Ryu had chosen to cultivate three Six Star cultivation techniques at once. However, each focused primarily on increasing qi density and didn't have any special abilities. Though this neutral type qi was the easiest to accumulate, with this ease came the disadvantage of being a master of none. Neutral qi could meld into any technique, but it was impossible to take a technique to its theoretical peak using neutral qi, reason being every technique had a type of qi most suitable to it.
In this case, though Death Seals could be formed without the use of death qi, the very best Death Seals could not do without it. If Ryu wanted to form one, he would have no choice but to learn to manipulate Death Qi.
Ryu sighed. 'If I knew this ahead of time, I probably wouldn't have invested so much time into reaching this place.'
