However, even with tens of thousands of Cultivation Techniques in the world, it was exceedingly difficult for cultivators to find one that suited them. If the technique was not a good fit, even if there was some benefit in the early stages, cultivation would become increasingly arduous later on. Many people lacked a foundation in the beginning and could only cultivate techniques that were not right for them until they found an opportunity to switch to one that was more suitable.
However, time was inevitably wasted, and many powerful techniques often had numerous restrictions, like the Green Wood Technique practiced by Fang Yuxin, which required a Pure Wood Spirit Body and was extremely demanding.
Therefore, even though many cultivators later came across opportunities to cultivate techniques that suited them, very few ever achieved great success.
