Most of them were obscure, complicated, and unorthodox swordsmanship. These swordsmanship were not popular in the Nine Regions.
For example, there were very few such sword arts in the Sword Dao Sect's library. Chu Fengmian had never heard of many of them, so they could be integrated into the Nine Regions Sword Arts.
"I'll buy all the sword arts and sword manuals in the Empty Ring. How many Immortal Stones will it cost?"
Chu Fengmian looked at all the sword arts and came back to his senses. He closed the Empty Ring and asked the First Elder directly.
"Sect Master Chu needs all these sword arts?"
The First Elder was surprised to hear Chu Fengmian's words.
He thought Chu Fengmian just wanted to find a few rare sword arts to comprehend the Sword Dao. He did not expect Chu Fengmian to buy all the sword arts in one go.
A sword cultivator would cultivate at most ten sword arts in his life. The more sword arts he cultivated, the more distracted he would be.
Biting off more than one could chew was a fatal flaw, not only for sword cultivators, but also for any warrior.
For example, some powerful warriors and Demon Gods only cultivated a few Immortal Martial Arts and Immortal Arts. It was impossible for them to comprehend a large number of Immortal Martial Arts and Immortal Arts in one go.
Biting off more than one could chew.
The First Elder brought so many sword arts and sword manuals for Chu Fengmian to choose from. The Sword Dao Sect had been in the Nine Regions for tens of thousands of years. The number of sword arts and sword manuals collected was astronomical.
These sword arts and sword manuals were selected according to Chu Fengmian's wishes. They were rare, difficult to cultivate, and unique sword arts. There were more than ten thousand of them.
Chu Fengmian wanted to buy all of them in one go, which was beyond the First Elder's expectations.
However, the First Elder had dealt with countless businesses. After a short moment of surprise, he quickly reacted and said to Chu Fengmian.
"If you buy all of these sword arts, it will cost a total of ten thousand Immortal Stones."
The value of these 10,000 plus sword techniques varied. Some sword techniques were of extremely high quality, and they were worth a few tens of Immortal Stones or even over 100 Immortal Stones. On the other hand, some sword techniques were of low quality and were difficult to cultivate, so they couldn't be sold for a good price at all.
On average, it was about one Immortal Stone for one sword art.
"Alright, I'll buy all of them."
Chu Fengmian didn't bargain with the Great Elder. The items he sold were worth a total of 45,000 immortal stones. Even if he used these sword arts, Chu Fengmian could still get 35,000 immortal stones.
Actually, these sword techniques might not be worth 10,000 Immortal Stones to other sword cultivators because there was utterly no sword cultivator that would be willing to purchase so many sword techniques in one go and would only choose a few amongst them.
However, for Chu Fengmian, if he could comprehend all of the 10,000 Sword Principles and integrate them into the Nine Regions Sword Principle, the increase in his strength would definitely be much greater than the increase in his strength by swallowing and refining the 10,000 Immortal Stones.
Especially now, there was only one day left before Chu Fengmian went to the ruins of the Shang Sword Sect to compete for the inheritance.
Within this day, Chu Fengmian had to improve his strength as much as possible. These 10,000 swordsmanship manuals were exactly what Chu Fengmian needed. Therefore, Chu Fengmian did not bargain and simply bought them all.
"Sect Master Chu is forthright."
Seeing Chu Fengmian agree so readily, the Great Elder exclaimed in surprise. A transaction of 10,000 Immortal Stones was extremely rare in the Sky Piercing Pavilion.
At the very least, the elders of the Sky Piercing Pavilion had to be present to finalize such a transaction.
Furthermore, a transaction of this level would normally require several days of discussion, or even longer. It was indeed extremely rare for someone to agree so readily like Chu Fengmian.
"This is the Sky Piercing Pavilion's Sky Golden Token. In the future, Sect Master Chu will be an esteemed guest of the Sky Piercing Pavilion. As long as you wish to make a transaction with the Sky Piercing Pavilion, the elders of the Sky Piercing Pavilion will come and make the transaction with you."
The Great Elder took out a golden token and handed it to Chu Fengmian. The two words "Sky Piercing" were engraved on the token.
The two words were extremely charming and emitted a ray of light that shot straight to the nine heavens, as if it really had the power to reach the heavens.
Those two words had definitely been written by an extremely powerful existence. Chu Fengmian could even sense the aura of the expert who had written those two words back then.
"The aura of the Profound Heaven Realm. The person who wrote the two words on the token must be an Immortal Marquis at the very least."
Chu Fengmian exclaimed in his heart. The spiritual power of the two words "Heaven Piercing" on the token hadn't dissipated yet. This proved that this token had been refined recently.
It wasn't something that had been left behind from ancient times.
The person who wrote the two words was definitely a Profound Heaven Realm expert. At the very least, their strength was far above the Great Elder's.
"The Sky Piercing Pavilion actually has such an expert? They actually have a Profound Heaven Realm expert?"
Chu Fengmian was astonished. When he first met the Great Elder, he thought that the Great Elder was already one of the strongest people in the Sky Piercing Pavilion.
But now, it seemed that there was always a sky beyond the sky and a person stronger than the Great Elder in the Sky Piercing Pavilion.
The foundation of the Sky Piercing Pavilion was indeed not inferior to the seven great sects. Chu Fengmian had to be incomparably cautious.
"Many thanks, Great Elder."
Chu Fengmian didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the golden token.
Since the Sky Piercing Pavilion had such a foundation and the Great Elder had personally come today with the intention of befriending Chu Fengmian, Chu Fengmian also went with the flow and befriended the Sky Piercing Pavilion.
The major factions of the nine regions and the seven great sects were definitely Chu Fengmian's mortal enemies.
Chu Fengmian and the seven great sects would fight sooner or later, but because of the upheaval in the nine regions and the arrival of countless experts from outer space, the battle had been delayed.
But in the near future, Chu Fengmian would definitely fight the seven great sects.
Moreover, Chu Fengmian also wanted to rope in the various factions. He was willing to become the Dragon Lord of the Blue Dragon Sect because he wanted to rope in the Blue Dragon Sect.
However, compared to the seven great sects, a faction like the Blue Dragon Sect was still too small. Whether it was strength or foundation, it was far inferior.
However, the Sky Piercing Pavilion was different. The foundation of the Sky Piercing Pavilion was definitely not inferior to any of the seven great sects. If Chu Fengmian could rope in the Sky Piercing Pavilion, it would be much easier for him to deal with the seven great sects.
Of course, Chu Fengmian also knew that a faction like the Sky Piercing Pavilion wouldn't be easy to rope in. The Sky Piercing Pavilion was even older than the seven great sects and had always maintained a neutral position. That was why the Sky Piercing Pavilion had always been able to survive and prosper in the nine regions.
