
The first one is a spell called the One Heart Spell. Although the name sounds like a curse, it is actually a genuine communication spell. Moreover, this spell consumes very little energy and can even be used without Spiritual Qi or Magic Power power.
This Heart -One Heart Spell utilizes the principle of quantum entanglement at a distance. It establishes a connection between a pair of particles using magic, then separates them. As long as the particles are in the hands of two people, they can communicate seamlessly and without delay, no matter how far apart they are. Furthermore, because entanglement at a distance is unrelated to Spiritual Qi, it can be used even in the absence of any Spiritual Qi energy.
Although modern science has discovered such phenomena, the underlying principles are still under investigation. It can be said that the technology can be used, but the underlying principles are unknown. Li Xingkong only learned some of the principles from the system.
The second technique is an evil technique. Actually, calling it evil is a bit of an exaggeration. It's just that the creator of this technique only created half of it, which is why it was considered an evil technique.
The technique is called the Fusion Technique, and its effects are just as its name suggests. The creator is a veteran anime fan who has seen too many so-called fusion evolution techniques in anime and animation. So he came up with this idea to create a fusion technique.
This person also has a high talent for cultivation. After cramming on a lot of current research on biology, he used the knowledge he had acquired to create a Fusion Technique that allows two people to merge into one.
Although the increase in combat power after fusion is not as high as imagined, and it doesn't even have the effect of 1+1=2, it can indeed combine two people into one.
The problem is, after creating the Fusion Technique, this guy asked a friend to try it out. The fusion was successful, but they couldn't separate. Their bodies, energy, thoughts, and even memories were all mixed together, ultimately causing the fused person to fall into a state of madness.
No one studied the subsequent techniques, and its effects made people somewhat wary, since no one wanted to become one with another person. So it was shelved.
Although this technique is not very useful, its concept is worth learning from for Li Xingkong. Similarly, the system's evaluation is that although it is full of errors, it does have some novelty and is worth recording.
More than a week had passed when I left the practice manual. I can only say that the time spent learning really flies; I didn't even feel the passage of time.
After Li Xingkong connected to the internet and caught up on the events of the past few days, he learned that Divine Land had already implemented this policy towards Cherry Blossom Country.
It must be said that even the worst people in a country can have their potential value extracted.
After leaving the lowest level of the Earthly Capital where the cultivation method library was located, Li Xingkong went straight to Old Tang's office. When he arrived, Old Tang was looking at materials at his desk.
Hearing a knock, he looked up and realized that Li Xingkong was already at the door.
" Xingkong, you're out? How does it feel?"
Old Tang put down the materials in his hand, pulled out a few documents from a pile of files beside him, and then walked over to Li Xingkong's side.
"I've learned a lot; this trip has been very rewarding."
Li Xingkong returned the key to the cultivation technique library to Old Tang, smiling as he mentioned it. He also mentioned to Old Tang the names of several valuable cultivation techniques marked by the system.
Old Tang immediately upgraded the levels of these cultivation techniques by several grades, had someone adjust the positions of the techniques, and then handed the documents in his hand to Li Xingkong.
Do you remember that company from Cherry Blossom Country that caused you trouble before?
After a moment's thought, Li Xingkong remembered that when he first created the Bone-Tempering Grass, several people had indeed come to cause him trouble, but he had managed to stop them.
"Of course I remember, what's wrong?"
Li Xingkong took the documents from Old Tang's hand and looked down. One was a compensation document for which he had deliberately changed an outrageous figure, and the other was the bankruptcy certificate of Cherry Blossom Wind Group.
"This is..."
If it weren't for Old Tang handing him this document, Li Xingkong would have completely forgotten about this group long ago. After all, in his opinion, this group was just a small flea, annoying but not particularly dangerous.
"Compensation."
Old Tang said with a smile.
"During the cleanup of the resistance forces in Cherry Blossom Country, we discovered some plans targeting you within the Cherry Blossom Wind Group. Although their intelligence was outdated and your strength was only at the Qi Refining stage according to their intelligence, they did indeed have plans to retaliate against you."
It's just that you had already gone to the moon by then, so they couldn't find any trace of you. Later, with the resurgence of Divine Land and policy changes, these people couldn't enter the country anymore, which is why it's been delayed until now."
After finding this information within the Cherry Blossom Wind Group, we took the most severe action against them. The entire group was wiped out, and all personnel have been arrested. These are all the assets found from the personal property of the group and its top executives after the auction and dissolution. After discussion, these are now entrusted to you for handling.
"Apart from the assets, all the personnel are already detained in the local prison, and their disposal is now in your hands."
Looking at the documents in his hand, Li Xingkong was momentarily at a loss as to what to do with them.
Money, land, companies—these things mean nothing to him, and they can't be converted into cultivation resources. Li Xingkong doesn't lack such a small place either.
After thinking about it, Li Xingkong decided to bring the thing with him. After all, it was given to him, and he would let his parents play with it when he returned to his hometown.
As for the Cherry Blossom Wind Group, Li Xingkong had almost forgotten about it, but Divine Land still remembered it quite clearly. It has to be said that Old Tang and the others put in a lot of effort to make up for Li Xingkong's actions this time.
"By the way, how are Tang Cheng and the others?"
After reading the news online these past few days, Li Xingkong realized that although he had slowed down the volcanic eruption, the remaining force had triggered a massive tsunami, and Tang Cheng and his group were also in a very difficult situation along the coast.
"That kid's alright, nothing serious. He's back to his old self after a few days of rest. It's just that he's been missing for the past few days, we haven't seen him anywhere."
"However, the impact of that tsunami was quite significant. Many cultivators went missing at the scene, and some even sacrificed themselves due to exhaustion of their Magic Power. Alas, although I have already begun my cultivation, I am still somewhat powerless in the face of a natural disaster of this magnitude."
"However, the Divine Land Grand Formation can be completed at any time, which is good news."
Old Tang had no idea what Tang Cheng had gone off to do, but Li Xingkong had some ideas. Before the disaster relief efforts, Tang Cheng had been investigating the aftermath of the evil martial arts, and now he was probably continuing his investigation.
