Born with immortal seed

Chapter 496 Cultivation Techniques and Formations

Pei Lan'er composed herself, activated the restriction, and countless bookshelves began to swirl around her.

This Ten Thousand Scrolls House is, in a sense, a special magic weapon crafted by Master Qi Xuan.

Once the number of collected texts inside reaches a sufficient quantity and meets the quality requirements, it will be upgraded to a spiritual treasure.

This method of refining treasures was precisely what Master Qixuan obtained from the Langhuan Cave Heaven.

Unfortunately, after hundreds of years, it still hasn't been achieved.

Three streams of light fell into Pei Lan'er's hands, and with another wave of her hand, the bookshelves returned to their original positions.

"Senior, please take a look. These three techniques are the highest-level techniques in the Myriad Scrolls House. I wonder if they are worthy of your attention, True Lord."

Pei Lan'er turned sideways, her figure undulating, and presented the three jade slips.

At the same time, he was also secretly observing the True Lord in front of him out of the corner of his eye. He was wearing a water-colored robe, and his hair was simply tied up with a hairpin. His face was handsome and otherworldly.

I really don't understand why someone with such an auspicious face would have no future.

She had only ever seen this on the faces of people who were dying.

But to say that this Nascent Soul True Monarch would perish immediately is simply illogical, as there is no trace of death on his face.

Pei Lan'er was starting to doubt her own face-reading skills, thinking it was due to a lack of proper training.

"The Three True Scriptures are missing the last two volumes, making them incomplete. They can only be cultivated up to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm... The original version allows one to develop the great supernatural power of creating an external avatar when cultivated to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but the incomplete version naturally lacks this ability."

"The Ten Directions Great Vajra Technique is a body cultivation method that does not cultivate spiritual power but focuses on physical cultivation... It can also be cultivated to the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage, achieving the Vajra Dharma Form and possessing ten great supernatural powers. Most of these supernatural powers are designed for combat and killing, so the combat strength of this technique will not be weak, and the demand for cultivation resources will be much lower than that of normal cultivators."

"The Devouring Sun Technique can be cultivated up to the mid-Nascent Soul stage. However, the technique has obvious flaws. The founder was clearly too ambitious, wanting to create an unparalleled technique. As a result, he took too big a step, and when he reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage, the technique backfired, and he was burned into a ball of fire, dying and disappearing."

Bai Zichen looked at the three jade slips, his face showing undisguised disappointment: "With such a great reputation as the Myriad Scrolls House, all you have are these three high-level cultivation techniques?"

The cultivation techniques that stop at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm are on par with the Fire Dragon Returning to Origin Scripture and can be ignored.

The remaining Sun Devouring Technique is indeed a fire-based cultivation method, but it can only be cultivated up to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, which is not much different. If you change cultivation methods at that time, it will be a troublesome matter.

Secondly, even the founder of this technique failed to master it, so after changing the technique himself, he would have to put in a lot of effort to improve the Sun Devouring Technique first.

“Please forgive me, True Lord, these three cultivation techniques are all that the Myriad Scrolls House has. The remaining high-level cultivation techniques are only held by my family master and are rarely exchanged with others.”

Pei Lan'er turned pale and quickly began to explain.

"Senior, cultivation techniques that lead to the Nascent Soul stage are basically closely guarded secrets of major powers. Even higher-level techniques are rarely sold, even if they are not useful to most people. When a suitable disciple comes along, a cultivation technique might be the key to his success."

Geng Shaobai, standing below, said the same thing.

"What is the price of the Three True Scriptures and the Ten Directions Great Vajra Technique?"

Bai Zichen then realized that he had misunderstood the circulation of cultivation techniques on the market. Even cultivation techniques that lead directly to the Nascent Soul stage are so rare, so it's unlikely that he could possibly find a cultivation technique that leads to the Divine Transformation stage on the market.

He was the first to abandon the Devouring Sun Technique, but he still had some interest in the other two techniques.

Even if they have no value for cultivation, bringing them back to Black Mountain would give the sect two more Nascent Soul cultivation techniques.

This is a major breakthrough for the Qingfeng Sect, giving its disciples a much wider range of career options in the future.

"Since True Lord is a distinguished guest of the Celestial Phoenix in the Immortal City, after enjoying all the great discounts of the Myriad Scrolls House, you can get an even lower price... The Three True Scriptures are priced at seventy high-grade spirit stones, and the Ten Directions Great Vajra Technique is priced at ninety high-grade spirit stones."

Pei Lan'er quoted the prices for the two cultivation techniques, keeping the price close to the bottom line.

She vaguely felt that establishing a good relationship with this mysterious Nascent Soul True Monarch, whose future was shrouded in mystery, would be entirely beneficial.

Bai Zichen took out 160 high-grade spirit stones and accepted two complete cultivation technique jade slips from Pei Lan'er.

He also spent several dozen high-grade spirit stones to purchase a fourth-tier spirit plant master's inheritance.

The Qingfeng Sect has never been particularly strong in the field of spiritual plants; in the past, they even had to invite people from the Shennong Sect to serve as guest elders when cultivating spiritual rice.

Although there has been some progress over the years, it is still far from meeting Bai Zichen's requirements.

Since we have this opportunity, let's seize it and take it all at once.

In other words, even if you inherit the skills of a spirit plant master and switch to alchemy or formations, you still can't buy a fourth-tier inheritance even if the price increases several times over.

Since these spirit stones were of little use to him anyway, he might as well exchange them for something of value.

"It seems that obtaining top-tier cultivation techniques through the Immortal City is not feasible... We still have to pin our hopes on the exchange meetings with Nascent Soul True Monarchs, or on the clues to secret realms from which we can obtain the inheritance of top-tier cultivation techniques."

After leaving the Ten Thousand Scrolls House, Bai Zichen sighed. The matter of changing his cultivation method would have to wait a while longer, and he couldn't complete it so quickly.

In fact, he had participated in quite a few secret realms, but they were all basically owned and controlled by sects.

The only new secret realm is the Ancient Sword Immortal Secret Realm, which Lu Song led him into, where he obtained the three great inheritances: the Purple Star Thunder Sword, the Nine Heavens Bone Forging Technique, and the Supreme Pure Micro Sword Box.

After that, there were no more clues about similar secret realms.

It can only be said that he lacked opportunities in this regard.

The Zhou Tian Tower, belonging to the Zhou Tian Sect, also failed to satisfy Bai Zichen; only the third-tier complete array was available for sale.

From formation diagrams and flags to formation plates and operational cores, everything is included.

When he made the request for a fourth-order grand formation, the person in charge of Zhou Tianlou looked stunned.

If it weren't for the Nascent Soul True Monarch standing before him, he would surely burst into laughter.

After Zhou Tianlou's explanation, Bai Zichen roughly understood that the arrangement of a fourth-order grand formation was no small matter and could easily last for several years.

Zhou Tianzong does indeed offer services to help other forces set up fourth-order grand formations, but the premise is that the client prepares the formations themselves. They only send fourth-order formation masters to set up the formations completely and adjust them to their optimal state.

This job alone costs a hundred high-grade spirit stones, and you have to queue up and make an appointment.

As for the complete fourth-order formation, Zhou Tianzong would never sell it.

According to the person in charge, even Zhou Tianzong himself didn't have enough, and several branch academies hadn't been able to set up the fourth-order grand formation.

There is absolutely no possibility of selling the fourth-order grand formations that involve the sect's inheritance; only the banners on the few discarded fourth-order grand formations can be bought separately.

With several banners and two complete third-order formations, Bai Zichen had almost spent all the spirit stones he had on him at Zhou Tianzong.

Of course, his few top-grade spirit stones were definitely not among them.

The Qingfeng Sect now occupies so much territory, but without the protection of a third-tier grand formation, they wouldn't dare to expand so vigorously.

The biggest reason is the shortage of high-level cultivators. Even one Core Formation cultivator can't be guaranteed for each spiritual vein, so how can we dare to invest a lot of resources?

Without a grand formation, the passing of a single third-tier demonic beast could leave the spiritual vein in a complete mess.

If we can't get a fourth-order formation, two third-order formations will be good too.

The other banners on the damaged fourth-order grand formations were for Zhou Suqing, to see if she had a chance to advance further and become the first fourth-order formation master in the history of the Qingfeng Sect.
