Auxiliary Cultivation Method

But compared with the former, there were just too few Ghost Cultivators, so let alone among ordinary mortals, even a lot of low ranked cultivators didn't know that Spiritual Qi can be divided into yin and yang. Usually, what they refer to as "Spiritual Qi" is actually Yang Spirit Qi.

In other words, ordinary cultivators like Lin Xuan, since the Spiritual Qi he absorbs is different from that of Ghost Cultivators, the Spiritual Power in his body is naturally also different, and it's also segregated into yin and yang.

Therefore, although Immortal Cultivators cannot practice ordinary Demonic Dao Cultivation Methods, they can still learn its various Magic Arts[Secret Art is changed to Magic Art], because the origin of their Spiritual Power is one and the same, but their Dao is different.

However, ordinary cultivators, even Demonic Cultivators, can never learn the Magic Arts of the Ghost Dao, because those Magic Arts can only be driven by "Yin Spiritual Power".

This feeling is like seeing a treasure mountain in front of you, but unable to enter. Lin Xuan can only look with his eyes at all kinds of Magic Arts recorded in the second half of the "Profound Demon Scripture."

Although his own Cultivation Method the "Nine Heavens Profound Art", is even better than the "Profound Demon Scripture". But as the saying goes, the other mountain's stone can polish jade[1], and Lin Xuan's greed is endless.

Moreover, there is another problem that makes him depressed. Although the "Nine Heavens Profound Art" is a top-notch Cultivation Method, and if it's practiced to the realm of Great Accomplishment, you can definitely walk unimpeded through the Cultivation World. But there's a premise here, which is, achieving Mahayana.

That is to say, at least you must condense a Nascent Soul.

This is obviously too far away for Lin Xuan. He's only in the Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage. Still far from the Core Formation, let alone the more illusive Nascent Soul Stage. God knows how long it would take.

And this "Nine Heavens Profound Art", although Lin Xuan did not know about its specific source. But he has been cultivating it for a long time. According to his own experience, this should be a Taoist Cultivation Method. Which emphasizes a solid foundation, deep true essence, and a profound understanding of Dao. Those who cultivate it must have extraordinary perseverance. They must practice it step by step. Until the streams merge into rivers, and the rivers become a sea. Displaying great power.

Originally speaking, with Lin Xuan's temperament. This Cultivation Method is very suitable for him. It does not require high Innate Talent, and its emphasis is on one's heart and perseverance. Lin Xuan doesn't dare say anything about his Innate Talent, but when it comes to his tenacity and perseverance, he thinks that he wouldn't lose to anyone.

He doesn't give up even after hundreds of failures. In the Spirit Condensation Stage First Layer, he dared to cultivate in the Heart Tempering Road, where even Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators may not be able to hold on.

This Cultivation Method is almost tailor-made for him.

However, nothing is perfect. And the "Nine-Heavens Profound Art" is no exception. It can indeed make one move everywhere unimpeded after achieving Great Accomplishment, but before that, in addition to the Qi Concealment Technique, the Thousand Phantom Magic Art, and so on. "The power of the Nine Heavens Profound Art is no different from an ordinary Cultivation Method.

It can even be said that its powers before mastering, are only second-rate.

This really made Lin Xuan feel a headache.

Although he also understands the truth of bitterness first and sweetness later, the "Nine Heavens Profound Art" should initially show its true powers as a top-level Cultivation Method, after at least achieving the Core Formation Stage.

God knows how long it will take.

During this period of time, Lin Xuan's strength can only be said to be average among cultivators of the same rank. Of course, with his cleverness and a large number of treasures, there's no problem with singlehandedly challenging a cultivator above his level, but without the power of his treasures, it is inevitable that suffering a loss could not be avoided.

With this in mind, Lin Xuan was a little bit sad and depressed. His technique is clearly the top-level Cultivation Method that everyone dreams of. He didn't expect that at the Foundation Establishment. It turned out to be a weakness!

It's not that Lin Xuan never thought about practicing another Auxiliary Cultivation Method.

After all, there are many cultivators who have studied other Auxiliary Cultivation Methods in addition to their main.

Although it is said that learning from others' strengths is not as good as mastering your personal skill, but there is no absolute in everything, and there are still many benefits to learning for the strengths of others!

This seems to be a solution, but Lin Xuan's requirements are quite high.

Since he felt that the "Nine Heavens Profound Art" is not powerful enough at the Foundation Establishment Stage, then the Auxiliary Cultivation Method naturally needs to be powerful.

And he knows his qualifications, Lin Xuan may not lack pills, but after all, his Innate Talent is not high. And as he's dividing his energy in practicing a second Cultivation Method. Then it must be easy to learn.

On the surface, there are only two conditions, but these conditions are already very demanding. It needs to be easy to learn, and it has to be powerful. How can such a Cultivation Method be easy to find!

Lin Xuan could search through every city market, in hopes of finding such a treasure. But he basically has no hope on this road. The reason is that the Cultivation Methods appearing in those markets are basically only at the Entry-level. Which is used by Spirit Condensation Stage cultivators, even if there was an occasional Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation Method, they're also only garbage, not to mention finding such a good top-level Cultivation Method.

Like Formation Arrays for example, which can't be bought with Spirit Stones.

Of course, after finding out the hidden strength of Spirit Pill Mountain, this Sect is not necessarily worse than the Big Three. It must have a lot of top-level Cultivation Methods, but Lin Xuan's position as the junior Sect Master is quite ambiguous. Daoist Yu may treat him well on the surface, but God knows what that old fox is thinking.

Naturally, Lin Xuan would not ask for his help, so as not to incur a disaster for himself, and regret it later.

On one hand, Lin Xuan takes advantage of the big tree which is Spirit Pill Mountain to enjoy the shade. On the other hand, he's also observing and seeing what benefits could be gained. In short, he had to make a decision before making a move.

Holding on to this mentality, the matter of an Auxiliary Cultivation Method was dragged on like this. And it was not until he got the "Profound Demon Scripture" that it evoked Lin Xuan's thoughts again.

He didn't know if God was playing a joke with him. Apart from the fact that this "Profound Demon Scripture" is a Ghost Cultivation Method, but it's all in line with his requirements. It is easy to learn, and the Magic Arts recorded in it are not only uncanny but also hold great power.

But the more he understood this, the more depressing it got. Why is it a Ghost Cultivation Method? If he wanted to display it, he must first possess Yin Spiritual Power.

But Yin and Yang are incompatible like fire and water. In other words, ordinary cultivators can't practice the Ghost Cultivation Method, unless they abolish their cultivation base and start again.

Both energies would fight in their body, causing them to burst.

Lin Xuan was silent for a while, finally, he sat down, sank his Spiritual Sense into the "Profound Demon Scripture" and continued reading.

After a few more hours, he suddenly stood up with a "huh", and the expression on his face was extremely complex, but it was full of ecstasy.
