The Emperor Scripture

Inside the Technique Pavilion, there were countless jade slips.

Chen Xuan felt a bit dazzled as he looked around.

It was a pity, however, that not all techniques could be exchanged with contribution points; some could only be obtained through sect rewards.

Fortunately, the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art was not among those restricted from exchange.

After entering the Technique Pavilion, Chen Xuan began his search for the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art.

Soon, he arrived in front of a tall bookshelf.

Suspended before him was a cyan jade slip, encased within a cyan light barrier.

Both the jade slip and the barrier emitted a terrifying aura.

Inscribed upon the jade slip was the name of the first volume of the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art.

Chen Xuan reached out to touch the light barrier.

Information regarding the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art flooded into Chen Xuan's mind.

It introduced the origin and effects of this technique, as well as precautions for cultivation.

This technique originated from an imperial clan in the Primordial World that had long since been destroyed.

The complete Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art was created by a Human Emperor and belonged to the ranks of true Imperial Scriptures.

Chen Xuan was startled; its background was quite significant.

The Primordial World was a Great Thousand World, the higher plane of the higher plane relative to the Azure Cloud Realm where Chen Xuan currently resided.

The Cloud Sea Sect of the Azure Cloud Realm was inherited from the Cloud Sea Sacred Land of the Primordial World.

Both Sacred Lands and Imperial Clans were factions belonging to Great Emperors.

This was something he had only recently learned.

So, the legends he had heard before were actually true.

Returning to the main topic.

In short, among all techniques, Imperial Scriptures were the strongest.

Therefore, this Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art was definitely not inferior.

However, the information conveyed by the technique noted that the final volume of the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art had been lost for many years.

Among the various Sacred Lands and Imperial Clans of the Primordial World, only the first four volumes remained.

The Cloud Sea Sacred Land was no exception.

In other words, choosing to cultivate this technique might mean only being able to reach the fourth volume in the end.

Yet, compared to other body-refining techniques, even the fourth volume was already incredibly powerful.

After all, this was an Imperial Scripture.

Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, not making a decision immediately, and went to look at other body-refining techniques in the Technique Pavilion.

He was in no rush now; the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art would serve as his top-priority backup for the time being.

Chen Xuan touched one body-refining technique after another.

It took some time.

In the end, he found that the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art was still the best.

At the very least, among the body-refining techniques he could access right now, that Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art was the best.

Chen Xuan stopped hesitating and directly took down the first volume of the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art.

Carrying the jade slip, still encased in its light barrier, Chen Xuan went downstairs to the elder guarding the pavilion.

"Elder, I wish to exchange for this."

As Chen Xuan spoke, he took out his disciple token.

The elder guarding the pavilion said nothing more and directly deducted a large sum of contribution points from Chen Xuan's disciple token.

Immediately after, the elder dispelled the light barrier around the jade slip.

Chen Xuan grasped the jade slip, and it shot a beam of cyan spiritual light directly into his forehead.

At the same time, the contents of the first volume of the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art were imprinted into Chen Xuan's mind.

Within this volume, besides the cultivation method itself, there were various requirements for cultivation resources.

The resources required by the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art were indeed terrifying.

Take the monster meat commonly used in body-refining techniques, for instance; ordinary monster meat could not be used to cultivate the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art.

Only by using the meat of monsters containing dragon bloodlines could one cultivate the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art.

Monsters containing dragon bloodlines were naturally much more valuable than ordinary monster meat.

He finished receiving the inheritance.

The jade slip was once again enveloped by a light barrier before automatically flying back to its original place.

Chen Xuan cupped his hands in a salute and departed from the Technique Pavilion.

The contribution points required for this technique were truly not low; his fifty-thousand-plus points had hit rock bottom in an instant.

It was fortunate that he belonged to a top-tier sect.

Otherwise, obtaining the first volume of the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art would have been next to impossible.

He would need to find ways to earn contribution points next, as the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art required a steady consumption of resources.

Even after the technique was awakened, he would likely need sufficient resources to grow stronger.

Lost in thought, Chen Xuan did not rush back, but instead headed to the sect market at the foot of the mountain.

He still had three hundred Qi Gathering Pills left from his previous refining session.

Moreover, they were three hundred top-grade Qi Gathering Pills; selling them could fetch a significant amount of contribution points or spirit stones.

Chen Xuan did not want to sell them bit by bit; he wanted to sell them all in one go.

Even if he had to take a slight loss, it would be acceptable as long as it saved him time.

Thus, upon arriving at the sect market, Chen Xuan sought out a shop that dealt in medicinal pills.

As Chen Xuan entered the shop, several disciples were already inside browsing for pills.

The proprietor was a middle-aged cultivator who smiled and greeted him upon seeing him enter, "Junior Brother, what kind of pills do you need?"

Chen Xuan walked up to the counter, "Senior Brother, I have some Qi Gathering Pills I wish to sell. Do you purchase them here?"

The shopkeeper nodded with a smile upon hearing this, "Naturally, I do. You are a disciple of Danxiao Peak, aren't you? May I see the quality of the pills?"

The attire of the Nine Heavens disciples was quite distinctive.

The man had identified Chen Xuan as belonging to Danxiao Peak at a glance.

He held a certain level of trust in the pills produced by Danxiao Peak disciples, and his attitude became noticeably more enthusiastic.

Chen Xuan took a jade bottle from his storage bag and handed it directly to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper opened the bottle and took out a single pill.

The pill was round and crystalline, with clear pill patterns and a faint, flowing spiritual luster.

The shopkeeper examined the pill closely, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes, "This... is this a top-grade Qi Gathering Pill? This is practically the finest top-grade Qi Gathering Pill I have ever seen!"

He had seen his fair share of Qi Gathering Pills while running his shop, including plenty of top-grade ones.

However, he felt that the pill before him was somehow even better than a standard top-grade Qi Gathering Pill.

In reality, his intuition was correct; it was indeed slightly superior, though not to an exaggerated degree.

Judging by this pill, it was clear that the alchemist's skills were formidable, bordering on divine.

The shopkeeper realized he had stumbled upon a treasure.

He proceeded to check the other Qi Gathering Pills in the jade bottle, discovering that every single one was the cream of the crop.

After finishing his inspection, he looked up at Chen Xuan, seemingly wanting more, and spoke in a serious tone, "Junior Brother, the quality of these pills is beyond compare. Might you have any more?"

"There are three hundred in total, all of them top-grade."

Chen Xuan nodded as he produced the remaining twenty-nine jade bottles.

Each bottle contained ten Qi Gathering Pills.

The shopkeeper slowly inspected every single one of them.

After finishing, the shopkeeper pondered for a moment, "The market price for a top-grade Qi Gathering Pill in the market is about one hundred contribution points. I usually purchase them at ninety points. Your pills are different, however—they are the best of the best. I believe the price can be raised. If you are willing, I can purchase them at one hundred contribution points each, for a total of thirty thousand points. How does that sound?"

Chen Xuan was very satisfied with this price and nodded with a smile, "That is acceptable. Thank you, Senior Brother."

The shopkeeper also broke into a smile, "It is I who should thank you, Junior Brother, for being willing to sell them to me. If you have any more pills to sell in the future, do not hesitate to come to me."
