Chapter 114: Myriad Creation Arts
Fengyu didn’t hesitate and asked for the Spiritual Doctor inheritance.
It didn’t take long for this one to also arrive, and this time, the senior directly opened up the restrictions for him.
Fengyu looked into it, understanding dawning on him.
The art of healing consisted of three main branches - Spells, Techniques and Supplementation.
Using Spells to heal was the most basic but also most difficult path to find success in. Only when you gain a Spiritual Inspiration that boosts your spells will you be able to properly learn this path. Else, any spell you cast will be severely lacking and only have a superficial effect.
That is to say, higher spells have better effects, but what’s the point of needing a second-stage spell to heal a normal injury of a Qi Refining cultivator? Even more, usually creation arts allow a cultivator to use their art to heal those above their own cultivation. Without an inspiration, this path is simply useless and should be abandoned.
The path of Techniques was to learn various healing techniques - Acupuncture and Massage being among the most common and widely practiced. These techniques mainly targeted the body’s own recovery mechanism and were the best for daily recovery. Using these techniques on a person, one can keep their body at the peak in every moment, even those old who seemed to be at death’s door could use their full power if they’re treated well.
Lastly is the strongest practice and also the costliest - Supplementation! This branch was about giving something from the outside to allow the cultivator to recover. It had countless sub-branches. Most renowned are medical baths and dietary practices, but there were even more unique ’Elixirs’, a wonder item created from the interaction between alchemy and healing.
These three had their own strengths and are arguably the foundation for true healing. When Fengyu looked at them, he realised that this was very close to a pharmacist to an outsider, but in fact, there was a huge difference. A doctor’s job was to heal, while a pharmacist was a combination of healing and farming, generally only focused on Supplementary practices and weak in other branches of healing.
Myriad paths in the world are inevitably connected. Some rank them, others feel some are more important than others. Fengyu, a modern man, knew that each profession was incredibly important and that losing any of them was a shame. Having five times the same profession was just as bad.
Modern medicine, traditional medicine and household medicine, such things seemed to be the same, ’medicine’, their topics were incredibly similar. Some people in his past life thought that modern medicine was the best and the others were a sham, while others thought that taking a few herbs was enough and there was no need for pills and such.
Having used everything, Fengyu knew best that the greatest relief in society was that there were several paths that could cure every kind of illness.
With an open mind, he naturally didn’t look down on the other inheritances and instead read through them.
And to his surprise, he actually saw two that created an idea in his mind - Spiritual Vein Guide and Weather Master!
The former focused on unearthing and guiding the various veins hidden in the earth of the world, while the other focused on the movements of the sky and the weather.
These two seemed quite unremarkable among the many arts, but Fengyu knew their importance very well!
Vein guides were easy, every vein had its importance, so people didn’t question it.
What about weather masters? Well, many cultivators will think ’Cultivators don’t need good weather, it’s a useless practice’ - but in fact, this is an extremely important part in various arts, most important to the arts related to wind!
In addition, it also controlled the power of thunder and ice, being a creation art that’s close to a battle art, having a natural affinity with fighting even though the focus is on creating various environments suitable for different arts.
It can only be said that these two arts supplement each other, one from below, one from above, creating a supreme environment in the middle.
He looked at it no more and took away his own inheritance, already having an idea about what to do. For now, he would stay with the spells and possibly learn one technique. The rest would have to wait for when he had more time and energy to focus on other things.
"Senior, thank you for all your efforts!" Fengyu finally said after looking through so many things, gaining a new understanding of the city’s foundation.
"You don’t need to worry about it, this is my task."
Fengyu nodded and left with Shanqing, going back to the library.
Sitting down, the man directly took out his token and put it into the opening on the table. Instantly, a tablet rose from the side of the table, various words appearing on it somehow!
Finally it settled and Fengyu saw the content on it - "Contribution Point Exchange List"
Fengyu directly saw those at the start -
< Cultivation resource set for early-stage Qi Refining: 1 Point >
< Cultivation resource set for mid-stage Qi Refining: 3 Points >
< Cultivation resource set for late-stage Qi Refining: 10 Points >
Fengyu was surprised at this and pressed on it. A detailed set of information appeared in a pop-up - the content was basically that the set contained pills, some herbs, some incense and a consumable item that would help your cultivation. The set would be individually created based on the cultivator after the creation master inspected you!
That’s right! There was a creation art specifically focused on aiding cultivators in their cultivation, creating a set that would help them cultivate perfectly.
Fengyu looked in astonishment at this before turning to look at the items below, seeing that many of them were daily needs with lower prices, but each of them had a subscription mode. If he wished so, he could simply ensure a clean delivery monthly!
