YM778.TV Chapter 170: 170: Comprehending a New Cultivation Technique [《Basic Spirit Absorption Technique》(Green)]
“Stop with the weird passive-aggressive comments, Yurou has already left. If you want to know what happened, go ask her yourself.”
If Li Yuan hadn’t known that these four sisters shared a bond, at first treating Shen Yurou as a rival, he might have thought they were genuinely upset on Xiao Yurou’s behalf.
“All of you behave yourselves and cut out the cryptic nonsense, or you’ll be punished. I’ll make sure your behinds swell from a spanking! Wait till I come down, then I’ll deal with you.”
After speaking his mind, Li Yuan went straight to the kitchen, took breakfast out of the warming box, and headed upstairs to the third floor.
“Wake up, wash up, eat.”
He put the breakfast on the table and then walked over to the bed to call out.
“Hand me a bathrobe.”
From the cocoon of bedding emerged two pale arms, and from the blood-red, gem-like eyes shone a certain kind of luminescence.
“You’re really going broke, huh? Not even a spare set of clothes left?”
Li Yuan muttered to himself, grudgingly fetched a bathrobe, and intentionally placed it just out of her reach by the bedside.
Inwardly, he snidely thought, why bother wearing anything at all? Better to just get up and head straight to wash up, all bare and smooth.
Lord Zi’s LSP streak picked up once again; naturally, his thoughts were to enjoy a proper show.
Basketball, football, rugby—he just couldn’t get enough of those games, and he hadn’t had his fill yesterday!
“Hmph!”
A displeased snort sounded, and those ruby-like eyes showed naked disdain.
But Number Two did not care at all about exposing herself, boldly flipping off the covers to reveal her graceful figure in full view to a certain LSP.
However, the beautiful scene was exposed for less than two seconds before it was enveloped by a white bathrobe, thoroughly concealed.
The only thing left for appreciation was her delicate, pink neck, the beautifully curved and slender legs, and the translucent jade-like feet.
As Lord Zi was admiring and about to follow, a loud “bang” of a door nearly hit his nose.
“Ugh, I haven’t even had my turn to wash up yet. Don’t lock the door!”
Being a step too slow, he found himself shut out of the washroom, which was a source of frustration for Lord Zi.
“Whatever you’re thinking, even the stray cats outside know.”
A languid voice emanated from inside the washroom, followed by the sound of running water and such.
“Hurry up with your movements, or breakfast will get cold.”
Liyuan shrugged helplessly, turned around, and sat back down at the table before opening his attribute panel.
Last night, something had happened in the Bloodline Space, he was played with by some woman, and in his dazed state, he heard the system alert. Now that he had a moment, it was a good time to check it out.
“Holy shit!”
He hadn’t realized until he checked; he was absolutely stunned to see that his attributes had skyrocketed!
Originally, when he just broke through to Third Order Level 80, he had examined his attributes in detail. But now, on checking, his attributes had surged by a large margin!
[Ding, profession user Zi Liyuan, abnormal state, Bloodline Power Awakening 0.20%, All Attributes +20% (Temporary)!]
[Ding, profession user Zi Liyuan, Spiritual Power fluctuation abnormal, a Minor Celestial Cycle has formed inside the body, automatically comprehending “Elementary Absorption Technique”!]
[“Basic Spirit Absorption Technique” (Green) LV0 (Experience 0/1000): Elite quality foundational cultivation technique, increases physical constitution by +2, spirit by +1, spiritual power by +3, and spiritual energy recovery rate by +0.5% per level. The maximum level for this technique is LV10. (Note: Suitable for Second Order LV40 or above practitioners.)]
A flood of system notification messages appeared, but among them, only three were truly useful.
Bloodline Power had awakened by 0.20%, instantly granting a temporary boost of +20% to all attributes. This temporary effect would last a whole seven days!
If the awakening of Bloodline Power did not progress beyond seven days, then the temporary bonus effect would disappear, and the awakened progress of Bloodline Power would gradually regress, until it returned to its initial frozen state.
The second and third useful pieces of information were naturally the comprehension of a new cultivation technique.
As long as one was a Yan Huang Bloodline Bearer, even a mixed-blood, they could practice the “Great Xia Empire’s 9th Set of Radio Calisthenics” (White), this cultivation technique.
Even children who had not yet awakened or changed jobs could start learning this technique exclusive to the descendants of Yan Huang from an early age.
The technique could be cultivated up to LV9 (MAX), providing an increase of +9 to all three fundamental attributes.
Don’t underestimate this bonus of +9 to all attributes. Keep in mind that for those who had just awakened and changed jobs, all three fundamental attributes start at +1.
In other words, all children under 18 in the Great Xia Empire were akin to superhumans, completely capable of beating down the whelps from the Coalition of Nations.
This was a case of inherent advantage crushing the competition, and the +9 to all attributes from the cultivation technique provided a benefit in the early novice phase equivalent to wearing several pieces of elite quality green gear.
It ensured an overwhelming advantage for the Yan Huang descendants in the novice phase of being a practitioner!
As for Zi Liyuan now, just by rolling in the sheets once with Number Two and releasing a bout of primal desire, he had comprehended a junior cultivation technique—this was simply too exhilarating!
Keep in mind that no cultivation techniques are sold on the market; their rarity is such that even a junior technique, once it becomes available, is sure to cause countless families and powers to fight tooth and nail for it.
However, as good as cultivation techniques are, they require personal comprehension. If one cannot comprehend them, holding a technique is equivalent to holding trash.
Zi Liyuan’s “Basic Spirit Absorption Technique” was formed through the automatic circulation of Spiritual Power during the awakening of Bloodline Power, which was akin to instinctively learning the technique, hence there was no need to comprehend it from a book.
“Only 1000 experience points to get started, truly befitting a junior technique. Let’s level this up as much as possible!”
There was no shortage of experience points remaining in the experience pool, so leveling up this technique to MAX was not a problem at all.
Therefore, with consecutive clicks, the technique leapt from LV0 novice level to LV10 (MAX) fully maxed out.
A fully maxed out “Basic Spirit Absorption Technique” could altogether increase physical constitution by +20, spirit by +10, spiritual power by +30, and spiritual energy recovery speed by +5%.
The increase in three base attributes would also benefit from promotion rewards amplification and the full attribute enhancement effect of equipment.
Don’t think Zi Liyuan’s increase was significant, but do not forget, this is just the junior technique comprehended at 0.20% awakening of Bloodline Power.
As the awakening progresses and gets higher, wouldn’t it lead to the comprehension of even more advanced techniques?
Zi Liyuan wasn’t at all concerned about whether the awakening of Bloodline Power could continue.
Since Number Two had fallen into his hands, did he really seem to give her a chance to flee?
He could unequivocally state that he could offer conditions she simply couldn’t refuse!
His main leverage was the promise of a full Lord’s Heart supply!
Given Number Two’s need for a Lord’s Heart to advance her talents, only somebody like him, a newly-rich tycoon, could afford to keep her!
As for other conditions, they could certainly continue being offered, like sets upon sets of silver-hero quality equipment, as well as massive amounts of Dragon Coins.
A newly-rich has to wave around cash extravagantly to conquer both body and heart, right?
