Chapter 196: Exchange and Mind Debugging Experiment

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing that Lin Yan was reading attentively, Liu Lanqing left first.

Lin Yan sat alone in the empty martial arts hall and flipped through the nearly

20 Force Features.

Every Force Feature had a corresponding short note. It was clearly more specific than the exchange list he had seen last time.

For example, Gloomy Wind. Previously, there were only the words “speed feature” on the exchange list. Now, it said:

“Glorious Wind, Body Strengthening Force Feature, Yellow Grade. It can increase speed and is good at sneak attacks. It’s silent when you move and your force circulation doesn’t leave any traces. It’s worth a Great Merit.”

Clearly, this was the exchange list that belonged to the Demon Suppression Division. It was clearly different from the one he had seen previously.

After reading through the entries, Lin Yan gradually had a rough understanding of the Force Features.

First of all, the value of nearly 20 Force Features ranged from one Great Merit to three Great Merits. Of course, this was the discounted price.

Obviously, the more valuable it was, the more precious it would be, and the more effective it would be.

Secondly, after each Force Feature, there would be a classification. All the Force Features on the list were roughly divided into three major categories.

Elemental, Body Strengthening, and Special.

Among them, Lin Yan understood that the Elemental was similar to elemental enchantment. It was equivalent to adding elemental characteristics like fire, lightning, frost, wind, and so on to one’s force, greatly increasing its power.

As for the Body Strengthening type, it strengthened one’s ability in a certain aspect, such as speed, defense, strength, or other more detailed aspects.

The last Special category was the Force Features with a certain special function.

For example, there was a Force Feature called “White Rainbow”. It could allow one’s force to have the characteristic of spinning and dividing, allowing one’s force to split and turn when attacking, injuring people invisibly.

According to this category, the Demon Tiger Swallowing the Mountain in Lin Yan’s hand should also belong to the special category with special functions.

The Body Strengthening category seemed to be the weakest. Almost 90% of the Body Strengthening Force Features were only worth one Great Merit.

Next was the elemental class. From one Great Merit to three Great Merits.

Lastly, there was the Special category. There were the least number of them, only three, but each was worth three Great Merits.

However, this was only the Yellow Grade Force Feature, and it was only limited to the 20 Force Features in this book. It was also possible that the powerful Body Strengthening Force Features were very precious, and the Demon Suppression Division did not take them out.

“From the ranking of power, among the nearly twenty Force Features, the rarest are these three special Force Features and a few elemental ones.

“However, my goal is not to choose a powerful Force Feature. Instead, I want to choose more Force Features as nourishment to help me deduce my own Force Feature.

“Special Force Features have different effects, and there are no patterns to follow.

“The Body Strengthening Force Features are all worth one Great Merit. They look a little ineffective.

“As for the elemental Force Features, 1 don’t know if it’s because of Liu Lanqing or the Vermillion Bird Hall, but there are actually five of them. All of them are inclined towards the fire attribute.”

Lin Yan looked at the five Force Features again. They were:

Nether Fire: Cold Fire, a Great Merit

Warm Flame: An extremely difficult fire to extinguish, a Great Merit

Burning Sun: Extremely high-temperature fire, 2 Great Merits

Flying Flames: Activate flames extremely fast, 2 Great Merits.

Star Fire: Sticky fire that will spread while burning, 3 Great Merits.

There were a total of five Force Features, all related to the fire attribute.

“Fire is very common. To me, this is suitable as the beginning of the deduction of the Force Feature!”

Lin Yan even specially flipped through the Unusual Items they needed. As long as it was a fire-elemental Unusual Item, it could achieve these five Force Features. This undoubtedly provided Lin Yan with great convenience for his test.

Previously, he had a total of 5 Great Merits and 5 Small Merits.

In the past month, although he did not follow Liu Lanqing out on missions, Liu Lanqing still calculated his merits as usual. According to the calculation of one Small Merit every two days, one month was exactly 15 Small Merits, which was converted into one Great Merit and five Small Merits.

Altogether, there were a total of seven Great Merits. Lin Yan carefully looked at these five Force Features and removed the “Star Fire” that was worth three Great Merits from his list. The remaining four Force Features were worth a total of six Great Merits.

He still had to keep the remaining Great Merit. The four prerequisite martial arts techniques corresponding to the Force Features were all secret martial arts techniques. They were originally worth 5 Small Merits, but now that they were discounted, one only cost 2 Small Merits, and the four were only worth 8 Small Merits.

This way, he happened to have 2 Small Merits left. Lin Yan simply exchanged for the prerequisite martial arts of Star Fire. In any case, they were all fire-elemental and could be used as fuel for experiments.

Unfortunately, Unusual Items were really expensive. Lin Yan clearly didn’t have enough merits, so he could only put them aside for the time being.

After making his choice, Lin Yan went out and found Liu Lanqing. He told her what he needed to exchange for.

Liu Lanqing was not very surprised that he had exchanged for so many Force Features. “Are you looking for a Force Feature that suits you? However, why don’t you exchange for a stronger Force Feature?

“The Force Features that cost three Great Merits would have required at least ten Great Merits to exchange for in the past.

“You have seven Great Merits. It’s enough to exchange for two.

“I remember that there are two Force Features called Rumbling Thunder and Wind Dance. After the destruction of the Wind Thunder Pavilion in the past, the Force Features that were passed down were the most precious among these Yellow Grade Force Features.”

Lin Yan was shocked. “The Force Features of the Wind Thunder Pavilion?”

“What Old Wu practices is the Force Feature of Rumbling Thunder.”

Lin Yan recalled the powerful scene of Wu Qinglei raising his hand and swinging the lightning. The lightning was indeed quite strong.

However, Lin Yan thought about it. His goal was always to deduce the Force Features and obtain a Black Grade or even Jade Grade Force Feature.

Moreover, he could obtain more merits in the future. There was no need to be anxious at this moment.

“Alright, you have your own opinions to begin with. I won’t say anything else.

Give me a moment.”

Not long after, Liu Lanqing came over with nearly ten books. “Those are the originals. You can’t take them away, but you can make a copy.

“Remember, these secret martial arts techniques and even the Force Feature are all private assets of the Demon Suppression Division. You only have the right to use them, but you can’t teach them to others privately.

“There were once greedy Demon Suppression Guards who leaked them. Later on, their outcome was very ugly. You’re a smart person. I don’t need to say much.”

Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat. “I understand.”

At the same time, he thought of Demon Tiger Swallowing the Mountain and Infinity. Did these two Force Features also belong to someone? They probably couldn’t be casually revealed.

After about two hours, he finally finished copying it.

Lin Yan shook his sore arm and blew dry the last page. Then, he found Liu Lanqing again and returned everything.

“Remember to report here at dawn three days later. I’m worried that Ling Shuangxue will do something again. Next, you have to follow us on a mission to explore the poisonous fog!”

“Yes!

Three days later?

Lin Yan did not go home. Instead, he went straight to Zhen Youqian’s shop and found him.

The items sold in his shop were actually ancient items covered in mud and dust. There were rusty sabers, spears, swords, and halberds. There were also strange-looking fragments that looked like the remains of some handicrafts. In short, they were all ancient relics that seemed to have been unearthed not long ago.

“Brother Lin, why are you here?”

Zhen Youqian hurriedly invited Lin Yan into the inner room.

Lin Yan didn’t say anything else. He took out the remaining five second-grade Spirit Marrows and placed them on the table. “I have something urgent to attend to. Can you break these five second-grade Spirit Marrows into low-grade ones by the end of today? If you succeed, you can take 10% away.”

Zhen Youqian’s eyes lit up. A Second-grade Spirit Marrow was equivalent to 20 Spirit Coins. 10% of five was 10 Spirit Coins, which were worth two first-grade Spirit Marrows. He could earn two first-grade Spirit Marrows for nothing.

When Lin Yan saw his expression, he understood. “Looks like you do have a way. Can you do it?”

“I can!”

He knew many people from gold and silver cities. It was not difficult to exchange the second-grade Spirit Marrows.

‘Til leave them to you.”

With that, Lin Yan left. As for whether Zhen Youqian would pocket his Spirit Marrows, the man could run, but he couldn’t hide. Moreover, Lin Yan had known Zhen Youqian for some time. He wasn’t a short-sighted person.

After returning to his residence, Lin Yan first took out the five secret martial arts manuals.

They had different names. There were fists, palms, and swords. For convenience, when Lin Yan copied them, he did not record them according to their original names. Instead, he named them according to their corresponding Force Features:

“Nether Fire: Sword”, “Warm Flame: Palm”, “Burning Sun: Fist”, “Flying Flames: Knife”, “Star Fire: Hand”.

He read the five secret manuals in succession and controlled the Formless Clones in his chest to begin cultivating.

By controlling the Formless Clones like this, he could make them master all five secret cultivation techniques to 100% proficiency. Lin Yan’s comprehension of these five secret cultivation techniques immediately rose to a proficient level.

“Unfortunately, I can’t replicate the martial arts realm of the Formless Clones on my body. Otherwise, I can cultivate any martial arts to the Perfection realm in an extremely short period of time.”

The reason why the Formless Clones cultivated the martial arts fast was because the Formless Avatars had extremely strong control over their bodies.

Therefore, even if Lin Yan had the same level of comprehension, his body could not be controlled to the extreme like a clone.

It was equivalent to knowing with his eyes, but his body could not do it. He had to practice for a long time before he could reach the realm.

The Enlightenment Spiritual Light accelerated the process of this practice through enlightenment.

“So, it’s my body that’s holding me back…”

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lin Yan’s mind.

“My body is a hindrance, but my mind is extremely powerful because of the Wondrous Tao Te Ching!

“Then, can I copy the mental state of a small person into myself through the Wondrous Tao Te Ching?

“My martial arts realm is limited by my body and I can’t do it, but my mental state is more important. 1 might really be able to copy the mental state of the clone into my own body!

“If that’s the case, there might be a way to bypass the restrictions of the state of mind and simulate different states of mind!”

Among the three conditions of Force Feature, Unusual Items seemed to be the most difficult to achieve at first glance. However, in fact, the stronger the Force Feature, the harder it was to meet the requirements of mental state!

Lin Yan immediately sat cross-legged and created a Formless Clone. He began to experiment according to his plan..
