Chapter 1093: Sixth Transference
Fang Yuan appeared in front of the gate with a golden flash.
The vertigo of spatial shifting did not affect him at all. Instead, the information leaked during the spatial fluctuations in the transmission process allowed him to know that there was not only one entrance to the Golden Soul Realm.
Moreover, from what he gleaned of their performance, it seemed like there would be opportunities to enter the realm and leave it instantly with a talisman after joining the Golden Soul Sect.
Of course, they could not blame anyone if they were late to activate it and died as a result.
During these seven days, his spiritual will had found such unlucky idiots.
Thanks to the sacrifices of these disciples, he had gained quite a lot in the first and second regions.
As for the third region? After looking at it from a distance, he did not dare to enter.
The density of the golden beasts was so high that it would be impossible for him to stay hidden.
In other words, he could only rely on strength to break through.
“You actually… came out alive! To be able to survive for seven days in the Golden Soul Realm…” Immortal Tie Ruyi goggled at Fang Yuan as if he was a monster.
“Haha… Congratulations on passing the evaluation and becoming a disciple of my Golden Soul Sect!” Jin Huan’s expression changed as he laughed and waved his hand. A golden scroll appeared. “I’ll register you. Then you’ll receive the outer disciple token, clothes, and resources for this year!”
“Thank you very much, Sir!” Fang Yuan bowed calmly, knowing this was merely the style of a high-level bureaucrat. He would make things difficult for him within the rules, but he would turn friendly once Fang Yuan showed enough potential.
Tie Ruyi had never learned this kind of shamelessness.
“Li Hun?” Jin Huan saw Fang Yuan’s signature and tossed over a golden token. “This is your identity token. You can choose any house in the living area of the outer disciples, and you will also receive three Golden Soul Fruits every year! I noticed that your body is already comparable to a dao artifact. Which body refining technique did you cultivate?”
“The Hundred Physical Forging Technique!” Fang Yuan saw no reason to hide this. According to Gold Ingot, this technique was common among the Immortals of the Central Region. There was no problem with its origins at all.
“Only a hundred?” Jin Huan rubbed his chin. “I suppose the body refining techniques outside are at this level… As an outer disciple, you can choose a cultivation technique when you first join. I recall there’s a ‘Thousand Physical Forging Technique’ among those available for the outer disciples. It’s the upgraded version of the Hundred Physical Forging Technique, and it can refine your body to the extent of a mid-grade immortal artifact!”
“Thank you for your pointers, Sir!” Fang Yuan seemed to thank him sincerely, knowing that the other party was showing him goodwill to mend their relationship.
After all, he was an Immortal of the Golden Soul Sect, so there was no reason to become enemies if the other party was not targeting him.
Seeing his attitude, Jin Huan laughed lightheartedly. “Great! My Golden Soul Sect has obtained yet another elite disciple!”
Since he passed the highest difficulty, without mentioning becoming a future core disciple, he was definitely going to become an inner disciple. Regarding this status, it did not differ much from an elder of a branch.
Jin Huan especially admired his flexible attitude.
…
Cultivation Techniques Hall.
Fang Yuan immediately went to where the cultivation techniques were imparted in the Golden Soul Sect.
As long as he obtained the rest of the Nine Transference Undying Method, even if the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect appeared in the next moment, there was nothing to be afraid of.
That master-servant pair is a clue, and the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect might be able to find its way here… But so what if it could?
Fang Yuan would not be afraid of any Holy Land as long as he had no misgivings about them.
Of course, the premise was not to become trapped in some space.
The outer Cultivation Techniques Hall of the Golden Soul Sect was a golden palace. From the outside, it looked like a mausoleum without a single window.
There were only a few deacons guarding the entrance. They were obviously very relieved with the restrictions in place.
“Greetings, everyone. I’m here to choose a cultivation technique!”
Fang Yuan stepped forward and took out his identity token.
“Hmm, Li Hun, recommended by the Iron Mountain Gate!” An old man with a white bread nodded. “Since you’re choosing your cultivation technique right after becoming an outer disciple, it seems like you were only an itinerant cultivator without a good inheritance before. Sigh… You can rest assured now that you’ve entered our Golden Soul Sect!”
He waved his hand, and the layer of golden light enveloping the passage disappeared. “Remember, you can only choose one. There are restrictions on all the ancient books, and you can only preview the first three pages. Go ahead!”
Fang Yuan bowed again and entered the mausoleum.
Giant bookshelves formed mountains of books. There were few disciples, making it very quiet and empty.
That’s right. The other disciples chose their cultivation techniques long ago and rarely come here…
Fang Yuan traveled through the mountains of books with his hands behind his back. He occasionally stopped when he saw ancient books that he wanted to read and flipped through one or two pages, not heading straight for the body refining area.
“It’s a cultivation Holy Land after all. Their accumulation of ancient books is massive! There are all sorts of books… even for outer disciples!”
After some time, Fang Yuan came to a place with a huge collection of books.
The collection here was all body refining techniques.
He selected a book at random. “Mixed Element Technique? Qi and body dual refinement, it can be used as the main cultivation technique and can refine the body to the top-grade dao artifact level!”
He immediately saw the Thousand Physical Forging Technique, and his heart moved slightly.
Immortal Jin Huan had recommended this technique as very suitable for him. It could link up with the Hundred Physical Forging Technique, and he could smoothly transition to cultivating it.
Unfortunately, the maximum it could reach was the immortal artifact level, making Fang Yuan give it up directly.
An ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator could transcend their lightning tribulation with ease if they refined their body to the immortal artifact level.
However, he was not an ordinary cultivator. He had comprehended two sets of top nomological laws and had a clone. His lightning tribulation would be beyond imagination. He had to reach the primordial treasure level before he had the confidence to take it on.
Obviously, such ancient books were very rare, even in the Central Region.
After wandering around for some more time, Fang Yuan set his sight on a golden ancient book. “I finally found the ‘Nine Transference Undying Method’!”
This ancient book was heavy, and each page seemed to be made of metal. He flipped to the introduction, and the information surprised Fang Yuan slightly.
“The Nine Transference Undying Method! The mainstream cultivation technique of the Golden Soul Sect! There are nine transferences! Cultivate to the third transference, and your body will become comparable to a low-grade immortal artifact! Cultivate to the seventh transference, and your body will become comparable to a primordial treasure! Succeed in the cultivation of the ninth transference, and your body will become sacred!”
“How could such a divine art be placed in the outer disciple area? Unless…”
Fang Yuan felt a chill as he walked toward the door with the ancient book.
“Hmm? You chose the Nine Transference Undying Method? How bold!” The old man smiled and registered it quickly. He took out a token, and the restriction on the ancient book disappeared. “Quickly memorize the ancient book and then return it. Remember not to spread it. Otherwise, your body and soul will be destroyed!”
Fang Yuan nodded and sent his spiritual will into the ancient book.
Then he shook his head inwardly. “Sure enough… Only the first six transferences are available. It’s more than the first three I have, but the last three critical ones are missing!”
His face, however, showed delight as he left.
…
Night.
In a cave abode of the Golden Soul Sect outer disciples…
Fang Yuan sat cross-legged, and golden light flashed continuously from his body. He was cultivating the Nine Transference Undying Method.
“It may not be as smooth for me to cultivate the Nine Transference Undying Method like it would the Thousand Physical Forging Technique, but I’ve already refined my body to the dao artifact level. Thus, I only need to convert my technique! I’ll have no problems with the first two transferences with the help of the Golden Soul Fruits!”
The first two transferences of the Nine Transference Undying Method was to refine the body to become comparable to a top-grade dao artifact, which was not too difficult.
Everything was smooth, especially since Fang Yuan used a huge amount of low-grade Golden Soul Fruits.
When the sun rose, he seemed to have grown taller, and his skin became a healthy bronze.
This was proof that he had completed the second transference of the Nine Transference Undying Method.
“Golden Soul Fruits are indeed something good. Too bad outer disciples only get three a year!”
He shook his head regrettably and walked out of the courtyard.
“Are you the new junior brother, Li Hun?”
Not long after he came out of the courtyard, a few disciples in golden clothes surrounded him. Two of them were familiar to Fang Yuan. They were Senior Brother Xiao and Junior Brother Chu.
“Yes, that’s me. What can I help senior brothers with?” Fang Yuan smiled radiantly.
“Haha… Junior Brother’s innate talent and providence must be excellent to be able to enter our Golden Soul Sect. But the road ahead is full of thorns, so we should work together…” Junior Brother Chu persuaded strongly.
“Does that mean I need to join you and turn in some contribution points to achieve this end…” Fang Yuan smiled. “You can just tell me directly that you want protection fees.”
“…” Senior Brother Xiao and the others were speechless. It was the first time they saw someone so direct.
“I’d definitely give the protection fees if it could bring me peace… But unfortunately…” Fang Yuan shook his head. “For the likes of you? I refuse!”
“What?” Junior Brother Chu’s face twitched. He and Senior Brother Xiao had been unlucky this time. They had spent all their contribution points and entered the Golden Soul Realm, but they had obtained nothing in return and urgently needed some from elsewhere.
Their tempers rose after seeing how uncooperative Fang Yuan was. “Junior Brother Li Hun, are you aware that our Golden Soul Sect doesn’t restrict battles? Especially among the outer disciples. No one cares as long as there are no deaths…”
“I see. Thanks for letting me know!”
Fang Yuan moved his neck and clenched his fist. His entire body made cracking sounds as he punched.
Bang!
The wind from the punch was violent. The air compressed into an air burst, causing the other disciples’ expressions to change.
Senior Brother Xiao stepped up. Aquamarine scales appeared on his right arm, and he clawed.
Clang!
The sound of metal colliding rang out, and many broken scales flew.
Senior Brother Xiao took a few steps backward, his face full of shock. His eyes darkened. “The second transference of the Nine Transference Undying Method?!”
