Chapter 535: Chapter 508: Cultivation Technique
Inside the cave, the spiritual qi was abundant.
Upon discovering this place, Xu Lingjun immediately ordered Liu Shuang to return to the Imperial Capital, dispatch a large number of mining engineers to extract spirit stones!
This was a grand plan concerning the future of the entire Great Xia Empire for the next century, and thus could not be taken lightly.
Xu Lingjun also had him collect Carlos’ blood and send it back.
Carlos was not purely human but a modified human.
Moreover, he was a modified human so subtle that even Xu Lingjun did not sense anything abnormal...
In fact, it was only because his opponent was Xu Lingjun.
Otherwise, if it had been any other Grandmaster facing him, they might have already been outsmarted by him. Carlos likely knew the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, realizing that any sneak attack would ultimately be futile.
Hence, he decided to simply feign death.
Given that they were already enemies with the Blazing Snow Empire, this matter was of great importance.
It must be understood.
With both sides having comparable strength, if one were to be fearless and had a special physique, they would undoubtedly hold a significant advantage.
If there were many modified humans of this caliber, the Blazing Snow Empire might be harboring some dreadful conspiracy.
This must not be ignored.
As for Xu Lingjun, he did not return.
The spiritual qi in this cave was extraordinarily dense. Coming here felt akin to a lecher entering a brothel, or a gourmand entering a restaurant, his instincts compelling him to stay.
After handling all matters, Xu Lingjun sat cross-legged here and began cultivation.
Outside, the actions in Han Yun City were remarkably swift.
Three days later.
When Xu Lingjun habitually took out the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" again.
Sure enough, a system prompt appeared before his eyes.
[Detected Divine Demon Level Cultivation Technique "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique", do you wish to grant it genuine origin? Requires consumption of 20000 Source Value points!]
20000?!!
This was truly an unprecedented record high.
Xu Lingjun understood that the reason why the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" previously required merely 3000 Source Value points for grant was because this cultivation technique had been created by a martial arts expert who poured his heart and soul into it, only to find it impossible to cultivate successfully.
Thus, out of frustration, he sold it for 20 bucks... or wait... was it ten or twenty?
Time had blurred his memory.
But now...
Undoubtedly, after Xu Lingjun endowed this cultivation technique with new qualities, its potency rose once again, and this time, unlike the previous logical enhancement, it brutally and arbitrarily elevated a martial arts technique to a cultivation level.
Even though authenticity was achieved, such an illogical method naturally required a high consumption of Source Value.
Xu Lingjun hardly hesitated and directly chose to grant origin.
A massive amount of Source Value promptly fell below 20000+.
Xu Lingjun clutched his chest in pain.
Being so poor was unbearable; he couldn’t imagine how he had previously survived on just a few hundred Source Values.
I need to grant origin, I must do good deeds.
Yet the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" in his hand evidently underwent significant changes once again.
Xu Lingjun felt heartache for a moment, and once he recovered, he began to slowly peruse the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" once more.
The beginning showed no difference...
After all, when Xu Lingjun initially boasted, he had deliberately preserved the preceding alterations. Having trained with this technique, he naturally couldn’t go back and redo it, so he had to figure out solutions from the rear...
And when flipping to the subsequent parts.
Especially when reaching the Guiyuan Realm.
What Xu Lingjun saw again was indeed no longer the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" after being granted origin earlier, but a cultivation technique more profound and powerful.
If this cultivation technique remained a Divine Demon Level Technique earlier,
then by reaching the Guiyuan Realm, the technique’s realm was significantly elevated to an Immortal Saint Level.
Moreover, it was no longer a martial arts technique but a cultivation technique.
A genuine cultivation technique...
Xu Lingjun was captivated as he held the book; his current vast knowledge far surpassed what it had been, but precisely because of this, he could comprehend the mystical essence within the technique.
Even surpassing the Divine Demon Level Technique by far.
Were he to cultivate this technique...
How powerful could he become?
Xu Lingjun did not know, but he suddenly had a sense... perhaps, he might lead Blue Star out of this star realm?
Since the Blue Star’s arrival,
it has been constantly monitored by the mysterious races of the heavens, like a tightly-knit web ensnaring it.
But if this web were torn apart...
Who knows what kind of magnificence this star realm might reveal?
He was thinking too far ahead, too far ahead.
Xu Lingjun pondered deeply while holding the cultivation technique in his hands.
The technique had become stronger, at a level that made him feel overwhelming fear just by looking at it... or perhaps for the sake of his enemies.
This was not an ordinary technique; it bridged martial arts and Daoism, transitioning from martial to immortal, eliminating the usual flaws of a typical cultivator.
This was a perfect technique.
But due to its perfection, its dependence on spiritual qi had grown to an almost frightening extent.
Xu Lingjun had an instinctive feeling...
If he switched to cultivating the granted-origin technique now,
further cultivation advancement would leave him inescapably reliant on spirit stones and various heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
