228: Reward: Instant teleportation

"The second technique is the Nine Yang Divine Art. This Cultivation Technique is the pinnacle of pure yang, capable of countering all martial arts with yin or poisonous attributes. Moreover, once mastered, one's Internal Energy becomes self-generating and inexhaustible."

"Furthermore, it grants immunity to all poisons, allowing you to achieve twice the result with half the effort when cultivating other martial arts."

"The third technique is an ultimate yang palm technique, the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms. This palm technique was originally the exclusive martial art of the Beggars Sect."

"However, aside from its creator, in today's Martial Forest, only the Northern Beggars Sect's Hong Qi has practiced it to a passable level."

"You must diligently Cultivate these three techniques without any negligence."

"Remember this principle for your future journeys in the Jianghu: My disciple, Duan Zhengchun's disciple, does not seek trouble, but neither do we fear it."

"This item is a marrow cleansing pill. It can cleanse one's marrow, enhance cultivation Aptitude, making your cultivation process smoother and more effortless."

When Duan Zhengchun mentioned the Northern Darkness Divine Art, everyone present, except for Dao Baifeng, Zhao Min, and Little Butterfly, stared at him in shock.

The reason was simple: Duan Zhengchun's description of the Northern Darkness Divine Art was too domineering—absorbing the Internal Energy of the world for one's own use. Could such a terrifying technique truly exist in the world?

Upon hearing about the Nine Yang Divine Art, their jaws dropped wide open.

Cultivated to its highest Realm, Internal Energy becomes self-generating and inexhaustible, and it also grants immunity to all poisons?

Could such a technique really exist in this world? This was the very technique countless martial artists dreamed of obtaining.

Compared to the first two techniques, the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms seemed somewhat ordinary.

After all, they had all heard of this palm technique, hailed as the number one palm technique under heaven. But compared to the Northern Darkness Divine Art and the Nine Yang Divine Art, it seemed weaker.

Xiao Feng was completely stunned. These three techniques were too incredible.

Xiao Yuanshan hadn't expected Duan Zhengchun to be so generous. He had seen Duan Zhengchun use the Northern Darkness Divine Art and the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms before.

Especially the Northern Darkness Divine Art—even an Earth Immortal Realm Master like Murong Longcheng could be drained dry in an instant. How terrifyingly domineering was that?

As for the effects of the marrow cleansing pill, the shock it brought was no less than that of the previous three techniques.

Marrow Cleansing, enhancing cultivation Aptitude—it was no exaggeration to say that if anyone in the Jianghu heard this pill was in Duan Zhengchun's possession, the shock would be no less than that caused by the heavenly demon zither.

Xiao Yuanshan was utterly dumbfounded. Marrow Cleansing!

As a Great Grandmaster, he naturally understood the immense value implied by those words.

Simultaneously, the look in his eyes towards Duan Zhengchun changed, filled with gratitude and determination.

He secretly vowed in his heart that as long as he lived, he would absolutely not allow anyone to harm Duan Zhengchun in the slightest.

Even though his current strength was only that of a Great Grandmaster, he would not permit such a thing to happen. Nor would he allow anyone to harm even a single blade of grass or tree within the Prince's mansion.

"Xiao Yuanshan thanks Your Highness for bestowing the pill and transmitting the techniques. I won't waste words. From now on, as long as I am here, no one will harm Your Highness or the Madam."

"No need for empty words. This prince prefers practical action," Duan Zhengchun waved his hand.

"Thank you, Master. Your disciple will strictly follow your teachings and will definitely not disappoint you."

Xiao Feng kowtowed to Duan Zhengchun in gratitude. Duan Zhengchun brought two fingers together and pointed them at the center of Xiao Feng's brow.

This was called Divine Sense transmission—a method he only possessed after reaching the Land Immortal Realm.

It was infinitely more convenient than those Secret Manuals.

Soon, all three techniques were imprinted into Xiao Feng's mind, impossible to forget.

"Old Zhu, take them down and arrange a place for the father and son to stay."

Zhu Danchen stepped forward and led Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Feng away.

"Ding. Congratulations, Host, on completing the task. Reward: Passive Skill, Instantaneous Movement. The Host can move freely within their perception range."

"Reward: Yin Yang Cultivation Technique."

Hearing the second reward, Duan Zhengchun's eyes instantly lit up.

He had been worried before about how to improve Dao Baifeng and the others' strength. Now it was perfect; with this technique, he wouldn't have to worry about their slow progress anymore.

Of course, he could also use the dà huán dāns to boost strength, but the effect of the first pill was decent.

Taking a second one, however, would see its effectiveness greatly diminished.

After all, all medicine has some toxicity. Taking too much not only reduces effectiveness but also accumulates pill toxins within the body, limiting future growth.

He certainly didn't want to see that happen. But Dual Cultivation was different.

This method of increasing strength had no side effects whatsoever and could even enhance the bond between husband and wife.

"Now I've reached the Peak of the Land Immortal Realm. Could this be the pinnacle of this world? I wonder what lies beyond the Land Immortal Realm."

"Could it be that breaking through again would mean ascending on the spot?"

"Damn System, this prince is now at the Peak of the Land Immortal Realm. How do I break through further?"

"If I break through again, will I ascend directly on the spot?"

"Host, the Land Immortal Realm is merely the starting point, not the end."

"Please continue your efforts, Host."

"Holy shit! The Land Immortal Realm is the starting point? Then tell me, what Realm is above the Land Immortal Realm?"

"The Realm above the Land Immortal Realm is the Golden Core."

Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but curse. Above the Earth Immortal Realm was the Golden Core? Then what Realm was he considered to be in now?

"Holy shit! So you're telling me I'm only at the Foundation Establishment stage right now?"

"Yes, Host can understand it that way."

Em...

Duan Zhengchun felt utterly bewildered. He initially thought the System rewards were too generous. Now it seemed this damn System was a complete scam.

At this point, it turns out things are just beginning.

Foundation Establishment! Before Foundation Establishment comes Artifact Refining. This damn System gave me a cultivation System!

"It's too damn deceitful! Why didn't you say so earlier? If you had, I would have slaughtered everyone and frantically absorbed others' Internal Energy long ago!"

After breakfast, Duan Zhengchun embarked on the journey to Deaf-Mute Valley.

This time, he had no one accompanying him. However, the distance to Deaf-Mute Valley wasn't far, and if he encountered danger, the System would issue a warning.

At that time, he could use Instantaneous Movement to return.

"Sister, are you really so at ease letting His Highness leave alone?"

"Aren't you afraid he'll bring back new sisters when he returns?" A Li asked, looking at Dao Baifeng who was still lingering at the doorway.
