Chapter 80: Imparting the Cultivation Method.
The auction of the three Soul Bones would require a month of promotion.
During this period, Ye Cheng naturally wouldn't foolishly wait around. He simply decided to use this period to thoroughly guide his disciple, Zhu Zhuqing, in her Soul Power cultivation.
...
This location was in the Outskirts of Heaven Dou City.
The Douluo Continent had no industrial pollution, so it was a land of green mountains and clear waters, a pure natural wilderness.
Nestled by mountains and water, it was truly a beautiful scene of towering peaks and flowing streams.
Ye Cheng sat cross-legged on a bluestone.
Zhu Zhuqing stood below the bluestone, looking up at him. As for Ning Rongrong, she had temporarily returned home.
"Next, what I'm about to impart to you is a Cultivation Technique I created myself," Ye Cheng said, his expression serious, as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing below. "This method vastly differs from the Meditation Methods commonly known, and its effects are miraculous. My ability to cultivate to this realm at such a young age is inextricably linked to this special Meditation Method."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes immediately filled with anticipation. Her heart was brimming with curiosity about the special Meditation Method he spoke of.
Speaking of which, the cultivation method for Soul Masters in this world was called Meditation, but its specific principle was actually similar to cultivating Internal Force in Wuxia novels. Through Meditation, one circulates their own Soul Power, attracting external energy to flow through the meridians within the body, thereby increasing one's Soul Power.
However, compared to the Internal Cultivation Techniques specifically for Internal Cultivation in the Wuxia World, the Meditation Methods in this world were much cruder. The so-called cultivation for most Soul Masters was merely circulating Soul Power irregularly through the meridians in their bodies via Meditation, which, as one could imagine, made their efficiency extremely low.
Of course, this only referred to the lowest-level Meditation Methods. Great Sects and Great Clans with ancient inheritances possessed advanced Meditation Methods. Over long periods of time, they gradually discovered which meridians Soul Power should circulate through to achieve more efficient Soul Power circulation and faster cultivation speed. These advanced Meditation Methods already had the rudiment of Internal Cultivation.
It was just that the people in this world focused too much on Soul Rings and Soul Skills, so their development in this area remained incredibly crude. It couldn't even compare to the third-rate Cultivation Technique Tang San brought from the Wuxia World.
When Ye Cheng fabricated his Twin Martial Soul Persona, he naturally wouldn't shortchange himself, so a profound Soul Power Cultivation Technique was certainly something he possessed. If its inherent effects were revealed, it would absolutely drop the jaws of all Soul Masters. Mysterious Heaven Skill was trash compared to this Cultivation Technique!
Now, Ye Cheng was preparing to impart this Cultivation Technique to Zhu Zhuqing, because if a master had no real skills to teach his disciple, it would be too pathetic.
"Speaking of which, the creation of this Meditation Method actually stemmed from a wild fantasy I had in my youth..." Ye Cheng said, a look of reminiscence appearing in his eyes as his gaze drifted into the distance, his thoughts seemingly returning to the distant past.
Seeing him reminiscing about the past, Zhu Zhuqing didn't interrupt him, as she was actually curious about the past of this legendary teacher. What kind of efforts and hardships did he endure to reach his current cultivation realm? Just thinking about it, Zhu Zhuqing felt Ye Cheng's figure grow incomparably tall and imposing!
"...At that time, I was burdened by a deep-seated vendetta, and because of this, I urgently wanted to improve my Soul Power. Every day, I didn't let go of a single moment for Soul Power Cultivation, compressing my free time to the absolute limit and cultivating desperately. I finally reached Level 30 Soul Power at the age of nine. But even so, the progress of my Soul Power still didn't satisfy me." Ye Cheng murmured, making remarks that bordered on humblebragging. Zhu Zhuqing's eyebrows twitched as she listened. Unsatisfied with reaching Level 30 at nine years old? How was she, a 12-year-old not yet at Level 30, supposed to feel?
"At that time, I urgently felt that there wasn't enough time. I wished I could stretch one minute into two, even using my eating and sleeping time for cultivation, and that's how I came to have a wild fantasy."
"Is there a method in this world that would allow me, at all times, even while eating or sleeping, for my Soul Power to be constantly cultivating?"
At this point, Ye Cheng turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing and calmly said, "Thus, this special Meditation Method was born."
As soon as these words left his mouth, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened abruptly. She looked at him in disbelief and couldn't help but say, "Teacher, do you mean that this Meditation Method can keep me in cultivation at all times?"
Ye Cheng smiled and nodded.
"This is too incredible..."
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't hide the shock on her face, whispering, "Could such a miraculous Meditation Method truly exist in this world?"
As a clan with a long inheritance, the Star Luo Zhu Family undoubtedly possessed advanced Meditation Methods. Unlike the disorganized, common Meditation Methods taught in the academy, these allowed Soul Power to circulate regularly through the meridians, making their Cultivation efficiency incomparable to that of commoners. Therefore, Zhu Zhuqing clearly knew that if such a miraculous Meditation Method truly existed...
Then this Meditation Method would simply be the most precious thing in the world. For Great Clans and Great Factions, not even a 100,000-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone could compare. Because Soul Rings and Soul Bones could only be used by one person, but this special Meditation Method could benefit everyone, allowing the entire clan to benefit!
This special Meditation Method was simply a Dimensionality Reduction Strike for others!
Just imagine, given two individuals with similar aptitude. One spends most of their day wasted on other things. The other, however, is constantly in a state of cultivation every single moment... Over time, the gap would become immeasurable.
"Naturally, it exists. I will impart it to you now!" Ye Cheng didn't waste words. He directly extended a hand and touched Zhu Zhuqing's glabella, using his Dream Bubble ability to create an illusion and directly impart the Cultivation essentials of the Cultivation Technique to her.
In an instant, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze became dazed, and her entire consciousness entered a wondrous world. In that world, Ye Cheng displayed everything to her in an easy-to-understand manner.
"..."
A long time passed.
Zhu Zhuqing's dazed eyes gradually regained clarity. When she emerged from the illusion realm, the look in her eyes as she gazed at Ye Cheng immediately filled with immense reverence.
"Teacher, does this Cultivation Technique have a name?" she couldn't help but ask.
"A name? The Cultivation Technique inherently has no name. If you insist on a designation, then let's call it the 'Innate Art'," he said.
"Innate Art..." Zhu Zhuqing murmured to herself, feeling that being accepted for apprenticeship by him was undoubtedly the luckiest thing to happen in her entire life.
"Alright, though I've already imparted the key points of Cultivation to you," Ye Cheng clapped his hands, startling her awake, "if you rely solely on yourself, it would take quite a long time for you to grasp the fundamentals. Next, I will assist you in grasping the fundamentals of Cultivation."
"Yes."
Zhu Zhuqing's expression turned serious, her heart filled with both expectation and nervousness.
