Free Web NovelChapter 4: Chapter 4: Refining God Technique
To obtain essence, Yu Changsheng would have to deal with Spirit Beasts his entire life. Plus, he could also add points to his Spirit Beasts.
So, while it seemed he had many choices, there was only one correct path.
Returning to his wooden cabin, he hurriedly took out the Cultivation Technique from his Hundred Treasures Pouch.
"The Beast Taming Technique. This is the technique for forming a contract with a Demon Beast, divided into upper, middle, and lower volumes. Each volume covers two layers, for a total of six."
"The first layer allows one to contract a Tier One Demon Beast, and the second layer, a Tier Two Demon Beast. The more proficient one is in this technique, the higher the success rate. Once a contract is formed, a soul imprint is left on the Demon Beast’s soul. It will obey your every command and die when you do, making it nearly impossible for it to resist."
"One must also be aware of several conditions for the contract. For example, before forming the contract, the Demon Beast should be weakened and its hostility toward humans reduced. It is best to acquire a tamed Demon Beast or use a cub, as the success rate is much higher..."
"Warning: This technique is not for enslavement. It is forbidden for use on Transformed Demon Cultivators and humans. The user assumes all responsibility for any backlash incurred..."
Yu Changsheng hadn’t spent his time in the Qi Refining Clan for nothing. After reading the entire text, he had a general understanding of how to cultivate this technique.
’This technique isn’t difficult. I can learn it given some time. But the prerequisite is that my Divine Sense must become strong enough to suppress a Demon Beast’s soul, otherwise I can’t use it!’
After finishing with the Beast Taming Technique, Yu Changsheng opened the other Cultivation Technique, immediately closed his eyes, and began to feel for Spiritual Qi according to the Qi circulation method described within.
’This second one, the Refining God Technique, is a Cultivation Technique specifically designed for Beast Masters!’
"Qi Refining into the Body, gathering in the Dantian! Divine Sense Enters the Palace, creating the Inner Realm!"
Sword Cultivators practice the sword, Magic Cultivators practice magic, and Beast Masters cultivate their Inner Realm!
The Inner Realm is a Beast Master’s most crucial asset. It is a space opened within the Dantian. Just as a Sword Cultivator can store a Magical Artifact inside their body, a Beast Master can house their Spirit Pets within their Inner Realm.
A contracted Spirit Pet will cultivate much faster inside the Inner Realm than it would outside. Uncontracted Demon Beasts cannot be admitted into the Inner Realm; they can only be kept in a Spirit Beast Pouch.
The number of Spirit Pets a Beast Master can contract is also related to the size of their Inner Realm. Theoretically, the higher the Cultivation Realm and the broader the Divine Sense, the larger the Inner Realm.
According to the introduction of the Refining God Technique, as long as he cultivated his Divine Sense to the point where it could extend ten meters, he could open his Inner Realm and contract his first Spirit Pet!
Right now, at the Qi Refining Third Layer, his Divine Sense had a pitiful range of only five meters.
Thus, he could only focus on cultivating the Refining God Technique.
But while he understood it and knew how to cultivate, even with all his effort, the speed of his cultivation was frustratingly slow!
His aptitude was holding him back.
Then, just as dawn was breaking the next day, he finally completed a Minor Circulation while focused on the Refining God Technique!
A moment later, a message appeared in his mind.
[You have cultivated the Refining God Technique. Do you wish to add points?]
"Add points!"
Yu Changsheng shivered with excitement.
He saw the Cultivation Technique line on his status change; information about the Refining God Technique had appeared.
[Name: Yu Changsheng]
[Realm: Qi Refining Third Heaven]
[Physique: Spirit Beast Affinity]
[Cultivation Technique: Chang Chun Technique Proficient (2/10000), Refining God Technique Beginner (565/1000), Beast Taming Technique Beginner (1/1000)]
[Magic: Fireball Skill Mastery (55/1000), Wind Walking Skill Mastery (168/1000), Wood Shield Skill Introduction (5/100), Rainwalking Skill Introduction (10/100)]
[Skills: Tier One Spirit Plant (5/1000)]
[Spirit Pet: None]
[Remaining Essence: 0]
He dumped all the essence he had saved up over the past few days into the Refining God Technique.
At the same time, his Divine Sense rapidly expanded, breaking through from a five-meter range to twenty-five meters!
The rapid improvement of his Divine Sense thrilled Yu Changsheng.
’I did it! I can open my Inner Realm now!’
He quickly closed his eyes to feel the change.
After reaching the Beginner level in the Refining God Technique, his speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi was much faster than the previous night, and the circulation of Qi within his body became much smoother.
The Refining God Technique had three volumes, but unlike the Beast Taming Technique’s six layers, its three volumes explained how to enhance Divine Sense, accelerate Cultivation, and expand the Inner Realm.
The Upper Volume he was currently cultivating focused on enhancing Divine Sense. The Beginner level increased its range by one meter, the Proficient level could reach fifty meters, and subsequent stages like Mastery, Minor Achievement, Great Success, and Entering the Realm of Mastery would cause the range to grow continuously.
According to the records of the Refining God Technique, no one in the sect had ever cultivated it to the stage of Entering the Realm of Mastery. ’Even Golden Core or Purple Mansion Great Powers probably only managed to reach the Great Success stage,’ Yu Changsheng thought.
A single Cultivation Technique was profound and vast; it could take a lifetime to master it completely. Therefore, many Cultivators would choose to switch to a different Cultivation Technique after reaching a higher Realm.
But he could use the system’s essence to add points to his Cultivation Technique and speed up his progress. Perhaps he could reach Entering the Realm of Mastery within a hundred years. ’How vast would my Divine Sense be then?’
’Even at the Qi Refining Realm, my Divine Sense would probably be comparable to that of a Golden Core Great Power.’
Yu Changsheng cultivated for another two hours before opening his eyes. "Whether it’s the Refining God Technique or the Beast Taming Technique, my progress hasn’t changed at all," he muttered helplessly.
"My aptitude is truly pathetic. Just thinking about those who can cultivate to Great Success on their own... what kind of monsters are they?"
"Crap, look at the time!"
He looked up at the sky, his expression changed, and he hurried outside.
He had originally wanted to try opening his Inner Realm, but it was already almost noon, and he still hadn’t fed the Spirit Chickens!
Yu Changsheng rushed to the Spirit Chicken Garden and ran right into Huang Li and his cronies, who were just coming out.
"So it’s you, Yu Changsheng! Playing me for a fool, are you!"
Huang Li’s expression was grim. Without a second thought, he aimed a kick right at Yu Changsheng’s stomach.
But Yu Changsheng’s Divine Sense was now incredibly powerful. His opponent’s move was completely within his expectations, and he dodged it with a slight shift of his body.
With his kick missing, Huang Li’s expression changed. Unable to stop his momentum, he slid forward.
And did the splits right in front of everyone!
"SSSK!"
"Brother Huang! Brother Huang!"
Seeing the excruciatingly painful expression on Huang Li’s face, the servant disciples who followed him rushed forward in a panic to help him up.
"Get away! Get away!" Huang Li gritted his teeth and stood up, his legs trembling slightly from the pain. But at this moment, the rage in his heart had suppressed the agony.
"You dare to dodge? Reached the Qi Refining Third Layer and suddenly grew a backbone, huh? See if I don’t teach you a harsh lesson!"
After shouting, Huang Li slapped his Hundred Treasures Pouch, and a Spirit Sword appeared in his hand. With a swipe of his finger, he cast the Sharp Blade Skill, and a white aura appeared on the sword’s edge!
Sword Cultivators possessed the ultimate offensive and lethal techniques; ordinary Cultivators were simply no match.
But his sword was not yet worthy of the title "Sword Cultivator."
’Too slow,’ Yu Changsheng thought. He then cast the Wind Travel Skill, once again dodging the attack.
This only made Huang Li even more furious, and he slashed a wave of Sword Qi toward him.
However, the Sword Qi only struck the mountain path, sending shattered rocks flying everywhere, while Yu Changsheng remained completely unharmed. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
In Yu Changsheng’s calm eyes, Huang Li was like a child throwing a tantrum out of embarrassment. Every trajectory of his attacks was clearly visible within the range of his powerful Divine Sense.
"What are you all standing there for? Get him! We’re teaching him a lesson today!"
Hearing this, the two servant disciples scrambled to draw their Spirit Swords.
But at that moment, a cold shout froze everyone on the scene.
"What are you doing! Are you trying to destroy the Spirit Chicken Garden?!"
The newcomer was none other than the Blue-robed Steward of the Spirit Chicken Garden.
