He Song nodded slightly at Ping’er, expressing his needs.
After introducing Qi into the body and reaching the first-tier Qi Refining, cultivators are still at their weakest stage.
With too little spirit power in the body and no skills to protect themselves, cultivators at this stage are likely to face defeat even against a mortal warrior.
Therefore, after reaching the first-tier Qi Refining, cultivators usually choose several basic skills for protection and other purposes as soon as possible.
He Song was previously unaware of this.
But after Wei Fan’s guidance, he understood the importance of these basic skills to himself.
That is why he came to the Spirit Skill Pavilion, wanting to learn a few basic skills.
He also intended to browse the books that recorded common knowledge of the Cultivation World in the Spirit Skill Pavilion.
This would help him gain a better understanding of the Cultivation World and fill in the gaps in his knowledge.
“Basic skills? Mr. He, please follow me.” Ping’er led He Song to another area after hearing his request.
They stopped in front of an unoccupied table.
A cup of hot tea was poured for He Song.
Waiting for a moment, Ping’er came back with a tray in her hand and placed it in front of He Song.
There were more than ten jade slips quietly placed on the tray, looking very enticing.
Putting down the tray, Ping’er picked up a jade slip from the tray and began her introduction.
“This is the Spirit Vision Skill, which allows you to check the cultivation level of others at any time, avoiding provoking the powerful.”
“This is the Fireball Skill, which can gather fireballs to kill enemies with formidable power.”
“This is the Sound Transmission Skill, the go-to choice for first-tier Qi Refining cultivators to communicate with friends over long distances. The speed is very fast, and it is almost impossible to intercept. If intercepted, the information will self-destruct, ensuring high security.”
“This is the Light Body Skill, which can increase one’s walking speed, essential for long journeys and escaping danger.”
“This is the Breath Concealment Formulas, which can hide one’s aura, making it almost undetectable by others.”
“This is the…”
As Ping’er introduced each skill, He Song’s eyes were full of wonder.
He wanted all of them!
These skills really are must-haves for every cultivator.
However, before coming to the Spirit Skill Pavilion, Wei Fan had specifically told He Song that there were three skills he must choose, and other basic skills could be purchased when he had more spirit stones in the future.
The three must-choose skills were:
One was the Spirit Vision Skill.
One was the Sound Transmission Skill.
And the other was the Breath Concealment Formulas.
With the Spirit Vision Skill, one can instantly detect another person’s cultivation level, avoiding attracting stronger opponents; unlike divine sense scanning, the Spirit Vision Skill only detects cultivation levels and does not acquire additional information, thus it is not perceived as intrusive.contemporary romance
Spirit Vision Skill is different from divine sense scanning; it is more like the Qi Observing Skill, allowing you to see the opponent’s cultivation level without causing annoyance.
On the other hand, divine sense scanning feels like being groped by a stranger—no one would like that.
So, in the Cultivation World, everyone accepts the use of the Spirit Vision Skill as normal and doesn’t mind, but using divine sense scanning is considered a major taboo.
The Sound Transmission Skill, after exchanging auras with a friend, allows cultivators to communicate with each other over long distances by releasing a paper crane or a bird. It is the preferred method of communication for Qi Refining cultivators.
Of course, if the other party is within a Defensive Array or has activated the Breath Concealment Formulas to hide their aura, the Sound Transmission Skill won’t be able to find them and will stop at the point where their aura disappeared.
Exchanging auras with a friend is like adding a friend; this small part of the aura can be used to contact the other party without worrying about being tracked.
If a special skill that changes one’s aura is used, the Sound Transmission Skill will become ineffective.
At the same time, if the Sound Transmission Skill is intercepted, the information it carries will be instantly destroyed, and the person who cast the skill will be notified.
The Breath Concealment Formulas are used to conceal one’s aura, making it nearly impossible for others to detect. It is the best option for hiding from calamity and avoiding danger.
Of course, the Breath Concealment Formulas can only shield detection; if someone sees you with their naked eye, they will still see that you exist.
The Breath Concealment Formulas merely hide one’s aura; they are not an invisibility skill.
Therefore, after using the Breath Concealment Formulas, if you don’t want others to find you, it’s best to hide and avoid being seen.
When using the Spirit Vision Skill to observe someone who has activated the Breath Concealment Formulas, it can’t see their cultivation level.
With the Spirit Vision Skill, cultivators can determine the level of others as long as they are not using the Breath Concealment Formulas.
“Each of these skills costs only ten spirit stones. Which ones do you need, Mr. He?” After introducing all the skills on the tray, Ping’er looked at He Song and asked softly.
The skills sold at the Spirit Skill Pavilion are all contained in jade slips, ensuring that there will never be issues with missing passages or unsuccessful cultivation.
After purchasing the jade slips, just attach them to your body and all the knowledge and techniques they contain will be instantly transferred to you.
Moreover, the jade slips also contain the previous cultivators’ experiences and insights related to these skills.
It’s enough to save a lot of detours for the first-time practitioner of this skill.
Such comprehensive service naturally can’t be cheap.
However, instead of searching for less expensive handwritten versions in the Stall Section, He Song preferred to buy the genuine product at the Spirit Skill Pavilion.
Not for any other reason.
It’s just out of fear of being cheated.
Not being able to practice with the handwritten version would be a minor issue. But if practicing caused an error, that would be a big problem.
However, the price of ten spirit stones for this skill made He Song feel a little pained.
His previous self had only spent one spirit stone to buy a set of Thick Earth Formulas that could be practiced up to ninth-tier Qi Refining.
Now he had to spend ten spirit stones to buy a single skill.
He only had over thirty spirit stones in total, and could at most learn three skills.
After learning the three essential basic skills for cultivators, he would only have a few spirit stones left.
Which would barely be enough to cover his food expenses for this year.
Really, the skill is so expensive that it is outrageous?
He Song’s hesitation quickly disappeared.
“I need the Spirit Vision Skill, Breath Concealment Formulas, and Sound Transmission Skill. Thank you, my friend.”
He Song nodded his head at Ping’er and handed over thirty spirit stones from his sleeve.
After receiving the spirit stones from He Song.
Ping’er picked out three jade slips from the tray and handed them to He Song.
“Simply attach the jade slip to your forehead.”
The gentle female voice came again.
Not saying anything else, He Song took out a jade slip and attached it to his forehead.
The next moment.
All the information about the Breath Concealment Formulas was firmly imprinted in He Song’s memory.
In just an instant, He Song thoroughly understood how to practice Breath Concealment Formulas and the various functions it would have after completion.
He did the same for the remaining two jade slips, and after completing all three basic skills, He Song opened his eyes.
It has to be said.
Using jade slips to learn skills is indeed very effective.
He Song, who had just learned three basic skills, didn’t feel tired at all. On the contrary, he felt refreshed, and the memories of the three basic skills in his mind seemed even deeper.
“If Mr. He needs anything else, please feel free to call me. Books on cultivation knowledge are on the shelf over there, Mr. He can browse them at will. I have some other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first.”
Leaving behind those words, Ping’er’s figure disappeared.
First-tier Qi Refining, wearing the Immortal Pavilion internal staff’s clothing, and only purchasing three basic skills.
Such obvious characteristics had already given Ping’er some understanding of He Song.
According to her experience in attending to guests in the past, He Song was likely to spend time browsing some general knowledge books in the Spirit Skill Pavilion and wouldn’t leave so soon.
Perhaps, for the next few days, He Song would visit the Spirit Skill Pavilion every day.
But he wouldn’t buy any more skills.
Naturally, there was no need for her to attend to him.
“Thank you, Friend Ping’er.”
Bowing his hand to the departing Ping’er, He Song suppressed his urge to immediately return home and practice the three skills.
Walking to a nearby bookshelf, He Song casually picked up a book and started reading silently.
“Record of Spirit Plants”, “Record of Spirit Mines”, “Demonic Beast Pictures”, “Cultivator Realm Division”, “Thick Earth Sect’s Surrounding Power Distribution”…
One book after another was scanned by He Song’s gaze, giving him a rough understanding of the Cultivation World he was in.
He Song was currently in the Thick Earth Sect, a sect with the power of a Golden Core Realm.
Thick Earth Sect had jurisdiction over four Immortal Cities.
Each Immortal City had three to four affiliated Immortal Pavilions.
And where He Song was at this moment was in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, which belonged to one of the four Immortal Cities – Green Wall Immortal City.
Inside the Immortal Pavilion, there were Foundation Establishment disciples of Thick Earth Sect in charge, ensuring safety.
Apart from that, there were four other Golden Core Sects distributed around the Thick Earth Sect.
These Four Great Sects were the Golden Sword Sect, Pure Yin Sect, Jade Flower Sect, and Seven Star Sect.
Golden Sword Sect, Pure Yin Sect, and Jade Flower Sect were located to the east, west, and south, all being righteous sects.
Seven Star Sect was located north of Thick Earth Sect and was a Demonic Sect.
