Chapter 25

Over a year had passed, and during that time, Lin Jiang had attended four exchange meetings. He was no longer a newbie like he was at his first meeting. Among the customers at Duobao Pavilion, he had gained a bit of fame.

(Translated by Gravity Tales ????)

Many people befriended Lin Jiang, wanting to collaborate with him on various things such as missions or treasure hunting, but Lin Jiang turned down all of these requests.

He only exchanged for things he needed at the exchange meetings, such as spiritual medicines and insights into drawing talismans. This also greatly improved his talisman-drawing skills. A month ago, he successfully drew his first first-grade premium spiritual talisman.

Lin Jiang realized that he knew very little about the cultivation world, so he spent this past year strengthening his understanding. He deliberately collected a lot of information.

As Lin Jiang read through the whole thing, he saw the words "class" everywhere. In the world of cultivation, everything was classified into different classes. Cultivators were divided based on their Spiritual Root, and techniques were categorized as heaven, earth, xuan, yellow. Pills, talismans, items, and formations also had different grades.

And these distinctions were ultimately made to differentiate people. It was extremely difficult for lower-level cultivators to advance. For example, to improve their cultivation level, they must have a Spiritual Root, preferably a good one. Otherwise, they needed to make up for it in other ways, such as acquiring advanced techniques or plenty of spiritual herbs.

However, for the majority of lower-level cultivators, they lacked all of these, including a Spiritual Root. Once they possessed an outstanding Spiritual Root, they were no longer considered lower-level and might be recruited by major families and sects, instantly elevating their social standing.

Based on this information, Lin Jiang adjusted his plans. The first thing he needed to do was find a powerful technique. The technique he practiced was called the Profound Illumination Art. According to its grade, it should be of a high yellow grade. In terms of small factions or independent cultivators, it would be considered very good. Most cultivators in Yunzhong City had techniques of a low yellow grade.

However, Lin Jiang was still very dissatisfied. It wss said that the law was the foundation of cultivation resources. A top-tier technique not only allowed cultivators to progress faster, but also raised their potential. The Profound Illumination Art that Lin Jiang currently practiced could only be cultivated up to the Golden Core Period. On the market, any heavenly level cultivation method could reach the level of Soul Changing or above.

"Taoist Friend Jiang wants advanced techniques but doesn't know what level or if there are any specific requirements."

When the steward at the Duobao Pavilion, who was acquainted with Lin Jiang, heard about his visit, he instinctively asked in response.

"I prefer techniques without any restrictions based on Spiritual Roots. I have Five Spiritual Roots. As for the grade, do you have any heavenly level techniques?"Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

"There are many cultivation techniques without the restriction of Spiritual Roots, but to say that it's a heavenly level cultivation method, Taoist Friend Jiang is joking. A heavenly level cultivation method without an owner can attract the attention of any prestigious sect, causing a fierce battle in the cultivation world. It can lead to chaos and bloodshed. Even if we consider the situation from a different perspective, if there were truly trades for heavenly level cultivation methods, they cannot be purchased with spirit stones. They must be exchanged for valuable items, and at a high price."

The steward shook his head. He didn't laugh at Lin Jiang because there were many cultivators who believed that heavenly level cultivation methods were easy to obtain. Even the Cloud Sword Sect, to which he belonged, only had one heavenly level cultivation method, which was exclusive to their inner disciples.

"So, where can one have the opportunity to obtain a heavenly level cultivation method?"

Lin Jiang beside them was stunned, thinking to himself, "What the heck, isn't this technique tailor-made for me?"

"Jiang, my Taoist friend... Jiang, my Taoist friend..."

"Ahem, sorry for spacing out. So, about this technique..."

"If you want it, I'll give it to you. But please think carefully, this technique is really bizarre. Many predecessors have tried to overcome its drawbacks, but all failed. Those who cultivate this technique all die in their prime."

"We cultivate immortality to live forever, not to seek death. If there is no deep enmity to the point of wanting to die together with an enemy, it's best not to practice it."

"I understand. I'll just take a look. I'm still young and don't have any enemies to the point of losing hope."

"That's good. If my Taoist friend is talented, perhaps you can learn something useful from it."

"I wonder how this technique is sold?"

"I said it's a gift for my taoist friend. You have taken care of me for many years, so I won't ask for money."

Lin Jiang spent more than ten thousand spirit stones on things. This helped him achieve great success. The steward wanted to keep this customer, otherwise he wouldn't have told Lin Jiang about it.

"Thank you so much, taoist friend."

"This is the technique. Let me repeat it again, don't practice it casually, and don't have any illusions. If you do practice it, stop as soon as possible. It will only shorten your lifespan a little. If you wait until you master the technique, it will be too late."

"Understood. Thank you, taoist friend. I'll leave now, nothing urgent."

Lin Jiang pretended to casually pick up the technique, but he couldn't contain his excitement. He couldn't believe his luck to come across such a technique. He was eager to go back and practice it.
