Changing cultivation techniques is not uncommon on the Dou Qi Continent.
In fact, it's incredibly widespread.
The benefits of a higher-grade cultivation technique that is more suitable for oneself are foreseeable.
It can accelerate your cultivation speed, enhance your combat power, and even raise your potential ceiling.
At the same time, there is another important factor.
That is, when switching to a higher-grade cultivation technique, the cultivator's current realm will only fluctuate slightly, with minimal impact.
The only thing to be mindful of is that after switching, one must adapt to the new cultivation technique as quickly as possible!
Because the operational route and cultivation method of the new technique are no longer the same as before, after switching, one needs to change their original cultivation habits and Dou Qi circulation route. If it is difficult to adapt, it is possible for strength to stagnate in the short term, or even decrease due to unfamiliarity with the new technique and the lingering influence of the old one!
But overall, as long as the cultivator is not impatient and proceeds steadily, there won't be much of a problem.
As for switching to a lower-grade cultivation technique...
Let's not even talk about it.
Anyone with a slightly normal brain wouldn't make such a foolish choice.
Unless, they could obtain a special cultivation technique with great potential like the Burning Art, only then would they consider it.
When Chen Xiao was in the Xiao Family in Wu Tan City, he had privately discussed this matter with Xun Er, and the points to be aware of were already clear in his heart.
Therefore, at this moment, when switching to the Ice Hell Scripture, although he was extremely looking forward to the effects of a Heaven-grade cultivation technique, he dared not be in the slightest hurry. Like someone who had just advanced to Dou Zhe, he slowly mobilized the Dou Qi within his body, gradually circulating it according to the cultivation route of the Ice Hell Scripture.
Just one cycle of circulation took the time of six or seven cycles from before.
Fortunately, caution prevents major mistakes.
Under Chen Xiao's careful progression, a completely new Dou Qi circulation trajectory finally appeared within his body.
Not rushing to celebrate, Chen Xiao cast aside all distracting thoughts and continued to slowly circulate his Dou Qi to adapt to the new cultivation technique faster.
And this process, Chen Xiao continued for a full two days.
It wasn't until the day to go to the Inner Academy arrived that he pushed open the door and walked out.
...
Outside Vice Principal Hu Qian's study, on the open ground below.
As the morning sun just rose, thirty to forty young men and women had already gathered here.
They were gathered in groups of three or five, and each person's face was filled with anticipation and excitement.
Today, they would officially head to the Inner Academy, to cultivate in the true core of Jia Nan Academy!
Chen Xiao arrived neither early nor late, yet his arrival caused the noisy open ground to quiet down for a moment. Some people enthusiastically greeted him, while more stood in place, silently observing.
The people present here were like a select "rocket class" carefully chosen by a school. Although they were all outstanding among their peers, there was still a gap when compared.
Invisibly, there seemed to be a generation gap.
Chen Xiao didn't care about the thoughts of these people. He returned a smile to those who greeted him and then came over to wait with Cao Hui and the others. Only with these few people was he somewhat familiar.
"Why haven't I seen Fu Tong?"
Not seeing the clear-faced girl, Chen Xiao casually asked.
"Not here yet. She's like you, she chose that one. She's probably also busy adapting to the new stuff these past two days," Cao Hui replied in a low voice.
Due to the warning from the Thousand-Hundred Elders, he spoke rather vaguely.
One could only say that those who understood, understood.
Those who didn't know had no idea what they were talking about.
Chen Xiao nodded slightly, not asking any more questions, and chatted idly with the three.
About another quarter of an hour passed, and the last few students who had obtained spots, including Fu Tong, arrived late.
All fifty-one people were present.
Immediately after, the study door on the high ground was pushed open, and Vice Principal Hu Qian and three elders slowly walked out.
And seeing their appearance, the whispering on the entire open ground instantly ceased.
Hu Qian's gaze swept over the fifty-one students on the open ground. He nodded with satisfaction, stepped forward, and chuckled.
"I heard your noise half an hour ago. It seems everyone is quite eager to go to the Inner Academy."
"Since that's the case, I won't say any more nonsense. The Inner Academy is the true core of Jia Nan Academy. After you go in, you will naturally be able to understand it slowly."
"However, due to its confidentiality, most mentors, and even some elders, are not clear about the specific location of the Inner Academy. Therefore, I will send you to a place, and when you get there, someone will take good care of you."
"Alright, that's all. The Gryphons have also arrived. Everyone, prepare to depart."
As Hu Qian's words fell, everyone noticed a large shadow cast down.
The students immediately looked up and saw ten huge Gryphons flying towards them from the blue sky in the east.
Most of the people present were not unfamiliar with this type of Magical Beast. They had already ridden them when they enrolled.
Some of them had even made fools of themselves because of it.
Soon, ten Gryphons landed steadily on the wide open space, stirring up gusts of wind. Fortunately, those who could stand there were the cream of the crop from the Outer Academy, so no one was blown over.
Hu Qian said, "Five or six people per group is fine. The top five will be in a separate group."
Hearing this, the students no longer hesitated and quickly moved to board the Gryphons.
"Alright, let's go!"
Following Hu Qian's command, the ten Gryphons took to the air, flapping their wings and soaring towards the seemingly endless Back Mountain of the academy.
Hu Qian and the three Elders also unfurled their Dou Qi wings and ascended into the sky. With a sudden acceleration, they formed a four-cornered formation, surrounding the entire Gryphon fleet.
As the Gryphon team went deeper, many students curiously looked down at the lush green forest below, as if searching for the location of the Inner Academy.
However, as the ten Gryphons flew deeper and deeper, they didn't see any sign of the Inner Academy. Instead, they discovered some fierce Magical Beasts erupting from the mountains, and some unintelligent flying Magical Beasts even charged directly at the Gryphon team, launching attacks without hesitation.
Seeing this, Hu Qian and the three Elders all took action. With each burst of Dou Qi, a cloud of blood mist would explode in the sky.
Just like that, the four powerhouses protected the Gryphon team tightly and effortlessly.
They flew all the way, accompanied by blood mist.
Countless flying Magical Beasts attacked, but not a single one was able to threaten the Gryphon team.
The strength of Dou Huang powerhouses was terrifying!
This kind of almost brutal slaughter lasted for over an hour before the Gryphon team's flying speed finally began to slow down.
Have they arrived?
The students looked around, but were confused to find that other than a bottomless ravine below, the rest of the area was still an endless expanse of green.
Noticing their confusion, Hu Qian didn't explain, but simply waved his hand.
"Descend!"
