Chapter 63 Demonic Disguise Technique (1/2)
The Spiritual Control technique was a mid-grade technique that was could only be cultivated once one was at the Foundation Establishment stage. But mid-grade techniques were stored at the second level of the library and low-level disciples like Lin Xuan did not have the right to read them.
But in his trip to the Soaring Cloud sect, Lin Xuan had surprisingly acquired two such mid-grade techniques. One of them he had acquired by trading his medicinal pills, the other was his spoils from killing the Yan family patriarch.
Lin Xuan pulled out those two jade slips, inserted his spiritual sense into them, and started to read. He chose to skip the first section that described cultivation techniques because they required a cultivation base of Foundation Establishment, he would only be able to helplessly look at them right now. Instead, he moved onto the section that described the Spiritual Control technique and started to carefully read over it.
After that, he started to compare the two manuals. These two cultivation manuals, the first one was the one he traded for called the Frozen Heart Art; the other was acquired by killing the Yan family patriarch called the Violet Sun Origin Art.
This Violet Sun Origin Art was originally reserved by another large clan, the Wang clan, and was later acquire by Yan TianHeng when he ambushed their members. In other words, this manual must be better than the Frozen Heart Art that was being sold publicly. But speaking strictly about the Spiritual Control technique, the two manuals did not have that many differences, they were virtually the same.
Therefore, there was no need for him to pick between the two, so he casually picked one up and started to practice the technique in accordance with the manual.
This so-called Spiritual Control technique was of the same breed as the Telekinesis technique, except the latter was much simpler and only a basic technique. But the Spiritual Control technique was a much more complicated and delicate technique.
The following dozen days, Lin Xuan suffered a lot. There was only one reason for his suffering and that was because his cultivation was simply too low. Although the manual clearly stated that latter stage Spirit Condensation disciple could cultivate the Spiritual Control technique, but that was only in theory. In actuality, to be able to grasp this technique, having a cultivation base of Foundation Establishment was much better.
But failure did not affect Lin Xuan. Not everything in the world was so easy to acquire, it was much better to slowly practice. Like back then when he was first starting to learn the Ice Needles technique, wasn't it just as hard?
With this kind of mentality, the more he failed, the harder he tried. But after a dozen days, he still had not made any progress.

What caused Lin Xuan to be ever more depressed was the fact that he could not figure out why he was unable to grasp the Spiritual Control technique, he would just fail every single time and could not make heads or tails of it. This cause Lin Xuan to endlessly sigh, could it be that his innate talent was really that horrible?
But whining and complaining would not solve the problem at hand, so he bore it, clenched his teeth, and started bitterly practicing again. But after one month, he came out of his house, his situation had not even slightly changed for the better.
Looks like just relying on practicing to the bitter end would not change his situation.
”Should I ask for guidance from the elders?”
Lin Xuan shook his head. To be able to practice the Spiritual Control technique at the Spirit Condensation stage, in the Floating Cloud Valley, there were only those few geniuses. He did not even have Spiritual Roots, if he was to ask for guidance on this issue, he would definitely arouse suspicion.
