C2 Spirit Arts

In the evening, Yang Junshan quietly came to the well beside the garden at the back of the house.

The edge of the well was made of bluestone, and the wheel was placed over the well. Looking at the bottom, Yang Junshan felt a chill down his spine, and his spirit, which had been weakened by the night, was immediately lifted.

This well was personally built by Yang Tian's family when they moved to the Tuqiu Village. At that time, Yang Tian had used his family's power to find a position in the village, and after they divided the property, Yang Tian had continuously built three wells in the field he was in for irrigation.

What Ling Yangtian didn't expect was that her luck gradually improved after splitting up the house. When he was about to take down the third well, a faint spiritual energy suddenly emitted from the well water!

This was incredible!

Even though the spiritual energy in this well was pitifully thin, as a spirit farmer, the value of this well was hard to measure.

The spirit farmers of the Tuqiu Village, who were originally quite hostile to Yang Tian because of the descent of a village, began a fierce gang fight against this spirit well.

With the help of his wife Han Xiumei, who had reached the fifth level of the Mortal Realm, and the two brothers from the Han Family, Yang Tian had spent half of his family's resources to obtain a top-grade magic tool, a snuffbox, and had broken two people's front teeth, four people's shoulder blades, five people's arms, and one person's thigh. That was how he had managed to intimidate the entire Tu Qiu Village, not only preserving the spirit well, but also protecting his reputation as the number one of the strongest experts in the Tu Qiu Village.

After that, Yang Tian had simply set up his home next to this spirit well to guard it day and night. This spirit well had already become the Yang family's home guarding treasure.

It was precisely because of this well water that Yang Tian's newly cultivated Spirit Valley was always able to collect three to five more dollars per mu compared to the other families. In three years' time, his days had slowly improved.

One year ago, Yang Junshan returned to his family in Chenyu County to participate in the aptitude test. With two spiritual cavities inside his body, he was ranked as a fourth-rate aptitude. This aptitude was not very good.

Xiantian talent was the first threshold for a cultivator to enter the cultivation world. Even though this threshold wasn't the decisive factor for a cultivator to reach the limit in his cultivation, it was still valued highly by others.

Generally speaking, there were only two kinds of innate talents, one was those who were born with spiritual cavities in their bodies that were able to absorb the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth into their bodies, and the other was those who had no spiritual cavities and could not cultivate on their own. Yang Junshan was lucky from this point, he had two spiritual cavities in his body that were able to cultivate.

However, those who were born with spiritual cavities would be classified into five grades according to the number of spiritual cavities in their body. A person could only have five spiritual cavities at most, and this kind of talent was definitely a first-rate one. Yang Junshan's fourth-rate talent was only slightly better than the lowest one with one spiritual cavities.

After a year of cultivation, Yang Junshan was barely able to capture the faint spiritual energy in the air and infuse it into his body. This was the first stage of the Mortal Realm: drawing spiritual energy.

At this moment, Yang Junshan was sitting on a rock beside the well, closing his eyes and chanting, feeling the two spiritual cavities in his body. According to the memories of his previous life, he tried to use a technique to capture the faint spiritual energy that was dissipating from the well to awaken the spiritual cavities. This was the second stage of the Mortal Realm: summoning celestial spiritual energy.

However, Yang Junshan was still far from advancing to Mortal Realm Stage 2. In fact, it would take a long time for him to reach the Mortal Realm Stage 2 by absorbing spiritual energy.

Thus, it was necessary to use celestial items to shorten the time needed for a cultivator to advance to the second level. This was also the reason why the name of the celestial spirit was called after the second level.

In the memories of his past life, after Yang Junshan was evaluated as a fourth-grade talent, he was unwilling to give up. After painstakingly practicing his archery for a year, he prepared to participate in the Hundred Sparrow Mountain Enclosure a year later, but unexpectedly, he almost died under the charge of a wild boar.

This time, Yang Junshan was not going to be as weak as he had been in his previous life. In fact, Yang Junshan had great plans for this trip.

Although there were only three days left, Yang Junshan still wanted to increase his strength as much as possible.

There were five stages in the Mortal Realm: the first layer, the second layer, the third layer, the fourth layer, and the Immortal Foundation. Although Yang Junshan had already cultivated the fifth layer for a year, he had only just reached the first layer of the Mortal Realm.

Legend has it that it was simplified by the True Art of the Heaven Shaking Sect, the Earth Shattering Treasure Art. He did not know if it was true or false, but this Spirit Art had been imparted to the other factions under the Sky Shaking Sect's jurisdiction in Yu County.

Because Yang Junshan was a direct descendant of the Yang Family in Qingshi Town, Chenyu County, although his cultivation talent was inferior, he could still teach the "Covering Earth Spirit Art". If he was a descendant of the Yang Family, he could only receive a lower grade of the "Covering Earth Art".

Yang Junshan had been taught by Yang Tian ever since he started cultivating the [Shrouding Ground Spirit Art]. Although Yang Junshan couldn't be considered diligent, he hadn't slacked off in the past year, but with his fourth grade talent, his cultivation progress was really slow, and he was only barely able to cultivate to the first stage.

In the process of cultivation, Xiantian talent was an important factor, but it was not a decisive factor. The future of a cultivator in the cultivation world depended on the comprehensive influence of many factors. Yang Junshan had experienced more than a hundred years in his past life, so he could make full use of it to further his future as compared to the world in his dreams.

However, what Yang Junshan was cultivating right now was not the Yang family's inherited cultivation technique, "Overlapping the Earth Spirit Method", but a cultivation technique that Yang Junshan had obtained from disciples of the Heaven Shaking Sect from the memories of his past life. Yang Junshan wanted to take advantage of the former's lack of cultivation and quickly replace it with the spiritual energy of the latter.

As long as one cultivated in a cultivation technique, their skills would not be comparable to spirit arts. On top of spirit arts, there was even the legendary treasure arts.

After cultivating the "Shrouding Earth Spell", he could also change it to the advanced "Shrouding Earth Spell", then he could change it to a higher level "Shrouding Earth Spell". This was one level higher than the "Wutu Earth Spell" that Yang Junshan was currently cultivating.

Although the? Earth Shrouding Spirit Art? passed down by the Yang family and the? Wutu Earth Spirit Art? cultivated by Yang Junshan were both inheritances of the Heaven Shaking Sect, they had nothing to do with each other.

On the ? Shrouding Earth Spirit Art ?, there was also the ? Shrouding Earth Treasure Art ?, which was the former's advanced cultivation technique, but it was also the secret of the Heaven Shaking Sect. The Yang Family couldn't obtain it no matter how many times they wanted it.

And according to the knowledge of the cultivator who passed down the "Wutu Spiritual Arts" to Yang Junshan in his previous life, the "Wutu Treasure Arts" was also above the "Wutu Spiritual Arts". Although the "Wutu Treasure Arts" was ranked below the "Earth Shattering Method" in the Heaven Shaking Sect, it was also a secret that was not passed down in the Heaven Shaking Sect.

The classification of cultivation techniques was based on the extreme level that one could cultivate to; however, depending on the cultivation speed and the degree of difficulty, a cultivation technique of the same grade could also be divided into different levels.

Take the ? Earth-Shattering Art ? and ? Wutu Treasure Art ? for example. Both of them belonged to the true inheritances of the Heaven Shaking Sect and were able to cultivate to the Mortal Realm. However, the former's cultivation speed was faster and her training process was easier, thus the former was ranked as a medium-grade treasure.

It could be said that the cultivation method of the Heaven Shaking Sect was one that was extremely difficult to cultivate. Therefore, in the Heaven Shaking Sect, almost no one was willing to practice this cultivation method, since it could only be considered a low-grade treasure.

However, Yang Junshan had learned from the disciples of the Heaven Shaking Sect who had passed on the "Earth Shaking Spirit Art" to him in his previous life that the advanced technique of the "Earth Shaking Spirit Art" was similar to a higher level cultivation art in the legends of the Heaven Shaking Sect, and this inheritance was the true inheritance of the Heaven Shaking Sect. Unfortunately, this higher level art had never been discovered in the Heaven Shaking Sect, which resulted in the lack of this inheritance, which was also the reason why very few disciples of the Heaven Shaking Sect were willing to cultivate the "Earth Shaking Art".

However, this technique had appeared when the Heaven Shaking Sect was destroyed. It was quickly shattered into pieces during the battle and eventually lost its legacy.

The night wind was blowing, Yang Junshan was working hard on the stone beside the well to circulate the [Wutu Earth Spirit Art]. After a year of cultivating, the tiny amount of spiritual energy stored in his body was slowly being assimilated by the new spiritual energy, and because he was cultivating a new spiritual art, the small amount of spiritual energy was reduced to half of its original amount.

Yang Junshan smiled bitterly to himself, this was the reason why the 'Wutu Spiritual Art' was not welcomed by others. A large amount of Spiritual Energy was concentrated, and the speed of cultivation was much slower compared to other Spiritual Arts. Since the training of a set of Spiritual Arts was so difficult, one could imagine how difficult it would be to cultivate this set of 'Wutu Treasured Technique', no wonder no one in the Heaven Shaking Sect would want to cultivate this set of Spiritual Arts.

However, Yang Junshan also quickly discovered that the spiritual energy was several times purer and purer than before. This meant that in the future, when he fought with the enemy, both sides would use the same magic. Yang Junshan was stronger than the enemy, and his own energy consumption might be less than the enemy's!

Of course, circulating the "Wutu Spiritual Art" would absorb Spiritual Energy very quickly. Yang Junshan estimated that the speed at which one absorbed Spiritual Energy from cultivating the "Wutu Spiritual Art" was at least a quarter faster than from cultivating the "Overlapping Earth Spiritual Art". However, after condensing the former, it was still not as fast as cultivating the latter.
