Chapter 126: Duo-type cultivation technique

There was a reason as to why most common born cultivators who were poor and didn’t have a family or power to back them up would choose to cultivate mind-tempering cultivation techniques.

After all, so long as a cultivator was able to comprehend their cultivation technique to a high level of proficiency, it meant that they wouldn’t need to spend many resources in order to level up their cultivation level.

Though, at the end of the day, most common born cultivators that chose to cultivate mind-tempering cultivation techniques in hope that they would not have to spend many cultivation resources in order to level up their cultivation levels…

They would slowly come to find out that, learning a single cultivation technique in its own was already hard enough for most common born cultivators, whereby most common born cultivators had to spend years just to be able to properly revolve their cultivation technique with the proficiency level of beginner, thus, let alone comprehending a cultivation technique to a high level of proficiency and reach the point where they wouldn’t have to spend many cultivation resources in order to level up their cultivation levels!

Take the previous Sebastian for example…

With the aptitude of lower-quality spiritual root, and evidently also a poor aptitude of comprehension toward cultivation techniques…

The previous Sebastian ended up spending years just to possess the proficiency of beginner for his sun energy refining technique, and furthermore, the amount of comprehension that he had gained toward the sun energy refining technique wasn’t even halfway to reaching the next proficiency level, which was the proficiency of intermediate.

As for the body-tempering cultivation techniques, it was known as the choice that most cultivators would choose to cultivate if they either possessed a huge amount of cultivation resources or were aware that they didn’t possess a decent aptitude of comprehension toward cultivation techniques.

After all, body-tempering cultivation techniques were much easier to learn and cultivate when compared to mind-tempering cultivation techniques…

Whereby…

Unlike the mind-tempering cultivation techniques, where the speed in which one was able to refine spiritual energy, the amount of spiritual energy in which one was able to absorb into their body from their surroundings alone, and lastly, how much spiritual energy in which one was able to refine in a day…

It all depended on a cultivator’s proficiency toward their mind-tempering cultivation technique!

This meant that, even if a mind-tempering cultivator possessed an unlimited amount of cultivation resources that they could use to increase their cultivation level…

So long as they don’t possess a high level of proficiency toward their mind-tempering cultivation technique, there was only so much cultivation energy that they could refine in a single day, and thus, rendering their unlimited amount of cultivation resources to become pretty much useless in helping them increase their cultivation level!

For the body-tempering cultivation techniques…

So long as a cultivator was able to endure the pain that came when they were tempering their flesh and skin, even if they don’t possess a high aptitude in comprehending cultivation techniques, they were able to continue getting stronger without being hindered by the proficiency level of their cultivation technique, all the way until they reached level 10 of energy refining realm!

Furthermore, this point will continue on being the same even after they had broken through to the foundation establishment realm, all the way until they had to start breaking through to becoming a golden core realm cultivator!

Of course, when a body-tempering cultivator was increasing their cultivation strength, they would be doing so at the expense of using energy stones, medicinal herbs, and cultivation pills.

And to speak the truth, just how many cultivators were even able to successfully break through from foundation establishment realm and become a golden core realm cultivator…?

Take Bright Moon City for example, there was most likely at least tens of thousands of cultivators, and the number was most likely close to a hundred thousand, but the total number of golden core realm cultivators within Bright Moon City was less than 250, and this was the fact that Bright Moon City was one of the 3 biggest cities within the upper north of North Continent and had been in existence for over 800 years.

Thus, most body-tempered cultivators were satisfied so long as they were able to reach the foundation establishment realm, and as for needing a high level of proficiency toward their cultivation technique in order to be able to break through to becoming a golden core realm cultivator…?

That was something that was extremely far away in the future for them and wasn’t something that most would bother worrying about.

In very rare cases, at the least, amongst the cultivators within the lower realm, some cultivators would cultivate both mind-tempering and body-tempering techniques.

But to be able to do so, one would not only require an extremely high level of aptitude toward not only just comprehending cultivation techniques, but also a decently high comprehension toward the heavenly dao that they were cultivating!

Naturally, if a cultivator was able to possess the capability of cultivating both mind-tempering and body-tempering techniques at an extremely high proficiency level, at this point, the problem of cultivation resources wouldn’t be an issue to them at all.

After all, this kind of cultivator was fought over fiercely by various sects and powers, and once this cultivator had joined a sect or power, the sect or power would definitely invest as much cultivation resources as they possibly could onto the cultivator.

In truth, the four divinity beasts reconstruction technique that Sebastian possessed was a duo-type cultivation technique, whereby it was both a mind-tempering and body-tempering technique.

However, for the four divinity beasts reconstruction technique to even start working properly, Sebastian had to first be done with reconstructing his various body parts, or at the least, a decent percentage of his various body parts.

In the technique’s current state, aside from being able to refine essences into essences of the four divinity beasts, and using those essences to reconstruct Sebastian’s various parts, the four divinity beast reconstruction technique didn’t provide any help in tempering either Sebastian’s body or mind.
