“Lu Huanxiu’s legs are broken and he fell unconscious. This is a good opportunity.”
Han Zhao pondered as he went upstairs.
“Steady. Go back and simulate it.”
A moment later, he made a decision and went up to the third floor.
At the entrance of the stairs, a white-haired old man was sitting behind a bench, concentrating on the chess manual in his hand.
From the other party’s blood qi perception, he should be at the third Blood Qi Breakthrough.
However, the other party’s heartbeat was strong and powerful. There was a higher chance that he was a Force Tempering Martial Master when he was young. Now that he was old, his blood qi had declined to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough.
Otherwise, ordinary three-blooded martial artists would not be in such a good state at his age.
Han Zhao stopped in front of the table. Before he could speak, the old man waved at the cabinet inside.
“The cultivation methods on the third floor are all free. The first two levels of all the entry-level cultivation methods are here.”
“Whichever one you like, take it to the side and copy it. Just remember not to spread it.”
“The subsequent cultivation techniques are all on the fourth floor. You need money or merit points to exchange for them. Similarly, they are not allowed to be taught to outsiders.”
“In addition, the court heads of the various courtyards will personally guide the martial arts after grasping Internal Force.”
The old man did not even turn his head. His words were precise and unhurried.
It was obvious that he had said it countless times.
“Thank you.” Han Zhao cupped his fists and walked towards the cabinet at the back.
It was similar to a library in his previous life. There were even labels on the rows of cabinets.
Saber, spear, sword, halberd, staff, fist, palm, leg, finger, and claw.
There were a total of ten categories.
There were also some miscellaneous books after that.
Han Zhao even found a few entry-level true qi cultivation methods inside.
It showed that no matter what Internal Force martial arts he cultivated, it could be cultivated together.
However, the effect of mastering it was far inferior to the original Life Nurturing Technique. What was the point of practicing it?
If he had the time, he might as well cultivate another Internal Force cultivation method.
“Looks like true qi cultivation methods have either been lost or put aside by the aristocratic families. No wonder the martial arts system is declining.”
After Han Zhao briefly passed through these true qi cultivation methods, he placed them back.
Then, he went to the claw technique section and found a secret manual called the Mystic Ice Claw.
The Mystic Ice Claw needed to borrow the water elemental qi of the five elements to unleash its true power.
If he wanted to cultivate it to perfection, he had to absorb a large amount of Ice Fiendish Qi.
Absorbing the five elements into the body was usually something only a Visceral Tempering Grandmaster would do.
Even if an ordinary martial artist had reached the Greater Mastery stage of Force Tempering and their defense had increased greatly, their internal organs were still very weak. Only by relying on their Internal Force to absorb the five elements bit by bit could they strengthen their internal organs.
As for absorbing fiendish qi, only a top-notch Fiend Condensation Martial Saint would dare to do so.
It was also because of the limitation of the strength of the body. Ordinary martial artists who had not reached a certain realm would be courting death by recklessly absorbing fiendish qi.
Of course, if he could absorb the fiendish qi in advance at the Visceral Tempering Realm, his combat strength would naturally increase greatly, but he had to consider if his body could withstand it.
The Visceral Tempering Realm absorbed the five elements qi of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Only when one reached the Fiend Condensation Realm could they absorb the five elements fiendish qi of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
However, other than the five-element fiendish qi, there were also five types of fiendish qi: Yin, Yang, Wind, Ice, and Lightning.
Seven types of fiendish qi condensed in his body at the same time. Only by combining the seven fiendish qi could he reach the Greater Mastery realm of Fiend Condensation.
As for condensing ten types of fiendish qi at the same time, probably not many people dared to try it a thousand years ago when the martial path was at its peak.
Han Zhao simply passed through the Mystic Ice Claw and walked to the table at the side. He took out a blank book and copied the contents of the first two levels.
The difficulty of cultivating this Mystic Ice Claw was relatively high, but without the Water Element Qi and the Ice Fiendish Qi, its power would be greatly reduced.
Simply put, it was the difficulty of a high-grade martial art, but it could only unleash the power of a low-grade martial art.
Unless an ordinary person was crazy, they would not choose this cultivation method to cultivate.
After all, if he could really break through to the Visceral Tempering Grandmaster Realm, there might be better cultivation methods.
However, Han Zhao was an exception.
He wanted to increase the proficiency of the [Barehanded Martial Saint] Trait. What he wanted was a cultivation method that was not easy to cultivate. Otherwise, he would reach perfection with just a little cultivation. At that time, he would have to continue changing cultivation methods. Otherwise, his proficiency would not be able to increase.
This kind of difficult cultivation method could be practiced for a long time. It was just nice to increase his proficiency.
At the moment, the finger technique he was looking for was best if it was more difficult to cultivate. There were many layers in the future.
Soon, Han Zhao copied down the first two levels of the Mystic Ice Claw.
Then, he headed to the finger technique section to search for cultivation methods.
“Divine Firmament Seal?” Han Zhao flipped to a light golden cover secret manual. He opened it and saw that it was a seal secret manual. It could also be called a finger technique.
“Oh? This is interesting. You can absorb one or more types of Five Elements Qi and fiendish qi.”
“If you absorb the Lightning Fiendish Qi, you can compete with the heavenly lightning when you reach perfection! How arrogant!”
Han Zhao was stunned by the introduction of the secret manual.
However, when he flipped to the last page, he understood why the author of the secret manual dared to boast.
“The Divine Firmament Seal is one of the 36 ultimate techniques of the
Heavenly Saint Sect, the beginner cultivation method of the Nine Purple Heavenly Lightning Seal. Currently, the Martial Academy has only recorded it to the Sixth Level. The subsequent cultivation methods are missing. Please choose carefully.”
It was the Heavenly Saint Sect’s martial technique again!
Han Zhao sighed in his heart.
If only he could transmigrate to a thousand years ago. That was the most prosperous period of martial arts.
Now that the martial arts system was broken, it was declining day by day. The Divine Weapon Family was high and mighty, and the Spirit Beast Family looked down on all living beings.
Conquests were frequent in various countries, and demons were domineering.
It was too difficult for martial artists to stand out!
“I can only take it slow.” Han Zhao took the Divine Firmament Seal to the side and copied it..
