Chapter 24 – Dark Bone Method
“Decent bones, still has some potential for growth. Ligaments and muscles are extremely flexible. Seems like you have had some special training. However, there are many torn places in your body. If you want to avoid the consequences of such tears, you should exchange for a couple bottles of “Healing Ligament Pills” once you get Contribution Points. Your meridians are quite strong and can accept more energy than normal kids of your age. Huh? Your Spiritual Sea is quite strange. It seems to be much more solid and thick than other Three Spiritual Pulse Disciples.” As the chubby old man patted Liu Ming, he started mumbling. However, at the last sentence, his hands stopped as an expression of shock showed on his face.
Taking this chance, Liu Ming escaped from the grasp of the old man and asked surprised:
“Oh? Martial Uncle Ruan, are the other Spiritual Seas different from mine?”
“They aren’t really different. It’s just that such a solid Spiritual Sea usually appears in Nine Spiritual Pulse Disciples. Are you really a Three Spiritual Pulse Disciple and not lying to me?” After staring at Liu Ming, the chubby old man said with a serious expression.
“How would I dare to lie to Martial Uncle. I really am a Three Spiritual Pulse Disciple, it’s just that during the Opening Spirit Ceremony, I used a small trick to open my Spirit Sea.” After thinking for a moment, LIu Ming said with some reluctance.
“What trick? Tell me.” Hearing this, the chubby old man asked.
“When I formed my Spiritual Sea, I used my mental energy to shape my Yuan Li into threads and weaved them together like clothing.” After a slight pause, Liu Ming didn’t feel that it was a great secret and said.
“What? You can use your mental energy to control the Yuan Li to this extent? That must mean your mental energy is exceptionally strong.” After hearing Liu Ming’s experience, the chubby old man concluded.
“Yes, my mental energy is indeed stronger than most people.” Liu Ming slightly nodded his head.
“A Three Spiritual Pulse with mental energy that’s exceptionally strong! Tsk tsk, that Cultivation Method is pretty much made for you.” The chubby old man seemed to have thought of something and after looking at Liu Ming for a couple more seconds, he exclaimed.
“Which Cultivation Method? Is Martial Uncle not talking about the thirteen entrance Cultivation Methods!” Liu Ming heard the meaning behind the old man’s words and asked quickly.
“According to your potential, I can give you two choices. The first is the “Phantom Yang Method” and the “Ghost Spirit Method” of the entrance Cultivation Methods. However, these two methods aren’t really popular in the Nine Infant Faction and when you want to change Cultivation Methods in the future, you’ll have quite a bit of trouble. As for the other Cultivation Methods, you’d be wasting your talent in mental energy and after thirty to fourty years, you’d be like the other two out there: a High Spirit Apostle level or even a Middle Spirit Apostle for the rest of your life. However, you can also choose to practice a Cultivation Method outside of the thirteen entrance ones. This Cultivation Method is extremely special since it has two requirements to practice – to have a mental energy that is stronger than the normal person and have a Three Spiritual Pulse. You fit these two conditions.” The chubby old man said.
“Even though Martial Uncle has already said so much, could I first look at the three methods before deciding?” After hearing that, Liu Ming’s mind was still quite undecided and he asked.
“No problem.” With a hand symbol, the chubby old man pointed at three stone tables.
With three sounds of “Peng”, the light barriers on the tables all shattered. From within the tables flew two scrolls and a black bamboo scroll. They all flew before Liu Ming and strangely floated two feet in front of Liu Ming.
Taking a light yellow colored scroll, Liu Ming saw the three words “Phantom Yang Method” written in large purple-red color at the front.
After looking through a few pages, Liu Ming then folded the scroll and placed it back in front of him. With a slight movement of his arm, Liu Ming got the silver colored “Ghost Spirit Method” and started looking through it.
This time, Liu Ming looked through over a dozen pages before placing the scroll. After thinking for a while, he nodded to the chubby old man and said:
“I’ve seen the requirements for practicing these two methods. Since my mental energy is stronger than other, it is indeed easier for me to practice these two methods. However, the Phantom Yang Method said that the continuations of the method is more focused on illusions. For the Ghost Spirit Method, it’s more focused on slaving ghosts and refining corpses.”
“Why would I lie about such a thing? The Phantom Yang Method is one of the more important methods for the Ghost Dance Faction while Ghost Spirit Method is for the Corpse Refinery Faction. Your Nine Infant Faction is more focused on refining demon heads to assist you in battle and not extremely good with illusions or slaving ghosts.” The chubby old man said with a smile.
