Chapter 455: Chapter 308: Cultivation Skills (4K)_2
The two Remnant Souls were purchased from a Mysterious Merchant, and Mu Yuan had originally planned to use them himself, but now that the Secret Realm had reconnected, and he had opened the trading channel with the outside, using them himself seemed like a waste.
He didn’t lack two Superior Grade troops, but these two Remnant Souls could potentially be traded for something he truly needed.
‘It’s a pity I didn’t know the Secret Realm would reconnect so soon; otherwise, I would have gritted my teeth and bought one or two Superior Three-star Remnant Souls.’
‘The attraction of a Superior Three-star Remnant Soul is far greater than that of an Excellent One-star, enough to make many Great Lords tempted.’
‘However, when considering the value of a Superior Three-star Remnant Soul, the market at Elf’s Courtyard seems a bit too small.’
In the end, these two precious Remnant Souls didn’t sell.
No Lord could come up with a treasure of similar value.
Mu Yuan wasn’t regretful, “I will have a hero stay stationed here in the Secret Realm for a long time. If any Lord obtains a suitable treasure, they can trade with me here anytime.”
He was only casting out a bait.
With this bait, the buyers would inevitably put more effort into finding the treasures he needed, including Epic Level remains.
Only then did the trading gathering come to a satisfactory conclusion, and the Lords left content. However, many kept casting frequent glances his way, making Mr. Mu feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Is having two Superior Remnant Souls worth such a fuss?
Afterward, Mu Yuan continued to shoot the breeze with the Lords he was more familiar with, as Jiang chatted extensively about his glorious achievements.
“Thinking back to that day, I was so brave that I just stabbed at the tribal Chieftain with a spear. I stabbed him so hard he howled… Under my lead, we achieved one glorious battle after another.”
Subtracting 90% of the boastful content, Jiang Luoxing was indeed fierce.
Their progress this term far surpassed previous terms. And now, Jiang Luoxing ranked among the top ten among his peers.
“Boss Tianyuan, your victories must be remarkable too.”
“Well, I just happened to encounter a surviving force from a former civilization and sniped a powerful enemy, that’s all.”
“A force from a former civilization? That’s as rare as pandas; I’d really like to see that.”
“It’s nothing special. Forces like the Holy Griffon Empire, Star Luo Holy Palace, Qisuo Anta Federation, and so on have been handed down since ancient times. It’s just that they aren’t remnants; they are Great Nation-level Forces that have preserved themselves very intact.”
But these forces were too remote for them. Lords and powerful beings from the other Six Great Nations rarely had the chance to encounter them, let alone those in more central and safer regions of the continent.
For most people, including Lords, their understanding of nations like the Holy Griffon Empire came from very limited texts.
Mu Yuan didn’t know much either; he only remembered the grand scene of angels lining up when a major figure from the Holy Griffon Empire visited the Dragon Courtyard a few months ago.
Someday, I too will arrange for a Giant Dragon to cover the skies.
Before leaving, Mu Yuan entrusted Liu Miumiu to purchase some materials needed for the Legendary Realm breakthrough. Such materials were usually available in larger cities, so procurement wasn’t difficult.
“Legendary Breakthrough Material?!”
“Just making preparations in advance. If I have extra money, I’ll prepare more—it’s always good to be cautious, just in case the Secret Realm’s channel is cut off again; we won’t be caught anxious, right?”
The others had a moment of realization.
It’s no wonder he’s the Tianyuan Giant, such detailed future planning, even beginning preparations for the distant Legendary Realm breakthrough well ahead of time. It’s no surprise he stands far above them, where they can’t even catch a glimpse of his back.
They still had so much to learn.
But just now, they actually had the ridiculous thought… the absurd idea that ‘Could the Tianyuan Giant be close to breaking through to the Legendary Realm?’
How preposterous!
How could they conceive such an idea?
Mu Yuan gave Liu Miumiu a sum of money and a fee for the procurement service. For him, it didn’t matter who he entrusted the task to; of course, it was more reliable to entrust it to someone familiar, and let none other than friends profit from it.
Jiang Luoxing’s expression was a mix of grievance and bemusement.
To be honest, Mu Yuan had initially planned to entrust Jiang, since he was swift with errands, but…
“Hasn’t your territory also shifted outward? Now, it’s not so easy for you to travel to key regional towns, is it?”
Emmmmm you’re right, boss, but still, it’s frustrating!
I’m supposed to be the number one lackey of Boss Tianyuan!
Mu Yuan sent Jiang Luoxing a red envelope and asked him to continue collecting information—any and all news, big or small, he was not picky. When it came to staying well-informed, Jiang could leave Liu Miumiu, that homebody, far behind.
“If you can get some more powerful intelligence, I will give you a Three-star Remnant Soul in a few months.”
He said.
Jiang Luoxing: “!!!”
“Cough cough, I’m not particularly craving for a Remnant Soul, but I, Jiang, will definitely get the job done as per your orders, Boss.”
He pondered for a moment and then said, “I’ve also asked friends to inquire about the situation in Shiling Town, but the information is not flowing smoothly these days, so I only know the general situation.”
“It’s said that Shiling Town has also been relocated, but for now, there are no major issues, and some big shots from the Pioneer Group are rushing to Shiling Town…”
…
In the central area of Shiling Town.
On the third floor of the ‘Cultivate Heart Pavilion,’ a Superior Grade cultivation building, a woman with a high ponytail and wearing a snug outfit sits with her eyes closed.
Around her, arrows gleaming with pale blue starlight move in mysterious trajectories, seemingly in harmony with some profound principles, mysterious and beautiful.
She is Seventeen, practicing the ‘Heart Power.’
Seventeen, in her God Archer stage, awakened the talent ‘Mind Arrow.’ In the ranks of Superior Grade soldiers, this talent would be deemed quite high-class – rare, excellent, and practical. But among the category of Epic Lives, a talent like Mind Arrow would be considered rather common.
This type of common talent, a certain general had awakened at least ten of.
But Seventeen had an exceptional gift for the Tao of the Soul, and she had maximized and transcended the potential of Mind Arrow very early on. With this as her foundation, she had pried open the gate to the Tao of the Soul.
However, the Tao of the Soul is difficult to enter, master, and advance in. Seventeen, considering herself slow-witted, could only keep practicing and exploring, stumbling forward as she progressed.
Latterly, she temporarily assumed the position of ‘Offering’ in Shiling Town, which allowed her to freely use the town’s cultivation buildings.
The message inside the Brocade Bag given by Lord said, “We will take action when the time is critical, so use these Miracle Buildings as needed, it’s all a reasonable reward. What you need to do is enhance your strength as much as possible, as some things can only be done with sufficient power.”
After some thought, she agreed.
If she were already a legend, could she go and find the Great Lord?
Thus, Seventeen kept training. Thanks to the ‘super abundant’ cultivation gift pack from Mayor Cui Long, her progress was swift. She only felt that using the cultivation resources of ten or dozens of people on herself was too wasteful. She wanted to take them back and give them to her brothers and sisters, but remembering the words in the Brocade Bag from Lord, she still trained with all her might.
As an Officially heavily-invested frontline important town, not only does Shiling Town possess strong defensive capabilities, it also has many cultivation buildings.
All these are investments by the Officials.
Given time, Shiling Town could very well become the second Pan Shi City.
The Cultivate Heart Pavilion is the highest-level cultivation building in Shiling Town, providing benefits like Advanced Concentration, Soul Cleansing, and Insight Enhancement. It can be used by the strong to learn and practice skills and also help with breakthroughs.
For Seventeen, the most significant effect of Cultivate Heart Pavilion was that it strengthened her Heart Power.
So, she began to cultivate her heart while she trained.
After repeating the training and refining it hundreds of times, Seventeen gradually figured out a set of Heart Cultivation methods suitable for herself.
— Heartprint Engraving Method.
Using the arrow as her pen, she outlined mysterious patterns, engraving pictures under the invisible heavens and earth. Throughout the process, she had to control the arrows with her heart power.
Heart power usually cannot interfere with reality, but thanks to this Miracle Building, and her connection with the Starlight Arrows and the Ten Thousand Arrows Treasure, Seventeen turned the impossible possible.
Every time she completed an engraving, her heart strength would noticeably increase by a fraction.
As though there were no limits.
Her practice was not smooth, but full of bumps. Sometimes, if the final stroke was off, the whole cultivation process was in vain.
When she successfully engraved ten Heartprint drawings in a row, she seemed to reach a new level of enlightenment.
Meanwhile,
Just as Lord Shepherd stepped out the Secret Realm’s Gate, two notifications rang in his ears.
‘Notice: You have paid a total of 65.9 Soul Crystals for cross-realm taxes.’
‘Notice: Your soldier Seventeen has created her own cultivation skill ‘Heartprint Engraving.’
Damn… Oh?
