257: Evolutionary Techniques!

In the end.

This heavy artifact cauldron was eventually transported back to Great Xia.

During this time, Ister wanted to kill Ye Su countless times but was firmly stuck.

Ye Su hadn't negotiated yet.

There was no room for negotiation with Gust.

Only one of them could survive.

Thus, things were at a complete standstill.

However.

It also wanted to give Ye Su a warning.

For example.

The Black Tide began to attack the cities of Great Xia.

Heh.

What kind of warning was this?

It was just delivering experience; Great Xia's resources were currently becoming more abundant.

Especially Spiritual Qi firearms.

And within Great Xia, there were still a large number of independent Professional teams.

These Professional teams were bored to death now; all day long, they were either drawing lots for Dungeon slots or running wild within Great Xia's borders.

It couldn't be helped.

There were no enemies!

No enemies meant no merit points, and without merit points, they couldn't buy the most advanced products and Spirit Medicine.

The Wang Clan attacking just happened to give them something to do.

At the same time, it could test how their current combat power was faring.

It also solved Great Xia's urgent problem; otherwise, they really wouldn't know whether to give away the items in the warehouses.

After all, if they started giving things away, the unofficial Professional teams would just become lazy.

When they were needed later, it would be hard to mobilize them.

A society is only normal when it's in motion.

—"So, how exactly is this supposed to be used?"

Li Qing scratched his head while circling the large cauldron.

All the methods that should be tried had been tried.

For example, binding it with a drop of blood and such.

But it still couldn't be activated.

It's called a heavy artifact treasure, but without knowing how to use it, it's just a big hunk of iron.

Ye Su was also puzzled.

This thing is used to evolve Cultivation Techniques, but in this current situation, how does it evolve them?

This is a cauldron, not a computer.

Could it be that it needs to be fed jade tablets?

"Dean Li, bring a Martial Arts jade tablet to try."

Ye Su said.

Everyone was surprised and skeptical.

But Li Qing still found a Martial Arts jade tablet and threw it into the cauldron.

And then—and then nothing happened.

"Damn..."

Ye Su's eye twitched.

"How about... bringing some Spirit Stones?"

It had to be tried, right?

Although it was a bit ridiculous, maybe that's really how it's played.

Just like the System: feed it Spirit Stones, and then it helps you evolve Martial Arts.

It's quite logical.

Soon, Li Qing brought Spirit Stones again.

He threw them into the cauldron together.

The next second.

A sudden change occurred.

Light shone around the cauldron, and the jade tablet inside showed signs of melting.

"Eh?"

"I think I just saw the images on this side move!"

"Wait, the jade tablet seems to have melted a bit."

"It really does need to eat Spirit Stones."

Everyone spoke at once.

Ye Su nodded to Li Qing.

This time.

The Spirit Stones came.

A vehicle drove straight in, and then box after box of Spirit Stones were poured inside.

"One thousand per box!"

Li Qing said.

"The jade tablet contains the lowest-level Basic Saber Technique."

"Currently—"

A box of Spirit Stones was poured in and immediately vanished, turning into Spiritual Qi.

After ten whole boxes were poured in, Spirit Stones finally remained at the bottom of the cauldron, meaning it was finally full.

Meanwhile, everyone gathered on the other side, watching the images on the cauldron's body flicker.

It was indeed demonstrating the Basic Saber Technique.

It seemed to have become somewhat more profound.

Ye Su had started his career with saber techniques, so he watched more closely.

"It's still the Basic Saber Technique, but it's more profound, and it seems like it can lead directly to Saber Intent—"

Ye Su said.

"It's just... just that this Saber Intent is too ordinary. It's basically equivalent to just barely being able to manifest a visualization object in one's mind."

Everyone looked up.

Basically, as long as one practiced the techniques on the jade tablets—whether it was basic saber or staff techniques—and was slightly clever, they could manifest a visualization object in their mind.

Soon.

The changes within the cauldron vanished.

In their place, the melted jade tablet solidified once more.

Li Qing took it out and handed it to Ye Su.

Ye Su gave it a squeeze.

The more profound Basic Saber Technique entered his mind.

Martial Arts can be learned infinitely.

So Ye Su immediately understood what this modified Basic Saber Technique was all about.

"It's... just ordinary."

Ye Su's Saber Intent had already reached the entry level.

This kind of modified saber technique indeed did not catch his eye.

"If it only has this kind of effect, isn't it useless?"

Li Qiankun said.

Ye Su and Li Qing looked at each other.

Li Qing said helplessly,

"It's useful, extremely useful!"

"This kind of effect is practically a priceless treasure, but the key problem is, we probably can't afford it."

"To evolve a technique to be more profound, you only need to pay with Spirit Stones."

"Then... what if I use square crystals directly?"

"Ten thousand square crystals at a time—how far could it evolve a technique then?"

Everyone was stunned.

square crystal.

Equals one hundred million Spirit Stones.

Ten thousand square crystals.

That's one trillion Spirit Stones.

This—yes, this is a great treasure.

But we can't afford it!

Its effect can be called Heaven-Defying.

And this is just for the Basic Saber Technique.

What if it were the core Cultivation Techniques that Ye Su had obtained before?

If those core techniques were evolved to be even more profound, how strong would they be?

But how many Spirit Stones would that consume?

Blue Planet's Great Xia is just a tiny race.

This kind of quantity and foundation is simply the smallest of small fry in the universe.

Facing such a Divine Artifact.

They simply cannot truly afford it!

Only those Great Clans.

For example, the Star Spirit Clan of the Martial Arts Hall can truly unleash the wonders of this cauldron.

At the same time.

In other words, as long as Blue Planet has enough Spirit Stones to back it up later.

This cauldron will also support this race in growing rapidly.

The Martial Arts Hall can make a fortune just by buying Martial Arts.

Martial Arts are just too important in the universe, don't you think?

Ascenders are just an independent multiplier; without the support of Martial Arts, their combat power cannot be raised.

"We should still spend some time researching it."

Ye Su said.

"Let's explore what kind of Martial Arts requires how many Spirit Stones, so we'll have an idea in the future."

Actually, Ye Su still had things he hadn't said.

That is, he needed to know the consumption of this thing before he would know if he could profit from the price difference in the Martial Arts Hall.

They use square crystals for transactions over there.

Of course, to profit from the price difference, he also needed to be able to make jade tablets himself.

During the first Scientific Research Conference.

There was a guy in Magic City.

Who could deduce Martial Arts and break them down completely to write them out on paper.

Ye Su just took a look and quickly learned it.

Thus.

Ye Su also had some Secret Arts that he had completely mastered.

For example, those Secret Techniques of Ape Fist and the power-exertion methods of the True Intent of Strength.

He was fully capable of writing these things out from memory.

Since he could write them out, he could find a way to stuff them into jade tablets.

As long as there was a way to put them into jade tablets and a way to manufacture the tablets.

He could let the cauldron evolve them further.

Then have someone master them, write them out again, and give them to Lu Yiyi to pay back the money.

Hehehe—a pure free-loading mechanism.

While writing them out for Lu Yiyi in exchange for money, he could use that money to continue the evolution.

He would get the benefits and make money at the same time!
