Chapter 1397: Chapter 417: [The Doctrine of the Hunter]_3

The affinity of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi decreased after I killed the Mayor, an undeserving man to die.

Moreover, from a fate perspective, my luck was somewhat disturbed, though the degree was still very slight.

"Xie Jiuyan once told me an old saying.

He said, ’He who kills, is also killed by others.’

As he said this, Wu smiled wryly, "If someone else had told me this, I would have scoffed, because this is a well-known, but ultimately useless cliché.

But since it was Xie Jiuyan who said this, I couldn’t help but ponder deeply. Thinking carefully, among the people in my line of work... it seems that none had a good end."

Chen Yan did not respond to this.

However, he was secretly contemplating. Killing that Mayor indeed had some negative effects on him.

But for him, the side effects were relatively minor because, to put it metaphorically, he had a strong foundation.

His affinity with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was high, so even a slight weakening, a mere trace, wouldn’t make much difference.

Regarding luck, Chen Yan could also understand his fate, and by doing more fortune-bringing and Heavenly Dao-pleasing things in the future, he could gradually recover the weakened luck.

Cultivators always have certain advantages over ordinary people.

Apparently, Xie Jiuyan did so as well—Xie Jiuyan, that guy, was not lacking in killing either.

But Wu’s words seemed to further confirm Chen Yan’s suspicions!

As a native cultivation genius, Xie Jiuyan was clearly also privy to some secrets of the Heavenly Dao Rules!

In the latter half of the night, as Wu was still in recovery and not fully spirited, he eventually fell asleep again.

Chen Yan took out the "Jade Book" and began flipping through it.

Turning to the first page of the Jade Book, he saw a clear warning line written on the Jade Volume:

Only those of my bloodline can cultivate this strategy; otherwise, all meridians break, and the Dantian and Sea of Consciousness are completely destroyed!

Chen Yan stared at this sentence for a couple of seconds, then smirked and turned to the second page.

A Cultivation Technique, consisting of only seven or eight hundred words. The script was so small that it was a bit challenging to read.

Chen Yan confirmed that this "Jade Book" was indeed a Magical Artifact, albeit one crudely made with extremely rough techniques.

Chen Yan had formally studied Artifact Refining for a period of time.

From his perspective, the craftsmanship of the Jade Book Magical Artifact was like an adult observing a toddler’s handmade craft.

Extremely crude, with extremely rough methods, yet one must admit, it remains a genuine "Magical Artifact" nonetheless!

Xie Jiuyan, that fellow, had probably never studied Artifact Refining, so these must be skills he developed self-taught, learning independently and mastering through exploration.

Skimming through the seven or eight hundred words of the Cultivation Technique only took Chen Yan a moment, but it left him deep in ponder for a long time.

There were no issues with the Cultivation Technique itself, but it remained in the same state: very simple.

This was an improved version based on Xie Jiuyan’s family tradition of Cultivation Techniques.

Evidently, the original version of Xie Jiuyan’s family tradition of Cultivation Techniques must have come from the Domain Realm, similar to Chu Keqing’s Cloud Sect Technique. These were inherited remnants brought to this world by ancient cultivators from the Domain Realm.

Its method for transporting Primordial Qi into the body seemed very average to Chen Yan, at least two levels lower than the Primordial Qi Transportation Technique recorded in the old lady’s Secret Manual he had cultivated before.

However, it uniquely incorporated a method specializing in nurturing the physical body with Primordial Qi!

And this essence-nurturing enforcement evidently surpassed the original Primordial Qi Transportation summary in sophistication many times over!

The most crucial point is that after a single read, Chen Yan didn’t fully comprehend it all! This alone demonstrated its profundity!!

Xie Jiuyan indeed was a genius; the method he created for nurturing the physical body with Primordial Qi was multiple grades superior to the original Cultivation Technique!

It’s like a typical underperforming classroom unexpectedly gaining a top scholar destined for prestigious institutions like Tsinghua or Peking Universities.

It looked utterly incongruous.

Thus, the more Chen Yan examined this Cultivation Technique, the more suspicious he became.

Gradually, Chen Yan’s expression also turned solemn.

·

Chen Yan had encountered countless Cultivation Techniques!

The most advanced, of course, would be the Primordial Qi Transport Technique recorded in the Secret Manual passed to him by the old lady.

And he had seen numerous lower-tier techniques, such as the Cloud Sect Technique cultivated by Chu Keqing.

Yet, regardless of whether they were advanced or basic, they all shared a common feature, which was...

those Cultivation Techniques didn’t separate the "Transportation of Primordial Qi" from "Primordial Qi Nurturing the Physical Body" for independent cultivation!

Taking the Cultivation Technique from the old lady as an example, upon cultivating the Primordial Qi Transport Technique in a standard way, Primordial Qi naturally infused into the body not only elevating cultivation but also naturally nurturing the physical body.

One Cultivation Technique, two effects.

However, the Cultivation Technique left by Xie Jiuyan, rather than being one, seemed like two!

He documented Qi transportation and physical nurturing separately.

Among them, Qi transportation was the original family Cultivation Technique, or slightly improved upon the original.

And the spell for nurturing the physical body, it was entirely his own creation!!

Because the previous Cultivation Techniques Chen Yan practiced involved one technique with dual effects, where the nurturing of the physical body was almost intrinsic to the technique, there was no exposition on its principles, and Chen Yan had always simply practiced it without understanding the underlying reasons.
