Chapter 67 Five Lakes Sword Sect
The Blood Sect disciple paused slightly upon hearing Raphael's conditions before replying, "You—you don't know? The techniques of each sect are only effective when combined with the abilities gained from the 'True Monarch Jade Body'—."
This is why major powers don't keep their basic techniques very secret, but they value their supernatural abilities highly.
For example, disciples of the Dark Pavilion can only cultivate the "True Scripture of the Demonic Source," and other cultivation methods are not very effective. The same applies to other sects.
But supernatural powers are different. If you only have basic skills but no supernatural powers, the abilities you get from the "True Lord's Jade Body" will be greatly reduced.
"I know," Raphael interrupted, "It wasn't my own choice to cultivate."
He has now experienced the benefits of the "True Scripture of the Demon Source" and now intends to acquire the basic techniques of other sects to trade with extraordinary individuals from other paths in the Extraordinary World.
For people in the world of cultivators, basic cultivation techniques are not secrets, but for people in the extraordinary world, they are completely unfamiliar. It's like how the disciples of the "Blood Sect" in the world of cultivators are completely unfamiliar with "acting techniques" and potion recipes.
But they are all very effective at dealing with the distortions and chaos brought about by the extraordinary!
The Blood Sect disciple said, "No problem, but I only know the first three levels of the 'Mind Concentration Technique' and the first three levels of the 'Joyful Union Manual.' As for supernatural abilities, I only know the incomplete 'Fire Control Technique.'"
Raphael was slightly taken aback: "You've mastered two basic martial arts techniques?"
The Blood Sect disciple explained, "No, I am a disciple of the Dongting Heart Sword Sect within the Five Lakes Sword School. The basic technique of the Dongting Heart Sword Sect is the Concentration Technique, which can be looked up at the beginner level."
"But because what I consumed was an 'inner elixir' that I had once seized from the Hehuan Sect, I must cultivate the Hehuan Sect's 'Hehuan Treasure Manual'."
"However, regarding the supernatural powers of the Hehuan Sect, the 'Dongting Heart Sword' technique is not very well mastered; it can only be practiced haphazardly."
The Five Lakes Sword Sects are "Juye Light Sword", "Mengze Thunder Sword", "Qinghai Wisdom Sword", "Dongting Heart Sword" and "Taihu Bone Sword".
In Raphael's concept, the "Dongting Heart Sword" is essentially a practitioner who has acquired the ability of the "audience" pathway, the "Concentration Technique."
This is the basic technique of this school of thought.
He felt that using the first three levels of the "Concentration Technique" would be enough to exchange for the extraordinary "Living Resident" trait from Audrey. Otherwise, if he only provided information about the "Aurora Society," he didn't know when he would be able to obtain this trait.
Raphael then said, "Alright, then memorize these two basic techniques, and I'll reluctantly lend you a hand."
The Blood Sect disciple was taken aback: "How can we help?"
"Go to the Futai Restaurant across the street and order a table of first-class food. Then we'll sit there drinking and wait for your companions to arrive," Raphael said. "When they question you about whether you started the fire, I'll say that we've been discussing the 'Blood Sect' cultivation techniques all evening, and in the midst of a pleasant conversation, we even came over for a drink."
The Blood Sect disciple's eyes lit up: "You're also a Qi Sect disciple, they'll definitely believe you."
He said somewhat excitedly, "I'll memorize those two basic techniques right now." Raphael memorized them diligently and unconsciously compared them with the "True Scripture of the Demonic Source." In comparison, the "Great Method of Concentrating the Mind" focuses more on cultivating one's state of mind and forging one's spiritual body. The first two levels of the "Joyful Union Manual" are still normal, but when it comes to the third level, it begins to systematically teach how to cultivate together and how to balance Yin and Yang during the process.
Even male cultivators must pay attention to dual cultivation, mutually replenishing each other with the opposite sex, otherwise excessive yang energy in the body will also affect cultivation.
After obtaining two basic cultivation techniques, Raphael and the Blood Sect disciples went to the Futai Restaurant, which was still open late at night, and ordered a table of first-class food and drinks in a private room.
After sitting down, Raphael gulped down a pot of wine. He glanced at the Blood Sect disciple and said, "You drink a pot too."
The Blood Sect disciple was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood that drinking more would make it seem like they had been chatting for a while, so he also drank a pot of wine.
Then he asked, "May I ask your name?"
Raphael paused for a moment before saying, "Zhou Fei."
"Zhou" was his surname before he traveled through time.
"I am Bai Feike," the other person said. "Brother Zhou, are you a disciple of the 'Qi Sect' of the Dark Lodge?"
Raphael casually hummed in agreement.
Bai Feike then asked, "I've heard that your sect's 'Blood Sect' disciples are on equal footing with the 'Qi Sect' disciples."
Raphael's eyes flashed, then he smiled and said, "I know what you want to ask. I can tell you frankly, Dark Lodge does indeed have unique strengths in the cultivation of the Blood Sect. Otherwise, how could the Blood Sect have produced a mid-stage Void Refinement Realm cultivator in such good condition?"
Raphael would certainly not let go of a "Blood Sect" disciple who had such needs easily, and he himself did not believe the words that came out of his mouth.
The ultimate goal was simply to convince this "Blood Sect" disciple in front of him.
Bai Feike asked excitedly, "Then—Brother Zhou, do you know anything about the cultivation methods of the 'Blood Sect'?"
"It's quite a coincidence," Raphael smiled. "Before I came out to train, I was the disciple in charge of organizing and researching the 'Blood Sect' cultivation methods."
Raphael was extremely meticulous when it came to lying, and he continued, "You should be able to tell from this alone that Dark Lodge is different from other forces."
"In the Dark Abode, disciples of the Qi Sect will also participate in the cultivation of disciples of the Blood Sect, hoping that both sides can learn from each other and gain insights that benefit both."
Bai Feike said with some envy, "Anlu is still the best."
He paused for a moment and then asked, "Um... I..."
Raphael laughed and said, "Speak your mind."
The other party seemed to have made up his mind and said, "I wonder what price I must pay to have a chance to exchange ideas with Brother Zhou?"
Raphael pretended to consider it for a moment: "Meeting me is your good fortune. Just recently, we made a major breakthrough and discovered that the current cultivation method of the 'Blood Sect' is actually very problematic."
"To be honest, the elders of the Blood Sect are heartbroken and wish that all members of the Blood Sect in the world could know about this."
"When I came out to gain experience this time, I received orders to secretly spread the correct cultivation methods."
Bai Feike's eyes lit up.
However, Raphael then laughed and said, "But such a wonderful thing cannot be given to you for nothing."
He also happened to know the "Conspirator's" potion recipe, so he could make a few deals with him.
Bai Feike immediately replied, "Of course I understand."
"I want the basic techniques and supernatural abilities of other schools," Raphael said. "The higher the level, the more thoroughly I will explain them."
Bai Feike hesitated, "But—but I only know the first three levels of the Great Mind Concentration Technique and the Joyful Union Manual."
"That's easy," Raphael smiled. "Since you're out here to gain experience, you're bound to encounter disciples of the 'Blood Sect' from other sects."
Why don't you just go and trade with them?
"And I have a comprehensive understanding of cultivation methods, which can be traded with disciples from other sects and even cults."
He knew the names of all 22 potions, and combined with the "acting method," this was the so-called comprehensive training method.
