Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 282: Haste Does Not Bring Success!
Seeing Long Chen’s resolute attitude, Feng Ziyuan smiled slightly and nodded in satisfaction. "Very good! That’s exactly the kind of spirit I’m looking for. I wouldn’t impart such a Mystical Skill to anyone else, but you’re different."
Looking at Long Chen, Feng Ziyuan continued, "In you, I see true talent! If even you can’t cultivate it, then there’s no hope for anyone else. Moreover, I have a personal reason for letting you practice this Mystical Skill: I hope you’ll have the chance to perfect it someday."
"This Guiyuan Treasure Technique is primarily about concentrating all the vital energy in your body into a single point, eventually forming a center of consciousness. Once you can do that, you can say you’ve grasped one of its secrets."
After speaking, Feng Ziyuan brought two fingers together and pointed directly at the glabella between Long Chen’s eyebrows. A pale golden light appeared on Long Chen’s body as he felt a dense array of Runes pouring into his mind.
Even though the Guiyuan Treasure Technique was incomplete, he could still sense its immense power from these Runes. If the technique were complete, it would undoubtedly attract the covetous gazes of many.
A moment later, Feng Ziyuan retracted his fingers, and Long Chen returned to normal.
Feng Ziyuan reminded him, "I have imparted to you the existing sections of the Guiyuan Treasure Technique. As for your future cultivation, that will be entirely up to your own fortune. But there is one thing I must inform you of: this Guiyuan Treasure Technique is the highest secret of the Guiyuan Academy. You must not reveal it to anyone, do you understand?"
"Senior Feng, rest assured. My lips are sealed. I will never breathe a word about the Guiyuan Treasure Technique," Long Chen nodded, then sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
Feng Ziyuan didn’t leave, instead standing guard beside him.
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
Long Chen had been immersed in devoted cultivation the entire time. During this period, he came to understand the mysteries of the Guiyuan Treasure Technique. He discovered that, just as Feng Ziyuan had said, it truly allowed one to mobilize all of their vital energy. Not only that, but he could also give form to the vital energy!
The vital energy could even be progressively intensified, instantly bringing one’s essence, qi, and spirit to their peak. In this state, the power unleashed by the Guiyuan Treasure Technique would be astonishing.
With this new understanding, Long Chen began to circulate his energy according to the mental cultivation method recorded in the Runes. Gradually, a faint golden glow enveloped his body. Watching from the side, Feng Ziyuan grew more alert, closely monitoring Long Chen’s condition.
Long Chen’s cultivation started smoothly, but the vital energy he had condensed began to dissipate. Unwilling to give up, he focused his mind and desperately compressed the power within his body, trying to regather the dispersing vital energy. Unfortunately, no matter what he did, he couldn’t succeed.
Immediately after, his blood and qi churned violently within him, and a trickle of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Feng Ziyuan, who was standing guard, frowned immediately. He sighed. A backlash had occurred after all.
His figure flashed, and he disappeared from his spot. The next second, he appeared at Long Chen’s side with incredible speed.
"Hold on! Steady your mind! Don’t panic!" Feng Ziyuan shouted, then quickly gathered his strength and struck Long Chen’s back with his palm.
With Feng Ziyuan’s help, the color gradually returned to Long Chen’s face. The vital energy that had previously dissipated reconsolidated around his body. A short while later, Long Chen stopped practicing the Guiyuan Treasure Technique.
He let out a long, turbid breath and exclaimed, "Even though this Guiyuan Treasure Technique is an incomplete volume, its power is far beyond what I can currently control."
After speaking, he took an Elixir Pill from his spatial ring and swallowed it to regulate the blood and qi within his body. Only after doing all this did he slowly begin to recover.
Feng Ziyuan said coolly, "Cultivating the Guiyuan Treasure Technique cannot be rushed. To master this Mystical Skill, you’ll need a great deal of patience. The practice of this technique must be approached gradually. Take a moment to rest."
"However, you must remember this: do not attempt to practice the Guiyuan Treasure Technique on your own. If something goes wrong, the loss will far outweigh the gain! You may only continue cultivating this Guiyuan Treasure Technique when I am here to act as your protector. Understand?"
