After becoming invincible, start having fun in the world

Chapter 318 Secret Method
Li Wei immediately understood what the system meant by "gifting the Spirit Gathering Pill," and was so terrified he nearly jumped out of his skin: "Stop! Terminate! Exit the hosting!"

[Ding, keyword "[Exit Hosting]" detected]

[Currently in the [Cultivation] task, the default item is cultivation level improvement, and it cannot be deactivated until the cultivation level is increased by one level.]

[Failed to exit managed services]

Upon hearing this, Li Wei felt utterly hopeless, but his expression remained unchanged as he charged towards Hu Fangyuan's disciples' courtyard with an expression that suggested he was about to enter the fray.

Just as Li Wei was prepared to die from misreading the reincarnation of Fang Laomo, his body suddenly came to an abrupt halt a few feet away from the entrance of the disciples' courtyard.

"Stopped?"

Before Li Wei could rejoice, another voice rang out.

[Ding! High-quality pill detected [Grade 7 Earth Rejuvenation Pill (?)], upgrading your system gift pack for free]

[Upgrade successful. Claiming gift pack [Grade 7 Earth Restoration Pill (?)]]

As soon as the words fell, Li Wei's body started running uncontrollably again. This time, he even used a escape technique he had learned before, turning into a blur as he ran towards the back mountain of the sect.

Although Li Wei didn't know what the Earth Returning Pill was, he understood what a seventh-grade pill meant.

This kind of pill could buy two-thirds or even the entire Qingyun Sect if it were sold outside!

And the system's so-called "claiming" is probably just about trying to rob someone so they won't die out there, right?

Back mountain.

"A secret technique?" Chu Ke thought for a moment and then remembered what this so-called secret technique was.

In modern terms, the cultivation system of this world is as follows: cultivators mainly rely on a system within their bodies during the cultivation process. This system consists of three organs: the Dantian, the spiritual root, and the meridians.

Among them, the [spiritual root] is similar to the central core, responsible for mobilizing, guiding and gathering spiritual energy. Different spiritual roots can mobilize different qualities, quantities and attributes of spiritual energy.

The Dantian serves two purposes: storing energy and providing power. Most cultivators store their spiritual energy in the Dantian, forming a "vortex." The existence of the "vortex" propels the spiritual energy throughout the body. Absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world or casting spells cannot be separated from the vortex.

The meridians are like circuit boards, responsible for transporting spiritual energy to all parts of the body. At the same time, the different ways in which spiritual energy flows during spellcasting also determine the different effects of the spell.

The secret technique of the Qingyun Sect is a method specifically targeting the dantian.

The faster the vortex of spiritual energy in the dantian, the more spiritual energy can be absorbed in the same unit of time, and the faster the spiritual energy can be released when casting spells. Therefore, the importance of the vortex to a cultivator below the Golden Core stage is self-evident.

Normally, the speed of a cyclone is only related to one's talent and cultivation level; the higher one's talent and cultivation level, the faster the cyclone will be.

Other sects naturally understood this principle as well, which is why there are countless secret techniques for accelerating cyclones throughout the world.

However, the secret technique of the Qingyun Sect is unique among these secret techniques. The sect leader of the Qingyun Sect, who is Chu Ke of this world, actually tried to change the nature of the spiritual energy in the dantian in order to "shape" the spiritual energy in the dantian.

In his memory, Chu Ke's inspiration in this world came from waterwheels and palm-leaf fans. "A cyclone is still just air, and no matter how fast it rotates, the amount of air it can move is very small."

"Then why not reshape the vortex, just like the sword energy released by sword cultivators has the properties of metal, and recondense the vortex in the dantian into a hard waterwheel or palm-leaf fan."

"In this way, the amount of air that can be drawn in at the same rotation speed will definitely be increased."

It must be said that this is indeed a brilliant idea, but it also has flaws, so this secret technique remains incomplete to this day.

The reason is simple: the control required to shape spiritual energy within the body can only be achieved by cultivators at the Golden Core stage or above. However, the spiritual energy of a Golden Core cultivator has long since been transformed into magical power, and the operating principle is vastly different, rendering the secret technique useless.

Putting that aside, the increased spiritual energy flow after condensation creates pressure that is beyond the capacity of a cultivator below the Golden Core stage to withstand. Without a few body-refining techniques, one could easily suffer broken meridians and shattered dantian, rendering cultivation impossible, or worse, be reduced to a human firework exploding on the spot.

This is why, even now, no one tries to steal the secret technique from a small sect like the Qingyun Sect; normal people wouldn't touch it.

To paraphrase Yao Lao from Xiao Yan's ring, if this technique were to be learned by a major sect and put into practice by its disciples, it would immediately set back the sect's foundation by more than a hundred years.

Its level of terror is equivalent to some graduate students' shoddy papers being stolen and used as secrets by enemy countries, which could lead to their expulsion from the United Nations the next day.

However, the protagonist cannot be viewed in the same way as ordinary people. Tang San has his eye on this. If he or Xiao Yan were to actually obtain it, this secret technique, which perfectly fits the definition of a "useless divine skill," would definitely trigger the underlying code of the protagonist's halo. An old man who happens to know this kind of thing would come to their door to provide guidance, or they would actually learn it by some kind of accident. From then on, challenging opponents of higher levels would no longer be a dream.

That is, if Chu Ke doesn't come.

Now that Chu Ke has possessed him, he has modified this secret technique with just a little thought, turning it from a "useless" skill into a true divine power.

"Speaking of secret techniques," Chu Ke pretended to think for a moment, then took out a booklet he had just made from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yan. "When I was in seclusion, it wasn't entirely for refining your pills. I've completely repaired this secret technique, and now I'm giving it to you as a help to catch up and make up for the decline in your cultivation over the years."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was deeply moved. Although Yao Lao regarded that secret technique as a terrible monster, since Chu Ke was willing to hand it over to him and said that it was already perfected, he would definitely not lie to him. If all else fails, he can just let Yao Lao take a look.

"Yes! I will definitely not let the sect leader down!"

After saying that, Xiao Yan tilted his head back and gently tossed the Earth Rejuvenation Pill in his hand, preparing to "recover" on the spot and begin his cultivation.

Just before the pill was about to fall into Xiao Yan's mouth, a figure appeared beside Xiao Yan with afterimages. Before the gust of wind could even arrive, the figure grabbed the Earth Returning Pill in mid-air and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then, without any intention of escaping, he simply sat down cross-legged with his palms facing upwards, expressionless, under Xiao Yan's bewildered and somewhat incredulous gaze, and began to meditate, cultivating the basic mental techniques of the Qingyun Sect.

So arrogant?

"Junior Brother Li, you!"

Xiao Yan opened his mouth to speak, but saw a surge of spiritual energy explode from Li Wei's body, a sign that the medicinal power had been refined.

The next moment, Li Wei's human-machine face suddenly looked up at the manual in Xiao Yan's hand and reached out to grab it.
