Chapter 36

The Situation Gets More Chaotic
After thinking about it, there would be an energy reserve in his palm at any time in the future. How terrifying would the explosive speed and power of his palm be?
It was a little difficult to open the third acupuncture point and the energy in Song Shi’s body was rapidly depleted.
Song Shi also realized that the early stage of the Nine Yang Divine Technique could not directly absorb the power of heaven and earth. Instead, it refined the Essence Qi in his body at a relatively slow speed.
This was the characteristic of a typical martial arts cultivation technique!
Song Shi immediately tried to circulate the Yang Refinement Art and the Nine Yang Divine Technique at the same time to absorb the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth from the outside world to replenish his consumption.
The energy circulation routes of the two cultivation techniques were different and Song Shi’s control was not tight enough.
As a result, Song Shi died from Qi Deviation, to his expectation.
Song Shi was already used to it. As he died, he familiarized himself with circulating two cultivation techniques at the same time.
With the help of his constantly increasing Comprehension, he only died five times before successfully circulating the two cultivation techniques at the same time.
Then, he tried to circulate the Nine Yang Divine Technique, Yang Refinement Technique and Iron Sand Palm at the same time. The difficulty doubled and he continued to suffer from Qi Deviation while crazily farming his comprehension.
“Ding… You have died ten times from Qi Deviation for the same cultivation technique. You will stop receiving basic rewards. The accumulated rewards can continue to be counted.”
The basic death rewards from cultivating the Yang Refinement Technique and the Iron Sand Palm had stopped!
Even if he cultivated three cultivation techniques at the same time, the Qi Deviation caused by this would be counted as only from one of the techniques.
In other words, Song Shi had to die thirty times to receive the basic reward for the three cultivation techniques.
“I’ve died thirty times this time, but there’s actually no accumulated reward for Comprehension. Is it because my Dao heart is already relatively powerful?”
Song Shi was a little regretful. He then no longer sought death and seriously circulated the three cultivation techniques at the same time.
Among the three cultivation techniques, the Yang Refinement Technique refined the power of heaven and earth, the Iron Sand Palm cultivated the palms and the Nine Yang Divine Technique combined the power of the first two and opened new acupuncture points.
This also caused his Lower Dantian’s Spiritual Energy and his Middle Dantian’s Genuine Qi to be maintained at the same level. This was like how the two originally separated ditches had been dug open and the height of the water had become the same for both.
His Spiritual energy and Genuine Qi fused into a new energy.
This was an energy that was in between Genuine Qi and Spiritual energy. Song Shi did not know what to call it, so he simply continued to call the energy left in his lower Dantian, Spiritual Energy. The middle Dantian Spiritual Energy was called Genuine Qi and the energy in the other acupuncture points was called Nine Yang True Energy.
The three cultivation techniques were successfully circulated. At dawn, as wisps of Heaven and Earth Yang energy appeared, Song Shi’s palm lit up.
Boom!
It was as if something had exploded, Song Shi’s temple was successfully opened, causing his aura to immediately surge.
On his palm, a special void was formed. Strands of red energy injected into it, continuously widening the space, as if it was splitting his palm open.
When the Nine Yang Divine Technique reached the late-stage of the first level, it was equivalent to reaching the late-stage Postnatal realm.
Thick Nine Yang Energy circulated in the three acupuncture points in his body, covering his abdomen and right hand. It kept circulating, giving off a warm feeling as if endless energy was constantly growing.
He felt that his ears and eyes were clear and he looked brand new.
“God-level cultivation techniques are indeed different. I feel like my essence, Qi and spirit have all increased by huge levels!”
Song Shi’s eyes sparkled. This was the first time he felt that his physical fitness had improved completely because of his cultivation technique.
This was also under the fact that his Physique and mental strength were already very strong. It was indeed worthy of its name as a divine technique.
He raised his hand and clenched it. A circle of red flames condensed and flickered on his palms with scorching energy fluctuations.
“The Iron Sand Palm only tempers the hands but this Nine Yang Divine Technique directly creates an energy core in the palm of my hand. Who can withstand a slap now?”
Song Shi grinned. He felt that his hand could suppress Big Smart now.
Yes, he would use Big Smart as a unit of measurement in the future.
Song Shi chuckled. Not only had his hands become stronger, but his Genuine Qi had also become richer. The original two single energy cores had become three cores and is one system. The energy system could be said to be of a different level.
Moreover, in the future, no matter which acupuncture point he cultivated, his cultivation would increase. It would almost perfectly resolve the problem of incompatibility between Immortal and Martial Cultivation.
Not only could the three cores increase the speed and total amount of energy, but he could also cultivate an energy core alone to break through to the next realm.
Perfect!
“I wonder if there are any changes to the attributes panel.”
Song Shi opened the system curiously.
…
Race: Human
Spirit: 55.2
Physique: 64.3
Comprehension: 41
Talent: Mid-grade Fire Spirit Root, Innate Divine Strength, Dao Heart Illumination, Invincible Vajra
Ability: Iron Sand Palm (Minor Accomplishment), Prajna Art (Beginner), Yang Refinement Technique (Fourth Level), Unfettered Hand (Minor Accomplishment), Phantom Image Step (Minor Accomplishment), Nine Yang Divine Technique (First Level)
Energy: Nine Yang True Energy 40
Freedom Attribute Points: 21
Lottery Chance: 0
…
Song Shi’s eyes narrowed.
He had only cultivated to the second level, but his mental strength had increased by 2.1 points, his Physique had increased by 23.8 points and his Comprehension had increased slightly too!
This meant that his previous martial arts and even the attributes added by the system had not reached the second level of the Nine Yang Divine Technique.
This was only the effect of cultivating in the middle of the night. He felt that if he continued cultivating, he could continuously increase his essence, Qi, and Spirit!
He estimated that it would definitely not be a problem to raise his Physique to 100 points by the time he reached the second level.
As for the original Fire Spiritual Energy and Genuine Qi merging into the Nine Yang True Energy, he was not surprised. This was because it was normal. After the combination of Genuine Qi and Spiritual Energy, he only had one type of energy now.
Satisfied, Song Shi retracted his gaze and got up to go to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Looking at the empty kitchen and recalling the usual lively scene during mealtime, Song Shi sighed in his heart, “Damn it, that Hei Duzi almost made me a lone wolf in this world!”
A burly figure suddenly appeared outside the house and smiled at him.
“Young Master, I’m here to help you light the fire.”
Song Shi pursed his lips, “Are you here to freeload?”
With a flash of the knife, Song Shi picked up the menu and started to cut the vegetables and meat, “The food here is enough for us to eat for a day. It’s good that we can finish the leftover food. Let’s go to a restaurant in the future.”
“I’ll listen to you, Young Master.”
Big Smart ran over to start a fire. The extremely quiet Song family manor was filled with the smell of smoke and fire.
Song Shi asked expressionlessly, “How many people are still alive at the government office?”
“Other than the old master, Elder Qin, Miss Jia, Miss Bei and the old butler, everyone is dead.”
Big Smart said solemnly.
The kitchen knife in Song Shi’s hand paused. “Oh? So many have died. Are those guards all dead?”
“Young Master, you don’t know what happened. Last night, that thief sent evil spirits to ambush the government office. Two of the Black Iron Guards died, and we were almost wiped out. If not for a female immortal descending from the sky to force the evil spirits back, we might not have survived.”
Big Smart recalled fearfully about what happened last night.
“In that case, your place isn’t any safer than mine. Where did this Hei Duzi get so many minions that can fight on multiple fronts?”
Song Shi frowned. From Wuchen Zi, he learned that the magistrate had also died last night.
Overnight, he killed a magistrate, attacked the government office and even came to this manor to kill the remaining living people…
This Hei Duzi definitely had helpers!
Song Shi confirmed one thing and understood that Wuchen Zi did not come for no reason.
The situation in Silken City was becoming more and more chaotic.
