I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 32 - 31: Spiritual Control Technique Initiation, Breaking Through High Level Martial Artist!

Chapter 32: Chapter 31: Spiritual Control Technique Initiation, Breaking Through High Level Martial Artist!

This person stared at Lin Chen’s face, suspecting that Lin Chen was deliberately provoking him.

Since the day Lin Chen took the spot of being the first to enter the Qi Refining Stage, Lin Chen had practically become his heart demon, regarded as his number one imaginary enemy!

However, after a careful observation, seeing Lin Chen’s expression seemed genuine, his face looked even more ashen, angrily saying:

"I am Li Zhenqian! A disciple of the Array Peak Master, and the only True Spirit Root disciple of this batch!"

"Lin Chen! Although you entered the Qi Refining Stage before me, that was because I underestimated you... From now on, I will train even harder!"

"In half a month, I will enter the Second Layer of Qi Refining! In the sect competition in a year, I will definitely defeat you and seize the spot of chief disciple!"

A raging fire seemed to burn in Li Zhenqian’s eyes as he issued a challenge to Lin Chen, his formidable opponent.

He hoped to gain Lin Chen’s attention!

However...

Lin Chen responded calmly:

"Alright, Taoist Friend Li, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way..."

After saying that, Lin Chen didn’t linger any longer and turned to leave the second floor of the Cultivation Technique Pavilion.

Behind him, Li Zhenqian stood dumbfounded, trembling all over, almost falling to the ground.

At that moment, his face flushed red with disbelief:

"No... Impossible!"

"That Lin Chen is so nonchalant! Damn it!"

"Does he think... I’m not worthy to be his opponent at all?"

The more Li Zhenqian thought about it, the angrier he got. The angrier he got, the more anxious he became, and while going downstairs, he missed a step and tumbled down the stairs.

Lin Chen, who was registering to borrow cultivation techniques, slightly smiled upon hearing the noise behind him.

"Haha... Just a kid after all, can’t keep his temper!"

Of course, Lin Chen recognized Li Zhenqian.

He merely pretended not to know him, just to tease Li Zhenqian a bit.

After all, he was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenager, in the phase of being ruled by his emotions.

Unexpectedly, with just one vexation from Lin Chen, he ended up making such a big fool of himself.

As Lin Chen left the Cultivation Technique Pavilion, he looked back at the awkwardly climbing Li Zhenqian and laughed to himself:

"With this Taoist Friend Li around, life in the Changchun Sect won’t be boring..."

...

When Lin Chen returned to Pill Peak, it was already approaching evening.

Tonight, his master had prepared a special meal, including a leg of Spirit Chicken in the spiritual food.

After eating the chicken leg, Lin Chen practiced the Breathing Technique for two more hours, bringing his Qi and Blood Value to 27 points.

"The standard for a Basic Level Warrior is a Qi and Blood Value of 45 points. At this rate, it won’t take more than a month to reach it!"

Lin Chen was confident in this regard. With a sufficient supply of spiritual food, he wasn’t worried about his progress in the Martial Arts Realm.

Currently, the focus still needed to be on enhancing Qi Refining Cultivation and delving into techniques.

"Let’s start with the Spiritual Defense Technique..."

With a thought, the ancient cultivation manual appeared in Lin Chen’s hands.

The Spiritual Defense Technique was not particularly difficult, the entire book was less than a thousand characters.

It mainly comprised the Qi Gathering, Qi Control, and Artifact Control Chapters.

The Qi Gathering Chapter involves refining the True Essence Magical Power within, gathering True Essence together to control heavier objects.

Qi Control is about managing the usage of True Essence, to conserve its consumption.

The final Chapter, Artifact Control, is about thoroughly controlling tools, manipulating them as extensions of oneself. By mastering it, one could even fly using artifacts!

After committing the Spiritual Defense Technique thoroughly to memory, Lin Chen’s face showed a slight interest.

"According to the author of this technique, once perfected, the Spiritual Defense Technique is said to share a striking resemblance to the legendary Sword Control Technique?"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen didn’t hesitate and began his practice.

He first studied the Qi Gathering Chapter.

Qi Refining Stage cultivators have spiritual energy that is scattered and mixed, requiring the free-floating True Essence to be gathered in one place to be effective.

The process wasn’t particularly difficult, just needing frequent practice.

The only challenge was that constantly gathering Qi takes a toll on the True Essence Magical Power.

Lin Chen’s comprehension was quite good, and he managed to grasp the Qi-Gathering Technique within an hour.

The key was he was willing to use Spirit Stones to compensate for the consumed True Essence!

By using Spirit Stones to replenish True Essence Magical Power, he could continuously attempt the Qi-Gathering Technique.

By midnight, after several hours of practice and two whole Spirit Stones, he finally had a rough mastery of the Qi-Gathering Technique.

"Phew... the Qi Gathering Chapter is basically mastered!"

With a thought, Lin Chen extended True Essence a meter away, gently wrapping it around the wooden table.

Weighing dozens of pounds, the solid wood table easily rose into the air, a meter off the ground.

"Not bad, mastering the Qi-Gathering Skill has at least two to threefold increased the weight of objects I can control!"

Lin Chen was slightly pleased. After carefully sensing the True Essence within, he remarked in surprise:

"Huh, this Qi-Gathering Skill... seems to further refine the True Essence within?"

"But the refining speed is very slow, if I hadn’t been gathering Qi for several hours consecutively, I might not have sensed it at all..."

This unexpected surprise was quite beneficial for him.

The more refined a cultivator’s True Essence Magical Power is, the more powerful their techniques typically become!

Upon mastering the Qi-Gathering Skill, it was already late at night.

Feeling quite tired, Lin Chen chose not to continue practicing and instead closed his eyes to cultivate.

Nothing occurred that night.

Early the next morning, Lin Chen finished cultivating, slightly frowning at the pile of Spirit Stone dust beneath the bed.

"As expected, the cultivation for the Second Layer of Qi Refining consumes more!"

"A single night’s cultivation cost me one and a half Spirit Stones... At this rate of Spirit Stone consumption, it seems I’m nearing the level of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!"

Lin Chen’s expression was a bit unpleasant. Although his cultivation was progressing quickly, the resource expenditure seemed a bit excessive.

At this consumption rate, the remaining seventy to eighty Spirit Stones might not last him a month. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"I’ll study techniques for two days first, and once the Spiritual Defense Technique and Wood Concealment Technique are initiated, I’ll consider exploring Artifact Refining Dao!"

With time being of the essence, and Lin Chen being a diligent person, he felt the True Essence within him fully restored and resumed cultivating the Qi Control and Artifact Control Chapters.

...

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

That evening, Lin Chen practiced the Spiritual Defense Technique inside his house.

The Second Tier Exotic Treasure, a long blade, floated in the air under the wrap of True Essence, gyrating in the air.

Its speed varied from extremely fast to a slow glide.

After attempting this for a while, Lin Chen finally nodded in satisfaction:

"The Spiritual Control Technique is preliminarily initiated!"

"To achieve entry within two and a half days isn’t considered slow; I just need to practice diligently from now on..."

Noting his progress, Lin Chen was pleased. Currently, he could control the long blade up to three zhang away.

This distance, combined with the explosive power of True Essence, means even a Warrior could suffer heavily from an unexpected attack!

"Compared to the Martial Path, the techniques of a cultivator are indeed more mystical..." Lin Chen contemplated internally.

"Judging by the time, it’s been over a week since I last took the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, it’s about time to take another!"

With a shift in thought, the smooth Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill was swallowed into his stomach, transforming into a warm current.

He began rhythmically practicing the Breathing Technique.

Two hours passed as Lin Chen continued, feeling the Qi and Blood within him stronger than ever.

A bottleneck locking his strength was subtly broken through.

Looking down at the wristwatch indicating a Qi and Blood Value of 30 points!

Seeing this, Lin Chen couldn’t help but smile lightly.

"Barring unexpected events, smoothly breaking through to become a High-Level Warrior..."
