Chapter 71: Chapter 60 Cultivation In The Wind_l

Translator: 549690339

Leaving the Scripture Palace, Lin Yi had no regrets. This was his own choice, just like as Elder Han said, considering the uniqueness of this cultivation technique, a thousand merit points is actually a bargain.

He had looked over the brief introduction of the body-refining techniques in Qing Yun City’s Commercial Association. Not only do they cost thousands of spirit stones, they can only stimulate the power of Qi and blood, and at most, they’re slightly more efficient than martial arts body-refining techniques.

As for the inability to get started, it really isn’t a difficult thing for him because he has three titles that all have the effect of breaking through bottlenecks. If all else failed, he would go to the mountains outside the Liu Yun Sect, find a secluded wind vent, and take Lady Yuan Yuan with him to combine the difficulty of breaking through, the effect of sudden enlightenment, and the minor blessing state. He didn’t believe he couldn’t break through then.

Lin Yi did not return to the Spiritual Field Planting District, but followed Elder Liu’s directions to the mountains of the outer sect to witness the refined wind land for himself.

He put Wind Law into operation and rushed all the way. It took him about half an hour to finally reach the place where a magnificent view was presented before him.

Two large mountains stood erect on both sides, with only a gap wide enough for two people to pass through. It seemed as if a huge mountain had been cleaved apart by a sword.

Before he even got close, he felt a strong wind blowing out from the gap. It seems that what Elder Liu said was true, this indeed is a perfect place for cultivation.

Lin Yi hurried to the foot of the mountain, he looked up and saw that the mountains on either side of the gap were extremely smooth, like a cut surface. However, some protruding rocks shattered the illusion of a mountain cleaved by a sword.

All of a sudden, he noticed that there seemed to be some cultivators sitting on the protruding rocks above for cultivation. There was even one person who had tied himself to a rock with a rope, and let his body sway with the strong wind blowing from the gap.

Were they cultivating on a wind vent? Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile. They were really going all out for cultivation.

He counted roughly and found that there were as many as seven or eight people. It seemed that Elder Liu had fooled quite a few people. The body refining technique created by the founder of Liu Yun Sect, just the name alone could make the hearts of the Outer Sect disciples tremble with excitement, let alone having an elder enthusiastically promoting it.

As for whether they could succeed in cultivation or not, it was not within their

consideration. They all fancied themselves as potentially outstanding talents, understanding this Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind, and then becoming the most dazzling character in the sect.

Most of these people were shirtless, seemingly letting the wind into their bodies more freely. Lin Yi used the Spirit Wood Technique to observe them, and found that the lowest was at the level of Qi Refining Fifth Level, and the one who hung himself up on the wind vent was at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.

His Spirit Wood Technique was already at the Great Achievement Level, even if the level is slightly higher than his own, he could still examine it.

This was not unexpected, because the disciples in the Initial Stage of Qi

Refining at the Outer Sect could not possibly gather a hundred merit points.

“Senior brothers above, the junior brother pays his respects. You all are cultivating the Wind Transformation Technique here, right? How are the results?” Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask. They were hanging themselves up so desperately, there must be some effect, right?

At this time, the cultivator on the rock closest to Lin Yi shook his head and said, “Alas, another one fooled by Elder Liu. This Wind Transformation Technique is extremely difficult to get started. Some of us have been cultivating for one or two years, and still have not made any progress.”

“Look at the senior brother hanging up there. He started cultivating since the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, and now he has reached the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, but he still hasn’t been able to get started.”

Lin Yi’s heart sunk. Good lord, his level broke through from the fifth to the seventh layer, yet he still hadn’t been able to get started with the Wind Transformation Technique. He’s been probably cultivating for at least five years already. “Is the Liu Yun Ointment given by Elder Liu useful?”

“Well, it is useful, but what’s the use of just feeling the wind? If we cannot draw wind into the body, it’s still wasted.” The closest cultivator once again spoke.

At this moment, the cultivator hanging above spoke in a stern tone: “Stop talking and focus on understanding. While my body was drifting with the wind, I gained some insights.”

Upon hearing this, the cultivator chatting with Lin Yi’s eyes lit up, “Really? Then I’ll hang too.”

With that, he took a rope out of his Storage Symbol, tied himself up, and then fastened the other end of the rope firmly onto a mountain rock. He then jumped down, leaving himself hanging. In no time, there were already five cultivators hanging there.

Suddenly, a cry for help came from above, “Who can help me out? I accidentally hung the rope around my neck…”

Lin Yi couldn’t hold back his laughter, then quickly covered his mouth. This seemed like they were going crazy practicing. Lin Yi had to admit, Elder Liu’s choice of people was indeed “talented”.

“Junior Brother, since you have also learned the Wind Transformation Technique, why not hang with us? With the experience of this Senior Brother, you can avoid some detours.” The cultivator who was closest to him said to him.

“I have some things to take care of, I will practice again tomorrow. Farewell, Senior Brothers.” Lin Yi thought for a bit, waved his hand and spoke. He planned to improve his Great Achievement Level Wind Law to Great Perfection before practicing again, which might help activate the Wind Transformation Technique.

On his way back, he couldn’t help but laugh again when he thought about what had just happened. A cultivator hanging himself with a rope and even ended up with the rope around his neck, it was nothing short of a comedy.

That night, Lin Yi with Yuan Yuan returned to the Cave Mansion and began practicing while using the Wind Law. He still rented the cave mansion for fifteen Spirit Stones a day. This time he only planned to improve the spell, so the pace of improving his cultivation wasn’t important.

He had been practicing spells during his free time in the previous month of making symbols. Now his Mysterious Light Armor, Wind Law, and the Spirit Wood Technique were very close to reaching the Great Achievement Level.

He first practiced the Wind Law. Under the enhancement effect of improving the spell technique speed, the experience value continued to rise rapidly. Soon, it reached the Great Perfection stage. The Enlightenment effect brought by “Color is Void” allowed him to have a deeper understanding of this feather weight spell.

Finally, after tirelessly practicing for four hours, a pop-up window appeared in front of his eyes, “[Wind Law] Experience +1.”

At the moment of breakthrough, Lin Yi gently held up the air with his hands, faintly feeling the surge of the wind. As he executed the Wind Law, it felt as if he was riding on the wind, significantly increasing his speed.

After digesting the insights gained from reaching the Grandmaster Level, he quickly switched to practicing the other two spells: Mysterious Light Armor and Spirit Wood Technique, bringing them both up to Grandmaster Level.

Just like with the initial stage of symbol making skills, after reaching the Grandmaster Level, the experience value no longer increased by just 100 points, but after increasing by 100, it directly doubled to 1,000 points.

Now, he only have two titles that have the bonus effect on the speed of improving spell skills, which are [Newbie] Third Level, 30%, and [Color is Void] Second Tier, 10%-50%. He could generally reach about 65%, allowing him to gain more experience when practicing.

Then, Lin Yi spent all his remaining time practicing [Wind Law]. Once it reached the Great Perfection, he should be able to feel the existence of the wind more clearly, which would definitely benefit the practice of the Wind Transformation Technique.

Both his Metal Finger and Cloud Rain Technique had already been upgraded to the Grandmaster Level previously. However, they were still far from reaching Great Perfection, so he currently didn’t consider practicing them.

Based on his speculation, titles like [Newbie] might require a certain number of spells or skills to be elevated to Great Perfection before it could be upgraded to the next stage title.

Moreover, he felt that cultivation levels accounted for a significant proportion. Most probably, until he reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, it would be impossible for him to obtain the next stage newbie title..
