Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2133: Chapter 2134: Cultivation

”The Northern Profound Manual, unlike conventional cultivation techniques of spiritual energy, approaches the dao through the body. Using the body as a medium, it constructs a bridge to communicate with nature’s spiritual energy, allowing it to pass through the body’s acupoints and arrive at the sea of consciousness, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.”

Lin Chen listened and secretly nodded; indeed, this method has its unique aspects. Earlier, the cultivation techniques Lin Chen studied involved incorporating spiritual energy into the body through breathing, which then passed through the meridians and ultimately converged in the dantian.

This technique, however, allows for the continuous intake of spiritual energy through one’s acupoints, even if Lin Chen does not intentionally enter a state of meditation, spiritual energy will continuously flow into the dantian.

”But does this really not lead to deviation?” Lin Chen pondered. Having such mixed spiritual energy enter simultaneously and collide within the body is no trivial matter. What if it exploded?

”While this cultivation technique offers obvious benefits, its drawbacks are significant as well.”

The figure continued, saying, ”To practice this technique, the physical body must be sufficiently strong. Otherwise, at the moment spiritual energy enters the body, it can cause significant harm even if successful, making it difficult for your cultivation to progress.”

”At the same time, the strength of the meridians is crucial, so...” the figure paused and continued: ”The best approach is to practice body technique first and then a certain spiritual method. Once the meridians have expanded to a certain strength, destroy your cultivation and then practice this spiritual method, which will be ideal.”

Lin Chen couldn’t help but smile; he almost laughed out loud. He finally understood why so few people learned this spiritual method and why it had no successors.

The idea of cultivating body technique is fine, but who would be so idle as to practice a technique halfway, then destroy their cultivation to learn this? Even if it makes subsequent cultivation more efficient, the wasted time cannot be recovered.

This concept is nothing short of a practical joke.

Lin Chen highly doubted whether the creator of this technique had their cultivation destroyed at some point, prompting the creation of such a peculiar method.

”These are the pros and cons of this technique. I wonder if you, young friend, can fulfill my wish so I may rest in peace,” the figure coughed and continued.

Lin Chen couldn’t help but curl his lips, yet this person was at least honest, not preparing to mislead anyone.

But then a thought struck him, causing his breathing to become somewhat rapid. He mused inwardly, ”Is this technique not tailor-made for me?”

Lin Chen’s physique was remarkable; even under strong spiritual energy attacks, he remained unharmed. Most importantly, he had been a top cultivator on Earth, only losing his cultivation upon arriving in the Profound Realm.

His inner meridians were equally resilient, making the practice of this technique an excellent choice.

”Achieving a cultivation speed that’s twice as effective with half the effort, reaching the Profound Realm within a century, and perhaps even needing less time!” Lin Chen was already confident, and with the technique’s unique nature, this time could likely be further shortened.

As he reflected thus, the figure seemed to sense Lin Chen’s thoughts and sharply turned around, revealing an aged face covered in white whiskers.

The face, furrowed with wrinkles, was full of a smile.

”Good, good, good, I finally have a successor. However, since you wish to practice this technique, you must be able to endure the hardships involved,” the old man said, stroking his beard with a smile: ”Thus, I will impart this technique to you, embedding it in your mind with a restriction. Should you give up midway, this restriction would be enough to end your life!”

The old man warned; he had painstakingly waited for a successor and did not want to see the effort wasted by someone who might abandon it, rendering his search for a successor futile.

”If you’ve made up your mind, then let’s begin.” The old man, after a moment’s pause, continued.

”Let’s go!” Lin Chen shouted in his heart, his desire for power more urgent than anyone else’s.

With a swoosh,

the beam shot out from the tip of the old man’s finger. Even in a realm of consciousness, Lin Chen could sense the pillar of light gradually enlarging.

Soon after, it was as if a light chime echoed in his mind, leaving something more within his sea of consciousness.

Afterward, the old man’s figure, appearing even more aged, began to gradually dissipate from the feet upwards into nothingness in the sweltering yellow sand.

Lin Chen remained silent, merely watching the old man’s figure fade away, harboring a deep respect for his dedication.

Awaiting nearly a thousand miles only for a successor to appear and endure solitude within the scroll; contemplating this thought made Lin Chen resonate with the difficulty.

”The road is long and arduous. I hope you can persevere, letting my name, Su Yan, resound once more in the Profound Realm...” the old man murmured, as his figure vanished into the yellow sand within this cascade of words.

”Rest assured, though we’ve only met briefly, I can’t call you master, but I will remember the favor of granting me this technique. During my lifetime, I will accomplish it.” Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes, and the previous images seemed like a dream.

He touched his brow, feeling that behind it lay something new, stored within his mind and waiting to be discovered, proving that his earlier experience was no illusion.

”Hoo...”

Lin Chen exhaled deeply, then sat cross-legged again, letting his spirit sink into the sea of consciousness.

Within it, Lin Chen could feel the pull of spiritual energy guiding his awareness into the depths of his sea of consciousness.

There, he perceived a cultivation technique appearing—precisely the Northern Profound Manual bestowed by the old man.

Engraved on the manual were only a sketch, depicting a diagram of the human body, densely marked with acupoints, demonstrating the depth of consideration in its explanation.

Lin Chen closely studied the acupoints, firmly memorizing their differences into his mind. Among them, some required piercing to form spiritual energy bridges, while others must not be touched lest severe injury or even death occurs.

Even with Lin Chen’s memory, facing such extensive data made his head throb, yet he dared not slacken. An error would result in injury, something he wished to avoid.

”This technique is truly challenging to master from the outset.” Lin Chen genuinely sighed.

Once he firmly memorized these details, several hours had passed. He opened his eyes and rubbed his slightly aching head, gasping for breath.

This mental exertion was even more taxing than physical exhaustion.

”Just in time, I’m hungry. Let’s find something to eat and rest a little before continuing the cultivation,” Lin Chen said, patting his stomach, noting he felt somewhat hungry.
