Choosing a Movement Dou Technique

His cultivation had reached the Two-star Dou Master level, and his Fortune Points had shot up to 2,040—a full increase of 2,000 points.

This time, the system had finally shown some conscience.

What should he do with so many Fortune Points?

He opened the shop and took a look. He still could not afford any of the high-level cultivation methods or Dou Techniques.

As for the low-level ones, they could no longer satisfy Chen Mo's current needs.

He could only try the Treasure Chest Draw.

He would start with a Silver Treasure Chest to test the waters.

With a whoosh, 2,040 Fortune Points became 1,940.

Immediately afterward, a Silver Treasure Chest descended from the sky. Accompanied by cheerful music, the chest opened.

Four glittering golden words appeared.

"Thank you for your support."

Fuck.

Again.

"Grade 2 Pill: Lust Pill."

Uh, judging by the name, it definitely was not a proper pill.

Again.

"Thank you for your support."

"Grade 3 Pill: Advancement Pill. Only effective for Dou Masters. After consumption, it can raise the user by one star. Each person may only consume one; a second will have no effect."

This one was not bad. Keep going.

"Thank you for your support."

"Thank you for your support."

"Thank you for your support."

Five consecutive "Thank you for your support" messages reduced his Fortune Points to 1,140.

Chen Mo wanted to vomit blood.

Was the drop rate really this low?

One more time. If it's still "Thank you for your support," I'm done drawing, Chen Mo thought.

"Grade 6 Pill: Wood Origin Pill. After consumption, there is a certain chance that the user will gain the wood attribute."

"I got something, I got something. Looks like my luck is still pretty good?" Chen Mo felt that his luck had finally turned around, and he decided to go big.

He spent 1,000 Fortune Points to open a Gold Treasure Chest.

There was another whoosh as music began to play. The difference was that the opening music for the Gold Treasure Chest was far grander than the Silver one's, and even the opening effects had been upgraded.

If the Silver Treasure Chest's opening effects were worth fifty cents, then the Gold one's could reach a whole dollar.

As golden light flashed, a dazzling golden card appeared before Chen Mo.

"Dou Ancestor Experience Card. Upon use, the user can temporarily gain the strength of a Dou Ancestor. Duration: half a shichen."

"Haha, I knew my luck had arrived. This round wasn't a loss." Chen Mo happily exited the system.

"You're saying Queen Medusa has Heavenly Flames?"

"That's right. Four months ago, I sensed the aura of Heavenly Flames in the desert. I followed it all the way and found several bloodstained seven-colored snake scales." Gu He said softly, "Queen Medusa must have been injured by it when she obtained the Heavenly Flames."

"From what I know, when Queen Medusa reaches the peak of the Dou Emperor realm, if her opportunity is sufficient, she can undergo a peculiar evolution and advance to the Dou Ancestor realm. The thing required for that evolution is precisely Heavenly Flames."

"I imagine the Heavenly Flames are extremely important to Queen Medusa, so she likely will not be willing to exchange them easily." Yun Yun said calmly, her words carrying the implication that Gu He should abandon the idea.

Gu He's body trembled slightly. He understood Yun Yun's meaning, but the importance of the Heavenly Flames to him made him unwilling to give up so easily. Instead, he said, "For this trip, I have prepared two Grade 6 Dou Spirit Pills and one Grade Seven Form Transformation Pill."

"A Grade Seven Form Transformation Pill?" Yun Yun was somewhat surprised. Since when could Gu He refine seventh-grade medicinal pills?

Gu He gave a dry cough. Naturally, he would not say that the Grade Seven Form Transformation Pill was merely bait to lure her along. Instead, he said, "I obtained it from some ruins."

"Even so, the chances of a successful exchange are extremely low. Besides, it would only be me alone."

"You don't need to worry about that. I have also invited several friends, including Yan Shi and Feng Li."

"In that case, when do we depart?" Since she owed Gu He a favor, Yun Yun could not easily refuse.

"Once they arrive and we make the proper preparations, we can set off."

"Mm. Inform me when the time comes."

Misty Cloud Sect

Scripture Depository.

"That name is way too generic. In ten fantasy novels, nine sects would have a place for collecting cultivation methods called the Scripture Depository," Chen Mo complained.

The Scripture Depository stood seven stories tall. Since the Misty Cloud Sect's founding, it had collected countless cultivation methods, Dou Techniques, and movement techniques covering every attribute.

The first four floors of the Scripture Depository were open to all Misty Cloud Sect disciples.

Above the fourth floor, only disciples whose cultivation had reached the Dou Shi level were qualified to enter.

Over the past two days, Chen Mo's name had become known throughout the Misty Cloud Sect.

Thus, when Chen Mo arrived at the upper floors, he merely handed his Jade Token to the steward. Once his identity was verified, he was allowed into the fifth floor without any inspection of his cultivation.

There were not many disciples on the fifth floor. Only a few were browsing with their heads lowered, searching for the cultivation methods and Dou Techniques they needed.

When they saw Chen Mo, they showed mild surprise. Then several familiar faces gathered together and began whispering among themselves.

Chen Mo vaguely heard them recounting the scene of how he had defeated Nalan Yanran yesterday.

He shook his head and chuckled before beginning his search for a movement Dou Technique.

The various shelves were arranged by attribute, each holding different kinds of cultivation methods.

Dou Techniques were not categorized, seemingly without attribute restrictions. However, cultivating Dou Techniques of the same attribute was clearly easier and faster.

Chen Mo walked over to the shelves for fire- and lightning-attributed techniques. After casually flipping through several books and finding that they were all Mysterious Tier Low Grade cultivation methods and Dou Techniques, he headed for the sixth floor.

"As expected of someone capable of defeating Senior Sister Nalan. He doesn't even care for Mysterious Tier Low Grade techniques."

"You have no idea—less than a day has passed, and storybooks about his exploits are already selling like crazy."

"Storybooks? Let me borrow one and we'll talk..."

When he reached the sixth floor, there were even fewer disciples than on the fifth—only two, a man and a woman. Judging by their appearances, they were much older than Chen Mo.

They looked quite ordinary as well.

Chen Mo's face was distinctive enough that the two quickly recognized him.

"Junior Brother Chen Mo, hello. My name is Liu Zilong."

"I'm Liu Xuanyue."

"Hello, hello," Chen Mo replied politely.

The two were siblings. Both were Da Dou Shi and veteran Inner Sect disciples.

"Junior Brother, you're here to choose a movement Dou Technique, right?" the older brother, Liu Zilong, asked.

Chen Mo nodded. There was nothing to hide. After yesterday's competition, everyone likely knew about those two weaknesses.

Hearing this, the siblings were delighted. As veteran disciples about to graduate with no backing behind them, they had been worrying about how to curry favor with Chen Mo. Now, an opportunity had delivered itself to them.

"Junior Brother has only been in the sect for a short time, so you probably don't know which Dou Techniques are stronger. How about I introduce them to you?" Liu Zilong kept a very humble posture. Though his cultivation was higher than Chen Mo's, his talent lagged behind by leagues.

He was already twenty-seven, yet only a one-star Da Dou Shi.

"Sure." Chen Mo had no reason to turn down underlings who came knocking on his door.

"The strongest movement Dou Technique in the sect is the Mysterious Tier Middle Grade Body Like a Swimming Dragon. It's also lightning-attributed, making it a perfect match for Junior Brother. Next is the Wind Catkins that Junior Sister Nalan is currently cultivating."

"There's also the Mysterious Tier Middle Grade Explosive Step and the Mysterious Tier Low Grade Footprints on Snow."

"As for offensive Dou Techniques, the strongest is the Extreme Wind series cultivated by the Sect Master and Junior Sister Nalan. Next is the Mysterious Tier Middle Grade Thousand Thunder Art, which is also a lightning-attributed Dou Technique."
