Cultivation Online

Chapter 413 - Spirit Severing Physique

After breakfast, Meixiu laid on her bed and returned to Cultivation Online.

Once she was in the game, she took a seat on the cold floor in the lotus position and tried to cultivate using the Basic Qi Gathering Technique sheʼd obtained at the beginning of the game.

When Feng Yuxiang and the others noticed this, they turned to look at her with raised eyebrows.

”Are you trying to cultivate? I thought you didnʼt have any cultivation techniques.” Feng Yuxiang couldnʼt help but ask her out of curiosity.

Meixiu nodded and said, ”I have this technique called Basic Qi Gathering Technique. I want to get used to cultivation before I do it for real.”

”What? Basic Qi Gathering Technique? That trash everybody uses?” Feng Yuxiang immediately expressed disgust on her face.

”Meixiu, I suggest you donʼt use that trash cultivation technique and wait until you have something better even if itʼs only for practice. After all, the better your cultivation technique, the stronger your foundations will be.” Feng Yuxiang said.

And she continued, ”If you use that cultivation technique to form your foundations, it might affect your future by limiting it.”

”For example, if two people start cultivating with different techniques— one with an inferior technique and the other with a superior technique— even if the Cultivator with the inferior technique changes his cultivation technique for a better one in the future, his cultivation would not go as far as the person who has been using a superior cultivation technique since the beginning unless that person cripples his cultivation base and starts all over again.”

”This is why most Cultivators stay with one cultivation technique for their entire life even if they find something slightly better, as itʼs not worth the hassle of restarting your cultivation technique from the beginning.”

”I see…” Meixiu stopped trying to cultivate after hearing Feng Yuxiangʼs words.

”I mean, if you really want to cultivate, I guess itʼs okay for you since you wonʼt really lose much even if you have to start again. However, itʼs a painful process to restart your cultivation base without damaging your Dantian, and a single mistake will cripple you for the rest of your life.” Feng Yuxiang added.

”Itʼs okay. I will wait until I have a better cultivation technique.” Meixiu said.

”I would give you a cultivation technique if I had one, but as a Divine Beast, we donʼt really rely on cultivation techniques to cultivate, and we absorb Spirit Qi as naturally as breathing. Though, having a cultivation technique would definitely help us cultivate faster.”

”Xiao Hua also only has one cultivation technique, but youʼre not compatible with it.”

”What about you, Lan Yingying? You got something that could help her out?” Feng Yuxiang turned to ask her.

Lan Yingying shook her head and said, ”Unfortunately, I donʼt have any techniques. I cultivate by consuming other magical beasts.”

”What a unique physique… Itʼs somewhat similar to the Young Master, but he eats their cores instead. Hmm? Speaking of physique, do you have any unique physiques, Meixiu?” Feng Yuxiang asked her.

Meixiu nodded and said, ”Itʼs a physique called Spirit Severing Physique.”

”S-Spirit Severing Physique?! A Divine-grade physique?!” Feng Yuxiang exclaimed.

Meixiu nodded, and she asked, ”Do you know what it does?”

”The Spirit Severing Physique is a rare and powerful physique that allows you to separate your spirit from your body! Itʼs kind of like Divine Sense, and youʼre near invincible as long as youʼre in the state!” Feng Yuxiang said.

”Furthermore, while youʼre in that state, you can bypass all sorts of formations and defenses that would normally block people from entering. Itʼs a highly coveted physique since you can enter places where people normally cannot and not have to worry about traps.”

”Even in the upper heavens, your talents will be useful. In fact, your talents will probably become more valuable as you ascend because things get increasingly more dangerous the higher you go.”

”I know some people who have the same physique, and they would sell their services by scouting Legacy Tombs and other dangerous places for information in exchange for an enormous amount of wealth and resources.”

”I see…” Meixiu nodded, understanding her physique a little bit more now.

”How do I do it? I would like to try,” she then said.

”Hmm…” Feng Yuxiang pondered for a moment and said, ”Unfortunately, I donʼt think your body can handle it right now, especially since youʼre still a mortal. Once you reach Spirit Warrior, youʼll probably be able to do it, and as you grow stronger, youʼll be able to enter your spirit form for much longer, and you can even travel further away from your real body.”

”Okay,” Meixiu said.

Meanwhile, inside the Dragon Temple, Yuan flew around the city with his Dragonʼs Gaze activated the entire time.

”I have flown around the city a couple of times now, but I still cannot find the treasure room…” Yuan sighed.

Where could the treasure room be hiding? He even checked all of the buildings that were glowing just in case.

It was at this moment the city suddenly began rumbling again.

”Whatʼs happening? Could it be the formation?” Yuan quickly returned to the dragon statue.

Once he was at the dragon statue, Yuan looked at the formation that looked completed.

”It looks completed, but where is the legacy?”

Just as Yuan thought this, the dragon statue behind him suddenly began moving.

Whoosh!

The dragon statue slowly transformed, turning from metal to a more realistic material, and it was even growing bigger. In just moments, the dragon statue went from looking like a statue to a real dragon, and it even flew into the sky and circled around the city exactly nine times before approaching Yuan.

”Are you the one who seeks my legacy?” The dragon statue spoke to Yuan as though it was their first encounter.

Yuan, who was still hovering in the air, nodded his head.

”Youʼre the Great One, right? I am interested in your legacy. Can you tell me more about it?”
