Complete one practice method every day

Before Chen Yuqing could speak, Xiao Cui beside him widened her eyes: "Master Chen! Aren't you being a bit too greedy? You actually want to read all four books? Are you trying to get the other three for free?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yue calmly looked at Chen Yuqing and said, "Manager Chen, I seem to recall mentioning something at the pharmacy last time: when we're discussing serious matters, could you perhaps ask her to keep quiet?"

"You!" Xiao Cui's chest heaved violently as she pointed at Chen Yue, about to retort.

Chen Yuqing raised her hand to stop Xiao Cui. She gave Chen Yue a deep look, her phoenix eyes flashing.

"Can."

Chen Yuqing finally nodded slowly. "You may read through all four manuals. But only for now, right here in this room. After you have read them, you must make a choice immediately, and once you have chosen, you cannot go back on your decision, nor can you reveal the contents of the manuals you have read to anyone."

Chen Yue smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Manager Chen is wise. I will not go back on my choice. As for revealing the cultivation method, now that I have been given the method, I will keep my mouth shut."

"Okay." Chen Yuqing said no more, but stood quietly to the side, looking at Chen Yue with a calm gaze.

Chen Yue didn't stand on ceremony and picked up the book "Treading Snow Without Leaving a Trace" first.

He read extremely quickly, his eyes rapidly scanning the pages, his mind using the foundation of the Floating Light and Shadow Technique to understand it. Next came the Nourishing Yuan Technique, and finally the Mountain Moving Force and the Rock Splitting Fist.

Chen Yue quickly flipped through all four manuals and tried to integrate them with his own martial arts techniques.

A moment later, Chen Yue gently placed the last copy of the Stone-Splitting Fist manual back on the table.

"Well? Have you made a decision?" Chen Yuqing asked.

Chen Yue's gaze swept over the four manuals again, finally settling on the blue-covered "Treading Snow Without a Trace," and he picked it up: "I choose this technique, Treading Snow Without a Trace."

A knowing glint flashed in Chen Yuqing's eyes. Choosing a movement technique was indeed a wise and practical choice.

In a world fraught with danger, possessing an excellent movement technique is crucial for pursuit, escape, and evasion. Moreover, movement techniques are relatively independent and have fewer conflicts with other martial arts styles.

"Can."

Chen Yuqing nodded, gathered the other three manuals on the table and put them back into his sleeve, then said to Chen Yue, "The ingredients for the Blood-Activating Pill will be delivered later. Starting today, take twenty-five pills every day without fail."

"Okay." Chen Yue nodded.

Chen Yuqing said no more, and left the room with the still sulking Xiao Cui.

The door closed, leaving Chen Yue alone inside.

He looked down at the book "Treading Snow Without a Trace" in his hand, and then recalled the general contents of the other three cultivation techniques he had just memorized. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Outside the door, in the corridor.

Xiao Cui was still indignant, and whispered to Chen Yuqing, "Miss, why did you agree to let him read them all? What if he really secretly memorized the contents of the other three books and used them for cultivation? Wouldn't that be giving him a free ride?"

Chen Yuqing walked with composure, and gently shook his head upon hearing this: "The way of martial arts is not that simple. You may be able to remember some moves and formulas by looking at the manual once, but the key points of qi and blood circulation inside cannot be mastered by looking at it once."

Forcing oneself to cultivate based on vague memories will most likely cause one's qi and blood to flow in reverse, harming oneself. Moreover, he has already read four different cultivation techniques at once; with his mind in such a state of confusion, how much can he possibly remember? Recklessly practicing will only harm himself in the end.

Xiao Cui listened to her mistress's logical analysis. Although she was still dissatisfied with Chen Yue's attitude, she knew that her mistress was right. She could only purse her lips and whisper:

"I just can't stand his attitude... Now he has nowhere to go and is entirely dependent on our Chen family for protection, yet he's still being picky and haggling. Miss, in my opinion, we should just increase the daily amount of Blood Activating Pills to thirty!"

Chen Yuqing paused slightly, glancing sideways at Xiao Cui: "His value lies in his ability to consistently refine high-quality Blood-Activating Pills. Even outside of our Chen family, other families in Youlin County are willing to protect him."

The thieves' motives are still unclear, and Li Lie's death is suspicious; these are turbulent times. Twenty-five pills will alleviate the pharmacy's urgent needs without forcing him to leave. I understand the situation; you need not say anything more.”

Xiao Cui felt a chill run down her spine when she saw Chen Yuqing's slightly stern gaze. She quickly lowered her head and replied, "Yes, Miss, this servant knows her mistake."

Chen Yuqing stopped talking and, with Xiao Cui in tow, gradually disappeared into the deep corridors of the Chen residence.

……

Chen Yue was led by a servant to a front yard. The yard was not large, but it was fully equipped with a pill furnace, medicine cabinets, and all kinds of tools, clearly prepared for his long-term pill refining.

Chen Yue first familiarized himself with the environment, and then sat down in front of the prepared alchemy furnace.

He did not immediately begin refining the Blood-Activating Pill. Instead, he closed his eyes and focused his mind, repeatedly recalling and deducing the four cultivation manuals he had just read.

The light-body leaping and breath control techniques of "walking on snow without leaving a trace," the balanced and peaceful philosophy of "nourishing the vital energy" and "warming the foundation," the method of "moving mountains" to temper muscles and bones and stimulate potential, and the powerful and direct force exertion of "rock-cracking fist"...

These contents, like scattered pearls, are constantly dissected and analyzed, and attempts are made to compare and integrate them with one's existing techniques.

Integrating a skill is naturally not something that can be accomplished in a day. Often, it may be more of a wild idea, but with the interface, such wild ideas will be brought back to the right path.

A moment later, Chen Yue began refining the Blood-Activating Pill.

For him, refining the Blood-Activating Pill at the Perfected Realm was as natural as breathing. He only needed to pay attention to a few key points, and most of his mind could be immersed in the deduction and integration of the cultivation technique.

Time slipped away quietly amidst the leaping flames of the alchemy fire and the storms raging in my mind.

As night once again enveloped the Chen residence, and all was quiet, the ripples of midnight began precisely on time.

Daily Settlement

[Through diligent deduction and attempts to integrate the techniques, the integration was successful, and the new techniques "Zhen Yue Gu Yuan Jue" and "Zong Yun Qian Die Bu" were obtained.]

[Taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill provides a mild cleansing and bone-strengthening effect.]

[Diligent cultivation, cultivation level +15]

……

[Skill: Mountain-Suppressing and Yuan-Consolidating Technique (Mastery 1205/2133)]

[Skill: Cloud-Soaring Steps (Mastery 75/3211)]

[Skill: Concealing Breath Technique (Minor Success 32/600)]

[Skill: Poison Repellent Pill (Minor Success 12/1200)]

……

A flood of insights into cultivation techniques and elixirs surged into Chen Yue's mind.

The Art of Strengthening the Body and Stabilizing the Origin!

This is a completely new body-refining technique based on the Perfected Realm of the Mountain Collapse Technique, which integrates the gentle, nourishing, and enduring characteristics of the Nourishing Essence Technique, as well as the methods of the Mountain Moving Force and the Stone Crack Fist to temper muscles and bones and stimulate potential.

It not only retains the powerful characteristics of the Collapsing Mountain Technique, but also greatly enhances the speed of blood and qi recovery, the body's endurance, and the stability of its foundation.

The panel shows that the required experience for the Great Completion Technique is as high as 2133 points, and this is after the reduction by the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Its quality is clearly higher than the original Mountain Collapse Technique.

Soaring through a thousand layers of clouds!

This is a more refined movement technique, with the Floating Light and Shadow Technique of the Great Completion Realm as its core, deeply integrated with the exquisite aura control and complex terrain adaptation skills of Treading Snow Without a Trace.

It combines the instantaneous burst and agility of the Fleeting Shadow Technique with the enduring lightness and terrain utilization of the Snowwalking Without a Trace, allowing the movement technique to be transformed into a sharp attack or escape method while dodging and weaving.

Its mastery experience requirement is as high as 3211 points, making it the second highest level among the techniques Chen Yue has learned so far, far surpassing his previous movement techniques.

"Even if I only watch it once, it works!" Chen Yue felt a surge of joy.

Even a superficial reading and memorization can be combined with one's existing techniques to create a stronger new technique.

Feeling the exquisite operating routes of the two brand-new cultivation techniques in his mind, and the tingling sensation brought by his body instinctively adjusting to adapt to the new blood and qi pathways, Chen Yue's eyes were full of smiles.
