Essence ofWuxia (Update)

This ugly brown pill tastes like moldy rice crackers. By eating this, you receive the following abilities:

• You become compatible with any Wuxia power system, from old Chinese novels to modern Manhwa. Beside this, you have the greatest amount of talent possible with these systems, being capable of using any kind of technique. Your body is also perfectly suited to any martial art, devoid of any impurity or flaws.

• You can even do Wuxia-protagonist-like things such as recreating a technique just by seeing slashes in a wall, or imitating footwork by seeing footprints.

• Your talent is such that in a single attempt you can master a technique to a level greater than your average genius would if they spent a lifetime training. Even after that, you will continue developing your skills through each use at a visible rate.

• You are completely immune to things such as Qi Deviation, or Heart Demons. You can deactivate this if you want, maybe to train certain techniques or methods, but in this case you can make it so that they will not hurt you in the long term.

• You can cultivate more than one kind of energy. You can practice the Demonic Arts and Orthodox Methods at the same time without dying, and you can practice female arts as a male, and vice versa. You can freely choose how your aura is detected, being able to hide portions of it at will.

• Optionally, you might have the ability to passively cultivate. You will always gather energy as if you were actively meditating. When you actively cultivate your speed will actually be increased to the fourth power. You can control this, activating or deactivating it at will.

• You are the perfect fighter. Your instincts and reflexes are out of this world, as it is your intuition and judgment, almost to the level of being a Thinker power. You possess flawless control over your body, always acting at the peak of your skill no matter the situation. Your decision making is also flawless, as if you had all the time in the world to ponder your next action while having all available information at hand.

• You have an incredible talent for blacksmithing. Just by practicing for a few months would be enough for you to start creating weapons on the same level as legendary figures such as Gan Jiang, and Ou Yezi. You also have unnatural luck when it comes to finding materials for your smithing.

• You have similar talent in creating elixirs and finding magical herbs. Just by eating an elixir once, you can get accurate information on how to create it and even how to improve it. Creating your own will need research and actual knowledge, though. This also works for poisons.

• You are a perfect teacher. You masterfully grasp your students' habits, and know how to best teach them. As long as you're teaching, you could make the most average farmer ever grow into the same rate as a Heaven's Chosen genius. And if they were already geniuses they can basically instantly grasp anything you teach. You can even perfectly teach techniques you don't practice yourself.

• You have peerless memory when it comes to martial arts. You can perfectly recall everything in a martial arts manual just from skimming through it, and even memorize the motions of martial arts you have seen being used.

• You are a master in creating martial arts and breathing methods. You can create new ones by researching, even or mixing the best parts of ones that you have read about before. You are likewise skilled in recreating martial arts you have seen just by seeing once, and breathing methods just by observing its user for a few minutes. Depending on the technique, you can even massively improve it upon just seeing it once (As long as there are still things to improve).

• Optionally, you might have a mental archive of all Wuxia-based techniques (Even the ones that are just based on Wuxia but exist in non-Wuxia stories) in existence. You can freely convert them from one system to another.

• You can perfectly simulate anyone you have ever seen fighting, the recreation will use even techniques you didn't know about (They can't do anything besides fighting you, so you can't have them teaching you their techniques). You can empower these simulations to any power level you want, and even give them other techniques you know, or the techniques of other people you have simulated. You can do this simulation while you are sleeping too, if you want to.

• You have an almost preternatural ability of expunging poisons from your body. It will take only half a second for you to completely rid yourself from even the most lethal of poisons, even if you already spent all of your energy. You are physically incapable of being killed by poisons, and they can't permanently harm you either.

• Optionally, you might have one or more Bloodline or Physique of your own. It can be an existing one like the Thousand Poison Body or the Heaven Slaughter Star, or something you made up. Whatever the case, you have perfect control over it, and won't feel any downsides a person normally would have from it.

• You have the protagonist's luck. Fate will constantly lead you to good opportunities. Maybe you'll find old monsters willing to help you, jade beauties (or any kind of beauties) of either gender depending on which you prefer, legendary elixirs that only appear once in a lot of years, or even generally helpful people that will solve the problem you have at hand.

• You have a magnetic presence. You can easily befriend or romance people, even if they completely loathe you at the start. Even the worst of your enemies can't help but at least respect you.

• Optionally, you might have one or more "Cheats" of your own: It can be basically anything you would expect to see in some shitty Murim Manhwa: Memories of a failed loop, a System, an Artificial Intelligence lodged into your head, etc.

• You can insert yourself into any Wuxia setting, even then ones that don't exist. You can also insert yourself into non-Wuxia settings by using this, but they will inevitably acquire Wuxia Elements. Yes, you can use this to become The Protagonist, even in weird situations (For example: Hijacking the body of someone who just had their body hijacked by the protagonist, and retaining all of their knowledge and powers).

• You can choose to become part of any family/sect. The way this happens is up to you. You can also start already knowing all the techniques from that family/sect, even ones lost to time.

• If you die in a Wuxia setting, you can time-travel/reincarnate. You can send your soul to your own body in the past, or even send your soul to the body of some kid that meets your criteria in the future. Usually, you will possess a younger self about one planck time (= 5.39 x 10 ⁴⁴ seconds) before you originally possessed it, but ⁻.

• You can customize how this works exactly as you would like when you get the Essence, even making it a physical time travel instead of possession-style if you want.
