t this period of time, those people couldn't wait."He glared at Pang Zhen, endless rage burning in his eyes: "I want to know who all reached out their claws!"PANG Zhen, understanding the unspoken mess..."What about the Golden Cicada Escaping Scripture" Old Tang broke the silence.

Lü Ye hurriedly took out the Golden Cicada Escaping Technique from his storage pouch and handed it to Old Tang.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Tang Lao took it, flipped through it once, and nodded slightly: "A very common yellow-level exercise method. When cultivated to perfection, it can open twenty-seven acupoints."

>>> Tang Lao's statement about the twenty-seven acupoints and eight leaves in "Golden Cicada Escapism" made sense to him. When he studied this technique before, he realized this point. If this method is cultivated to completion, it can open a total of twenty-seven acupoints.

It's a good thing he didn't treat this as a precious treasure, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Different ranks of cultivation techniques not only determine the number of spiritual apertures that practitioners can ultimately open, but also create significant differences in strength among cultivators at the same realm. Furthermore, the future prospects of cultivators are also vastly different.

"The higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the stronger their strength, and the wider their future prospects" Lu Ye asked.

"That's exactly the reason," Tang Lao nodded, "Do you know why"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Master, please enlighten me." Lu Ye humbly asked for guidance.

Tang Lao took a moment to organize his thoughts, as if considering how to explain things to Lu Ye more clearly. He hadn't spoken about these matters with anyone in many years. After a while, he asked, "Do you know the divisions of cultivation realms"

"Lingxi, Yunhe, Zhenhu, and Shenhai, the Four Realms." Lu Ye replied. This was still what Yu Xiadie had told him.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Then what is Lingxi

Lu Ye recalled what Yu Xiaodie had told him before, and replied: "Open enough spiritual apertures, allowing your own spiritual power to flow through these apertures, forming a circulation of heaven and earth, flowing like streams, then it becomes the Lingxi Realm."

"Well then, how many spiritual apertures would be considered enough" Old Tang stroked his beard.

"...This..." Lu Ye was a little speechless.

Tang Lao smiled faintly and tapped the Jin Chan Xiao Yao Jue in his hand: "If you practice this method, you can become a Lingxi First Layer cultivator after opening nine orifices, an eighteen-orifice cultivation for the Second Layer, and twenty-seven orifices for the Third Layer."

Lu Ye immediately sensed something was wrong: "Ling Xi isn't at the Ninth Layer"

The Huangjie martial art can only be cultivated to the Lingxi three-layer realm, so its rank is the lowest. If one cultivates the Xuanjie martial art, they can reach the Lingxi six-layer realm. As for the Di jie martial art, it can reach the Lingxi nine-layer realm. If one cultivates the Tianjie martial art...

"Twelve layers" Lu Ye's face was full of surprise. He had never heard of a Spirit Stream twelfth layer realm.

"Still nine layers," Tang Lao chuckled and shook his head.

"Why is this" Lu Ye Fei asked, puzzled.

"Because different cultivation techniques lead to different amounts of acupoints corresponding to the same realm, this Jin Chan Xiao Yao Jue only requires opening nine acupoints to achieve the Ling Xi first level. However, if one cultivates a Heavenly Rank technique, then eighteen acupoints need to be opened to reach this realm. A cultivator who practices Earth Rank techniques opens 180 acupoints to achieve the Ling Xi ninth level, but for a cultivator who practices Heavenly Rank techniques, opening 180 acupoints is only equivalent to the Ling Xi sixth level."

Lu Ye vaguely understood: "Old Tang means that the higher the level of cultivation technique, the more spiritual apertures need to be opened to achieve the same realm"

"Not bad."

In that case, can the cultivation level of cultivators not be used as a measure of their strength

>

Lu Ye immediately understood what Old Tang meant before. If that were the case, then the level of cultivation techniques would be different, and at the same realm, strength often had a big gap, even influencing one's future.

"Master, since the Heavenly Staircase Technique is so good, why isn't it practiced by everyone What is the point of the Earth, Xuan, and Huang ranks if this technique exists Is it hard to obtain the Heavenly Staircase Technique"

Tang Lao smiled and said: “Although the Tianjie cultivation method is not easy to obtain, as long as there is enough perseverance, even casual cultivators have a chance to get it. The reason why no one practices the Tianjie cultivation method is because every cultivator has its own limits, the limit of opening spiritual apertures!”

At the beginning of cultivation, opening up one's acupoints is extremely difficult. However, as one's spiritual acupoint count increases and their cultivation level rises, opening up more acupoints becomes relatively easier. Eventually, a limit is reached. Once this limit is passed, it becomes incredibly difficult for cultivators to open any more acupoints, no matter how excellent the cultivation techniques they have access to. For example, a cultivator whose natural limit is 180 acupoints would find practicing heavenly-ranked cultivation techniques pointless. Therefore, one should cultivate according to their own capabilities.

"I see." Lu Ye nodded.

"Furthermore, at the beginning of cultivation, practicing the Huangjie method is actually better."

"Because it's simple"

"That's right, the Yellow Rank cultivation method can achieve the Lingxi Realm by opening nine acupoints. However, if one practices the Heavenly Rank cultivation method, they need to open eighteen acupoints. It is crucial to allow spiritual power to flow through the acupoints and achieve the Lingxi Realm as soon as possible to enhance the efficiency of cultivation. Therefore, in the cultivation world, regardless of whether it's independent cultivators or disciples from prestigious sects, they primarily start their cultivation journey with the Yellow Rank method. Once the Yellow Rank method is fully cultivated, they can then switch to other methods."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Actually, Tang Lao didn't say everything about revising martial arts techniques.

Only those cultivators who lack a strong foundation or disciples of minor, insignificant families would begin their cultivation journey with yellow-ranked techniques.

The modified cultivation method, while not posing too much of a risk, is still somewhat troublesome. Those with some background generally choose Xuan-rank or Earth-rank methods because the requirements for the first level of Lingxi are to open nine apertures, regardless of whether it's Huang-rank, Xuan-rank, or Earth-rank.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

He considered that Lu Ye only had the talent of a single leaf and probably wouldn't be able to open many spiritual acupoints in his lifetime. A yellow-tier cultivation technique would be enough for him.

Of course, Tang Lao didn't say anything about this, nor did he look down on Lu Ye because of it. As the headmaster of a sect, he diligently taught Lu Ye, his registered disciple, without any impatience.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“As for your previous concern that this technique is demonic…” Lao Tang raised an eyebrow and looked solemnly at Lu Ye, “Remember, there is no such thing as righteous or evil magic. Any technique is merely a tool for cultivation. What truly determines good and evil is one's character. The Haoxian League is not without those with wicked hearts, and the Wanmo Ridge also has many virtuous individuals.”
