I can identify everything, but this is an upgraded version of identification.

"Just who is Peak Master He?! How could he possibly entrust me with such divine skills?"

After briefly glancing through the Purple Cloud Manual, Su Changming couldn't help but gasp.

The Purple Cloud Technique is a method for absorbing purple energy.

However, ordinary cultivators can only collect the purple aura when the sun rises in the east.

Of course, these ordinary cultivators refer to those who have at least reached the Yuan Dan stage.

Only cultivators of this strength are capable of capturing a wisp of purple energy the moment it arrives from the east.

However, this purple aura is extremely precious and rarely blends with objects, nor is it needed in the refining of many elixirs.

This makes the purple aura somewhat useless.

However, at this moment, Su Changming found a cultivation technique in his hand that allowed even Qi Refining cultivators to absorb purple energy.

Moreover, this technique not only allows him to gather purple energy, but also to refine the pure spiritual energy of the purple energy, temper his spirit, and increase the probability of Foundation Establishment or even Core Formation by 10%.

With this technique, one can also imbue objects with purple energy, rendering certain evil methods ineffective.

This method of practice is remarkably effective in combating enemies.

more importantly!

This is a cultivation method that does not require any special talent for cultivation; it only requires gradual, persistent practice!

"Peak Master He! Do you want this brat's life? Offering such an enormous benefit?!"

Holding the Purple Cloud Manual in his hand, it would be a lie to say that Su Changming was not apprehensive.

Having the ability to assess skill, he believed it was not impossible for him to obtain such a divine skill in the future.

But now... wouldn't mastering this technique be the death of him?

"So be it...so be it..."

Su Changming suddenly resigned himself to his fate.

He Chongguang, a dignified mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, was completely at the mercy of He Chongguang, a mere Qi Refining cultivator.

However, without the ability to appraise, he would just be an ordinary family cultivator, lacking both talent and the ability to comprehend the laws.

For some reason, He Chongguang specifically sought him out.

Is it really just that I'm unlucky?

Now we can only take it one step at a time...

After closing the door, Su Changming carefully opened the Purple Cloud Manual.

He needs to memorize this manual as soon as possible and then burn it.

He understood the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

The next morning, as the sun rose, Su Changming was already waiting at the entrance of the cave.

At this moment, he sat cross-legged on a huge rock, forming a strange hand seal.

As time passed, even though it was only early morning, a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Hmm...this seal probably has a significant history..."

The seal he made was called the Minor Concentration Seal, an essential seal described in the Purple Cloud Technique for absorbing purple energy.

If an ordinary person knew about this seal, they could probably absorb a trace of purple energy at sunrise.

However, without the accompanying cultivation method of the Purple Cloud Technique, only those at the Yuan Dan stage can leave this wisp of purple energy in their dantian.

Feeling a trace of unfamiliar purple energy already locked in his dantian, Su Changming let out a long sigh of relief.

That's how it works.

By nurturing this wisp of purple energy, it can be completely integrated into the spiritual energy within one's dantian. Not only will the spiritual energy become more refined, but one's magical power against enemies will also become stronger.

Unfortunately, this seal not only consumes one's vital energy and spirit, but also depletes most of one's physical strength.

It would be difficult for cultivators without body refinement to maintain this seal and absorb purple energy.

"No wonder Master He taught me this technique; it's probably because of my strong physique."

Could it be that Peak Master He deliberately set up his cave atop Purple Bamboo Peak in order to select a successor?

Su Changming frowned and pondered.

But upon closer examination, it's probably not that simple.

Over the years, quite a few disciples have ascended to Purple Bamboo Peak, and he didn't believe that he alone could cultivate both body and spirit.

There are probably more reasons behind this...

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Su Changming turned back to his cave and brewed himself a pot of cloud-patterned tea.

Instantly, the fatigue in my brain was greatly relieved.

"If an ordinary person were to cultivate the Purple Cloud Technique, they would probably be listless all day, but I have Cloud Pattern Tea, so I can continue my cultivation."

Blowing on the steaming tea, Su Changming thought to himself.

After finishing his tea, Su Changming took out a bag of spirit rice from his storage bag.

[Water Spirit Rice: Contains water spiritual energy; water-attribute cultivators can accelerate their cultivation progress by consuming it.]

This is one of the results of his hard work over the past few months.

Not only did he perfect the Lesser Spirit Rain Technique, but he also harvested three acres of spirit rice.

The spiritual energy contained in spiritual rice varies depending on the soil in which it is grown.

However, most spirit rice only contains the three kinds of spiritual energy: water, wood, and earth.

What Su Changming planted was just ordinary spirit rice without any attributes.

However, it was specially planted next to the Spirit Stream, partly because the cave dwelling was rented here three months ago, and there was a Spirit Stream nearby.

And the results were as expected.

Although the result of planting this spirit rice was still ordinary spirit rice, without much change, it transformed into water spirit rice after being identified.

Before long, Su Changming had steamed a bucket of spirit rice, took out the dried meat of the Little Yellow Dragon Bronze Sparrow, and immediately started eating it together.

The upgraded versions of these two meat jerky don't taste very good.

However, the combination with the soft, sweet, and fragrant rice allowed Su Changming to enjoy it to the fullest.

After finishing a bucket of spirit rice and several kilograms of dried meat, Su Changming felt his body had become somewhat bloated.

This is because too much spiritual energy has been replenished.

The spiritual substances and elixirs ingested will often flow from the abdomen to the meridians throughout the body, eventually slowly gathering in the dantian.

The spiritual energy within the spirit stone can be directly absorbed into the dantian through cultivation techniques.

When the two are combined, the effect often becomes less than 2 (1+1=2).

But for Su Changming, all he needed was to increase his cultivation speed.

After the spiritual energy calmed down slightly, Su Changming took out a low-grade spirit stone and began to cultivate the Water Spirit Technique.

With the support of various resources, the spiritual energy within Su Changming's body gradually increased at a slow but steady pace.

After feeling a slight discomfort in my meridians due to absorbing too much spiritual energy.

Su Changming took out the Void Cloud Grass again and began to cultivate the Hundred Refinement Technique.

The Hundred Forging Technique was created by a martial artist at the peak of the Innate Realm. Its body-forging effect extends throughout the body, so there is no need to cultivate other body-forging techniques.

As a cultivator, he naturally didn't need to delve into techniques like swordsmanship.

Although sword cultivators exist in this world, they rely on talent.

He once bought a sword manual at the market, practiced for several days but only managed to make a mess of it, so he gave up immediately.

"At this point, all that's missing is the lightness skill..."

Su Changming took out a yellowed booklet from his storage bag.

The words "Feng Xing Bu" were written on it.

"The Windwalking Step and the Lightness Technique should complement each other perfectly, but I don't have the Lightness Technique on hand yet, so I'll have to go to the Scripture Pavilion to buy one first..."

Su Changming murmured.

Windwalk is a martial artist's movement technique, while Lightness Technique is a cultivation method.

However, the effect of the Lightness Technique is to enhance one's own speed with spiritual power.

It should work well with this kind of movement technique.

Previously, he had been practicing fireball and small spiritual energy shield, so he had no intention of practicing movement techniques.

Now we can start making preparations...
