Chapter 9 Talent, Not Here
Qingfeng was very clear about his past and present lives.
If he hadn't awakened to his true potential earlier, he might have already been led astray by Steward Ding.
Dual cultivation techniques are nothing new in the mortal world.
The Hehuan Sect, Yanyue Sect, and Luanming Sect in Tiannan are all sects that primarily practice dual cultivation techniques.
On the chaotic sea of stars, the Six Paths Supreme Saint also has his own dual cultivation system.
The "Dragon-Drawing Technique" in Qingfeng's possession is actually divided into two parts: Yin and Yang.
The Yang part consists of cultivators who absorb magical power and cultivation from those who cultivate Yin.
The Yin aspect refers to cultivators who cultivate their magical power faster than those using ordinary techniques.
However, the problems with both are very obvious: their magical power is weak and their foundation is unstable.
If we take Han Li as a reference, the total amount of spiritual power in Han Li's body after cultivating the "Three Revolutions Rejuvenation Technique" is more than twice that of the "Dragon-Attracting Technique".
"Something's not right with this cultivation manual; it seems incomplete."
Qingfeng frowned as he flipped through the book "Dragon Summoning Technique" in his hand.
This cultivation manual is full of traps and pitfalls.
"If a man practices this technique, where would he lead the dragon? Isn't that ridiculous?"
He suddenly remembered a place from his previous life, the Sichuan region.
"Cultivating this thing really works for both men and women. And this technique clearly has a backdoor."
If you encounter a cultivator with higher authority than you, you will be drained of their power.
Qingfeng fell into deep thought.
He has been in seclusion in the backyard of the shop at Qingyang Gate for three days.
After collecting the spirit stones from several shops, he had more than 20,000 spirit stones.
[Spirit Stones Remaining: 26000]
"If things go according to Steward Ding's script, after I cultivate this technique, I will go around harming female cultivators, and eventually trick Yanli into becoming my cultivation vessel, only to be poisoned by Yuan Yao."
Looking at the trap in his hand, Qingfeng had an idea.
"Dark green cheat code, pay-to-win!"
[Green Recharge Modifier: Get stronger as long as you spend money.]
Function 1: Deducing/integrating martial arts techniques.
Function 2: Refining/Fusing Magical Artifacts/Magic Treasures.
Function 3: Accelerate the ripening of spiritual herbs/plants.
Note: Money really can buy you anything.
"Open, Function 1: Deducing/Merging Techniques."
Select function 1 for Qingfeng.

(？+？+？=?)
Note: Fees will be charged based on factors such as the rarity and difficulty of the skill.
[Note: The Qingyang Sword Technique has reached a state of perfection; the cost of fusing techniques is reduced.]
Upon seeing the notification, Qingfeng stroked his chin.
"First, recharge 9000 spirit stones to deduce the True Transmission: Azure Sun Thunderfire Technique for 3 years."
[The cultivation technique deduction begins... Year 1... Year 2...]
In the third year, you thoroughly memorized the second level of the Foundation Establishment chapter of the "True Transmission: Azure Sun Thunderfire Technique," and even grasped a trace of the realm of thunder and fire, but you were limited by your magical power and could only proceed to this point.
As the deduction was completed, a faint understanding entered his mind.
"Huh? That's it? What happened to my 9000 spirit stones?"
Feeling a sliver of insight into the "True Transmission: Qingyang Thunderfire Technique," Qingfeng felt he had suffered a huge loss.
It should be noted that he only spent 2500 spirit stones to deduce the "Qingyang Sword Technique," and he had already reached a state of extraordinary skill.
"It seems that the more advanced the technique, the more it costs. It's difficult to make a breakthrough without at least ten years of dedicated practice."
Qingfeng shook his head.
The family's "True Transmission: Azure Sun Thunderfire Technique" was his father's main cultivation method.
His father, Master Sanyang, had a mutated lightning spiritual root, while he himself had a fire spiritual root.
Following his father's path is clearly not a good idea.
"Which cultivation technique at the Nascent Soul level doesn't require time to hone?"
After Han Li condensed his Nascent Soul, he also went into seclusion for several years to comprehend the Profound Yin Technique of the Profound Bone.
My family's unique skill is no less powerful than the "Mysterious Yin Manual." It would probably take ten years of practice to see significant results.
Qingfeng looked at the remaining spirit stones; there were still 17000 spirit stones left.
It is clearly not worthwhile to continue to deduce the "True Transmission: Qingyang Thunderfire Technique".
The shops on Kui Xing Island are out of spirit stones. If he wants to get more, he needs to go to shops on other islands.
"There are still one or two years until the Kui Xing Island incident."
At most, it will take no more than three years. If one focuses solely on mastering their family's traditional cultivation techniques, they might only reach the early stage of Core Formation.
"We're short on spirit stones right now, is there a faster way?"
Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then looked at the "Dragon-Attracting Technique".
This demonic cultivation technique has many drawbacks, but its improvement speed is extremely fast.
With the help of Yanli and Yuanyao, he could break through to the early stage of Core Formation within a year.
"Let's test the waters with a 10-year simulation first, the 'Dragon Summoning Technique' simulation..."
In the end, Qingfeng still chose the original route, taking the shortcut.
[Spirit Stones 17000 - 5000 = 12000]
[The cultivation technique deduction begins...]
In the first year, you mastered all the mental techniques and incantations of the "Dragon-Summoning Technique" and memorized them...
The following year, you seemed... to be a natural fit for this technique.
In the third year, you were able to simultaneously control the circulation of Yin and Yang energies within your body...
In your fourth year, you begin to delve deeper into those "traps" and "backdoors"...
In the fifth year, you begin to realize that this cultivation method was originally a grand path of yin and yang harmony and the mutual generation of magical power, rather than an evil path of cunning and plunder...
In the sixth year, you comprehended the profound principle of "Yin-Yang transformation and the convergence of dragon and tiger." However, this technique has been crudely misinterpreted.
In the seventh year, you gained a new understanding...
In the eighth year, you began to refine this technique...
In the ninth year, you vaguely touched a threshold. Since the Yin and Yang in your body can be balanced and coexist, what about cooperating with another Daoist partner who also cultivates this improved technique?
In the tenth year, you created a unique secret technique combining Yin and Yang energies, and incorporated a trace of thunder and fire power.
When activated, one person controls the Yang Fire Thunder Dragon, primarily for offense, while the other controls the Yin Water Spirit Dragon, primarily for defense.
Yin and Yang alternate, offense and defense are integrated.
You named it "Fire Dragon and Water Flood Dragon Technique".
Deduction complete—
Then, a vast and profound torrent of insights surged into Qingfeng's sea of consciousness.
Holy crap!
Qingfeng felt as if his head was about to explode.
Within the sea of consciousness, perception and integration.
He acquired a brand-new cultivation technique, "Fire Dragon and Water Flood Dragon Technique".
The cultivation speed is 80% faster than the "Dragon Summoning Technique", the purity of the magic power is three times that of the original, the foundation is solid, and there are no hidden dangers.
"5000 spirit stones for a more powerful dual cultivation technique? What a bargain!"
Qingfeng let out a long breath, opened his eyes, and the smile on his lips almost reached his ears.
"With this technique, why would I even bother cultivating the 'True Transmission: Azure Sun Thunderfire Technique'?"
Qingfeng felt that his father's cultivation method might not be suitable for him, and he only gained a sliver of insight after spending 9 spirit stones.
His talent clearly lies in his color spiritual root, no, it lies in his fire spiritual root.
"Let's save the family's martial arts techniques for later."
Qingfeng glanced at the remaining spirit stones and prepared to try out other functions.
