Infiltrating the righteous path? Just another place to be a sycophant.

“But Elder Lu, the Hehuan Sect is not a good place. Don’t go to such a place again next time.” Yu Wanqing lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, “Also, this time it was a mission, so let bygones be bygones.”

"Of course I will not go again. I, Lu, swear to Heaven! I will never forgive gambling and drugs!" Lu An stood up, raised his fist, and swore.

"Elder Lu, there is no need to make such an oath. Dual cultivation is also a cultivation method. There are couples who can become immortals through dual cultivation. There is no need to regard it as a flood or a beast."

"But the women of the Hehuan Sect should not be touched again. They have no loyalty whatsoever, and marrying them is not a long-term solution. I'm afraid I'll be cuckolded forever!"

"Sect Master Yu is right! That's absolutely true!"

“Well, now that we’ve laid it all out, Elder Lu, the next thing is…” Yu Wanqing took out a letter, opened it, and read it through before saying, “Elder Lu, the Shi family of Ping’an City is guarding Yibao. As I told you before, we don’t have enough manpower, so we can only send you…”

"That's no problem. Whether it's the Righteous Alliance or the Yuan Tian Holy Sect, I, Lu An, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

“Yes, the Shi family has a secret treasure that has been targeted, but the formation will take some time to set up. During this time, we need a powerful expert to oversee it.” Yu Wanqing said, “This mission was accepted in the name of the Righteous Alliance. However, since the experts have been busy dealing with the demon race’s disturbances, no one has taken on this mission. I wonder if Elder Lu could accept it?”

"Of course, the offer is ten top-grade spirit stones, plus the Righteous Alliance's contribution points, which is about 2000 points."

At first glance, this seems like a good mission—you can slack off and even earn spirit stones! Most importantly, it's a chance to take it easy!

But what are the contribution points for the Righteous Alliance?

"Sect Master Yu, what are these contribution points?"

"Those that can be exchanged for items from the Righteous Alliance are all good things. To be honest, they might even include ancient immortal techniques."

"I'm not very familiar with ancient immortal techniques. Do they exist?"

"what?"

"Secret techniques for cultivating at the Golden Core stage?"

"Why would Elder Lu want this?"

"I was just asking, if you don't have it, that's fine..." Lu An lowered his head a little guiltily.

“Yes, Elder Lu, are you perhaps planning to take on disciples? However, our Yuan Tian Sacred Sect has very few Golden Core stage disciples; most are at the Nascent Soul stage or higher,” Yu Wanqing said. “Of course, if Elder Lu wishes, it’s not impossible. The Golden Core stage is indeed an important foundation-building stage!”

"Really? Where is the place in the Righteous Path Alliance where I can exchange cultivation techniques?"

"Don't worry, I will take Elder Lu there when we get back."

Chapter 140 Only a Fool Would Buy Your Cultivation Technique

As Lu An left the main hall, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Within the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect, disciples at the Golden Core stage are extremely rare; the majority of our disciples are at the Nascent Soul stage.

These words deeply wounded Lu An's heart.

Even cultivators with low cultivation levels have human rights!

That's not how you should belittle someone!

However, this also triggered his sense of crisis.

You can't just drift through life like this; you'll be exposed sooner or later.

Relying on your master to help improve your cultivation is not an option; something bad will happen sooner or later.

Last time, he wanted to visit the scripture library of the Yuantian Shengzong sect, but he couldn't get in.

When asked why, they said that only those at the Nascent Soul stage could enter, and cultivation techniques below the Golden Core stage were not accepted; one had to purchase them from other disciples within the sect.

So Lu An could only use the excuse of coming to take a look at this statement, and left the Sutra Pavilion in a dejected manner.

Fine, fine, so Golden Core stage disciples have no rights, huh? They won't even accept cultivation techniques.

However, the Righteous Alliance has included cultivation techniques for the Golden Core stage, which is obviously a good thing!

His ideal is to become a sword cultivator, not a fake cultivator who pretends to be a shaman!

We must strive for self-improvement! We must work hard!

"Golden Core stage cultivation techniques! Clearance sale! Choose any one of these for ten low-grade spirit stones! Come and take a look!"

A disciple wearing patched clothes set up a stall by the roadside, enthusiastically hawking his wares.

He has been setting up his stall here for several weeks, but no one pays attention to him. The reason is simple: who would want a Golden Core stage cultivation technique?

Occasionally, some disciples from sects at the Golden Core stage would come over, glance at his cultivation technique, and shake their heads, indicating that they wouldn't even buy it if it were a dog.

Who still cares about Golden Core stage cultivation techniques? As a disciple of the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect, one should naturally prioritize cultivating Nascent Soul stage techniques!

With the resources of the Yuan Tian Holy Sect, advancing to the Nascent Soul stage is only a matter of time. If all else fails, the Spirit Medicine Hall will provide them with pills to forcefully boost their cultivation.

Choosing Yuantian Holy Sect is choosing the future. As the number one righteous sect in the world, guaranteeing the Nascent Soul stage is a basic operation.

But if he weren't poor, he wouldn't want to sell martial arts techniques here.

Without spirit stones, cultivation is impossible to make any progress!

"Golden Core cultivation technique, Lion-Tiger Shattering Cry Fist! When mastered to perfection, it's no less powerful than Nascent Soul cultivation techniques!"

"White Crane Spreads Wings Palm! It's ever-changing! It's even more promising than Nascent Soul stage techniques!"

"The Hundred Dragons Palm technique can conjure dragon roars! Each copy costs only ten low-grade spirit stones, take them all home!"

The disciple shouted loudly, but no one paid him any attention.

At most, they'd leave a comment like, "Are they idiots? A sect selling Nascent Soul cultivation techniques? Did they get their head stuck in a door? Would any fool buy it?"

Seeing the ridicule and mockery around him, the disciple lowered his head, sighed, and prepared to pack up and leave.

Let's look elsewhere, borrow some spirit stones to cover travel expenses, and find a lower-level sect to sell Golden Core stage cultivation techniques.

I've had such a terrible time lately, I'm never gambling on Lingma again.

Damn Richard! What a rip-off of a Western BMW! It's a total rip-off!

Anyone who shouts "Richard is the best in the world" again, he'll beat them up!

That's probably all for today; no one will buy his cultivation technique anymore.

"I want all of your cultivation techniques!"

A high-grade spirit stone was thrown in front of him, which startled him.

He looked up and saw a face covered in horrifying scars.

I was almost startled by him.

This person looks familiar, who is it?

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"No problem, senior brother, I'll wrap it up for you right away!"

As the disciple spoke, he wrapped up the Golden Core stage cultivation techniques and tied a neat knot when he finished.

Focus on one major.

"Senior brother, what is your purpose in buying these cultivation techniques?"

"Use it for cultivation."

"Use them for cultivation? Senior brother has good taste! Although these cultivation techniques are only for the Golden Core stage, they are all incredibly powerful! Most Nascent Soul stage cultivation techniques are inferior to them!"

"Understood. Take your spirit stones, I'll take my cultivation technique. Problem solved."

"Okay, okay! Here you go!"

Once he sees someone buying his Golden Core stage cultivation technique, he definitely won't ask any more questions. What if he drives the customer away?

We got spirit stones! What a steal!

"Senior brother, come again next time!"

The disciple waved to Lu An from behind, his face full of smiles.

After Lu Anyuan left, several disciples walked by and said, "Have you heard? The Spirit Horse competition is starting again! Richard has been trained by a famous horse trainer for a month this time, he's sure to win!"

"Richard is the best! Western horses are truly exceptional!"

As the disciples walked further and further away, their voices gradually faded, but the disciple was still drawn to them.

My hands... are starting to itch again, and I'm feeling conflicted.

"Damn it! Let's gamble! All in! Richard is the best!"

Lu An returned to Jade Void Peak, took out his cultivation manual, and was about to begin practicing.

I must face my own cultivation level squarely. In the past, I didn't care whether I read or not, but now I study it word by word!

There are quite a few secret manuals, and each one has a very imposing title!

"Lion Tiger Shattering Cry Fist, that's good! Although my goal is to become a sword cultivator, practicing fist techniques is also very important!"

He had previously heard from the sword cultivator elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect that the sword is an extension of the body, so those who are proficient in fist techniques can also switch to sword cultivation.

However, its powerful and heavy nature makes those skilled in fist techniques more suitable to switch to swordsmanship.

How many cultivators don't carry weapons? Carrying weapons is so cool!

Although fist cultivation is not a heretical or evil path, it is quite a niche practice!

Not only do you have to train your body, but you also have to practice boxing. You can't use weapons, and even with a muscular body, it's hard to find a partner.

I've heard that several senior Void Refinement stage fist cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Sect have been widowed for a thousand years.

Lu An flipped through the boxing manual and began to guide his internal energy into his body, practicing according to its contents.

Last time, when practicing the Azure Orchid Sword Technique, he couldn't even break a stone, which was really hurtful to his self-esteem. However, after some reflection, Lu An concluded that it was probably because he hadn't castrated himself.

This is probably why self-castration is necessary; otherwise, the so-called Qinglan Sword Technique would only have the aura but no real power.

I've been scammed again. You can't easily believe the so-called cultivation methods of powerful beings who have transcended tribulations.

He has so many tricks up his sleeve that it's really not easy for him to have a real skill to rely on.

Guiding Qi into the body is not difficult, but the methods are different, so the sensations are also different.

Spiritual energy enters the body, flowing into the eight extraordinary meridians, enhancing blood and strength. Divine sense is used to condense spells, which, in conjunction with weapons, transmit spiritual energy and unleash power. This is the cultivation method of cultivators who wield weapons.

For fist practitioners, it's even simpler; they can just concentrate their power in their hands.

Getting started wasn't difficult; with just a little effort, Lu An felt a warm, comforting power rising in his hand, along with a domineering aura.

It should be successful!

The two fists collided, producing a sound like a lion's roar and a tiger's howl.

Then Lu An looked at the stone he had stabbed with the Azure Orchid Sword Technique last time.

This time, we have to give it our all, right?

So Lu An began to hold his breath and concentrate, deciding to unleash his abilities as a Golden Core stage expert.

There is no master; I am the master!

I refuse to believe I'm destined to be a loser for life!

Lu An was resolute. Although he had only practiced for a short time, his aura, accompanied by the roar of a lion and the howl of a tiger, made it seem as if he was about to unleash a world-shaking punch!

Golden light condensed on Lu An's fist; it was fist energy solidified with spiritual energy and true essence!

boom!

As Lu An unleashed his punch, a deafening sound rang out.

Time passed by, minute by minute... and nothing changed.

This stone was even more stubborn than those old men from the sects, and it remained completely unmoved.

"Your cultivation level is still not high enough. How can you master it all at once?" Lu An sighed as he looked at the unresponsive stone.

If you want to speed, you can't reach it.

Although I can get the hang of it quickly every time, I can never deal any damage.

He's just a martial arts apprentice; he only knows the moves, not the internal energy.

"What would happen if it were combined with the Supreme Primordial Technique?"

Lu An, who originally intended to give up, suddenly came up with this idea.

So he silently recited the incantation of the Supreme Primordial Technique and circulated the two techniques within his body.
