Ba Cang Jing Ge

  "But I've made rapid progress in cultivating the 'Shenshui Xinjing', and now I'm already at the fifth level of Qi refinement. I'll be breaking through to the sixth level soon." Liu Bo explained.

  Liu Feilong was shocked upon hearing this and said: "Bo'er, wasn't your cultivation at the third layer of Qi training when I left? How did you make such rapid progress in such a short period of time?"

  "So I think, I shouldn't change my kung fu method after all. After cultivating the 'Shan Shui Xin Jing' kung fu method for so many years, I've already gotten used to it and have achieved very good results. Even if I had cultivated fire-type kung fu from the beginning, I don't think I would necessarily be at my current level of attainment." Liu Bo replied.

  Concealing the surprise in his heart, Liu Feilong's voice trembled as he said: "Bo'er, you must still have a Water Spirit Root; otherwise, the water-based cultivation method wouldn't have such rapid progress. Adding our bloodline's Fire Spirit Root, Bo'er, you now possess both Water and Fire Dual Spirit Roots!"

  "Father, even if I had the Water and Fire Double Spirit Root, you don't have to be so excited, do you?" Liu Bo was puzzled by Liu Fei Long's unusual loss of composure.

  "How can I not be excited? You have to know that the spiritual root is an innate gift, and even a difference of one rank is a world apart. What more can be said about having multiple spiritual roots?! This is a huge surprise, something that even immortals can't get! Although we are a family of noble blood, most people only have a single fire spiritual root, and the quality is usually not high. You're still at too low a level to understand, but when you reach the Manifestation stage, you'll be able to personally experience the benefits of having multiple spiritual roots. Your old man only has a single fire spiritual root, but its quality is quite high - it's a seventh-rank fire spiritual root, and that alone earned me the reputation as a genius. Think about it, you have multiple spiritual roots - what a huge surprise!"

  Listening to Liu Feilong's detailed explanation, Liu Bo was also surprised in his heart, but after all, he didn't have a deep understanding and wouldn't be as excited as him. Instead, he joked with Liu Feilong: "So, Father is actually a cultivation genius of the Liu family? Why haven't I ever heard you mention it before? If I had known earlier, I would have more bragging rights. Since a seventh-grade spiritual root is already considered a genius, then ninth-grade, super-grade, and even spiritual bodies must be extremely rare, right?"

  It's rare to see my son so happy, and Liu Feilong, who is usually calm and composed, also said with a smile: "Of course, your old man is the first genius of the fourth generation of the Liu family. I'm just used to being low-key. Generally, cultivators have single-attribute spiritual roots that are one to three grades, four to six grades are considered good talent, seven grades can be considered geniuses, eight grades are super geniuses, and nine-grade spiritual roots are extremely rare. As for super-grade spiritual roots or even spiritual bodies, they are legendary existences. I believe that you, Bo'er, not only have dual-attribute spiritual roots, but the grade of your spiritual root is also good, otherwise, you wouldn't have made such rapid progress in a short period. Before the manifestation period, it's impossible to detect the attributes and grades of spiritual roots, but looking at the cultivation progress can still reveal some clues."

  "Father, since you've determined that I have the dual spiritual roots of water and fire, how should I cultivate more reasonably?" Liu Bo asked seriously.

  "Since you have achieved such a high level in 'Shan Shui Xin Jing', you absolutely cannot give up and must continue to cultivate. But the advantage of the bloodline transmission of Huo Ling Gen should be utilized, why don't you also cultivate a fire-based seventh-grade technique 'Xuan Bing Han Yan'. Although 'Xuan Bing Han Yan' is a fire-based technique, it has a rare cold flame attribute, which will not conflict with your cultivation of 'Shan Shui Xin Jing', but rather have a complementary effect. Moreover, the matching seventh-grade martial skill 'Bing Yan Jian Zhi' is also a powerful and sharp technique, which can be used in conjunction with the 'Water Yu Shi Ba Shi' you have already cultivated, to achieve both offense and defense. And 'Xuan Bing Han Yan' and 'Bing Yan Jian Zhi' do not require any innate talent, making them absolutely suitable for your cultivation. You can also choose a movement technique from the Cang Jing Ge, these few techniques will be your main focus of study in the future. You can also choose a few more martial skills that suit you as references to broaden your horizons, but only need to have a rough understanding, beware not to delve too deeply and disperse your energy, becoming a jack-of-all-trades but master of none. One must know that it's better to specialize in one thing than to be mediocre in many things, human energy is limited, during the Qi cultivation stage, the most important thing is still to diligently cultivate techniques, accelerate progress, and only cultivate martial skills on the condition that they do not occupy the time for cultivating techniques, otherwise, it would be a case of misplaced priorities." Liu Fei Long said with deep concern.

  The Liu Fu's Zang Jing Ge is a four-story pavilion, the fourth floor holds all the exercises, martial arts and spiritual techniques above the Condensing Spirit period, the third floor holds the exercises, martial arts and spiritual techniques of the Condensing Spirit period, the second floor holds all the exercises, martial arts and spiritual techniques of the Cultivating Qi period, and the first floor is for borrowing and temporary reading.

  Liu Bo arrived at the Scripture Pavilion early in the morning, preparing to borrow "Xuan Bing Han Yan" and "Bing Yan Jian Zhi" two books, and choose a body method and several auxiliary martial skills.

  The manager of the scripture pavilion is an old servant of the Liu family, although he is a servant, but his status in the Liu family is not low, even Liu Bo's father, Liu Feilong, has to address him politely as Old Liu.

  Liu Bo entered the scripture hall and saw the old servant sitting in front of the desk with his eyes closed. He walked steadily to the desk and said respectfully, "Liu Bo has seen Liu Lao."

  The old servant heard this, slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed from the bottom of his eyes. He said: "Young Master Bo has come to borrow books again. Go up and check for yourself. It's still the old rules. Miscellaneous books can be taken away, but skill and martial arts books can only be read in the pavilion and cannot be taken away."

  Liu Bo went up to the second floor, first finding "Xuan Bing Han Yan" in the Gong Fa category area, then came to the Wu Ji category area to find "Bing Yan Jian Zhi", and finally came to the Shen Fa category area for a detailed examination.

  There are dozens of types of martial arts, Liu Bo carefully selected five: "Rapid Electric Body Method", "Wind Following Steps", "Snow Dance Body Method", "Cloud Drifting Mist Surrounding" and "Phantom Footprints".

  After reading through all of them carefully, he chose "Cloud Drifting and Fog Wandering" as his main cultivation method from now on. After some thought, he also left behind "Rapid Electric Body Method" for reference.

  "Cloud Drifting and Fog Surrounding" is a comprehensive six-style body technique that encompasses speed, transformation, and turning, so Liu Bo chose it as his main body technique. The six-style "Rapid Thunder Body Technique", as its name suggests, particularly emphasizes the word "fast". Liu Bo believes that "speed" is the most important element in body techniques, so he chose it as his auxiliary body technique.

  Having chosen his body method, Liu Bo carefully studied each of the martial techniques in the martial skills area. In the end, he also selected three more martial techniques as supplementary skills for later use. They were "Breaking Heaven Strike", "Drizzle Sword Following the Wind" and "Shadowless Needle".

  Among them, "Broken Sky Strike" is the most important secret technique of Liu Bo, without specifying the level of the secret technique, and there are no talent requirements for cultivating this secret technique.

  This secret technique, although named "Breaking Heaven", does not have a specific move, but rather is an extremely complex and mysterious way of manipulating true energy. In theory, for every additional cycle manipulated, the power of the previous cycle is doubled. The first strike of Breaking Heaven is twice as powerful as a normal full-power strike, the second strike is four times as powerful, the third strike is eight times as powerful, and according to records, someone was able to unleash a ninth strike with 512 times the power.

  This was beyond Liu Bo's imagination and it was hard to believe that there would be such a divine technique in the world. If he could cultivate it to the ninth move, what kind of power would it have?
