Creating Demonic Cultivation Techniques against Non-human Races-Chapter 340: Civilization Master Ideology Clash—All the Bustle Is for Profit
Turning around, he communicated with the Martial Arts Association and once again issued a series of bounty tasks.
It was still about acquiring exotic beast corpses, but this time, Lin Ping’an did not recklessly purchase all types as before.
Instead, he selectively placed bounties, only for the types of exotic beasts that he needed.
As he continued to absorb and draw, certain types of exotic beasts no longer provided any help to Lin Ping’an.
At this moment, he naturally wouldn’t waste Merit Points on them.
Although he didn’t care about these easily obtainable things, he understood the principle of maximizing benefits and spending Merit Points wisely.
At the same time, in the Civilization Master Association, some people looked at the information on the Celestial Dao Network and were also emotionally compromised.
"Damn! He... he... he actually sold a Profound-level Technique at such a high price! This is... it’s simply disrupting the market!"
"Yeah! How infuriating! Such a mere Profound-level Technique is more expensive than the Earth Level Technique I created! And it doesn’t even enhance a martial artist’s combat power, such unorthodox techniques, it’s heretical!"
"It’s just too absurd. How dare he... how dare he sell such a technique at such a high price?"
"..."
Sometimes, the world is just like this.
If you’re too strong, others will secretly exclude you. As long as you’re different, others will think of suppressing and eliminating you.
Only when everyone is the same and at the same level can superficial peace be maintained.
So, when Lin Ping’an adjusted the prices of the techniques to the lowest before releasing them, some Civilization Masters were unhappy, reprimanded, angry...
But when he released the techniques and raised the prices, the same group of Civilization Masters, or potentially different ones, were still dissatisfied, reprimanding, angry, and criticizing...
Of course, those Civilization Masters who dared to express themselves like this were all Middle-Low Tier.
After all, their level wasn’t enough, their understanding was shallow, and they fundamentally had no idea of Lin Ping’an’s terrifying nature, fully displaying the fearless spirit of the ignorant.
As for those true bigshots among the Civilization Masters, or rather the High Tier Civilization Masters, they had already directly or indirectly understood a glimpse of Lin Ping’an’s capabilities.
They deeply understood his terrifying nature and knew from the bottom of their hearts that he was someone they could not afford to offend.
When you are one or two levels ahead, some people will choose to be envious, but when the gap becomes insurmountable, those in the know can only kneel and submit. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Whether they truly accept it or not is another matter, but their mouths will certainly express submission.
As time passed, on the Celestial Dao Network, someone compared the Profound-level Technique "Hypnosis Palm" with the Celestial Level Technique "Blood Escape Scripture".
After all, the two techniques were released around the same time and both were sold at absurdly high prices for their levels.
Moreover, in the past, when the "Warrior of Love" and "Pingping’an’an" released techniques, people often compared the two together.
Thus began a heated debate within the Civilization Master circle, and even across the entire Great Xia.
"Really laughable! Such esteemed bigshots in the Civilization Master community, rushing to ride on the coattails of juniors, have they no shame?"
"Exactly! Instead of thinking about how to create better and more excellent new techniques, they’ve resorted to unorthodox tactics, it’s truly a disgrace!"
"You two up there, don’t be backbiting! The ’Warrior of Love’ is a High Tier Civilization Master, and if you aren’t careful and anger him, he’ll scatter your ashes."
"Laughable! I’m so scared! Why not let him go cause trouble for Lord Lin, any technique created and released by the ’Warrior of Love’ can’t compare to Lord Lin’s, that’s an indisputable fact."
"I agree! What level is the ’Warrior of Love’, to be selling techniques at the same high price as Talent Lin? Does he deserve it?"
"No argument! ’Hypnosis Palm’ is nothing but trash compared to the ’Blood Escape Scripture’!"
"+1, it’s merely an unorthodox creation path. Compared with the comprehensive and powerful King’s Path Technique like ’Blood Escape Scripture’, it doesn’t even measure up."
"..."
The main instigators of this fierce argument came from the community of Civilization Masters, typically perceived as high and unattainable by the general public.
The account "Warrior of Love," although shrouded in mystery and never revealing themselves, has gained considerable influence with the release of unconventional and unorthodox techniques.
This has led many other Civilization Masters to admire and emulate them, thereby embarking on different creative paths.
This time, for Lin Ping’an, it was just a matter of casually releasing two new techniques on his alias account and his public account.
But in the eyes of some Civilization Masters, it was seen as a significant opportunity.
For example, the mainstream Civilization Masters, seeing that Lin Ping’an’s newly created Celestial Level Technique "Blood Escape Scripture" was a typical mainstream technique, were overjoyed, thinking they could use it to attack the newly emergent heretical technique community.
Meanwhile, those Civilization Masters researching non-mainstream paths felt the massive sales of the Profound-level Technique "Hypnosis Palm" also indicated that there was great potential in creating non-mainstream techniques.
This time, apart from the overt debate, hidden beneath it was an ideological conflict between Civilization Masters.
The orthodox King’s Path community of Civilization Masters, which can be called the Old Guard, believed that creating techniques should adhere to extensions and enhancements in different directions like attacking, cultivation, defense, and speed, without being muddled with useless things.
The emerging or rather resurgent new circle of Civilization Masters, referred to as the Reformist Faction, believed that aside from orthodoxy, creating techniques also requires innovation.
Instead of having one dominant path, let a hundred flowers bloom; we shouldn’t be stuck with past rules. We must dare to create and explore, pursuing more variations and seeking unknown paths.
Of course, deeper beneath ideology, there are also hidden interests and disputes.
The Old Guard controls the vast majority of power within the Civilization Master community, including pricing, resources, and knowledge, among other things...
If the Reformist Faction grows, they will seize a portion. The pie is only so big; if others eat more, you’ll have to eat less.
Faced with diminishing interests, or confronted with imminent benefit, neither the Old Guard nor the Reformist Faction intend to yield.
Furthermore, the ideology of Great Xia Martial Artists has always been about contention, and it is no different at this moment.
Currently, the Great Xia government suppresses all kinds of devils and monsters, and its prohibitions are as unreachable as ever.
Martial conflict is out of the question, leaving only intellectual debates. The battle over ideologies is a battle of arguments.
In this manner, amidst all the rhetorical attacks on the Celestial Dao Network, the comparison and debate over the "Hypnosis Palm" and "Blood Escape Scripture" continue unceasingly.
It’s merely a superficial coating or perhaps a facade for a more profound issue.
Using terms like a shield or cover is nothing if not apt.
On the Celestial Dao Network, because of this rare and spectacular scene, countless people were ready with their small stools, sitting on the sidelines snacking and gloatingly watching the drama unfold.
