30: The basic breathing method top

Cheng Yang first took a shower and changed his dirty clothes.

Then, he quickly ate something to fill his stomach and sat cross-legged on the bed.

He held the Summoner in front of him and opened the shop page.

As expected, several previously unseen items appeared.

[Mian Yu Technique E] 70 Light Energy points, a cultivation method for self-cultivation and enhancing vitality. The technique is divided into four layers: Layer 1 Constitution +1, Layer 2 Constitution +2, Layer 3 Constitution +3, Layer 4 Constitution +5. Grants the skill [Mian Yu Qi E].

[Rain Realm E · card] 50 Light Energy points, insert the card into the Summoner to enter a special space, Rain Realm. Fight and train against monsters in the Rain Realm. Defeating monsters has a chance to yield monster crystals, cultivation methods, and cards.

[Mian Yu Qi E] 70 Light Energy points, a skill obtained by cultivating Mian Yu Technique to the highest level. It allows for the formation of Mian Yu Qi within the body. The circulation of Mian Yu Qi can significantly boost stamina and the body's self-healing ability. Breathing cultivation can accelerate wound recovery and stabilize injuries.

[Basic Axe Technique F], [Basic Finger Technique F], [Basic Sound Technique F]…

Indeed, this time there were so many more items.

Cheng Yang looked at the new items in the shop, and having already prepared himself mentally, he wasn't surprised.

Lin Ti had been researching ever since the battle ended.

[Mian Yu Technique] and [Rain Realm] were both his research achievements.

[Mian Yu Technique] is an E-rank cultivation method he created using the [Torrential Rain E card] and knowledge from the [database] as a foundation.

As for [Rain Realm], Lin Ti opened up a stable spatial rift with that core as the source and the [Torrential Rain E card] as the foundation.

He named the spatial rift Rain Realm, considering it his experimental ground for researching monsters.

All the monsters inside were created by him using that enormous monster crystal.

Summoners can hone their combat skills within it.

The dropping of Light Energy points, cultivation methods, and skill cards upon defeating monsters was also something he deliberately designed to motivate Summoners.

Such a responsible Summoner like him is truly rare.

Cheng Yang didn't know that the Summoner was secretly praising his own efforts; he was just excitedly looking at the newly stocked items in the shop.

He wanted every single one of them.

Moreover, his more than one hundred Light Energy points didn't seem like much.

“Mian Yu Technique, is this a new cultivation method? It seems to be a bit more advanced than Basic Breathing Technique.”

Basic Breathing Technique had no attributes and he was already close to cultivating it to the highest level.

Its characteristic was being relatively balanced and peaceful.

And this Mian Yu Technique seemed even more peaceful and focused on self-cultivation.

Each layer increased Constitution points, and the more layers cultivated, the more Constitution points were gained.

The Mian Yu Qi, when cultivated to the max level, also seemed more supportive than combat-oriented.

It's just…

“I've already practiced Basic Breathing Technique. If I continue to practice this Mian Yu Technique, will it conflict with Basic Breathing Technique?”

Although Basic Breathing Technique seemed a bit lower in grade than this cultivation method, it allowed him to enter the Shining Form of his armor.

If this cultivation method conflicted with Basic Breathing Technique, leading to Basic Breathing Technique becoming unusable, it would have quite a significant impact on him.

“I'll try it first. If it affects Basic Breathing Technique, then I'll stop cultivating it.”

“70 Light Energy points…”

Cheng Yang currently had 106 Light Energy points accumulated. If he bought the Mian Yu Technique, he wouldn't be able to buy another card, Rain Realm E.

The effect of Rain Realm E also greatly tempted Cheng Yang.

Such a monster training ground, fighting inside it, would definitely hone his combat awareness.

After considering for a while, Cheng Yang finally chose [Rain Realm E].

In [Rain Realm E], he could stably obtain Light Energy points by defeating monsters, and then come back later to purchase [Mian Yu Technique E].

After all, he didn't know when monsters would appear, so buying Mian Yu Technique now wasn't very cost-effective.

After making his decision, Cheng Yang spent 50 Light Energy points to purchase [Rain Realm E].

As Light Energy points were consumed, a white-backed card condensed in front of him, which Cheng Yang reached out and held between his fingertips.

On the front of the card, a blue water vortex was depicted.

It looked somewhat similar to [Torrential Rain E].

After all, it was a spatial rift opened by Lin Ti based on [Torrential Rain E] and the power of the core, so it was not surprising that the card's appearance was similar to [Torrential Rain E].

However, the monsters inside were not all water-attributed.

But water-attributed ones accounted for the majority.

After putting away [Rain Realm E], Cheng Yang put down the Summoner and calmed his mind.

His current body naturally couldn't enter the Rain Realm to fight.

The top priority was to raise Basic Breathing Technique to the third layer and recover from his injuries.

He sat cross-legged and composed himself.

He adjusted his breathing.

A current of Qi filled his lungs with each breath, then circulated through his breathing technique.

Basic Breathing Technique was inherently peaceful, and practicing it now would not worsen his lung injury.

Instead, as he breathed, his whole body felt comfortable, as if a warm current swept through him, soothing the injuries in his lungs and body.

As he focused on his breathing, time outside passed quickly.

The pain in his body also subsided with his breathing.

It felt as if after one circulation, the pain and injuries in his body were expelled with the turbid Qi.

The purple skin from accumulated bruises also faded with each breath.

When Cheng Yang opened his eyes, the sky outside had already turned dim.

Cheng Yang swayed as he stood up, a pain in his lungs made him cough out a mouthful of clotted blood and root-like blood clots.

After expelling the blood clots, his lungs ached slightly.

However, his breathing became smoother.

Enduring the pain in his body, he prepared a decent dinner for himself. Cheng Yang turned on the TV and browsed the news while eating.

In the silent room, only the sounds of Cheng Yang eating and the news on TV could be heard.

It added a little bit of life to the room.

After finishing his meal, Cheng Yang took out his Summoner, inserted the [Potion F] card, and injected himself with a recovery potion.

As the potion was injected, the purple on his skin turned red.

His injuries also recovered a lot.

It seemed that his body would fully recover in no time.

[Basic Stance] obviously couldn't be continued, so Cheng Yang returned to the bed, sat cross-legged, and continued to practice his breathing technique.

The monotonous breathing didn't bore Cheng Yang; instead, he enjoyed the silence, calming his mind with quiet breaths and feeling his body improve.

This continued until the next day.

With the completion of the final breathing cycle, proficiency +1.

[Basic Breathing Technique (Third Layer) (Mastery)]

[Spirit +1]

[Acquired Skill, Minds Eye]

[Minds Eye F (Beginner)] Proficiency: 0/10

He opened his eyes, and a light seemed to flash in his clear, bright pupils.

Everything around him became incredibly clear.

With each breath, his body felt as light as a feather in the air.

“Is this the highest level of Basic Breathing Technique?”

Cheng Yang looked at his outstretched hand, then closed his eyes, sensing the skill Minds Eye brought by the highest level of the breathing technique.

Within Minds Eye, in the dark world, everything around him became incredibly clear.

Within a two-meter radius, solid objects seemed to transform into transparent, abstract lines.

Even dust in the air, in the world of Minds Eye, became incredibly clear, slowly drifting down.

“I feel like I could take on ten people.”
