Chapter 6 Cultivation Plan
In the evening, Chen Yuan, dressed in training clothes and holding a training longsword, practiced the Spirit Wind Sword Technique in the courtyard of the villa.
With a flash of sword light, his figure moved through the breeze, as if blending with nature.
The reason for choosing to cultivate in the courtyard rather than the training room is that, according to the Lingfeng Sword Technique, cultivating in a windy environment will make the comprehension and improvement of sword techniques much more effective.
As for whether this record is true or false, Chen Yuan knows it is true.
Because the Spirit Wind Sword Technique is Chen Yuan's family's sword technique, and the creator of the manual, Chen Xuandao, was his grandfather.
In Chen Yuan's memory, his grandfather Chen Xuandao was a figure active during the Great Nirvana period. With his exceptionally agile swordsmanship, he single-handedly slew many powerful monsters and protected the people of the region.
Later, when the two martial arts schools were established, Chen Xuandao joined the Extreme Martial Arts School and, in order to support the school's owner in promoting the "Extreme Home" platform, he voluntarily offered up the secret manual of the Spirit Wind Sword Technique.
Although this sword technique was only rated C by the school master "Hong", Hong also personally wrote a comment on the manual.
"Although this manual is ranked C, the wind and nature it captures in its swordsmanship are quite ingenious. If it weren't for the fact that so few people could comprehend the agility of the wind from it, given the true power of this swordsmanship, it should have been ranked A."
Because of Hong's comment back then, the C-level manual, Spirit Wind Sword Technique, became a hot seller for a while, allowing Chen Xuandao to accumulate a substantial fortune through profit sharing.
But soon, those who bought the manual found that they could not comprehend the so-called "wind agility" in swordsmanship no matter what they did. They felt cheated, or they thought that Chen Xuandao was keeping secrets and did not want people to understand the subtleties of swordsmanship.
So gradually, this manual was forgotten. Later, Chen Xuandao died in a battle during the Great Nirvana, and everyone thought that the true Lingfeng Sword Technique had been lost.
It wasn't until many years later, when Chen Ji rose to prominence and, relying on his exquisite and agile swordsmanship, managed to contend with high-level beast generals for a long time despite only being a novice warrior, that this secret manual returned to the world's attention.
As Chen Xuandao's son, Chen Ji also received a share of the profits from selling the Spirit Wind Sword Technique, thus making a fortune. This villa was purchased by Chen Ji with that money.
Of course, even though Chen Ji brought another wave of interest to the Spirit Wind Sword Technique, no one could grasp its subtleties. So when people felt cheated, the manual was once again ignored.
Even today, many people still claim that the secret of the Spirit Wind Sword Technique is kept by the Chen family; otherwise, why would none of those who bought the manual have mastered it?
Only Chen Yuan knew that the Chen family had not kept anything secret, because what Chen Ji taught him was exactly the same as what was sold to others.
"Perhaps only people with specific aptitudes can successfully master the Spirit Wind Sword Technique. It might be related to the breadth of one's brain or a certain gene fragment in one's bloodline." Chen Yuan felt that the Spirit Wind Sword Technique must have a secret, but unfortunately he had used up all his kill points and could not use the optimization system to verify it.
"My primary goal right now is to cultivate the Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing and the Hibernation Technique. Because these two secret techniques are 100% compatible with me, I can complete their cultivation in a short period of time and improve my strength."
"As for the Spirit Wind Sword Technique, let's continue practicing it. If we can't grasp its true meaning in time, we'll optimize it after I get some kill points in the wilderness."
As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.
After dinner, Chen Yuan went to the courtyard again to practice his swordsmanship.
It took two hours before I finally felt completely exhausted.
"I'm finally exhausted. It's strange, the more I practice this swordsmanship, the lighter my body feels, and I can't feel my stamina draining away at all." Chen Yuan shook his head in confusion. "Well, it's getting late. I should hurry up and practice the guiding technique, and then absorb cosmic energy through deep sleep."
The Spirit Wind Sword Technique has three core elements: swordsmanship, footwork, and guiding techniques. The swordsmanship is called "Spirit Wind," characterized by its light, agile, and graceful movements. The footwork is called "Flowing Wind," where the body blends with nature and moves with the wind. The guiding techniques are called "Gale."
As the name suggests, this guiding technique is so powerful that it is like a whirlwind that can destroy everything in its path!
"Hiss... This is exciting! I didn't feel anything when I was practicing swordsmanship and movement techniques, but I didn't expect this guiding technique to be so powerful."
"According to the manual, I am on the right track. The essence of swordsmanship and footwork lies in making one blend into the wind. The more light and agile one feels during practice, the more on the right path one is. Guiding techniques are the opposite; the stronger the stimulation to the body, the more significant the effect." Chen Yuan pondered in his mind while practicing guiding techniques.
"It seems that this Spirit Wind Sword Technique really was created specifically for the Chen family. I've seen the comments inside the Limitless House, and there isn't a single one that describes my situation."
Half an hour later, the guiding technique training ended. Chen Yuan was too lazy to walk back to his room, so he lay down on the floor and fell fast asleep.
Two hours later, he opened his eyes again, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.
"Huh, it seems I went straight into a deep sleep without meditating." Chen Yuan glanced at the panel and found that his proficiency in the Sleep Technique had not advanced to the next level.
"My deep sleep is still in stage one. It seems this guided exercise has replaced my meditation time?"
"Speaking of which, the three secret techniques I've mastered seem to be interconnected," Chen Yuan said thoughtfully. "This is a good thing; cultivating one secret technique will also help improve the others."
"My cultivation efficiency has increased significantly."
Chen Yuan's panel at this moment looks like this:
Name: Chen Yuan
Age: 19
Strength: 2287.46 (kg)
Realm: Intermediate Warrior
Brain width: 15
Secret Technique:
Hibernation Technique - Crystal Meditation: A cultivation-type secret technique, rated B, current progress: Beginner (39.28%)
Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing: A cultivation secret technique, rated C, current progress: Beginner (10.49%)
Spirit Wind Sword Technique: Combat-type secret technique, rating C, current progress: Overall beginner level 37.66% (Swordsmanship 39.69%, Movement Technique 33.41%, Guiding Technique 39.89%)
Power Level: 0.98
Current Optimizable Item: Arcane
Kill Points: 0
"My strength has increased again." Chen Yuan looked at the increase on the panel and was as happy as a child. "Including the 30 kilograms I gained from my deep sleep this morning, I have gained more than 50 kilograms of strength today."
"Not to mention, as my progress with the Yi Jin Jing increases, my aptitude will improve further, and my cultivation efficiency will be even higher."
"Perhaps, once I've mastered the Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing, I can even join the ranks of advanced warriors."
Under the moonlight, Chen Yuan contemplates the future.
"Hmm... I still can't slack off. This is just Earth. No matter what achievements we make on Earth, they are nothing in the grand scheme of the universe." Thinking of his future goals, Chen Yuan became excited again.
"It's decided. From now on, I'll replace sleep with meditation. Anyway, meditation is more effective than normal sleep, and it can also increase the progress of the hibernation method. It's a win-win situation."
So Chen Yuan meditated all night until dawn, and then began a new day of cultivation.
Chen Yuan's current cultivation plan is as follows:
In the morning, I practiced the Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing (a classic text on internal medicine and traditional Chinese medicine), at noon I took a medicinal bath and practiced standing meditation, and in the afternoon I practiced the Ling Feng Sword Technique.
Due to the unique nature of the Spirit Wind Sword Technique, it took Chen Yuan a long time to practice until he was exhausted. However, Chen Yuan had nothing else to do, so he practiced until evening. After his body was exhausted, he practiced the guiding technique and then entered a deep sleep to recover.
After Chen Yuan made his plan, he practiced according to it for the entire day of September 22nd.
Although he was tired, Chen Yuan could see his strength increasing and his proficiency in various secret techniques improving because of the control panel.
Over the course of the day, Chen Yuan's strength increased by another 52 kilograms, and his proficiency in all three secret techniques improved. The smallest improvement was in the Spirit Wind Sword Technique, at only 3.4%, while the largest improvement was in the Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing, which increased by a full 9.81%.
The visible progress not only kept Chen Yuan from feeling tired, but also made him even more enthusiastic.
The existence of the panel gave him a sense of nurturing, even though the target of nurturing was himself.
September 23rd was another day of self-discipline. As night fell, Chen Yuan once again gained 52 kilograms of strength and various levels of proficiency.
On the morning of September 24, Chen Yuan, who had just finished a deep sleep, received a call from Qin Zhan, reminding him not to forget to come to his place for lunch that day.
Patting his forehead, Chen Yuan remembered that he had indeed promised Qin Zhan two days ago, but he had been so engrossed in cultivation these past two days that he had almost forgotten about it.
Looking at his watch, Chen Yuan realized it was almost time for the appointment. He quickly washed up, changed into clean clothes, and set off for the meeting.
When Chen Yuan arrived at Qin Zhan's house, he found that in addition to Qin Zhan, he also saw an unexpected person.
