Creating Demonic Cultivation Techniques against Non-human Races-Chapter 171: Nearly 10 Billion Sold for Blood Coagulation Technique—Huge Impact, Nationwide Cultivation, Civilization Masters’ Circle
At the same time.
This week wasn’t long, but the "Blood Coagulation Technique" had a huge impact on the entire Great Xia.
With the fundamental change in public opinion online, the apologies from Seventh and Eighth Grade Grandmaster Alchemists, Grandmasters, and some disclosures from those who successfully practiced and profited from the technique.
The "Blood Coagulation Technique" officially became a national-level cultivation technique, with sales alone amounting to tens of billions, nearly close to a hundred billion.
Even if everyone only needed 1 merit point to purchase, the massive sales volume still granted Lin Ping’an an astonishingly large number of merit points.
In fact, the role of a Civilization Master, tasked with creating new techniques, is somewhat like a web novelist.
There are superstars who become widely known for their success, and unknown individuals who remain obscure.
Some Civilization Masters create techniques that are widely acclaimed, with buyers as numerous as fish in the river, countless.
But the majority of Civilization Masters struggle arduously to create a new technique, which results in little interest and eventually fades into obscurity.
Thus, becoming a Civilization Master is not easy, and becoming one whose created technique sells is even harder, truly a rare exception.
Every year, new Star-Entering Civilization Masters emerge, full of pride and ambition.
But the result goes without saying.
They are beaten down by the harsh market and reality, some join the frontlines as Martial Artists to gather resources for a comeback, others simply become assistants to Middle Tier Civilization Masters, aiding in research and technique creation.
As for High Tier Civilization Masters, those newcomers don’t even qualify to attach themselves; even if they wanted to, those masters wouldn’t want them!
To qualify, you must be at least a Middle Tier Civilization Master.
In a way, this profession is somewhat like the academic circle of Lin Ping’an’s previous life, with similar development trends.
It has also formed cliques centered around High Tier Civilization Masters, like a Bluestar version of academic clans, thus forming the Civilization Masters’ circle.
Typically, as soon as one becomes a new Star-Entering Civilization Master, they naturally go with the flow and integrate into the circle.
However, it’s clear that during this time, Lin Ping’an has emerged as an anomaly.
As a newcomer, he hasn’t joined any research institute, nor attached to any Middle Tier or higher Civilization Master, and has run wild in the circle like a wild horse.
Moreover, he rose to prominence overnight.
By leveraging the popularity of winning the Grand Xia Talent Competition, he has already become a Civilization Master with popular selling techniques.
Afterwards, with the sales success of the first "Concealing Breath Technique," he continuously released several techniques like "Illusory Demon Nine Shadows," "Stealth Technique," and "Blood Coagulation Technique."
This experience, which is completely at odds with the entire circle, has left many failures envious and jealous, even to the point of resentment with bloodshot eyes.
Furthermore, Lin Ping’an’s pricing strategy for all four techniques at the lowest merit points of the same level also drew jealousy and hatred.
There are rules within the circle, and in their view, Lin Ping’an’s behavior is breaking the rules.
The last person to do so was a Civilization Master with the account name [Warrior of Love], but that person was able to release Earth Level Techniques.
A definite big shot.
A High Tier Civilization Master powerhouse, already the elite in this circle.
The same tier wouldn’t cause trouble casually, and Middle Tier and Lower Tier Civilization Masters wouldn’t dare provoke such a strong figure.
Thus, Lin Ping’an, who on the surface only had Fourth Grade cultivation, became the best target.
Previously, seeing the appearance of "Blood Coagulation Technique" anger the entire circle of Alchemist heavyweights and bringing a wave of feverish scolding upon it.
They immediately rushed in with excitement.
But they never expected.
The next day, the trend changed, and completely changed at that.
Alchemist Grandmasters and Grandmasters who had aggressively sought accountability all raised the white flag and surrendered.
Apologies were made, compensations were given. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
And the Great Xia Academy, absurdly, offered Ninth Level Authority, allowing the individual to freely access all stored Martial Arts knowledge in this top-tier academy.
This dramatic turn of events flabbergasted all these Civilization Masters.
It also prompted them to halt their next steps and observe for a while.
Inside a certain villa.
A dozen Civilization Masters were gathered, discussing among themselves.
The center of the topic was precisely Lin Ping’an.
"Damn, did you find anything out?"
"No!"
"Neither did I! I have no idea why! All I know is that it was all ordered by the Grandmaster Alchemists and Grandmasters."
"It’s really frustrating! Who’s backing Lin Ping’an? Such power! It even made those aloof Grandmaster Alchemists and Grandmasters relent!"
"I think there’s no one behind him; for this to happen, it’s purely because of good luck!"
"Huh? Good luck? Are you joking? Grandmasters and Grandmasters relenting and apologizing, and you say it’s good luck?"
"..."
Amid the discussion, the Civilization Master who expressed a different opinion faced collective mockery.
Faced with the scene before him, the Civilization Master remained unflustered, chuckled, and spoke once more confidently.
"Alright, you idiots, shut your mouths!"
"Now listen to my analysis, and then decide your own views."
"First, the initial point is that Lin Ping’an’s identity and background indicate there’s no one powerful behind him. His parents were ordinary people who have passed away, and he’s basically an orphan, with the Great Xia Academy as his only backing."
"Next, the second point is his swift cultivation speed; he reached Fourth Grade in his freshman year, and his combat power is extremely strong, having defeated all the academy’s talented students."
"Then, the third point, he created the Yellow Level Technique ’Concealing Breath Technique’ in high school, earned a special admission spot but still chose to take the college entrance exams, achieving the twin honors of top in both arts and sciences, later releasing two Profound-level techniques, and this ’Blood Coagulation Technique’ causing a sensation."
"By piecing together all this information, what have you discerned?"
Upon hearing this, the other Civilization Masters fell into contemplation, vaguely feeling they had grasped something from these words.
On the other side, that Civilization Master laughed loudly and, without waiting for others to figure it out, proactively provided the answer.
"Such a conspicuous background, with exceptional Martial Arts and Civilization Master aptitude, naturally draws people to promote him, elevating him."
"It’s obvious that the ones who could make those Alchemist Grandmasters and Grandmasters yield, who else could it be besides those three powerhouses?"
Upon hearing these words, the others had an epiphany and immediately made sense of everything!
"Goodness! It’s all about promotion! That’s it! Those three powerhouses really planned it well!"
"They’re disregarding various circles, preparing for major actions!"
"Sigh! Truly, wasn’t it fine as it was before? These big shots just have to stir things up unnecessarily, what a mess!"
"Hush... Quiet... Mind your words... Those big shots are formidable; watch your words."
"..."
Suddenly, everyone’s expressions changed, shifting rapidly.
Only after a long while did someone speak, breaking the silence.
"So what should we do next? Should we continue targeting him?"
Upon hearing this, several others chimed in agreement.
"Yeah! If there are big players watching from above, disturbing their plans... it might be courting disaster for ourselves!"
"I say, out of sight, out of mind, just pretend we don’t know anything!"
"..."
