Chapter 131 Expanding Influence (Part 1)
"Spiritual power is the gas that cultivators absorb from the surrounding environment and store in their dantian, similar to the true qi in a martial artist's body, only stronger."
The clear and melodious sound of starlight lingered in Yang Feng's mind.
"Stronger than martial arts practitioners?" Yang Feng's face showed a hint of surprise, then he replied, "Then how do you absorb the surrounding spiritual energy?"
He felt a surge of excitement. If he could truly absorb this so-called spiritual energy, would he become invincible?
"Naturally, you should cultivate a cultivation technique to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. However, your current conditions are too poor. Not only do you lack a cultivation technique, but there isn't much spiritual energy around you to absorb either."
Her words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Yang Feng's head. He thought he was going to be invincible, but the conditions weren't right.
"Don't be disappointed. The spiritual energy remaining in your body can be used for cultivation."
Xingguang noticed Yang Feng's disappointment and quickly spoke up.
"What you said is pointless. I don't have any cultivation techniques; I'm just an ordinary person," Yang Feng replied, shaking his head slightly.
"Are you stupid? The system shop! It basically has all the items in the universe. You can spend scrolls to buy a cultivation technique, embark on the path of cultivation, and ascend to a higher level."
Starlight said that encountering this kind of host can leave one speechless for a long time.
"Oh? There's such a thing?" Yang Feng's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. He walked slowly down the street, but then a thought struck him, and he opened the system shop.
A dazzling array of items came into Yang Feng's view.
Yang Feng found the section on cultivation techniques and discovered that it included not only cultivation techniques for immortality but also martial arts techniques and body-refining techniques.
[Xuanyuan Technique: An ancient cultivation method, divided into eight volumes. Reaching its ultimate level allows one to create the world!]
Yang Feng's mouth gaped slightly, his eyes flashing with surprise. This was only the first cultivation technique, and it was already so powerful.
Creating the world—even gods couldn't do that.
"Starlight, I'll buy this one!" Yang Feng roared excitedly to himself.
"Ding, insufficient scrolls—"
"Hmm... What the hell? Not enough scrolls." Yang Feng frowned slightly as he listened to the cold, mechanical voice in his mind.
“Of course! Do you think such a powerful technique is easy to obtain?!” Starlight said.
"How many scrolls do we need..." Before Yang Feng could finish speaking, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he saw what was written below.
Required scrolls: 99999
He hasn't even reached a hundred scrolls yet, how could he possibly have a hundred thousand scrolls!
This is clearly bullying.
"Forget it, this is too expensive. By the time I can afford it, I'll probably be a pile of ashes." Yang Feng waved his hand helplessly and looked down.
[The Longevity Manual: The cultivation method practiced by the legendary Monkey King in ancient mythology. It consists of seven volumes, and mastering it to its peak can grant immortality.]
Yang Feng thought this was also good; cultivating it to the extreme could lead to immortality, something even Qin Shi Huang envied.
But as soon as Yang Feng saw the price, he lost his nerve.
Required scrolls: 18888
It's much cheaper than the previous cultivation technique, but he still can't afford it!
Then, Yang Feng's gaze continued to sweep down and found that all of these were cultivation techniques he couldn't afford; they were ridiculously expensive.
He originally thought he had a lot of scrolls, but it turned out that the scrolls he already had were just a drop in the ocean.
Yang Feng simply asked Xingguang to introduce him to a cultivation technique.
"You currently possess only 63 scrolls. Here are two cultivation techniques suitable for you to practice."
As soon as he finished speaking, two sets of martial arts techniques appeared before Yang Feng's eyes.
[Qi Cultivation Technique: A cultivation method used by cultivators during the Qin Dynasty. Only one scroll was available for practice, making it quite ordinary.]
[Taoist Techniques: Taoist cultivation methods for practicing Qi and meditation, consisting of only one scroll, and are quite ordinary.]
Yang Feng looked at the two sets of techniques and felt they were quite weak. However, each of these techniques required 50 scrolls to purchase, which was equivalent to completing two missions.
However, he saw the cultivation techniques of the Qin Dynasty. Could it be that there were cultivators in the Qin Dynasty?
It's fake, right?
It's like I've never studied history.
Yang Feng thought to himself, and finally spent fifty scrolls to buy the Qi Refining Technique. He planned to buy stronger cultivation techniques later when he had more scrolls.
"Ding! Successfully purchased cultivation technique: Qi Refining Technique, 13 scrolls remaining."
Yang Feng eagerly opened the scroll and saw a series of characters that had been simplified into modern handwriting.
"Holy crap, isn't this just like a long ancient poem? Starlight, you've tricked me!" Yang Feng roared inwardly, feeling like he was about to vomit blood.
“It’s produced by the system, so it can’t be fake. Just follow the instructions to cultivate,” Starlight replied.
Yang Feng's lips twitched slightly, and he quickened his pace. Suddenly, on the street he turned left, he heard the sounds of fighting and arguing. He couldn't help but stop and look in the direction of the sound.
