In the secret chamber, Li Yuan temporarily put aside distractions and focused on memorizing the "Eighth Grade Blood Regulation" method from "Soul-Throwing Technique."
This method is an internal manipulation that doesn't show externally. However, accumulating qi and blood still requires the cultivation posture from the "Ninth Grade" level. Thus, in the maidservants' eyes, he appeared to be arduously practicing the Ninth Grade level of "Soul-Throwing Technique."
A few days ago, when he was with Yu Mao, he casually asked about how long it would take to break through to the Eighth Grade.
Yu Mao said that with a cultivation skill, resources, and talent, reaching the Ninth Grade takes about over a year. Among these, the most crucial is talent. Many people, no matter how hard they try in their lifetime, cannot cultivate into the Ninth Grade. As for what talent is, it's hard to say. One can only say that those with talent are more likely to develop Shadow Blood.
