Chapter 374: Chapter 155: First to the Prize (Part 3)

“The cultivation difficulty of ’Turtle Breath True Skill’ is very high, requiring a strong control over body, essence, qi, and spirit.”

“Because it’s difficult to cultivate and doesn’t help much in combat abilities, most Martial Artists only learn this true skill in old age to prolong life.”

Lee Mengqi patiently explained.

She had heard from Lee Mengxi that Zhao Hao was not familiar with many high-level martial arts knowledge.

After some interaction, Lee Mengqi felt Zhao Hao’s performance was genuinely unaware, not pretending.

“I see.”

Lin Zheyu’s face showed a look of realization.

In the past, Mr. Liang, due to limitations in strength and vision, only learned a castrated version of the Turtle Breath Skill.

Even that “Seven Evils Ghost Canon” might be a castrated version.

Whenever Lin Zheyu had time, he would take it out to study and found that not only was the soul secret skill lacking a visualization map.

There were also many places within that seemed fine at first glance, but delving deeper felt extremely odd.

“In this case, it’s indeed not easy to directly enhance with source power in the Lee Mansion.”

“Even if I were outside of the Lee Mansion, after breaking through, I need to get the Turtle Breath True Skill quickly.”

“Otherwise, it’s easy to be seen that my Qi and blood transformed nine times, making me stand out as a Qi Blood Dragon Realm genius martial artist amongst ordinary Martial Artists.”

Lin Zheyu pondered inwardly.

He was somewhat hesitant about whether to ask Lee Mengqi directly to exchange the Saber Skill True Skill for Turtle Breath True Skill.

Initially, he chose the Saber Skill True Skill mainly to comprehend the True Intent of Wind, improving his lightweight body technique further.

But even if he comprehended the True Intent of Wind, a noticeable improvement to the lightweight body technique would only occur after transforming into true force.

Before this, its effect is not significant.

Lin Zheyu was currently still only in the Qi Blood Realm, planning to break through to the Qi Blood Dragon Realm and then see if he could advance further within the Qi Blood Realm.

After that, he would break through to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, with a long way to go before transforming into true force and entering the Huajin Level.

There would be plenty of opportunities to learn later, no need to rush.

“But suddenly changing the cultivation technique, would it be too obvious?” Lin Zheyu muttered softly.

He had just had his strength seen through, and if he gave up on the cultivation technique he planned to learn and switched to Turtle Breath True Skill, it would seem like there was some secret he couldn’t reveal.

It felt like trying to hide when there wasn’t anything to hide.

Moreover, he chose the Saber Skill True Skill for another purpose, which was for the cultivation technique after Qi Blood Five Transformations in the true skill.

Lin Zheyu felt that this special cultivation technique like Turtle Breath True Skill might lack the method for refining Qi and blood.

Thus, he felt hesitant.

As they pondered, the two of them arrived at the bookcase for Saber Skill cultivation techniques.

Many books were placed on the shelf, but on the true skill level, there were only the top three.

“Among these three Saber Skill True Skills, two majorly cultivate the True Intent of Wind, and the other one cultivates the Mad War True Intent.”

“Besides Saber Skill, there’s also one Swordsmanship, majorly cultivating the True Intent of Wind.”

“You can understand them and then decide on which true skill to choose.”

Lee Mengqi introduced.

She reached for the true skill secret manual from the shelf, and when she saw the name on it, she couldn’t help but exclaim softly.

“Oh, how did it become this cultivation technique?”

“Where did the other two Saber Skills go?”

Lee Mengqi looked at the cultivation technique in her hands in surprise; these two were incomplete without the true intent map.

“What’s wrong?”

Lin Zheyu saw Lee Mengqi’s strange expression and asked curiously.

“The two Saber Skills majoring in the True Intent of Wind have been taken, probably by others for cultivation.”

Lee Mengqi showed an embarrassed expression: “I apologize, these two cultivation techniques are missing the true intent map, only the incomplete versions are left.”

“There’s also a Swordsmanship majoring in the True Intent of Wind, would Mr. Zhao like to check it out?”

Lee Mengqi said somewhat apologetically.

In the true skill cultivation techniques, the true intent map is crucial; cultivation techniques without the true intent map are considered incomplete versions.

And creating a true intent map is extremely difficult.

It requires a Huajin expert proficient in this cultivation technique to spend spirit energy engraving a unique true intent map.

Then, the true intent experience is integrated into it.

The whole process is extremely time-consuming and mentally taxing.

This kind of true intent map is one-time use, allowing only one Martial Artist to comprehend from it.

Regardless of whether the Martial Artist comprehended successfully, once used, the true intent contained within would gradually vanish over time.

“Is there any other cultivation technique with the True Intent of Wind?” Lin Zheyu asked.

He did not like swords.

Lin Zheyu liked the sturdiness and fierceness of Saber Skills, and the domineering nature of Fist Skills.

Similar to the momentum of his Wild Bull Fist, Lin Zheyu preferred martial arts techniques that are straightforward, powerful, and dominating.

“There are none.”

Lee Mengqi shook her head, her face full of apology.

She had just confirmed last night that the cultivation techniques were in the library and brought Zhao Hao over early this morning.

But unexpectedly, someone had beaten them to it.

It was such a coincidence.

She originally thought that since Lin Zheyu had personally come to the Lee Mansion, she’d show him to the library to pick out the most suitable cultivation technique for him.

Unexpectedly, such an embarrassing thing occurred.

“If Mr. Zhao is willing to wait, I can have someone look for a Saber Skill True Skill for you.”

Lee Mengqi said.

“If not, then Swordsmanship will do.”

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

A Swordsmanship True Skill majoring in the True Intent of Wind, combined with an extraordinary lightweight body technique, seemed elegant and ethereal, which was just acceptable.

“Alright, then…”

“No need to look for it, that cultivation technique has also been taken by me.”

Lee Mengqi’s words were suddenly interrupted by a slightly cold voice.
