Ye Yan felt as if a thousand alpacas had run across his mind. He was still in a blur, but the main image of the technique had already been recorded. Looking at the third grid that was emitting golden light and couldn't be edited, he wanted to cry but had no tears.
As such, he had no choice but to look at the requirement for the fourth grid. However, the grid with only one chain made him simply confused.
"Since the main image is already so casual, why don't I just place something in randomly?"
A strange thought rose in his mind, and Ye Yan looked at the root willow. Perhaps the extraordinary willow tree would produce a wonderful reaction when coupled with the strange grid?
After making up his mind, Ye Yan immediately broke a willow branch and moved it to the fourth grid. Boom! The next moment, the panel shook violently. The fourth grid shone with golden light, which seemed to be more intense than the first three.
"It's the right move!" Ye Yan was happy.
[All the materials are ready. The smelting begins!]
The golden light dimmed, and the system began to smelt the Dharmic technique. Then, a series of clanking sounds rang out, like a wheel on a gambling table spinning at high speed.
The sound was sometimes high and sometimes low, reverberating in Ye Yan's mind. He didn't know why, but he felt very comfortable as if he was listening to Holy music. It didn't take long for the clanking sounds to die down. The items in the four grids were gone, and a book with golden threads appeared in the middle grid where there had been the image of a book!
[Ding! The God-slaying Sect's Dharmic technique, Willow Heaven and Earth, has been successfully refined. Grade: A+.]
[Do you wish to establish it as the sect's main Dharmic technique?]
[Note: After choosing, you can change the technique in the future.]
A+! Looking at the data, Ye Yan's breathing quickened. Above A, there must be S or even SS-grade techniques! It was good enough to get an A+ grade technique on his first try. A large part of it was probably due to the root willow.
"Confirm," Ye Yan clicked on the "confirm" button without hesitation. No matter what, it was an A+ grade Dharmic technique, which was good enough for now. Besides, he could replace it at any time if he got better ones in the future, so he wouldn't lose out anyway.
[The God-slaying Sect's technique, Willow Heaven and Earth, has been distributed. Please check it in the internal storage yourself.]
A small red dot appeared on the upper right corner of the internal storage system. Ye Yan clicked on it and sure enough, the technique was already inside. Before he went to find Chen Geng, he wanted to see what the technique looked like.
With a thought, the technique in the internal storage trembled, then appeared in front of him with a clang. How human-friendly! After praising the system, Ye Yan couldn't wait to flip open the Dharmic technique.
"The clouds form the sky, held by righteousness. It's as soft as cotton, able to support 10000 kilograms..."
Only one line was reflected in his eyes and the line seemed to be spoken in a celestial voice. Ye Yan seemed to be frozen as the words spun in his mind.
"I don't understand and I don't know why, but my mind has become much clearer..." He didn't understand the contents. After all, his education had been limited. However, the divine rhythm contained in it seemed to have given him a baptism of heart and soul. In just a few breaths, Ye Yan seemed to have gone through a heart-cleansing and aura-cleansing process. The chaos in his mind was mostly gone, and he seemed much more energetic.
Without wasting any time, he flipped through a few pages and found that the content at the back was not as profound as the first line. They were simple teachings on how to cultivate, such as breathing techniques.
"Now wonder all Dao cultivators yearn to become celestials so much..." Ye Yan was a little surprised, "I've changed so much just by looking at it. If I can master the technique..."
Many methods and realms were introduced in the technique, and breaking through each realm would give one a heaven-defying skill. If one could master it, one might just become a true celestial or god.
Ye Yan tried the breathing technique according to the first chapter to reach the state of the human-nature connection. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed. Perhaps it was because he didn't have enough insight. After all, celestial cultivation required a lot of time.
But this made Ye Yan depressed, "I'm the sect master, and every day, I have to play with my birds, walk my dog, and tease... Ahem. I'm so busy, it really delays my cultivation."
However, as the sect master, he couldn't be powerless. Otherwise, it would be terrible if he couldn't even control his subordinates in the future. Since the system was so omnipotent, it should have a way to help him cultivate, right?
[Ding! The system has detected the host's trust in the system. The system is thus introducing the cultivation function now. Please check it out by yourself.]
Hearing the system's words, Ye Yan's eyes twitched, "The system is so humane. My good system is such a timely rain!"
He quickly opened the cultivation panel, and his panel automatically popped up with a few more lines of data.
[Host: Ye Yan]
[Bone Age: 10 years]
[Physical State: healthy]
[Aptitude: Son of Heaven's Secrets]
[Items: None]
[Skills: None]
[Technique: Willow Heaven and Earth]
[Cultivation: 1/100 (mortal, no realm)]
[Note: The automatic cultivation function has not been activated yet. Please take care of it in the future. ]
Obviously, he was very satisfied with the system's evaluation of his aptitude. Son of Heaven's Secrets! Although he didn't know what it meant, it seemed very powerful.
"Not bad, not bad. System, you are quite smart. Hahaha!" Now, Ye Yan found the system increasingly pleasing to the eye.
[Ding! Due to the host's strong desire to improve (doge.jpg), the automatic cultivation function has been introduced. Do you want to activate it?]
[Note: Consume one spirit stone per day for cultivation after activation. Limited to the Qi-forging Realm!]
Wow! One spirit stone to automatically cultivate for an entire day! And this would work for the entire Qi-forging Realm! With that, Ye Yan directly used a spirit stone to start his cultivation.
Ye Yan felt that this function was great! Even though he did not know what the Qi-forging Realm was, at least it meant that he would not have to worry about his cultivation for a long time! However, the key was the spirit stones. He only had a few now, and it was far from enough. He had to find a way to get more.
[Ding! The system store is open. The host can use special exchange coins to exchange for supplies.]
[Ding! The system has issued a mission: The Moon should be surrounded by stars. Where are the sect master's companions?]
[Mission Details: find a companion 0/1]
Not bad, the system was so kind! It was so good to him, giving him help whenever he need it! With that, Ye Yan wasn't in a hurry to shop in the system store. Instead, he packed up and ran down the mountain.
He had to complete the mission first. The target was Chen Geng. After all, Chen Geng was just an ordinary person. The other party did not have a cultivation shortcut as he did. He had to let him step into the path of cultivation as soon as possible.
At the Chen family residence, the hot weather caused the pigs to groan continuously in the pigpen in the backyard. Swill and grains mixed and gave off an extremely unpleasant smell. The thin and small Chen Geng was cleaning the pigpen alone, serving the group of pigs.
"I wonder how Brother Yan's matter is going. What's a sect like?" While he was working, Ye Yan's figure appeared in his mind, and he was a little absent-minded.
"Hey! Geng! It's done!" Suddenly, a voice from outside the wall pulled Chen Geng back from his thoughts. When he saw the person, his expression became happy.
"Brother Yan!" He said in a low voice.
Ye Yan climbed down the wall and walked toward Chen Geng, "Come with me to the mountain!"
"Wait!" Chen Geng quickly made a shushing expression, "I have to clean up the pigpen, or grandpa will whip me!
"Tsk, troublesome!" Ye Yan couldn't wait, so he rolled up his sleeves and cleaned up with Chen Geng.
