"A single manual for two Transcendent Mortal 8-dan inner cores?"
"If he really succeeds, he will be rich …"
"Indeed. In any case, he's only going to look through it once, so it doesn't matter whether the manual is unique or not. Tomorrow, I'll make a few copies of our Cosmos Bridge realm cultivation technique manuals and send them over!"
"I'll go as well!"
…
Hearing Zhang Xuan's promise, the crowd burst into a frenzy once more. There were even some who hurriedly gathered around the two lucky winners to see what kind of cultivation technique had caught Zhang shi's eye.
"Let's go!"
Ignoring the excited crowd, Zhang Xuan nodded to Hong Shi before leaping onto the back of the aerial beast and heading back.
Seeing how Zhang Xuan was leaving while they could only sit on the ferry, the crowd couldn't help but feel envious.
There was indeed a huge gap between people!
This was especially so for Senior Feng and the young man. They were on the verge of tears.
They had come here with the intention of selling their goods, but who would have thought that everyone would be attracted by Zhang Shi? Their goods had been on display for an entire day, but not a single person had bothered to look at them …
They felt so stifled that they could spurt blood.
Seeing Zhang Xuan and the others leaving, they could only return to the Scholarly Ocean with their tails between their legs. This was too much of a blow for them … This had happened three times in a row. If this were to continue, they might just knock their heads against the wall and die here …
…
Returning to his residence, Zhang Xuan cultivated the Consonant Spirit realm Heaven's Path Divine Art once more so that the zhenqi in his body would be purer and more stable. After which, he sorted out the cultivation technique manual and imparted it to his students.
At this moment, Wang Ying had also awoken from her breakthrough. Her body was brimming with energy.
Seeing that she had taken the lead once more, Zheng Yang, Liu Yang, and the others hurriedly tried to catch up.
Their teacher had a total of six direct disciples. Zhao Ya and Lu Chong had already left, and now, Yuan Tao had gone to a powerful clan to receive his heritage. If they didn't hurry up, they would really be the last in line!
Knowing how they were feeling, Zhang Xuan explained the flaws of each of them in detail.
By the time he was done, it was already midnight.
The next day, Zhang Xuan headed to the trade fair once more. This time, the crowd had prepared quite a few Cosmos Bridge realm cultivation technique manuals for the trade.
Just like yesterday, Zhang Xuan casually chose a book to pique the enthusiasm of the crowd. At other times, he would say that it wasn't suitable for him and frantically search through the books in his head.
In less than two days, he had already collected more than seven hundred books. While he was still unable to compile a complete Heaven's Path Divine Art, there was still hope for him.
After a day of hard work, they agreed to exchange three Transcendent Mortal 8-dan inner cores for a copy of the book, and the excitement of the crowd grew once more.
As tempting as Zhang Xuan was, the number of Cosmos Bridge realm cultivation technique manuals he could offer was dwindling.
After all, most of them were geniuses from Tier-2 Empires. While Cosmos Bridge realm cultivation wasn't too high in Tier-1 Empires, in their country, it was already close to reaching the pinnacle. Even if they had secret manuals, there wouldn't be too many of them.
Thus, after a whole day of hard work on the third day, there were only less than two hundred books.
There were more than 200 books in addition to the previous 700 plus books. He was not far from 1,000.
If the cultivation technique manuals were of a sufficiently high level, he would be able to compile several hundred books into a complete Heaven's Path Divine Art. Just as Zhang Xuan was about to gather all of the cultivation technique manuals together to see if he could succeed, an expectant voice suddenly sounded.
"I don't have any cultivation technique manuals, but I do have a battle technique manual … What do you think?"
Raising his head, Zhang Xuan saw a young man looking at him expectantly. "I am really in need of a Transcendent Mortal 8-dan inner core …"
"Battle technique manual?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before asking, "What kind of battle technique is it? Let me take a look! "
"Alright!"
The young man flicked his wrist, and an ancient bamboo scroll appeared in his hand. It was an ancient book, and with just a glance, it was apparent that it had been there for many years.
"This is a movement technique manual, just that … it's a little incomplete …" the young man said awkwardly.
He had obtained this book by chance during a training, and he thought that it was extremely valuable. However, due to the incomplete cultivation technique manual, he was unable to cultivate it even if he had it, so he had no use for it.
This time around, he was in urgent need of a Transcendent Mortal 8-dan inner core to forge a pill. It would be best if the other party was willing to trade it with him, but if not, there was nothing he could do about it.
"Movement technique?"
Hearing the other party say that it was an incomplete battle technique, Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before reaching his finger over.
Weng!
A secret manual appeared in the Library of Heaven's Path.
Flipping it open, Zhang Xuan saw four words written on it: Heaven Treading Movement Technique!
Zhang Xuan swiftly flipped through the contents, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
This cultivation technique was of a high tier, and it was extremely valuable as well. However, just as the other party had said, it was incomplete. Even the Library of Heaven's Path was unable to restore it to its original state, so it was impossible for him to cultivate it.
It could be said that … it was a complete piece of trash!
The other party wanted to exchange this for his Transcendent Mortal 8-dan inner core? Wasn't he being too greedy?
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan was just about to reject the other party's offer when a thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Right, this Heaven Treading Movement Technique shares many similarities with the Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps. Is it possible to fuse them together?"
The Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps was a secret manual that Zhang Xuan had coincidentally obtained back then. After compiling a collection of movement technique manuals, it allowed him to fly even before reaching Saint realm. However … there was a huge flaw to it as well, and that was that it consumed a huge amount of zhenqi. Furthermore, other than his Heaven's Path zhenqi, he was unable to sustain it for long periods of time.
All along, he hadn't been able to find a suitable movement technique manual to make up for the three flaws. Would this incomplete secret manual work?
The more Zhang Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. Thus, he placed the two secret manuals together.
"Compile!"
Exclaiming in astonishment, a ray of light flashed, and a new secret manual appeared. Zhang Xuan quickly flipped it open, and the two secret manuals indeed formed a new Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps.
"There are no more flaws?"
Flipping through the contents of the secret manual, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in excitement.
After fusing the incomplete Heaven Treading Movement Technique with the Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps, the three flaws of the secret manual had disappeared.
If he were to cultivate according to the new secret manual, even if he were to fly in the air, he wouldn't fall from the sky for several hours!
In other words, the flight ability of the secret manual had already reached the level of a Saint. There was no longer the danger of falling from the sky like before!
"This is great!"
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly in excitement.
This secret manual would greatly increase his chances of survival.
"What is useless to others is actually useful to me. Looks like I'll have to collect more secret manuals in the future..."
Suppressing the agitation in his heart, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly.
This incomplete secret manual would be useless in the hands of anyone else. However, with him, he would be able to make up for the flaws of the other secret manuals.
"Your secret manual might be useless to me, but since you require a Transcendent Mortal 8-dan inner core, as fellow master teachers, it's only right for us to help one another. Thus, I'll give you one!"
Feeling delighted, Zhang Xuan kept the secret manual into his storage ring. Then, he passed a Transcendent Mortal 8-dan inner core over.
Just the fact that it was able to make up for the flaws in the Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps and make it flawless meant that this incomplete secret manual was worth a single inner core.
"Thank you..."
The young man didn't harbor much hope for this secret manual, but to think that it would actually work. His face reddened in agitation.
"Even an incomplete secret manual will work? I have two of them here... "
"I have an incomplete secret manual as well..."
...
Seeing that Zhang Shi was willing to accept even an incomplete secret manual and offer a sufficiently high price for it, the crowd burst into an uproar.
As time passed, there was no sect that didn't have at least a dozen incomplete secret manuals. In the eyes of the crowd, this secret manual was nothing more than trash. To think that it could be sold for money... Wasn't this fellow a little too foolish?
In an instant, another pile of incomplete secret manuals appeared on the floor.
Zhang Xuan began collecting them one by one, but a moment later, he couldn't help but shake his head.
While it was true that incomplete secret manuals could be used to supplement the content of a secret manual, they had to have the main body first. Without the main body, it would be useless no matter how many he collected.
After collecting a few more secret manuals, Zhang Xuan realized that they weren't of much use to him. Thus, he decided to stop.
Returning to his residence, Zhang Xuan instructed the others not to disturb him before going into seclusion.
"Let me see if I can compile a Cosmos Bridge realm cultivation technique!"
Sitting cross-legged in his room, Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
In the past few days, he had collected close to a thousand Cosmos Bridge realm cultivation technique manuals, and he had just collected quite a few incomplete ones. Perhaps, he might just be able to compile a Heaven's Path Divine Art.
Focusing his attention, Zhang Xuan muttered softly in his mind, and 'hu!', a book appeared before his eyes.
"Cosmos Bridge realm Heaven's Path Divine Art...
Flipping through the book, Zhang Xuan chuckled.
He thought that he would only be able to compile a Cosmos Bridge realm cultivation technique manual once he entered the academy and expended his Academic Credits. Who could have thought that he would be able to complete it in advance?
With this cultivation technique, he would be able to reach Cosmos Bridge realm and become a Transcendent Mortal 6-dan expert.
"I'll practice the Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps first!"
Placing the book by the side, Zhang Xuan didn't panic. Instead, he focused his attention on the flawless Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps.
He had already practiced this battle technique once, so it was much easier for him to cultivate it again.
Driving his zhenqi through his meridians, Zhang Xuan's aura became lighter and more ethereal. At the same time, his gaze also became more profound.
Hong long!
After an unknown period of time, a bottleneck suddenly burst open in his body, and he felt as light as a feather.
Hu!
Zhang Xuan, who was seated cross-legged on the floor, began floating around the room.
"As expected of the flawless Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps, the zhenqi consumption is so low..."
Feeling the zhenqi consumption in his body, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in excitement.
Previously, with this battle technique, as long as he flew, his zhenqi would flow like a torrent. Even though he had been cultivating diligently for the past few days, he still couldn't help but feel his heart palpitating. However, with the zhenqi flowing through his body at this moment, he was able to maintain it for several hours straight.
Not only so, his speed had also increased significantly. While it was still lacking compared to the Great Violetwing Beast, it was already comparable to most Transcendent Mortal 5-dan and 6-dan aerial spirit beasts!
Furthermore, as his cultivation rose, his flight speed would also increase as well!
"Right... Should I be able to fuse the Heaven's Path Movement Art with it?"
After flying for a moment, Zhang Xuan was just about to land and rest when a thought suddenly popped into his head.
The Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps was a type of movement technique, and so was the Heaven's Path Movement Art. While the latter was a movement technique that allowed one to run on the ground and the former to fly in the air, they were both movement techniques. Could they be fused together?
Once they were fused together, what kind of might would they produce?
Let's give it a try!
Immersing his consciousness into the Library of Heaven's Path, Zhang Xuan placed the two books together.
"Compile!"
A book materialized before him.
"This..."
Flipping it open, Zhang Xuan's eyes widened in shock.
