Martial Arts: I Have a Wilderness World

Chapter 614: Chapter 317: Divine Dao Technique? Digging a Hole

"My Lord. This little shop is probably about to be upgraded."

Just then, Luo Dingran offered a reminder.

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang couldn’t help but look at the counter. Soon, the transaction volume progress appeared.

——Upgrade: 1,170,000 / 1,200,000

"Another thirty thousand to go." Cheng Zongyang’s eyes lit up, and he glanced at the items currently on consignment.

The most numerous item was Wilderness Rice, followed by Red Blood Pills, but those were the only two.

"Is there nothing else to sell?" Cheng Zongyang looked at Luo Dingran.

Luo Dingran nodded. "The Spirit Rice, Ice and Fire Spirits, and other such items sold out long ago. We’ve basically sold everything we can. Of course, there is one new item. Old Zhang’s research on the Spiritual Liquid should be succeeding soon. When it does, we’ll have a new item to sell."

"That’s good." He was aware of this but wasn’t particularly anxious.

If the research into plant-based Spiritual Liquid succeeded, it would be extremely beneficial for the development of many Spirit Plants.

"How is your Cultivation progressing?" Cheng Zongyang looked at Luo Dingran.

Luo Dingran shook his head slightly. "With the help of a large amount of Elixirs, my Cultivation has reached the Third Grade. However, I forgot to mention something—Ding Xing’s Cultivation is a bit strange."

Cheng Zongyang was puzzled. "What’s the situation?"

Luo Dingran said, "His Cultivation is progressing at an unexpected rate. He hasn’t intentionally practiced Cultivation or consumed any Elixirs, yet his Cultivation has already reached the Third Grade, same as mine. According to what you’ve said about everyone’s individual status, he only has Three Spirit Bones, one fewer than I do."

This made Cheng Zongyang extremely curious, and he immediately headed for the Book Workshop.

It was no different than usual; Ding Xing was still in the courtyard pavilion, quietly reading a book.

Hearing the commotion outside, Ding Xing looked up. When he saw it was Cheng Zongyang, he quickly put down his book and went to greet him.

"Greetings, My Lord." Ding Xing bowed with clasped hands.

"No need for formalities." Cheng Zongyang said, looking at Ding Xing and pulling up his Attribute Interface.

Looking at Ding Xing’s Attribute Interface, Cheng Zongyang was also a bit stunned.

"This Celestial Human Health Cultivation Skill... When did you master it?"

He had read the Health Cultivation Skill from the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor countless times before but had never been able to even begin learning it.

He never imagined Ding Xing would have already achieved mastery. Not only had he learned it, but Ding Xing’s four main Attributes were also astonishing.

Cheng Zongyang knew clearly that these stats were already maxed out for the Third Grade Realm, with Agility being the highest.

He also understood that the Agility here definitely didn’t refer to how fast Ding Xing could walk, but rather the reaction speed of his mind and his level of intelligence. In other words, Ding Xing was now a person of incredibly high intellect.

"My Lord, I first began learning it two months ago."

Ding Xing seemed to understand why Cheng Zongyang and Luo Dingran were there and took the initiative to explain,

"Two months ago, my Cultivation was at the Sixth Grade. That was when I happened to grasp the basics of the Health Cultivation Skill. From that point on, it was as if I’d been enlightened, and my comprehension of the Cultivation Technique grew deeper and deeper. And for some reason, my own vitality and strength also began to increase rapidly, which is why my progress has been so astonishing."

’The Celestial Human Health Cultivation Skill actually has this kind of effect?’

Cheng Zongyang was incredibly surprised. But then he recalled the contents of the Health Cultivation Skill, which mentioned it could enhance and improve one’s Physique, Strengthen the Foundation and Nourish the Essence, and boost one’s vitality. He figured that after Ding Xing thoroughly comprehended this Health Cultivation Skill, all its various effects began to manifest as he practiced it.

"The five hundred Points for the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor were truly worth it for this Celestial Human Health Cultivation Skill. The fact that you could master it proves this Health Cultivation Skill is useful. Very good." Cheng Zongyang smiled. Ding Xing’s ability to comprehend the Health Cultivation Skill was inseparable from his Talents.

’With Outstanding Comprehension plus Enlightenment, a double buff, probably no one can match Ding Xing’s comprehension.’

But Ding Xing said, "My Lord, this Health Cultivation Skill is rather special. After I achieved Enlightenment, I realized this Health Cultivation Skill is not like a Martial Arts Technique, nor is it like a Cultivation Immortality Technique. It’s more like a Daoist Skill! It doesn’t increase combat power like Martial Arts, nor does it grant the methods of a Cultivator. Everything relies on comprehension. Every time I read it, I gain new insights, sometimes even sudden epiphanies. That’s how I’ve been able to improve like this."

At this, Cheng Zongyang’s expression turned serious.

"Are you sure it’s a Daoist Skill?"

He hadn’t forgotten that Divine Daoists had once existed in the Wilderness World.

Ding Xing nodded. "Yes. If there comes a moment of true, great Enlightenment, I’m afraid I might bypass the so-called Second and First Grades at any time and directly enter the Innate Realm. This Realm is just a reflection of my physical condition; in reality, I have no combat power at all."

Cheng Zongyang nodded, understanding Ding Xing’s meaning. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then continue your research. Let’s see what kind of state you can reach in the future."

"Yes, My Lord." Ding Xing clasped his hands.

Cheng Zongyang didn’t disturb his reading any further and left the Book Workshop with Luo Dingran.

"My Lord, do you think he’ll become a Divine Daoist?" Luo Dingran asked after they left the Book Workshop.

Cheng Zongyang shook his head slightly. "I’m not sure yet. The path of a Divine Daoist is completely different from that of a Cultivator. But Ding Xing’s current situation does seem to be heading in the direction of a Divine Daoist. We’ll just have to wait and see. Perhaps he’ll be the first among you to step into the Extraordinary Realm."

He also wanted to see which path Ding Xing would ultimately take. He would not interfere with that.

Divine Daoists have the Divine Abilities of the Divine Dao, while Cultivators have the methods of Cultivation Immortality. Their Cultivation processes are also completely different.
