Chapter 73 The Great Evolution Myriad Souls Technique
Price: 2,000 low-grade spirit stones; Inheritance method: Can be replicated.
"A 30% increase!"
Yang Changsheng's breath hitched.
This growth rate has already reached the upper limit of the core inheritance level of the Foundation Establishment family mentioned by Steward Qian, and has even touched the threshold of a higher level!
More importantly, it contains the vitality of plants, accelerates the recovery of spiritual energy, and nourishes spiritual plants...
These effects seemed tailor-made for his immortal body and the golden ancient tree imprint in his sea of consciousness.
Although it was marked as being derived from an incomplete text with significant flaws such as missing parts, enough to make most cultivators abandon this technique, Yang Changsheng was quite satisfied.
Once he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment realm, he will have a lifespan of 780 years, and he will have hope whether he can deduce it himself or change his cultivation method.
As for the price... 2,100 spirit stones is enough to make even a family of cultivators feel extremely distressed; with his current savings, he simply cannot afford it.
"Forget it, let's choose a mental cultivation technique first."
Yang Changsheng glanced at the Yi Mu Chang Chun Jue, but due to his lack of funds, he could only temporarily give up and leave this area.
However, given how fast he earns spirit stones, he will be able to acquire it soon, so there's no need to rush.
On the second floor of Wanbaoge, the lighting in the area for spiritual techniques seemed particularly dim, with only two or three people scattered around, and the air was filled with the cool scent unique to ancient jade slips.
Yang Changsheng stood in front of a row of ancient wooden shelves, his gaze sweeping over the jade slips that were either gray or bluish-black, his mind racing with calculations.
Beside a few jade slips on the wooden shelf, the names of the cultivation techniques, their prices, and the required auxiliary resources were prominently displayed:
"Frost Tempering Soul Technique: 400 low-grade spirit stones, auxiliary resources: Warming Spirit Sand, Nine Nether Grass, requirements: unwavering will..."
"True Yang Refining Spirit Technique: 420 low-grade spirit stones, auxiliary resources: calming incense, blazing sun stone, requirement: unwavering will..."
"Three Transformation Spiritual Technique: 350 low-grade spirit stones, auxiliary resources 'requires Soul-Nourishing Wood and Cold Jade Marrow, requirement: multitasking, ......'"
"Great Evolution Myriad Souls Technique: 480 low-grade spirit stones, auxiliary resources: requires Spirit Nourishing Pill and Bewitching Flower, requirements: high soul strength and solid spiritual foundation."
"Starlight Soul Nourishing Technique: 530 low-grade spirit stones, auxiliary resources: Star Dew, Moon Soul Stone, requirements: Star Body, pure soul."
……
Yang Changsheng muttered to himself, "The mental cultivation technique itself isn't that expensive, but the subsequent consumption... Warming Spirit Sand, Blazing Sun Stone, Soul Nourishing Wood, Cold Jade Marrow, Starlight Dew... which one isn't a money pit that requires continuous investment of spirit stones? No wonder it's so deserted."
Recalling the good fortune of finding the "Nine Revolutions of the Sun and Moon Forging Scripture" back then, I know that such a good thing, which is both extremely difficult to cultivate and very cheap, is almost a luxury in the field of Qi cultivation and spiritual techniques.
These techniques themselves have no fatal flaws, so the prices are reasonable; the only barrier is the availability of resources.
"You reap what you sow. On the path of cultivation, is there any truly cheap way?"
He sighed inwardly, his gaze finally settling firmly on the deep blue jade slip labeled "The Great Evolution of Ten Thousand Souls Technique".
The reason for choosing it is very practical: the Spirit Nourishing Pill is a mid-grade first-tier pill, priced at forty low-grade spirit stones per pill. It takes an ordinary cultivator nearly a month to refine one pill, which is a huge waste.
But Yang Changsheng was different. The golden ancient tree imprint in his sea of consciousness endowed him with the extraordinary ability to purify waste pills and remove pill poison.
The price of discarded pills is often only one-tenth or even less of that of genuine pills. After he purifies the discarded pills of the acquired Spirit Nourishing Pill, although the efficacy is far inferior to that of the genuine product, the cost will drop precipitously.
As for the Bewitching Flower needed for assistance, it is a low-grade first-tier spiritual plant, costing ten spirit stones per plant. Twelve plants a year would only cost one hundred and twenty spirit stones, which is still within our budget.
"This is it."
Without further hesitation, Yang Changsheng picked up the deep blue jade slip and turned to walk towards the deacon counter on the second floor.
A kind-faced middle-aged deacon accepted the jade slip, a barely perceptible hint of surprise flashing in his eyes:
"Oh? The Great Evolution Myriad Souls Technique? Young friend, you have a good eye. This technique has very high requirements for the foundation of spiritual sense, but once mastered, one's spiritual sense will be far stronger than others of the same level. The Myriad Treasures Pavilion is having a promotion recently, all cultivation techniques and jade slips are 5% off."
"I was introduced by Steward Qian, and I still need to purchase a year's worth of Bewitching Flowers."
Yang Changsheng smiled and spoke.
The 5% discount is the listed price; if someone makes a referral, you can get an even bigger discount.
"Then it's settled. The cultivation technique was originally priced at 480, but after the discount it's 449. The Bewitching Flower costs 118 per year, so the total is 567 spirit stones."
The middle-aged deacon didn't waste any words and directly quoted a price for someone he knew.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist."
Yang Changsheng brushed his fingertips across the storage bag at his waist, and with a slight flash of light, a small pile of crystal-clear low-grade spirit stones was neatly stacked on the counter, exactly five hundred and sixty-seven.
Half of his savings were gone. Although he didn't save much, the discounts were substantial, so he was naturally not dissatisfied.
After the steward finished counting, his smile widened, and he handed over the jade slip and twelve purple bewitching flowers, which exuded a mesmerizing fragrance and were sealed in a jade box.
"Thank you, Steward."
Yang Changsheng packed up his things, bowed and took his leave, leaving Wanbaoge without lingering and merging into the crowd of people in the market.
His steps were steady, but his mind had already flown back to that little haven at No. 9527 Tingchao Lane.
As I opened the barrier and pushed open the courtyard gate, the familiar dampness mixed with a faint fragrance wafted towards me.
This small courtyard of over 80 square meters is his only foothold for survival in this turbulent Bishui Lake.
After changing the wooden plaque from "going out" to "closed-door seclusion," Yang Changsheng did not delay at all. He closed the courtyard gate and went straight into the quiet room.
He sat cross-legged on the futon and first sank his mind into his sea of consciousness.
That ancient golden tree, rooted in the void of the spirit, spreads its branches and leaves, exuding a warm yet magnificent vitality.
After a moment, he composed himself and solemnly placed the jade slip containing the "Great Evolution Myriad Souls Technique" between his eyebrows.
A massive flow of information, accompanied by complex and profound thoughts, suddenly surged into my mind.
The core of this technique is "refining the spirit with the spirit, and transforming all thoughts into one."
It is not a gentle way of nurturing, but a domineering method of actively forging, tearing, and then reassembling spiritual power.
The cultivation process actually takes place deep within the sea of consciousness, where one uses their own will as a hammer to continuously strike and temper the origin of their divine consciousness, much like forging refined iron.
Each hammering is accompanied by excruciating pain that tears the soul apart, leaving one feeling utterly terrified.
The meaning of "ten thousand souls" does not refer to devouring external souls, but rather requires cultivators to differentiate into thousands of subtle threads of divine thought, like manipulating thousands of threads to perform the most precise weaving and self-collision, until the divine thought is as tough as steel and can be controlled by the heart.
Only by supplementing with specific Spirit Nourishing Pills for nourishment and repair, and with Bewitching Flowers to stabilize the mind and resist the phantom pain generated during Spirit Refining, can the danger of spiritual collapse be avoided.
