Chapter 78 The Great Dream of Autumn Harvest
Chapter 78 The Great Dream of Autumn Harvest
Jiang Chen had a plan in mind: "With my connection to Manager Zhao, I might be able to get the manager's certificate."
However, even if I bring the supporting documents, it might not be of any use. This person is determined to make things difficult; he can easily come up with other ways to make things difficult for me.
"To successfully obtain the cultivation technique, we must first intimidate this person and prevent him from causing trouble."
"I'm just a newly initiated disciple; the head of the Talisman Hall doesn't even know me. Although Guo Lang is nice to me, his status might not be of any use."
To subdue this man, we'll have to bring in the head of the guards. Luckily, I have the communication jade talisman he gave me. This fatso is stubborn and won't back down, so I'll ask Master Iron Sword to come over.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said amicably, "The head of my Talisman Hall is very busy and probably doesn't have time to vouch for me."
"However, after I arrived at the mountain gate, I did encounter the head of the guard hall. He said we were destined to meet and even gave me a communication jade talisman. Should I ask him to come and vouch for me?"
After saying that, he took out the jade talisman given to him by Master Iron Sword.
This jade talisman bears the emblem of the Guardian Hall and the magical fluctuations of the Iron Sword Immortal.
Upon seeing the jade talisman, the fat steward's smile vanished.
"This is a third-grade communication jade talisman, imbued with the magical power of the Iron Sword Immortal. Only Iron Sword Immortal's disciples, or those he deems worthy, can obtain such talismans."
Jiang Chen is from the Talisman Hall, so he couldn't possibly be a disciple of Master Tiejian. How could he possibly have Master Tiejian's communication jade talisman?
Could he be the illegitimate son of Master Iron Sword, sent to the Talisman Hall to cover his tracks?
The fat steward grew increasingly frightened as he thought about it: "It seems that's really the case. This young man isn't on the official records in the General Affairs Hall; he must have joined the Talisman Hall through a recommendation process, which seems more like a cover-up."
"A major battle is currently raging over Changyuan Mountain. Many outsiders have earned merits but haven't been able to redeem them for benefits in time, and they're all holding their breath in resentment."
Based on past experience, it won't be long before Master Tiejian causes trouble and demands benefits from the sect leader.
"I'm putting Jiang Chen in a difficult position right now. If he were in accordance with the sect rules, it would be fine, but he's not."
If we really attract Master Tiejian, he will definitely support his illegitimate son, and may even use this as an excuse to stir up conflict between the two factions.
At this juncture, the sect leader and the Nascent Soul ancestor will certainly need to appease the outsiders. As the one who instigated the conflict, I will undoubtedly be severely punished.
I'm just a collateral branch of the Chu family; I don't have a Core Formation ancestor to back me up. I can't bear such a huge burden.
Thinking of this, the fat steward forced a smile.
His eyes were almost invisible due to the fat squeezing them shut, and his mouth stretched to the roots of his ears, with the fat on his cheeks squeezed together like two mountain peaks.
"So Junior Brother Jiang is a descendant of Master Tiejian. You should have said so earlier. Master Tiejian has made great contributions to the sect, so it's only natural that his descendant should be taken care of."
"Please go to the second floor quickly to choose a cultivation technique. I'll allow you to choose one more."
"By the way, there are quite a few fragments and incomplete texts collected by disciples on the first floor. They are mostly strange and unusual stories from the cultivation world, and there may also be some incomplete inheritances."
If you don't find a satisfactory cultivation technique on the second floor, you can also come here to take a look. Browsing the books on the first floor only requires spirit stones, no merit points are needed.
After saying that, he immediately condensed two orbs of light and merged them into Jiang Chen's token.
Seeing his expression, Jiang Chen was also puzzled.
"Is this guy a dog? He was baring his teeth and biting just a moment ago, and now he's wagging his tail. Iron Sword Master may be formidable, but does he really need to be this obsequious?"
"Whatever, I'm in a dream state anyway, so even if there are traps here, it's not a big deal."
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately accepted the token, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you, Steward."
After saying that, he walked towards the stairs next to him.
Upon arriving on the second floor, one finds an extremely spacious area filled with countless bookshelves.
These bookshelves are shaped like medicine cabinets in a pharmacy, with each bookshelf having more than a hundred small compartments.
Moreover, each bookshelf is labeled with categories such as "cultivation techniques" and "magic spells".
However, the labels here are more specific. For example, on the bookshelves labeled with cultivation techniques, there are also labels such as "divine sense" and "magical power".
Jiang Chen sighed inwardly, "The Golden Cauldron Sect's wealth accumulated over thousands of years is truly no joke. The number of Qi Refining level inheritances is simply too vast."
There are at least four or five thousand bookshelves here, and each shelf is filled to the brim with more than a hundred inheritances.
"Any cultivation technique related to dreams must be related to consciousness and the soul."
With that in mind, Jiang Chen began to look back and forth on the bookshelves where the cultivation techniques were displayed.
Each shelf in these bookshelves is protected by a miniature array. Outside the array, a jade slip hangs.
Jiang Chen used his divine sense to examine the jade slip, which contained a brief introduction to the inheritance within the formation.
"After all, they're a long-established powerhouse; they're quite sophisticated."
There were so many cultivation techniques collected here that it took me almost an hour to read through the introductions of the techniques on more than twenty bookshelves, but unfortunately I found nothing.
Then, Jiang Chen went to a bookshelf, probed a jade slip with his divine sense, and immediately showed a look of joy on his face.
"I've actually found a reliable one. This technique is related to dreams, and its level is quite high. Cultivating it will definitely far surpass the [Primordial Nourishing Body Technique]."
This technique is called the "Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns Technique," and its unique feature is that it allows cultivation within dreams. This technique emphasizes both magical power and divine consciousness, and also subtly cultivates the physical body.
After all, a person's energy and spirit can be restored during sleep.
In a dream state, the cultivation technique will operate on its own, and the speed of cultivation and recovery of energy and spirit in a dream is faster than when awake.
If you have injuries, the recovery speed will be faster when you are asleep.
"I wonder what effect my body will have when I use the Dream Butterfly Diagram to enter a dream and simulate the future, and my body automatically activates the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns Technique?"
"I've only seen the introduction; I'll get the cultivation manual first."
Thinking of this, he immediately took out his disciple token and infused it with magical power to activate it.
A ball of light flew out, passed straight through the array barrier, and entered the cell containing the Great Dream Thousand Autumns Technique.
A moment later, the ball of light flew out again and merged back into the token.
Jiang Chen released his divine sense to examine the token and indeed received a large amount of information.
After quickly reviewing the information, his face lit up with joy: "This cultivation technique is quite advanced!"
In addition to the Great Dream Thousand Autumns Technique itself, this information also includes a brief introduction to the origin of this technique.
This technique comes from a sect that has already been destroyed, the Great Dream Sect. After the sect's demise, its legacy was scattered to various places, and many sects have collected some of it.
However, the location of the Great Dream Sect was quite far from the Golden Cauldron Sect, so the Golden Cauldron Sect only managed to get some scraps.
For example, the version of the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns Technique held by the Golden Cauldron Sect can only be cultivated to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
What Jiang Chen is seeing now is only the Qi Refining stage portion. To obtain the Foundation Establishment stage portion, he needs to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and then go to the third floor to check.
"The Golden Cauldron Sect is really stingy; they even keep an imported cultivation technique hidden away."
The description of this technique sounds extraordinary, but I wonder what its actual effects will be.
