83: Chapter 83 Choosing a Cultivation Method

After leaving the second cabinet, Yun Song walked briskly toward the third cabinet.

His gaze wandered among the Jade Slips of Cultivation Techniques in the cabinet as he pondered his current needs.

He first picked up the Jade Slip recording the "Spirit Power Shield."

Thinking that this Cultivation Technique could form a Spirit Power shield to protect himself when facing danger, he determined in his heart that this was an essential defensive measure.

Without hesitation, he tucked it away.

Immediately after, the Jade Slip for the "Fireball Technique" caught his eye.

As a basic offensive Spell, the Fireball Technique's power was not top-tier, but it had the advantage of being fast to cast.

He did not hesitate in the slightest and took it in his hand.

"Dust Removal Technique."

Yun Song's lips curled up slightly. Although this Cultivation Technique seemed to have little use, it was extremely convenient in daily life.

Being able to keep himself clean at all times was not a bad choice.

"Earth Spike Technique."

This Cultivation Technique could summon earth spikes from underground to attack enemies, which might turn the tide of battle at a critical moment.

After picking these low-level Cultivation Techniques, Yun Song arrived in front of Steward Wang with great joy.

Seeing Yun Song holding a large pile of Jade Slips, Steward Wang could not help but show a look of astonishment, his eyes filled with surprise.

Yun Song looked puzzled and asked doubtfully, "Steward Wang, why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?"

Steward Wang finally came back to his senses and waved his hand.

"It's not a big mistake. Sit down first. Let me ask you, have you read the introductions for these Cultivation Techniques?"

Yun Song obediently sat down as instructed.

He placed all the Cultivation Techniques from his arms onto the table and replied, slightly shyly, "Disciple has read them and thinks they are all quite good."

Steward Wang nodded slightly and said earnestly, "Cultivation Techniques are divided according to Spiritual Root attributes to achieve the best results when you Cultivate."

"Most people will choose a few Cultivation Techniques that suit them. A situation where someone holds a large pile like you is truly unheard of."

Yun Song scratched his head. "So that's how it is. It was this Disciple's rashness."

As he spoke, he reached out to organize the messy Jade Slips on the table.

Chen Changsheng had approached at some point. He skillfully reached out and picked up a glowing Jade Slip from among those Yun Song had chosen.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, one eyebrow raised, and his face wore a look of teasing.

He said, "Yo, 'Turtle Breathing Technique'? This Cultivation Technique is actually quite interesting. It can actually conceal Qi, and it has no restrictions on Spiritual Root attributes. However..."

Speaking up to this point, he shook his head slightly. "Although this Cultivation Technique can conceal Qi, think about it carefully; in a truly intense battle,"

"this concealment effect is likely of little use."

"Once the opponent is determined to strike at you, concealing Qi is useless."

"Furthermore, if it is just to hide Qi, there are plenty of more convenient and efficient methods in the Immortal Realm, such as Magic Treasures."

"It is not worth spending time and energy to Cultivate such a Cultivation Technique; the cost-effectiveness is simply too low. So, in my opinion, the practicality of this Cultivation Technique is truly limited and of little use."

Upon hearing Chen Changsheng's evaluation of the "Turtle Breathing Technique," Yun Song had a different opinion in his heart.

He recalled several experiences of hiding from danger in caves; if he had a Cultivation Technique to conceal Qi, even if a Cultivator passed by the cave, he would not be discovered.

Chen Changsheng's words did not stir up much of a ripple in his heart.

He knew deeply that everyone's circumstances and considerations on the path to immortality were different. This Cultivation Technique might not be very useful to Chen Changsheng, but for himself, it could be a reliance to save his life at a critical moment.

Chen Changsheng picked up the "Wood Spirit Immortal Art" and looked at it.

With a gentle smile on his face and eyes full of concern, he said earnestly, "Junior Brother! In my opinion, this 'Wood Spirit Immortal Art' is also not suitable for you."

"Think about it, for us Cultivators, getting injured is inevitable during battles. But we have always relied on Medicinal Pills to heal, which is both convenient and efficient. Once a Medicinal Pill is taken and Spirit power is circulated for a few cycles, the injury can recover quickly."

He leaned forward slightly and said seriously, "Junior Brother, I truly feel that you should consider choosing more auxiliary offensive Cultivation Techniques."

"Like those Cultivation Techniques that can enhance Spell power or increase attack speed, they are very useful in actual combat."

"Only when your own attack power is strong enough can you gain a firm foothold in this cruel Immortal Realm. What do you think?"

The tone carried the concern of an older brother, fearing that Yun Song would take the wrong path.

After Steward Wang heard Chen Changsheng's evaluation of the Cultivation Techniques chosen by Yun Song, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

He shook his head slowly, clearly having a completely different opinion from Chen Changsheng.

He looked at Yun Song, then turned his gaze to Chen Changsheng and said slowly, "Nephew Chen, since young friend Yun has chosen this Cultivation Technique, it is his Opportunity."

"The path of cultivation emphasizes the word 'Opportunity,' and nothing can be forced. Think about it, there are so many Cultivation Techniques in that cabinet. Each one has its own uniqueness and does not exist by accident."

Steward Wang stroked his beard gently and continued, "Those great beings who could create Cultivation Techniques, which one of them has not undergone countless years of accumulation? They have an extremely profound understanding of the Laws of Heaven and Earth and the circulation of Spirit power, only then could they create a Cultivation Technique. They would never waste their efforts to create something useless for no reason."

"Although this 'Wood Spirit Immortal Art' is a healing Cultivation Technique, healing is also crucial on the path of cultivation. Although Medicinal Pills can heal injuries, sometimes in special situations—for example, when in a place with chaotic Spirit power, or when others are unconscious and Medicinal Pills cannot take effect, or when Medicinal Pills are exhausted—this 'Wood Spirit Immortal Art' might become the key to reversing the situation and saving a life."

"Furthermore, having one more unique Cultivation Technique on hand is always an extra layer of protection in this unpredictable Immortal Realm, wouldn't you agree?"

As Steward Wang was speaking, he seemed to suddenly recall something critical. With a gaze full of scrutiny and concern, he looked at Yun Song and asked, "Young friend Yun, what is your Spiritual Root?"

Yun Song replied calmly, "Steward Wang, this Junior has a Five-Element Spiritual Root."

Upon hearing this, Steward Wang was initially shocked, a flash of surprise appearing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

With a serious expression, he said, "Young friend Yun, although having a Five-Element Spiritual Root does not impose many restrictions on the choice of Cultivation Techniques and seems to provide a wider space for selection, it actually hides many difficulties."

"The path of cultivation is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you retreat. It is a race against time, and every moment is precious. If you choose too many Cultivation Techniques, it may seem like you are covering all bases, but in reality, your energy is scattered."

"Every Cultivation Technique requires a large amount of time and energy to study and Cultivate. If you are greedy for more, you may end up in a situation where you know everything but master nothing. Only by selecting the most suitable Cultivation Technique and Cultivating it to a profound Realm can you unleash powerful might at critical moments. Therefore, you must not be unrestrained just because the choice of Cultivation Techniques is not limited."
