Insufficient Points.
Yù Quán had begun his training. First, he tried deducing the [Murder Mantra], but, as he expected, he didn’t have enough points. It was a top-quality god-tier technique. Yù Quán didn’t think it could be so easy. Instead, he would just learn it for now and worry about deducing it later.
Teaching [Murder Mantra]...
Yù Quán felt a familiar wave of knowledge of information enter his mind. He meditated until he understood the process. He was excited to start, but he wanted to check on the notes on the Yellow Qilin Dance first. Yù Quán took the manual he had chosen from the cultivation library and began to read.
Yù Quán spent the next couple of days reading the manual. When he felt he had understood the ideas in the notes, he got a notification from the system.

“Yes! I knew the system could help.”

Yù Quán found it fun to see his list of arts growing. Although the techniques he got from the [Stolen-eyed Mùmùlián Body] weren’t displayed, he assumed that was because this was the deduction screen and those techniques were a part of the [Stolen-eyed Mùmùlián Body]. They would probably be deduced or leveled up when the [Stolen-eyed Mùmùlián Body] was. But there was only one way to find out, and he couldn’t quite afford that yet.
“Fwoo~ It seems the only thing I’m missing now are the points to make deductions and level things up. I can practice the [Murder Manta] and cultivate later, I should make sure I have enough points as soon as possible.”
Yù Quán got up and went to the courtyard. In the courtyard, there was a small building. Inside that building was a board with pieces of paper pinned to it. This was the mission board. He was told that this was where disciples could take on and complete missions to earn resources and contribution points. The board was full of missions because there were only two disciples before he arrived, and they were busy training for the Blossom Tournament. Yù Quán would probably be doing the same if he didn’t have an idea.
He walked up to the board and skimmed through all the missions. Few had anything to do with combat and mainly were about helping mortals around town. But, every time Yù Quán would focus on a mission, a system notification would pop up.
Mission: Help Zhou Ning transport her cargo.
Time Limit: None
Mission Reward: 1 Point
Failure Penalty: Branch Reputation

Accept?
Yù Quán grinned. “We should all be good samaritans.”
For the following week, rumors went around that the Helpful Lunatic had returned.
…
After a week, Yù Quán had completed most of the missions on the board. He had a couple hundred points and could receive many resources and contribution points if he turned in all the missions. But he didn’t need them just yet, so he would focus on his training. He was sitting in his living quarters and looking at his martial arts.
Use 55 Points to Deduce (Incomplete)[Yellow Qilin Dance] into [Yellow Qilin Dance]?
Yù Quán’s heart ached. He was spending so many points in the beginning. This only meant that he would be spending way more in the future. But he needed strength fast, so he could only swallow the pain.
Obtained [Yellow Qilin Dance].
[Yellow Qilin Dance]
Body Tempering > Foundation Laying
Mid-Quality Heaven Tier
No matter what Qilins intend to do, it is always done elegantly.
A versatile footwork that uses the same steps for different purposes, the direction being what determines it.
Note 1: Forward is fast and powerful, Strafing is quick and illusive, and backward is sturdy and firm.
Note 2: At higher levels of comprehension, the different steps and directions can be used to create complex movements.
Now, Yù Quán had the [Yellow Qilin Dance]. He found it remarkable. How many people could stop him with such a technique? From the description, it didn’t even feel like one technique but three different ones. Considering the room for improvement stated in the notes, Yù Quán couldn’t wait to learn it. However, Yù Quán noticed that this technique could only be learned when he reached the Body Tempering realm. It was unfortunate, but it made sense to Yù Quán. How could all the great things in the world be free?
Yù Quán still had a little over a hundred and fifty points left, so he decided it was time to level up some of his martial arts. He decided to wait on the [Murder Mantra] and the [Yellow Qilin Dance], as he wanted to see this difference. So, the [Stolen-eyed Mùmùlián Body] would be first.
Techniques:
[Murder Mantra](Level 1)
[Stolen-eyed Mùmùlián Body](Level 1>2)
Use 20 Points?
Yù Quán was dumbfounded. “Twenty points for one level? Is this what leveling up heaven-tier techniques will be like?”
Yù Quán’s heart hurt again. All that time spent completing missions just for him to spend it all so soon. “Two levels are worth fifty points. I’ll just do that.”
Yù Quán accepted it but didn’t feel any change. His techniques had likely improved, but he wouldn’t be able to check that without getting his hands on some eyes. He thought it might be good to go hunting or check the mission board for beast extermination missions later. He wanted to save eyes for after he formed his core. He didn’t want to add too many eyes to his body; he was already thinking of absorbing some of the eyes he had refined to his core.
That left Yù Quán with one thing to do now: cultivate. The [Murder Mantra] could be activated while cultivating, so he would kill several birds with one stone. If he could gain some more strength or even form his core, he would definitely be able to get some eyes to test his upgraded [Stolen-eyed Mùmùlián Body].
