Chapter 1893 (Raw 1994): Preparations for Closed-Door Cultivation
“Senior Brother, is this Fist Technique not suitable for your intent?” the blue-clad disciple asked softly when he saw Xiao Chen hesitate.
Xiao Chen recovered his wits. I’ll take it, then. I should be able to shake up the hidden resentment with my strength.
Xiao Chen had already chosen a Movement Technique and a Fist Technique. He did not need a Saber Technique, and he had the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art for tempering his body.
For now, he did not need anything else.
I’ll get a Secret Technique, then.
Secret Techniques were normally extremely hard to practice. However, once one succeeded, one would immediately have a life-protecting killing move.
After a while, Xiao Chen arrived before a stone wall. This wall had the words “Dragon’s Gate’s Secret Techniques” written on the top of the wall.
He did not rush to choose, seriously checking everything.
“Firmament’s Rage. Using the special characteristics of the Dragon Race bloodline, cultivate the five fingers into tough and resilient ancient dragon fingers. Then, use Great Dao Energy to condense the five elements into the fingers. With one swipe, a towering giant hand appears, looking like the firmament raging. When cultivated to the highest level, it is capable of destroying a nation with the five fingers spread out.”
Good. This is it.
“Senior Brother, this is the Secret Technique with the highest requirement in comprehension ability in my Heavenly Dragon Palace. Right now, in the entire Heavenly Dragon Palace, only the First Palace Master has practiced it to Great Perfection. The others more or less have some flaws and cannot bring it to Great Perfection,” the blue-clad disciple warned with a slight frown when he saw Xiao Chen choose this Secret Technique.
At the same time, the blue-clad disciple also felt confused. This Senior Brother Xiao’s choices in Martial Technique, Movement Technique, and Secret Technique are incredibly strange.
He chose Light of Freedom, the Movement Technique with the lowest requirement in comprehension ability, but chose the Secret Technique with the highest requirement in comprehension ability.
“Since the First Palace Master can successfully practice it, that means that it is possible to practice this Secret Technique.”
Xiao Chen possessed strong confidence in his comprehension ability.
He wanted a Secret Technique that challenged his high comprehension ability. He had chosen Light of Freedom only to perfect his Thunder Dragon Steps.
With three jade strips, Xiao Chen already reached his quota and could not choose more.
He returned to the first floor of the Martial Technique Pavilion and handed the jade strips to the gray-clad administrator to exchange for a copy of the corresponding secret manuals.
“Supreme Dragon Fist?”
When the administrator saw the jade strip for the Supreme Dragon Fist, he muttered to himself as he gave Xiao Chen a strange look.
“What’s wrong? Can’t I choose this Fist Technique?”
The gray-clad administrator quickly replied, “That is not the case. In the past, there were many people who chose to practice this Supreme Dragon Fist. In the end, they entered a state of Berserking Qi Deviation and did not come to a good end. It has already become a forbidden technique. I need to remind you to choose this with caution.”
“Many thanks for your reminder. However, I still want to choose this Supreme Dragon Fist.”
Since Xiao Chen already made his decision, his heart naturally would not waver. Otherwise, he really might not be able to practice this Supreme Dragon Fist.
Upon seeing this, the gray-clad administrator did not say anything more on the topic.
“Firmament’s Rage?”
When he saw Firmament’s Rage, he could not help smiling bitterly. “Xiao Chen, each of your choices is stranger than the one before it. Not just anyone can successfully practice this Firmament’s Rage. Only a few Divine Dragon bloodline geniuses succeeded in practicing it. As for mixed-blood dragons, I have never heard of any succeeding before. This Secret Technique has a high requirement in not only comprehension ability but also bloodline.”
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. “That’s the one I want.”
Bloodline? Xiao Chen possessed a Divine Dragon bloodline in the first place, not a mixed-blood bloodline. As for comprehension ability, that went without saying. Aside from the heaven-defying little monk, he had never seen anyone with a higher comprehension ability than himself.
“A core disciple has three chances to choose the first time they come. After that, it will be somewhat difficult to enter this Martial Technique Pavilion. An exchange will require a large number of contribution points.”
The gray-clad administrator asked one final time, “Are you sure you are not changing your choices?”
“I’m not changing anything.”
Without saying anything more, the gray-robed administrator took out the corresponding secret manual copies and handed them to Xiao Chen. Then, before letting him leave, he made him swear on a heart demon not to spread these techniques.
As the gray-clad administrator watched Xiao Chen leave, he shook his head. Xiao Chen, you might be filled with boundless potential, becoming a core disciple as a Star Venerate, but not just anyone can tame Firmament’s Rage and Supreme Dragon Fist. You are trying to take too big a step.
After leaving the Martial Technique Pavilion, Xiao Chen rode the Demon Blood Vulture and visited the Heavenly Pill Pavilion.
When Xiao Chen took out the Pill Dragon Token, he was immediately given a grand reception. Even the Pavilion Master showed up.
“The Pill Dragon Token. Only the Third Palace Master is qualified to give this out.”
“That’s right. It was the Third Palace Master who gave it to me.”
Xiao Chen took back the Pill Dragon Token from the Pavilion Master’s hand. Honestly speaking, he had purposely used the Third Palace Master’s name to obtain some benefits.
However, that being said, this was the Third Palace Master’s intention in giving Xiao Chen the Pill Dragon Token.
If Xiao Chen did not do this, he would upset the Third Palace Master.
The expression of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, whose cultivation was much higher than Xiao Chen’s, changed slightly. He said respectfully, “I see. What are you looking for here?”
“I’m here to retrieve my sect stipend. Also, I want to ask about exchanging for Primeval Heavenly Pills.”
The Pavilion Master smiled and said, “That’s a small matter. I can pass you your sect stipend now. You don’t have to come here personally for this minor matter in the future. I’ll send someone to deliver them to you.”
“Many thanks, Pavilion Master.”
“It’s nothing. As for exchanging for Primeval Heavenly Pills, you can exchange five hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Jades for one Primeval Heavenly Pill. If you are using Medial Grade Spirit Jades, you only need ten thousand. As for Superior Grade Spirit Jades, one hundred would be enough.”
Xiao Chen thought for a while. Including the trophies from defeating several Holy Venerates, he now had close to two hundred million Medial Grade Spirit Jades and thirty thousand Superior Grade Spirit Jades.
Never mind the Superior Grade Spirit Jades. I should keep them. Exchanging them for Primeval Heavenly Pills is wasteful.
Of the nearly two hundred million Medial Grade Spirit Jades, I should keep around fifty million and exchange the rest.
After completing the exchange and adding his sect stipend, Xiao Chen obtained a total of fifteen thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills.
This was more than one year of stipend for the other core disciples, an extremely vast wealth.
For the many core disciples, they could not use all their stipend for cultivating, as they still needed to purchase other cultivation resources. Xiao Chen was different.
He truly deserves to be a disciple that the Third Palace Master values. He has an extraordinary background, to be able to bring out more than one hundred million Medial Grade Spirit Jades in one go. That would be all the wealth of a regular Holy Venerate. However, he is currently only an insignificant Star Venerate.
“For you. This is a gift for having the Pill Dragon Token.”
The Pavilion Master showed a faint smile as he gave Xiao Chen a jade bottle. When Xiao Chen accepted it, there were exactly two thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills inside.
Xiao Chen did not stand on ceremony. The Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art required a vast amount of Spiritual Energy. He would not reject any Primeval Heavenly Pills coming his way.
After leaving the Heavenly Pill Pavilion, Xiao Chen felt rueful. It was truly much more convenient having someone backing him in the sect.
The Third Palace Master only gave Xiao Chen one Pill Dragon Token, and it allowed Xiao Chen to do things very smoothly, gaining other benefits as well.
Without having to do anything, he gained two months’ worth of stipend.
“Let’s go. Return to Cold Moon Cave.”
Following this, Xiao Chen had to go into closed-door cultivation to digest the benefits from the Heavenly Dragon Palace.
At this moment, he felt a surge of ambition. However, he did not let it go to his head. He followed his original plan step by step.
The Spiritual Energy around the mountains surrounding Cold Moon Cave was like an Immortal fog.
“Whoosh!”
Xiao Chen spread his hand open, and a scarlet pill containing boundless energy and emanating a berserk aura appeared in his palm.
This was one of the eight supreme treasures that Xiao Chen obtained on the stone pillar with the divine flame.
A Beast Blood Pill!
The Demon Blood Vulture, which was at the side, immediately drooled as it eyed this Medicinal Pill with a boundless demonic nature and berserk aura.
Master, if you had this thing, why didn’t you take it out earlier? Had I consumed it, I would have reached the Holy-Venerate level long ago, the Demon Blood Vulture demanded angrily with extreme dissatisfaction.
Xiao Chen retorted calmly, “What do you know? Although the cultivation of cultivators and ferocious beasts are different, the principle is still similar. If you did not train yourself properly as a late-stage Star Venerate, it would have been more detrimental than beneficial for you to consume it.
“You need to make accumulations and use opportunities to break through. Only by doing this will you maximize the medicinal effect of this Beast Blood Pill. It also won’t leave any future problems. This is the best method for you. Go on. Take it.”
Xiao Chen waved his hand and tossed the Beast Blood Pill to the Demon Blood Vulture, which swallowed it in one gulp.
“Boom!”
The Demon Blood Vulture’s body immediately swelled up, and a bright scarlet light burst out of its body, illuminating the entire Cold Moon Cave.
The golden line on the Demon Blood Vulture’s tail feathers did not get drowned out in the scarlet light. Instead, it grew even more piercing.
Vaguely, this strand of golden light seemed like it would outshine the scarlet light.
When Xiao Chen saw this scene, he nodded to himself. After his closed-door cultivation, his strength would definitely increase considerably.
If the Demon Blood Vulture did not improve, it would no longer be able to keep up.
Supreme Dragon Fist, Firmament’s Rage, and seventeen thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills. Xiao Chen eagerly anticipated how strong he would be after he digested all this.
