Chapter 251: Clone Technique (2)
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
For example, a clone with a fourth-grade heaven and earth spirit root could only be raised to the Nascent Soul realm even if a cultivator was willing to spend a lot of effort and resources.
However, this was basically the limit. Without heaven-defying opportunities, it was impossible to continue breaking through and raise his cultivation to the Primordial Soul realm.
Of course.
It was hard to say whether a cultivator’s original body could form an Immortal Soul, let alone an avatar.
Therefore, many cultivators would choose to refine their spiritual treasure avatars.
Firstly, spiritual treasures such as spiritual plants were much cheaper than high-grade magic tools. Secondly, the potential of spiritual treasure avatars was greater than magic tool avatars, so they were naturally more favored by cultivators.
The third type was the flesh clone.
As the name implied.
Flesh clones were clones that were created by using the flesh and blood of one’s own body or another life form.
For example, the clone that Daoist Master Shenjue refined with the immortal corpse was a type of flesh clone.
Once this clone was successfully refined, its potential would be the greatest.
If the clone’s innate talent was better than the main body, then once the refinement was successful, it would not be the clone that would be a burden to the main body, but the main body.
This was because the clone would be limited by the cultivation of the main body.
For example, Daoist Master Shenjue was a classic example of his main body dragging down his clone.
Even though the potential of the flesh clone was huge, this clone also had a flaw, which was that it was difficult to obtain materials.
After all, not everyone could be as heaven-defying as Perfected Shenjue and use an immortal’s corpse to refine an avatar.
Therefore, many cultivators who chose to create clones would cut off a piece of flesh from their own body and use a large amount of resources to refine it into a clone.
Once this clone was successfully refined, its potential and strength would be similar to the original body.
These three types of avatar techniques were all the types of avatar secret techniques that the Qian Yuan Sword Sect could exchange for.
After reading the introduction in the jade slip.
Chen Daoxuan pulled his divine sense out of the jade slip and raised his head.””Old Brother Zhang, I’ll exchange for this ‘Calamity Substitution.’”
Hearing this.
Zhang Yu took the jade slip and looked at it briefly. An expression of surprise appeared on his face.
“Substitution Calamity is a clone technique. Brother Chen chose this clone technique because you’ve taken a fancy to the secret treasure that Tai Zhou used to cultivate its clones, right?”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan was slightly stunned,””An artifact that cultivates clones?”
“What, Brother Chen doesn’t know?”
Zhang Yu was also stunned. He immediately slapped his forehead, shook his head, and laughed.”Brother Chen, please don’t blame me. The exchange rate for battle merits is based on the cultivation level of the cultivator. I forgot that Brother Chen is still at the Foundation Establishment stage.”
After saying that, he cupped his hands and begged for mercy.
Seeing this.
Chen Daoxuan could only smile bitterly.
It seemed that in the eyes of the Azure Prefecture Cultivators, although he, Chen Daoxuan, was not a Zifu Disciple, he was more powerful than a Zifu Disciple. No one would treat him as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
“Brother Chen, please take a look.”
As he spoke, Zhang Yu took out another jade slip.
Chen Daoxuan took the jade slip and checked it again.
As expected, the treasures recorded in this jade slip were much more varied than the first jade slip Chen Daoxuan had obtained.
In addition, the vast majority of them were precious treasures that only Zifu Disciples could use.
“This is…”
When Chen Daoxuan saw a treasure that was as resplendent as a blood diamond, his gaze could not help but narrow.
The artifact he saw was none other than the blood crystal he had obtained in the True Demon Realm.
Chen Daoxuan didn’t think too much about it and asked casually,””Old Brother Zhang, are you referring to this kind of treasure called the Blood Crystal?”
“Yes!
” Yes.” Zhang Yu nodded and smiled.” Blood crystals are a specialty of Taizhou. Not only can they cultivate flesh clones, but they can also strengthen a cultivator’s cultivation.”
However, blood crystals were extremely precious. It was said that at the auction in Tai Zhou, a blood crystal could be sold for more than 100,000 spirit stones, so very few cultivators would squander and use it to refine their bodies.
In addition, every time the blood crystal appeared, it would be quickly divided up by the cultivators of Tai Province. It was normal that you had never heard of such a treasure.”
Zhang Yu paused.” If you want to use your own flesh and blood as the foundation to cultivate a flesh clone, you need at least 100 blood crystals, which is 10 million spirit stones.”
Speaking of this, Zhang Yu shook his head and was speechless at Chen Daoxuan’s squandering.
Although Zhang Yu had joined the Qian Cloud Palace of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect, he was still an itinerant cultivator. In addition, his talent could not be compared to a genius cultivator like Chen Daoxuan.
Therefore, Chen Daoxuan’s spending of tens of millions of spirit stones was simply a spendthrift to him.
One had to know.
With so many spirit stones, he could basically buy a Purple Mansion Pill from the auction house.
With the Purple Mansion Pill, there was at least a 50% chance of opening the Purple Mansion. Wasn’t this more cost-effective than refining some avatar?
Moreover, a hundred blood crystals was only the initial success of refining the clone.
At this time, the cultivation of the flesh clone was only at the Refinement Stage at most. If he wanted to raise it to the Foundation Establishment Stage in a short period of time, he might have to spend millions of spirit stones.
It was not wise to waste so much time and effort just to obtain the strength of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
But immediately.
Zhang Yu thought of Chen Daoxuan’s terrifying sword realm and could not help but understand why he wanted to refine his clone.
For ordinary cultivators.
Spending more than ten million spirit stones to nurture a Foundation Establishment clone was meaningless.
However, for Chen Daoxuan, a Foundation Establishment clone that had been nurtured with more than ten million spirit stones and had the power of a Zifu Disciple was not a loss.
After all.
A Zifu Disciple was worth more than ten million spirit stones.
In that case, wouldn’t it be very difficult to buy a hundred blood crystals?”
Chen Daoxuan frowned.
Hearing this.
Zhang Yu opened his mouth and didn’t know how to answer.
Chen Daoxuan didn’t say that the price was high, but he felt that ten million spirit stones might not be able to buy a hundred blood crystals. It was so light that he didn’t care about the huge sum of ten million spirit stones.
Zhang Yu felt helpless.
“It’s not very difficult.”
Zhang Yu frowned.” If you want to buy blood crystals, it’ll depend on your luck,
Brother Chen.”
Luck?”
When Chen Daoxuan heard this, he could not help being stunned.
Buying things depended on luck, which only proved that the supply of blood crystals was not very stable.
“Yes, luck,”
Zhang Yu nodded.” Although most of the time, the blood crystals will be snatched up by the cultivators of Taizhou, it’s not absolute because Taizhou will produce a large number of blood crystals from time to time.
At that time, the price of blood crystals would plummet. So, whether Brother Chen can get what he wants depends on your luck.”
“1 see.”
Chen Daoxuan nodded.
Upon hearing this, Chen Daoxuan understood that there must be a passage to the True Demon Realm in Taizhou. Moreover, it was possible that the local high-level cultivators of Taizhou had participated in the development of the True Demon Realm.
In fact…
There was more than one passage to the True Demon Realm in Taizhou. Otherwise, they would not have been able to produce so many blood crystals.
One had to know.
If the blood crystals were rare, they wouldn’t have spread.
For example, Chen Daoxuan had a blood crystal in his hands. He would definitely not reveal it to the outside world.
The fact that this thing could spread in Taizhou and even be auctioned proved that Taizhou’s blood crystals probably already had the most basic production channels.
In other words.
It was very likely that the Qianyuan Sword Sect had established a certain foundation on the opposite side of the Taizhou passage.
Thinking of this…
“Brother Zhang, this blood crystal is so magical. How is it produced?” Chen Daoxuan asked calmly.”
Hearing this.
Zhang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly as he shook his head.Tm not too sure about that. Brother Chen, you also know that I’ve been staying at the front line of the Yun Nation before this. I’ve only recently been transferred back to Cangzhou to be in charge of Cangzhou’s affairs. How would I know about the situation in Taizhou?”
Zhang Yu laughed.
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan smiled,”You’re right, I was too rash.
“Brother Chen, you’re asking this because…”
“Why else?”
Chen Daoxuan smiled bitterly.” I heard that blood crystals can help cultivators refine their bodies. How can I not be tempted? Old Brother Zhang, you know that low-grade spirit rice is less and less helpful for cultivators to cultivate their bodies, and high-grade spirit rice is expensive and hard to come by.
I was thinking that if there was a way to nurture the blood crystals…”
Hearing this.
Zhang Yu couldn’t help but laugh. He pointed at Chen Daoxuan and said,””Brother Chen, let’s not talk about whether this blood crystal can be artificially cultivated. Even if he could, do you think any family would be willing to sell such a cultivation method?”
Uh, Old Brother Zhang is right.”
Chen Daoxuan put on an expression of realization and cupped his hands..
