Realm-Hopping Martial Master

Cultivating in specific environments... Isn't that a perfect match for the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm on Xuanxing!

For instance, Secret Realm Number Three in Guangyue Province is filled with rainforests, making it extremely suitable for cultivating Azure Dragon True Strength. And Secret Realm Number Four in Xijiang Province, the Qianhu Desert, changes with time. It experiences an exaggerated amount of rainfall, allowing lakes of various sizes to form in the desert. During heavy rain, I could cultivate Xuanwu True Force there. And when the heavy rain passes, the desert reappears, and temperatures rise again, I could then cultivate Vermilion Bird True Strength. One Secret Realm, two types of true strength to cultivate!

Clutching the "Four Symbols Internal Energy," Jiang Shu forcefully suppressed the wild joy in his heart. For the geniuses of large clans, they could indeed find suitable cultivation environments through their family's power. However, transportation in the Da Jing Dynasty was nowhere near as developed as on Xuanxing. None of the geniuses could afford the time spent on travel! Moreover, "Four Symbols Internal Energy" had an inherent deficiency compared to "Five Flood Dragon Internal Energy." Jiang Shu believed that if any genius with a large clan background from Yongning County had entered the treasure vault today, they would definitely have chosen the latter. But not him! Not only can I begin cultivating "Four Symbols Internal Energy" on Xuanxing, but I can also use the panel's special traits to use Break Limit on the Cultivation Technique after reaching Perfection! This will compensate for the deficiency of the last type of true strength!

"Five Flood Dragon Internal Energy" seemed powerful, ranked twelfth. But in Jiang Shu's view, it fell short of "Four Symbols Internal Energy" in both versatility and might. This time, I've truly found an overlooked gem!

He took several breaths to calm his mind before walking towards the Martial Arts section. Compared to choosing Cultivation Techniques, selecting Martial Arts was much quicker. All I need is something that matches "Four Symbols Internal Energy."

In less than a quarter of an hour, Jiang Shu selected "Four Seasons Blade Technique" and "Hurricane Three Changes" from the Martial Arts on these three bookshelves and returned to Su Mingchun.

"The 'Four Symbols Internal Energy' has some flaws. Didn't you see the 'Five Flood Dragon Internal Energy'?" Su Mingchun asked, his brows furrowing slightly as he looked at the three sample books Jiang Shu had handed over.

If it were an ordinary genius, their choice wouldn't matter, Su Mingchun thought. But Jiang Shu is different; I was quite optimistic about him from the audience. If I can offer advice, I should.

"Our Da Jing Dynasty's Martial Path has six great Realms: Skin Refinement, Bone Forging, Organ Training, Blood Exchange, Acupoint Passage, and Rebirth. Cultivation Technique grades are divided into low-grade, Middle Grade, top-grade, and Supreme, corresponding exactly to these Six Martial Arts Realms.

"Low-grade Cultivation Techniques cultivate Inner Strength, refining the skin and bones. Middle Grade Cultivation Techniques cultivate true strength, training the organs and exchanging blood. Both low-grade and Middle Grade Cultivation Techniques cultivate strength! They cultivate the physical body! The goal is to reach the peak of the physical body! Perhaps you think that after choosing a Middle Grade Cultivation Technique, once you refine your organs to the Blood Exchange Realm, you can naturally switch to a better Cultivation Technique, using it merely as a transition.

"But now, I'm telling you, that's not the case! Middle Grade Cultivation Techniques are actually the limit of physical Body Refinement techniques! Once true strength is infused into the marrow, that is Blood Exchange! To go further, one must cultivate top-grade Cultivation Techniques, sensing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, opening all acupoints in the body, and achieving the Acupoint Passage Realm!

"Middle Grade Cultivation Techniques refine the body! Top-grade Cultivation Techniques refine Qi! Supreme Cultivation Techniques refine the Spirit!

"Middle Grade, top-grade, Supreme—these are not distinctions in level but differences in cultivation systems!

"Only when the physical body, Yuan Qi, and Spirit are all refined to their limits can a Martial Artist truly master Divine Skills and roam the world! You will naturally learn this once you ascend to the Little Dragon Tiger List." Su Mingchun paused, then continued, his gaze fixed on Jiang Shu, "This kind of secret knowledge is generally known to geniuses from large families. The scions of state city noble families are all well aware of it. Only geniuses truly from county towns might mistake the grade of a Cultivation Technique for its overall quality!

"Although 'Five Flood Dragon Internal Energy' consumes many resources, it allows for great strides in the Blood Exchange Realm by blending five types of true strength. 'Four Symbols Internal Energy,' however, will always only have four types. You can certainly cultivate another Earth Attribute true strength to compensate, but if the five types of true strength don't blend together, your speed will be slower when you reach the Blood Exchange Realm and begin refining your marrow.

"The strength of 'Four Symbols Internal Energy' lies in its comprehensiveness and combat power, not in rapid Realm advancement! Among Middle Grade Cultivation Techniques, it is indeed very formidable and can even make one unbeatable at the same level. But what you need is faster and steadier advancement.

"Consider it carefully. As for resources, if there's truly a shortage, you can take on some tasks from our Chamber of Commerce. You'll always be able to gather enough."

Su Mingchun's voice was somewhat stern, intending his words as a sharp warning to awaken Jiang Shu.

However, what followed was not Jiang Shu's awakening. Instead...

"Thank you, President Su."

Jiang Shu's thoughts turned, and everything became clear. No wonder Old Qiu couldn't speak about the Realm beyond the Blood Exchange Realm back then. It's highly probable his understanding was limited to that point. The true cultivation system of the Da Jing Dynasty: Body Refinement! Qi Refinement! Spirit Refinement! Moreover, from Su Mingchun's words, I can clearly tell that Body Refinement, Qi Refinement, and Spirit Refinement might just be the foundation! With that in mind, 'Four Symbols Internal Energy' is an even better fit for me. With low-grade Cultivation Techniques, I can still use Break Limit to reach Middle Grade. I can use Break Limit to go from Inner Strength to true strength. Because this is all about cultivating strength! Ultimately, they are all Body Refinement Cultivation Techniques. But between Middle Grade, top-grade, and Supreme Cultivation Techniques, my panel probably can't be used for Break Limit. Because these are completely different cultivation systems. Using Break Limit on Middle Grade Cultivation Techniques would likely still be limited to Body Refinement. Compared to "Five Flood Dragon Internal Energy," which cultivates all five organs, "Four Symbols Internal Energy" clearly has more room for improvement.
