Cultivation Primer!
The four big characters appeared on the first page of the ancient which Luo Xiu had just taken out from the synthesis frame.
He didn't rush to synthesize more but eagerly began flipping through it.
He wanted to see what exactly Cultivation Primer was about—how did this suddenly leap from martial arts cultivation to cultivation practice?
Luo Xiu understood cultivation (xiuzhen) was traditionally a path for immortals.
Since the Great Era of Martial Arts began, some Warriors have tried to walk the cultivation path, hoping to become legendary immortals like Lu Dongbin or Zhang Guolao.
But all attempts failed.
Mainly because ancient Daoist classics left by ancestors like Lu Zu were cryptic and lacked concrete cultivation secrets.
Gradually, many Warriors gave up on cultivation—no practical methods, no guidance.
Researchers had no choice but to follow another path—modern Guoshu (national martial arts).
Thus, the Warrior system emerged.
The state developed a detailed cultivation hierarchy: Quasi-Warrior → Warrior → Manifested Strength → Hidden Strength → Grandmaster → Great Grandmaster → Peak.
Luo Xiu's current cultivation system was a perfected product of generations of predecessors, widely adopted throughout Summer Country.
The system was supported by Martial Examinations, martial universities, and rigorous training to produce more warriors to fight against beasts.
"Could it be… that the Warrior Guoshu system is wrong?"
Luo Xiu shook his head subconsciously, flipping to the second page where detailed cultivation theory appeared.
"Xiuzhen, cultivation of truth, ancient and known, commonly called 'Xiu Dao'-cultivating the Way, seeking true self, discarding falsehood, preserving truth."
"It encompasses transforming essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit back to emptiness, merging emptiness with the Dao, reaching the state of True Immortal."
"What is 'True'? It is the highest realm of cultivators, sealed by the spatial higher realm—not self-proclaimed."
"True Immortal is the pinnacle for practitioners who are diligent, virtuous, and have great ambition."
Luo Xiu's head spun a bit—this was ancient cultivation theory, but… it seemed useless practically.
As he flipped further, initially the text was similar to old cultivation theories.
Then a detailed human anatomy diagram appeared, followed by detailed explanations of cultivation realms.
"Xiuzhen's first realm—Foundation Establishment—consists of three methods: body tempering, power refining, and gate unlocking."
"Only when these three unify internally and externally can Foundation be established."
Luo Xiu paused, surprised, and turned the page.
The section on body tempering listed methods, and Luo Xiu immediately felt a stir.
"This… this is basically the Warrior cultivation!"
"Bones, muscles, qi, blood…"
As he read, the cultivation method matched the Warrior method but was far more detailed—covering organs, bone marrow, and internal fortification.
Warrior's body tempering was a simplified version.
"Damn, training according to this would obviously make me stronger!"
He realized the state's Warrior system was oversimplified—only training the outer body—while real cultivation developed the body's essence deeply.
Even bone marrow was tempered!
"Wow, this really is true cultivation!"
Luo Xiu was convinced.
He read on about refining strength—remarkably similar to the Guoshu method of power refining.
Both cultivated power, but cultivation was more advanced.
"So, Warrior training is correct…"
"But too simplified!"
"True cultivation is the ultimate method, an enhanced version of Warrior training…"
Luo Xiu felt enlightened and excited.
"This means I'm cultivating a higher-level system than everyone else!"
"A… dimensionality reduction strike?"
Cultivation versus Warrior.
Warrior hones force; cultivators hone the Way and refine the true body.
Holding the Cultivation Primer in hand, Luo Xiu's heart raced.
What had seemed ordinary suddenly felt incredibly precious.
"Amazing!"
"This Synthesis Panel is insanely powerful!"
"Even cultivation methods can be upgraded through it?!"
Luo Xiu laughed, energized.
"Can I synthesize Cultivation Primer again?"
"It should be the limit for the basic Synthesis Panel…"
He tried. Sure enough, Cultivation Primer was the synthesis limit like Strength Refinement Oscillation Technique.
No further upgrade possible without upgrading Synthesis Panel itself—unlocked only after becoming a Warrior.
"Then… print out 20,000 copies of Martial Arts True Understanding first!"
Luckily, Martial Arts True Understanding was only a dozen pages; printing was quick.
Luo Xiu began madly synthesizing the manuals.
But a problem arose. Synthesizing Martial Arts True Understanding triggered a 10% grade skipping but still resulted in Cultivation Primer!
"So, grade skipping have limits!"
"If it can't skip further, synthesis returns to normal!"
Thinking this, Luo Xiu shifted his grade skipping and rarity focus to fruits, vegetables, and meats he had purchased—hoping to trigger the rare 0.1% chance for unique items with Elixirs.
Ding!
Hours passed. Late at night, Luo Xiu toiled until a sudden burst of rainbow light erupted from Synthesis Panel.
Half-asleep, Luo Xiu snapped awake.
"Hm? A 0.1% rare unique item?"
Eyes fixed on Synthesis Panel, he saw it was synthesizing two Martial Arts True Understanding .
Normally, this would upgrade to Cultivation Primer, but now it was a 0.1% rare unique synthesis!
