Chapter 69: Chapter 58: Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind 1
Translator: 549690339
When Lin Yi arrived at the Outer Sect Law Hall, as expected, the entrance which was previously crowded was sparse with only two or three people; the area was back to its peaceful state.
Gathering Merit Points was extremely arduous for Outer Sect Disciples. It was similar to a Spirit Farmer who had to rent ten acres of land and cultivate for two years to exchange for one Cultivation Technique or Spell. Even if there were tens of thousands of Outer Sect Disciples, only a handful came to exchange for techniques each day.
Lin Yi waited in line outside the hall. After the two people in front of him finished, he walked inside to find an elderly man with brilliant white hair, leaning his chin on his hand and half-resting on the table, seemingly dozing off.
“Greetings, Elder.” He presented his Identity Token with both hands. This Token contained recorded information including his Merit Points.
Despite being the Outer Sect Law Hall, the one responsible for passing down the Cultivation Techniques was still a Foundation Building cultivator.
Taking Lin Yi’s Identity Token, the Elder running the Law Hall gently swiped it on a Jade Mirror nearby. Instantaneously, it displayed simple information of the holder and their Merit Points data.
Seeing this, Lin Yi was somewhat amazed. Previously, when Li Yuan Qing mentioned that the Sect Affairs Hall automatically credited and logged Merit Points, he was slightly confused. Did the Cultivation World also have an interconnected network like Earth?
Upon seeing the mirror and the pattern underneath it that was similar to a small Formation, all potential possibilities filled his head. Even the cattle in the Cultivation World could become demons capable of flying, and Spiritual Artifacts had intelligence. Transmitting information via Formations was also normal.
When he saw the Merit Points, the dozy Sect Law Hall Elder suddenly became fully alert. Rubbing his eyes, he found that it was the real deal. Without being able to suppress his enthusiasm, he asked, “Which Cultivation Technique would you like to exchange?”
Noticing his enthusiastic demeanor, Lin Yi became cautious on the inside, saying with a fist salute, “Elder, this disciple would like to exchange for a Body Refining Technique. Could you perhaps offer a recommendation or two?”
“Body Refining Techniques? It is a bit early for you, a Qi Refinement Level Four cultivator. But since you have the merit points, I don’t have authority to intervene. Do you have any specific requirements for the Cultivation Technique?” The elder looked at Lin Yi with a shake of his head, and then asked.
Nowadays, cultivators at the Qi Refinement Realm were getting more and more ambitious. Before they even embarked on the proper path of Cultivation, they already wanted to refine their bodies. However, a smile formed on the corner of his mouth. He thought of an impressive technique that he could potentially pass on to this lad.
“If this technique could also include speed, all the better.” Lin Yi pondered a bit before responding. In front of high-level cultivators, no matter how strong or fast one is, it’s always safer to run away.
However, he was just trying his luck, to see if there was a Body Refining
Technique that also incorporated speed. There might be a pleasant surprise.
Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, the Elder’s face moved, and his smile thickened. “Oh, you want speed as well? I indeed have a great Cultivation Technique called the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind. It’s one of the Body Refining Techniques created by our Liu Yun Sect’s Ancestor, which draws wind into the body to refine it.”
“After reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, you can learn the Nine Transformations of Liu Yun. Combined, you will reach the realm of transforming your body into the wind. Wind symbolizes speed and carries immense destructive power. It will definitely meet your demands.”
The name of Ancestor Liu Yun, along with the Technique of Transforming
Cloud into Wind, made this all seem rather questionable. Lin Yi responded, “Um, Elder, surely a technique created by Ancestor Liu Yun isn’t something an Outer Sect Disciple can learn? Besides, this disciple’s aptitude is limited. Perhaps we should switch to another technique?”
From what Lin Yi remembered, Liu Yun Sect’s Founding Ancestor only created the Nine Transformations of Liu Yun, a Feather Weight Magic. Expertly cultivated, it would enable one to float indeterminately and transform unpredictably. It was a famous Feather Weight Magic within Heng Yuan
Cultivation World. There weren’t any other Cultivation Techniques beyond this.
“Oh, you’re saying you have limited aptitude? Then, which attribute is mainly present in your Spiritual Root?” The Elder running the Law Hall immediately asked.
“I have lower-grade spiritual roots, mainly of the wood attribute.” Lin Yi stated his spiritual root properties. In this Cultivation World, there isn’t a concept of having one specific spiritual root, everyone has all five elements, with the distinction being the main attribute and quality of their spiritual roots.
Of course, there are also derived attributes outside of the five elements, but they are extremely rare.
The Elder of the Scripture Palace’s eyes brightened again, and he said with a smile,”The primary element is wood, as the saying goes, ‘wood births wind.’ Your cultivation of the Wind Transformation Technique will surely be twice as effective.” As he spoke, he even fanned himself a few times with a fan.
“Elder, I am slow-witted. I think I should choose a different one.” Lin Yi became even more cautious. This elder’s eyes brightened when he saw his merit points. Such unsolicited favor fell into the categories of either ‘deceitful’ or ‘thieving’.
The Elder of the Scripture Palace shook his head, “As an elder of the Scripture
Palace, why would I deceive you? This Technique of Transforming Cloud into
Wind really suits you…”
Just then, a middle-aged man in bamboo-colored attire leisurely walked in. Hearing the Elder of the Scripture Palace’s words, he couldn’t help but chuckle,
“Elder Liu, you’re tricking new disciples into learning the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind again, aren’t you?”
“Junior Brother Han, don’t talk nonsense. How is this deception? The
Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind was personally created by the Ancestor Liu Yun. I have always thought that like the Nine Transformations of Liu Yun, it is also exceptional. Combined together, they can create miracles,” the Scripture Palace Elder retorted earnestly.
Lin Yi also noticed the jade slip pattern on the bamboo-coloured clothes of the middle-aged man, which was the emblem of the Scripture Palace. He promptly made a fist and saluted, “Disciple has seen Elder Han. I seem to have never heard of this Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind. Could you possibly delay some of your time to give a brief explanation to this disciple?”
Indeed, if it was truly created by Ancestor Liu Yun, it would be worth cultivating. After all, the featherweight magic of the Nine Transformations of Liu Yun is famous throughout the Heng Yuan Cultivation World. However, one needs to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage to cultivate such a spell, which was said to also require a frightening amount of merit points.
Elder Han laughed, and began to speak, “Indeed, this body refining technique was created by Ancestor Liu Yun. After he had mastered the Nine
Transformations of Liu Yun technique, he found that it was insufficient, so he created this body refining technique to complement the Nine Transformations of Liu Yun, bringing out even greater strength.”
“However, he disappeared unexpectedly while exploring a secret realm before he could succeed in cultivating it himself, leaving behind only the Scripture Jade Slip of this technique.”
At this point, he shook his head, “Over the centuries, although many have attempted to cultivate it, very few have succeeded. As a result, it gradually fell into oblivion and was brought by Elder Liu to the Outer Sect Law Hall. He respects the Ancestor greatly and thinks this technique is also quite extraordinary, therefore, he continuously finds Outer Sect Disciples to experiment.”
“What do you mean ‘experiment’? I am clearly thinking for the sake of Outer
Sect Disciples and helping them to get in touch with the techniques created by the Ancestor,” Elder Liu retorted slightly displeased.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but be tempted. Ancestor Liu Yun could create the powerful featherweight magic of the Nine Transformations of Liu Yun, so it would also make sense for him to create a body refining technique. Moreover, he has a title panel. Once he learns it, it would appear on the panel. Perhaps this could be an opportunity.
After considering it, he hesitated and asked, “Elder Liu, how many merit points are needed for this body refining technique?”
“Only two hundred points. After all, this is a cultivation technique created by the Ancestor. But seeing as your main element is wood, I will give it to you for one hundred and fifty points,” Elder Liu’s face instantly revealed a smile as he said this.
“Elder Liu, there’s finally a disciple who wants to learn it and you’re still raising the price so much,” Elder Han joked, and then reminded Lin Yi, “This cultivation technique is not listed in the Outer Sect Law Hall catalogue. Elder Liu sets the price himself.”
Elder Liu looked at Elder Han somewhat helplessly, then waved his hand and said, “Forget it, one hundred points. This is the lowest price. If an Outer Sect Disciple can’t even earn a hundred merit points, he doesn’t deserve to cultivate this technique..”
