Sui Xin Pavilion looked rather large from the outside, but upon entering, the space was indeed larger than expected, containing rows of bookshelves numbering in the fifties or sixties.

The shelves were filled with various colored Jade Scrolls, all covered with a layer of protective light from the forbidden.

Seeing so many classics inside Sui Xin Pavilion, Yuan Ming felt more confident about finding a Cultivation Technique here and was about to walk over.

The void buzzed with a sound, and a beam of white light appeared out of nowhere, blocking the way.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Ming immediately stopped.

"Fellow Daoist need not worry," said an elder wearing a white robe and a headscarf, who emerged from behind the bookshelves, holding a bamboo scroll, "This is the Heart Inquiry Forbidden of this pavilion. Everyone who enters Sui Xin Pavilion must pass this Forbidden to prevent Demon Cultivators from infiltrating." He continued without looking up.

Though this person appeared like an ordinary old scholar, his presence was immense, clearly another Being at the Returning to Void Stage.

"I see, thank you for the explanation, Fellow Daoist," Yuan Ming said, looking at the white light in front of him while inwardly feeling apprehensive.

His body was indeed carrying genuine Demonic Qi, which if detected, would lead to trouble.

Yet with the white-robed elder watching, retreating now would only arouse more suspicion.

Yuan Ming silently concentrated the Demonic Qi in his body to one spot and wrapped it with the roots of the Undying Tree, then gritted his teeth and stepped into the white light.

The white light rippled gently, and Yuan Ming passed through the area without any incident.

With his heart finally at ease, Yuan Ming bowed to the white-robed elder and said, "I am Yuan Ming, Island Master of Spiritual Ape Island. I came here today to purchase a Returning to Void Stage Cultivation Technique."

"I am Mao Yi, the Deacon Elder of Sui Xin Pavilion. Fellow Daoist Yuan, please feel free," the white-robed elder said indifferently, continuing to review the bamboo scroll in his hands.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming no longer paid attention to the elder, instead turning to examine the surrounding bookshelves on his own.

Each section of the shelves was labeled, displaying tags such as Cultivation Techniques, Secret Techniques, Formations, Dan Recipes, and Miscellaneous Studies.

Yuan Ming went straight to the section of the shelves storing Cultivation Techniques. There were six or seven rows of shelves here, mostly displaying Core Formation Stage and Nascent Soul Stage Techniques. There were only about a dozen for the Returning to Void Stage.

A white light screen blocked Divine Sense, but there were annotations beside the Jade Scrolls. The full series lives on * (*).

"'Five Elements Longevity Technique,' a Five Attribute Technique, progresses slowly, with benefits for maintaining youth and health."

"'Innate Cave Mysterious Technique,' a Five Attribute Technique, primarily based on Wood Attribute changes, advances quickly, average in fighting."

"'Yellow Court Scripture,' a Five Attribute Technique, primarily focused on Earth Transformation, has a certain effect on strengthening the body, strong in combat…"

Yuan Ming quickly skimmed through the dozen or so Returning to Void Techniques and remained silent.

"These techniques are all decent; you don't fancy any of them?" Qi Ye's voice resounded in his Sea of Consciousness.

"This is Sui Xin Pavilion, and you carry Demonic Qi, do not speak out loud rashly," Yuan Ming said, glancing towards the entrance, speaking through a transmitted voice.

The Shura Blood Devouring Map was a Demon Clan's Spiritual Treasure, and over the years, to enhance its power, he began refining it with Demonic Qi, causing Qi Ye, as the Artifact Spirit, to also be imbued with Demonic Qi.

"No need to worry, although my strength has not increased much over the years, I am much more adept at wielding the Shura Blood Devouring Map than before. Unless it's a Being at the Dharma Manifestation Stage, no one will detect me," Qi Ye replied.

"Even so, we must be cautious. Dongji Sea is no small place like Yunhuang Continent," Yuan Ming commented.

"Rest assured, I know my limits. But let's not discuss this any further; how do you plan to choose the Cultivation Technique? You've cultivated the Ju Mang Spirit Technique, and your Spirit Root condition has greatly improved. You don't need to worry too much about the speed of cultivation; perhaps choose a technique strong in combat, like that 'Yellow Court Scripture'," Qi Ye changed the subject.

"I considered it thoroughly just now; these techniques probably aren't suitable for me," Yuan Ming remarked.

"Why do you say that?" Qi Ye was taken aback.

"You know I've cultivated the Ju Mang Spirit Technique, and earlier I even used the Undying Tree as a Companion Spirit Treasure for refinement, this has deepened my connection with it. Due to this tree, not only do I possess the Five Elements Power of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, the Yin Yang Power in my body has also reached a considerable scale. Like you previously mentioned, the Five Attribute Techniques probably aren't suitable for me," Yuan Ming explained, lifting his palm.

"I forgot about that; indeed, Five Attribute Techniques aren't quite right for you. You would need a Seven Attribute Technique," Qi Ye admitted.

"Unfortunately, these dozen or so Returning to Void Techniques are all Five Attribute ones; there aren't even any Six Attribute Techniques, let alone Seven Attribute Techniques," Yuan Ming sighed.

"Well... you could ask that Mao Yi. He manages Sui Xin Pavilion, so his knowledge in Cultivation Techniques must be profound; perhaps he has a solution," Qi Ye suggested, bereft of any better ideas.

Yuan Ming remained silent. He had considered asking that individual but didn't want to draw attention to himself. He preferred to cultivate quietly, as cultivating seven types of power might be a rare occurrence, and attracting unnecessary attention would be undesirable.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan need not worry. Possessing seven types of power isn't something extraordinarily rare. I'm not sure about Chuyun Realm, but in the Demon World, mutating Spirit Roots, refining Magical Treasures, and employing Secret Techniques with devouring effects can all generate Different Species Magic Power," Qi Ye discerned Yuan Ming's concerns and said.

Yuan Ming heard these words, pondered briefly, turned around, and walked toward the white-robed elder he had met earlier, to communicate his request and inquire about the Seven Attributes Technique.

"Fellow Daoist, you have seven types of Mana within you; that is extremely rare." Mao Yi put down the bamboo scroll and looked at Yuan Ming with a surprised expression.

"In my early years, I refined a Magical Treasure, and by some mistake, I acquired two additional types of Mana, which has led to the difficult situation I am in now, which was certainly not my intention." Yuan Ming gave a wry smile.

"I see, but as for the Seven Attributes Technique, I have never heard of it. There is definitely none in the Dongji Sea, perhaps there might be some in Central Continent," Mao Yi said while stroking his beard.

Yuan Ming heard this and felt his heart sink.

Seeing Mao Yi's expression, which did not seem evasive, could it be that Yuan Ming could only temporarily halt his Magic Practitioner's cultivation?

"Fellow Daoist, do not be discouraged. While we do not possess the Seven Attributes Technique at Sui Xin Pavilion, we do have several attributeless cultivation methods which you could try," Mao Yi suddenly suggested, changing the topic.

"Attributeless cultivation method?" Yuan Ming's eyes showed a trace of astonishment.

"In the Cultivation World, there are countless oddities and wonders. Occasionally, someone's body or Spirit Root undergoes mutations, giving rise to Mana that surpasses the categories of the Five Elements. Such cultivators cannot cultivate ordinary techniques, so to pave a path for these individuals, the predecessors created attributeless cultivation methods. It is suitable for any Spirit Root or Spiritual Body, and even ordinary Five Elements Spirit Root cultivators can practice it, though the effects may be somewhat inferior," Mao Yi said, shaking his head.

"I see. What kinds of attributeless cultivation methods are available at Sui Xin Pavilion?" Yuan Ming asked, feeling enlightened.

Mao Yi stood and walked to a nearby bookshelf. After a moment, he returned with three Jade Scrolls and handed them to Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming thanked him and projected his Divine Sense into them.

The Jade Scrolls only showed the beginning; the rest was sealed by a Forbidden spell.

The three techniques were: "Illusion Sound Technique", "Star Cloud Transformation", and "Primordial True Skill".

Ordinary Five Elements Techniques seek to manage attribute transformations, and deeper cultivation leads to more sophisticated transformations of the Five Elements.

Attributeless cultivation methods, on the contrary, do not pursue transformations of the Mana's attributes but rather its shape, transforming the Mana into various forms to be stored within the Dantian.

"Illusion Sound Technique" transforms Mana into a Sound Waves shape, "Star Cloud Transformation" turns Mana into a nebula-like form, and "Primordial True Skill" transforms Mana into a Mixed Hole Vortex.

Yuan Ming did not pay much attention to "Illusion Sound Technique" and "Star Cloud Transformation"; his gaze stayed on "Primordial True Skill".

According to the descriptions of the three techniques, "Illusion Sound Technique" excels in magical combat, "Star Cloud Transformation" is good at defense, and "Primordial True Skill" features a swallowing effect, even capable of consuming an opponent's Mana during combat.

Given Yuan Ming's unique circumstances, having seven kinds of Mana, a Mixed Hole form of Mana would be easier to suppress any internal conflicts. This technique, "Primordial True Skill", was clearly more suitable for him.

"It seems like Fellow Daoist has chosen 'Primordial True Skill', a truly excellent technique," Mao Yi said with a smile.

Yuan Ming indeed planned to cultivate the "Primordial True Skill", not only because he had seven kinds of Mana, but he also felt a significant affinity with this technique.

"Primordial True Skill" turns Mana into a Mixed Hole Vortex, which puts a considerable strain on the Dantian; therefore, it requires a secret technique to expand and strengthen the Dantian. Fortunately, Yuan Ming had already accidentally laid the foundation with the Mixed Hole Secret Technique, which was initially acquired by the Nine Yin Venerable from an unknown source.

Beyond its swallowing abilities, "Primordial True Skill" also features another aspect: once the practitioner forms the Mixed Hole Vortex, accelerating its rotation speed can increase the absorption rate of nature's spiritual energy, speeding up cultivation.

However, accelerating the Mixed Hole Vortex's rotation speed places a significant burden on the Dantian and Physical Body, making it intolerable for extended periods.

"Hehe, this 'Primordial True Skill' seems tailor-made for you. You have already mastered the Mixed Hole Secret Technique, and your Body Cultivation has reached the Wanxiang body level, making your Physical Body much more robust than ordinary Cultivators. Besides, with the Undying Tree, you need not worry at all," Qi Ye's voice rang out.

Yuan Ming nodded slightly; "Primordial True Skill" was indeed very suitable for him in many aspects.

Of course, while "Primordial True Skill" had several benefits, it also had significant drawbacks.

The biggest issue with this technique was that the Mana, constantly mixing and rotating, became quite chaotic. While daily cultivation progressed quickly, breakthroughs in stages proved exceptionally challenging.

Nevertheless, Yuan Ming had no better alternatives at the moment; worst case, once he completed the task for the Stealing Heaven Tripod Artifact Spirit, he could ask for a Seven Attributes Technique from it.

After all, that Stealing Heaven Tripod Artifact Spirit had initially boasted that it could satisfy any request of his.

"I'll choose this 'Primordial True Skill'. By the way, how many levels does this technique have, and what cultivation stage can it reach?" Yuan Ming asked.

"'Primordial True Skill' was obtained by chance by a Supreme Elder from Dongji Palace and is one of the few attributeless cultivation methods we possess that is relatively complete. There are six levels, and it can directly be cultivated up to the Dharma manifestation Stage. With Fellow Daoist Yuan's current Cultivation, you can start from the fifth level," Mao Yi explained.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist," Yuan Ming said, bowing slightly.

Perhaps because the content of "Primordial True Skill" was quite comprehensive, the price was naturally not low, costing a total of nine hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Yuan Ming had not looted any treasures from the Double Moon Alliance, instead leaving many of his Spirit Stones there. Now, with only a bit over a million Spirit Stones left, he reluctantly parted with a substantial amount to purchase "Primordial True Skill".
