Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, the hanging Qiao Zi Yi’s eyes suddenly brightened, “That’s quite reasonable, junior brother. I seem to have gained some enlightenment, now I’m excited to join you down there for cultivation.” With that said, he was about to climb down the rope back onto the rocky mountain.
Upon seeing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. Despite being a righteously impulsive person, this senior brother Qiao didn’t seem to have a personal stance when it came to the Wind Transformation Technique, as he completely relied on the realizations of others for his cultivation.
Lin Yi waved his hand mildly, advising, “Senior Brother Qiao, my realization is minimal. I recommend you to continue following your own cultivation plan.
Haphazardly adjusting your cultivation pace is a taboo.”
Upon hearing the advice, Qiao Zi Yi reversed his decision again, “You’re right, I should stabilize my pace and continue hanging for a few days to cultivate. If it’s useless, I will join you to experience the gentleness of the wind.” The other cultivators who had also prepared to follow immediately halted their movements.
The highest hanging cultivator, Senior Brother Ding, originally drifting with the wind with his eyes closed, couldn’t help but open his eyes seemingly having realized something but still didn’t change his method and continued hanging.
Lin Yi sat alone at the foot of the mountain. He slowly closed his eyes, initiated the Wind Law, apprehended the existence of wind, incited the internal power of Qi and blood to course through in the path of the Wind Transformation Technique, opened his pores on his body and tried to draw in the surrounding wind.
Even after being persistent for an hour, there was no effect. He took out a bottle of Liu Yun Ointment given by Elder Liu from the storage symbol, careful to avoid unnecessary attention from others while he used it.
This ointment radiated a refreshing aroma. From his poison-making knowledge, he could tell that it contained Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicine, albeit in a low proportion.
He removed his upper garment and evenly applied the ointment all over his body, feeling an instant refreshing sensation.
All the cultivators practicing the Wind Transformation Technique present to did not follow Elder Liu’s method mentioned in the pamphlet, of creating wounds on their bodies for cultivation.
Lin Yi had asked before and got a reply from Qiao Zi Yi that making cuts on the body could indeed let one feel the wind entering the wounds. However, aside from the pain, it was impossible to inhale even a trace of wind into the body.
Not surprising, applying the ointment made his feeling towards the wind clearer. It was not a cool sensation like that of the menthol on Earth, rather it made the circulation of the wind more perceptible.
Thus, he sat until late into the night without being able to draw in the wind or activate the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind. The cultivators hanging on the rocks didn’t leave either. Such perseverance was indeed astonishing.
Lin Yi stood up, greeted everyone and left. Despite failing in drawing the wind into his body after sitting for almost half a day, he had gained some enlightenment. However, those realizations weren’t enough to help initiation.
He decided to attempt another day tomorrow. If it still didn’t work, he would have to forcibly initiate using the effects of the three titles. Without initiation and activation of the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind, staying here and continuing cultivation would merely be a waste of time.
What he needed most now was time. Firstly, to create a talisman for Li Yuan
Qing; secondly, to improve his cultivation levels; and thirdly, to practice spells. He couldn’t afford to waste more time on the body refining techniques yielding no progress.
After his departure, one of the persisting cultivators couldn’t refrain from mocking, “Senior brothers, I reckon that this newly-joined junior brother will not last long, probably won’t see him after a few days.”
“Junior brother Lin, however, holds some unique views. Also, realizing the Wind Transformation Technique isn’t a matter of a short time. I believe he will persist.” Qiao Zi Yi contradicted.
“Let’s just wait and see then.” The cultivator did not wish to further argue, and resumed hanging in his contemplation.
The next morning, Lin Yi watered his Spiritual Field and weeded it early in the morning before heading off to Single Line Mountain. He contemplated for half the day but made no progress, so he left and, hurrying with Wind Law, came to the wilderness outside the Cloud Sect.
At this point, he was highly on the alert, his hand placed in his pocket clutching dozens of talisman templates, always ready for combat. Because here, far away from the Cloud Sect’s residence, there’s no safety at all.
Finally, as dusk approached, he found a secluded mountaintop. Although the wind speed was not as high as on the Outer Sect’s A-line Mountain, it was enough for practicing the Wind Transformation Technique. Most vitally, it was isolated with no human traffic and extremely safe.
Lin Yi memorized the location and then rushed back to the Outer Sect of Cloud Sect. He began to make preparations for outdoor cultivation. Despite having the effect of the title, he was unsure whether he could successfully initiate the Wind Transformation Technique.
After all, no one has ever initiated it for centuries, making evident the enormity of its difficulty.
Five days was the timeline he set for himself. If he couldn’t initiate and activate the Wind Transformation Technique within five days, then he would have to go slow. He couldn’t spend all his time on this.
Staying in the wilderness outside Cloud Sect for such a long time, he must ensure safety. If it were just him alone, it wouldn’t be a big deal. He could flee if losing a fight.
But for the upcoming training, he must take along Lady Yuan Yuan to activate the ‘Color is Void’ enlightenment effect and hence he must ensure her safety.
The Body Refining Techniques required long term perseverance before seeing any improvement. Therefore, even if activated now, it will not enhance his combat power immediately..
