Cultivation Online

Chapter 251: Soul Techniques

After cooking dinner, Meixiu went back into Yuan’s room to feed him. However, she was a little bit nervous to enter his room at first, fearing that uncomfortable atmosphere that still lingered in her body.

Yuan stopped cultivating the moment he noticed Meixiu standing in front of his room.

Sometime later, Meixiu began feeding Yuan three bowls of soup.

After Yuan gobbled down all three bowls of soup with ease, Meixiu gently wiped his lips with a wet towel.

“Allow me to wipe your body now,” said Meixiu in a somewhat shaky voice.

“Okay.”

Meixiu proceeded to unbutton Yuan’s customized pajamas and began wiping his body down with a warm wet towel.

‘His body… It’s even more refined and muscular than last time… Just how does his body work?’ Meixiu wondered to herself as she wiped every nook and cranny of his body before moving to the lower areas.

Meixiu swallowed nervously as she carefully wiped his lower body, trying her best to avoid another accident like last time.

A few minutes later, Meixiu buttoned his clothes back up before leaving the room to clean up.

Meanwhile, Yuan returned to cultivating.

After cleaning the dishes and taking a shower, Meixiu visited Yuan one more time before bed to see if he needed anything.

“Goodnight, Meixiu.”

“Goodnight…”

Once Meixiu went to sleep, Yuan began absorbing the spiritual energy in the area.

‘Is it because we’re living in a higher place that there’s more spiritual energy here?’ Yuan wondered to himself as he realized that compared to his old home, the spiritual energy in this place was more abundant.

One hour… Two hours… Three hours…

Time passed in a flashing speed as Yuan deeply indulged himself in his cultivation, achieving another breakthrough and reaching 4th level Spirit Warrior.

‘At this rate, I’ll catch up to my cultivation in Cultivation Online…’ Yuan thought to himself.

‘Wait a second…’

Yuan suddenly came to a realization.

‘If I could use Divine Sense when I am only a Spirit Warrior in Cultivation Online, perhaps I’ll also be able to Divine Sense in this world with my current cultivation?’

Yuan could feel his heartbeats quickening immediately after this thought.

What if he can use Divine Sense to see again? This way, even if he cannot move, he can at least see his surroundings.

With this thought in mind, Yuan immediately began trying to use Divine Sense.

‘Let’s see… Divine Sense…’

Yuan tried to replicate the feeling he gets when he uses Divine Sense in Cultivation Online, but after trying for a couple of minutes without any results, Yuan gave up for the moment.

‘Why can’t I use Divine Sense? Do I have to reach Spirit Master before I can use Divine Sense like Xiao Hua once said?’ Yuan wondered to himself.

Just like how he couldn’t immediately breakthrough to Spirit Warrior from Spirit Apprentice without enlightenment like he had in the game, perhaps he can’t use Divine Sense until he’s a Spirit Master either.

‘Or maybe I’m just not used to Divine Sense enough to use it in the real world. I should practice in Cultivation Online after breakfast and try again later.’

Meixiu woke up early in the morning to prepare breakfast. After feeding Yuan, she went to school with Yu Rou whilst Yuan went into Cultivation Online to practice his Divine Sense.

“Xiao Hua, are there any tricks to learning Divine Sense?” Yuan decided to ask the expert before doing anything.

“Unfortunately, just like enlightenment, Divine Sense is something one naturally learns when they reach Spirit Master. Of course, there are geniuses who learn Divine Sense before that like Brother Yuan, these people are very rare.” Xiao Hua said to him.

“I see… Then is there any way to practice Divine Sense to make it stronger?” He then asked.

“As long as you continue using it, you’ll naturally improve. Though there are methods to training one’s Divine Sense, and that is to cultivate Soul Techniques.”

“Soul Techniques? How are they any different compared to normal cultivation techniques?”

“As the name suggests, Soul Technique specifically trains one’s spirit and soul. However, these techniques are very rare and even the lowest rank Soul Techniques can be worth more than Heaven-rank cultivation techniques.”

“What? They’re that valuable?” Yuan was shocked to learn this.

“Of course. While it’s relatively easy for a Cultivator to train their physical bodies and their cultivation bases, training their soul is an entirely different matter, and without the proper technique, there’s a high chance of damaging their soul— a risk no sane Cultivator would dare to risk since a damaged soul usually means instant death with no chance of reincarnation.” Xiao Rou said.

And she continued, “Training one’s soul is a very delicate matter that requires extreme care and attention, as a single mistake could cost even an Immortal their entire life.”

“Immortals and reincarnation? Do they really exist?” Yuan couldn’t help but ask.

“While Immortals are definitely very real, reincarnation, one the other hand… There has been no solid evidence it exists. However, many if not most Cultivators believe in reincarnation,” said Xiao Hua.

“I see… Thank you, Xiao Hua. I’ll practice my Divine Sense the normal way since I don’t have a Soul Technique and I don’t feel like touching something that dangerous without more knowledge.”

“Xiao Hua will help Brother Yuan.” Xiao Hua said, and she continued, “Sit down and activate your Divine Sense.”

Yuan nodded and followed her instructions.

Once he was seated in the lotus position, he closed his eyes and activated his Divine Sense.

“Now try to expand your Divine Sense until you can no longer expand it.” Xiao Hua’s voice resounded.

A few moments later, Yuan expanded his Divine Sense until he reached his limit, feeling like someone trying to stretch their arms without moving.

“Good. Now keep your Divine Sense like that until you can no longer endure it, Brother Yuan. This will improve your endurance and strength at the same time,” Xiao Hua said to him like a lecturer.
