Chapter 404 Ancient Cultivation Methods! 5. Bird Body Tempering Method!
"War?"
Hearing what the other person said, Xiao Yu felt complicated.
The first thing this ancient human said upon waking up was that he was concerned about war.
After a moment's thought, he said, "Senior, I don't know about these things. I only know that our era is very far removed from yours, thousands or tens of thousands of years have passed? And your sect no longer exists."
"I see, I should have thought of that sooner."
The man in the green robe gave a bitter smile and fell silent.
"Senior, your battle is over! But... our battle has just begun..." Seeing the other party's eyes darken and his body suddenly become somewhat ethereal, Xiao Yu quickly spoke up.
He detected it with a single scan using his energy perception talent.
This person... has been dead for countless years.
The only reason I can still talk to him now is because of an obsession.
An obsession with that war.
"Can you tell us where those monsters came from? What are their weaknesses?"
Xiao Yu had a premonition.
This is a once-in-a-century catastrophe, something we must truly face.
Not ferocious beasts! But these otherworldly monsters!
Since they once destroyed this world, their strength and methods must far surpass those of humans!
It was rare to encounter an ancient human who had fought against these monsters. Xiao Yu wanted to learn more information from the other party, preferably more about the monsters' weaknesses.
"Weakness? Don't you already know that?"
The man in the green robe gave a bitter smile, looked at Xiao Yu, and said with a complicated expression, "These monsters are extremely dark and evil, so the strongest way to restrain them is with the opposite force, such as light and fire... However, you helped me avenge my sect and have done a great favor for it, so I should repay you."
He pointed a finger at Xiao Yu, and a semi-transparent ball of light flew into Xiao Yu's palm.
"After those monsters invaded, they destroyed all cultivation systems. I can no longer teach you, so this is all I have... This is the basic cultivation method of my sect, which ordinary people can practice."
"Young people, we've done our best. The future of this world... rests on your shoulders!"
After he finished speaking, the figure of the man in the green robe became even more ethereal.
Finally, he glanced around the palace and disappeared.
"Thank you, senior!"
Watching the figure in the green robe disappear, Xiao Yu bowed slightly and thanked him.
He deserves respect for a predecessor who resisted an invasion from another world countless years ago.
After a moment, Xiao Yu withdrew his gaze, examining the ball of light in his palm with burning eyes: "Is this... an ancient cultivation method?"
Without hesitation, I gripped it tightly.
The next second, a flood of information poured into my mind.
Xiao Yu immediately closed his eyes and began to sense.
Within this ball of light are fragments of the green-robed man's memories.
Xiao Yu also learned of this.
This sect is called Canglan Sect, and the man in the green robe is called Qingfeng, who is the sect's Grand Elder.
After being corrupted by the monster, he completely lost his mind, and his martial arts techniques were also destroyed.
The only remaining memory of the cultivation technique is the one contained within this ball of light.
Moreover, the conditions for cultivating advanced techniques are very demanding; both talent and resources are crucial.
On the contrary, low-level techniques are known to everyone in the world, making them impossible to completely eradicate.
Cultivation is very simple; anyone can cultivate it.
However, the lower the level of the cultivation technique, the longer it takes to cultivate.
High-level cultivation techniques allow you to advance one level per month, while low-level techniques require a year to advance one level.
Among the memories provided by Qingfeng, there are three kinds of inheritance.
Firstly, it is the most widely circulated cultivation method on Earth, called "Energy Guiding Technique".
As the name suggests, it involves drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, circulating it throughout the body, and strengthening oneself.
However, it is also divided into three parts: the first part, the second part, and the third part.
The initial stage of cultivation allows for twice the speed of normal cultivation in terms of strength improvement.
The cultivation middle section is three times faster.
And if you cultivate the later stages, you can achieve up to five times the speed!
Of course, qualifications are also very important!
The higher a person's aptitude, the better their adaptability to spiritual energy and the better their cultivation results.
Xiao Yu immediately sat cross-legged on the spot and tried to guide external energy into his body...
He quickly shook his head in disappointment.
These techniques were also useful to him, but the speed was still too slow.
"I have a system, so my speed of improving my strength far surpasses that of anyone else! I don't need any cultivation techniques at all!" Xiao Yu quickly realized, thinking to himself.
This technique had very limited effect on him.
However... just as the manual states, ordinary people can cultivate this technique.
Everyone in Dragon City can cultivate.
"The second inheritance is the Five Animal Body Forging Method..." Pulling his thoughts back, Xiao Yu once again immersed himself in the memories of the inherited techniques.
He quickly understood the situation.
The so-called "Five Animal Exercises".
It aims to improve physical fitness by imitating the movements and physical training methods of five animals: tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird.
The Five Animal Frolics exercise not only strengthens all the muscles in the body, but also strengthens internal organs such as the heart and lungs.
It is a body-refining technique that greatly enhances the body from the inside out.
"If one reaches the highest level of body tempering, can their physique be comparable to, or even surpass, that of a ferocious beast?" Upon seeing the final annotation, Xiao Yu was overjoyed once again.
This is another good thing.
After the wasteland era arrived, humans became the bottom of the food chain.
The biggest reason is that the physical body is too weak.
But now, with this "Five Animal Frolics Body Strengthening Method," we can make up for the deficiencies in our physical body.
With the addition of human intelligence, defeating ferocious beasts will be an absolute breeze!
"The third is alchemy! This... is the most important!"
Previously, Dragon City had all sorts of rare and precious materials.
However, things like Night-Shining Dew and Bodhi Fruit are all eaten directly.
Eating it directly also has a good effect.
However, if one learns alchemy, one can refine elixirs using special methods.
It's more effective than before and can be stored for a longer period.
Moreover, since ancient cultivation methods did not involve elixirs, they were almost impossible to practice!
"These things aren't really useful to me personally, but..."
After digesting the inherited information, Xiao Yu was already extremely excited. "It can increase the strength of everyone in Dragon City several times, or even dozens of times, in a very short time! This is exactly what I need right now!"
Luo Xia, who was standing nearby, naturally overheard Xiao Yu's conversation with the ancient humans.
You should know that he, a seventh-level cultivator, ventured into the ancient ruins specifically for the ancient cultivation method.
But now... watching Xiao Yu cultivate, all he can do is look on with envy.
"Alas... it's all fate!" In the end, Luo Xia could only think bitterly.
The Lord of Longcheng saved his life, allowing him to return alive to see his granddaughter.
This kindness is already higher than the sky; he should not have any other expectations.
"Let's go!" Xiao Yu had opened his eyes at some point. He immediately conjured a semi-transparent energy shield, enveloping himself and Luo Xia within it, and flew straight towards the exit of the ruins.
Having achieved our primary objective of entering the ruins, there is no point in staying here any longer.
On the return trip, there was no need to visit the ruins again, so the journey was naturally very fast.
Moreover, Xiao Yu has just mastered the power of wind.
He felt like he was now the god of the wind.
If an enemy were to fight him in the air, he would probably be easily crushed!
Previously, it relied entirely on its own power to fly, so its speed was naturally quite average.
But now, flying directly on the wind and soaring through the heavens is effortless.
His flight speed was naturally several times faster than before.
In just a few minutes, we had already traversed hundreds of kilometers and reached the exit of the ruins.
"Lord of Dragon City, save me!" As Xiao Yu and his companion flew through the sky, a cry for help rang out from below.
Rorschach instinctively looked down.
Below, amidst the ruins, a group of people were engaged in a frenzied battle.
However, Xiao Yu didn't even glance at it, and his speed didn't decrease at all.
"Lord of Dragon City..." Luo Xia asked, somewhat puzzled.
Xiao Yu ignored him and said coldly, "Dogs fighting like dogs, do you expect me to save you?"
He had seen these people before when he was searching for the ruins.
At that time, there were still more than a dozen people fighting and squabbling below.
When we entered the ruins, Lord Xueye kindly advised us against it.
The end times are coming; instead of killing each other, we should unite against external threats.
But now, the number of people is only half of what it used to be. Where are the rest?
It was obvious that those people had been killed.
