Chapter 392: Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Technique

After the four chatted for a while, they returned to calm.

Mu Hong switched the projection and continued:

"According to the preciousness of metals, we on Blue Star divide the sophistication of manuals into five levels: Foundation, Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold."

"Among them, Silver-level manuals are also called Artistic Conception-level manuals, which can realize Artistic Conception."

"This statement is actually not very accurate."

"Because Gold-level manuals are the true manuals for cultivating Artistic Conception; they are the true Artistic Conception-level manuals."

Lin Qi nodded; the name Gold-level manual didn't sound very good, not as self-explanatory as Artistic Conception-level manual.

Mu Hong continued to say:

"When cultivating Artistic Conception-level manuals, we need to re-realize Artistic Conception, and the difficulty is very great."

"So most people choose advanced manuals for new manuals, so they can quickly convert and save a lot of time."

"At the same time, during the cultivation process of the new manual, awakened geniuses will integrate special abilities, fuse with Artistic Conception, and strengthen the power of Artistic Conception."

"In this process, the entire martial arts system, as well as the future path, is basically determined."

Mu Hong appeared with cyan patterns on his body as he said this, and fierce winds blew in the martial arts room.

Invisible wind accompanied the fusion of red Artistic Conception, forming blood wind.

"My Blood Shadow Artistic Conception is a pure killing Artistic Conception, without specific attributes."

"I awakened 【Swift Wind】, and my future path is wind attribute."

"Integrating the power of wind into the Blood Shadow Artistic Conception is very fitting."

"Artistic Conception mainly has two types: Natural Artistic Conception and Everything Artistic Conception. My Blood Shadow and Shaking Mountain are like this."

"But Natural Artistic Conception is more special; they are all pure Artistic Conceptions, such as: Flowing Water Artistic Conception, Red Flame Artistic Conception, Lightning Artistic Conception, Cold Ice Artistic Conception..."

"Very pure and single, only able to integrate corresponding special abilities."

"If combined with different special abilities, they will repel each other, and may even lead to the martial arts path being unable to advance further, or even have the risk of qi deviation."

Then he looked at Lin Qi again and said:

"For another example, Lin Qi, what you realized is the Shaking Mountain Artistic Conception among Everything Artistic Conception. Whether it is metal attribute, or earth or wood attribute, it can be integrated; it is very fitting."

"But water attribute is completely different; it is completely unsuitable for integration."

"So next, your choice of spear technique manual must also be cautious."

Li Qing was surprised after hearing this: "Then what should I do if I haven't awakened?"

"If I choose 'Molten Rock Spear Technique' and end up awakening the special ability 【Flowing Water】, wouldn't that be a disaster?"

"Do I need to change the spear technique and choose a new path?"

Speaking of this, Liang Tai, Wang Zhixuan, and Li Qing all looked at Lin Qi with envy.

Lin Qi had already awakened the special ability 【Golden Edge】.

Choosing a spear technique manual based on ability was almost impossible to get wrong, and one could even choose the most fitting manual.

Lin Qi also felt another benefit of awakening.

However, he had a panel to filter for the most suitable manual, so it didn't affect him much.

……

Half an hour later, the class ended.

Teacher Mu Hong explained a lot about the cultivation of Artistic Conception; according to him, there were simply too many points to pay attention to.

After ending the class, Mu Hong also uploaded an Artistic Conception-level cultivation notebook to the internet.

He had stayed at this realm for nearly 10 years and had many realizations.

And Lin Qi and the others also left the martial arts room one by one.

Finally, only Mu Hong was left alone. He looked at the long spear in his hand and shook his head:

"Martial arts is boundless; the barrier of Artistic Conception has trapped me for ten years, so what about Domain?"

"I might need a lifetime to realize it."

Unknowingly, he thought of Lin Qi again.

"With Lin Qi's talent, the Ninth Realm is his future."

"Domain is already the highest realm of martial arts technique; higher realms might need him to pioneer."

……

Firmament Sixth Academy, Villa No. 01.

Lin Qi returned to his martial arts room, let Xiao Chan project the panel, and began to summarize.

He could feel that after breaking through to the realm of Artistic Conception, the future path would become very difficult to walk.

"But what I need to do now is buy a new spear technique manual."

"Xiao Chan, open Firmament Home!"

Lin Qi said to the black-haired Xiao Chan not far away.

"Okay, Master!"

Xiao Chan raised her jade hand, and a large green screen was projected out.

Logging into Firmament Home, Lin Qi familiarly opened the 【Technique】 module.

Quickly filtered for Gold-level manuals.

【Technique】 -> 【Manual】 -> 【Spear Technique】 -> 【Gold】

"Hum!!"

The page in front of him refreshed, and a large number of spear technique names appeared in his line of sight.

【Three Stars (54), Four Stars (30), Five Stars (12)】

Lin Qi frowned after seeing that there were only 12 spear techniques with a five-star rating; the quantity was even smaller than he had imagined.

These were already all the spear technique manuals in the Xia Guo, including a portion of manuals from other countries.

In the entire Xia Guo, the most used weapons were the saber and the sword.

The saber was because the world's number one powerhouse, the Red Emperor, used saber technique, so many people chose saber technique.

Sword technique was because 70% of female martial artists used sword technique, 20% used saber technique, and 10% used other weapons.

And among boys, the most used was saber technique, followed by spear, sword, axe, and other weapons.

Calculating carefully, there were actually quite a few Artistic Conception-level manuals.

It was just that there were relatively few five-star rated spear technique manuals. Thinking of this, he directly chose to view the five-star rated spear techniques, from strongest to weakest.

【"Star Spear Technique", Category: Spear Technique Manual, Rating: ★★★★★, Price: 120 million Xia Guo coins (can be paid in installments), Note: Weight Condensation *1.5】

……

【"Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Technique", Category: Spear Technique Manual, Rating: ★★★★★, Price: 120 million Xia Guo coins (no discount, can be paid in 12 installments), Note: Red Firmament】

……

【"Thunder Spear Technique", Category: Spear Technique Manual, Rating: ★★★★★, Price: 120 million Xia Guo coins (no discount, can be paid in 12 installments), Note: Black Obsidian *1.5】

……

【"Canghai Spear Technique", Category: Spear Technique Manual, Rating: ★★★★, Price: 80 million Xia Guo coins (no discount, can be paid in 12 installments), Note: Heavy Sea *1.5】

……

After reading, Lin Qi frowned at the price.

"120 million Xia Guo coins?"

"And no discount?"

Lin Qi was secretly shocked; the price of this Artistic Conception-level manual was truly expensive!

"Shaking Mountain Spear Technique" was only 12 million Xia Guo coins, and he could get a 40% discount.

By the time it reached the Artistic Conception-level manual, it had increased tenfold.

To avoid people not being able to afford it, it thoughtfully allowed payment in 12 installments.

However, money was not a problem for Lin Qi now; he could pay in full.

He viewed the 12 spear technique manuals, and upon closer inspection, he discovered that the five-star rated Artistic Conception-level spear technique manuals.

Actually had six created by Ninth Realm title-level martial artists.

For example, "Thunder Spear Technique" was actually simplified from the peerless spear technique manual created by the Overlord.

The Overlord was the founder of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Mansion and the veritable second person in the Xia Guo.

His peerless skill was "Overlord Spear Technique".

"Thunder Spear Technique" was simplified from "Overlord Spear Technique".

It could be said to be very powerful.

……

Besides this, there was another top-tier spear technique—"Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Technique".

This spear technique was the famous peerless skill of Mountain and Senior Shanhe Wang, one of the Ninth Realm martial artists of their Xia Guo's Red Firmament Martial Arts Mansion.

Mountain and Senior Shanhe Wang was a legendary figure in the Xia Guo; he was born with extraordinary talent, and at the Eighth Realm, he created the Artistic Conception-level spear technique "Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Technique" based on "Shaking Mountain Spear Technique".

And the advanced spear technique manual of "Shaking Mountain Spear Technique" was "Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Technique".

He continued reading; several spear techniques were all created by famous Ninth Realm title-level martial artists.

And as far as he knew, many martial artists who broke through to the Ninth Realm title level would create their own peerless skills after breaking through to the Ninth Realm.

Perhaps the secrets regarding Ninth Realm martial artists were not something he could know.

He looked at the general introduction of the manuals and discovered that upon reaching the Artistic Conception level, most would become hexagonal warriors, and the spear technique manuals had varying degrees of bonuses to strength, speed, and defense.

There were almost no obvious shortcomings.

In battle, the difficulty of winning also became higher.

Then he began to quickly compare the fit on the panel. "Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Technique" (99% fit).

"Thunder Spear Technique" (99% fit).

"Star Spear Technique" (99% fit).

……

Lin Qi fell into silence after reading the 12 five-star rated spear techniques.

They were actually all over 90%, and there were six with 99% fit.

Which meant he could choose any one of them and be able to exert the strongest power.

"Strange, do I seem to have a particularly high fit with lightning-attribute manuals?"

He was puzzled in his heart; he seemed to have a very strong affinity with the lightning attribute, and had an extremely high fit with related movement techniques and manuals.

But among the 12 five-star rated spear technique manuals, there was actually no absolute metal-attribute spear technique manual; only in the four-star ratings were there any.

!

But he couldn't choose a four-star rated spear technique; if he could learn a better one, why learn a weaker one?

So his gaze locked onto "Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Technique".

This spear technique had a very powerful point, which was that it could accommodate most special powers.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and ice—all eight attributes could be accommodated.

It could be said to be all-encompassing; choosing it would almost have no problems, and one could seamlessly convert to other spear technique manuals later.

"Just 'Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Technique'!"

Lin Qi thought for a second, and the answer was in his heart.

Then he looked at cultivation resources.

He planned to buy potions that could improve spiritual power.

He took a look at his spiritual power.

【Spiritual Power: 550】

The speed of the lowest improvement of spiritual power began to slow down, and the effect of spiritual potions significantly decreased.

It was almost about to be caught up by the Qi and blood value.

So he needed to buy potions or heavenly treasures with better effects.

Even if it was a bit expensive, it didn't matter.

Soon, he linked out a series of potions that could improve spiritual power.

Spirit-Condensing Liquid, Spirit-Nourishing Potion, Spiritual Potion...

There were even quite a few heavenly treasures that could significantly improve spiritual power.

【Item: Soul Essence】

【Effect: Purifies the mind, significantly improves the user's spiritual power. Note: Best for Fifth Realm martial artists.】

【Price: 30 million/bottle】

……

Lin Qi's eyes lit up after seeing this; this was simply a potion prepared for him.

Although the price was 30 million per bottle, spiritual-type resources had always been expensive.

Thinking of this, he directly placed an order for five bottles.

【Do you want to buy the spear technique manual "Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Technique" and Soul Potion?】

【The "Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Technique" and Soul Essence you purchased total 270 million Xia Guo coins. Because you enjoy a 40% discount, the Soul Potion you purchased totals 90 million Xia Guo coins.】

【Fingerprint verification successful!】

【You have paid 210 million Xia Guo coins!】

【The spear technique manual "Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Technique" and Soul Essence you purchased will be delivered within tomorrow.】

……

"Phew~"

Lin Qi let out a sigh of relief, but felt his heart bleeding.

The nearly 500 million net worth he had painstakingly accumulated was consumed by 200 million Xia Guo coins all at once.

Nearly half of his net worth, and he still had to buy Organ-Refining Liquid for Qi and blood cultivation with this money.

"Money is still not enough!"

Lin Qi shook his head and sighed, but felt that this money was well spent.

He had to improve his strength as quickly as possible; SSS-rank geniuses Chu Yu and Wang Hailong definitely had more money than him.

He could only spend all his money on himself to continuously narrow the gap.

Martial arts was just like this; without money, the Qi and blood value truly couldn't be raised.

The reliance on resources was very strong.

……

The next day.

"Boom!!"

Firmament Sixth Academy, below Cangjing Building.

Countless students leaving school looked at the fighter jets streaking across the sky, leaving behind clear white marks.

Then more fighter jets streaked overhead.

Jiang Tao sighed:

"Quite a few teachers have already started heading to the Alien World. Brother Qi, you are leaving tomorrow too!"

The crowd looked at Lin Qi; the other party was leaving tomorrow.

Lin Qi smiled: "Don't think I don't know; you have already planned to head to the Alien World together."

"Teacher Tong even said that the following courses can be taken online."

Guo Heng laughed:

"No choice, everyone feels that the cultivation effect in the Alien World is better, so they head to the Alien World to cultivate for a period of time from time to time before coming back."

Lin Qi nodded; if there were also three major cultivation environments in the Alien World, who would be willing to stay on Blue Star to cultivate?

However, his Elite Training Camp faced awakened geniuses; the cultivation environment should have been upgraded, right?

……

A few minutes later.

"Student Lin Qi, your delivery!"

Lin Qi took the delivery from the burly courier and handed over an expensive functional drink.

He was already very familiar with the courier; this functional drink worth over a hundred yuan could quickly replenish energy.

For a courier who was only at the Second Realm, it was also a luxury item.

"Thank you!!"

He took the functional drink, smiled honestly, and turned to leave.

Lin Qi also carried the two deliveries back to the martial arts room.

"Lin Qi, what spear technique manual did you choose?"

A few minutes later, Lin Qi received a video call from Teacher Mu Hong; his background was inside a fighter jet.

"Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Technique."

The black-clad Mu Hong nodded after hearing this:

"I knew it. This is the advanced spear technique of 'Shaking Mountain Spear Technique'; Mountain and River Artistic Conception can integrate a large number of special powers."

"This is a spear technique manual with a huge gap between its upper and lower limits, but with it as a fallback, there will basically be no mistakes."

"At the same time, when encountering a suitable genius, it can erupt with huge power."

Mu Hong nodded; the last sentence was said to Lin Qi.

With Lin Qi's talent, "Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Technique" would definitely erupt with astonishing power in his hands.

"Although 'Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Technique' is the advanced manual of 'Shaking Mountain Spear Technique', realizing Mountain and River Artistic Conception from Shaking Mountain Artistic Conception is not easy."

"You need to be mentally prepared?"

Teacher Mu Hong suddenly reminded him.

Lin Qi nodded seriously after hearing this: "I understand!"

After hanging up the video.

Lin Qi opened one of the black metal boxes.

"Beep!"

The box opened, and inside were two things: a thick manual—"Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Technique".

And a Black Obsidian Strange Stone; this was a special stone used for imprinting will.

The disaster beast visualized in the previous Source Energy Technique could be imprinted inside.

And now it could also be used to imprint a person's Artistic Conception.

What was imprinted inside was Mountain and River Artistic Conception.
