Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction
Chapter 61 - 52: Cultivation Technique Realm

Chapter 61: Chapter 52: Cultivation Technique Realm

On that day, Pan Xuncheng, with a few men, kept fleeing, only to be ambushed again by the bandits taking a shortcut.

Both parties had to fight again, but the result was unexpected.

Though the bandits intercepted the convoy again, somehow, without further support, the convoy regained the upper hand, gradually cutting down the bandit leaders one by one.

After some discussion, the convoy divided into two groups: one turned back to find where the goods were taken, and the other returned to the Tian family for help.

The rescue team arranged by the Tian family hadn’t reached the scene when those searching for the goods had already reassembled the convoy and transported the goods back to Yanghua Town.

It turned out that the tracking team found the goods, waited a day or two without seeing any other bandits come to support. They decided to reclaim the goods, and after easily cutting down the lackeys guarding the convoy, they faced almost no resistance.

Such a situation was indeed baffling.

At the feast, Lin Yuan naturally understood the reason within.

The bandit leaders Ma Jinfu and Mao Laos were both killed by his fists. They had likely long become droppings of carnivores in the mountains, so how could they assist other bandits?

But Lin Yuan wouldn’t explain it now; knowing it himself was enough.

By the time these things were discussed, a few were already full from the feast.

Lin Yuan and Xie Wanxin no longer lingered, stood up, and bid farewell.

The two left together, heading towards the academy.

In the box.

After Lin Yuan and Xie Wanxin left, a person emerged from the back hall of the box.

The visitor looked disgruntled and said, "Third Brother, this Xie Wanxin is so domineering. He put someone into our Tian family’s convoy, and now with Lin Yuan in danger, our Tian family is expected to compensate. The guest elder left the convoy when things went south, where’s the sense in that?"

The Tian shopkeeper, upon hearing this, also sighed slightly.

"Fourth, I originally thought that sending Lin Yuan a cauldron would suffice, but the Family Head hurriedly sent a cultivation technique. You must understand the weight of that."

"Just received news from the Family Head. Yesterday, Hou Sixian killed Fu Feng Sect’s master Qiao Yongsi on Changyin Mountain."

"That’s the renowned Qiao Yongsi, at the late condensation stage. Hou Sixian killed Qiao Yongsi in front of many Fu Feng Sect members."

"Now the disciples of the Fu Feng Sect have scattered like birds and beasts, and the entire Fu Feng Sect has become a passing cloud."

"Hence, no matter how domineering Xie Wanxin is, we have no choice but to accept it. Moreover, it’s just trifling goods."

"But with Lin Yuan having received our Tian family’s cultivation technique, he’s ultimately a hidden danger. We can’t offend Xie Wanxin, and should we provoke such a lowly chores disciple? If there’s any entanglement with our Tian family later on, wouldn’t it be a loss? Better to get rid of him to prevent future troubles." Tian Laosi’s eyes were cold and severe.

"Forget it, unless absolutely necessary, we can’t do that; otherwise, if Xie Wanxin learns of it, the risk is too high. If Lin Yuan starts acting out, then naturally he can’t be left." The Tian shopkeeper, after all, remained composed, not as impulsive as Tian Laosi.

But the hidden murderous intent in the voice couldn’t be ignored.

On the other side, Lin Yuan was walking with Xie Wanxin.

He had many questions about martial arts advancement in his mind that needed answers.

The academy’s teaching of martial arts to commoner disciples like him was rather perfunctory, leaving him clueless about how to proceed afterwards.

The two found a pavilion to sit down in, looking at the distant mountain view, which broadened their minds a bit.

"Senior Brother Xie, how is the hierarchy of martial arts in the Qi-Blood realm distinguished? I noticed the black-robed disciples seem to vary in strength." Taking the chance with Xie Wanxin, Lin Yuan immediately asked his nagging question.

"The hierarchy in the Qi-Blood realm is naturally distinguished by the amount of Qi-Blood," Xie Wanxin explained, knowing that Lin Yuan rarely had the opportunity to encounter such matters, he shared his knowledge wholeheartedly.

"The level of Qi-Blood involves the quality of the martial cultivation technique. Like your Eight-step Breaking Fist, it’s an ordinary blood-strengthening cultivation technique. Even at a perfect level, it only has eight main meridians to circulate Qi-Blood."

"The better the cultivation technique, the more Qi-Blood it can transport and store. Like my Swimming Dragon Fist can reach fourteen main meridians at its perfected level. Comparatively, it’s nearly double the Qi-Blood force of the Eight-step Breaking Fist."

"So, the more main meridians that circulate Qi-Blood, the stronger the martial ability?" Lin Yuan realized, gaining clarity.

"Indeed, the deeper the foundation, the more Qi-Blood can be accumulated. Since Eight-step Breaking Fist is an ordinary level technique, with a maximum of eight main meridians, many switch to another technique after becoming elite disciples."

"Simultaneously cultivate two techniques?" Lin Yuan thought of the Little Dragon Tiger Tongbei Fist in his possession, feeling an inexplicable urge rising from within.

Ever since he obtained the Little Dragon Tiger Tongbei Fist, he had hesitated on whether to continue practicing, fearing a clash in Qi-Blood circulation.

Now hearing this, simultaneous cultivation of two techniques could further enhance martial status.

How could this not excite him? If he perfected both martial skills he had, to what level could he reach?

"Yes. Regular chores disciples practicing Eight-step Breaking Fist will switch to a higher cultivation technique after donning the black robe." Seeing Lin Yuan’s interest, Xie Wanxin continued.

"With both techniques perfected, wouldn’t the Qi-Blood accumulation be double or even triple that of regular chores?" Lin Yuan was shaken thinking of this possibility.

No wonder elite disciples have prowess far superior to chores disciples.

Having fulfilled both techniques to perfection, the Qi-Blood accumulation is in a completely different league, effortlessly overwhelming despite efforts.

"Two or three times the Qi-Blood is a bit exaggerated. Usually, it’s about double, and that makes a skilled individual. Naturally, those with exceptional talent are an exception." Xie Wanxin shook his head.

"Why is that?" Lin Yuan asked, puzzled.

"First, not everyone can cultivate a technique to the perfect state. Achieving perfection in one technique demands high talent and strength, few can manage it."

"Secondly, although techniques differ, the main meridians they utilize might overlap. For example, your Eight-step Breaking Fist and my Swimming Dragon Fist share four meridian paths."

"If I perfected both the Swimming Dragon Fist and Eight-step Breaking Fist, the main meridians for my Qi-Blood would only be eighteen, not twenty-two."

"Are there many elite disciples with two perfected techniques?"

Lin Yuan cast his gaze afar, also recalling the disciple he had defeated during mountain patrol, curious about comparisons.

"Perfecting two techniques takes immense effort, truly difficult." Xie Wanxin stood up, looking at the distant sunset, contemplated, then shook his head, "About one in twenty, perhaps."

"Can all Body Tempering techniques in the Qi-Blood realm be mastered in multiple numbers? Like skin refining, bone refining techniques, or even tendon changing, can these be practiced more than twice?"

"Yes. Hahaha, I knew you have big aspirations." Xie Wanxin laughed heartily as he remarked.

Lin Yuan, having confirmed his answer, felt the surging emotions in his heart settle once more.

"This question has puzzled me for long; today, obtaining the Spirit Turtle Eight Diagrams Defense, I had my guesses, and it seems my thoughts were correct."

"Yes, there’s ostensibly no limit to the number of techniques you can practice, but human endurance is limited." Xie Wanxin gathered his mirth, earnestly cautioning, "Brother, it’s best to set aside the Spirit Turtle Eight Diagrams Defense you’ve obtained today until you become an elite disciple. Otherwise, with insufficient cultivation resources, you’ll be stuck at the chores disciple level."

"Rest assured, Senior Brother Xie, I clearly understand the principle of not being greedy beyond capacity." Lin Yuan acknowledged Xie Wanxin’s kind reminder.

He reckoned Xie Wanxin wasn’t aware of his true strength, and there was no need for him to boast, so he nonchalantly replied.

"The academy’s chores disciples structure is really a controlled system to filter out the true elite disciples." The sunset reflected in Xie Wanxin’s eyes, imbued his tone with a hint of nostalgia.

"The Pei and Hong families at the top control almost all resources. Whether academy disciples seek pills or cultivation techniques, the shadows of these two families are inescapable."

"I’d love to hear more." Lin Yuan’s interest was piqued again.

He was keenly aware of the current state in Yanghua but lacked the status channel for definitive information.

Xie Wanxin’s explanation came just in time for a clear understanding.
