“It is a snatching technique. It snatches one’s vital Qi.”
Jiang Ming recalled the records on the animal skin.
This was a ruthless and overbearing auxiliary cultivation technique. The user could seize the vital Qi of others. Once a martial artist ran out of vital Qi, they would not be far from death.
After snatching this vital Qi, one could refine it into their own vitality and integrate it into their body. Which would greatly increase one’s cultivation speed.
In fact, if they continued to use the Vitality-Snatching Technique to assist their cultivation, they would no longer have any bottlenecks in martial arts and would be able to become a Grandmaster.
In addition, the stronger the target of the Vitality-Snatching Technique, the more profound the vital Qi would be seized, and the faster the cultivation speed of the user would be.
Even people with inferior aptitudes could become martial artists in a short time if they could use this technique.
“However, although the Vitality-Snatching Technique can increase a martial artist’s cultivation speed, it is too overbearing. Hence, it has a fatal flaw. Every time it is used, it will shave ten days off the user’s lifespan! When cultivating, one must use the corresponding secret medicine to reduce the impact to three days! This is why it’s a forbidden technique.”
Jiang Ming understood. No wonder Shi Jintai looked much older than he was.
It was because he used this technique too many times.
If he were to perform the Vitality-Snatching Technique once a day, he would lose three days of his life every day. If he practiced it for one year, he would lose three years of his life. Thus, practicing it for ten years led him to reduce his lifespan by forty years!
“I don’t think anyone can use this thing to train to the Grandmaster level. Even becoming a Dao Master is impossible. However, I can take it!” Jiang Ming smiled. These forbidden techniques were simply tailor-made for him.
“It’s just that I didn’t find the corresponding prescription for the secret medicine that reduces the technique’s impact.”
Jiang Ming frowned and suddenly thought of the Shi family, “The Shi family rose with the help of the Liang family in the capital. Could it be that the Liang family had given this technique to the Shi family, but the prescription of the secret medicine remained in the hands of the Liang family? Is it a method to control the Shi family?”
He nodded to himself. If that were the case, it would make sense. It seemed that the six great families of the capital were indeed something else.
“I wonder what other good things the six great families have hidden. When I become a Grandmaster, I’ll definitely go and take a look!” Jiang Ming thought to himself.
If there was really a secret to immortality in the country of Yan, it was probably in the hands of these aristocratic families.
“Next, I’ll try this Vitality-Snatching Technique and see if it’s the same as what I’m thinking!”
According to the animal skin, the Vitality-Snatching Technique was only an auxiliary cultivation technique, and it still required the use of martial arts.
What Jiang Ming was practicing now was the Leather Tiger Bone Technique. He also had a first-class technique—the Flowing Cloud Technique, which he had studied for a long time.
However, the main problem now was whether he could use the Vitality-Snatching Technique!
Of course, it was unrealistic to slaughter other martial artists and seize their vital Qi. Moreover, it was unstable and more likely to cause trouble. What Jiang Ming wanted to find was a way for sustainable development.
His eyes flickered as he recalled the Vitality-Snatching Technique several times in his mind. After making sure that there were no mistakes, he took a deep breath and began to activate his blood Qi to operate the Vitality-Snatching Technique.
Traces of strange red light condensed between Jiang Ming’s fingers and palms. Then, it shook and dissipated.
Jiang Ming was not discouraged and tried again. After all, this was a forbidden technique, and it was impossible to successfully cast it easily.
* * *
Three days later, Jiang Ming’s eyes were calm as he slowly activated his blood Qi. Threads of red light gathered and finally formed a red halo in the palm of his hand. It seemed to be spinning faintly and exuded a strange power.
“It’s finally done.” Jiang Ming was overjoyed and began to use the Vitality-Snatching Technique without hesitation.
He smacked his own chest with a bang!
After studying the Vitality-Snatching Technique a few times, Jiang Ming found a loophole. This technique said that it could be used on others, but it did not say that it could not be used on himself.
“No one uses it on themselves because no one would dare. It would be suicidal to do so.”
However, these restrictions were not applicable to Jiang Ming! He was immortal!
However, Jiang Ming was also a little nervous about whether this method would work or not. After all, it was only a theory and had not been put into practice yet.
With the use of the Vitality-Snatching Technique, Jiang Ming suddenly felt as if something was taken out of his body. His vision turned black, and he fell to the ground.
However, at the same time, he felt a pure and powerful force slowly flowing into his palm. Then, in an instant, it seeped into his limbs and bones, disappearing within.
Immediately after that, Jiang Ming felt an indestructible force blooming in his mind. The vital Qi that was taken away from him was instantly replenished and restored to its original state.
“It’s really good!” Jiang Ming’s eyes were filled with excitement.
He could not wait and immediately began to practice the internal breathing technique of the Leather Tiger Bone Technique.
Wisps of blood Qi quickly integrated into his veins. At a speed that stunned Jiang Ming, it began to temper the veins.
It was incredibly fast!
Jiang Ming focused his mind and took advantage of the vital Qi to refine his meridians.
After practicing for six hours, the feeling of rapid progress slowly disappeared.
What would normally take him half a month to do, he had done in six hours!
Jiang Ming was greatly shocked.
Without any hesitation, he gave himself another blow of the Vitality-Snatching Technique!
