Chapter 100: Heart Source Technique

Chapter 100 – Heart Origin Technique
Chen Fei walked up to a stall and realized that it was filled with all sorts of secret books of gongfu. Seeing this scene, Chen Fei’s eyes suddenly surfaced in front of his eyes when he was in Pingyin County, Chi De Feng was selling secret books of gongfu.

“This senior brother, what do you want to order?” The stall owner appeared extremely enthusiastic.

“This is the Scripture Pavilion, right?” Chen Fei pointed to the attic in the distance.

“Yes, this is the Scripture Collection Pavilion.”

The stall owner looked at Chen Fei’s puzzled expression and couldn’t help but smile, saying, “This is the first time for senior brother to come to the hidden scriptures pavilion, right? All of these secret books of ours have been obtained from outside, and are different from the ones in the hidden scriptures pavilion. And we do charge silver here, or bartering is also possible.”

Chen Fei nodded, but still wondered, “You guys set up a stall like this, and the sect allows it?”

“I didn’t know before, but when I came here, this side was like this.”

The stall owner wasn’t too old and scratched his head, saying, “Has senior brother ever been to the Treasure Pavilion, there are stalls outside there as well, but what they sell are all sorts of blades and miscellaneous items, somewhat similar to this side.”

Chen Fei was somewhat dazed, it seemed that the sect did not purposely open up a workshop market, so he simply set up a stall in front of the two pavilions at the will of the disciples.

“Senior brother want to take a look at the secret books, here, although it is not as good as the hidden scriptures within the pavilion, but better than cheap, and easy to learn and easy to understand, more or less also counts as a means of self-defense.” The stall owner recommended the secret books on the stall.

“Are there any that enhance the mind defense?” Chen Fei asked with a try-and-see attitude.

“Yes, senior brother take a look at this one.” The stall owner rummaged through the stall and took out a secret book and handed it to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei took it and flipped through it slightly, and a moment later, Chen Fei closed the secret book and pondered slightly.

The secret book was only half a book, but one could tell a little something. The effect, if any, was somewhat similar to the Meditation Skill that Chen Fei was learning nowadays, and cultivating it to the great circle would allow him to see through illusions to a certain extent, and would not be easily seduced by the weirdness.

If he had come across this kind of secret book before coming to Immortal Cloud City, Chen Fei would have bought it without hesitation. Although it was a bit overlapping with the Meditation Skill, it would be more or less enhanced after fusion and cultivation.

But now that it was in the Yuan Chen Sword Sect, such a secret book, more or less, seemed a bit of a chicken rib, unless there was no better choice within the hidden scriptures.

“How much?” Chen Fei asked.

“Five hundred taels.” The stall owner smiled.

Chen Fei nodded and returned the secret book.

“This senior brother don’t leave in a hurry, if you think it’s too expensive, you can return the price, price-wise, we can negotiate.” Seeing Chen Fei about to leave, the stall owner hurriedly said.

The corner of Chen Fei’s mouth moved slightly, this routine was so familiar, later on, if he really returned the price, it was estimated that the stall owner would immediately respond.

Chen Fei didn’t say anything, waved his hand and didn’t look at the other stalls, raised his foot and walked inside the hidden scripture pavilion.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, the noisy sounds outside disappeared at once.

Inside the Scripture Pavilion, there were still quite a few people, but none of them made any noise, appearing extremely quiet.

Much like the kind of library Chen Fei saw in his last life, rows and rows of bookshelves were neatly arranged, and what was placed on the shelves were not really secret books, but detailed descriptions of the secret books of feats.

To really get the secret books, you have to go to the side of the entrance, where there is a counter, and after the deacon disciple registers, he will hand over the real secret books to you.

Body Technique, Sword Technique, Internal Strength, and Miscellaneous Techniques, there were four areas in the Bible Pavilion.

There were very few people in the area of internal strength, the Tong Yuan Gong was not bad in terms of power, and it carried on with the rest of the Yuan Chen Sword Sect’s techniques, so very few disciples would go to change their training, and more disciples stayed in the area of Sword Techniques and Body Techniques.

The master of each inner disciple can only teach a few body and sword techniques allowed by the sect, and not all that the master will be able to teach you. Thus, if you found that the techniques did not fit with you, you would need to come to the hidden scripture pavilion to look for them.

In this way, the importance of the contribution value could be maintained.

Some disciples, on the other hand, simply came here to increase their knowledge, and did not necessarily want to actually exchange for any gong methods.

Chen Fei skipped over the other areas and came to the Miscellaneous Arts area.

There were a lot of secret books here, and all of the blade strokes other than sword arts were placed here. Of course, there were also Dan formulas, weapon refining techniques, and even zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which were there, quite a variety.

Chen Fei first went to the location of the Dan Formulas and took down the Dan Formulas for the Fei Ling Dan and glanced at the price.

Two thousand contribution value!
Chen Fei’s eyes brightened slightly, the price was far cheaper than expected. The only thing, what was learned here was not to be spread out without permission, once discovered, the consequences were quite serious.

After reading the introduction of the Fei Ling Dan a little bit, which was not far from what Chen Fei knew, Chen Fei put the books back.

Chen Fei thought for a moment and found the formula for the Meridian Dan.

One thousand contribution value!
The price was not bad, it was just like what Chen Fei had planned before, today’s time was a bit tight, and this kind of Dan with a small audience and herbs that were still hard to find was not very suitable for Chen Fei for the time being.

Putting the books back, Chen Fei began to look for the secret techniques to enhance his mind.

After looking around, the bookshelves were too big, and Chen Fei asked a fellow disciple before finding a bookshelf in the corner.

Chen Fei went up and took a look, and his face could not help but show a hint of joy. There was actually a large half of a bookshelf here, storing all of the secret books on mind-related techniques.

Originally, Chen Fei was worried that a book would be hard to find, but now it seemed that he had somewhat underestimated the depths of the Yuanchen Sword Sect, and this was entirely caused by Chen Fei’s own lack of vision.

After all, he had just come out from a small place, where the blockade on secret books was too harsh.

Chen Fei’s first book in the upper right corner began to flip through, the secret books of the mind here, Chen Fei intends to view the past without dropping a single book, and finally determine what he needs.

An hour’s time passed quietly, Chen Fei’s hand was left with the introductions of two secret books, making Chen Fei somewhat hesitant. The reason for the hesitation was simple, both books were very favorite, but the contribution value was not enough, Chen Fei could only choose one to exchange.

Heart Origin Skill!

Also known as the Heart Ape Skill, subduing one’s own heart and mind thoughts that are like apes, jumping all the time and unable to quiet down. When practiced successfully, it allows one to be in a state of calmness at all times, clearly capturing each of one’s thoughts.

There was a slight resemblance to the Meditation Skill, but the Heart Source Skill was even more powerful. Cultivated to the great circle, the Heart Source Skill could utilize the power of the mind thoughts to reverse strengthen one’s own mind, preparing one for the Orifice Training Realm.

Practicing orifices, in itself, required the mind to be strong enough to measure the orifices with the mind and open them. If one’s mind was insufficient, one could not even measure it, let alone open it.

Five thousand five hundred contribution value!
At this price, Chen Fei did not find it too expensive, but instead felt that it was worth every penny. After all, if he could enhance his mind now, then in the future, cultivating the Orifice Practicing Realm would definitely be twice the effort with half the effort.

The only thing was, this technique was more of a water-dripping, step-by-step path, and cultivating it to the great circle wouldn’t be able to enhance Chen Fei’s ability to defend his mind against attacks at once.

It needed to rely on time, just like the growth of internal energy.

Heart Locking Skill!

Through a special method, self-compression of the mind. Although the total amount of the mind remained the same, the density increased a lot, and the defense against mind attacks naturally rose a lot.

And when practiced later, because of the increased purity of the mind, it would also be easy to control. The only drawback was that compression was extremely difficult.

It was difficult to compress internal energy, let alone control the difficult mind. As a result, the difficulty of cultivating this Heart Locking Skill was comparable to the Heart Origin Skill in general, but it was much harder to get started than the Heart Origin Skill.

The Heart Origin Skill could not be said to be easy to learn and difficult to master, but at least getting started would be a bit better.

The Heart Locking Technique required five thousand contribution value.

If possible, Chen Fei hoped to redeem both books, by then the total amount of mind could grow again, and the purity was not spared. Then in the future, when preparing to measure the orifices, he would definitely be able to do so.

But alas, being shy, reality did not allow Chen Fei to have both, and could only choose one first.

“To a certain extent, the Meditation Technique can actually see through illusions. If the total amount of my mind is raised, I might be able to amplify the effects of the Meditation Technique.”

More is beautiful, bigger is better, caliber is justice, turret is truth!
Chen Fei hesitated for a moment, but still chose the Heart Source Skill to make his heart bigger and stronger first, after all, it would be more beneficial for the future. As for the ability of the Heart Locking Skill to compress the mind, one could only wait until there was more contribution value in the future.

Having made up his mind, Chen Fei came to the counter of the Scripture Pavilion.

“Redeeming the Fei Ling Dan formula as well as the Heart Origin Skill.”

Chen Fei handed over his belt tag, the deacon disciple glanced at Chen Fei, the two items were worth 7,500 contribution value, most disciples at the Viscera Practicing Realm would hardly have this much contribution value.

Unexpectedly, this Calcined Bone Realm disciple in front of him had so much contribution value.

The deacon disciple did not ask more questions, nor did he have any reminders, and matter-of-factly deducted the contribution value recorded within the waist plate, while having someone bring Chen Fei to a room.

Two secret books were placed on the table, precisely the formula of the Fei Ling Dan as well as the technique of the Heart Origin Technique. All Chen Fei had to do now was to transcribe the techniques himself and take them away.

In the future, if it was discovered that Chen Fei had leaked the merit laws, secret books of this magnitude, Chen Fei might be abolished from his cultivation and expelled from the division at that time.

Thus, most people would destroy the secret books after practicing.

An hour later, Chen Fei left the Scripture Pavilion and returned to his house.

“Dan formula found, do we spend one thousand taels of silver to simplify the Fei Ling Dan formula?”

“Fei Ling Dan formula simplification in progress…simplification successful…Fei Ling Dan formula → Chang Fu Dan formula!”

There was nothing unexpected about the simplification result, and Chen Fei looked towards the Heart Source Technique.

After spending half an hour trying to run the Heart Origin Technique, the result was quite smooth, after all, there was the base of the Meditation Technique.

[Technique: Heart Origin Technique Introductory (1/2000)]

“Fusing the Meditation Technique and the Heart Source Technique!”

“Discovered the gongfu Jingyuan Secrets, does it cost 5,000 taels of silver to simplify the Jingyuan Secrets?”

“Static Origin Skill simplification in progress…simplification successful…Static Origin Skill → Static Heart Skill!”

[Technique: Jingyuan Secrets Mastery (2356/5000)]

Chen Fei looked at the information displayed on the panel for the Jingyuan Skill, not only had the cost of simplification increased by a very large amount, after fusion, the proficiency had also changed drastically.

The proficiency level alone, to the top surprisingly required five thousand. Fortunately, after simplification, the difficulty of cultivation had little effect on Chen Fei, it was just the length of time spent.

The matter of feats wasn’t over yet, Chen Fei took out the Spiritual Weapon Tongxie that he had just obtained today.

After spending half an hour, Chen Fei finished reading the Spiritual Weapons General Explanation, Chen Fei tried to run it, it was extremely obscure, and it failed at once.

Chen Fei was not in a hurry, and after spending a whole hour or so calmly and quietly, he finally managed to run it in his mind once.
