"If most techniques are for people who use internal energy, how does that help find one that's suitable?" Chu Liuxiang asked.
"If you're looking for a suitable technique, then you should pick a technique that complints the attribute of your Spiritual Veins." Feng Yuxiang said.
"Spiritual Veins? What is that, and how do I find my attribute?"
"Spiritual Veins are organs that cultivators produce alongside their Dantian when they first beco cultivators, and they are actually what absorbs the spiritual energy in the air. The higher the quality of one's Spiritual Veins, the easier and faster their cultivation will be." Feng Yuxiang explained.
And she continued, "For example, if two cultivators start cultivating from the sa starting point, the one with ordinary Spiritual Veins might reach Spirit Warrior in four years, but the one with better quality Spiritual Veins will be able to reach that sa level within half the ti."
"Spiritual Veins can also possess certain attributes, making the cultivation of certain techniques easier and faster. If soone has fire attribute Spiritual Veins, they would be able to learn fire techniques twice as fast if not even faster than soone that does not have fire attribute Spiritual Veins. Of course, not all Spiritual Veins possess an attribute."
"As for how one can tell if their Spiritual Veins possess an attribute, there are treasures out there that do the job. Do you want to see if your Spiritual Veins possess an elent?" Feng Yuxiang asked Chu Liuxiang afterward.
"Yes, I would like to know my elent— if I have one." Chu Liuxiang nodded.
"Okay, but since I don't have such treasures right now, we will have to do this another way. I will require a drop of your blood." Feng Yuxiang said.
"My blood?"
"Yes, I can identify if your Spiritual Veins possess an elent through your blood by tasting it."
"You're going to drink my blood…?" Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows, feeling a little uneasy about letting soone drink her blood.
Feng Yuxiang smiled and said, "In case you forgot, I am not human. I am a Divine Beast."
"You're a what?!" Min Li exclaid in a shocked voice after hearing Feng Yuxiang's words, as she wasn't aware of such facts until now.
"Indeed, I am not human. I am actually a Vermillion Phoenix," she confird.
"A real phoenix…?" Min Li felt her strength being sucked out of her body after learning that she had been traveling with a Divine Beast this entire ti— a Phoenix, at that.
"If you don't want to do it now, we can do it later when we have the treasure." Feng Yuxiang said a mont later.
"It's fine, we can do it now. It's just a drop of blood, right?" Chu Liuxiang said.
"Yes."
Chu Liuxiang poked a small hole on her finger before letting Feng Yuxiang lick the blood being squeezed out.
"Hmm…" Feng Yuxiang closed her eyes and focused on appraising her elent.
"Congratulations, you possess a rare attribute for your Spiritual Veins, and that elent is ice."
"Is that any good? I can't tell." Chu Liuxiang asked.
"Of course. Any rare attribute is good. Your ice elent is basically a superior version of the water elent. They say only one in one million cultivators have a rare attribute."
"That's great to hear. Congratulations, Lulu." Yuan said to her.
And he continued, "Feng Feng, can you also see if my Spiritual Veins possess any elent?"
Feng Yuxiang smiled and said, "Young Master, I have already tried looking at your Spiritual Veins many tis, but I couldn't taste anything."
"Eh? Does that an I don't possess elental Spiritual Veins?" Yuan felt a little disappointed by the results.
However, Feng Yuxiang quickly said, "That's not entirely correct, Young Master. I should've worded it better. It's more like I couldn't tell. In other words, I don't know if you have an attribute or not."
"How is that any better?" Yuan asked.
"Because that ans you might possess elental Spiritual Veins, but they are too high quality for to tell."
"If you really want to learn about your attribute, we will need the proper treasure."
"I understand…" Yuan nodded.
"Then we'll start looking for techniques with Water and Ice elents."
After looking through the jade slip for a few monts, Yuan began walking around the fourth floor, picking out all of the techniques that complinted Chu Liuxiang's Spiritual Veins.
"That's a lot of techniques…" Chu Liuxiang mumbled in a dazed voice before the mountain of scrolls before her.
"There's around 60 techniques for you to choose from." Yuan said with a smile.
"This is going to take a while…"
"Take your ti. I'm also going to look around."
After helping Chu Liuxiang carry the techniques to a nearby table, Yuan left to look for his own technique.
Feng Yuxiang and Min Li stayed with Chu Liuxiang to make sure she wasn't bothered and to give advice if needed.
anwhile, Yuan pondered about what kind of technique he wanted.
'I already have plenty of sword techniques but only one dagger technique. I should look for a new dagger technique.'
With that in mind, Yuan began searching for dagger techniques in the jade slip.
Once he found where the techniques' were located in the store, he went to look at them on the shelves.
'Phantom Blade Dance… Earth-rank… '
'Poison Blade Barrage… Heaven-rank…'
'Blade of a Thousand Cuts… Heaven-rank'
"Oh? This Ten Thousand Ghost Blades technique seems very powerful…" Yuan imdiately took a liking to the technique after looking at its description.
