Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 53 - 52: Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual, I’m Skilled at Defense

Chapter 53: Chapter 52: Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual, I’m Skilled at Defense

It’ll do!

Wei Fan and the other two exchanged glances and said nothing.

He took a deep breath and said, "I’ve cultivated the Glazed Treasure Body and the Celestial Spirit Burning Blood Saber from the True Qi Realm. Can I choose the subsequent heart methods for these two martial arts?"

He already planned to use the Hundred Rivers Skill for the True Qi martial arts.

If he could only choose two, he decided on the Glazed Treasure Body and the Celestial Spirit Burning Blood Saber, which he had cultivated before.

As for the Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger, he planned to exchange for it later using merit points.

"Of course you can!"

After giving a positive answer, He Wei couldn’t help but say, "You keep wasting my time, asking about the Golden Bell Shield one moment and the Supreme True Qi the next, but now you’re choosing Body Refining martial arts.

However, I must remind you that the Horizontal Training Realm and the Body Refining Realm are different. The Horizontal Training Realm can be cultivated independently.

But the Body Refining Realm requires various extreme divine objects to harness extreme power. If you don’t have these things, you can’t refine your body.

Right now, you don’t have any merit points to exchange for these items for cultivation, so your strength can’t be improved.

You’d better choose the heart method for acupoint opening, improve your strength, and then refine your body."

Wei Fan nodded. He was already aware of these things, and with his interface, he didn’t necessarily need extreme divine objects.

"Thanks for the reminder, but I’ve already obtained the Hundred Rivers Skill outside, so I didn’t choose the heart method for acupoint opening."

Upon hearing this, He Wei said no more and quickly brought over the Glazed Treasure Body of the Body Refining Realm and the Celestial Spirit Burning Blood Saber of the Acupoint Realm for Wei Fan.

With the secret manuals in hand, the three of them headed towards their residence.

According to the Reception Envoy’s introduction, there were about two to three thousand people in their Combat Battalion, but as they walked along the road, they barely saw anyone.

When they did occasionally encounter someone, that person would leave in a hurry.

"Once we start working, it’ll probably get very busy!"

Wei Fan was thinking when he suddenly heard Su Xuerong’s joyous voice: "Brother, you’re back?"

Wei Fan looked up to see a man leaning against a nearby courtyard wall, dressed in red.

Red-clothed Demon Suppression Guard!

The man’s face was handsome, his skin fair, and in his features, one could see a few similarities with Su Xuerong.

Su Xuerong ran over to him.

"His name is Su Guangwen, and he’s Xuerong’s older brother. You’d better be careful; any man trying to get close to Xuerong with ill intentions will get beaten up by him!"

Ning Xuan whispered in Wei Fan’s ear.

He and Su Xuerong weren’t actually a couple; their families had been friends for generations, so they had a good relationship, but it wasn’t that kind of relationship between a man and a woman.

"Sis-con!"

Wei Fan spat out the words, although he had no feelings for Su Xuerong.

Upon hearing this, Ning Xuan’s eyes lit up: "Oh... Sis-con? What a brilliant term!"

"What are you two mumbling about? Ning Xuan, won’t you even greet me when you see me?"

As Su Xuerong and Su Guangwen came over, Ning Xuan quickly greeted Su Guangwen and then introduced Wei Fan.

Su Xuerong said excitedly, "My brother said we’ve already been assigned to their squad, under the Demon Suppression Captain Shan Jinhong, and soon we’ll be on duty. He’s here now to collect our information to facilitate future task arrangements."

It was only then that Wei Fan noticed that Su Guangwen always held a booklet and a pen in his hand.

Although they had completed their admissions, none of their personal information had actually been reported. The Reception Envoy had handled all the procedures for them alone.

The group entered Ning Xuan’s courtyard and sat down. Su Guangwen spread the booklet open, and Wei Fan saw densely packed names, with annotations of cultivation levels and specialties behind them, except that the details after their three names were still blank!

Su Guangwen began to write, adding "Acupoint Opening First Layer, specializes in swordsmanship" behind Su Xuerong’s name.

He then added "Acupoint Opening First Layer, specializes in saber technique" behind Ning Xuan’s name.

"What about you?"

He looked at Wei Fan.

Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong also looked over.

Wei Fan pondered for a moment and then said, "I’m still in the True Qi Realm, so I’m skilled in defense."

His greatest skill was indeed the Golden Bell Shield, which was defensive.

Su Xuerong and Ning Xuan both remained silent; Wei Fan excelled in many things, like demon-slaying, combat, sword intent, horizontal training, finger technique. They thought he might mention one of these, but didn’t expect him to say he was skilled in defense.

Su Guangwen frowned a bit: "What’s the Reception Envoy up to? Though manpower is scarce, recruiting someone in the True Qi Realm to join the Combat Battalion is just sending them to their deaths."

He thought Wei Fan was at least an Acupoint Martial Artist, and his pen paused.

Su Xuerong couldn’t help but say, "Brother, Wei Fan is actually very strong; he’s slain a True Realm Demon Fiend."

Upon hearing this, Su Guangwen’s expression softened: "Ah right, I forgot you have to complete an assessment task to become part of the Combat Battalion, so it seems you’re a bit of a genius. But the demons in Su City aren’t the same as those in the countryside.

Anyone from the Demon Suppression Bureau’s Combat Battalion with a True Qi Ninth Layer can kill True Realm Demon Fiends in the countryside."

Countryside...

Oh brother, can you stop saying things!

Su Xuerong felt her eyelid twitching wildly.

She wasn’t one to gossip, so she wouldn’t boast about Wei Fan’s deeds, especially since the Reception Envoy had issued a gag order.

What Wei Fan killed wasn’t an ordinary True Realm Demon Fiend but a Fourth Grade True Realm Demon Fiend, and that Golden Bell of his flattened a den of bandits in one go.

Apart from the few notorious demons in the Demon Suppression Bureau, hardly anyone in the True Qi Realm had such achievements.

Su Guangwen looked at Wei Fan seriously and said with concern, "Defense is just a method of taking hits, but the Demon Suppression Bureau is about slaying demons. Just taking hits isn’t useful; offense is the best defense."

Having said that, he turned to Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong: "You two get ready, manpower is scarce now, and tasks have increased, so it’s likely in three to five days you’ll have assignments.

In the past, a master would lead you for a while, let you rack up some merit points to improve your strength, but now those benefits are gone.

But don’t worry, I’ll look out for you."

As Su Guangwen finally completed writing Wei Fan’s information, he avoided making any further references to the countryside.

Su Xuerong breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Xuan, on the other hand, hoped he would continue speaking, hoping Wei Fan would beat up this sis-con.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back now!"

With the information completed, Wei Fan returned to his courtyard.

He didn’t bother going around and directly leapt over the courtyard wall into his place.

[Hundred Rivers Skill (Uninitiated)]

[Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Golden Bell Shield (Entry Level)]

...

[Current Power Level: 882 years]

Didn’t expect that after waiting and waiting, it would still be the Hundred Rivers Skill to cultivate.

But once he had enough merit points, he would exchange for the Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual; for now, he would use the Hundred Rivers Skill to break into acupoint opening.

"Use a hundred years of power to add to the Hundred Rivers Skill!"

He directly used a hundred years of power, knowing it wouldn’t be wasted.

After acquiring the Hundred Rivers Skill, his understanding of cultivating in the Acupoint Realm became clear.

The True Qi that a dantian can hold has its limits, and when the dantian can no longer hold True Qi, the only way to get stronger is to allow the body to hold more True Qi.

Thus pioneers developed the method of acupoint opening, creating new acupoints to hold more True Qi, letting power continue to increase.

Generally, one acupoint can hold one-tenth of the True Qi that a dantian can.

So if your dantian can hold ten years of power, the acupoint you open can only hold one year of power.

If the dantian holds twenty years of power, the opened acupoint can hold two years of power.

Wei Fan’s dantian could hold a hundred years of power, so each acupoint he opened afterward could hold ten years of power.

This is why most people use the dantian’s capacity to gauge talent, which is why Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong continually advised him not to break into acupoint opening before his dantian reached its limit.

The difference in the Acupoint Realm could be enormous, with each acupoint adding three or four years of power for some, up to five or six, even seven or eight years for prodigies, while those with poor talent might only add about a year.

"In the True Qi Realm, my dantian holds a hundred years of power. After acupoint opening, one acupoint adds ten years of power.

Across the entire Acupoint Realm, I’d need to open 360 acupoints, meaning that when the Acupoint Realm cultivation concludes, my power can reach 3,600 years.

Oh no, plus the dantian’s hundred years, that’s 3,700 years!"

Hiss!

Even Wei Fan was startled by the figure; 3,700 years of power—he couldn’t even imagine how terrifying that would be.

Using the dantian’s capacity to measure a person’s talent really made sense.

At such a level, whether martial technique was perfect or great success wouldn’t matter; merely having the martial technique at the entry level, the overwhelming power alone would crush and suppress everything.

Of course, the required power would also be terrifying, and with 3,600 years of power, how many demons would he have to slaughter?

Without his interface, he likely wouldn’t manage to fully cultivate the Acupoint Realm throughout his life.

An investment of a hundred years of power at once is not excessive at all!
