Chapter 100: Heart Origin Technique

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei walked in front of a stall and found that there were all kinds of cultivation technique manuals on it. Seeing this scene, the scene of Chi Defcng selling cultivation technique manuals in Pingyin County suddenly appeared in Chen Fei’s mind.

“Senior Brother, what do you want?” The stall owner was extremely enthusiastic.

“Is this the Sutra Library?” Chen Fei pointed at the pavilion in the distance.

“Yes, this is the Sutra Library.”

The stall owner looked at Chen Fei’s puzzled expression and couldn’t help but laugh. “This is the first time Senior Brother has come to the Sutra Library, right? Our secret manuals are all obtained from the outside, so they are different from those in the Sutra Library. Moreover, we accept silver taels here, or bartering is also possible.”

Chen Fei nodded but still asked curiously, “The sect allows you to set up a stall like this?”

“I don’t know about last time, but when I came here, this place was already like this.”

The stall owner was not old either. He scratched his head and said, “Senior Brother, have you been to the Treasure Depository? There are also stalls outside there, but they sell all kinds of weapons and sundries.”

Chen Fei was somewhat enlightened. It seemed that the sect did not specially open up a market, so they simply set up stalls in front of the two pavilions as the disciples wished.

“Senior Brother, do you want to take a look at the secret manuals? Although the ones here are not as good as the ones in the Sutra Library, they are cheaper and easier to learn.” The stall owner pushed a secret manual at the stall.

II

Is there anything that can strengthen one’s mental defense?” Chen Fei asked with an attitude of giving it a try.

“Yes, Senior Brother, take a look at this one.” The stall owner rummaged through the stall and took out a secret manual, and handed it to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei took it and flipped through it. After a moment, he closed the secret manual and muttered to himself.

There was only half a secret manual, but he could still see something. The effect was similar to the Clear Heart Formula that Chen Fei was currently using. When cultivated to perfection, one could see through illusions to a certain extent and would not be easily tempted by strange things.

If he had come across such a secret manual before coming to the Immortal Cloud City, Chen Fei would have bought it without hesitation. Although it overlapped with the Clear Heart Formula, it would be more powerful after fusing with it.

But now, he was in the Primordial Sword Sect, and such a secret manual was somewhat useless unless there was no better choice in the Sutra Library.

II

How much?” Chen Fei asked.

II

Five hundred taels,” The stall owner said with a smile.

Chen Fei nodded and returned the secret manual.

II

Senior Brother, don’t be in a hurry to leave. If you think it’s expensive, you can make a price.” Seeing that Chen Fei was about to leave, the stall owner hurriedly said.

The corner of Chen Fei’s mouth twitched slightly. This tactic was so familiar. If he really bargained later, the stall owner would probably agree immediately.

Chen Fei did not say anything. He waved his hand and walked into the Sutra Library without looking at the other stalls.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, the noise outside disappeared.

There were many people in the Sutra Library, but no one made a sound. It was extremely quiet.

It was very similar to the library that Chen Fei saw in his previous life. Rows of bookshelves were neatly arranged. The bookshelves were not filled with real secret manuals but detailed introductions to secret cultivation techniques.

If you wanted to get the real secret manual, you had to go to the side of the door. There was a counter there. After the managing disciple registered you, the real secret manual would be handed to you.

The Sutra Library was divided into four areas: movement techniques, sword techniques, inner strength, and miscellaneous techniques.

There were very few people in the inner strength area. The power of the Origin Connection Technique was extraordinary, and it was connected to the other techniques of the Primordial Sword Sect. Very few disciples would change their cultivation. Most disciples would stay in the sword technique and movement technique area.

The master of each inner sect disciple could only teach a few movement techniques and sword techniques permitted by the sect. Not everything that the master knew could be taught. Thus, if one discovered that the cultivation technique was not compatible with one’s body, one would have to go to the Sutra Library to look for it.

This way, the importance of contribution points could be maintained.

As for some disciples, they came here purely to broaden their horizons and did not necessarily have to exchange for any cultivation techniques.

Chen Fei skipped the other areas and arrived at the miscellaneous arts area.

There were many secret manuals here. Other than sword techniques, all the weapon techniques were placed here. Of course, there were also pill recipes, refining techniques, and even zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. They were all quite complicated.

Chen Fei first went to the pill formula corner and took down the pill formula of the Flying Ascent Pill, taking a look at the price.

2,000 contribution points!

Chen Fei’s eyes lit up. The price was much lower than he had imagined. The only thing was that the things learned here were not allowed to be spread without permission. If they were discovered, the consequences would be quite serious.

After briefly reading the introduction of the Flying Ascent Pill and finding that it was similar to what Chen Fei knew, Chen Fei put the book back.

Chen Fei thought for a moment and found the formula for the Meridian Protecting Pill.

1,000 contribution points!

The price was still acceptable, just like what Chen Fei had planned. Time was a little tight now, so this kind of pill, with a small audience and medicinal ingredients that were hard to find, was not suitable for Chen Fei for the time being.

Putting the book back, Chen Fei began to search for cultivation techniques that could strengthen his mind.

After looking around, the bookshelf was too big. Chen Fei asked a fellow disciple and found a bookshelf in the corner.

Chen Fei stepped forward to take a look, and his face could not help but reveal a trace of joy. There was actually more than half a bookshelf here that was filled with cultivation techniques and secret manuals related to the mind.

Originally, Chen Fei was worried that it would be difficult to obtain a book. Now, it seemed that he had underestimated the foundation of the Primordial Sword Sect. This was completely caused by Chen Fei’s lack of knowledge.

After all, he had just come from a small place where all the secret manuals were tightly sealed.

Chen Fei began to flip through the first book in the upper right corner. He planned to check every single one of the mind secret manuals here and finally determine what he needed.

Two hours passed quietly. The introduction of the two secret manuals left in Chen Fei’s hands made him hesitate.

The reason for his hesitation was very simple. He liked both books, but he did not have enough contribution points. Chen Fei could only choose one book to exchange.

Heart Origin Technique!

It was also known as the Heart Monkey Mantra, which could subdue one’s body like how one would subdue an ape, constantly beating and unable to calm down. If one was successful in cultivation, they could remain calm at all times and clearly capture every thought in their body.

It was similar to the Clear Heart Formula, but the Heart Origin Technique was even more powerful. When cultivated to perfection, the Heart Origin Technique could use the power of one’s thoughts to strengthen one’s mind in preparation for the Aperture Tempering realm.

Cultivating the aperture required a strong mind to be able to use it to measure the aperture points and open them. If one’s mind was lacking, they wouldn’t even be able to measure it, let alone open it.

5,500 contribution points!

Chen Fei did not find this price too expensive. Instead, he felt that it was worth it. After all, if he could strengthen his mind now, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort when he cultivated to the aperture tempering state in the future.

The only thing was that this cultivation technique was more of a gradual and gradual path. Even if he cultivated it to perfection, it would not be able to increase Chen Fei’s ability to resist mental attacks.

It required time, just like the growth of inner strength.

Heart Locking Technique!

Through a special method, one could compress one’s mind. Although the total amount of his mind remained the same, the density of his mind had increased by quite a bit. Thus, his defense against mind attacks had naturally increased by quite a bit.

Furthermore, as he cultivated to the later stages, due to the increase in the purity of his mind essence, he would be able to control it with ease. The only drawback was that it was extremely difficult to compress.

It was difficult even to compress inner strength, let alone control one’s mind. As a result, the difficulty of cultivating this Heart Locking Technique was similar to the Heart Origin Technique, but it was much harder to get started.

The Heart Origin Technique was not easy to learn, but it was easier in comparison to the other.

Heart Locking Technique required 5,000 contribution points.

If possible, Chen Fei hoped to exchange for both books. At that time, his mental capacity would increase again, and he would not let go of the purity. When he was preparing to measure his acupoints in the future, he would definitely be able to do it with ease.

Unfortunately, he was short of points. Reality did not allow Chen Fei to have both, so he could only choose one first.

“To a certain extent, the Clear Heart Formula can actually see through illusions. If I can increase my mental capacity, I might be able to increase the effects of the Clear Heart Formula.”

Chen Fei hesitated for a moment before choosing the Heart Origin Technique. He wanted to strengthen his mind first. After all, it would be more beneficial for the future. As for the Heart Locking Technique’s ability to compress the mind, he could only wait until he had more contribution points.

After making up his mind, Chen Fei came to the counter of the Sutra Depository.

“Exchange for the Flying Ascent Pill and the Heart Origin Technique.”

Chen Fei handed over his waist token. The managing disciple glanced at Chen Fei. The two items were worth 7,500 contribution points. Most of the disciples in the Visceral Tempering realm would find it difficult to obtain so many contribution points.

He did not expect that this Bone Tempering realm disciple in front of him would actually have so many contribution points.

The managing disciple didn’t ask much, nor did he give any reminders. He deducted the contribution points recorded in the waist token in a business-like manner, and at the same time, he asked someone to bring Chen Fei to a room.

There were two secret manuals on the table. They were the recipe for the Flying Ascent Pill and the Heart Origin Technique. What Chen Fei needed to do now was to copy the cultivation technique and take it away.

In the future, if Chen Fei’s cultivation method was discovered, a secret manual of this level might be leaked. At that time, Chen Fei’s cultivation might be abolished, and he might be expelled from the sect.

Therefore, most people would destroy the secret manual after they finished cultivating.

Two hours later, Chen Fei left the Sutra Library and returned to his room.

II

Discovered pill formula. Do you want to spend a thousand taels of silver to simplify the pill formula?”

“The pill formula for the Flying Ascent Pill is being simplified. Simplification was successful. The recipe for the Flying Ascent Pill -> the recipe for the Eternal Floating Pill!”

The result of the simplified version was not surprising. Chen Fei looked at the Heart Origin Technique.

After spending an hour trying out the Heart Origin Technique, the results were still considered smooth. After all, he had the foundation of the Clear Heart Formula.

[Cultivation Method: Beginner Heart Origin Technique (1/2000)]

11

Fuse Clear Heart Formula and the Heart Origin Technique!”

11

Discovered the Tranquil Origin Technique Do you want to spend five thousand taels of silver to simplify the Tranquil Origin Technique?”

“The Tranquil Origin Technique is being simplified. The simplified version was successful. Tranquil Origin Technique -> Tranquil Heart Technique!”

“Cultivation Method: Tranquil Origin Technique Mastery (2356/5000)”

Chen Fei looked at the information displayed on the interface. Not only had the simplified version cost a lot more, but after the fusion, the proficiency had also undergone a huge change.

Just the proficiency of the Master level required 5,000 points. Fortunately, the difficulty of cultivation did not affect Chen Fei much after he simplified it. It was just the length of time spent.

The matter of the cultivation technique was not over yet. Chen Fei took out the Spirit Tool Comprehension that he had just obtained today.

After spending an hour, Chen Fei finished reading the Spirit Tool Comprehension. Chen Fei tried to operate it, but it was extremely obscure and failed immediately.

Chen Fei was not in a hurry. He calmly spent more than two hours and finally succeeded in circulating it in his mind..
