Since Yi Yun had already made his choice of choosing two techniques, he could only have one each for the Power of Desolates sealing and the forming of relics.
Then, there were a few features the two techniques needed.
First, they had to be widely applicable, and they could not be narrowed to a single elemental energy. They had to be able to be used for all kinds of elemental energies.
Secondly, these two techniques had to be applicable for the refinement of high-grade desolate bone relics. For the current Yi Yun, low-grade desolate bone relics were no longer useful.
Finally, the two techniques could not be too complicated. If they could not be learnt in two months, then they would be useless.
Yi Yun had a good amount of understanding of the Desolate Heaven technique, so before he asked Su Jie if he could learn the Desolate Heaven technique from him, he had already thought of the techniques he wanted to learn.
“Senior Su Jie, the two techniques I want to learn are, the Mystic Crystal Hand sealing technique for the controlling of the Power of Desolates, as well as, the Small Thousand Seal for the forming of relics.”
These two techniques had met Yi Yun’s requirements.
Not only could they be used to refine high-grade desolate bone relics, they were also easy to learn and widely applicable.
Since these two techniques had such features, it meant that they weren’t some extraordinary method.
It was easy to learn the techniques, then correspondingly, the success rate of these two techniques were very low.
And since they were widely applicable, in the Desolate Heaven technique circles, it meant that they were not specialized for anything.
The Desolate Heaven technique focused on specialization. Every elemental energy had a corresponding technique. For the Mystic Crystal Hand and Small Thousand Seal, they were actually common techniques that could be easily found on the street. Any Desolate Heaven Master who had certain accomplishments in the Desolate Heaven technique would never bother to use them.
Even the young Desolate Heaven Master disciples, who had outstanding talent, would not look up to such a one size fits all approach.
Only some Desolate Heaven Masters from small family clans or small sects would haphazardly refine desolate bone relics, which would be a treasure, for the disciples of these small sects. In such a situation, their Desolate Heaven technique did not need to be great, nor did they have much talent. As such, they would choose to learn easy and low-grade techniques.
Despite hearing Yi Yun’s choice which “lacked ambition”, Su Jie found Yi Yun’s choice wise.
Everyone knew that advanced techniques were good, but so what? It was only meaningful if one could learn it. It was pointless if one could not learn it.
It was like everyone knew being a Great Emperor was good, but if anyone said they wanted to become a Great Emperor when they began learning martial arts, they would probably be thought of as crazy.
With Yi Yun’s foundation, the Mystic Crystal Hand and Small Thousand Seal would be relatively difficult for him. Even learning it would be pretty good.
However… even if Yi Yun mastered the Mystic Crystal Hand and Small Thousand Seal, there would be no hope in him joining the Desolate Heaven technique tea session.
In the tea session, everyone would show off their skills by choosing the most complicated and most difficult techniques.
If one used the Mystic Crystal Hand or Small Thousand Seal, that would cause the stomachs of others to rupture from laughing.
“Senior Su Jie, how about it? After all, you have taken me in as your in-name disciple. I’m just learning two techniques from you…”
As Yi Yun spoke, Su Jie rolled his eyes at him, “Only now do you remember that you are my in-name disciple? Forget it. I find you pitiful, so it’s nothing teaching you two sealing techniques. In the future, if you were to leave the Lin family and live on the streets, this would also be a means of livelihood, right?”
Yi Yun turned speechless hearing Su Jie say such words.
Living on the streets? It shouldn’t be that terrible even if he was forced to leave the Lin family, right…?
“Alright, I can teach you, but let me warn you in advance. Forget about the Desolate Heaven technique tea session! At that time, I’ll take you to broaden your horizons. As for showing off your techniques, don’t throw my face. I still care about my old face, and I want to mess around in the Desolate Heaven technique circles in the future.”
