Chapter 217: Chapter 217: The Shock of Various Sect Leaders, How Do You Have Every Cultivation Technique? (3rd Update)
"How did you cultivate to such a level, kid?"
Fairy Su sheathed her longsword. During their exchange, had Lu Changsheng not held back at the last moment, she, as the Fairy Pavilion Master, might have been defeated.
Being beaten by a Mount Shu disciple who had not cultivated for three hundred years would be somewhat embarrassing in front of the other four Sect Leaders.
Fortunately, Lu Changsheng was well-versed in the ways of the world and had spared her some dignity.
Such conduct from Lu Changsheng indeed caused Fairy Su to look at him with newfound respect.
Lu Changsheng noticed that Fairy Su's gaze towards him was somewhat strange, as if a mother-in-law were looking at her son-in-law, growing fonder with each glance...
"Alliance Leader Master Chen, I would like to exchange a batch of martial techniques and cultivation techniques with the Martial Alliance for disciple instruction," Lu Changsheng said after his exchange with Fairy Su, approaching Alliance Leader Master Chen to trade techniques.
Master Chen shook his head, "The techniques of our Martial Alliance are left by successive leaders and martial experts, not to be lightly transmitted. This is the rule of our Martial Alliance, and other sects are the same."
Mount Shu, the Martial Alliance, Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, and other sects all have their own techniques. Mount Shu and Inquiry Immortal Pavilion are known for their sword cultivators, the Martial Alliance for martial techniques and body tempering methods, and Immeasurable Temple is known for its Buddhist Sect techniques. Generally, they do not easily exchange techniques.
Lu Changsheng came prepared. He took out a martial technique book that emitted a strand of astonishing Immortal Qi: "This is a martial technique, 'Emperor's Six Harmonies Spear', handed down to me in a dream by the Ancestral Master. Its rank is at the lower tier of Heaven Rank. I intend to use this technique to exchange for several Earth Rank and Heaven Rank techniques from the Martial Alliance.
What do you think?"
When Lu Changsheng had been in the Dao Palace Realm, he hadn't been qualified to negotiate terms with figures at the Sect Leader level. Now that Lu Changsheng had sparred with Fairy Su, he completely possessed Sect Leader level combat power, sufficient to trade with Master Chen.
"A lower-level Heaven Rank martial technique, 'Emperor's Six Harmonies Spear'?!"
Alliance Leader Master Chen's muscular body trembled, his eyes ablaze with fervor, fixed intently on the martial technique book in Lu Changsheng's hands.
The Martial Alliance had collected various martial techniques, totaling over a hundred thousand, but Heaven Rank martial techniques were still rare, and Immortal Rank techniques were even rarer, like phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
This 'Emperor's Six Harmonies Spear' technique was priceless.
For the Martial Alliance, which revered the martial path, its value was doubled.
"Our Martial Alliance's techniques are not normally transmitted outside, but you have given me an offer I cannot refuse. I can make an exception for you to choose a batch of Earth Rank and Heaven Rank martial techniques from our Scripture Pavilion," Master Chen took a deep breath.
This was an Immortal Rank technique, after all.
With such an Immortal Rank technique, the Martial Alliance might, in the future, be able to nurture a spear-wielding Martial God.
As for Earth Rank and Heaven Rank techniques, to a Void Refinement Realm ninth layer peak powerhouse like Master Chen, they weren't really much.
Both sides were just exchanging techniques, and both could benefit from it.
Fairy Su, Yu Xuanji, Master Wuxiang, and Taiyuan looked at each other in surprise. How did Lu Changsheng have access to all kinds of techniques?
"I am very interested in Alliance Leader Master Chen's 'Baji Fist' and in the 'Wing Chun' technique created by Master Chen's senior disciple, Ye Wen."
With the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, Lu Changsheng could teach Lu Qinglian martial techniques and in return, receive even higher-tier techniques for cultivation. Lu Changsheng decided to exchange the most prized techniques of the Martial Alliance to see what level of techniques the simulator would ultimately return.
"The 'Wing Chun' technique, which my disciple personally created, is still in its early stages but it's a Heaven Rank technique. That is still okay, but the 'Baji Fist' I use is an Immortal Rank technique of the lower tier, one of our Martial Alliance's Sect-Defending Skills. Even if you offer 'Emperor's Six Harmonies Spear', I cannot easily exchange it with you," Master Chen said.
Although Master Chen wanted to acquire the 'Emperor's Six Harmonies Spear' for the Martial Alliance, it was on the same level as the 'Baji Fist'.
Lu Changsheng, wanting to exchange one 'Emperor's Six Harmonies Spear' for the 'Baji Fist', 'Wing Chun', and a batch of other martial techniques, seemed to put the Martial Alliance at a disadvantage, no matter how one looked at it.
```
Lu Changsheng discerned the implicit meaning in Alliance Leader Master Chen's words.
Alliance Leader Master Chen did not explicitly refuse, which meant that the price Lu Changsheng was offering wasn't satisfactory to him yet.
"I also have a Heaven Rank lower-grade martial technique called 'Hundredfold Desolate Force' acquired from the Demon Race. If you combine the Hundredfold Desolate Force with the Baji Fist techniques, Master Chen, you should be able to imagine their power."
Lu Changsheng produced another Heaven Rank martial technique.
This was the Savage Elephant King's unique skill from the Fourth Layer of the Void Refinement Realm, but the Savage Elephant King had only cultivated it to thirtyfold Desolate Force.
Given Master Chen's martial arts talent, he might very well be able to cultivate Hundredfold Desolate Force to Great Perfection in the future.
The unique skill of Master Chen is Baji Fist, characterized by its robust and brave punch style; paired with Hundredfold Desolate Force, the improvement would be substantial.
Lu Changsheng intended to obtain Master Chen's 'Baji Fist', so he was offering 'Hundredfold Desolate Force' in exchange.
What Lu Changsheng needed was to acquire as many sect-defending skills as possible for teaching disciples, and by exchanging a few Heaven Rank cultivation techniques, he could acquire even more skills for his teachings.
The sect-defending skills of the major sects might not even be owned by Mount Shu.
Since the leaders of various sects were present here, Lu Changsheng did not miss this opportunity.
"Ssss...
Master Chen was obsessed with martial arts. His gaze fell upon the 'Hundredfold Desolate Force' technique book and could not look away anymore.
His unique skill Baji Fist, when paired with Hundredfold Desolate Force, focusing all his True Qi into one punch, could destroy heaven and earth.
Especially since Master Chen was on the verge of Tribulation, once he mastered the 'Hundredfold Desolate Force', he would be confident in overcoming his Tribulation.
"You rascal, how do you possess such a variety of techniques? Fine, I agree!" Master Chen accepted Lu Changsheng's terms and agreed, "Later, you will accompany me to the Martial Alliance to select the techniques."
Exchanging a Heaven Rank lower-grade Fist technique and a batch of Earth Rank and Heaven Rank martial techniques for two Heaven Rank lower-grade martial techniques--one of which was a perfect match for his Fist technique--this deal seemed far more profitable for the Martial Alliance no matter how one looked at it.
Now Lu Changsheng could plunder the unique skills of the Martial Alliance.
Lu Changsheng just knew that Master Chen could not resist his terms.
For the Martial Alliance to trade part of its existing martial techniques for two Heaven Rank lower-grade techniques to serve as their sect-defending skills, Master Chen could only dream of such a deal.
As for the fact that some techniques would spread to Mount Shu, Master Chen could accept that as well.
Fairy Su, Yu Xuanji, Master Wuxiang, and Real Person Taiyuan, the four sect leaders, were even more astonished.
Lu Changsheng actually took out a second Heaven Rank martial technique to move Alliance Leader Master Chen.
"Temple Master Yu, I would like to exchange a set of Hidden Dragon Temple's cultivation techniques to teach my third disciple."
After his trade with Master Chen, Lu Changsheng proceeded to deal with Temple Master Yu Xuanji of the Hidden Dragon Temple.
Yu Xuanji, ever so composed, was also slightly surprised, "What kind of techniques do you have that would be of interest for a trade with our Hidden Dragon Temple? 'Emperor's Six Harmonies Spear', 'Hundredfold Desolate Force'—these hold little appeal for us."
"Then, how about this one?"
Lu Changsheng took out another Heaven Rank lower-grade cultivation technique, the cover of which fluttered with three ancient seal characters—'Saintly King Skills'.
