Chapter 672 - 672: Harvest

Zhao Yuan had no idea that many cultivators on the forum already regarded him as a master who passed on his teachings.

In his view, he had only answered a few questions. He hadn't started a class or given lectures, so how could he be considered a teacher?

He didn't realize that many of the questions he answered were crucial problems within cultivation and the study of Spells.

Many cultivators had gotten stuck, their cultivation stagnating for years without a breakthrough, simply because they couldn't figure out these problems. But his answers were so ingenious that these cultivators treated them like priceless treasures, leaving them incredibly grateful. It was no surprise they had come to see him as a teacher.

At that moment, Zhao Yuan was looking at the various permissions his Daluo Golden Immortal title had granted him.

He had also seen the earlier banner announcement. However, he had no idea just how rare and prestigious the Daluo Golden Immortal title was on the Cultivator Forum, nor the high status it represented. All he knew was that with the Daluo Golden Immortal title, he could now access all the major sections of the Cultivator Forum and do all sorts of things.

The permissions granted by this title were second only to the forum moderators.

While happy, Zhao Yuan was also quite puzzled. 'Strange, why would they suddenly give me a Daluo Golden Immortal title? Don't tell me this forum has hidden quests, and I happened to trigger one, earning me this title?'

It had to be said, Zhao Yuan could have some wild flights of fancy sometimes.

"Whatever, I won't worry about it. Getting this title is a good thing, not a bad one. At least I can finally stop grinding questions," Zhao Yuan muttered to himself.

In fact, grinding questions in the Morning Enlightenment, Evening Death section wasn't a bad thing for him.

Because with every question he answered, he would receive a detailed introduction to the Secret Techniques, Cultivation Techniques, and Talismanic Spells mentioned in the question, as well as how to practice and use them.

Of course, he had no intention of learning all of this knowledge.

As the saying goes, it's best not to bite off more than you can chew. To learn so many things, even with the help of the Information Leaf, would require an immense amount of time and energy.

Besides, not all of these things were suitable for him, and many were impossible for him to learn or use at his current level of cultivation.

While answering the questions, he had also been filtering through them, and in the end, he chose two Talismans to learn.

One was the Five Ghosts Transport Talisman. This Talisman worked on the same principle as the Five Ghosts Binding Talisman, which was to summon the Five Ghosts for assistance.

The so-called Five Ghosts were: Poor in Wisdom, Poor in Learning, Poor in Culture, Poor in Fate, and Poor in Relations. They were five impoverished ghosts, as well as five malevolent spirits. That was why they were willing to accept the Spiritual Qi on the Talisman as payment and be commanded by the caster.

The other was a Curse Technique—the Withered Wood Revives Spring Skill!

This magic was quite similar to a Medical Skill. Its effect was to grant a new sliver of Life Force to plants and animals whose own Life Force was nearly depleted. Although the restored Life Force wasn't very strong, in a critical moment, this Curse Technique, combined with a Medical Skill, could be used to save a life and give the dying a new lease on life!

Although Zhao Yuan planned to learn these two techniques, he wouldn't start right away.

What he was anxious to do now was go to the Rakshasa Ghost Market, contact the sellers, and buy the Spiritual Materials he needed.

After exiting the Morning Enlightenment, Evening Death section, Zhao Yuan went straight to the Rakshasa Ghost Market and searched for Thundercloud Crystal Stone, Black Iron Golden Sand, and so on.

This time, with the help of his Daluo Golden Immortal title, he didn't encounter any more "insufficient permissions" issues. He successfully opened the chat interface and sent inquiries about the prices to the sellers.

However, the people selling these Spiritual Materials were clearly not the night owls making a ruckus in the "Idle Chatter" section. They weren't online, so naturally, they didn't answer Zhao Yuan's inquiries immediately.

Zhao Yuan wasn't in a hurry. He left his newly registered alternate QQ account number, telling the sellers to add him there to negotiate the price.

In his opinion, using QQ was much more convenient than the forum's built-in chat window.

After finishing these tasks, Zhao Yuan opened the Scripture Pavilion and looked up the Cultivation Secret Techniques of the Witch and Priest School recorded there.

The Scripture Pavilion housed many Cultivation Techniques and Magic from various schools. The High Level ones required payment, while the basic ones were free.

What Zhao Yuan needed was a Basic Cultivation Technique.

Judging from Zhao Ling's preferences, she would most likely follow the cultivation path of the Witch and Priest School in the future. Although she could cultivate the Four Saints Technique now, it would be best for her to switch to a corresponding Cultivation Technique after stepping into the Marrow Cleansing Realm to achieve targeted improvement.

In Zhao Yuan's opinion, among the Ying Family's Cultivation Techniques, only the Middle Level Cultivation Technique was slightly better. The Low Level Cultivation Technique used for foundation-building was not only subpar but also had serious problems; otherwise, the cultivators of the Ying Family wouldn't all have contracted that strange illness.

Zhao Yuan didn't want Zhao Ling to end up with a host of problems from her training.

The Basic Cultivation Technique of the Witch and Priest School collected in the Scripture Pavilion might not seem as good as the Ying Family's in the eyes of others, but in Zhao Yuan's view, after being improved by the Information Leaf, this Cultivation Technique was perfect for building a foundation!

The progress might be a little slow, but its greatest strength was that it was stable and reliable, with no negative side effects.

After memorizing this Cultivation Technique, Zhao Yuan logged out of the forum, turned off his computer, stood up to stretch, and then began to learn the Five Ghosts Transport Talisman and the Fire Control Spell.

He logged off so casually, but on the Cultivator Forum, the discussions about him didn't stop. In fact, they grew even more intense.

Speculation about his identity and his strength was rampant.

Some guessed he was the alternate account of a certain Great God in the Cultivation Realm, while others suspected he was an Elder from one of the Major Noble Clans...

Although the theories varied, people were surprisingly unanimous on one point: Little Ghost was definitely an elderly senior!

Are you kidding? How could someone who had mastered the True Inheritance Secret Techniques of so many schools possibly be young?

Never mind one hundred years old—two hundred, or even three hundred, was entirely possible!

No one could have imagined that this Little Ghost was actually just a college student around twenty years old...

As dawn broke, a new wave of shock washed over the Cultivator Forum.

Many cultivators, after a night's sleep, logged onto the Cultivator Forum planning to shoot the breeze with their friends, only to be astonished to find that the forum now had a new owner of the Daluo Golden Immortal title.

And this owner was a brand-new account that no one recognized!

What was going on? Had the forum been hacked? Or had the admins all turned to the dark side and started a pay-to-win model where you could buy VIP accounts?

Seeing the new threads of doubt, the people who had been too excited to sleep all night immediately felt a sense of psychological superiority. They jumped in one after another to educate the newcomers.

Under these circumstances, the strange username "Little Ghost" not only blew up on the Cultivator Forum but also started to spread throughout the real-world Cultivation Realm.

It was at this moment that someone discovered a new problem...
