Borrowing a sword

Chapter 235 Kunlun Techniques
Chu Huai Xu: Try? Try what?

Just check the system's prompts when the time comes.

Let's see if the system can learn it!
Should I actually go and study it on my own?
Nangong Yue looked at Chu Huaixu and said, "If it's just cultivation techniques and spells, then you don't need to take anything away."

"You only need to drip a drop of blood onto the jade slip, and its contents will naturally be imprinted in your mind. You will instantly understand everything and its meaning within the jade slip."

"Thanks to this method, otherwise, the scripts of Kunlun Grotto Heaven and Xuanhuang Realm are different, and we wouldn't be able to understand them at all," she explained.

With a flick of her sleeve, she retrieved a mountain of jade slips from her storage token.

These techniques and spells were all spoils of war for Chu Huaixu.

There are only three cultivation techniques here.

The rest are all spells!
There's no way around it; the cultivators in Kunlun Grotto-heaven are just too resilient.

Although their techniques take longer to learn, it's not as slow as breaking through realms, which often takes several years or even decades.

Moreover, murder and robbery are common occurrences in the Kunlun Grotto-Heaven, and the contents of a high-level cultivator's storage bag are unimaginably abundant.

This is the accumulation of a Nascent Soul True Monarch over hundreds of years!
Looking at the mountain of jade slips, Chu Huaixu knew he was about to suffer a huge loss!
Each jade slip takes half a day to drip a drop of blood.

After doing all this, he began to resign.

As usual, he was still taken home by his fly mount.

After arriving home, he didn't rush back to his room, but instead spent some time cuddling with Han Shuang.

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and the two had just confirmed their relationship as Daoist partners. On Earth, they would still be in the honeymoon phase, so they couldn't help but spend a lot of time together.

Chu Huaixu kissed her again, thoroughly enjoying himself.

After returning to his bedroom, Chu Huaixu sat cross-legged on a futon.

Since leaving the Primal Spirit Realm, he has been very busy.

But there have always been gains.

He immediately opened his system interface.

Because the cultivation techniques and spells inside Ye Kongxuan's storage bag will all appear on the system interface.

Chu Huaixu first took a look at the cultivation technique.

"The Heavenly Will and the Four Symbols Mysterious Control Techniques".

"This must be his main cultivation technique, used to complement the Four Symbols Spiritual Roots," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

The system marked the end of the cultivation technique as follows: [Cannot be learned; requires completion of spiritual roots, and can only be Four Symbols Spiritual Root or Heavenly Spiritual Root].

"What do you mean? Does it mean that as long as I have a spiritual root, I can upgrade through the system?" Chu Huaixu was somewhat alarmed.

But he quickly smiled.

"What's so surprising!"

"If others have spiritual roots, they can cultivate just as well!"

The cultivation methods in Kunlun Grotto Heaven are different from those in Xuanhuang Realm.

In the Xuanhuang Realm, every time one advances to a major realm, a new cultivation method is required.

In Kunlun Grotto Heaven, however, one cannot change cultivation methods; one must continue practicing only one method.

"But every martial art may have its limits."

"Ye Kongxuan's technique is probably the most advanced, and under the right conditions, one can practice it all the way up to the Nascent Soul stage."

"But if the upper limit of a cultivation technique is the Golden Core stage, then the limit of your life is also the Golden Core stage."

Chu Huaixu glanced at it and felt that there were quite a few conditions for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage in Kunlun Cave Heaven.

"We need to gather all sorts of rare and precious materials to refine pills, and after consuming the pills, we also need to withstand the heavenly tribulation."

“In addition to this, there must be vacant positions.”

"Does this mean there's a limit to the number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, like one radish per hole?" Chu Huaixu wondered.

"One Nascent Soul cultivator must die before the others can compete for the Nascent Soul position?" Chu Huaixu thought.

He then turned his gaze to another martial arts technique. This technique was called the "Heaven-Burning Fire Technique".

This technique is clearly inferior to the Four Symbols Technique, because its upper limit is only the Nascent Soul stage.

However, Chu Huaixu guessed that a cultivation technique that could lead to the Nascent Soul stage must be an unparalleled treasure in the Kunlun Grotto-Heaven.

Of course, the system still marked this technique as "not for learning".

However, its learning conditions are simpler than those of the Four Symbols Manual. As long as one has a fire-attribute spiritual root and reaches the Earth level, one can learn it.

"Let's look at the spells instead; looking at the cultivation techniques is pointless."

Chu Huaixu then opened the spell interface, which was filled with a dense array of Kunlun spells.

He almost had his eyes glaze over at first glance.

The accumulation of hundreds of years by a Nascent Soul cultivator is truly terrifying!

He only glanced at it briefly; the rest was all listed as "unlearnable."

There is only one technique that the system has not marked as "unlearnable".

Chu Huaixu's eyes lit up immediately; he hadn't expected to actually make a profit.

He looked closely and frowned slightly.

"The Alien"?

This is the name of this technique.

He suddenly remembered that when he was in the Origin Spirit Realm, Ye Kongxuan saw many of the mysteries of his physical body and his eyes were filled with endless greed.

He wanted to take away Chu Huaixu's body and even said he would refine him into an indestructible body.

"So it seems he wants to refine me into an external avatar?" Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

What a fine Nascent Soul stage old dog!

However, he soon noticed that this technique had requirements: the body of the external avatar must also have spiritual roots, and all eight extraordinary meridians must be open!
"But I don't have spiritual roots."

"I don't even have the eight extraordinary meridians."

"Our cultivation here relies on the nine orifices," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

But since Ye Kongxuan's eyes revealed boundless greed, he must have a way to solve these problems.

Chu Huaixu also understood why this technique did not display "unlearnable".

Because it relies on using secret techniques, combined with rare and precious materials, to induce a corpse to cultivate spontaneously, and then establish a connection with it.

In other words, as long as the corpse possesses spiritual roots and the eight extraordinary meridians, that's sufficient.

As for the rare and precious materials needed, Ye Kongxuan was only missing one [Camel Dragon Mystic Tendon] in his storage bag.

"So, he originally planned to practice this and had been collecting materials."

He glanced at the experience points required to learn it, and it was a whopping 136 million points!

"But this is a one-off deal; it doesn't differentiate between levels, and once you learn it, you'll master it."

"I'm currently missing one rare and precious treasure."

"And there aren't that many experience points either."

"Although it has the Four Symbols Spiritual Roots, it is contained in the Evil Pill, and we don't know how to retrieve it."

"Even if I could retrieve it and have enough experience points, I'd still be missing the [Camel Dragon Mystic Tendon] and a corpse with the Eight Extraordinary Meridians," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

A moment of compassion made him suddenly realize something!
"No! The body isn't the problem!"

"I've brought out Ye Kongxuan's body!"

(P.S.: Second update, please vote with monthly tickets.)

I've been traveling all day and have arrived in Wuhan to participate in the starting point event.
