Chapter 15 Guiyuan Sect 7
The three of them rushed to the cafeteria after getting up in the morning, and were shocked by the huge crowd.
The artificial blockade prevented them from getting in at all.
"What should we do, brother?" Gong Yu asked, feeling a bit of a headache.
The three of them walked around the cafeteria and found that it was truly impossible to enter from any angle.
"It's time."
"?"
"Luckily, I had the foresight!" Cheng Jiu took out the jade slip, and after a while, yesterday's head chef came over with breakfast to the three of them. "Here you go!"
Cheng Jiu gave her a top-grade spirit stone. Yesterday, she heard Mao Hongsheng say that there were a lot of people eating, and she had a bad feeling. She was not sure if she could compete with those muscular men from Tifeng.
Food delivery is truly a great invention of the century!
"Wow! That's a great method."
"uh-huh!"
The three of them ate breakfast, and some people saw it, though they joked that both body cultivators and sword cultivators were poor.
However, this is not absolute. Some people come from very wealthy families, so they are also quite wealthy when it comes to cultivation. For example, there are many wealthy people in Tifeng, but they make up a relatively small percentage.
Upon seeing this method, I was immediately intrigued. Laziness is one of the ways humans are productive, and someone immediately inquired about it.
"Junior sister, how did you manage to get that senior uncle to bring you breakfast?"
"Senior brother, you've come at the right time. The exquisite jade slip contains the contact information of all the chefs in the cafeteria. You can talk to the chef you want to eat at and discuss the price with him."
He'll deliver it to you, and you won't have to squeeze into the cafeteria anymore. 50 top-grade spirit stones—you won't lose out, you won't be cheated. Besides, asking around one by one is such a hassle.”
Gongcheng and Gongyu thought the price was very cheap. Since they were very wealthy, they readily gave Cheng Jiu 50 spirit stones.
The 100 top-grade spirit stones he received for the opening were actually scavenged from his companions. Cheng Jiu accepted them without any hesitation, and the other party, seeing this, had no more questions and simply said, "Give me one!"
As soon as he spoke, even some disciples who had always thought it was a bit pricey, but who did have a little money, started to speak up.
This is called blindly following trends in consumption. Cheng Jiu prepared a lot of jade slips, which were made by her master and would be taught to her later.
Normally, jade slips require copying the aura of each person one by one. If you want to exchange jade slips, you have to find a friend to exchange them with.
This is like a telephone, which can copy the original call from the jade slip. She originally planned to prepare several so that she wouldn't lose contact with her melon-eating partner.
But after arriving at Tifeng, she keenly discovered this business opportunity. Although it was simple, it was easy to use.
It's safe to say that the profit margin is huge. The cost of making a single jade slip is at most 500 low-grade spirit stones, so her doubling the price is practically a thousand times the profit.
The commotion she made immediately attracted the attention of the Peak Master.
Moreover, she even set up a stall, and threw the spirit stones into a wooden box next to her. To be honest, even though the peak master of the Body Peak thought he had been running the Body Peak for so many years, he had no idea that the disciples of the Body Peak were so rich!
He absolutely couldn't bear to part with 50 top-grade spirit stones. After thinking about it, he realized he couldn't just let it go like that. After all, on Tifeng's territory, they were selling Tifeng's information to Tifeng's disciples and making money off Tifeng, while he, the old landlord, wouldn't get a single penny. Was that fair?
The message was sent immediately. Cheng Jiu could understand, since this was the other party's territory. The two had a heated debate in their minds and finally decided to split it 20/80.
That's 50 top-grade spirit stones! Another sum has been added to her savings. Besides that, she can also hire a group of disciples from the Body Peak to deliver her takeout, which is another advantage.
The peak master's eyes lit up. In any case, Cheng Jiu wouldn't be staying at his peak for long, and in the future, it would be him, the peak master, who would take over this treasure trove.
Damn it, why didn't he think of that back then? He let Cheng Jiu make so much money for nothing. It's true, you can't compare people.
The Gongfa Hall is guarded by an old man with a white beard, but he exudes an extraordinary aura, and no one who enters the Gongfa Hall dares to disrespect him.
He was a mysterious figure, like a hidden monk. "You have three hours to choose three cultivation techniques to copy. If I find out you've exceeded the time limit or brought too many, don't blame me for being impolite."
The three nodded hurriedly and entered the cultivation method hall. There were still quite a few body cultivation methods available. The three went to their respective spiritual root areas to choose cultivation methods, but more importantly, they chose the methods to cultivate themselves.
Cheng Jiu reached out and entered a different dimension. The cultivation world had been passed down for countless years, and the body cultivation techniques were constantly being updated.
Although the books appear to be placed on bookshelves, a powerful being has actually created an alternate dimension to better protect them.
She sat cross-legged on the ground, using her consciousness to connect with these things. Soon, a book glowing with a green light entered her consciousness.
It was extremely domineering. Books that were originally interested in Cheng Jiu were directly knocked away by it. Other books circled around Cheng Jiu a few times, looking aggrieved, before leaving when they realized they couldn't get in.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Cheng Jiu had made his choice: the Myriad Trees and Thousand Springs Technique, a book that uses the essence and even toxins of forests to temper the body.
In the final stage of cultivation, not only is the body extremely resilient, but one is also immune to all poisons and can avoid all kinds of poisons. One also lives longer than ordinary people. All the main body tempering methods in the cultivation world are included. The most exquisite of them all lead to the same goal.
Cheng Jiu could have chosen three books, but the one in his mind was too domineering, so he had no choice but to accept it in the end.
She first photocopied the books in her sea of consciousness. The books themselves remained in her sea of consciousness, while the photocopied books, when placed in the library, would slowly come to life.
After a while, the two brothers came out, and they looked like they had had a good haul.
The three then moved on to the Martial Arts Hall, where there were many disciples. They sat in groups in front of the martial arts stone tablets, hoping to receive the favor of these martial arts techniques.
However, very few people have ever been able to obtain these martial arts skills. Even if they cannot learn them, they will still gain some insights from watching them, so people come to the martial arts hall in an endless stream.
The three of them paid their contribution points and began to slowly wander through the stone forest. If there was a sense of movement, the stone tablet would naturally choose them.
"Why? Why have I been here for over 20 years and not a single stone tablet has chosen me! And I've run out of contribution points!"
"Damn it, could this be a scam? Give us a response! Give us a response!"
"Ah, if I smash you!" The next second, the big man was dragged out by the Enforcement Hall.
Countless people come here seeking opportunities, hoping to soar to great heights. However, the number of exceptional individuals is always limited; most are just ordinary people. Yet, they are unwilling to accept this and seek shortcuts. They believe that perseverance will eventually lead to success.
Unfortunately, with so many people coming, it doesn't feel so precious anymore. Here you can see all walks of life, everyone hoping for a response someday, and then to become rich overnight.
Cheng Jiu and Gong Cheng Gong Yu sensed something in less than a quarter of an hour and then headed in the direction they sensed.
Before the Martial Arts Monument, a woman was already sitting cross-legged, trying to comprehend the Dao. However, she didn't seem to have been chosen, so Cheng Jiu didn't disturb her. He set up the formation himself before beginning his own comprehension.
Although killing each other in the martial arts hall is strictly forbidden, and anyone caught doing so will be expelled from the sect, human nature is unpredictable. Sometimes, necessary precautions are essential.
If someone who has never been favored by these stone tablets becomes envious and attacks, the incident could happen in an instant, and by the time punishment is given, it will be too late.
A wise person does not stand under a crumbling wall; this is what Master Cheng Jiu always told her.
She tried to connect her divine sense with the stone tablet, and a bright green light emanated from it, enveloping her directly.
The woman who was meditating nearby opened her eyes and looked at her with a complicated expression. She had been meditating here for decades. Back then, there was clearly a stone tablet responding to her, but now it seemed that she had been deluding herself.
She stood there for a long time, seemingly struggling with something, but when she saw the array plate that Cheng Jiu had placed beside him, she left with resentment and gritted her teeth.
The commotion caused by the stone tablet was so great that almost the entire martial arts world was alerted. After the stone tablet lit up, two more lights appeared in succession.
Some people couldn't bear the thought of their Dao Hearts shattering. "Is this what only those with golden aptitude and talent can possess? I've worked hard all these years, diligently completing tasks to earn contribution points, and painstakingly comprehending here. What are all my insights gained over the years worth now?"
"Last time, he was also one of the peak master's junior disciples and comprehended the Myriad Manifestations Prajna Technique." A man said with envy, "I had heard that the personal disciples of the two True Monarchs would come to Sword Peak to study. It seems that the people in front of these three steles are those three."
"Heaven is unjust! Heaven is unjust! Are we disciples with ordinary talents destined to live a life of mediocrity?"
"With enough effort, I might catch up with them. They're just geniuses who haven't really grown up yet, relying on their natural talent. What kind of geniuses are they?"
Everyone had their own opinions and perspectives. The Enforcement Hall, also because of these crazy disciples, announced the closure of the Martial Arts Hall, leaving only three people to meditate in front of the stone tablet.
"After all this time, another person with the Heavenly Wood Spiritual Root has been recognized by the Myriad Woods Thousand Springs Technique." A cute little girl dressed in gold stood in front of Cheng Jiu. "Which of the Five Great Sects are you a disciple of?"
"I am Cheng Jiu, a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect. I greet you, senior." Cheng Jiu did not recognize the other party, but he was still very respectful. Perhaps it was the remnant soul of a powerful figure from the past.
"I don't know if you've heard of me in your time. I am Zhu Keqing, the 70th generation sect leader of the Wuji Sect. How about it, little girl? Aren't you surprised? Even the Guiyuan Sect has the Wuji Sect's techniques." The girl's voice was cheerful.
"I have heard of you, senior, the number one female sect leader in the cultivation world." Cheng Jiu was very surprised.
"Don't be surprised." The little girl waved her hand. "Actually, apart from the natal cultivation technique, the other cultivation techniques of the five major sects are all interconnected."
Take, for example, the Myriad Springs Thousand Springs Manual. I originally obtained it from a long-deceased immortal.
My true form is a Golden Spiritual Root, and I originally intended to keep this technique hidden away. However, after participating in the great battle, under the baptism of the spiritual rain of heaven and earth, I suddenly comprehended this martial art.
My true form possesses a golden spiritual root and has never cultivated before, yet Heaven bestowed upon this martial arts manual an immense blessing. This manual encompasses fist techniques, palm techniques, and body-refining methods.
It can be said to encompass everything.
However, the prerequisite is that one must cultivate the Myriad Trees and Thousand Springs Technique. I don't know why I created it, but I can't escape the word "fate".
Over the years, only a handful of people have met the requirements for cultivation. I don't know their specific progress in cultivation. You can consider whether you want to cultivate."
"I don't know who those ten people are."
"Oh, no one has asked me this question. Tens of thousands of years have passed. I even asked the disciple who met the criteria before, but he seemed to have never heard of them. But since you asked, I'll tell you." Zhu Keqing casually stated the names of the ten people—seven women and three men.
Cheng Jiu pondered for a moment: "This disciple does not know the deeds of all the seniors, but that Senior Yuan was one of the great beings who ascended to immortality."
"It can allow ascension! Then it seems this cultivation technique isn't some dubious product after all!" The girl jumped up excitedly.
After all, she herself did not have a wood spirit root and had never cultivated before, but she did not want such a good cultivation method to be abandoned. Every time she preached, she felt guilty for deceiving people.
"Alright, this is a soul body without any attributes. You'd better watch carefully. I'll only demonstrate twice. How much you can remember depends on your ability!"
The girl began practicing each move, and suddenly the green space was filled with lush greenery, with plants blooming, sometimes like spring breezes turning into water, sometimes like a fierce tiger emerging from the earth. Every move and every stance seemed to contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.
The Wan Chun Hong Wu Jue consists of three parts. The first is the Wan Mu Palm, a palm technique that is seemingly calm but actually turbulent.
The second is the Ten Thousand Wood Fist, which is powerful and vigorous, with the feeling of a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, but it also contains a hidden softness and unpredictable changes.
Finally, there is the Body Refining Technique, which includes movement techniques and other methods. Combined with the Myriad Wood Palm and Myriad Wood Fist, it becomes unpredictable and elusive, leaving people bewildered.
Cheng Jiu watched it twice with great care, squeezing every last drop of his consciousness into memorizing each move.
"Alright, this Wan Chun Hong Wu Technique was all based on my own experience, and I am not the only one who can tell you exactly how it works."
"I have practiced body exercises since childhood and learned countless techniques. My greatest realization over the years is that what suits you best is the best. If you always rigidly adhere to what your predecessors taught, following the same rigid form without any variation, you will never surpass them."
"Thank you for your guidance, senior!" Cheng Jiu replied earnestly. After all, it was an immense opportunity for this senior to give her a pointer.
"I find you pleasing to the eye, little girl. Here you are."
A Spirit Nourishing Body Technique entered Cheng Jiu's consciousness, and Cheng Jiu shuddered. She had grown up in the cultivation world, after all. The Spirit Nourishing Body Technique was famous and was one of the foundational techniques of the Wuji Sect, reaching the Divine Rank! This was terrible. She wasn't a disciple of the Wuji Sect.
"Alright, little girl, don't look so gloomy. I can give the cultivation technique I created to whomever I want. What can those old men from the Wuji Sect say? I'll just put a mark on you, and they won't dare to say anything then."
As expected of the first female sect leader, she acts domineeringly, but Cheng Jiu likes it. It gives off a vibe of a pampered little wife being protected by a domineering CEO. Waaah, sister, you're killing me! So, is this sister a loli?
"It's getting late, let's go out!" The little girl waved her hand, and Cheng Jiu appeared outside the next second.
She sat there for a while before calming down, realizing she had received a great opportunity.
The three of them came out of the martial arts hall together, but none of them asked each other what they had obtained. That's how it is in the cultivation world; don't pry into other people's opportunities.
This is a gift from heaven; asking around recklessly might bring some karmic consequences upon you.
Moreover, since these are all opportunities of one's own making, if there are any naive and innocent people who casually shout about them and incite others to attack them, they will only become a laughing stock in the entire cultivation world.
