Chapter 335: Chapter 250: Derivation Skill (Level 3), Establish 6 New Research and Development Tasks! [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]_2
"’Washing Marrow Scripture’ follows ’Yijinjing’."
"These two scriptures, the latter focuses on postnatal skill and the former on innate skill, both are superior internal strengths, inheriting one line, they can strengthen my foundation."
"’Nine Yang Scripture’ contains the ultimate truth of martial arts, it is the strongest inner strength in the world. After practicing ’Innate Skill’, the next internal cultivation should be Nine Yang!"
The final ’Six Meridian Divine Sword’ needs no more explanation.
’One Yang Finger’ is the foundation of ’Six Meridian Divine Sword’. Since Yan Chuan has already created ’One Yang Finger’ and already cultivated it, naturally there’s no reason to miss the ’Six Meridian Divine Sword’.
Not to mention the exquisite nature and power of ’Six Meridian Divine Sword’ itself.
Moreover, learning the Six Meridian Divine Sword on the basis of One Yang Finger, will undoubtedly yield double results with half the effort.
Yan Chuan certainly wouldn’t miss out.
Thus—
"Yijinjing, Innate Skill, One Yang Finger, Wave Riding Micro Steps, Dugu Nine Swords, this is my current martial arts system."
"Washing Marrow Scripture, Nine Yang Scripture, Six Meridian Divine Sword, Wave Riding Micro Steps, this will be my next stage configuration of martial arts."
One generation surpasses the next.
One martial art inherits another.
In this way, although Yan Chuan changes to stronger martial arts, not only is it not hard to cultivate, but it becomes more manageable, easily undergoing upgrades, like trading an old musket for a cannon.
Washing Marrow Scripture.
Nine Yang Scripture.
Six Meridian Divine Sword.
This is Yan Chuan’s next direction.
It’s not just for himself; he also intends to develop a new absolute skill for Wang Zhengyi, Fu Yunzhan, and Wang Ge each, as supplements and matches for ’Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill’, ’Evil Exorcism Sword Skill’, and ’Seven Injuries Fist’, enabling the three to reach new heights during the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion.
Three plus three makes six!
Second-level "Derivation Skill" can establish up to four research and development tasks simultaneously, which is insufficient.
Fortunately.
After the successful research of ’Evil Exorcism Sword Skill’, ’Seven Injuries Fist’, ’Innate Skill’, and ’One Yang Finger’, the accumulated ’experience’ of Yan Chuan is enough to upgrade ’Purple Mist Palace’ once again.
The first upgrade precisely concerns "Derivation Skill"!
...
["Derivation Skill" (Level Two): You can establish research tasks, gain inspiration, develop martial arts, and complete tasks to obtain ’experience’ and ’spiritual’. The current number of tasks that can be created: 4.]
(Upgrading to the next level requires consuming 10 million experience.)
...
["Derivation Skill" (Level Three): You can establish research tasks, gain inspiration, develop martial arts, and complete tasks to obtain ’experience’ and ’spiritual’. You can choose to settle tasks early, receiving different extents of enlightenment depending on the progress of inspiration. The ’martial arts’ developed, and the settled ’experience’ and ’spiritual’ will have different levels of reduction according to task completion. The current number of tasks that can be created: 6.]
(Upgrading to the next level requires consuming 100 million experience.)
...
"Derivation Skill" has been upgraded to third level, bringing new changes.
First, the number of tasks that can be created increased from 4 to 6, enabling the development of 6 martial arts at the same time, greatly enhancing the efficiency of R&D and the growth speed of experience, and spiritual.
This upgrade was within Yan Chuan’s expectations.
But the added change was somewhat unexpected.
"Early task settlement?"
Even when "Derivation Skill" was still at the first and second levels, Yan Chuan could also settle tasks early by consuming 5000 spiritual points, but more accurately, it should be ’giving up’ rather than ’settling’.
But now it’s different—
"Settling tasks early, as long as there is a certain progress in inspiration, you can obtain rewards including ’martial arts’, ’experience’, and ’spiritual’."
For example, when Yan Chuan develops ’Beiming Divine Skill’—
If settled early with as little as 20 points of inspiration, conducting enlightenment, maybe only Xiang Wentian’s ’Absorption Technique’ would be comprehended.
If settled at around 50 points of inspiration, perhaps Star Sect Old Immortal’s ’Energy Transformation Technique’ could be comprehended.
If settled around 80 points of inspiration, possibly Ren Woxing’s ’Absorption Star Great Method’ could be deciphered.
"Early settlement."
Yan Chuan raised an eyebrow, realizing: "The benefit of this function lies in that later when I want to develop martial arts following one inheritance, there is no need to progress from low-level to high level like ’Mixed Element Skill’ → ’Purple Mist Divine Skill’ → ’Innate Skill’, I can change the direction and change the mindset—"
Yan Chuan can very well establish a major task first, such as ’Innate Skill’.
Then continue developing, continually accumulating inspiration.
If one can wait, they can wait until the inspiration progress hits a hundred in one go to develop ’Innate Skill’.
But if there’s an urgent need, and it’s pressing to enhance oneself with internal strength, then there’s no need to wait until inspiration is fully accumulated; one can estimate roughly and settle early, developing ’Purple Mist Divine Skill’ or an even lower level ’Mixed Element Skill’, using and cultivating it first.
For instance, if the function had existed when Yan Chuan started researching ’Yijinjing’, he could have settled early, following the development thought and martial art theory of ’Yijinjing’, and developed a simplified or weakened version of ’Yijinjing’, thereby directly cultivating it, enhancing his own foundation, while freeing a precious research and development slot, achieving two goals in one stroke.
As for now—
"I have six research slots, no longer short."
"But I can finalize my main cultivation methods and the route I want to take in the future, and then continue researching and advancing along this path."
If wanting to cultivate the ultimate truth of Dao, directly pointing to the root, one can choose "Primordial Gold Seal", establish the task, research continually, gain inspiration, use as needed, or comprehend a series of martial arts like "Yuxu Palm", "Sky Flipping Three Palm", "Wuji Four Formulas", "Yin Yang Change", "Tai Chu Finger", "Five Taos Five Virtues Fist" etc., from high to low, and low to high, all can be developed, all inherit one line, no fear of cultivating too much or too varied, as all these developments and cultivations ultimately prepare and lay a foundation for the "Primordial Gold Seal", making all the efforts worthwhile.
If aspiring to achieve martial arts divine skills of ’undirtied and unclean, neither birth nor extinction, sanctified flesh, uncorroded by ten thousand catastrophes, three heads and six arms, boundless transformations, adept at dodging disasters, omnipotent in power’, then the research into "Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill" in this series, settling early, may develop "Heaven Stepping Sea Walking Stick Technique", "Jade Void Pure Origin Saber Technique", "Sun Tathagata Swordsmanship", "Stepping Void Somersault Step", "Bodhi Eye", "72 Transformations" and such absolute skills.
This is one of the new changes in the third level of "Derivation Skill", seemingly ordinary, yet has endless practical uses.
...
"Then."
"What path should I take?"
Yan Chuan questioned his own heart but temporarily had no answer.
He is currently cultivating ’Innate Skill’, ’Yijinjing’, ’One Yang Finger’, and researching ’Nine Yang Scripture’, ’Washing Marrow Scripture’, ’Six Meridian Divine Sword’. In the short term, there’s room for progress, not urgently needing to determine the path ahead, large research projects can be set aside for now; for the moment, the remaining three research slots should still be reserved for Wang Zhengyi, Fu Yunzhan, and Wang Ge.
"Wang Zhengyi possesses immense qi power. After cultivating ’Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill’, he will move to another level. On this basis, if he further cultivates ’Dragon Elephant Wisdom’, ten Dragons and Ten Elephants, who can withstand?"
’Dragon Elephant Wisdom’ suits Wang Zhengyi very well.
Yan Chuan decided without hesitation—
[Task Four]
[Research Project Name: Dragon Elephant Wisdom (Difficulty: Geng★★★★★)]
[Inspiration: 0]
[Completing the task can earn ’Experience +250,000’, ’Spiritual +250,000’.]
...
As for Fu Yunzhan, there’s even less to think about.
"’Evil Exorcism Sword Skill’ comes from the ’Kuihua Manual’, Fu Yunzhan’s ultimate destination is naturally the ’Kuihua Manual’!"
[Task Five]
[Research Project Name: Kuihua Manual (Difficulty: Geng★★★★★)]
[Inspiration: 0]
[Completing the task can earn ’Experience +250,000’, ’Spiritual +250,000’.]
...
After Wang Zhengyi and Fu Yunzhan, it’s Wang Ge’s turn.
Regarding Wang Ge’s next absolute skill, Yan Chuan hesitated slightly.
Wang Ge doesn’t have as distinctive features as Wang Zhengyi and Fu Yunzhan, but starting from ’Seven Injuries Fist’, as soon as Yan Chuan’s thought circulated, he quickly had an idea—
"’Seven Injuries Fist’ first injures oneself and then injures others. Wang Ge will find it difficult to achieve great success in internal strength in the short term, and cultivating ’Seven Injuries Fist’ will inevitably involve self-damage, and I can’t always protect him constantly."
"The Wang Ge who practices ’Seven Injuries Fist’ needs an injury healing manual!"
Speaking of the most efficient recovery internal cultivation methods, Yan Chuan instantly had an idea—
"The ultimate medical classic, revive the dead, none other than it!"
[Task Six]
[Research Project Name: Divine Light Scripture (Difficulty: Geng★★★★★)]
[Inspiration: 0]
[Completing the task can earn ’Experience +250,000’, ’Spiritual +250,000’.]
