‘Even though it will cost a lot of Qi to use this technique to its full potential, I don’t think I will really need all 10,000 ghost weapons. 100 is already more than enough, much less 10,000.’ After pondering for some time, Yuan decided to pick up the Ten Thousand Ghost Blades technique.
Of course, there were still many more techniques that he could choose from, so he continued looking through all available techniques.
In the end, Yuan couldn’t find another technique that was more interesting than the Ten Thousand Ghost Blades, so he decided to just save his free techniques for another time.
“Have you found any suitable techniques yet?” Yuan asked Chu Liuxiang after returning to them.
“I have about ten more techniques to go through, but I found two that I am interested in. I’ll see which one I like better later,” she said.
Yuan nodded his head and waited for her to finish.
Sometime later, Chu Liuxiang placed all of the techniques that she wasn’t interested in aside to look at the two techniques that she found interesting.
“I need some advice on which technique I should get.” Chu Liuxiang said to them.
“The first technique is called Everlasting Ice Field. It is an area of effect technique that can slow and even immobilize my opponents.”
“The second technique is called Glacial Ice Dragon. I can create an ice dragon using my internal energy and attack my enemies with it. They’re both Heaven-rank techniques, too. I really like both of them, making it difficult for me to decide…”
Yuan smiled and said, “Do you even need to decide? If you like both of them, just take both.”
“Really? You don’t mind?”
“I still have 14 free techniques, 12 if we count yours. That’s more than enough even if I give a free technique to everyone within the faction.” Yuan nodded.
“Thank you, Yuan!” Chu Liuxiang was all smiles at this moment.
“The most important thing is that you have something to protect yourself. Anyways, now that we have our techniques, are we ready to leave?”
Everyone there nodded.
After returning to the first floor, Yuan handed the young man the three techniques.
“One Divine-rank and two Heaven-rank techniques. Give me a moment to log it down.”
The young man handed the techniques back to them a few moments later.
“You’re all set. If you need anything else, just ask.”
“That’s it?” Chu Liuxiang was dumbfounded by how easy it was to acquire such powerful techniques.
Min Li was also speechless. The Min Family would’ve needed to shell out tens of thousands of spirit stones for a single Heaven-rank technique, yet Yuan received 2 for free, not even mentioning the Divine-rank technique.
‘Just what kind of background does he really have?’ Min Li thought to herself.
Yuan and the others left the Myriad of Techniques shortly after receiving their new techniques.
“What now?” Chu Liuxiang asked.
“I am going to find an Array Master who can help me unseal the spatial rings and storage pouches that I picked up from the Gu Family,” said Yuan.
“Young Master, why don’t you do it yourself? You learned how to use arrays during one of the trials in the Stairway to Heaven, right? It will not only be much cheaper, it will also be much more convenient for you.” Feng Yuxiang suggested.
“You’re right… But where do I learn how to do something like that? I only know a few basic arrays from the book Huang Xiao Li gave me.”
“There should be an Array Masters’ Association somewhere in this city or another city. You can pay them to teach you arrays, or you can simply buy array techniques from them.”
“Alright, let’s ask around.”
Thus, they began asking the pedestrians there.
Luckily for them, they found someone who had the information they wanted within minutes.
“The Array Masters’ Association cannot be found in this city, but if you go to South Wing City, you will find them.”
“Thank you for this information.”
Now that they have this information, they need to head to this South Wing City.
Unfortunately, neither of them knew where to go, so they went to a nearby general store to buy a map of Spirit Heaven.
“This is a map? People really like putting information inside jade slips, huh.” Yuan looked at the jade slip in his hand and realized this fact.
“Well, they’re convenient since you can fit a lot of information inside a jade slip, kind of like spatial rings.” Feng Yuxiang said.
“How does it even work? Putting information inside this small thing.” Yuan asked.
“I’m not exactly sure, but the inside of that jade slip has its own dimension, sort of like a spatial ring, but you cannot put anything physical inside, so they put information that can only be seen if you are cultivators.”
Yuan nodded, “I think I understand. Anyway, I don’t really know how to read maps, so here you go.”
He handed the map to Feng Yuxiang.
After taking a moment to study the map, Feng Yuxiang said, “Okay, I know where to go.”
They left the city shortly after.
Since neither Min Li nor Chu Liuxiang could fly, Yuan carried them using his Qi Manipulation.
“Are flying treasures expensive? I am thinking about buying a few so that Meixiu, Lulu, and the others can also fly by themselves.” Yuan asked as they traveled.
“It really depends on what type of flying treasures you want. But if you ask me, while they are definitely not cheap, they should be affordable for you, Young Master.” Feng Yuxiang said.
“Alright. I am going to look at them after I sell the Blood Sect’s treasures.” Yuan nodded.
About four hours later, Feng Yuxiang stopped moving.
“We have arrived at South Wing City, Young Master.”
“That tall building must be the Array Masters’ Association. I can see their array symbols all the way from here.” Yuan mumbled.
Even though the building itself didn’t look that conspicuous, it was more than obvious to someone like Yuan, who can see array symbols.
