He Yiming's lightness kung fu was only so-so, but his inner strength was abundant. Even in the entire Taicang County, he could definitely be ranked in the top three. Thus, once he started running, he would be much faster than a horse.
He didn't immediately return to He Jia Village, but instead came to the county. After changing his appearance, he booked a large courtyard in an inn and stayed there.
In any case, he still had a few big ingots in his hands. For someone of his age, if he didn't show off his wealth, he would feel regret. Thus, taking advantage of this opportunity to pretend to be a rich man, it was understandable.
Although Taicang County wasn't very rich, not to mention the entire Tian Luo Kingdom, it wasn't even ranked in Linlang County. However, the county was still the center of the county.
Even if it was a poor place, there would still be rich and powerful people. Among the few inns in the county, there were also a few high-end places. The place where He Yiming was currently staying was one of them.
In a quiet and secluded room, He Yiming flipped open the secret manual in his hands.
He quietly read it, and from time to time, he would close his eyes and ponder. There were some things that he didn't fully understand before, but ever since he reached the peak of Level Ten, his understanding of inner strength had increased by another level.
At this moment, he was comparing his thoughts with this top level inner strength cultivation technique, and suddenly, he understood something.
Compared to the Raging Flame Technique, the Withered Wood Technique seemed to be more difficult to cultivate.
Withered Wood, Withered Wood, since even its name was Withered Wood, then the effects and characteristics of this technique were even more obvious.
Once he cultivated this technique and mastered it, his entire body would become more and more like a piece of wood. This didn't only refer to the change in personality, but it was also said that the body would develop similarly.
When he read this paragraph, even He Yiming couldn't help but hesitate.
His personality originally didn't like to be flamboyant. Even if he had reached the peak of Level Ten, he wouldn't announce it to the world and let everyone know about it.
However, he wasn't a monk. If he was asked to be like a piece of wood, then he would be a piece of wood. However, he didn't like being like a piece of wood.
As for the description in the book, the body would become thinner and thinner, and eventually become like a tree trunk, but he didn't care too much.
After all, his physique was different from the rest. Furthermore, he cultivated many cultivation methods at the same time. Even if he deliberately wanted to cultivate his body to the level of a block of wood, it would be difficult to maintain it forever.
Of course, after cultivating the Withered Tree Art, although there were disadvantages of changing one's personality and body shape, there were also many benefits.
The Wood Elemental Cultivation Method was the one with the best healing effects among all the Cultivation Methods. Once one mastered it, it would be equivalent to having a doctor by his side when he was outside. Moreover, it would be the kind of doctor that did not require any medicinal herbs but was able to treat most injuries.
When ordinary cultivators wandered the world with weak abilities, they would find a few like-minded friends to travel with. Among these friends, the ones who were the most popular were undoubtedly those who practiced wood elemental cultivation methods. Moreover, even if there was a battle, the cultivator of the Wood Attribute Cultivation Method was often the target of everyone's protection.
Before the entire army was annihilated, there was basically no need for cultivators of the wood element to risk their lives.
As one of the top Wood Elemental Cultivation Methods, the Withered Tree Art's healing effects were far superior to those of the ordinary Wood Elemental Cultivation Methods. Although He Yiming had never tried this before, he knew that it would not be too exaggerated.
If it did not have this special effect, how could the Withered Tree Art be called the top Wood Elemental Cultivation Method?
Apart from its healing abilities, the Withered Tree Art's biggest specialty was its defensive abilities.
Among the Five Elemental Cultivation Methods, the Earth Elemental Cultivation Method was recognized as the best defensive Cultivation Method in the world. However, among the other Elemental Cultivation Methods, there were some special Cultivation Methods that had defensive abilities that were not inferior to the Earth Elemental Cultivation Methods.
The Withered Tree Art was one of them. Once cultivated to the Great Completion Realm, one's body would be as tough as a ten-thousand-year-old tree. It would not be inferior to the Earth Elemental Cultivation Methods in the slightest.
Of course, wanting to cultivate the Withered Tree Art to that level was not an easy task.
He Yiming had thoroughly analyzed the Withered Tree Art, and had already reached the point where he had a clear understanding of it.
He calmly put down the book and put it away. After a day of reading, he already had a deep impression of the contents of the book.
Although it wasn't as exaggerated as the day when he entered a magical state where he could embed the shape of every word and every detail of every picture in the book into his mind, it was more than enough for his first cultivation.
He focused his mind and calmed his heart. He Yiming's entire body and mind entered a magical and mysterious state.
As his Inner Strength continued to increase, the speed at which he entered a deep state of cultivation became faster and faster.
Moreover, after two years of experience and discussions with his brothers, he also understood a lot of things. It was difficult for ordinary cultivators to completely calm down when they were cultivating their Internal Strength. Although they could cultivate their Internal Strength in a normal state, the results were much slower than when they were wholeheartedly cultivating their Internal Strength.
He Yiming was able to continuously make breakthroughs in this half a year, and it was closely related to this state of cultivation.
It was precisely because he could easily enter the state of wholehearted cultivation that he was able to continuously improve his Internal Strength cultivation from a certain level to the peak state within half a year and touch the limit of this level.
If not for this, once one advanced to the seventh level, just the accumulation of inner strength alone would take ten years or even dozens of years to calculate. How could it be done in a mere half a year?
At this moment, when He Yiming's mind was focused on cultivation, the Inner Strength in his body suddenly became lively. It was a feeling of incomparable excitement that gradually spread throughout his body.
Slowly, his Inner Strength, his meridians, his blood, his organs, and even his entire body seemed to be implanted by his thoughts.
I want to cultivate …
This seemed to have become a kind of desire, causing his entire body to fall into a state of excitement and hunger.
A strand of Inner Strength flowed out from his Dantian and rushed towards an unfamiliar meridian like flowing water.
Almost in an instant, under the impact of his enormous inner strength, this somewhat unfamiliar meridian was completely opened up.
The human body was filled with countless mysteries. Although the meridians of the Five Elements Cultivation Methods were not the same, they were not completely unrelated.
A large amount of Inner Strength flowed endlessly in the body. In fact, many meridians had flowed before, but the specific route and emphasis of the flow were different.
This was not the first time that He Yiming had come into contact with an unfamiliar cultivation method. If one were to talk about the number of cultivation methods that he had cultivated, the complexity of them, and the realm that he had cultivated them to, there was no one else at his age who could compare to him.
Since he had such rich experience, he naturally would not make mistakes in this aspect.
First level, second level, third level …
As time passed, He Yiming's cultivation level of the Withered Wood Technique also became higher and higher.
When he cultivated to the seventh level and above, his entire body seemed to have started to dry up. His originally well-proportioned body suddenly seemed to have lost a large amount of water, as if he had contracted muscular dystrophy, and started to shrink into a ball.
However, He Yiming did not care about this, as if he did not care at all. He still focused all of his attention on this set of Cultivation Methods.
A day and a night passed, and He Yiming was still diligently cultivating.
At this moment, his face seemed to have become much thinner. Even his tightly shut eyes had sunk inwards. Although it could not be said that he was all skin and bones, if he met anyone, they would not be able to recognize his true face.
Although the Withered Wood Technique was not a Disguise Technique, the effect it could exert was more significant than the most powerful Disguise Technique in the world.
The Inner Strength in his body was still flowing endlessly, and his breathing and heartbeat seemed to have completely stopped. Even compared to the Breath Holding Technique, it was not inferior.
If he went out in this state at night, he probably did not need to put on makeup to act mysterious.
Finally. He Yiming opened his eyes, and slowly exhaled a long breath from his mouth.
His eyeballs slowly moved, no longer having the slightest connection with his previous dexterity. Suddenly. His gaze fell on his withered and skinny arm. Looking at the horrifying arm with exposed veins, he seemed to be unable to turn around for a moment.
After a long time, a look of realization finally appeared in his eyes, followed by some uneasiness.
He took a deep breath, and the Inner Strength in his body suddenly changed to the Water Ripple Technique. After a moment, his muscles immediately filled up, as if he was performing magic. Not long after, he had already returned to his original state.
Looking at his own body. He Yiming finally understood.
The Withered Wood Technique was actually somewhat similar to the Bone Dissolving Technique. Both could change the height of the human body, the appearance of the muscles, and so on to a certain extent. It was just that when this technique was practiced to a very high level, the effect of the change was a little too big, causing people to shudder.
After thinking for a while, he already knew that although his appearance had returned to normal, if he continued to use the Withered Wood Technique, or if he suddenly raised the Withered Wood Technique to the tenth level during a fight, then his appearance would have the same change.
Under that kind of situation, as long as one was not blind, then one would definitely be able to recognize the origin of this technique.
This was simply a signature technique that was more obvious than the Lie Flame Technique.
However, since he had already mastered the tenth level of the Withered Wood Technique, then he would not give up. He just had to be more careful when using it in the future.
Moreover, with other techniques as a cover, it was basically impossible for people to suspect him.
