Chapter 523: Chapter 523
Jiang Yuan clicked to accept, then sat cross-legged under the tree house, listening to Ling Di recite a bunch of incomprehensible "spells."
Every day he listened to his disciples or Xiao Bai "lecture," occasionally understanding one or two sentences. But when a higher realm advanced monster came to "lecture," even the punctuation seemed confusing.
Yet he wasn’t worried at all. It didn’t matter if he couldn’t understand, as long as the system could!
After Ling Di finished reciting the sleep-inducing "spells," the progress bar for learning the Space Secret Technique also completed, and the four big words "Space Secret Technique" jumped from the incomplete skill page to the skill interface.
"You can try to memorize and comprehend it first."
Ling Di finished explaining the cultivation technique and patiently elaborated, "Innate talent doesn’t make sense sometimes. It’s said that some Tribulation Crossing Realm seniors can’t use the power of space if they lack talent.
Moreover, the cultivation technique I learned is a simplified version.
My innate talent is limited, and after comprehending it, I can only tear space for short-distance transmission, while higher spatial application abilities remain beyond my reach."
[Ordinary Space Secret Technique: Level One, capable of the simplest use of spatial power, can improve experience through effective usage, and higher skill levels enhance the power of space application. Note: The current version is ordinary and can continue to search for more Space Secret Technique contents for updates.]
"The Space Secret Technique you learned is a simplified version?" Jiang Yuan asked Ling Di earnestly after reading the detailed introduction, "Are there other versions?"
The other party shook his ears and smiled, "Of course there are. Space Secret Techniques are different from other cultivation techniques. Without enough talent, even if you have the best and most comprehensive cultivation technique, you can’t understand or comprehend it. Actually, learning the simplified version was quite strenuous for me...
As for other versions, one level higher is ordinary, and then there’s the complete version. Higher ones, I have no idea wow."
This clarified things for Jiang Yuan: previously, he had learned one-third of the written Space Secret Technique, which served as the foundation. Combined with Ling Di’s mastery of the simplified version, the system progress bar completed, combining the two into the ordinary version.
Since effective usage count is needed for brushing up experience...
He turned his gaze to the pile of Spirit Stones in the courtyard, identified, and released the skill.
"Space Secret Technique!" Check latest chapters at NoveIＦire.net
The pile of Spirit Stones suddenly rolled together, becoming smaller and smaller, as if drawn into a bottomless abyss.
In just a dozen seconds, the massive pile of Spirit Stones compressed into a small deep blue cube.
Not a single Spirit Stone missing, a perfectly complete pile of a million Spirit Stones identical to before.
"Hmm, interesting!" Jiang Yuan bent over to pick up the weightless deep blue cube and weighed it.
Considering Spirit Stones can be compressed, he pondered if Immortal Jade could too?
Unfortunately, there’s not enough Immortal Jade for testing.
"Woof woof!" Ling Di watched the scene unfold with wide eyes, the whole dog stunned.
The master... really learned and applied the technique just after hearing the cultivation method?
Could it be that he already knew and was teasing me?
Thinking about it, he’s busy every day; it’s unlikely he’d waste time . So, he just learned the cultivation method and instantly used it!
Wow! Truly a monster, understanding so quickly!
Moments ago, Ling Di’s pride deflated, the old dog hung its ears in resentment: innate talent truly defies logic!
Jiang Yuan didn’t notice the complex gaze from Ling Di. He glanced at the skill bar; each use gained almost no experience!
With this snail pace, upgrading would take ages!
Where else can Level One space power be applied? Jiang Yuan pondered, unable to think of anything but laying a million Spirit Stones on the ground and compressing them again.
Repeated mundane exercises made Ling Di puzzled, dog-headed and clueless about the master’s antics.
Didn’t he already learn it?
Why not try something more profound, like tearing space, instead of obsessing over Spirit Stones?
Of course, these thoughts only dared to remain internal, never shown outwardly. Being the master’s pet, one can’t fathom the master’s reasons.
After about ten rounds, Jiang Yuan noticed just a tiny progress on the experience bar, deciding he wouldn’t bother with these Spirit Stones anymore and stored them away.
With such speed, he must stall, maybe try again when he’s free someday.
Looking up, he saw Ling Di gazing at him intently, misinterpreting the look as if his contracted pet wanted some benefit after teaching him the Space Secret Technique.
He mused it seemed appropriate; after all, the skill was imparted, and as its owner, he should offer something.
What to give, however?
The Cloud Concealment Sect’s ancestor-level Demon Beast has seen every good thing, hasn’t it?
Jiang Yuan thought carefully and smiled, "Forget the rest, you probably don’t need them. Next time I refine some Clear Heart Pills, I’ll give you a few pieces. You can consume them to calm your mind during cultivation."
This Clear Heart Pill, like the one-third Space Secret Technique, was found in a small dimension. The system details specifically noted it was improved by Xuanyuan Yangguang as a better version.
Previously, the flames in the Alchemy Room were insufficient, and the herbs weren’t complete, so he hadn’t refined it.
With Level Two Earth Spirit Flame and Yun Shu intermittently collecting herbs, he scheduled a batch, estimating it would be ready around noon.
Unexpectedly, today he used Xuanyuan Yangguang’s "legacy assets" consecutively, stirring Jiang Yuan’s emotions profoundly.
Disregarding standpoint attitudes, Xuanyuan Yangguang was indeed a genius—proficient in employing space techniques to forge small worlds, creating advanced arrays, and modifying pill formulas. Even old dragons and stone tigers were subdued effortlessly, his combat prowess was exceptional, truly an all-rounder!
"Clear Heart Pill?" Ling Di jerked slightly upon hearing, then rejoiced, barking thanks.
It’s a spirit elixir guaranteeing the optimal cultivation state!
Consuming Clear Heart Pills during cultivation immediately clears distracting thoughts, reducing heart demon occurrence chances. If already plagued by heart demons, Clear Heart Pills can suppress them.
Such a precious elixir, and the master can refine it, truly impressive!
"Woof?" The old dog was gleeful but couldn’t help musing anymore. Why did the master emphasize refining Clear Heart Pills specifically?
Could it be... Its tail wagged momentarily, then froze.
Oops! Since receiving the master’s enlightening reprimand, he should have seized the chance of loosened shackles to diligently cultivate and comprehend the world’s path, yet failed to tame his restless mind, indulging in wayward thoughts instead of earnest cultivation!
Has the master noticed this, hence the suggestion of Clear Heart Pills to remind focus?
"That’s right, definitely the case. Else, among so many spirit elixirs, why particularly refine Clear Heart Pills for me?" Ling Di’s ears drooped once more, sighing that the master’s hint wasn’t wrong; he indeed needed a good focus session!
Simultaneously, this served as a calming pill: since the master perceived his agitation, surely he understands his inner desires too?
Among experts, tacit understanding suffices without explicit questioning. Thus, consuming Clear Heart Pills for robust cultivation, while awaiting further master’s arrangements!
Little did Jiang Yuan know, a mere mention of Clear Heart Pills triggered such imagination from Ling Di.
He headed to the Market to fetch the little fox and then dove into the kitchen to prepare breakfast while also cooking for public service order demands, busy from early morning.
