Most of the things he had done where optimisation, or general upgrades. But there where a few new things. Starting from the top was his cultivation, he had used his old cultivation method as a bass to make his own entirely original cultivation method.
His new method created various elemental circuits around the body for cultivation. To create each circuit he needed to have a deep understanding of the element and a 'binding' of some kind as foundation for the circuit itself. He curently had earth, air, fire, water, lightning, metal, blood, flesh, bone and nature circuits. Earth, metal, fire, water and lightning where easy to explain, they just came from his original five blessings. The azure dragon for earth, the white tiger for metal, the vermilion bird for fire, the black tortoise for water, and the qilin for lightning.
For air he summoned a silph, a spirit of the wind, and gave them some fruit for a blessing. For blood flesh and bone, that's where the sacrifices came in. He summoned a actual demon, if the head advisor found out about this he would blow a fuse, killed it, then sacriced it to a bigger demon for one fo the blessings, then rinse and repeat for the other two. And nature he just asked mother earth, he also gave her some fruit as thanks.
Each circuit would increase his cultivation speed, while also giving him a unique ability for each element.
Next up was body cultivation, for that he modified the black tiger breathing method so much it couldn't even be called that anymore, so he decided to go all the way and remake it from the ground up. It had a lot of similarities to the old method, considering it was made from it, but was also very difrent. One half of the breathing method was the very, very heavily modified black tiger breathing method, which was now completely breath based. while the other was his own creation.
It was based off the black tigers breathing method, but instead of focusing purely on breath, it was focused purely on the circulation of inner qi. He made these to be seprate at first, which alowed him to put as many downsides as he wanted, before fusing them to get rid of the downsides. They could still be cultivated separately, but the black tiger breathing method would make yoy unable to use abilitys related to inner qi in exchange for a massivly powerful body, while the white tiger would give you an incredibly frail body in exchange for immense inner qi capabilities.
His original cultivation method and body forging method combined where what gave him his immense stats.
Next was his traits [Being nurtured by world] and [worldly amniotic cycle] where just the upgrades of [being nurtured by mother] and [enhanced amniotic cycle]. [Evolving flesh] was another all round phisical enhancement, which increased the 'value' of each point he had in his basic stats. While [evolving soul] was for his advanced stats.
[Blessed by the elements] was the better version of [Blessed by the five elements], same for [qi guidence], which no longer had a rank limit, and [blood inferno] which increased his regenerarion. Finnaly [parasite] reached tier tier 2 after he made various improvements on it, such as gaining 1 exchange point every two hours, decreasing the load on the hosts, making it so ehen thos host does he gains thir soul, no limit om the number of hosts he can have, and increaceing the rang from touch to five meters.
Next up status effects, which just gained [poison resistance] after the head advisor poisond him so many times with so many poisons he got sick of removing them all.
He also finnaly got his first two spells! Which were clean, and repair. Both did exactly as they said. The rankings of spells where mortal, earth, sky, star, and heavenly. And went from tier 1 to 5.
Next up, techniques [breath of life] and [greater foundation creation] where once again just the upgradeds of their previous versions. [Energy stockpile] would be explained later. [Mind creation] alowed for the easy creation of parallel minds. [108 divine meridian enhancement method] was the very upgraded version of [forge of 108 devine meeidians] which was suited for his new and improved meridians.
[Sacrifice] was self explanatory and [occult circles] was the revised version of [five occult circles]. For system skills, [analysis] remaind the same, but [beast taming] got some major changes, but that was for later.
Alex also finnnaly got some equipment! They where his original ritual equipment, which was designed for [occult circles], a basic sword, and his energy cristal. The rankings for equipment where common, uncommon, rare, exotic, and legendary as far as he knew. But there was also another rank, growth. These types of equipment qould grow with their user over time, and as such where hard to properly rank.
His energy crystal was this rank, it was also connected to his technique, [energy stockpile].
The keen eyed among you would have noticed that base building was gone, it's original purpose was to work along side [foundation creation] to enhance alexes talent, but after its upgrade, their was no purpose for base building, so Alex used it as a way to bypass his maximum limit for qi.
Sure he could wait for his body to adjust to the qi, so he could absorbe more, but even afer 6 months he had only gotten a couple thousand more Qi whisps worth of capacity. So he decided to 'take out' base building, turn it into a crystal that would absorbe excess qi, condence it, and store it for later to work along side his [breaker foundation building]. He then reabsorbed the crystal, and linked it to [energy storage] and [greater foundation building], so he now had a crystal which would absorb, refine, condense and store all the excess qi he couldent absorbe, for later use to even further increase his talent.
