Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 202, Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique

However, within these three thousand years, the Spirit Gathering Pavilion has always developed in a low-profile manner. Regardless of the time, it has consistently maintained a neutral stance, which is one of the reasons it has survived for three millennia.

Passing through the crowd, it didn’t take long for Chu Ming and Lin Yue’Er to arrive before a towering building. The structure was grand and magnificent, with martial artists coming and going, each busy with their own affairs.

Crossing the threshold, Chu Ming and Lin Yue’Er entered the main hall. With no one to greet them, neither minded, as Lin Yue’Er had already introduced Chu Ming to the details of the Spirit Gathering Pavilion on their way here.

The Spirit Gathering Pavilion primarily operates a free trading market. Here, martial artists can trade items or engage in buying and selling. However, for each transaction, a commission of five percent of the item’s value is required, paid by the seller. Although the conditions are stringent, the items purchased in the Treasure Pavilion are all verified, ensuring there are no counterfeits.

"The cultivation techniques should be over there!"

Lin Yue’Er pointed to the left side of the main hall, pondering as she spoke.

Chu Ming nodded slightly and walked towards the left side, with Lin Yue’Er closely following behind. Chu Ming glanced around and found that the items for sale were varied and bizarre, including weapons, armor, and even demon beast cubs.

However, the prices here were slightly higher than outside, as sellers had to pay a five percent commission to the Spirit Gathering Pavilion upon completing a transaction. This commission was eventually passed on to the buyer. freewёbnoνel-com

After walking a few steps, Chu Ming saw numerous cultivation techniques on sale.

"Celestial Essence Technique," Yellow Level Top Tier Cultivation Technique, twenty thousand lower grade spirit stones.

"Red Flame Technique," Profound Level Low Tier Cultivation Technique, forty thousand lower grade spirit stones or three thousand five hundred middle grade spirit stones.

"Black Jade Technique," Profound Level Low Tier Cultivation Technique.....

Chu Ming’s gaze swept over and discovered that within a hundred steps, hundreds of cultivation techniques were displayed. The lowest level among them were Yellow Level Top Tier techniques, while the highest were a few Profound Level Top Tier techniques, demanding exorbitant amounts of spirit stones.

Honestly speaking, Chu Ming was quite wealthy now. He had killed many martial artists along the way, and had plundered numerous storage rings. The accumulated spirit stones amounted to roughly three million lower grade spirit stones, with more than nine thousand middle grade spirit stones, most of which were obtained from the Skull Society.

Chu Ming didn’t stop his steps, walking directly to the shelf displaying the Profound Level Top Tier techniques. Although they were placed on the shelf, martial artists couldn’t touch them at all, as the shelf was completely protected by a layer of Vajra Glass, which even a Guiyuan Realm martial artist could not destroy.

Seeing Chu Ming walk to the Profound Level Top Tier techniques, Lin Yue’Er’s eyes revealed a look of surprise but she didn’t say anything.

"Purple Qi Infinite Skill, Profound Level Top Tier Cultivation Technique, divided into eight layers. Reaching the Third Layer, one can condense a purple spirit flower above their head. Reaching the Fifth Layer, one can condense two purple spirit flowers. Reaching the Eighth Layer, one can condense three purple spirit flowers, unleashing twice the power instantly."

"Vast Sea Bright Moon Technique, Profound Level Top Tier Cultivation Technique, divided into seven layers. Achieving mastery results in boundless spiritual power. The highest level, the Seventh Layer, can condense surrounding water spirit power, enhancing the power of techniques."

"Thunderous Profound Qi Technique, Profound Level Top Tier Cultivation Technique, divided into six layers. Achieving mastery in the first four layers results in extremely fast body technique, increasing sensitivity to air currents. Achieving perfection in the Sixth Layer bestows the power of thunder, paralyzing those hit."

After reading through three techniques, Chu Ming sighed inwardly. As expected of Profound Level Top Tier techniques, each was incredibly powerful and incomparable with Profound Level Middle Tier techniques, each having its unique characteristics.

If there were only these three techniques, he would choose the "Thunderous Profound Qi Technique." This technique enhances lightweight skills and adds the power of thunder to attacks in the later stages, dramatically boosting his strength.

However, Chu Ming didn’t make an immediate choice, as there might be better techniques he hadn’t seen yet. "Purple Qi Infinite Skill" was priced at two hundred fifty thousand lower grade spirit stones, or twenty-three thousand middle grade spirit stones.

"Vast Sea Bright Moon Technique" was priced at two hundred forty thousand lower grade spirit stones, or twenty-three thousand middle grade spirit stones.

"Thunderous Profound Qi Technique" was priced at two hundred sixty thousand lower grade spirit stones, or twenty-five thousand middle grade spirit stones.

From this, it was clear that as one’s strength increased, the demand for middle grade spirit stones gradually rose.

There were a total of eight Profound Level Top Tier techniques. Chu Ming skimmed through them, continuously scanning the descriptions.

These techniques were actually all quite good, each with its strengths. Some restored spiritual power quickly, suitable for prolonged battles. Others had explosive power, apt for swift victories. Some excelled in defense, fitting for martial artists who preferred head-on clashes, while others had unique effects, like the Profound Water True Skill’s Profound Water Aura, making it difficult for enemies to move, and the Shifting Flower and Wood Technique, which redirected the force of attacks.

As he was about to finish looking at all the Profound Level Top Tier techniques, Chu Ming finally found one that he was very satisfied with.

"Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique, Profound Level Top Tier Cultivation Technique, divided into seven layers. The first four layers focus on nurturing sharp spiritual power. The Fifth Layer can generate Sword Essence Gang Qi, making it easy to kill someone within ten steps. The Sixth Layer strengthens further, developing Protective Spirit Essence, integrating offense and defense. The highest level, the Seventh Layer, consolidates all spiritual power into one, nurturing Lifebound Sword Essence in the dantian, triggering attacks effortlessly, killing enemies within a hundred meters."

"This is it!"

Chu Ming’s eyes lit up. The "Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique" was undoubtedly perfect for him, especially reaching the Seventh Layer, which could nurture Lifebound Sword Essence, a hidden trump card that could deliver a deadly strike at a crucial moment.

However, the price of the "Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique" was the highest among these techniques, exceeding three million lower grade spirit stones, reaching a total of three hundred ten thousand lower grade spirit stones.

"I want to buy this technique!"

An attendant from the Spirit Gathering Pavilion passed by Chu Ming and was immediately called over by him. The attendant glanced at the "Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique" and respectfully said to Chu Ming, "The transaction amount is too large; I can’t make the decision. I’ll call the steward."

"Hmm."

Chu Ming nodded indifferently and stood there waiting. At this moment, Lin Yue’Er, standing behind Chu Ming, was completely stunned. Chu Ming had come to this area merely to broaden his knowledge, but in such a short time, he had decided to spend three million lower grade spirit stones.

Three million lower grade spirit stones—Lin Yue’Er had never seen so many spirit stones. Though the Lin Family was a clan in Black Dragon City and had a Guiyuan Realm ancestor, their total spirit stones likely amounted to two million. However, that was the family’s public assets, and she could only control about ten thousand lower grade spirit stones.
