Reward
After selecting the three superior martial arts manuals he needed, Su Yuan returned to the entrance of the "Scripture Library".
The top-tier expert guarding the Scripture Library kept a close eye on the activity Library or trying to comprehend superior martial arts manuals on the spot.
After all, each top-quality martial arts manual costs 10,000 taels of gold, equivalent to 100 million Canglan Coin, when purchased by the official authorities. The pavilion has more than 100 manuals, worth more than 10 billion Canglan Coin.
This is the total value of an ordinary Starry Sky Lifeform.
The Pavilion Master of the Canglan Pavilion is wealthy and powerful, and is a direct descendant of the Xien Family. However, he has put in a great deal of effort to collect these more than one hundred superior martial arts manuals.
It's not about the money.
Rather, there are only so many ways to obtain top-tier martial arts manuals.
Each month, the official organization will provide five superior martial arts manuals, which can be exchanged for 10,000 taels of gold.
In addition, gold-level ruins also contain superior martial arts manuals, but gold-level ruins are extremely rare and attract many top-tier experts to fight and compete for them.
As for Su Yuan obtaining a superior martial arts manual within a purple-level ruin, the probability is extremely low. The next ruin where a superior martial arts manual will appear will be three years from now.
Finally, there are those scattered among various powerful forces Nine Provinces of the World, such as the Lu Family in Gongyang City.
However, these forces are all deeply connected to the Great Yong Dynasty, and if players dare to make a move, they will be surrounded and killed.
Are you sure it's these three books?
"I am a top-tier expert guarding this place," the guard asked.
"Just these three."
Su Yuan nodded. These three books were given to him by the Grey Mirror and were currently the most suitable superior martial arts manuals for him.
Carrying three superior martial arts manuals, Su Yuan arrived at the secluded meditation room.
As a second-rank expert, Su Yuan became a guest elder after joining Canglan Pavilion, and had his own secluded meditation room.
Call!
Su Yuan sat cross-legged.
He looked at the three superior martial arts manuals laid out in front of him.
These three superior martial arts manuals are --
<Pure Yang Infinite Technique>
<The Mysterious Underworld Six Yin Secret Record>
<Extreme Yang Heaven-Burning Mental Method>
Two books with extremely Yang attributes, and one book with extremely Yin attributes.
"However, there are two superior martial arts manuals in the Canglan Pavilion's Scripture Library that will be useful to me."
Su Yuan sighed inwardly, but he wasn't disappointed, because those two superior martial arts manuals would be his sooner or later.
The Pavilion Master of the Canglan Pavilion will ask Su Yuan to help him once for the sake of his own plans, and the reward will be those two superior martial arts manuals.
"First, comprehend the Pure Yang Infinite Technique."
Su Yuan collected his thoughts and looked at the first superior martial arts manual.
Comprehending multiple superior martial arts manuals is important, as they must be done in succession. After all, superior martial arts manuals of the same nature must have commonalities, and within these commonalities, there must be differences in their depth.
First, study the simpler parts of the superior martial arts manuals, then study the deeper parts; this will make your efforts twice as effective.
The martial arts manuals of the Shattering the Void World are obtained by forcibly implanting insights into the mind of the seeker through possession and empowerment.
How long it takes for the product to be fully absorbed depends on your own ability.
"Pure Yang, Limitless."
Su Yuan opened the martial arts manual and began to comprehend it.
Boom!
Su Yuan's consciousness entered a special environment, filled with an extremely pure warmth from all directions.
"Here it is?"
Su Yuan looked around and found himself in a pool of lava.
To be precise, it is immersed in magma.
The object Su Yuan possessed was not a human, but a giant beast.
Su Yuan carefully observed his surroundings and wasn't too surprised.
The martial arts manuals of the Shattering the Void World are nothing but a facade.
Its essence is possession and perception. Through certain means, the consciousness of a player who is comprehending a martial arts manual is temporarily integrated into a specific target, allowing them to perceive everything that the target can perceive.
"Unfortunately, the methods and techniques mastered by the official authorities of the Shattering the Void World are limited to the intermediate level of Starry Sky Lifeform. Anything beyond that—the advanced level of Starry Sky Lifeform, or even everything that Stellar Lifeform can perceive—is very difficult to perfectly replicate in the virtual world."
Su Yuan thought to himself.
This is also why superior martial arts manuals are useless against Starry Sky Lifeform forms, and even Stellar Lifeform.
Stellar Lifeform is a terrifying life form that transcends the Starry Sky Lifeform. When a life form of this level cultivates and evolves to its ultimate state, it will shine like a star in all directions of the universe.
Time passed.
Five hours passed in the blink of an eye.
"So this is the Pure Yang Limitless!"
Su Yuan silently opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly burning with boundless pure yang energy.
Studying the Pure Yang Infinite Technique greatly helped Su Yuan. This help went far beyond the words themselves; it was about gaining a deeper understanding and knowledge of the ultimate Yang.
"Latest body data."
Su Yuan, deep within his sea of consciousness, questioned the Grey Mirror.
The Gray Mirror churns and ripples, offering an answer.
[Health Level: 9 (0%)]
[Extreme Yang Power: 97%]
[Extreme Yin Power: 94%]
[Combat Bonus: 4550%]
"My understanding of the Extreme Yang Power has increased by 2%, Combat Bonus has increased fivefold?"
Su Yuan thought to himself, "Once you've mastered 90% of the Extreme Yang Power, the difficulty of improving it will increase dramatically."
A superior martial arts manual like the Pure Yang Infinite Technique, if studied before reaching 60% of the Extreme Yang Power comprehension, could potentially boost Extreme Yang Power comprehension by 10% immediately upon completion.
"Next, there's no rush to study the remaining two superior martial arts manuals."
Su Yuan collected his thoughts.
After mastering a superior martial arts manual, the best course of action is...
I will continue to immerse myself in the lingering insights and aftertastes of this superior martial arts manual for some time.
Only in this way can one absorb the full extent of everything in a superior martial arts manual.
According to the comprehension plan given by the Grey Mirror, Su Yuan would continue to immerse himself in the afterglow of comprehending each superior martial arts manual for one day.
Only in this way can one absorb everything from this superior martial arts manual with maximum efficiency.
The Virtual World Network, the "Explorer" world.
The "Explorer" world is a virtual world specially created by the official Canglan Galactic Human Empire for communication between the Desolate Star Domain exploration team and investors.
Two or three months ago, Su Yuan successfully sold the Eternal Darkness Crystal and obtained 520 million Canglan Coin.
He then invested the 520 million Canglan Coin into the exploration team selected by the Grey Mirror, hoping to reap huge returns.
Whoosh!
Su Yuan appeared in the tavern of the "Explorer" world.
According to Grey Mirror's answer, of the two exploration teams he invested in today, the Voyager Exploration Team will return.
Su Yuan came here to reclaim his share of the spoils from the Voyager Exploration Team.
"Voyager Exploration Team"
Su Yuan's mind was filled with a lot of information about this exploration team.
During their exploration of the unknown and Desolate Star Domain, the Voyager Exploration Team accidentally entered a special star field and brought back precious resources worth tens of billions of Canglan Coin from that special star field.
A hundred billion Canglan Coin is comparable to most of the wealth of a mid-stage Starry Sky Lifeform Realm expert. With just one exploration of an unknown Desolate Star Domain, he has gained the accumulation of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years of a mid-stage Starry Sky Lifeform Realm expert.
It's easy to imagine the enormous profits from exploring unknown Desolate Star Domain.
Of course, exploring unknown and Desolate Star Domain also carries great risks.
Soon.
Su Yuan then approached the table and chairs where the Voyager Exploration Team was located.
Before he even got close, Su Yuan saw the captain of the Voyager Exploration Team, red-skinned Ao Feng, chatting with more than a dozen investors.
This is a perfectly normal phenomenon.
After this exploration, the Voyager Exploration Team brought back resources worth tens of billions of Canglan Coin, instantly gaining fame.
A billion Canglan Coin may not seem like much to large investors, but the key is that with this experience, the likelihood of the Voyager Exploration Team bringing back another billion will undoubtedly be much greater.
The beginning is always the hardest.
Once it happens, it will happen again.
This is also why so many investors come to talk to the red-skinned Ao Feng.
In the virtual world of Explorer, large investors can exploit lesser-known exploration teams.
For example, Ya Lin Luoxing of the Luoxing Family previously threatened Hu Ta, the captain of the Hometown Exploration Team.
One sentence was enough to make Captain Hu Ta's expression turn ugly.
Conversely, popular exploration teams can actually cause major investors to back down.
After all, popular exploration teams mean they have rich experience in exploring Desolate Star Domain, and may even have mastered a resource star in Desolate Star Domain. As long as they go out to explore, they can reliably bring back harvests.
Such an exploration team is backed by a group of investors, and cannot be shaken by any single large investor.
Of course, the Voyager Exploration Team is far from reaching that level, but that doesn't stop investors from coming to curry favor with them.
Su Yuan waited patiently for a while until the investors left one by one before stepping forward.
Since bringing back a harvest worth billions of Canglan Coin, the red-skinned Ao Feng has been riding high. One investor after another has come to his door, claiming that they will definitely come to invest on the next exploration.
This made the red-skinned Ao Feng a little too arrogant. In the past, he had to beg and plead with his father and grandmother for a little investment, but he still couldn't attract many investors.
But now?
Many investors have proactively come to him to schedule his next visit.
Although these investors are all ordinary investors, there are no well-known big investors among them.
But the red-skinned Ao Feng believed that this was just the beginning, and that as he brought back even greater success next time, major investors would surely come knocking on his door to establish long-term partnerships.
"The reason we've had such a great harvest this time is entirely due to accidentally entering that special star field. If we could enter it again, the harvest would definitely be even greater."
The red-skinned Ao Feng pondered the details of his accidental entry into that special star field, and a concrete plan had formed in his mind.
That special star system is a money tree.
Red-skinned Ao Feng felt a burning passion within him.
Just then...
The red-skinned Ao Feng looked up.
They noticed Su Yuan approaching.
"Mr. Mirror."
When the red-skinned Ao Feng saw Su Yuan, he greeted him in a flat tone.
This time, when he met Su Yuan, Ao Feng, with his red skin, had a completely different mindset than the last time he met Su Yuan.
The last time he saw Su Yuan, the Voyager Exploration Team was in dire need of funding. Su Yuan's arrival was like a lifeline, and the red-skinned Ao Feng was extremely respectful and grateful.
But this time?
Before Su Yuan arrived, the red-skinned Ao Feng had already met with at least twenty investors, all of whom were waiting to provide him with financial assistance. Whether Su Yuan was there or not was no longer important.
"Mr. Jing." The vice-captain of the Voyager Exploration Team, who was standing next to Su Yuan, also greeted him.
"Um."
Su Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Congratulations."
He could naturally sense the change in Ao Feng's attitude, but he didn't pay it any mind.
What Su Yuan valued was the potential benefits the other party could bring him, not anything else.
"This expedition was made possible thanks to Mr. Jing's funding. We brought back special resources worth 10 billion Canglan Coin. According to the contract between Mr. Jing and the Voyager Exploration Team, he will receive 10% of the spoils, which is 1 billion Canglan Coin."
As the red-skinned Ao Feng spoke, his heart bled.
Su Yuan only invested 100 million Canglan Coin in them, but he was going to take away 1 billion Canglan Coin, which made him a little envious.
Keep in mind that the Voyager Exploration Team risked their lives to achieve these results, while Su Yuan only paid one hundred million Canglan Coin.
"No problem."
Su Yuan nodded.
The other party did not hide their gains.
In reality, it couldn't be hidden. Every exploration team that ventured into unknown and Desolate Star Domain had its ships undergo special inspections by the Empire both upon departure and return.
Few exploration teams can fake this, and no exploration team dares to.
After all, once discovered, their reputation would be ruined, and even the most popular exploration team wouldn't dare to gamble like that.
Drop--
Before long, Su Yuan's account received an additional 1 billion Canglan Coin.
Su Yuan was in a good mood. Ten billion Canglan Coin was a huge sum, even for someone at the initial stage of Starry Sky Lifeform. Don't underestimate the Shattering the Void World; a single superior martial arts manual is worth one hundred million Canglan Coin.
It's still in short supply.
That's because superior martial arts manuals are related to the cultivation Dao Path of Starry Sky Lifeform.
No matter how expensive or difficult it is, even if it means "taking out a loan" from the Empire, the Starry Sky Lifeform will grit their teeth and buy it.
The contract has been fulfilled.
Su Yuan was about to get up and leave.
The red-skinned Ao Feng suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Mirror, would you like to sponsor our exploration team's next expedition?"
Although Su Yuan is not that important to the Voyager Exploration Team right now.
But no matter what, he's still an investor, Ao Feng, with his red skin, doesn't mind.
For any exploration team, the more investors, the better.
"Sponsor your next investment?" Su Yuan raised an eyebrow, looking at the red-skinned Ao Feng and asked, "What percentage are you planning to give me?"
"Mr. Jing, by sponsoring one billion Canglan Coin, you will receive one-twentieth of the proceeds from the next exploration," said the red-skinned Ao Feng.
"Ten billion Canglan Coin? One-twentieth split?" Su Yuan looked at the red-skinned Ao Feng. "In other words, you need to bring back resources worth 20 billion Canglan Coin for me to break even. Only if the resources exceed 20 billion Canglan Coin will I make a profit?"
That's right.
Red-skinned Ao Feng nodded. "Mr. Mirror, don't worry about the low returns. With the experience from the last exploration, I'm very confident that the next one will be fruitful. I guarantee you won't lose money."
The red-skinned Ao Feng paused for a moment before continuing, "Mr. Jing, as you know, returns are directly proportional to risks; the greater the risk, the greater the return. If I can control the risk within a certain range, the returns will inevitably be somewhat lower."
The red-skinned Ao Feng looked at Su Yuan:
"Mr. Jing, please consider it."
"Many investors want to invest in our exploration team right now. Give me a reply as soon as possible, otherwise you won't have the opportunity to secure funding later."
