destiny eternal calamity

Chapter 183 I'm just so-so

Back in his room, Li Wei immediately assumed the posture of meditating and practicing spiritual cultivation.

In reality, he opened the system panel, preparing to add points.

In this ancient era, there were still remnants of longevity substances, which greatly enhanced the human race's cultivation and comprehension of techniques.

Therefore, you can save your recharge points and only level up your internal skills to the highest level, then gradually comprehend and perfect them on your own.

Li Wei looked at the system panel and focused his mind on the "Nine Cauldrons Technique".

[Learned Technique: Nine Cauldrons Technique + (Level 5/Perfect)]

[The cultivation technique can be upgraded; should I consume recharge points to upgrade?]

[Upgrading a fifth-tier cultivation technique to a sixth-tier technique requires 320000 recharge points.]

"Deduction!"

[Recharge Points - 224000 (30% off).]

As the system deducted the recharge points, the aura of "Chongzhou Dingjue" quickly merged into the Nine Cauldrons True Qi within Li Wei's body.

A profound realization followed.

The Nine Cauldrons Skill successfully advanced to the sixth level and reached the entry level.

Li Wei looked thoughtfully at the Nine Cauldrons True Qi within his body.

This technique seems to allow for continuous advancement.

In fact, after reaching the fifth level, Li Wei had never seen any other martial arts techniques that could be directly deduced and upgraded, except for the Nine Cauldrons Technique.

Instead, it features a comprehensive simulation function.

The reason is simple: advanced techniques are inevitably complex and complete. The people who wrote those techniques have already exhausted their inspiration, so there is no room for further optimization.

Those techniques that can be upgraded and have great potential are often created effortlessly by masters.

Moreover, the way a master uses their skills is different. For example, Li Wei knew that the flying sword technique was probably a difficult technique for the sake of being difficult. Although it was very ingenious among third-tier techniques, it was just average among fourth-tier techniques.

It was probably written by some master to test a disciple's aptitude.

Although the Yin-Yang Reverse Sword technique taught to him by his adoptive mother had the same intention, and he could sense that it was a castrated version, Zhong Kui Yaohua's realm was too high. She managed to make the technique logically consistent, and he couldn't see any room for improvement.

Looking at it this way, the Nine Cauldrons Technique seems even more incredible.

As long as one integrates the true techniques, one can advance to the next level, progressing from a mere third-tier internal skill all the way up, and currently, there is no sign of its limit.

"It was originally a very high-level technique, but its essence was broken down into various cauldron manuals, which led to the current situation."

"What's absurd is that each of the Cauldron Techniques seems to be interchangeable, meaning that the order of the Cauldron Techniques does not affect the level of the technique, only the number of them does."

"It's roughly a structure similar to the Five Elements. With each additional key point, the depth of the technique increases exponentially."

Li Wei gained some insights.

He held the creator of this technique, the goddess Nuwa, in the highest esteem.

Subsequently, he spent 17920 recharge points (at a 30% discount) to directly upgrade the fifth-tier Returning Origin Internal Skill, "Dragon's Hibernation Four Methods," which replaced the Nine Cauldrons Skill, to perfection.

The special effect of this internal skill is to improve the practitioner's physique, which is quite unique.

Li Wei had previously obtained the Qilin Divine Breath and the White Tiger Divine Breath, and his physique was already incredibly powerful, reaching a certain limit. However, after learning this technique, he still felt that his physique (energy and endurance) had improved.

"Hehe, with such a large backyard, this physique bonus is quite useful."

Li Wei was very satisfied with the special effects, and then spent 87360 recharge points (at a 30% discount) to upgrade all his internal skills to the highest level.

"That would save me about 90,000 recharge points," Li Wei sighed inwardly.

As his cultivation level increased, the amount of silver he spent became increasingly extravagant.

If he hadn't had that brilliant idea earlier and confiscated the property of those princelings, he would have gone bankrupt long ago.

"It's alright. Once my cultivation level is higher, I won't need to borrow the tiger's might to rob the rich anymore," Li Wei thought to himself.

As the saying goes, it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality. Having tasted the pleasure of robbery, he can never go back.

Now, when Li Wei thinks about making money, his first thought is to rob another rich person.

He focused his mind and contemplated the special effects of these sixth-level internal skills.

The Great Sun Sutra with Vajra attribute has the special effect that the body's Returning Origin and Pure Yang True Qi can be used as Vajra True Qi, and it also reduces the harm of these three types of True Qi to the cultivator.

The first half of this special effect is somewhat useless for Li Wei, because he has all five elements and no shortage of true energy.

"This method is very helpful for ordinary cultivators to break through to the Void Realm." Li Wei didn't mind, after all, the damage reduction in the latter half of the technique's special effect was worth the price.

The special effect of the Zixia attribute's Sitting Meditation Mystic Skill is to reduce the consumption of Zixia True Qi and increase the casting speed of martial arts skills released using Zixia True Qi.

It is also a boon for those with insufficient true qi, but it has little effect on Li Wei, who has abundant true qi.

"Ultimately, ordinary cultivators are too anxious about their true qi, which is why they have come up with so many energy-saving and emission-reducing cultivation methods."

Li Wei silently complained.

The entire text of the Xuan Yin attribute, Jia Yi, was originally given to me by Aunt Yao Yue as a "patronage fee." Its special effect is that after practicing it, one can reduce the number of acupoints on the body that could become weaknesses.

This effect is very strong and can significantly improve one's ability to withstand attacks.

The Marrow Cleansing Scripture, with its pure Yang attribute, has the special effect of enhancing the cultivator's power with pure Yang true energy.

That's good. Li Wei's physical strength was about 15 million jin before, and it increased by more than 1 million jin after practicing this internal skill.

Once the cultivation reaches its perfect state, the special effects should be further enhanced.

A cultivator's physical strength undergoes three leaps in total.

The first time is at the Meridian Opening Realm, the second time is at the Divine Treasury Realm, and the third time is at the Eternal Tribulation Realm.

Since breaking through to the Dharma Aspect stage, Li Wei's physical strength had not increased for a long time, so this internal skill gave him some pleasant surprises.

Finally, there's the Nine Cauldrons Technique, upgraded to the sixth tier. Besides having an even better exorcism effect, this technique also produces a new special effect.

Practitioners can use it for healing and detoxification.

Li Wei had previously seen Granny Wang healing Zhao Yuqing using a special kind of internal energy she cultivated, and he had been thinking about whether he should learn such a healing internal energy technique in case of future troubles. He never expected that the Nine Cauldrons Technique would have such an effect.

This is truly an unexpected delight.

Li Wei sensed his total internal energy, which was approximately 40,000 units, and it was slowly increasing as these internal energy techniques were circulating.

It is estimated that the final number will approach 50,000 units.

His internal energy is already very close to being liquid. Once this internal energy undergoes a phase change, his internal energy level will likely increase significantly.

Perhaps it can break through 100,000 units in the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Ordinary cultivators, even upon reaching the Heavenly Fate Realm, are still anxious because their true energy is less than 10,000 units, preventing them from using martial arts techniques.

The difference is enormous.

Li Wei wasn't arrogant, because he had long known that most people's cultivation levels were achieved through cultivation, resulting in superficial realms; while his realm was the result of real, substantial investment of time and effort, built on a solid foundation. (As mentioned in Chapter One)

He made a final review to make sure he hadn't missed any martial arts techniques, then stopped practicing and got off the bed.

"Honey, I feel like you've gotten even stronger," Xie Youshan commented, hugging his arm.

"I'm still far behind you guys, and Qingwan reached the Supreme Realm before she was even twenty, while I'm just average."

Li Wei was indeed curious about how the celestial maiden improved her cultivation. Could it be that she could be reincarnated with her cultivation?
