Chapter 244: The New Nine Techniques

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: The New Nine Techniques

Although he had guessed that the Magic Doors were expensive, Wang Zijia was still startled by the price. It could also be due to the fact that all the Magic Door techniques collected by the Scripture Pavilion were of high quality, but judging by these prices, even the most ordinary second grade Magic Door wouldn’t be less than several tens of thousands of Magic money, right?

Given this situation, Wang Zijia certainly needed to test how much it would cost to create a Magic Door himself!

"This disciple needs a foundational spell for the Artifact Path, preferably one from the spear sequence, something that can anchor life utensils." Having said this, Wang Zijia, looking at his sole point of merit, added, "A forbidden technique would be best!"

[Dao Child privileges from the Scripture Pavilion allow a comprehensive search of first-class techniques, conditions satisfactory, initiate search!]

As the light clusters in the sky rolled, slowly, several light screens appeared before Wang Zijia.

Technique: Fire God Demon Flame Spear

Level: First-Class Advanced

Affiliation: Tao Law Court Fire Spirit Vein.

Dao Kung: 1500

Overview: The core inheritance of the Taoist Law Court’s spear artifact path, which can concentrate the power of the Nine Techniques to condense a tool and produce sky-covering demonic flames. It can also condense a life utensil by which merging a person and a spear can create an unmatched domineering presence.

······

Technique: Lava Spirit Gun

Level: First-Class Advanced

Affiliation: Artifact Academy.

Dao Kung: 1500

Overview: A core technique in Taoist Fire-Earth path, part of the core Arts in the life-utensils School. With this art as a foundation, and the integration of the Nine Arts, it can achieve a spirit gun that can kill enemies thousands of miles away with just a finger.

······

Examining various Secret Inherences and forbidden techniques, each effect was very powerful, and all of them could become the core of the Nine Techniques.

But Wang Zijia had been choosing for a long time and was still not completely satisfied.

The main reason was that these techniques were not fundamentally different from his already known Melting Crystal Earth Spirit Gun Technique. If he were to choose these, he might as well make the Melting Crystal Earth Spirit Gun Technique the foundation.

Without a trace of impatience, Wang Zijia continued to narrow down the restrictive conditions, filtering once more.

After a while, Wang Zijia’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Technique: Separation Technique

Level: First-Class Advanced

Affiliation: Artifact Academy.

Dao Kung: 2000

Merit: 1

Overview: Significant forbidden technique in the core of artifact cultivation, of a particularly challenging nature. This is a core technique that was developed by the "All-Swords Return" school of swordsmanship. However, due to its special compatibility, any artifact cultivator could practice it, and start on a journey of making thousands of artifacts from one. Those who have mastered it can transform one artifact into thousands of artifacts, having all artifacts converge into a raging ocean.

Remark: To practice this technique and complete the Magic Door consolidation, it must be accompanied by the Secret Inheritances: Refining Technique, Splitting Technique, Control Technique, with these four providing the foundation, in combination with relevant artifact paths, it can condense the spells into a Life Utensil.

Looking at this technique, Wang Zijia did not hesitate to choose the Separation Technique and also chose the accompanying Refining Technique, Splitting Technique, and Control Technique.

That’s because he felt that the Earth Spear Spirit Arrow Technique, Melting Crystal Earth Spirit Gun Technique, and Melting Crystal Earth Spike Technique that he had already learned were very suitable for them, and together they could construct a Magic Door. With these techniques and Essence Blood Spirit Escape, he now had Eight Techniques.

In the course of his thoughts, he carefully searched the repository again, taking a long time to select another miraculous technique.

Technique: Explosion Technique

Level: First-Class Advanced

Affiliation: Artifact Academy.

Dao Kung: 1300

Summary: A basic spell of the disposable artifact crafting school that works in conjunction with the corresponding refining art, allowing the creation of special instruments. Its effects far surpass those of the same grade, but most are for one-time use.

Once he’s decided on the five techniques, adding to the four he already possesses, he had the foundation of the magic door he needed to congeal and absorb when he breaks through to the mid-stage.

[Five arts total 7800 Dao Kung, Merit:1, Dao Child needs to pay 80% of Dai Kung, which totals to: 6240, Merit: 1.]

Wang Zijia checked his Dao Kung balance and asked, "Can I owe you some?"

[Dao Children of this vein can owe up to a hundred thousand Dao Kung. If not repaid after ten years, a compulsory task will be activated until repaid in full!]

"Then first deduct the Dao Kung, and I’ll owe the rest," Wang Zijia said.

[Deducting Dao Kung: 4843, Merit:1, Current Debt: 1397, starting the initial debt countdown, until fully repaid. Midway debt will not reset the initial debt time. Ten years later, the compulsory repayment process will start, please be aware!]

······

With the five new techniques in hand, Wang Zijia left the Scripture Pavilion and returned to the Biyi Court.

Because today is the last day before departure, Xiang Feifei didn’t go to work in the afternoon, and she was busy with the final inventory check.

He asked her to exchange over a thousand Dao Kung from clan channels. Because the demand was small, the entire family contributed, and in no time he had everything he needed. He couldn’t possibly owe such a small amount of Dao Kung!

Magic Money: 9146

Dao Kung: 0

Merit: 0

Thus, Wang Zijia had completed all the preparations for departure.

Looking at the remaining Magic money, Wang Zijia pondered for a moment, then went back to Southward Street, and scoured the market for two to three thousand Magic money worth of spiritual materials. It was not until he was busy until it was pitch dark that Wang Zijia finished packing up.

······

Early the next morning, everyone got up early to do the final inventory check to see if anything had been left out.

Because they had prepared all day yesterday, there was actually nothing to do this morning.

After messing around all morning and roughly estimating the time, Wang Zijia led the three girls, under the watchful eyes of the two maids, and took the flying shuttle to the Administrative Office at the foot of Qifeng Mountain.

Because Wang Zijia had estimated the time beforehand, it was not too early now, the morning sun had already risen above the horizon, golden sunlight spread across the earth, everything was full of vitality.

When Wang Zijia arrived at the main square of the Administrative Office, the ten teams ready to depart that day had already been waiting for a while.

Wang Zijia came to the middle of the square, in front of the team he was leading. The nearly thousand-member team was already in place, and Senior Brother Lei, who was also in charge of this team, was already present. Apart from the people from the Formation Institute, only Wang Zijia was missing.

Looking at this scene, Wang Zijia recalled the scene when he had gone to the Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain before. However, in just half a year, he had gone from being a member of the crowd to being a key head of team leader.

"Apologies for keeping Senior Brother Lei waiting!" Wang Zijia descended and spoke to the other Wine Monk leading the team.

"I’ve only just arrived too!" Lei Junjie responded with a smile.

"······"

Through the five days of training previously, the two were quite familiar with each other. Chatting about random things, they both intended to foster stronger relationships as they were going to work together for at least half a year.

Down below, hundreds of disciples waited in silence, not exchanging a single whisper.

After about seven minutes, or a bit past nine o’clock, ten huge Magic-driven chariots flew down from the Qifeng.

"They’re here! They’re here!"

"So, this is the Ascending Immortal Ship!"

"So grand!"

"No kidding, that’s a top-notch spirit tool, and a large flight war spiritual tool, ready to rush to the battlefield at any moment. How could it not be impressive!"
