Chapter 35: The Fourth Livestream Ends, Choosing the Cultivation Method—Everlife Technique!
Failed?
On the illusory screen, seeing that Lin Yu had still rejected their recruitment, Ning Fengzhi, Bibi Dong, and Dai Tianfeng couldn't help but feel disappointed.
None of them were merely eyeing the random cultivation technique Lin Yu had just received—they were truly interested in Lin Yu himself.
They believed that, with time, and leveraging the massive advantage from his first wish reward, Lin Yu would develop at a snowballing pace.
His future potential was limitless!
Whichever force could bring Lin Yu into their fold would surely achieve unprecedented greatness.
But unfortunately… Lin Yu said no.
And seeing him reject the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Spirit Hall, and the Star Luo Royal Family,
All the other factions that had been ready to speak up suddenly fell silent.
Of course, none of them gave up in their hearts.
Because they knew: a person's outlook could change countless times over time.
Perhaps Lin Yu refused them now because he lacked the ability to protect himself—he might fear that joining a faction would mean being exploited or controlled.
But in the future, once Lin Yu grew stronger, would he be open to cooperation—or even submission?
For factions like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Spirit Hall, Star Luo, and Heaven Dou empires, that was unthinkable.
But for families like the Dragon Snake Clan, or the Strength, Defense, Agility, and Breaking Clans, it wasn't impossible to accept.
[Ding! This livestream quiz has ended. The room will close in three minutes. Participants may exit at their convenience.]
[The next livestream quiz will begin in fifteen days!]
After Lin Yu rejected all the recruitment attempts and the message flow on the virtual screen faded, a line of blood-red text suddenly appeared, accompanied by the system's cold mechanical voice.
…
As the livestream ended, all participants gradually exited the room.
Although few had answered correctly,
The revelation that rewards could include cultivation techniques—or rather, top-tier meditation methods—sparked new inspiration across the continent.
Previously, many factions had built private libraries and hired scholars to memorize knowledge in hopes of answering future questions.
But aside from the second question, the rest couldn't be answered using any known literature.
Still, the pool of possible answers to each question was always limited.
So, they thought: what if they recruited enough people—ones not afraid of punishment—to try every possible answer?
Eventually, someone would get it right and claim the reward!
This wouldn't work for things like soul evolution or ten-thousand-year soul bones, since rewards like those were granted directly to the person who answered.
But for this kind of cultivation technique reward?
Knowledge could be shared.
Even if a commoner answered correctly,
As long as the reward was written down, others could learn it too.
What a brilliant plan!
And it wasn't difficult to implement—just offer enough compensation.
Surely plenty of civilians would be willing to risk the livestream's punishment for such a chance.
After the stream ended, many noble soul master factions—led by Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng from Heaven Dou City—began putting this plan into motion.
Meanwhile, in Windmill Village—
After exiting the livestream, Lin Yu began speaking with the system.
He was ready to claim his reward.
"System, based on the environment of Douluo Continent, could you recommend the most powerful and suitable cultivation technique I can currently practice?"
This time, with experience under his belt, Lin Yu didn't aim too high.
If possible, he would've chosen something like Stellar Transformation, Boundless Heaven Scripture, Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art, or Divine Elephant Suppression Force.
But unfortunately, all of those were incredibly resource-hungry or required specific physiques.
Lin Yu simply couldn't cultivate them in the Douluo world, which only supported traditional martial arts cultivation.
Among the high-tier martial arts he knew, only Demon Summoning Scripture from The Divine Tomb and Heaven Tablet Profound Method from Everlasting Life World stood out.
But the former required the Chen bloodline, and the latter was another resource black hole.
So Lin Yu could only turn to the system for guidance.
"Ding! After system analysis, the technique best suited to the current Douluo spiritual environment—and to the host—is the Everlife Technique, from the world of Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty!"
After a brief pause, the system's mechanical voice rang out.
"Everlife Technique?"
Lin Yu was surprised, but not shocked.
From the martial arts series and movies he remembered, only Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, Wind and Cloud, World's Finest, and Kung Fu reached high-level martial arts standards.
Of these, given that his martial soul was the Chaos Green Lotus, the Everlife Technique was indeed the most compatible.
"Alright! I'll choose the Everlife Technique!"
After weighing his options, Lin Yu made his decision.
As soon as he confirmed, the system transmitted a wave of information directly into his mind.
It was the complete content and method for cultivating the Everlife Technique.
…
Over the next fifteen days, Lin Yu focused on cultivating the Everlife Technique.
As one of the four legendary manuals from Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, or rather, the Huang Yi martial arts universe,
Its peak realm allowed one to shatter the void—far surpassing Tang San's Xuantian Technique.
Naturally, this also meant the method was both wondrous and difficult.
But with the system's guidance and key insights,
Lin Yu had no major issues.
According to the information provided,
The greatest obstacle in cultivating the Everlife Technique was that the user must have no previous martial arts or internal energy foundations.
But in the Huang Yi martial arts world, most people who obtained this manual weren't ordinary folks.
So this requirement stumped many.
After all, without knowing the technique's secrets,
Who would be willing to give up all their hard-earned martial arts?
But Lin Yu met the condition perfectly.
Though he had soul power, it wasn't the same as internal energy or true qi.
It was a pure, attribute-less energy that could be transformed into any kind of true qi.
Including the type generated by the Everlife Technique.
The technique was unique because it didn't follow the "refine essence into qi" route.
Instead, it directly absorbed heaven and earth's spiritual energy and refined it into one's own innate true qi.
The biggest advantage of the Everlife Technique's true qi was its rapid regeneration.
Because it drew power directly from the surrounding spiritual energy, its recovery ability was even more exaggerated than the Nine Yang Divine Skill from Jin Yong's world.
Moreover, the Everlife Technique actually had seven components: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Yin, and Yang.
Each part could be practiced independently—like an incomplete manual—yet still lead to breaking the void.
In the original Twin Dragons novel, the protagonists Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling respectively practiced Yin and Yang components by accident.
But Lin Yu had the correct method, and thus cultivated the complete version of the Everlife Technique—meaning his true qi contained all seven attributes of the five elements and Yin-Yang.
This made his true qi nearly immune to elemental counterattacks.
If Lin Yu ever battled other soul masters in the future, he would have an overwhelming advantage!
