Third-Order Golden Core True Method...

Note: Contribution points gained from copying incomplete martial arts manuals are halved.

Upon seeing this, a look of realization dawned on Chen Beiwu's eyes.

Even based on a 1:1 ratio of contribution points to low-grade spirit stones, the price the Mirror Moon Sect pays for cultivation techniques is more than double the market price.

In particular, the sect's purchase price for a top-grade Qi cultivation method was almost the same as that for a Foundation Establishment cultivation method!
No wonder the Shen family targeted him when he sold the Hidden Abyss Technique at Biyuan Market. It turns out the technique was so valuable that even a Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't resist its allure.

It should be noted that, according to black market prices, a top-grade Qi cultivation method that has not yet been recorded in the sect's transmission hall is worth at least six thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Chen Beiwu took a deep breath, declined the mission, turned around and returned to Shuiyue Youju, then activated the Ten Directions Gate to return to the Immortal Alliance.

Sitting on the meditation cushion in the cultivation room, he took out his phone, opened the Immortal Alliance website, and began searching for water-based miscellaneous cultivation techniques with a different concept from the Hidden Abyss Technique.

Things are different now. He is now a Golden Core disciple of a sect, and copying and uploading a low-grade Foundation Establishment cultivation technique will not attract any covetousness.

After careful selection, Chen Beiwu chose a standard foundation-building technique called the "Clear Spring Nourishing Heart Technique".

'This technique has a rather mediocre concept and is unlikely to cause much of a stir.'

Chen Beiwu picked up the wolf-hair brush and, in one go, wrote tens of thousands of characters on the paper.

"Still water is clear, turbid water is muddy. When the mind is as clear as a spring, the spirit will naturally arise. The first level of cultivating this method requires reflecting on the mind, visualizing a clear spring, not having any thoughts of killing, and understanding the principle that water benefits all things without contention..."

"Although this method, once mastered, does not possess earth-shattering power, one's fundamental magical strength will far surpass that of others of the same level, and one will attain a state of clear mind."

He stopped writing, read through the paper containing the Clear Spring Nourishing Heart Technique, and after confirming there were no problems, Chen Beiwu put away the technique and activated the Ten Directions Gate to return to the Southern Wilderness.

……

Mirror Moon Sect, Mission Hall.

"Water nourishes all things, and stillness breeds wisdom."

Ma Dongmei was slightly taken aback when she saw the opening statement of the exercise manual that Senior Brother Chen had copied.

"Is there a problem?" Chen Beiwu asked tentatively.

To avoid attracting attention, the cultivation technique he copied was the "Clear Spring Nourishing Heart Technique," a technique that even Qi Refining cultivators would shake their heads and leave upon seeing.

Although it is also a foundation-building technique, it has no killing power compared to the [Mysterious Dark True Water Technique].

Compared to the [Taiyin Guiyuan Technique], the clear spring magic power it cultivates is not as powerful.

Compared to the "Supreme Goodness Mind Refining Technique," the clear and tranquil state of mind it cultivates to its fullest extent is also inferior.

From any perspective, the Clear Spring Nourishing Heart Technique is a somewhat unusual, but not particularly outstanding, foundational low-grade cultivation method.

“No problem.” Ma Dongmei shook her head and looked at Chen Beiwu.

No wonder the young man was valued by the sect and listed as a candidate.

He was even willing to hand over the Foundation Establishment inheritance he possessed to the sect. His sincere heart was truly astonishing.

If she possessed such a technique, she certainly wouldn't reveal it, lest someone discover the weaknesses of her cultivation method.

'what's the situation? ’

Seeing Ma Dongmei's reaction, Chen Beiwu instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

But he couldn't pinpoint exactly what the problem was. 'Could it be that cultivators in the Southern Wilderness value the inheritance of cultivation techniques, and almost no cultivator would offer up their cultivation techniques for sect contribution points?' Thinking of this possibility, Chen Beiwu felt a sense of relief.

As long as the technique itself isn't flawed, everything is fine.

“The review of Foundation Establishment techniques usually takes seven to fifteen days. If the Transmission Hall approves it, I will notify Senior Brother Chen as soon as possible to settle your contribution points,” Ma Dongmei said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu thanked him and turned to leave the mission hall.

He completed the cultivation task not only for the sect's ten-year assessment target, but also to earn enough resources to allow him and the Golden Egg to go into seclusion for a period of time.

It should be noted that within the Mirror Moon Sect, the purchasing power of contribution points far exceeds that of low-grade spirit stones.

No matter how many low-grade spirit stones a sect disciple has, they can only buy cultivation resources below the second tier.

Higher-level cultivation resources, such as Tier 3 pills, medicines, formations, and artifacts, can only be exchanged using sect contribution points.

Of course, since third-tier cultivation resources are needed by Golden Core cultivators, the exchange price is quite high, far beyond what ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators can afford.

Fortunately, Chen Beiwu's goal was relatively simple: he only intended to use the contribution points he earned to buy pills, specifically the Moon Dew and the Withered Thunder Branch, two second-grade high-quality spiritual herbs.

……

Three days later, in a cave deep within the Array Hall.

A spirited female cultivator, with her hair tied up in a high bun, adorned with a silver hairpin, sharp brows like swords, and a small cinnabar mole at the corner of her eye, sat regally atop the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Marrow.

"Buzz!"

As the spiritual energy within the cave returned to calm, she opened her eyes, a hint of confusion in them.

"Still not working?" she murmured, her brow furrowing slightly.

As the third elder of the Mirror Moon Sect, the head of the Array Hall, and the deputy head of the Transmission Hall, Yu Shuiyao only had two hobbies in her life.

First, we must inherit the methods of our ancestors and learn from the various practices around the world to establish our own path.

Secondly, one should use one's mind as a furnace to study worldly formations and establish a new path for formations.

Therefore, even the repair of a fourth-order incomplete array, which would make even a Golden Core cultivator's scalp tingle, was something Yu Shuiyao could immerse herself in, treating it as a form of leisure and entertainment during her breaks from cultivation.

"Sixty percent of the profound array diagram of this Calamity Sea Suppressing Dragon Array is hidden, and the remaining forty percent secretly corresponds to the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations. No wonder even Master Gao could not complete it."

Yu Shuiyao shook her head, looked at the dozens of communication talismans outside the cave entrance, and casually put them all into her palm.

The elders of the main lineage of the sect all hold multiple positions and have endless affairs to handle every day.

To save herself some trouble, Yu Shuiyao took in three apprentices, but some important decisions still required her approval.

"The Clear Spring Nourishing Heart Technique, interesting!" Yu Shuiyao smiled.

Ordinary foundation-building techniques have long since disappeared into history.

The cultivation techniques that can withstand the test of time and leave their mark on the official website of the Immortal Alliance are either created casually by powerful beings, have extremely high ideals, or take a different approach and have unique features.

Unlike Chen Beiwu, Yu Shuiyao, being a Golden Core cultivator, immediately recognized the uniqueness of this cultivation technique.

The Qingquan Yangxin Jue (Clear Spring Nourishing Heart Technique) has a unique perspective and an unconventional approach; its creator is undoubtedly a genius.

If she wasn't mistaken, the founder of this cultivation technique should be a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator who hadn't yet advanced to Foundation Establishment.

Since Chen Zi'ang was able to present this technique to his sect, it suggests two possibilities.

One is inherited by chance, and the other is created by myself.

Compared to the former, the probability of the latter is negligible.
