Mystery: The Ultimate Tarot

Chapter 26 Wolf Fang Technique

The three dynasties known in Chen Qingzhi's generation are the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and the Celestial Dynasty. Raphael wondered if this was a coincidence. So he asked why the era more than two thousand years ago was called the "Spring and Autumn Period".

Chen Qingzhi replied: "There are two explanations for this. The first is that the climate at that time was very different from that now. There were only spring and autumn, and no summer and winter."

"Another one is that three of the eight major powers will establish their sects in the spring and five in the autumn, and they will all hold large-scale sacrificial ceremonies and celebrations at that time."

"Therefore, spring and autumn are generally the times when major powers rest and recuperate, and wars only occur in summer and winter. After entering the Warring States period, wars took place in all four seasons. People missed the beauty of spring and autumn before, so they named that era 'Spring and Autumn'."

"There is no definitive conclusion yet on which statement is accurate."

Raphael nodded and did not ask the question further.

Chen Qingzhi then said very respectfully, "I have already explained the power and history of this realm in detail. May I ask you about the Demon Lord?"

"Ask away," Raphael said, "but I'll ask again after you ask."

He estimated that Chen Qingzhi was still interested in the "role-playing method" and should be able to answer the other party's questions.

Chen Qingzhi replied, "Yes."

He then asked, "May I ask, Demon Lord, is there anything wrong with the cultivation methods of the 'Blood Sect' in this realm? Are there better cultivation methods?"

"There is something wrong with that," Raphael said in a mature tone. "There are indeed better ways to cultivate."

He smiled and said, "It's my turn to ask."

Chen Qingzhi was taken aback before asking, "Demon Lord, what are the specific cultivation methods?"

Raphael sneered, "The specific cultivation methods are also a secret in my realm, and the question I want to ask can be answered by an ordinary cultivator in your realm."

"It's not that I'm unable to descend to your realm due to my supernatural powers, but rather that I'm unable to descend due to my intellect."

Chen Qingzhi gave an awkward smile, then asked, "May I ask, Demon Lord, how can I find out a safe and reliable method of cultivation?"

Raphael said, "Answer my question carefully, and I will certainly not treat you unfairly."

"Well, since you're asking about reliable cultivation methods, then please explain in detail the different cultivation methods of the 'Qi Sect' and the 'Blood Sect,' so that my cultivation method may not be applicable to your realm."

"Yes." Chen Qingzhi had no doubts and carefully explained the two different cultivation methods. Whether they were disciples of the "Qi Sect" or the "Blood Sect", they all started by cultivating the basic techniques of this realm.

In Chen Qingzhi's words, most mortals have practiced these basic techniques, which are mainly about breathing in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After practicing these techniques, even if one has no chance to become a cultivator, one can still strengthen their body and prolong their life.

This kind of basic exercise is taught in ordinary schools and academies, much like radio calisthenics in Raphael's concept.

Once you've mastered these techniques, you can try to seek opportunities in various sects after completing your general education.

The so-called opportunity depends on whether one can gain the approval of the "True Lord's Jade Body".

This process is completely unpredictable and depends entirely on individual fortune. Once you receive the magical power of the "True Lord's Jade Body," you will be accepted as a disciple by the sect's "Qi Sect," and then the techniques will be uniformly taught to you in various branches.

Once someone gains the approval of the "True Lord's Jade Body," their fate undergoes a tremendous change.

Even if one only remains in the "mortal realm," which is the level from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7, one will be given the title of immortal and will generally be respected by people.

Every major sect has a basic cultivation technique. The technique of "Dark Lodge" is "True Scripture of Demonic Origin", which is divided into nine levels. As long as a disciple is recognized by "True Lord's Jade Body", infused with magic power, and has his body reshaped, he can start cultivating the first level.

The primary purpose of this technique is to familiarize the practitioner with their reconstructed body, preparing them for cultivating supernatural powers.

Secondly, it cultivates the mind and spirit, allowing practitioners to experience the true meaning of "Dark Abode".

Only after mastering one level of cultivation can one continue to receive the infusion of magical power from the "True Lord's Jade Body" and then cultivate the next level.

Generally, once you reach the later stage of the "Mortal Realm," which is Sequence 7, you can cultivate some low-level supernatural abilities.

The seventh-ranked disciple of "Dark Lodge" can cultivate "Wolf Fang Technique" and "Chaos Technique".

After a cultivator who practices the "Wolf Fang Technique" activates the technique, only four wolf fangs will grow and the nails will become longer. Nothing else will change. At the same time, due to the effect of the "Demon Source True Scripture", the cultivator's state of mind is exceptionally firm. Even if the "Wolf Fang Technique" is activated, there will be no loss of reason.

Moreover, in addition to the transformation technique, the "Wolf Fang Technique" also has two supernatural abilities: "Nine Steps of Wolf Shadow" and "Wolf Fang Claw".

The former is a movement technique, which is divided into three levels. In the later stages of the "Mortal Realm", one can only practice the first level. In the early and late stages of the "Divine Transformation Realm", that is, the Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 levels, one can practice the second and third levels respectively.

The latter is described as a supernatural power, but it is actually a martial art specifically designed for the "Wolf Fang Technique".

Although Chen Qingzhi only gave a brief explanation, Raphael couldn't help but admire the extraordinary individuals of this world who had taken the "werewolf" ability to such an ingenious way.

He had just finished a real battle, and when he fought the "zombies," it was like two wild beasts fighting, with only basic combat skills to speak of.

However, these two supernatural abilities brought the werewolf's agility and claws to their fullest potential, and formed a technique that could be taught to future generations.

Upon reaching the "Transformation Realm," which is the stage from Sequence 6 to Sequence 4, in addition to cultivating a new level of the "True Scripture of the Demonic Source," one can also practice other supernatural abilities, such as the "Three Techniques of Corpse Refining" and the "Phantom Divine Skill," etc.

The cultivation method of the "Blood Sect" is different. It doesn't matter if you don't get the "True Lord's Jade Body"'s approval after the general education. If you want, you can take the "Blood Sect" test again.

The criteria for assessment are generally strong spirit and firm will.

If you pass the assessment, there is still a possibility of becoming a "Celestial Master".

However, most people would not choose this path, because once they consume the "inner elixir," their temperament will change drastically, and even if they cultivate a technique like the "Demon Source Scripture" that can temper their mind, the effect is not very good.

Generally speaking, in the early and middle stages of the "Mortal Realm," which are Sequence 9 and Sequence 8, it is highly likely that the behavior will become eccentric and the body will undergo some mutations.

However, when consuming the "Inner Core" in the later stages of the "Mortal Realm," there is a considerable probability that one will directly collapse into a monster.

Therefore, Chen Qingzhi desperately needed the "safe cultivation method" mentioned by the "Otherworldly Demon Lord," so after explaining the two cultivation methods in this world, he asked again.

Raphael also wanted the cultivation techniques of this world and was willing to trade them for potion recipes, but he immediately thought of a problem: what auxiliary materials were available in this world?
