06. Ghost River Cultivation Art

From his predecessor's memories, Fang Yang knew that he normally cultivates late in the night and early in the morning.

Because he was so exhausted he missed the opportunity to cultivate at night so prepared to cultivate in the morning.

Besides this, Fang Yang was also a little excited to start cultivation.

Who didn't want to live a long life?

In the previous world immortality was only a fairy tale, a wish of dreamers and lunatics, but here it was a very tangible thing!

Besides, who knows if his transmigration may have changed things and maybe even mutated this body's talent.

As Fang Yang was thinking this he sunk into cultivation.

The cultivation technique Fang Yang cultivated was called the Ghost River Cultivation Art

It was a cultivation technique of Yin nature that made one's Qi as powerful and vigorous as a raging river whilst having the evil and poisonous nature of a raging ghost.

But such a powerful cultivation technique didn't come without any cost.

Looking at the details of the cultivation technique, Fang Yang couldn't help but take a deep breath.

His predecessor may not be talented, but he sure was ruthless enough!

The Ghost River Cultivation Art was not an easy Cultivation technique to specialise in. For most cultivation techniques, cultivation was a pleasant thing that would make the practitioner feel warm and comfortable.

Unfortunately, the Ghost River Art was the complete opposite. Just cultivating the Ghost River art would make you feel like you plunged into a freezing river and the more you ran the cultivation technique the more the feeling of ice-cold prickling needles would emerge over your body.

The previous Fang Yang didn't cultivate this technique because he was a masochist. The Ghost River Cultivation Art came with the added benefit of making the practitioner's Qi much more abundant and powerful than other Cultivators of the same level.

Originally, the previous Fang Yang had wanted to find a cultivation technique that could speed up his rate of cultivation, but those things were either complete demonic techniques that had brutal side effects or simply techniques that were out of his reach. Because of this, he decided that he would cultivate the Ghost River Cultivation Art.

From the perspective of the predecessor, even if his talent was poor and he couldn't get strong fast, he would never allow himself to be weak at the same level.

Because of this, for the past 7 years, Fang Yang had endured a terrifying, bone-chilling pain every single day.

"What a complete madman..." muttered Fang Yang in awe.

He couldn't help but admire his predecessor's ruthlessness.

After all, he could simply cultivate a normal cultivation technique if he wanted to

This wasn't even the only cultivation technique that could make one's qi more abundant and powerful at the same level. There were other cultivation techniques that could achieve a similar thing, the only downside was that people who specialised in these cultivation techniques often had a slower cultivation speed than others, so such cultivation arts were usually only practised by geniuses or people with sufficient financial support.

The previous Fang Yang was neither of those things so he could only grit his teeth and endure the vicious Ghost River Cultivation Art.

Fang Yang knew from his memories how vicious the Ghost River Cultivation Art was, but nothing could ever be the same as experiencing it himself.

To be honest, after learning the details, Fang Yang was even starting to question whether he could follow in his predecessor's footsteps.

A week ago he could only be considered a regular person, no matter how much he wanted to it was still difficult for him to subject himself to self-torture in order to gain strength.

But as he remembered the despair of his predecessor and the hopelessness of his poor-quality root bones, Fang Yang could only carry on.

'If the previous Fang Yang could endure it then so can I!' Thought Fang Yang to himself.

Taking a deep breath Fang Yang began to run the Ghost River Cultivation Art like it was described in his memories, and the second he did, he couldn't help but shiver.

A bone-chilling cold crept into his body, gnawing down deep into his bones. For Fang Yang, he felt like his body had just been dropped into the Arctic Ocean.

But even with this Fang Yang didn't stop running the Ghost River Cultivation Art persevering on. But as Fang Yang continued practising he noticed something horrifying.

To his dismay, Fang Yang found that as he drew Qi into his meridians, at least 70% of that Qi would slip out of his control quickly dissipating from his meridians before he could gather it in his dantian.

'Is this because of a poor root bone?' Thought Fang Yang in disbelief

Watching 70% of your effort quite literally fade into thin air was too tragic, not to mention that he had to endure the chilling cold afflicting his body the entire time. Those things when added together were enough to drive even the sanest of men a little crazy

But just one experience wasn't enough to dampen Fang Yang's experience of cultivation just yet.

For the next 2 hours, Fang Yang stayed in steady meditation going until his meridians couldn't bear the strain any longer and he finally broke free of the meditative state.

As Fang Yang woke up an ugly expression was plastered on his face.

He had finally gotten to experience how pathetic a poor-quality root bone was and could understand why his predecessor dared to risk everything on a daring adventure.

At this time, he had practically made no progress and was still miles off of the 3rd level of Qi refinement.

Looking over towards Corpse puppet who was standing by idly, Fang Yang couldn't help but feel better.

Even if he himself was quite pathetic, he at least had a high-tier thug that wouldn't even fear mid-stage Qi cultivators.

Feeling much better about this fact, Fang Yang decided to look at the other aspects of cultivation that his predecessor had mastered.

Aside from the Ghost River Cultivation Art, Fang Yang had practised 3 spells.
