Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques Chapter 316: Killing and Seizing Spirits (Part 2)

Chapter 316: Killing and Seizing Spirits (Part 2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After all, the simplification of many cultivation techniques, especially for the Body Refining Realm, might cost around several tens of thousands of taels of silver. Even for techniques as powerful as the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Technique, it only cost six thousand taels initially.

However, for techniques beyond the Body Refining Realm, the cost of simplification skyrocketed, and just over a hundred thousand taels wouldn’t be nearly enough.

While silver coins were in limited supply, Chen Fei had acc.u.mulated quite a number of elemental stones.

Not all of the elixirs Chen Fei produced were for his own use. He occasionally sold some in exchange for elemental stones, especially after realizing the limitations of his core soul energy on his cultivation. As a result, the number of elemental stones he had collected over time had grown significantly.

This scattered storage had led to an extravagant number of elemental stones displayed on his interface over a hundred of them.

This was undoubtedly a substantial fortune. It could be used to purchase elixirs that would enable Chen Fei to open up more acupoints. However, Chen Fei chose to keep it.

As long as there was money on the interface, Chen Fei felt a bit more confident. You never knew when this money might come in handy.

“Hahaha!”

The martial hall’s leader burst into loud laughter, and not only him, but all the martial hall students around also started laughing. It was as if Chen Fei couldn’t wait to meet his end.

“Watch closely, the Slaughter Spirit Technique!”

The martial hall’s leader bellowed as he swung his hand forward, slicing through the empty s.p.a.ce. Initially empty-handed, as he made the swing, a formidable force seemed to gather at the edge of his hand, creating a feeling of earth-shattering power.

“Hum!”

The entire martial hall trembled as Chen Fei’s hair fluttered backward in the strong wind, and his clothes clung to his body, malting a sound like tearing silk.

Chen Fei squinted his eyes slightly. This technique, Slaughter Spirit, was not only about cutting through the body but also involved a strange power that he couldn’t discern in a short time.

The martial hall’s leader, after executing the move, stood firm and turned to look at Chen Fei. A mysterious smile played on his lips as he extended his right hand, producing a manual.

“The cultivation method for this technique is inside. Let s begin!”

The manual floated in front of Chen Fei, who reached out to receive it. The material of the manual felt unusually cold to the touch. Chen Fei opened it and started reading carefully.

The martial hall’s leader gazed at the fruits in Chen Fei’s basket, especially the one representing his lifespan, emitting an enticing fragrance. All he had to do was wait for two hours, and all these things would belong to him.

As for Chen Fei’s chances of learning the Slaughter Spirit Technique?

The martial hall’s leader had neglected to mention one crucial detail

Slaughter Spirit Technique was not a complete cultivation technique but rather a specific move from another cultivation method. To learn the Slaughter Spirit Technique, one had to first master that entire cultivation method and then proceed to study the technique. It was like the case of the Zhongyuan Sword Pearl and the Zhongyuan Sword. Only by comprehending and mastering the Zhongyuan Sword could the sword pearl be unleashed.

Attempting to learn the Slaughter Spirit Technique without mastering its parent cultivation method was not impossible, but it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult. It involved reversing the natural order, and while it was theoretically possible for someone with exceptional talent, it would still require a significant amount of time and effort.

It’s not just a matter of time; when deducing it, one must also possess a strong foundation in martial arts.

It’s like a blind person trying to figure out what an elephant looks like by feeling its ivory tusks. For someone who has never seen or heard of an elephant, this would be an unimaginable challenge.

Chen Fei’s true cultivation level must be definitely below the Combined Aperture Tempering realm because the Despair City couldn’t suppress someone at that level. Without reaching the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, no matter how talented one was, without sufficient time, it was impossible to reverse-engineer a cultivation technique, let alone learn the Slaughter Spirit Technique.

In less than a half an hour, Chen Fei had finished reading the manual for the Slaughter Spirit Technique. As he read, he realized the problem with this technique.

It was just a partial move from a certain cultivation method, without a complete set of principles. Learning such a partial move was extremely challenging. It wasn’t impossible since the manual was fairly comprehensive, but it would require a significant amount of time and effort to master.

Two hours? Even for a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, achieving this was almost impossible.

Unless someone provided meticulous and comprehensive guidance, it couldn’t be done.

Chen Fei looked up at the martial hall’s leader, hoping for careful instruction, but he knew it was unlikely. Chen Fei couldn’t provide such instruction himself, but his panel could!

Back in Pingyin County, the hastily recorded Thunderous Sword Force had been simplified into the Astonis.h.i.+ng Symbol Art because of his panel. Now, with the relatively complete Slaughter Spirit Technique in front of him, there was no way his panel couldn’t simplify it.

As long as he had money, many problems could be solved. Conveniently, Chen Fei had money now.

The martial hall’s leader gazed at Chen Fei with a cold expression, hoping to see him frustrated, but instead, he only saw Chen Fei’s calm demeanor.

“Discover the cultivation technique and spend ten pieces of elemental stones to simplify the Slaughter Spirit Technique?”

Chen Fei’s expression twitched slightly. The price for simplifying just one technique move was actually on par with the total amount he had spent on simplifying the entire Zhongyuan Sword Technique. This indicated how intricate the manual with the Slaughter Spirit Technique was.

Perhaps it was on par with the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique?

“Simplify!”

“Simplifying the Slaughter Spirit Technique… Simplification successful… Slaughter Spirit Technique —> Cleaving Strike!”

Seeing the result of the simplification, a smile couldn’t help but appear on Chen Fei’s face. This task could be considered accomplished.

“You don’t have much time; you better hurry up,” the martial hall’s leader’s cold voice chimed in.

It wasn’t a friendly reminder; instead, it was an attempt to add more pressure to Chen Fei. Rus.h.i.+ng often led to mistakes, and panic was a common response under pressure for most people..
