83: "Stargazing Secrets", "Night Battles in All Directions", Sudden Meeting

The next day, at noon.

Yang Dian, who had been up all night and all morning, finally put down the last booklet in his hand.

Rubbing his somewhat dry eyes, he wrote a series of words in his notebook.

Pill Name: Human Yuan Great Pill.

Ingredients needed for Alchemy: Placenta Hominis, ginseng, astragalus, yam, spikenard, polygala tenuifolia... Method of refining: Take an appropriate amount of medicinal materials, open the furnace for Alchemy on a Yang year, Yang month, Yang day, and Yang hour, refine with a low flame for forty-nine days, and when collecting the Medicinal Pill, supplement with the fingertip blood of the pill taker to form the Medicinal Pill... Medicinal Pill Efficacy: Greatly nourishes Qi and blood, treats brain diseases.

Energy required for completion: 97 energy.

Remarks: Feasible.

After writing down the two words [Feasible], Yang Dian threw his ballpoint pen and leaned back in his chair.

Looking at the dense notes in his notebook, Yang Dian let out a deep breath:

"It's finally sorted out."

Ordinary people might not be able to determine which of these more than 1,000 ancient texts and secret methods are real and which are fake.

But Yang Dian was different.

As long as he read them carefully once, he could activate his cheat and know how much energy was needed to fully Cultivate the ancient texts and secret methods.

If too much energy was required, it was basically because the logic was not self-consistent, or because his existing knowledge was insufficient to understand them.

For example, the [Immortal Arts], [Divine Ability], [Qimen Dunjia]... these legendary items in the pile of books, without exception, either required tens of thousands of energy to Cultivate.

Or he simply felt a bad premonition just by looking at them.

Yang Dian had encountered this feeling twice before.

Each time he encountered it, it meant that if he forced his cheat, the cheat would crash.

Therefore, [Immortal Arts], [Divine Ability], [Qimen Dunjia], and [Talismanic Incantation Secret Arts] were temporarily out of his reach.

"If I really want to learn Immortal Arts, Divine Ability, and Qimen Dunjia, I might have to first read and study Daoist classics."

"Otherwise, I won't understand the jargon and terminology, and relying solely on energy would really be a waste."

In his thoughts, Yang Dian put the 121 Immortal Cultivation Cultivation Technique, 3 Divine Ability secret methods, 13 Qimen Dunjia, 32 Talismanic Incantation secret arts, and 173 ancient foreign Cultivation Techniques back into the box.

He couldn't learn Immortal Arts, Divine Ability, and Qimen Dunjia because Yang Dian's foundation was insufficient, or some Immortal Arts and Divine Ability were simply made up by predecessors, and their logic was not self-consistent.

As for putting back the ancient Cultivation Techniques from other countries, it was entirely because of language barriers.

If he couldn't even understand them, how could he Cultivate?

"Perhaps I can discuss with the clan elders about handing over these foreign ancient Cultivation Techniques to the organization."

"Let the organization translate them, and once translated, just give us a translated version."

Rubbing his still sore and swollen head, Yang Dian took out his notebook again and began to filter.

He filtered out Martial Arts Mind-Cultivation Technique that could produce Qi and Internal Energy, and whose energy requirement for completion was below 5 points.

In short.

Yang Dian wanted to find simple Martial Arts Mind-Cultivation Technique to practice.

The less energy required for completion, the simpler it generally was.

No matter how slow one's mind was, as long as one was willing to practice, one could always get started.

After some filtering and picking, Yang Dian finally selected 5 Cultivation Technique.

Two health-preserving Cultivation Technique: Five Animal Frolics and Eight Section Brocade.

Three blood-refining Cultivation Technique: Gluttonous Eating Qi, Nourishing Yuan Skill, and Meridian Opening Art.

Among them, the introductions to Five Animal Frolics and Eight Section Brocade stated that if Cultivated to a deep level, one could prolong life and generate strength naturally.

Yang Dian didn't know if the Qi here referred to inner Qi or Qi and blood.

Anyway, for him, it wouldn't be difficult to Cultivate these five Cultivation Technique with a little effort.

Of course, this was only for him.

He could easily Cultivate these five Cultivation Technique only because he had already Cultivated two miraculous Cultivation Technique, Hun Yuan Strength and Heaven and Man Unity Skill, as well as the hard Cultivation Technique Iron Shirt.

What if ordinary people were to practice them?

Without sufficient dietary and medicinal supplements, it would be almost impossible to Cultivate Qi and blood through these five Cultivation Technique.

"But then again."

"Among the ancient texts given by the clan elders, there are several Pill Formula and medicated diets for replenishing Qi."

"Although a bit expensive."

"But if the clan spends a lot of money to buy medicinal materials for Alchemy and make medicated diets."

"Then it's not impossible for the clan members to sense, or even Cultivate, Qi and blood in a short period."

"It's just that the Qi and blood Cultivated this way might be somewhat superficial, and using it for combat might not be very reliable..."

Rubbing his temples with some distress, Yang Dian selected two more Cultivation Technique.

One was Eight Direction Blood Battle, and the other was Ten Thousand Battles Strategy.

As the names suggest.

The essence of these two Cultivation Technique was to sense and grasp Qi and blood through countless battles, in combat, and under life-threatening danger.

If one could Cultivate them, their combat power would undoubtedly be outstanding.

It's just that the Cultivation method was somewhat dangerous; one could easily be injured, disabled, or even die.

"These seven it is."

"I've already selected the Cultivation Technique, as for how the clan members choose..."

"Each person has their own destiny; I just need to explain the pros and cons to them."

"How they choose is their own business."

Standing up and stretching, Yang Dian then squatted down and pulled out a visualization technique and a sword technique from the ancient texts.

The visualization technique was Star Gazing Art.

It could strengthen Mental Energy by visualizing stars.

It only required 323 points of energy to Cultivate.

It wasn't the cheapest, nor the most expensive, but Yang Dian felt it was the most suitable for him.

The energy emitted by Dudu was starlight energy.

Under the nourishment of starlight energy, his Soul also began to emit starlight.

In this situation, Yang Dian subconsciously chose a visualization technique that matched his attributes.

As for the sword technique, it was called Night Battle in All Directions.

Night Battle in All Directions mainly focused on 'sensing', emphasizing rampant killing in a sensory-deprived environment.

This was the so-called sixth sense, knowing the autumn wind before the cicada stirs.

Of course, Yang Dian chose it mainly because it was cool!

Who wouldn't want a single sword strike to chill nineteen states, given that combat power could be guaranteed?

Yang Dian wanted to too.

He didn't want to be called a brute who only knew how to swing his fists, or only knew how to wield a spiked mace or hammer.

So he chose this sword technique, which looked high-class at a glance.

"It's just that learning Night Battle in All Directions is a bit difficult."

"It actually requires 2300 energy."

"It truly lives up to its reputation as a Divine Skill that, once Cultivated, allows one to know the autumn wind before the cicada stirs, with no danger hidden!"

Tapping the table, Yang Dian closed his notebook again.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a lighter and burned the notebook to ashes.

It was better not to leave such things that could expose his abilities and cheats in the world.

After flushing the burnt notebook into the sewer, Yang Dian was about to go back to bed for a nap when his rarely-used confidential phone suddenly made a sound.

Picking up the phone and glancing at it, Yang Dian raised his eyebrows before answering the call:

"Captain, what's up?"

Lin Mo's somewhat solemn voice came from the phone:

"The director is back from the capital, severely injured."

"He just said at the bureau that he wants to hold a meeting, and everyone in the bureau must attend."

"You need to come back..."
