Cultivation Technique?

  Li Qinghai was a bit curious and picked it up for a glance.

  "The True Flame Technique of Samadhi"!

  Although Li Qinghai didn't know what grade this manual was, just from the name, it seemed quite extraordinary.

  Li Qinghai placed the cultivation technique back on the table.

  "Dao Companion Beixue, this technique is a bit too precious."

  "Take it, I hope it will help you in the future."

  "Thank you, Dao Companion Beixue."

  Li Qinghai dared not refuse further. Previously, when he declined a Qi Condensing Elixir from Lu Beixue, the Book of Good Fortune took away his Child of Fortune status. So, he could only accept this technique with a thick skin.

  After accepting it, Li Qinghai felt quite awkward. As a pauper, he seemed to have nothing to offer in return. The only valuable thing he had was the Azure Cloud Sword Technique, but it was only suitable for cultivators with the five elemental roots of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It wasn't suitable for someone like Lu Beixue, who had the rare ice spiritual root.

  Sigh...

  I, Li Qinghai, have actually become a kept man. I'll give Lu Beixue something nice in the future. If I don't repay this favor, my Dao heart won't be stable.

  Li Qinghai put the "True Flame Technique of Samadhi" into his storage bag and then heard Lu Beixue continue speaking.

  "Dao Companion Qinghai, do you have any difficulties in cultivation?"

  "Not really, everything's been going smoothly."

  "Then, Dao Companion Qinghai, is there anything else you need?"

  Li Qinghai was taken aback, "Dao Companion Beixue, you seem a bit strange today. Is there something on your mind?"

  Lu Beixue smiled sweetly, "Dao Companion Qinghai, you're overthinking. What could be on my mind? You know, I have a high master protecting my path, so even if something happens, it can be easily resolved."

  Li Qinghai nodded slightly. He knew the high master Lu Beixue mentioned was the old lady from Morning Cultivation Mountain. With her around, Lu Beixue indeed had no worries in her cultivation. But Li Qinghai still felt something was off.

  The two chatted about other things for a while. Lu Beixue wasn't much of a conversationalist, often bringing the conversation to a halt. Fortunately, Li Qinghai was well-versed in many topics and could keep the conversation going.

  Lu Beixue found everything Li Qinghai talked about to be very interesting. However, happy times always pass quickly, and before they knew it, it was already dark outside.

  Lu Beixue stood up, "Dao Companion Qinghai, I enjoyed visiting the Green Bamboo Residence today."

  "As long as Dao Companion Beixue is happy, it means my hospitality was adequate."

  "I won't disturb your rest any longer, I'm leaving now."

  "Alright, I'll see you off, Dao Companion Beixue."

  Li Qinghai escorted Lu Beixue to the door. They exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Lu Beixue left on her sword.

  In the sky, the silent Golden Elixir Granny suddenly spoke.

  "You've given my cultivation technique to Li Qinghai. Don't forget our agreement after the competition ends."

  "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten."

  ...

  Li Qinghai had no idea what agreement Lu Beixue had with the Golden Elixir Granny. To him, Lu Beixue seemed very strange today. However, when he tried to probe, Lu Beixue clearly didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't press further.

  After seeing Lu Beixue off, Li Qinghai returned inside, sat cross-legged on his bed, and took out the cultivation technique Lu Beixue had given him.

  "The True Flame Technique of Samadhi"!

  According to Lu Beixue, learning it would help him get into the top ten of the competition. It was clear this manual was quite powerful. So, he decided to give it a try.

  Li Qinghai opened the manual and began to study it carefully. After about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, he had a preliminary understanding of the "True Flame Technique of Samadhi."

  It was a fire-based cultivation technique with five levels.

  Qi Refining to refine internal fire.

  Foundation Establishment to cultivate earth fire.

  Core Formation to form true fire.

  Elemental Infant to merge two samadhis.

  Divine Transformation to transform into three samadhis!

  It was a cultivation technique with great potential!

  Divine Transformation was still too far off for Li Qinghai. For now, he would focus on refining internal fire. Having another technique would naturally give him an advantage in the competition.

  Li Qinghai took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distractions, and began refining internal fire according to the method in the manual. The key to refining internal fire was having a fire spiritual root, which wasn't a problem for Li Qinghai, who had mixed spiritual roots. The advantage of mixed roots was the ability to learn anything, though the disadvantage was slow progress, leading to a lack of mastery in anything.

  Li Qinghai was no longer a novice in cultivation and was well aware of this issue. However, he didn't realize that because of the Five Element Longevity Scroll, his cultivation speed wasn't actually slow. He was simply unaware of his own fortune and considered himself a weakling, naturally seeing himself as a novice.

  Ten days passed, and Li Qinghai had made some progress in the "True Flame Technique of Samadhi." He had already cultivated the so-called internal fire in his dantian. To his surprise, the internal fire also had the effect of tempering spiritual energy. Under the roasting of the internal fire, the spiritual energy became purer, like forging iron, continuously refining the spiritual energy.

  Of course, this effect was minimal. In Li Qinghai's direct comparison, even a day's tempering couldn't match the speed of circulating the Longevity Scroll for one great cycle. If the Golden Elixir Granny knew Li Qinghai thought this way, she would surely scold him on the spot. After all, many geniuses had to use various means to temper their spiritual energy and lay a solid foundation. Having a secret technique like the "True Flame Technique of Samadhi" for tempering was already a rare fortune, yet he dared to complain!

  But it wasn't entirely Li Qinghai's fault. The Five Element Longevity Scroll was simply too formidable. Compared to it, the "True Flame Technique of Samadhi" naturally seemed weaker.

  Unaware of this, Li Qinghai went outside the Green Bamboo Residence to test the power of his newly learned technique. Standing on an open ground, he decided to try it on a large tree opposite him.

  Li Qinghai took a deep breath and formed a small hand seal. The internal fire in his dantian surged, separating a wisp of flame. The flame merged with the spiritual energy in his dantian, which then flowed to his palm under his guidance. The spiritual energy gathered in his palm, forming a fist-sized fireball. Theoretically, the longer he concentrated, the bigger the fireball would become. But since it was just an experiment, Li Qinghai didn't want to waste extra spiritual energy. So he immediately raised his arm and pushed forward.

  Whoosh!

  The small fireball whistled through the air.

  Boom!

  The small fireball hit the trunk of the large tree in front, charring it black. Using only ten percent of his spiritual energy, it had such power, and Li Qinghai was quite satisfied.

  "Another card up my sleeve in combat, not bad at all!"
