Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 190: Cultivation Technique and Technique

"Is there a problem with the cultivation technique?" Yun Mo was astonished, murmuring, "But... isn’t a cultivation technique just a way to guide how to refine spiritual energy? How can there be such a big difference?"

Bai Yunqi sneered, twitching his lips, "Utterly foolish! If there were no differences in cultivation techniques, why would there be different levels like Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow?"

After speaking, he leisurely cut and ate his meat, leaving Yun Mo still bewildered, seeming to understand yet not fully comprehending.

Hu Zhile gently explained upon seeing this, "Our regular cultivation generally falls into two types: one is the cultivation technique that guides spiritual energy to circulate through the body; the other is the technique that releases spiritual power.

The former is akin to choosing a path to climb a mountain. The higher the level, the more perfected the cultivation technique, standing you at a broad road to the heavens from the start, naturally making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

The lower the level of the cultivation technique, the less perfected it is, and the more flawed. Starting on a bumpy path, going around endlessly without making much progress, cultivation speed is slow and tiring.

Usually, the cultivation techniques passed down within clans are found by ancestors. Even if they are hereditary, they may not suit every clan member’s physique and talents. For example, if you are water affinity yet start cultivating a fire element technique, you will naturally face endless difficulties and challenges."

So there are so many twists and turns, Jiang Yuan listened quietly to the new points of knowledge while eating.

"I’m rather lucky then. My master gave me a cultivation technique to study, which directly matched my attributes, so my cultivation speed is relatively fast. Brother Mo was conned by the ancestral technique," Wan Mingchuan thought joyfully and immediately showered his master with another wave of favorability.

Bai Yunqi earnestly said, "This is your destiny, and the Venerable Family trained you well by directly giving you the most suitable cultivation technique. For a clan like the Ice-winged Eagle, having even the lowest-level cultivation technique is already quite a good inheritance, at least allowing one to step onto the path of cultivation.

In the world, many inherently gifted humans or demon beasts are barred from the threshold of cultivation by an entry-level technique, never able to glimpse the heavenly secrets, ultimately falling into ordinary life and entering the cycle of reincarnation after death."

"Thank you, Master!" Wan Mingchuan expressed unparalleled gratitude, solemnly bowing and thanking his master.

Jiang Yuan felt very comforted inside, yet his thoughts were complex.

Once upon a time, he saw Wan Mingchuan and Lin Chunsheng as preset NPCs in a game, never thinking of truly recruiting disciples or changing their destinies with the Heaven-Burning Scripture.

Moreover, because he regarded disciples as emotionless NPCs, he once wondered if their favorability would slowly decline over time, worried they might betray him like NPCs in some text-based cultivation games.

Now, thinking back, indeed, things are impermanent and unpredictable, and life may unexpectedly change at any moment.

Finally, Yun Mo completely understood.

Reflecting on his clan having only a yellow-tier lowest enlightenment technique yet favoring internal strife and stagnation, leading to each generation becoming weaker with no ability to seek more suitable, advanced cultivation techniques, the clan naturally couldn’t develop and grow.

"Now you see why large sects are so popular, right?" Bai Yunqi spun his knife and emphasized, "The greater the sect, the deeper its foundation. The more diverse the cultivation techniques and techniques, naturally allowing the quickest match to the most suitable technique according to the disciples’ talents and physique."

Yun Mo nodded repeatedly, "Then I’ll have to try my best to search for other better and more suitable cultivation techniques while cultivating, so one day I can also grow like you two seniors?"

The other party nodded in affirmation.

Hu Zhile patiently explained again, "Cultivation techniques are the foundation for solidifying spiritual power and usually come with some techniques. For example, you can release Feathered Arrows, and Mingchuan can release flames. Good cultivation techniques allow more storage of spiritual power and quicker realm advancement, while techniques let your spiritual power exhibit stronger capabilities.

Sometimes, even if the learned cultivation technique isn’t very good, acquiring solid techniques can still make one’s overall strength formidable."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan thought, huh? The Black Flame Storm I got from Eagle Twenty-One should be considered a technique?

So it wouldn’t hinder the cultivation progress and can be taught to disciples at the same time?

"Senior Hu, forgive my dullness, but may I ask a few more questions?" Yun Mo seized the opportunity to humbly seek knowledge, asking the basic points even Jiang Yuan wanted to know, "The technique I’m studying now is indeed the lowest entry-level, but since there is Foundation Establishment realm ice attribute spiritual power stored in my body. If I obtain a fire attribute technique, can I cultivate it?"

"Of course, you can cultivate it, but whether you can unleash it is another matter," Hu Zhile chuckled, "Take me for example, born in the Snow Mountain Fox Race, my enlightenment entry-level cultivation technique is also ice-based.

But shortly after reaching Foundation Establishment, I fell into hardships, struggling for survival. By a twist of fate, I obtained an earth attribute cultivation technique that suited me more, and after cultivation, the spiritual power shifted toward the bulky earth attribute.

The techniques I learned within the clan could still be used, but their power was much reduced.

You’re now cultivating an ice attribute technique, yet learning a fire attribute technique might result in being unable to release it at all; the power might be drastically reduced; or in rare cases, you could unleash the power of a mutant attribute, catching opponents off guard."

Yun Mo suddenly recalled Eagle Twenty-One’s awakening of the ability to coexist with ice and fire after achieving Foundation Establishment, realizing that the Ice-winged Eagle clan had the potential to unleash flames, but their unified cultivation technique limited other possibilities!

He then thought of his fallen companions and could only eat heartily to alleviate the emo in his heart.

"Today, everyone will work hard. We’re going to clear new grounds!" After finishing his meal, Jiang Yuan completed a cycle of crop harvesting and sowing, clapped his hands, and began distributing tools, pointing at the newly unlocked forest area and motivating them: "Let’s aim to cover this entire area today. Our goal is to cultivate more fields to grow more delicious food!"

Level Three, finally reaching Level Three and unlocking numerous new crops!

Last time, to resist addiction, I exited the Wilderness World a bit hastily, missing out on a lot of content. After logging in this time and checking everything, I felt utterly satisfied.

First, the protection area of the Level Three home is larger, providing a higher level of safety;

Next, a series of seen and unseen grain and vegetable seeds have been unlocked, including several common fruit tree seeds, enabling the cultivation of an entire orchard!

Lastly, and most importantly, a set of pill formulas pending unlocking in the privilege store.

Why pending unlocking? It means these can be unlocked for use, but require spending to purchase, and the alchemy room must be upgraded to the corresponding level to utilize the purchased pill formulas.

Although the marked prices are in the millions of spirit stones, as long as there is a price, there is hope.

"Venerable Family, why didn’t we clear this area when opening up that wasteland earlier?" Bai Yunqi, carrying an axe, looked puzzled. Just yesterday, an invisible barrier blocked it, preventing him from seeing what was hidden in the lush forest—even when flying—but today, suddenly there’s no obstruction?

He vaguely felt some pattern, yet he couldn’t grasp the key.

"I wanted to, but didn’t have enough strength before." Jiang Yuan thought to himself, do you think I like looking at this messy forest without wanting to clear it?

I’ve been itching to plant crops there right away, but the system doesn’t permit it!

Hu Zhile, holding the allocated mining pickaxe, found it strange—wasn’t clearing grounds just about cutting down and collecting all the trees and weeds? What kind of strength does that require?

The carefree Wan Mingchuan had plunged in with a sickle long ago. Before long, his excited shouts echoed from the dense forest, "Master! There’s a field of spirit medicine here, with tons already matured!"
