A Simple Name
Re-cultivating with a new technique wasn't a huge deal, though it was a bit troublesome. Ryu was someone who had cultivated three techniques all at once even right up until this moment, there was no limit on such things. It was all dependent on your abilities.
Reforming your foundations was a bit difficult, but so long as you had the talent and the qi control, doing this wasn't a huge trouble. There were many examples of experts who had switched between cultivation techniques more than once in their lives.
Of course, this wasn't to say that there was no danger in doing this at all. And, this was especially the case with cultivation techniques of the True Martial World, and even more so for those that carried a hint of Dao Charm to them.
