534: Chapter 534 The True Intent of the Transaction

"Oh? Can't we choose for ourselves?" Xu Chuanwei asked suspiciously.

"Senior, that is an excellent question!" Long Yuan praised.

"Then the reason is..."

"Currently, on Blue Star, Cultivation Techniques are extremely rare, almost nonexistent! From this, it can be inferred that people's understanding of Cultivation Techniques is also very limited. If I listed all the techniques for you to choose from, many people would be unable to resist picking higher-level ones regardless of their own conditions, because no one wants to fall behind others. But the result is predictable: the techniques you choose will not only be unsuitable for your own Cultivation but will also trap you in a quagmire of stagnant progress! However, with my judgment, I can basically guarantee that every Cultivation Technique I select for you will be suitable for your Spiritual Root and Aptitude, thus avoiding the previously mentioned problem!" Long Yuan explained.

"Makes sense!!!" Xu Chuanwei nodded.

"Of course, you aren't entirely without room for selection. For example, an Immortal seedling can express their expectations to me, and I can list three suitable Cultivation Techniques for them to choose one from themselves. Furthermore, the upper limit of resources your Family can invest for a certain Immortal seedling also determines the level of the Cultivation Technique they will receive!" Long Yuan added.

Xu Chuanwei's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice, "May I ask what price an Advanced Technique requires?"

"For an Advanced Technique, it costs one hundred billion xuan stone or equivalent Materials, plus one thousand opportunities for unpaid assistance!" Long Yuan stated.

"Wow!!!" Everyone gasped, completely stunned!

This was simply daylight robbery. Just one Cultivation Technique was being priced so high, especially the one thousand opportunities for unpaid assistance, which was virtually the same as binding a free assassin...

Seeing Long Yuan looking completely composed, without a blush or a quickened pulse, everyone fell into a daze!

It was still unknown how good the Cultivation Technique was, but to obtain it, one had to pay a heavy price. Even though these people were all high-ranking figures, they found it difficult to make a decision at this moment...

Xu Chuanwei was not an ordinary person after all. He composed himself and continued to ask, "What about Intermediate Techniques?"

"For Intermediate Techniques, it is fifty billion xuan stone or equivalent Materials, plus five hundred opportunities for unpaid assistance!" Long Yuan replied.

"Low-level Techniques?!!!"

"Ten billion xuan stone or equivalent Materials, plus one hundred opportunities for unpaid assistance!" Long Yuan smiled.

The people present breathed a sigh of relief hearing the latter prices. After all, the conditions were decreasing. If Xu Chuanwei had asked about Low-level Techniques first, it might not have caused such a strong reaction, because if they moved from low to high, everyone would have a process of psychological adaptation, which would be better.

"Young Master Yuan, we need to hold an impromptu Family meeting. Is that alright?" Xu Chuanwei asked.

"No problem! I can separate three independent spaces for you. Every space will be completely confidential, so you don't need to worry about any information leakage!" After speaking, Long Yuan casually took out three light orbs from the Heavenly Dao Space, waved his hand gently, and the three light orbs gradually expanded, slowly taking the form of three rooms...

He smiled, "You can go in now! Everything you need is inside the rooms, you'll know when you enter!"

"Heavens..."

"Young Master Yuan, what is this method you used?" Xu Chuanwei asked with wide eyes.

"It's merely a small trick under the Dao of Space, nothing worth mentioning!" Long Yuan said lightly.

"What? The Dao of Space?!!!" Xu Chuanwei almost lost his footing. Long Yuan had actually mastered the Dao of Space? To call such a divine technique a 'small trick'—if he could perform it, wouldn't he be boasting to the heavens? The others stared blankly at the three suddenly appearing small spaces; they were completely awestruck, their feet rooted to the spot, and their yearning for the path of Cultivation instantly soared to its peak!

At this moment, many people were secretly determined: no matter what price they had to pay, they must obtain the Advanced Cultivation Technique, preferably one that included spatial methods like Long Yuan's...

In fact, after Long Yuan demonstrated this small spatial technique, the Family councils of the three great Families became a mere formality, with no need for further debate!

Who wouldn't want to possess Cultivation methods like Long Yuan's?

Only through Cultivation could one gain the qualification to pursue their own Dao; otherwise, they would inevitably fall and become a Mortal in the new era...

Long Yuan's recent dazzling display certainly had his own intentions. In reality, trading Cultivation Techniques for some resources and opportunities for assistance was secondary. His true intention was to leave behind some Cultivation Techniques for Blue Star, thereby providing an opportunity for the local Cultivator population to practice, which would also increase Blue Star's foundation!

This was because he and the people from the Sinkhole Base estimated they would leave Blue Star after some time. The current resources of Blue Star were insufficient to support the high-speed development of the entire base, nor could they satisfy his own Cultivation needs. Once he left, Blue Star, especially the world under Daming, needed someone to guard it, and Cultivators must be continuously nurtured to resist any sudden crises.

But Cultivation Techniques naturally could not be handed out indiscriminately; they must be kept in the hands of his own people. The three great Families now were an excellent choice; they all supported him and would definitely develop according to his instructions in the future, so cultivating them would be more advantageous for him.

As for setting the price, firstly, it was to collect some resources for the base's development, and secondly, it was to make them cherish these techniques more, Cultivate diligently, and strive for improvement!

Furthermore, befriending these three super Families and sharing weapons and Cultivation Techniques was actually preparation for his own future Cultivation endeavors. After all, he couldn't handle every single matter himself; he needed people under him to carry out tasks. When they worked hard to gather resources for their own Cultivation, he could save a lot of time and energy to strengthen his own Cultivation and enter the Cultivation stage sooner!

Not long after, the meetings of the three great Families concluded. Everyone walked out of the rooms one after another, excitement visible on their faces. It seemed a consensus had been reached...

"Young Master Yuan, our Xu Family accepts all the conditions you proposed. Additionally, we also need the Xuan Gun, Mystic Cannon, mechs, and Strengthening Fluid you mentioned earlier that can threaten Innate Xuan Practitioners!" Xu Chuanwei spoke first. Someone in the meeting had finally noticed this issue, so it was discussed as an addendum.

"The Qi Family is the same!"

"The Geng Family is the same!"

"Good! Here is a Materials list detailing the value of every item. I will prioritize selecting Materials, and only use xuan stone to make up the difference. The prices for the Xuan Gun, Mystic Cannon, mechs, and Strengthening Fluid have also been marked. You can go back and prepare first. Once prepared, call me, and I will go to the location where you place the resources to conduct the transaction!" Long Yuan said, handing three thick stacks of lists to Xu Chuanwei, Qi Xuming, and Geng Nanfeng respectively...
