Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 7: Choose One

"The fetus is formed from the hidden breath, and the breath rests within the fetus..."

"The movement of the spirit is the movement of the breath, and the dwelling of the spirit is the dwelling of the breath. If one desires longevity, the spirit and breath must be harmonized..."

Lu Bei flipped through the [Embryonic Breath Supplementing Qi Technique] while nodding thoughtfully. He understood it, but didn't fully grasp its meaning or how to cultivate it.

In conclusion, it was indeed an extraordinary book.

After encountering a setback, Lu Bei decisively chose to lie down and give up on self-study and enlightenment. It was better to rely on the personal panel. Every time he opened it, he could see his "astonishing talent" and excellent aptitude.

[Do you want to spend 80 Skill Points to learn the [Embryonic Breath Supplementing Qi Technique]?]

[Do you want to spend 80 Skill Points to learn the [Demon-Slaying Sutra]?]

"Demon-Slaying Sutra?!" Lu Bei widened his eyes and picked up the book, flipping through it several times, scrutinizing every word. He couldn't find a single mention of demons.

Unbelievable!

"What Demon-Slaying Sutra? Did I open it incorrectly, or is it a bug?" Lu Bei tried again, even randomly tearing a few pages to make sure there were no hidden compartments.

"Could it be..."

Lu Bei took out a bottle of Spirit Opening Pill from his pocket and swallowed two pills, suddenly enlightened. Based on the plot of the martial arts dramas he had watched for many years, the Demon-Slaying Sutra must be hidden within the book. To make it appear, it either needed to be soaked in water or burned.

The scene shifted, and Lu Bei looked at the ashes of the book in the fire pit, bowing his head in silence.

He had underestimated the intensity of the fire.

"No problem. Looking at the bright side, my master told me before he passed away not to reveal anything about the [Embryonic Breath Supplementing Qi Technique] to others. Now that the book is gone, no one will ever know," Lu Bei sighed. In reality, it wasn't a big problem. The book was gone, but the information on his personal panel was still there. Now he had to consider which cultivation technique to learn.

The difficult problem of choosing between two options, [Embryonic Breath Supplementing Qi Technique] or [Demon-Slaying Sutra], was causing him anxiety.

From the literal meaning, both techniques were Dao Cultivator techniques, one focusing on defense and healing, and the other on offense. Considering that he lacked everything, Lu Bei decided to rely on luck.

He had managed to stand out among his colleagues, earning the appreciation of his superiors and the opportunity for a raise and double year-end bonus, all thanks to his good luck.

"Choosing randomly, which one should I learn... which... one."

When he clicked on [Embryonic Breath Supplementing Qi Technique], Lu Bei immediately stopped hesitating and spent 80 Skill Points from his personal panel to learn the [Demon-Slaying Sutra].

It wasn't that the [Embryonic Breath Supplementing Qi Technique] was bad, or that he denied his luck. It was just too mediocre compared to the slightly more impressive-sounding [Demon-Slaying Sutra].

As expected, with his astonishing aptitude recorded on his personal panel, Lu Bei quickly mastered the [Demon-Slaying Sutra]. The cultivation technique interface refreshed, displaying a line of information.

Cultivation Technique: Demon-Slaying Sutra Lv1 (0/5000)

"Only at level 1 and already has 5000 experience points. Truly an extraordinary book from the far west," Lu Bei nodded in approval. Out of respect for cultivation, he decided to meditate for five minutes.

If he remembered correctly, Mo Buxio had said before leaving that the [Embryonic Breath Supplementing Qi Technique] was an extraordinary book he obtained in the far west of Kunlun. The [Demon-Slaying Sutra] was hidden within it, also originating from the far west.

Speaking of the far west, one couldn't ignore the Four Extreme Regions of the Nine States World. When Lu Bei first started playing the game, he had supplemented his geographical knowledge from the official website.

The Nine States had three veins, and the heavens and earth had Four Extremities.

The three veins of the Nine States were Bu Zhou, Kunlun, and Mang Yin. They horizontally divided the continent. North of the Bu Zhou Mountain Range was the Great Wilderness, rumored to be the birthplace of the Monster Race. Further north was the extreme northern land of permafrost, where bone-chilling winds blew. Even the physically strong Monster Cultivators dared not venture deep into it.

South of the Mang Yin Mountain Range was the Dead Sea, a place devoid of spiritual energy and filled with heavy Yin energy. It was said that after death, beings would enter the extreme southern land, which was another world.

The Kunlun Mountain Range was located between the two major mountain ranges. It lacked the dangers of the Bu Zhou Mountain Range and the coldness of the Mang Yin Mountain Range. It was known as the birthplace of the Immortal Gate in the world of cultivation.

To the east of the Kunlun Mountain Range, there was a hidden fairy island in the vast ocean, which would be accessible in version 3.0. To the west was the far west, where Demon Cultivators gathered. It was widely recognized as the birthplace of Demon Cultivation. Describing the local customs and public order as chaotic was actually a compliment.

The [Demon-Slaying Sutra] from the birthplace of Demon Cultivation sounded quite intriguing.

Here, it should be mentioned that Wu Zhou, where Tranquil State was located, was slightly closer to the Bu Zhou Mountain Range. Therefore, there were slightly more monsters, and the lives and properties of the residents were protected by the government. Those with household registration could not only join the sect for cultivation but also become officials in the court.

Wu Zhou's "Zhou" also benefited from the luck of the Bu Zhou Mountain Range, aspiring to be as everlasting as the country and the Bu Zhou Mountain Range.

As for Nine Bamboo Mountain, it is not an extension of the Bu Zhou Mountain Range. At most, it can be considered as a tremor in the Bu Zhou Mountain, causing a fold on a piece of land thousands of miles away.

This relative cannot climb Nine Bamboo Mountain.

Not worthy!

Five minutes later.

Cultivation Technique: Demon-Slaying Sutra Lv1 (1/5000).

"Too slow. At this rate, it will take at least half a month without eating or sleeping to upgrade the Demon-Slaying Sutra to the second level." Lu Bei frowned and fell into silence. He had a few questions when he discovered that he had an NPC panel.

Can he do quests and gain experience?

If not, when other players enter the game and surpass his level, what would he be? A player with an NPC panel?

Lastly, will he resurrect if he dies?

This is really important.

"Or, should I give it a try?"

To try means to die. Lu Bei decisively gave up the idea of being reckless, stood up, patted his butt, and walked towards the backyard.

In the forest, a red shadow flashed by. Lu Bei stopped and knew it was a little fox spirit attracted by the Spirit Opening Pill. He shouted in the direction where it hid, "The mountain gate is under renovation. It will take about two to three months. During this time, don't come here. They are all bad men with strong energy. If you are caught by them, you will definitely suffer."

"..."

There was no movement in the grass. It seemed that the little fox spirit had run far away.

"Remember!"

Lu Bei spoke again, "If you still have the Spirit Opening Pill in mind, come find me when the mountain gate is finished. I'll leave a back door for you. Don't worry, I'm different from those bad men."

Different in a bad way!

...

"What? You said you have a cultivation technique!"

That night, Bai Jin, who had returned from Great Victory Pass, found Lu Bei and learned that the latter had officially embarked on the path of cultivation. His face turned cold with anger.

"Is it Ding Lei? Did he sell you the cultivation technique?"

Bai Jin's eyes glowed with a cold light, a murderous intent in them.

Cultivation techniques in the world of cultivation are not irreplaceable. After all, there are differences in the quality and level of cultivation techniques. It is not surprising to switch to a better one while cultivating.

It's quite fascinating and interesting in a way, but that's how cultivation works.

All cultivation techniques in the world were created by the pioneers. Each step forward requires exploration. When these geniuses die prematurely, the cultivation techniques they left behind either need to be supplemented or replaced.

The reason Bai Jin was angry was that Lu Bei had just started on the path of cultivation and needed a good cultivation technique as a foundation, which directly affected the heights he would reach in the future.

Would he continue to shine as a genius or fall into obscurity like everyone else?

The cultivation technique Ding Lei brought out...

It's not that Bai Jin looked down on Ding Lei, but he didn't even consider Ding Lei. The entire Lofty Brow Faction, with around a hundred people, didn't have a single person who could fight. Lu Bei practicing the cultivation technique Ding Lei provided would have at least ruined half of his talent.

He was angry and wanted to teach Ding Lei a lesson...

No, killing someone would attract the attention of the Extreme Monarch Sect.

Still, he was angry and wanted to vent his anger by disabling Ding Lei.

"Sister, calm down. It has nothing to do with Master Ding."

Lu Bei hurriedly spoke up and saved Ding Lei's concubines in a critical moment. He said to Bai Jin, "After you left, I pondered over the Twelve Daoist Scriptures again and organized them in my mind. I suddenly realized that the profoundness of the scriptures was unfathomable, and then I had an epiphany."

"What did you realize?" Bai Jin swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"I realized several cultivation techniques that are most suitable for me."

Lu Bei scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, but he had no choice. It was all because of his talent.
