Chapter 310: The New Real-Time Technique Update Service!

Listening to the elders’ perspectives, Ye Chen’s lips curved into a smile. Their thoughts were indeed correct.

In the world of cultivation, strength was the ultimate authority, and all cultivators were essentially in competition.

For rogue cultivators, the stronger one’s cultivation, the more resources they could acquire. Disciples in sects were no different. They must surpass their peers, gradually rising from outer to inner disciples, and then to true disciples, in order to gain more resources from their sect.

Even Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation level experts are bound by this rule.

Since opportunities were limited, those who were stronger gain more rewards.

In such an intensely competitive environment, where the strength of one’s cultivation method directly influences power, it’s only natural that cultivators were reluctant to share their techniques, lest others improve by learning from them.

But Ye Chen had already considered this and devised countermeasures.

Smiling faintly, he said, “Indeed, no cultivator would willingly share their personal cultivation techniques. But the problem is that there are countless duplicate techniques in this world. Apart from the secret arts unique to major sects, most techniques are not exclusive.

“Many cultivators practice the same techniques. In Immortal Net’s Sutra Library, each technique is recorded only once. This means only the first cultivator to upload a technique can earn a share from every download thereafter.

“Cultivators may avoid uploading their own techniques, but can they guarantee that someone else won’t upload the same technique due to a lack of spirit stones? Furthermore, some powerful cultivators from major forces have access to a wide range of techniques. Those they don’t personally use, they could easily upload in bulk to earn a profit. That could very well include the technique you practice.

“If your technique gets uploaded, then even if you want to upload it later, you’ll have missed the chance and can only watch as someone else earns a fortune from it.”

At these words, Ye Chen looked around at the elders with a smile. “Given these circumstances, do you think cultivators will hesitate to upload their techniques?”

As Ye Chen finished speaking, the elders’ eyes widened.

This…

By leveraging the fact that techniques often repeat, cultivators would feel a sense of urgency, as none could be certain if others practice the same technique, nor if another cultivator might upload it first.

Most cultivators would likely rush to upload their own techniques, hoping to be first.

Even those who possess rare or supposedly lost techniques might begin to doubt if they are truly the sole practitioner, potentially motivating them to upload it to the Sutra Library.

The Saint Master’s insight into human nature is indeed remarkable.

Seeing the elders grasp the idea, Ye Chen continued with a smile. “Of course, the growth of the Sutra Library doesn’t rely solely on this feature.

“Firstly, every technique in the vault has its own discussion area. Cultivators who purchase the same technique can exchange ideas in this space. In this discussion area, practitioners of the same technique can share their experiences, insights, or useful resources, creating a mutually beneficial environment.

“In the real world, except within sects or family networks, it’s nearly impossible for cultivators to find so many peers practicing the same technique. This exchange platform will be immensely beneficial.”

Hearing this, the elders’ eyes sparkled.

Having a discussion area with fellow practitioners would be extremely useful.

Cultivation techniques weren’t easy to master, and cultivators often encounter various challenges.

Access to a dedicated community for exchanging insights is a dream come true.

Even the elders now felt curious, hoping to see if they could find anyone practicing similar techniques to share ideas with.

This exchange feature alone greatly enhances the vault’s appeal.

Even cultivators already practicing a technique may feel motivated to purchase it within the vault to access the community.

Seeing their enthusiasm, Ye Chen smiled again. “The features of the Sutra Library don’t end there. Cultivators can compile their personal insights into guides and upload them. Those who have bought the technique can then purchase these guides to progress faster.

“The cultivator who uploads these insights will also earn a share of the proceeds. Typically, the cost of a guide is one-tenth the price of the technique itself. Users can rate these guides, allowing those who haven’t purchased them to gauge their quality and decide if they’re worth buying. The highest-rated guides are displayed prominently, attracting more buyers.

“This creates a positive knowledge-sharing platform where cultivators can both learn and share their insights.”

At this point, the elders’ eyes opened wider still.

Could they really earn spirit stones by sharing their cultivation insights?

Buying a technique, along with its insight guides, would certainly accelerate learning.

This was a fantastic bonus for any cultivator.

Those who had valuable insights can share them to earn spirit stones.

For newcomers, spending a bit of spirit stones to buy the insights gained from someone else’s decades of cultivation could greatly accelerate their learning.

It’s truly a win-win.

Ye Chen raised his hand, signaling for the elders not to speak yet, as he wasn’t finished.

The elders were once again surprised.

The Immortal Net Sutra Library already seemed to offer so many benefits.

Could there be even more?

They listened intently, fearing they might miss any detail.

Ye Chen’s voice resonated, “Cultivation techniques were created by predecessors and are not perfect. Some cultivators with exceptional talent and perception can identify flaws in their techniques and make improvements.

“In the Sutra Library, cultivators can upload their modifications to a technique. Once approved, the original technique will be updated accordingly. For each future sale of the technique, the original uploader receives a percentage based on the extent of the changes.

“Additionally, the name of the modifier will be permanently included with the technique, and cultivators who previously purchased it won’t need to buy it again. They’ll receive the updated version automatically.

“Of course, this feature isn’t limited to techniques. Dao methods, alchemical formulas, and formations work the same way. They all have discussion areas, allow uploading of insights, and can be continuously refined and updated.”

As Ye Chen explained, murmurs of astonishment filled the hall.

The elders wore expressions of disbelief.

Initially, they had assumed the Sutra Library was merely a virtual library for uploading and purchasing techniques.

But hearing all its functions, they realized how mistaken they’d been — wildly mistaken, in fact.

This was no ordinary library.

It was a thousand times better than any other.

The feature allowing techniques to be updated particularly amazed them.

In the cultivation world, many techniques have been passed down from ancient times, but as the environment has changed, these techniques often need to be adapted to the present.

For example, in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, the sect’s signature technique, practiced exclusively by the Saint Master, has been refined by each successive prodigy, making it one of the most powerful techniques to this day.

Other sacred lands follow similar practices with their legacy techniques.

But most other techniques don’t receive such treatment.

Even if a genius improves one, it rarely gets shared, leading to uneven transmission.

Many once-renowned techniques have faded over time due to their inability to adapt to changing circumstances.

With the Sutra Library, however, any technique with active practitioners can be continually improved.

Those who buy a technique from the vault can always receive the most up-to-date, optimized version. It’s an incredible advantage that cultivators have dreamed of.

The elders understood now that while the Sutra Library offered a platform for sharing techniques, its true value lay in the services it provided. By purchasing a technique from the vault, cultivators could access a community of peers, buy valuable insights, and even receive permanent update support.

No physical library in Great Yan Province could match this.

The same went for alchemical recipes.

Compared to ancient times, many spirit materials have gone extinct, rendering many old recipes nearly useless. Alchemical formulas, formations, talismans — all these need to evolve. Older was not always better.

It was clear that when the Sutra Library launched, cultivators would purchase techniques even if they already possess them. No amount of isolated practice can compare to the progress made through communal learning.

Plus, the technique update service makes it an exceptional value!

—

Seeing it all clearly, the elders were genuinely awed by the Sutra Library and looked upon their Saint Master with great admiration.

Their Saint Master was indeed exceptional, capable of revolutionizing even a simple library.

Without a doubt, the Sutra Library’s features would attract overwhelming interest once launched. Many of the elders were already considering uploading some techniques.

As elders, they had acquired many technique jade slips from battles or journeys, which were otherwise gathering dust. It would be wiser to upload them to the Sutra Library and earn a share, rather than risk someone else doing so first.

Even Nangong Wan began rummaging through her storage ring for various technique jade slips. Seeing this scene, Ye Chen’s lips curled into a smile.

The elders’ reactions confirmed just how irresistible the Sutra Library was to cultivators.
