Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1453 - 9: Breakthrough (Part 2)

Zhao Xing lazily said, "It's not really a secret. The founder was a Tao Domain Realm cultivator who copied the 'Glazed Glass Technique' of the Void Ancestor Golden Body, modified it a bit, and used it to scam money from the various ancient countries."

"Later, the ancient countries accused him of infringing on the copyrights of the Void Ancestor Golden Body, so they locked him up."

"However, this Tao Domain Realm martial artist then created the 'Treasure Mountain Skill' in the Star Prison, atoned for his crime, and was released early, successfully clearing his name."

Chen Shijie was a bit speechless, thinking that it's a bit much for a powerful Tao Domain Realm to be hustling like this.

Not only did he not entirely scam, but he also managed to create a magic technique later recognized by the nations despite being caught.

Yuan Sishiliu surprisingly asked, "This secret is blocked from all countries' databases; how did you know?"

Zhao Xing smiled and said nothing.

Yuan Sishiliu suddenly realized, "Your teacher is truly knowledgeable and talented."

...

Chen Shijie didn't want to practice physical mastery methods, but Zhao Xing still bought the "Treasure Mountain Skill."

Because Qiu Yuanshan and Mi Fei both found it interesting. They had changed their thoughts since discovering the universe was full of crises, making survival difficult.

Surviving is the prerequisite for discussing anything else!

Apparently, this Treasure Mountain Skill could increase the chance of survival!

Zhao Xing bought it since it only cost five hundred thousand for one copy and he was also interested in a certain divine skill within the "Treasure Mountain Skill." Besides, it was related to a plot quest:

The founder of the "Treasure Mountain Skill" was caught again for hustling and was imprisoned.

If you can rescue him, you'll receive a great divine power technique—the "Five-Finger Mountain"!

Zhao Xing thought that perhaps he could give it a try someday.

Mi Fei, Qiu Yuanshan, and himself—that was three copies, a three-person group purchase at a 10% discount, bringing the total to 1.35 million.

Chen Shijie ultimately selected a cultivation technique called the "Thirty-Six Star Sky Underground Palace," valued at 450,000.

Finally, it was only left to select techniques from the Self Sect.

Half a year later, Liu Tianning had to undergo the Skywalker Continent trial, so mainly they were choosing for him.

"Yuan Sishiliu, help me select a few Self Sect Minister of Agriculture techniques, priced over a million." Zhao Xing said.

Liu Tianning said, "Zhao Xing, we've already overspent by a lot."

Originally, they had planned to spend one to two million, but they had already spent 7.38 million.

This didn't include Extreme Land because Zhao Xing paid for that out of his own pocket without using Great Zhou's public funds.

"It's fine; I'll pay for the Self Sect techniques myself." Zhao Xing said.

Lao Liu was about to embark on a journey, and the Skywalker Continent wasn't exactly safe.

Liu Tianning was skilled in the Self Sect, but the Purple Moon Mansion Master was part of the Heavenly Time Sect's agriculture.

Even with Self Sect's techniques and methods, Liu Tianning was still an external member and would need to purchase them regardless.

Normally, Ascension Realm external members were record disciples with no teacher or backing, unable to afford good techniques.

If a genius practices common popular items, they will eventually become mediocre.

"There aren't many Self Sect techniques over a million." Yuan Sishiliu waved his hand, and the list on the screen dramatically decreased.

Zhao Xing counted and found that compared to the other two sects, the number of Self Sect techniques was less than one ten-thousandth.

"Filter out non-combat techniques as well." Zhao Xing said.

"Yes." Yuan Sishiliu waved again, further reducing the number.

The breakthrough methods for the Primordial Birth Stage, selling for over a million Yuanhai Coins, were quite rare and truly scarce.

"Why do most of these techniques only have the first layer?" Mi Fei curiously asked.

"Because subsequent techniques require joining the corresponding forces to learn." Yuan Sishiliu replied.

Self Sect techniques and methods were rare items because they involved cultivation and economic lifelines.

The Self Sect's techniques pointed directly to the Life Dao; even when sold, only the first and second layers are available.

This means without joining a force, a loose cultivator could learn at most to the second layer, corresponding to the Second Origin Realm.

Any rootless loose cultivator learning profound techniques could disrupt the life structures of those sealed seeds, posing a significant impact on the market.

Without joining a force, it's quite difficult to capture them.

Among the Three Sects' techniques, the Self Sect's techniques are the most strictly controlled!

"Let's choose the first layer of the 'Primordial Sea Realm'." After some selection, Zhao Xing finally decided to purchase "Primordial Sea Realm."

"Primordial Sea Realm" was created by a member of the Yuanhai Royal Family, and it cultivated Pure Essence Soil.

Most techniques break through from the outside in, like the "Treasure Mountain Skill," but Self Sect techniques work inside out, transforming the origin by leading the body through Inner Heaven and Earth.

"You have a really good eye, 'Primordial Sea Realm's path is simple, as long as you build the Inner Heaven and Earth framework according to the first layer, subsequent cultivation is smooth sailing without bottlenecks."

Yuan Sishiliu was truly full of emotional value, always complimenting the selection.

Liu Tianning looked carefully at the technique description, wordless.

Because Zhao Xing picked a very expensive technique for him. While "Primordial Sea Realm" truly has no bottlenecks, once the foundational Inner Heaven and Earth of the first layer is established, it's just a matter of consuming and consuming.

But this doesn't mean ordinary 'eating,' rather letting the Inner Heaven and Earth consume Five Element Spiritual Energy substances.

Yet, the resources it required were immense; the royal family developed this technique for the relatively lazy, who couldn't endure hard cultivation but were wealthy royal family offsprings to use.

It could skip the boring and tedious cultivation stages, with the only downside being its costly nature.
