169: Chapter 169 Protective True Qi

Su Yingxue followed his gaze.

Sure enough, the sales volume of the "Nine-Fold Guidance Technique" was astonishingly high.

The comment section was also full of praise.

Everyone said the Cultivation Technique was exquisite, with a cultivation speed far exceeding ordinary yellow-rank peak ones.

What surprised the two even more was that among the top ten Cultivation Techniques, apart from the first place, the authors of the third and seventh places were actually Wang Tianming as well.

Lin Yun clicked on Wang Tianming's personal homepage.

What caught his eyes was a dense list of copyright information—over a thousand entries.

And they were all yellow-rank peak, without a single Mysterious-rank Cultivation Technique.

"This guy is too shrewd."

Lin Yun couldn't help but exclaim.

"With his Fifth-Stage cultivation, creating Mysterious-rank Cultivation Techniques and Combat Techniques would be no problem at all, yet he insists on focusing only on creating yellow-rank peak ones."

"Clearly, he has seen through it; yellow-rank peak Cultivation Techniques have the widest audience."

"Freshmen and ordinary Martial Artists all need them, so the sales volume is the largest."

"Although the profit per unit isn't as high as Mysterious-rank, the sheer volume makes up for it, and he actually earns more overall."

Su Yingxue nodded, suddenly realizing:

"So that's how it is. No wonder his Cultivation Techniques can dominate the top of the leaderboard."

"Our 'Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method' is good, but it's not famous."

"Plus, you hid your information and have no endorsements; others don't know how powerful this Cultivation Technique is, so naturally, no one is willing to buy it."

"Indeed."

Lin Yun smiled helplessly and reached out to pinch Su Yingxue's cheek.

"Forget it, never mind. Anyway, when we handed it over, the authorities rewarded us with one billion, so we've already broken even."

"Thinking I could just lie back and collect money from this was too naive of me."

He lowered his head and kissed Su Yingxue, holding her tighter.

"Come, help me look and choose a defensive Combat Technique."

"A defensive Combat Technique?"

Su Yingxue's eyes lit up.

"That's right! Husband, you haven't cultivated any defensive Combat Techniques before. If you had one earlier, perhaps you could have killed a few more Ming Deer on the fifth floor of the Combat Power Tower and gotten a higher ranking!"

Lin Yun nodded and reopened the search interface, setting the filter criteria to "yellow-rank peak defensive Combat Technique."

The light screen popped up with dense results again.

The two browsed together, comparing them carefully.

"This 'Diamond Indestructible Body' seems very powerful, and the sales volume is high..."

"But it requires special medicinal baths to Cultivate; it's too troublesome."

"This 'Iron Shirt' is simple and direct, but it takes over three years to reach Major Achievement..."

"Too slow."

"This 'Protective Aura'..."

The two picked and chose for a long time until Lin Yun's gaze finally settled on one Combat Technique.

"True Qi Body Protection"

Copyright Author: Hidden

Price: 100 million

Introduction: Uses blood Qi to condense Protective Aura. Cultivating to Major Achievement can resist a full-strength blow from the same rank. It does not rely on external objects; the stronger the blood Qi, the stronger the defense. There is a follow-up Advanced Mysterious-rank Combat Technique: "Body-Protecting Profound Qi".

"This is good!" Su Yingxue's eyes lit up.

"It doesn't need to be combined with other things; it can be cultivated entirely by blood Qi! Husband, your blood Qi is so strong, it's most suitable for this!"

Lin Yun nodded; he had also taken a liking to this one.

It didn't rely on external objects, relied entirely on his own blood Qi, and had a follow-up Advanced version; it was practically tailored for him.

Although the price was at the highest tier of 100 million, but—

He clicked on the purchase page and entered his student ID information.

Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief, closed the light screen, and looked at Su Yingxue in his arms:

"Alright, for the next two days, I'll first reach the entry level for this Combat Technique."

Su Yingxue nodded and asked:

"Are you going to the school's Combat Technique Analysis Hall? I remember that using the Combat Technique analysis requires at least 100 credits each time."

"Husband, you have one thousand credits now, so you can only use it ten times."

Lin Yun brought up his personal panel.

[Current Credits: 2010]

Su Yingxue was taken aback: "2010? Isn't it 1005?"

Lin Yun smiled and explained:

"The school discussed it later. They said I am first on the freshman leaderboard and also made it onto the Genius Ranking; this situation has never happened before."

"They finally decided to give me the credits from both leaderboards."

"That is to say, for the next year, I can receive credits from both leaderboards until next year when the new students enroll and the freshman leaderboard is recalculated."

Su Yingxue's eyes sparkled:

"Doesn't that mean, Husband, you have over two thousand credits to use every month?"

Lin Yun nodded:

"Yes. So, going to the Combat Technique Analysis Hall to Cultivate is completely sufficient."

"However! No rush for now; I'll go after I Cultivate "True Qi Body Protection" to the entry level."

...

Two days later.

In the villa's cultivation room.

Lin Yun sat cross-legged, his body surrounded by a faint glow of blood Qi.

During these two days of cultivation, he poured all his energy into "True Qi Body Protection."

The cultivation principle of this Combat Technique is not complicated.

It involves drawing blood Qi out from the body and condensing it into a layer of invisible Protective Aura on the body surface.

The stronger the blood Qi, the more solid the Protective Aura, and the stronger the defense.

With Lin Yun's Second-Stage Perfection blood Qi intensity, plus the blessing of a hundred years of Martial Dao insights, his cultivation progress far exceeded ordinary people's imagination.

In two days, he reached the entry level!

Lin Yun opened his eyes and focused his mind.

Hum—

A layer of faint, almost transparent light shield appeared on his body surface.

Although it was still very thin and flickered in and out of existence, it was indeed the Protective Aura.

"It's done."

He nodded with satisfaction and dispersed the Protective Aura.

...

The next morning.

Combat Technique Analysis Hall.

Lin Yun had been here many times before when guiding Qiao Shiyu and Bai Lulu.

This time, he could finally try it himself and analyze his own Combat Technique.

Walking into the hall, he was met with rows of virtual terminals.

Lin Yun came to a terminal and swiped his student ID to log in.

[Lin Yun—Current Credits: 2010]

[Please select a service item:]

[1. Elementary Analysis Room (3 hours/100 credits)—Can analyze yellow-rank High Grade and below Combat Techniques]

[2. Intermediate Analysis Room (3 hours/200 credits)—Can analyze yellow-rank peak Combat Techniques]

[3. Advanced Analysis Room (3 hours/500 credits and up)—Can analyze Mysterious-rank and above Combat Techniques]

Lin Yun chose the second option without hesitation.

...

In the Intermediate Analysis Room.

Lin Yun stepped toward the central energy sensing platform.

A slight warmth came from under his feet; that was the sign of the platform starting up.

The induction patterns on the surrounding walls began to light up slowly, like a sleeping beast opening its eyes.

He stood still, closed his eyes, and adjusted his breathing.

Three seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes!

The blood Qi within his body roared into motion, following the cultivation route of "True Qi Body Protection," starting from the Dantian, flowing through the Meridians, and surging toward the body surface!

Hum—

A layer of faint, almost transparent Protective Aura appeared on his body surface.

At the same time, the light in mid-air flared brilliantly!

A huge virtual light shadow appeared out of thin air, enveloping Lin Yun entirely.

In the light shadow, countless fine data streams poured down like a waterfall, dense and dazzling.
