Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

I Take It Back

Chen Fei and Chi Defeng bargained a few more times before settling on a price of 10% more than the market price. Chen Fei would pick up the goods at this time six days later.

Chen Fei left the black market and returned to his rented courtyard with a smile on his face.

Actually, even if the price of medicinal herbs was jacked up by 100% of the market price, it was not a big deal for Chen Fei. After all, after the medicinal herbs were refined into pills, the profits would’ve already increased by dozens of times.

However, when doing business with others, it was impossible for one to agree to whatever price others said right from the start. The other party would not think that you were being generous but that you were easy to deceive. In the future, all kinds of trouble would come knocking on your door.

Chen Fei took out a body technique manual from the foot of the bed and began to study it.

He had already fused Cloud Crossing with the thirteenth secret manual. Every time he cultivated it to Great Completion, the time it took to get there got shorter and shorter. This meant that the new secret manual’s enhancement to movement technique was already weakening at an accelerated rate.

After 15 minutes, he finished reading the new manual, and Swallow’s Flight’s information appeared on the interface. Chen Fei fused the perfected Cloud Crossing with Swallow’s Flight.

[Cultivation Technique: Cloud Crossing (Perfect 7325/10000)]

He had just fused with it, and he was already close to perfection. This meant that there was less and less room for improvement. When he fused a new secret manual and reached Great Completion, it meant that there was no possibility of improving this cultivation technique.

Originally, Chen Fei had thought of relying on the fusion of various low-level cultivation techniques to continuously improve and create an even stronger cultivation technique. It was undoubtedly a little whimsical.

After all, when a beginner-level cultivation technique was created, the train of thought was very simple. Fortunately, the interface could simplify those incomplete secret manuals. Otherwise, Chen Fei really had no idea where to find new cultivation techniques.

A few miles away.

“Help me kill someone. If you succeed, the debt you owe back then will be settled.”

“Who is it?”

“Qingzheng Medical Hall, Chen Fei!”

“The Zhang family won’t let this matter rest is we kill someone from the Qingzheng Medical Hall.”

“Now that the bandits are running amok in the county, you can leave plant some evidence and push the blame on those people. Moreover, that kid is quite wealthy now, you’re really getting a bargain!”

“Alright, I’ll accept this mission!”

The room fell silent again. One of them left while the other limped towards the table. Under the candlelight, a ferocious face was revealed.

“We went together that day. Yet, it was my leg that was broken, and I became a cripple while you assumed the cushy position of deputy manager. You’ve taken everything that’s worth taking!” The sinister murmurs were accompanied by the flickering candlelight.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Pingyin County was peaceful for a while. The bandits did not appear again. It seemed that they had given up on Pingyin County.

Chen Fei’s cultivation had already reached a critical point. At the same time, he had fused sixteen movement technique manuals, and he could no longer advance.

Chen Fei simplified the high-level movement technique that he had specially collected and obtained a technique called the Fleetfoot.

It wasn’t a complete movement technique manual but a technique. According to Chen Fei’s comprehension, using this technique would increase one’s running speed for a short period of time.

It would drain his energy, but there would be no other serious sequelae.

Chen Fei was overjoyed, and without hesitation, he fused this technique into Cloud Crossing.

The current Cloud Crossing was extremely well-rounded after fusing more than a dozen physical techniques. The fusion of the two didn’t make Cloud Crossing look like a monster. Instead, he gained an explosive secret technique.

At the same time, his proficiency dropped to perfection (8123/10000).

According to Chen Fei’s current cultivation speed, it would only take one or two days for him to cultivate it to Great Completion.

“Cloud Crossing can perfectly accommodate high-level movement techniques because it has fused with more than ten cultivation techniques. If my sword technique wants to perfectly fuse with a sword technique like Immortal Way, other than the second simplified version, completing the fusion of the basic sword techniques could also be a solution?”

Chen Fei couldn’t help but have this thought in his mind, but it was immediately overthrown by himself.

Sword techniques were different from movement techniques. The Fleetfoot was actually more like an explosive state rather than a certain footwork. That was why they could be perfectly compatible.

“However, if I were to fuse the basic sword techniques to Great Completion, it would be beneficial for fusing other high-level sword techniques in the future. At the very least, it will be much more inclusive,” Chen Fei muttered to himself.

Now that his footwork had been upgraded to a new level, the next step was to cultivate and fight his enemies. There was no end to earning proficiency points.

As for his cultivation, Chen Fei looked at the interface and noticed that it was only a few points away.

Chen Fei couldn’t help but sit cross-legged and circulate the Wind Suspending Breathing Technique. The qi and blood in his body began to surge continuously. Chen Fei’s skin began to turn slightly red. A warm current circulated on the surface of his skin and gradually seeped into his muscles.

After some period of time, Chen Fei’s body trembled slightly. A brand-new power bloomed from within his body, and Chen Fei couldn’t stop himself from opening his eyes.

Rustling sounds came from the surroundings, and Chen Fei could see further in the darkness than he could before.

The extreme tranquility of the night was mixed with many disturbing sounds. The two feelings blended together and filled Chen Fei’s mind.

“There’s someone!”

Chen Fei suddenly turned his head to look outside the door. After breaking through, Chen Fei felt a disturbance in the courtyard. There was someone hiding there.

Chen Fei raised the long sword in his hand, opened the door, and walked into the courtyard. It was as if he was someone who couldn’t fall asleep and who came out to relieve his boredom.

“Tsk!”

Chen Fei’s body moved to the left. A cold light flashed, and a flying knife plunged into the wall of the courtyard. At the same time, a black shadow leaped from the corner to the top of the wall to stare coldly at Chen Fei.

The man in black did not say anything. Instead, he disappeared from his spot with just a slight movement of his body.

Chen Fei looked at the back of the black-clothed man. Recently, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he was being secretly followed and observed. Chen Fei thought that it was probably someone sent by Sun Shu. But today, this person had hidden in the courtyard. When he realized that something was wrong, he launched an attack without holding back. Clearly, it was not a simple stalking.

Fleetfoot!

The Qi and blood in his body flowed in accordance with a specific route, and Chen Fei felt his body suddenly become lighter as his surroundings seemingly slowed down.

A breeze blew, and as the branches swayed, Chen Fei could clearly see how the leaves were shaking.

In the next moment, Chen Fei stepped back with his right foot and appeared behind the black-clothed man in a flash. The long sword in his hand had already stabbed out.

The man in black felt something strange behind him and turned around instinctively. He saw the long sword stabbing toward him, and his eyes were filled with fear and disbelief. How could Chen Fei be so fast!

According to the information he received, he had just broken through to the Skin Toughening realm.

In addition, he had been cautious and had even followed Chen Fei for a few days to confirm his cultivation. He had not noticed anyone protecting him. Thus, he planned to kill Chen Fei today and end this mission.

But now, what was going on with the movement technique and sword move that Chen Fei displayed?

“Tsk!”

The blade pierced through his chest, and the man in black fell to the ground, his mouth full of blood.

Chen Fei flashed to the side and looked down at the man in black before asking, “Who sent you?”

“If you promise not to kill me, I’ll tell you.” The man in black covered his wound and said in a low voice.

“Sure!” Chen Fei thought for a moment and nodded.

“Pu Liao, he asked me to come!” The man in black gritted his teeth. He felt that he had been tricked by Pu Liao. When he returned this time, he would definitely make Pu Liao pay!

Chen Fei frowned as he chewed on it. Why would Pu Liao send someone to kill him when he had done nothing to offend him?

“Can I go now?” The black-robed man struggled to stand up. Chen Fei’s sword had crippled his strength, but he could still move if he really tried.

Looking at the man in black, Chen Fei shook his head slightly. He walked forward deliberately and said, “Any last words?”

“What are you planning to do? You promised not to kill me just now. You can’t go back on your word!” The man in black screamed in fear.

“I take it back!”

The sword light flashed, and the tip of the sword pierced through the man in black’s heart. The man in black looked at Chen Fei in disbelief and slowly fell back.
