Chapter 316: Service Is Worth More Than Techniques! Great Mystery Sacred Land!

The functions of the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion shocked all cultivators.

The Technique Exchange Area function was incredibly useful for every cultivator.

Cultivation techniques.

Even the most basic Yellow-grade techniques were quite profound.

Even with guidance, cultivation was never a smooth process.

Therefore, cultivators often had many doubts about their own techniques.

If they could exchange ideas with others on the same path, their understanding would improve.

But in daily life, it was nearly impossible to meet cultivators practicing the same technique.

Even if they knew some, they were often unwilling to discuss with them.

After all, no one wants to reveal their cultivation weaknesses to familiar peers.

It might lead to being targeted.

But with the Technique Exchange Area, everyone could be anonymous, with no one recognizing anyone else.

This allowed free, candid exchanges, helping improve their skills.

The same applied to spells, pills, formations, talismans, and so on.

When you have like-minded cultivators to talk with, progress is made twice as fast.

The Cultivation Insight Purchase Area was equally important.

For those without a master to guide them, or those with low comprehension, this was a treasure.

At this moment, it wasn’t just those planning to buy techniques who were excited.

Even cultivators who were satisfied with their own techniques, and had no intention of changing,

were considering spending a bit more spirit stones to buy their own techniques again in the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion.

This would allow them to use the exchange area and discuss with others or buy insights to improve their understanding.

At this moment, many techniques in the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion already had a significant number of downloads.

On the Immortal Net Weibo, the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion had unquestionably reached the top of the trending searches.

Its popularity was far ahead of the second place.

Countless cultivators were discussing the surprises the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion brought them.

“Earlier, I was troubled by the lack of advanced techniques, thinking of buying a Yellow-grade technique as a stopgap, but now with the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion, I can jump straight to a much better technique.

“In the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion, there are even Earth-grade techniques that were once only available to geniuses. I bought one with a loan and it feels like a dream!”

“Me too! I never expected I’d have a chance to cultivate such high-level techniques in my lifetime.”

“The craziest part is the price of the techniques. They’re only one-tenth of the market price. I feel like if I save spirit stones for decades, I might have a chance to buy a legendary Heaven-grade technique.”

“What excites me the most is the Technique Exchange Area and the Cultivation Insight Purchase Area. My comprehension is low, and I learn techniques slowly. This feature is a lifesaver for me!”

“Please, geniuses, share your cultivation insights!”

“The Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion is simply a magical treasure.”

“The Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion has many techniques, but unfortunately not everything. My physique is best suited for cultivating the Nine Heavens Golden Water Technique, but I’ve never found it. It’s not in the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion either, which is really a pity.”

“I couldn’t find the technique I wanted either! But Immortal Net can’t have endless techniques. Just having so many options is already a dream come true.”

“To the person above, you can wait. The Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion has a function to upload techniques. Maybe someone will upload the technique you want later.”

“What? There’s even an upload feature?”

“Not only that, there’s also a technique update push feature!”

“What??? Technique update push? What’s that?”

Some cultivators were shocked.

Clearly, they were one of those who skipped the application’s usage introduction.

And it seemed there were quite a few of these cultivators.

When they understood the technique update feature, they were absolutely stunned.

Indeed, many techniques were not perfect.

There was always room for improvement in various aspects.

Many cultivators would make small modifications to a technique’s energy flow based on their own insights, making the technique even more powerful.

And now, cultivators could upload their improved techniques, and based on the scope and effects of the improvements, they could earn a portion of the sales from other cultivators purchasing the technique.

This made many cultivators eager to act.

Additionally, every cultivator who had bought a technique would get free update notifications.

This further thrilled the cultivators.

Previously, when buying a technique, they had to experiment and make their own improvements.

But with the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion, once they bought the technique, they would immediately have access to the latest version to practice.

This felt like a dream come true.

Buying a technique in the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion was just the beginning.

The real highlight was the service that followed.

At this moment, many cultivators who already had techniques and were hesitant to buy again,

could no longer resist.

Spending a bit more spirit stones to get the latest update for their technique?

There was no need to hesitate.

And when cultivators discovered the technique upload feature, they were thrilled.

Once a technique was uploaded, if other cultivators bought it, the uploader would earn a sales share.

They were definitely intrigued by this opportunity.

But at the same time, they were a bit hesitant.

The tradition among cultivators had been in place for millennia, and it wasn’t easy to break.

Once a technique was uploaded to the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion, it would be completely public.

Anyone could purchase it.

This made many cultivators hesitant and reluctant.

Especially those who held high-level techniques, they decided to wait and see.

They were curious to see if any other cultivators would upload techniques, and then make their decision.

The emergence of the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion had caused an uproar in the entire cultivation world.

All cultivators were talking about it.

Even the major factions were shocked.

The number of techniques in the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion was staggering.

It surpassed the collections of many factions built over years.

And by looking at the cultivators’ reactions, they knew they could make a huge profit from selling techniques. But whether to upload their own techniques remained a dilemma.

They all hoped others would upload their techniques, so they could purchase them freely, but they were reluctant to upload their own.

Thus, most of the major forces decided to hold off and observe for now.

—

At Great Mystery Sacred Land, after Elder Jinwu’s fall and several precious mines being seized by Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, they had to sell everything to repay debts.

Great Mystery Sacred Land was seriously weakened.

The benefits for the disciples were reduced to one-third of their original amount.

And the elders’ benefits were directly left unpaid.

Fortunately, the elders could earn spirit stones through the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom, so they weren’t too heavily affected.

However, during this period, Great Mystery Sacred Land remained extremely low-key.

They avoided leaving the mountain gate whenever possible.

They truly had no face to show.

At this moment, looking at the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion, the elders gathered in the great hall and were all shocked by the new application’s features.

“Heavenly Origin’s Saint Master is truly outrageous, he even came up with such a function.”

“I feel like buying techniques in the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion is secondary, the main thing is buying those services.”

“Indeed, if the technique I’m cultivating were available in the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion, I would have bought it there, just to exchange ideas with fellow cultivators.”

“Do you think I should upload my own technique? I could earn spirit stones, and also discuss with like-minded cultivators who practice the same technique. Maybe I could even sell my cultivation insights and earn some more spirit stones.”

“Master, what do you think about uploading the techniques from Great Mystery Sacred Land?

“Since the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion went online, countless cultivators have already bought techniques, Heavenly Origin Sacred Land must have made a huge profit in spirit stones.

“The techniques and treasures we have at Great Mystery Sacred Land are also quite abundant. Whether it’s techniques, spells, pill recipes, formations, etc., the quantity is no less than that of Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.

“Once uploaded, the income will be enormous, easily solving our current financial crisis.”

One elder proposed this idea, which made many other elders’ eyes light up with excitement.

Great Mystery Sacred Land was truly impoverished now.

Many benefits had been slashed, but that was nothing.

Now even the efficiency of opening the spirit gathering formations within the sect was only half of what it once was.

The spiritual energy within the sect was severely lacking, making it uncomfortable for the cultivators.

It could be said that Great Mystery Sacred Land had never been this poor in all these years.

And the feeling of poverty was incredibly unpleasant.

The Great Mystery Saint Master had not been very enthusiastic about the elders’ previous discussions. He had not spoken.

Even though months had passed, he still couldn’t believe what had happened.

In the past, Ye Chen was someone he could casually defeat.

But now, he could even kill a Great Advancement cultivator?

He once thought of catching up to Ye Chen.

Now, thinking back, how ridiculous that was.

The gap between them was simply too vast.

But upon hearing the elders’ words, Great Mystery Saint Master immediately shook his head without hesitation.

“Uploading techniques would indeed earn spirit stones.

“And Great Mystery Sacred Land is truly in a difficult time.

“But we absolutely cannot do this.

“With the strength of our Sacred Land, we can recover in twenty years and shine again.

“But as a Sacred Land, to remain strong continuously, with top-level experts in every generation, a large part of the reason is due to the countless techniques accumulated in the Sutra Pavilion over ten thousand years.

“Relying on these unique techniques, we can ensure that every disciple picks the most suitable technique for themselves, allowing them to cultivate rapidly and gain great power.

“Thus, continuously producing strong cultivators and maintaining a dominant position.

“But if the techniques are shared, all forces and cultivators will be able to learn them.

“In that case, much of our advantage will disappear.

“There are too many strong outsiders, which is not good for Great Mystery Sacred Land.”

The Saint Master’s words caused the elders to nod in agreement.

Indeed, the importance of technique reserves for a Sacred Land was enormous.

To give up long-term development for short-term profit was truly unwise.

Looking at the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator in his hand, Great Mystery Saint Master sneered and continued,

“However, we can use Heavenly Origin Sacred Land’s techniques to fill our Sutra Pavilion.

“Let our disciples have more techniques to choose from and become stronger.

“This is a good thing for Great Mystery Sacred Land.

“Look at this, since the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion was launched, it has been extremely popular, yet not a single technique has been uploaded.

“This shows that cultivators are unwilling to upload their techniques.

“Only Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, for the sake of spirit stones, has shared its own techniques and lost a huge advantage.

“Such foolishness!”

The Great Mystery Saint Master sneered, looking utterly disdainful.
