Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 284: Chapter 140 Ziwei Star Number_2

The ancient profound ice that can freeze a Spirit Refining True Being and slow down the consumption of their lifespan, perfectly ensuring a Spirit Refining True Being can endure the Spirit Energy depletion period of three thousand years, is invaluable.

Of course, these are issues decades or even hundreds of years from now, and are unrelated to the current Shen Yuan.

His present objective is merely to exchange the ancient profound ice for the four-volume set of the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Method.

To him, the ancient profound ice is nothing more than an item that can be arbitrarily created with a certain amount of time and Elemental Qi. Conversely, bringing back the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Method to the future could yield huge profits for Shen Yuan if any of the Divine Skills are masterless.

Manager Wan naturally has no clue about Shen Yuan’s thoughts.

However, upon seeing Shen Yuan’s approving nod, Manager Wan finally sighed in relief and told Shen Yuan:

“This piece of ancient profound ice is invaluable. Our All-Things Trade Association is willing to purchase it at the price of five low grade spirit treasures.

The price for this four-volume set of the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Method is four low-grade spirit treasures. If you approve this transaction, I can allow you to choose any low-grade spirit treasure displayed in the All-Things Trade Association, or a spirit object of equivalent value.”

As he spoke, Manager Wan added:

“Of course, if you prefer spirit stones, our All-Things Trade Association can also compensate with two hundred thousand spirit stones.

However, many of the treasures in our association are consigned by other cultivators, and they do not support purchase with spirit objects. Thus, I would suggest that you directly choose a treasure.”

Manager Wan’s words seem like a normal transaction, but those in the know can infer that he intends to butter up Shen Yuan.

Normally, the price of a low-grade spirit treasure is about two hundred thousand spirit stones, but there is a difference among low grade spirit treasures. Some precious low grade spirit treasures can even fetch high prices up to three hundred thousand spirit stones.

Letting Shen Yuan freely choose a low-grade spirit treasure equates to giving Shen Yuan an advantage of more than a hundred thousand spirit stones, a move quite generous.

Shen Yuan naturally understood Manager Wan’s intentions and nodded in approval, responding with a smile:

“If that’s the case, let’s proceed with the transaction as Manager Wan has suggested.

There’s no need to make up the difference with spirit treasures. Instead, I would like Manager Wan to select some deducing and breath concealing techniques for me. Alternatively, widely-used high-ranking spells, or travel records and other reference materials about world knowledge would also do.”

Shen Yuan’s request made Manager Wan pause, but since Shen Yuan asked for it, he wouldn’t refuse. He promptly answered:

“The number of reference materials you’ve requested is quite large. I will immediately arrange for someone to retrieve them.”

After finishing his words, Manager Wan turned and headed toward the second floor.

For Shen Yuan, who already possesses the Darkness-Light Immortal Sword, an ordinary low-grade spirit treasure is of little use to him.

On the contrary, the knowledge that has yet to be lost in this era of cultivation is of more value to him.

Whether it’s the deducing and breath concealing techniques that Shen Yuan originally wanted to find, or the high-ranking spells commonly used in this era, all are precious knowledge that is hard to find in the future.

Even on the Dao Forum, there are only fragments of records. The real core inheritance is all kept within the sects, waiting for the prodigies to join the sects and then taught.

As for encyclopedic annals of world events, it is purely an impulsive idea of Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan, with the convenience of his future knowledge, has already gained a lot of benefits.

The tasks of being conferred by River Ji Dragon Sovereign, intimidating Yunmeng Dragon Palace, defeating the bearer of the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword, and even killing Kuang Tianjie, the master of the Blood River Yuan Slaughter Path, were surely suicidal missions tens of thousands of years ago.

But Shen Yuan in the future, using cunning methods, managed to complete these tasks successfully.

After dealing with numerous secret tasks, Shen Yuan found a characteristic of these tasks: the bigger the commotion, the better!

The bigger the incident, the easier it is to make one’s name known throughout the world tens of thousands of years ago, and the better the rewards provided by the secret tasks.

Shen Yuan’s purchase of encyclopedic annals of world events is to consult them on how to stir up big events to trigger secret tasks.

While Shen Yuan was pondering, Manager Wan, who had hurriedly descended from the second floor, now has a storage pouch in his hand. He came to the counter and took out the items in the storage pouch one by one.

Several jade strips were neatly placed on the counter, and at a glance, there were about seven. The top was flashing with the light of brilliant techniques.

Manager Wan reached out and introduced them to Shen Yuan:

“The value of the scrolls you requested isn’t high.

Among these spells, there are three high-ranking breath concealing techniques, as well as the Profound Supernatural Power of Unpredictability. If you can master this, even beings two realms higher would not be able to perceive your true cultivation level – the only drawback is that you will appear as an ordinary person to others.

The deducing methods include two high-ranking quality ones, as well as an extraordinary-level deducing Divine Skill evolved from the ‘Book of Hexagram Divination’.”

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly. The five high-ranking techniques, along with the Profound and Extraordinary Divine Skills that Manager Wan had taken out, already exceeded the value of a low-grade spirit treasure.

Then, Manager Wan took out several more jade strips from the storage pouch, as well as random items like scrolls and books.

“The high-ranking spell books are all quite common cultivation techniques, and the secret techniques of various sects are not recorded in them. I presume you should be aware of this key point.

As for the encyclopedic annals of world events, they are not written by Daoists. They are miscellaneous books and records from Heavenly Secret Pavilion, such as the ‘Top Ten Martial Arts Masters’, ‘Top Ten Beauties’, and ‘Seven Forbidden Places’.

These things are not very valuable, so I shall offer them as complimentary gifts to you.”
