C22 Cultivation Methods and Formations
The teacher was sitting on a stone bench in the grass pavilion. He smiled and waved at Yuh Han. "Come here quickly. I have solved another dead game after the one I solved the other day. This time, I want to see if you can solve it. If you can, I will reward you handsomely."
Yuh Han smiled bitterly and shook his head. He came to the teacher's side and looked at the chessboard.
His thoughts flew around. This chess game was not simple at all. Although the teacher was a little "naive" when it came to chess, it had to be said that the arrangement of this chess game was quite interesting.
"How is it? Do you find it hard? I have studied this game for three days and three nights. Isn't it amazing?" The teacher chuckled.
"Isn't it hard?" As the teacher spoke, he picked up a piece under the teacher's surprised gaze and placed it on the chessboard.
One move to decide the world!
The key to this chess game laid in the first move. Once the first move was placed, the game would immediately change.
He threw the piece in his hand onto the chessboard in annoyance and muttered in frustration, "I don't want to play anymore. You are a monster!"
Yuh Han smiled helplessly and said, "Senior, you promised to reward me handsomely!"
The teacher glared at him and smiled. "As long as you promise to teach me a few difficult pieces, I will reward you handsomely!"
"No problem!" Yuh Han's fingertips moved, and the chess pieces in his hands continuously revolved. A broken game appeared in his hands and landed on the chessboard.
Looking at the chessboard that was quickly forming a game, the elder's eyes lit up. He looked at Yuh Han and said, "Tell me, what do you want. As long as I have it, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
When he looked at Yuh Han, his eyes were filled with anticipation.
Yuh Han took a deep breath and bowed, "I came here this time to ask for a cultivation technique from Senior. Please grant me my wish."
The elder waved his hand and said, "Come with me."
Yuh Han followed behind him and passed through the dark green corridor. Finally, he arrived in front of the elder's small house.
Yuh Han looked at the small house. The size of the house was not even a thousandth of the size of the Sword Pavilion. It was hard to imagine how many cultivation techniques there were in this place.
The elder seemed to have sensed Yuh Han's thoughts. He chuckled and stood at the door of the small house. The light in his palm flickered, and a light pattern spread out.
"Eh?" Yuh Han couldn't help but frown. The light patterns quickly spread in all directions, and it seemed to follow a special trajectory.
Before he could understand the key, a door of light suddenly appeared in front of him, covering the door of the small house.
The elder's eyes flickered as he looked at the thoughtful Yuh Han. He said, "In fact, the path of cultivation is not only about cultivation techniques and divine abilities. There is also a kind of divine technique called array formation!"
"Formation?" Yuh Han glanced at the elder. This word was not unfamiliar to him. His father had also told him about it before.
No wonder the elder knew that he was here before he entered the door. It seemed that the reason was not that the elder's cultivation was profound, but that he was an array master.
When the wooden door opened, he felt a special fluctuation. It was probably not wrong!
He also knew that array formations were indeed a very powerful method, and it did not require true qi to activate. It was just that it was very difficult to cultivate.
"Brat Yuh Han, your chess skills are so powerful. It can be seen that your mind is very meticulous, and you also have a strong ability to set up. If you cultivate in the path of array formations, you will definitely have extraordinary achievements!" The elder said with a smile.
Yuh Han thought for a moment. His father had once said that it was very difficult to become an array master, and it was even a thousand times harder than condensing a Martial Spirit. And now, he probably did not have the time and energy to be involved in too much.
He immediately said, "I don't think I have that much time!"
The elder continued, "Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time. How about this, you think about it first. I'll take you to choose a cultivation technique!"
After saying that, he stepped into the light door first.
Yuh Han's eyes flickered as he followed closely behind.
"Phew —" After entering the light door, Yuh Han took in a cold breath, and a deep shock could not help but surge into his eyes.
"This is … a space?" He could not believe that the outside was just a small house. However, when he entered, it was as if he had entered an ancient castle.
There were wooden shelves in front of him, and on them were cultivation technique jade slips that were flickering with a weak spiritual light.
"This is the formation I constructed. It's powerful, right? I can guarantee that if I put in the effort to teach you, you will learn diligently. Your progress will definitely be faster than I imagined!" The teaching elder patiently guided.
Yuh Han did not answer, but his gaze fell on the countless cultivation technique jade slips in front of him.
The teaching elder originally did not hear Yuh Han's answer, thinking that he was hesitating or considering. However, in the next moment, Yuh Han had already walked forward, and his gaze was immersed in the cultivation technique jade slips, as if he had forgotten about himself.
His face could not help but turn green and white. As the chief formation master of the Martial Teaching Hall, he was almost the pillar of the entire Martial Teaching Hall.
His position in the Martial Teaching Hall was even more extraordinary, because there were too few formation masters. Especially those who could reach his level were extremely rare.
He believed that if he proposed to teach disciples.
The entrance of this small courtyard would definitely be trampled by countless disciples of the Martial Teaching Hall. However, this brat in front of him had actually rejected him so bluntly.
The teaching elder suddenly felt that he had failed.
However, Yuh Han acted as if he did not hear it. As he moved, the aura of the cultivation technique jade slips appeared in front of him.
"Is there any higher level ones?" Yuh Han muttered to himself. The cultivation techniques here were basically all Human Rank. Although there were quite a few high-grade ones, they were obviously not enough for him to quickly increase his strength.
The teaching elder gritted his teeth and said, "You are quite greedy. Since I have already promised you, I can't go back on my word. Come with me."
Yuh Han followed the teaching elder and walked towards a corner.
There was a black wooden square table with seven jade boxes placed side by side on it. A strange light was flowing on them.
"Earth-ranked cultivation technique?" Yuh Han's eyes lit up.
"The seven sets of Earth-ranked cultivation techniques were passed down by the seniors of the Martial Teaching Hall. You are really lucky!" The teaching elder was obviously unwilling.
Yuh Han hurriedly turned around and bowed to the teaching elder, "Thank you, Senior."
After saying that, his gaze swept across the seven jade boxes.
Darknorth Force, Low-grade Earth Rank!
Ice Spirit Qi, Low-grade Earth Rank!
Fire Asura, Low-grade Earth Rank!
Yang Guan Threefold, Low-grade Earth Rank!
Floating Wave Technique, Low-grade Earth Rank!
Jade Codex, Low-grade Earth Rank!
Ancient Force of the Heavens, Middle-grade Earth Rank!
Yuh Han took a deep breath. He actually had a set of Middle-grade Earth Rank cultivation techniques.
His palm moved slightly, and he was about to place the set of Middle-grade Earth Rank cultivation techniques on the table.
At this moment, a hint of disappointment appeared in the teaching elder's eyes!
Suddenly, just as Yuh Han's palm was about to touch the Celestial Ancient Strength, he suddenly noticed a simple wooden box behind the seven jade boxes.
Because the wooden box was dark, his gaze was attracted by the seven sets of Earth-ranked cultivation techniques, and he did not notice it.
What was even more strange was that the moment he noticed the wooden box, his dantian trembled slightly.
"The Celestial Ancient Strength is the best cultivation technique in the entire Martial Teaching Hall. Our current hall master cultivates this cultivation technique. Since you can choose it, you can be considered..."
The teaching elder's words came to an abrupt end because he had actually caught the old wooden box in his hand.
The wooden box opened, and a cultivation technique jade slip was lying inside.
Unlike the other cultivation technique jade slips, this jade slip was black, and it was shining with a weak light.
"The Great Cosmos Art. The name is not bad, but the grade..."
Yuh Han was startled. Could it be that he had chosen the wrong one? Or was his perception wrong?
"Human Rank!"
"Low grade?"
"Impossible!" Yuh Han did not believe that his perception would have a problem, because in his perception, other than the fluctuations in his dantian, there was also the picky senses brought by the Unparalleled Sword Intent.
So his gaze once again fell on the Great Cosmos Art!
"It shouldn't be that easy. This cultivation technique definitely isn't as simple as a low grade Human Rank!" Yuh Han thought to himself.
"It's just a low-level Human Rank. How about this, on the account of that incomplete situation outside, I will allow you to choose again!" The voice of the teacher came.
The dark cultivation technique jade slip in his palm suddenly felt a cold feeling. The newly born dantian seemed to have met an old friend that it had been for many years, and it started to tremble.
Yuh Han squinted his eyes, "No need, I want this one!"
The teacher looked at Yuh Han's determined gaze and his eyes could not help but flash. He said to himself in a voice that only he could hear, "He actually chose this cultivation technique. Could it be the will of the heavens?"
At this moment, Yuh Han had already sat down cross-legged.
The cultivation technique jade slip could not be taken out, so he could only cultivate here.
Or he could forcefully remember it.
Obviously, Yuh Han wanted to cultivate here. The urgent feeling in his dantian made him look forward to it. What was so special about this cultivation technique that was rated as a low-level Human Rank?
"The Everlasting is Tai Chi, Tai Chi is Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang is the universe. The universe and the living beings are impermanent, and the universe is the technique, and the power of Yin and Yang is the technique..."
The teacher waved his hand lightly, and the surrounding space immediately dissipated. The two of them were pulled out of the void and returned to the small courtyard.
Yuh Han sat on the stone ground in the grass pavilion. The dark jade slip was still in his palm, and he had already entered a state of cultivation.
The teaching elder had never been this serious before. He looked at Yuh Han with anticipation in his eyes.
The small grass Martial Spirit on top of Yuh Han's head slowly floated up. Its fragile stem swayed with the wind, and an endless sharpness poured down into his body.
At the same time, the golden pattern on his dantian seemed to turn into a vortex that crazily absorbed the surrounding Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
"What a terrifying absorption ability! But this cultivation method doesn't seem to be that easy!"
The moment the teaching elder finished speaking, Yuh Han, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly started trembling violently.
The black jade slip in his palm suddenly turned into a black light and entered his body!
