This is a term used to classify the variety of ways for Cultivators to train their soul force. There are many different styles and types. It is important for a demon spiritualist to carefully choose a cultivation technique that matches their soul realm form and attribute, making the training more effective.[1]
A cultivation techniques include both martial arts and a meditation with chants. The meditation is used to absorb the energy from heaven and earth, known as qi (more info), and move it through the bodies meridians (more info) in order to strengthen their soul realms.[2] Even with just a little cultivation the body is greatly strengthened, allowing it to go without sleep for several days.[3] It also allows practitioners to develop an almost perfect memory.[4]
After reaching the first stage of soul force practice, the soul realm begins to strengthen and surge.[2]

Unlike Cultivation Techniques, where a person only uses one, an individual might use many different special techniques. Many of these are considered forbidden techniques and are only used as a last resort.
