Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 382: Multi-tasking

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Core soul energy entanglement was like a lock. If you didn’t have the right method, you couldn’t unlock it. Resorting to brute force could easily result in the destruction of the jade scroll itself.

Fortunately, Chen Fei’s practice of the Thousand Thread Technique involved precise control over core soul energy. It was similar to refining medicine, where the properties of the medicinal herbs in the cauldron were in constant conflict.

If core soul energy couldn’t adeptly resolve these conflicts, allowing for a greater release of the properties, the result of the alchemy could end up as an explosion.

So, while others might find these core soul energy entangled jade scrolls troublesome, for Chen Fei, it was only a matter of spending some time.

In less than half an hour, as the jade scroll trembled slightly, the core soul energy entanglement on it was unraveled by Chen Fei. He delved his consciousness into the jade scroll and began perusing the recorded information.

15 minutes later, Chen Fei withdrew his consciousness and placed the jade scroll aside.

This was a cultivation technique practiced by Miao Qisheng, which was quite good. When cultivated to its peak, it could open up eighty-one cultivation acupoints. In terms of intricacy, it was on par with the Zhongyuan Sword of the Primordial Sword Sect.

However, this was not what Chen Fei needed at the moment. If he had some spare time later on, he might consider picking it up and see if it could bring him any benefits.

For now, Chen Fei’s primary focus remained on the Blade-Slaying Sword, these four cultivation methods. Unless a powerful core soul energy cultivation technique emerged, Chen Fei wouldn’t consider practicing it alongside his current ones.

Chen Fei took the second jade scroll in hand and began unraveling the core soul energy entanglement on it.

This time, it took much less time to unravel compared to the first time, but Chen Fei withdrew his consciousness from the jade scroll shortly after entering.

A diary, Miao Qisheng’s diary in the form of a jade scroll.

This was the first time Chen Fei had come across someone else’s diary. It should contain records of some important events, but it wasn’t what Chen Fei needed at the moment, so he decided to skip it for now.

Unless none of the other jade scrolls contained what Chen Fei needed, he would revisit this diary jade scroll to find the information he required.

Chen Fei took the third jade scroll in hand, unraveled it, and sent his consciousness inside. His speed in doing so was getting faster and faster.

The core soul energy entanglement on the surface of these jade scrolls might sound complex, and for those in the Aperture tempering realm without the appropriate skills, it would indeed be challenging.

However, for Chen Fei, who had already unraveled two jade scrolls, it was child’s play. Unraveling the remaining jade scrolls had become increasingly effortless for him.

The third jade scroll contained a sword technique, and it was quite stunning. Chen Fei was captivated by the sword principles within, even though he only read a small portion.

However, as he progressed further, Chen Fei discovered that this technique inheritance was damaged. It could only cultivate thirty-one cultivation acupoints, and it couldn’t even reach the pinnacle of the Aperture tempering realm.

It was like tasteless food that would be a pity to discard.

Such damaged technique inheritance was a source of frustration for many independent cultivators. They might have learned a powerful technique, but it was incomplete, leaving them feeling helpless.

The fourth jade scroll contained the record of a map.

However, their positions were generally low, at most reaching the level of inner disciples, and their roles were limited to gathering information. After all, to reach the position of a true transmission disciple, they would have to undergo a core soul energy examination, with almost no chance of passing.

Chen Fei recorded the names of several individuals and planned to report them to the sect leader, Qu Qingsheng. He even suspected that Qu Qingsheng might be highly knowledgeable about the infiltrators within the sect.

All the jade scrolls obtained from Miao Qisheng’s study had been decoded. Chen Fei then picked up the one that recorded Miao Qisheng’s diary and began reading from the most recent entries.

An hour later, Chen Fei set down the jade scroll in his hand, a smile unconsciously forming on his face.

Just as Chen Fei had speculated earlier, the reason behind Miao Qisheng’s tremendous increase in core soul energy did indeed lie within the Strange Heart Realm. The function of that formation was to refine the eerie creatures slain in the Strange Heart Realm.

The eerie creature source obtained after refining could be absorbed into one’s mental consciousness, aiding in the growth of core soul energy.

However, there was a drawback to absorbing this eerie creature source —it was impure and extremely prone to contaminating one’s mental consciousness.

The madness within the eerie creature source could cause one’s mental consciousness to collapse or turn into a mindless puppet with even the slightest lapse in attention.

Miao Qisheng’s solution was to slay weaker eerie creatures in the Strange Heart Realm, and the contents of the map recorded some of these relatively weaker eerie creatures.

The weaker the Strange Heart beings, the lesser madness they contained after refinement. After a period of digestion, most of the risks could be eliminated.

Miao Qisheng was also constantly improving his understanding of this formation. The higher his comprehension of the formation, the more efficient the refinement process, resulting in less residual madness from the eerie creature source.

Furthermore, if one possessed enough capability, setting up two formations simultaneously, layering them, could exponentially increase the refining ability of the formations. Miao Qisheng had always aimed for this and continuously practiced this formation with that goal in mind.

Therefore, within the jade scrolls, Miao Qisheng occasionally recorded his insights into the formation, all to fully master this formation as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, Miao Qisheng’s talent in formations couldn’t be considered extraordinary; it was merely average. Coupled with the fact that the method of deploying the Heart Refinement Formation was quite different from typical formations, Miao Qisheng made occasional progress at best.

“Stacking two formations? If I cultivate this Heart Refinement Formation to perfection, how many layers can I stack?”

Chen Fei picked up the jade scroll containing the Heart Refinement Formation and began studying it seriously. An hour later, information about the Heart Refinement Formation appeared in his mind.

“New formation discovered. Do you wish to spend sixteen elemental stones to simplify the Heart Refinement Formation?”

“Heart Refinement Formation simplification in progress… Simplification successful… Heart Refinement Formation -> Formation Diagram!”

The cost of simplification surprised Chen Fei. He had simplified several techniques of the Primordial Sword Sect, and none of them had a cost higher than this one.

This indicated that mastering this Heart Refinement Formation was indeed extremely challenging, far from being as simple as learning a complete technique inheritance.

In Chen Fei’s Sea of Consciousness, the Thousand Thread Secret Technique slightly trembled. It divided his core soul energy into hundreds of threads and began sketching the Formation Diagram of the Heart Refinement Formation in the air.

Compared to drawing by hand, the efficiency of simultaneously sketching with hundreds of threads of core soul energy was incomparable.

The complexity of the Heart Refinement Formation lay in the intricacies of its deployment, but the formation diagram itself was not complex at all. Therefore, Chen Fei, who could be described as a “jack of all trades” in this context, due to his ability to simultaneously operate hundreds of threads of core soul energy, was essentially like making both hands draw a circle at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, the formation diagram sketched by his core soul energy was completed. Instantly, hundreds of insights appeared in Chen Fei’s mind. He couldn’t help but close his eyes and absorb each of these insights one by

one..
