I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

Xu Hao waited for a moment before the middle-aged man came over with two booklets.

The middle-aged man then threw the two booklets onto the table in front of Xu Hao.

"This is the method for condensing the Azure Crane Force, and the method for cultivating the Flying Crane Sword Technique. You can take these and practice them. If you don't understand them, you can go to the Transmission Hall and find the relevant cultivation elders to teach you for a fee!"

Furthermore, without the sect's permission, the cultivation techniques cannot be passed on to outsiders; otherwise, the sect will be expelled by the enforcement elders!

"Yes!" Xu Hao nodded.

"Alright, you can keep the booklet for three months. After three months, if you want to keep it, you'll need to pay 100 merit points per month!"

The middle-aged man reminded him again.

"Yes!" Xu Hao nodded again.

Immediately, Xu Hao picked up the two cultivation manuals, left the cultivation manual hall, and headed straight for the transmission of skills hall.

Since he could pay someone to teach him, he wouldn't bother to study and practice on his own.

Because his primary goal is to digitize the cultivation techniques on the game panel. As long as they can be digitized, spending a little merit points is not a problem at all.

As Xu Hao walked, he flipped through the booklet, briefly going over it in his mind.

First is the strength of the crane.

This is a cultivation method for condensing qi and blood.

When one's Qi and blood are condensed and transformed into internal strength, one can advance to the realm of internal strength.

This process is difficult.

Because ordinary body tempering and blood circulation is simply not enough to transform qi and blood into strength.

It requires a lot of resources, as well as certain cultivation methods.

For example, the Canghe Jin requires certain medicinal materials, plus a specific type of crane milk.

This crane milk is something that grey cranes form, much like a bird's nest, under specific conditions.

The older the product, the better its efficacy.

Generally speaking, a ten-year supply of crane milk is sufficient.

Even a ten-year supply is extremely expensive.

One set costs two thousand taels of silver, equivalent to two hundred merits.

This was because he was a member of the Five Animal Frolics sect and enjoyed preferential treatment.

For anyone else, obtaining a single serving of crane milk would cost an astronomical price.

No wonder so many martial artists who have reached the fourth level of Body Tempering are willing to serve as menial tasks for outer disciples.

No wonder even a martial artist like Chen Changhe didn't achieve the Qi and Blood Transformation Technique.

"This cultivation is really expensive!" Xu Hao exclaimed.

Crane milk alone is so expensive.

Xu Hao previously had ten or twenty thousand taels of silver, and considered himself to be a wealthy man.

Now it seems that it is simply not enough to support his transformation of qi and blood into strength.

After examining the practice of the Azure Crane Force, Xu Hao then looked at the Flying Crane Sword Technique.

This sword technique is relatively simple to learn.

With specific techniques for generating power and the corresponding resources, one can basically begin cultivation.

Compared to cultivation methods that focus on condensing internal energy, the Flying Crane Sword Technique is relatively much cheaper.

After browsing through the two booklets and gaining a more intuitive understanding of them, Xu Hao continued to study them.

Xu Hao only put down the booklet in his hand when he arrived at the Chuan Gong Hall.

At this moment, there are already quite a few people engaged in activities at the Transmission Hall.

They were clearly aiming for the same goal as Xu Hao: to find someone to teach them martial arts techniques.

Xu Hao did not make a decision immediately, but looked around.

He doesn't know who teaches well, but he can understand the flow of people and prices.

Generally speaking, there's a reason why something is expensive, and there's a reason why there are many people.

After observing for a moment, Xu Hao found an outer sect elder named Qin Yuliang.

The reason for looking for him is that he shares the same surname as Qin Feixue.

Judging from the few people with the surname Qin I've met, they are all quite upright.

Moreover, Qin Yuliang's teaching fees are reasonable, and many outer disciples come to him for help, so he seems to be a good teacher.

Most importantly, Qin Yuliang's name is entirely green, without a trace of yellow or red.

Anyone who's played the game knows that green names represent teammates from the same faction who won't easily sabotage you!

Xu Hao walked over and looked at the explanation. He learned that it cost one hundred merit points for one hour of instruction, and couldn't help but sigh, "That's expensive."

This one hour is worth one thousand taels of silver.

Money is too easy to make.

Xu Hao quickly approached Qin Yuliang, offered to pass on his skills, and handed him a merit plaque worth one hundred.

"Your instruction will begin at 3:45 PM!" After receiving the merit plaque, Qin Yuliang took out the pre-registered list, arranged a seat for Xu Hao, and continued, "During this time, you can observe and try to understand on your own. When the lesson begins, you can ask questions about anything you don't understand!"

"Okay!" Xu Hao nodded.

The cultivation methods practiced in Hefeng are all quite similar, so you could say that if you start practicing later, you can learn more from Qin Yuliang's teachings.

Xu Hao walked to a stool, found an empty seat, and sat down quietly, watching Qin Yuliang's instruction and explanation.

The others watched intently as well.

Even without personal guidance, Xu Hao understood a lot of the essentials of cultivation just by watching.

These 100 merit points are well worth it.

Soon, the second quarter of the hour of Wei (1-3 PM) arrived.

"Next, Xu Hao!" Qin Yuliang turned to look at a row of benches and gave the order.

Xu Hao stood up and walked forward.

"Do you need me to demonstrate?" Qin Yuliang asked.

"Please!" Xu Hao nodded.

At first, he just sat on the stool and watched, although he understood it.

But since I've already paid the money, I naturally want to observe it up close and understand the specific cultivation methods.

"Alright!" Qin Yuliang nodded and began patiently, "I'm teaching you the Azure Crane Strength!"

This power requires the qi and blood to reach a certain level and be gradually refined; it cannot be rushed.

To refine Qi and blood, the key is to find the right pattern of Qi and blood circulation, allowing it to flow along certain meridians and finally condense in the Dantian.

Ideally, it should form a vortex, which would stimulate the flow of Qi and blood throughout the body, facilitating their accumulation.

Qin Yuliang spoke at length, focusing on the key points of refining internal strength.

"Did you understand?" Qin Yuliang asked as a final question.

"I understand. Do I need to practice it once?" Xu Hao asked.

Although he understood it, he wouldn't give up until he had condensed it into the game panel.

Qin Yuliang patiently said, "Then you demonstrate it once, and I'll see what parts need to be changed!"

Xu Hao took a deep breath, immediately sat down cross-legged, and began to circulate his internal energy.

Although the techniques of the Azure Crane Force are the same, everyone's practice is different.

Because body height and weight will affect the method of operation.

Even a slight mistake can make it difficult for qi and blood to condense.

This is what is meant by "a small difference can lead to a huge error"!

"You can't take deep breaths here. You need to change your rhythm a bit. You can't concentrate your qi and blood too much, or it will interfere with your body's functions. Also, here... here..."

Qin Yuliang patiently explained and guided Xu Hao step by step to make changes.

Xu Hao has been constantly changing, focusing on cultivating the Azure Crane Force, and has not touched the Flying Crane Sword Technique.

Time slips away unnoticed.

After a few incense sticks had burned, Xu Hao's body suddenly trembled.

Under Qin Yuliang's instruction, he correctly refined the method and completely imprinted the cultivation of the Azure Crane Strength.

[Azure Crane Strength, +1]

Meanwhile, the data of Cang He Jin has been generated on his panel.
