The creator of the Ghostly Shadow Steps technique is said to be a Celestial Venerable cultivator from ten thousand years ago named Duan Yu, who excelled in ranged sword attacks and footwork! Duan Yu improved upon his own Lingbo Steps, creating the Ghostly Shadow Steps. This footwork is incredibly elusive, consumes very little immortal energy, and most importantly, requires diligent practice to open the meridians in the legs, strengthen the leg muscles, and fortify the leg bones!
Lin Caogen is now an 8th-level Body Refinement cultivator. After cultivating the Vajra Indestructible Divine Technique, his overall physique has already surpassed that of an ordinary peak Body Refinement cultivator. Learning a footwork immortal technique at this point wouldn't be considered forcing his growth!
In a bamboo forest, Lin Caogen, with lead weights strapped to his legs, began training according to the methods of the Ghostly Shadow Steps technique.
His figure could be seen constantly moving through the bamboo forest, his clothes never touching the surrounding green bamboo.
As the speed of movement increases, it is inevitable that the body will lose control and knock over the green bamboo! Lin Caogen's brain works extremely fast, and he grasped the essence of this footwork in three days. However, this footwork really requires hard work and practice. It is not that you can skip hard work just because you have a high IQ!
Lin Caogen practiced his footwork in the bamboo forest from dawn till dusk every day. After a month, he finally made progress. His body moved nimbly through the bamboo forest like a dragonfly, and his clothes never touched the surrounding green bamboo!
But that wasn't enough! Lin Caogen then did weight training!
He carried 500 jin of lead weights on his back, 100 jin on his legs, and 100 jin on his arms! That's a total load of 700 jin!
Every day, he carries 700 pounds of weight as he traverses the jungle!
It has to be said that carrying so many lead weights on his back greatly affected his speed and agility!
Lin Caogen did not slack off and continued to cultivate for another three months!
Finally, even with a load of 700 pounds, he was still able to maintain the same speed as before, and his body and clothes never touched the surrounding green bamboo!
If you think that you've completed the training of Ghostly Shadow and Mystery Techniques, then you're sorely mistaken!
An ordinary person might not be able to comprehend this immortal technique even after a hundred years! Lin Caogen only managed to understand it because of his quick thinking and high comprehension ability!
However, understanding and comprehending is one thing, while practicing diligently is another!
The cultivation of this immortal technique is truly endless! That's what the original text of the immortal technique says!
Lin Caogen ordered people to hang tens of thousands of steel knives on cotton ropes in the bamboo forest!
These steel knives are of different heights and distances. You have to navigate through the bamboo forest without touching the bamboo, and you also have to dodge through the forest of knives without touching the blades!
This made things much more difficult! Another six months passed! Lin Caogen was exhausted every day, like a dead dog!
Fortunately, hard work pays off!
After 10 months of training, Lin Caogen can still move like a hummingbird through a forest of knives while carrying a 700-pound lead weight!
If you think Lin Caogen's training in Ghostly Shadows ends here, you are sorely mistaken!
Lin Caogen then ordered his men to keep an eye on 10,000 sachets in the bamboo forest!
Not only did he have to carry 700 pounds of weight through bamboo forests and knife forests, but he also had to stab 1,000 sachets with his sword within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!
Lin Caogen spent another two months practicing!
As expected, hard work pays off!
Lin Caogen finally managed to pierce 1,000 sachets within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, without touching the green bamboo steel knife even once, in such harsh conditions!
On this day, Lin Caogen summoned Mu Wanqing to meet him in the sea of flowers!
It was a lavender field, covering several kilometers in circumference, with a beautiful environment; it was indeed a great place for a romantic date!
Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, Mu Wanqing was in an exceptionally good mood!
Firstly, Lin Caogen finally finished his seclusion and cultivation, and immediately came to find him!
Secondly, this fragmented continent is approaching the Immortal Gang Continent, and in seven days it will be the closest. At that time, as long as I fly upwards with all my might and escape the gravity of the fragmented continent, I will soon be able to rush into the gravitational field of the Immortal Gang Continent! As long as I am captured by the gravity of the Immortal Gang Continent, I will not have to worry about not being able to return!
"Grassroots! The scenery here is truly beautiful! How has your cultivation been this past year?"
Lin Caogen sighed and said, "It's really too bitter and tiring! But I feel that the effect is very good! I invited my senior sister to this lavender field today. First, I wanted to get closer to her, after all, I haven't seen you for a year and I miss you very much! Second, I wanted my senior sister to help me test my cultivation results!"
Mu Wanqing felt a surge of joy and smiled, "Alright! Then I'll see how effective your year-long training in Ghost Shadow Illusion is!"
Lin Caogen and Mu Wanqing smiled at each other from two hundred meters apart!
Mu Wanqing once again unleashed the Flower-Picking Finger Technique! In the past year, with the abundant resources of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Wanqing's cultivation had broken through to the fifth level of the Core Formation stage! It must be said that having a nation as one's backer has significant advantages.
When a cultivator at the fifth level of the Core Formation stage unleashes the Flower-Picking Finger technique, its power is 30% greater than before!
A blue petal was held in Mu Wanqing's hand, and then the petal shot out like a shooting star!
Previously, when Mu Wanqing, at the fourth level of the Core Formation stage, unleashed her full power, even Lin Caogen's Golden Bell Shield couldn't withstand her Flower-Picking Finger attack. Now that Mu Wanqing's cultivation has reached the fifth level of the Core Formation stage, Lin Caogen's Golden Bell Shield has barely improved and has absolutely no chance of withstanding this attack!
Just as the blue petals were about to hit Lin Caogen's chest, Lin Caogen suddenly dodged inexplicably, leaving behind an afterimage!
Mu Wanqing exclaimed in surprise, "Such speed!"
Then she picked up a blue petal and shot it towards Lin Caogen!
However, Lin Caogen dodged the flower-plucking finger technique once again!
A lingering shadow of Lin Caogen remained in the distance!
Mu Wanqing became interested and used the Flower-Picking Finger technique ten times in a row, with ten petals attacking Lin Caogen's vital points one after another!
