Chapter 76 The Value of the Black Wolf
Chapter 76 The Value of the Black Wolf
Black Wolf has been a lackey of the Jin family for many years, yet he still hasn't been able to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm even after obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill. He's really at a disadvantage.
However, he didn't leave empty-handed; at least he received the inheritance of a skill of considerable quality.
This technique is called the "Golden Cauldron Body Forging Technique," which focuses on body refinement while also cultivating magical power.
This technique can be considered a direct descendant of the Golden Cauldron Sect, but it is only an entry-level technique. In Black Wolf's memory, there is only the content at the Qi Refining level.
"I don't have much talent in terms of physical strength and blood circulation. The body tempering techniques I practiced before only served to enhance my blood circulation."
With my talent, reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is not easy. For now, I should focus on cultivating my divine sense and magical power; as for my physical body, I just need to make sure it's not too weak.
Let's keep this Golden Cauldron Body Tempering Technique for now; we can practice it later when we have time.
"This guy's talisman skills are quite strong. Some of them were learned before he joined the Golden Cauldron Sect, and some were learned from the Golden Cauldron Sect."
In addition, his more than sixty years of experience in drawing talismans was of great help to me.
He then continued to sort through Black Wolf's memories and obtained a lot of valuable information.
For example, among the experts in the Blackstone Society, besides the society leader Blackstone Hermit, there are also two Foundation Establishment cultivators as left and right protectors.
Now, the Blackstone Hermit has joined the Hundred Arts Alliance and usually operates around Little Turtle Mountain. The affairs of the Blackstone Society, both large and small, are handled by the two protectors.
In addition, he learned the location of the Blackstone Society's headquarters.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but sneer inwardly: "The Black Stone Society has caused me trouble many times, forcing me to join the Golden Cauldron Sect ahead of schedule."
Once I break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, I will personally annihilate the Black Stone Society and scatter their ashes to the winds.
Besides the Blackstone Society, there is also some information about the Hundred Arts Alliance.
However, Black Wolf's status in the Hundred Arts Alliance is not particularly high. He only knows that the alliance leader, Yu Zhi Sanren, has a powerful force behind him, but he does not know the specifics of this force.
Before long, Jiang Chen had sorted out the information related to his grandfather.
"So, the inheritance Grandpa obtained while exploring the ancient cultivation cave was of such great importance."
From Black Wolf's memories, Jiang Chen learns the truth about why his grandfather was being hunted down.
When Jiang Yun and several independent cultivators first went to explore the ancient cultivator's cave, none of them initially intended to harm anyone. However, one of those independent cultivators was a member of the Black Stone Society.
The ancient cultivation cave they explored was the place where a Foundation Establishment cultivator had passed away.
There are quite a few good things inside, including the inheritance of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the magic artifacts used by the cultivator, and the spiritual materials collected during his lifetime.
When the treasure was being distributed, someone harbored evil intentions and wanted to kill and steal it.
Everyone was an experienced fighter and had taken precautions. After a fierce battle, everyone was injured and fled.
As is customary, independent cultivators would explore caves and ruins together, each selecting their own spiritual objects, and copying and sharing cultivation techniques and other related items.
Before the distribution of the treasure could be completed, they began fighting amongst themselves and didn't even have time to share the inheritance.
The Black Stone Society cultivator didn't manage to seize any resources, so he handed over the inheritance he had received, hoping to obtain a reward in return.
After receiving a portion of the inheritance, Heishi Sanren realized that this inheritance was extraordinary, originating from a long-extinct ancient sect.
Afterwards, he ordered the members of the Black Stone Society to hunt down those rogue cultivators who had explored the ancient cave together.
They then led people to that ancient cave dwelling and dug three feet into the ground, where they found some things.
A few months later, apart from Jiang Chen's grandfather Jiang Yun, all the other rogue cultivators who were exploring the cave were captured.
The inheritance they received from the ancient cultivation cave naturally fell into the hands of the Black Stone Hermit.
Unfortunately, these were all scraps of the inheritance; the true core inheritance did not fall into his hands.
The only person who wasn't captured by the Black Stone Society is Jiang Yun, so the core inheritance must be in his hands.
The specific function of this inheritance is unknown to Black Wolf.
He had only heard that this inheritance could greatly reduce the difficulty of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. If they obtained this inheritance, the Black Stone Society could cultivate a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators within one or two decades.
After sorting through this part of his memory, Jiang Chen couldn't help but gasp.
"Good heavens, Grandpa really struck gold. Being able to cultivate Foundation Establishment cultivators in large numbers is an incredible asset for any power."
If this thing were given to a powerful force, it would definitely allow their strength to increase rapidly.
"Unfortunately, I am just a rogue cultivator, so this thing is not very useful to me."
Moreover, Foundation Establishment cultivators trained through such shortcuts will likely have significant flaws.
Even if I could get it, I might not use it.
"Those Blackrock Society guys are really something. If they had negotiated with me properly, selling my legacy to them wouldn't have been a problem."
"However, if I can obtain this inheritance from my grandfather in the future, I can discuss it with the outsiders."
As long as they offer a reasonable price, I'm happy to sell it to them.
With this, the rise of the outsiders will be unstoppable.
"It's a pity that I don't know where Grandpa is hiding. With my current abilities, if I leave the market alone, I'll be caught by the Black Stone Society within a day."
Without Foundation Establishment level combat power, they simply don't have the qualifications to fight the Blackrock Society head-on.
"Forget it, I should focus on cultivation and improve my cultivation level as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen did not continue to stay in the dream, but instead exited the dream directly.
-----------------
Back to reality, it is still fifteen days before Jiang Chen left Blackstone Mountain Market.
During this dream, Jiang Chen obtained many secrets and also tasted the sweetness of success.
"The Dream Butterfly Diagram's method of entering dreams and simulating the future, combined with the Nightmare Demon's ability to probe memories, is simply a match made in heaven!"
When in a dream, one can attack enemies without restraint and use the Nightmare Bewitching Technique to obtain their memories.
In this way, I can easily obtain a lot of highly valuable intelligence.
I know everything about cultivators, including the locations of their treasure troves, secret caves, and ancient cultivators' dwellings, as well as the cultivation techniques and spells they use.
Which cultivator who makes a name for themselves in the cultivation world doesn't possess some special abilities? Take Black Wolf, for example; he has his own secret abode outside the Black Stone Society, where he hides some valuable items.
Although Black Wolf had married and had many children at the Black Stone Society's headquarters, none of them were likely to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Therefore, he did not tell his cultivator descendants about the secret cave.
Based on the results of the previous dream simulation, when I travel by boat to the Golden Cauldron Sect, I'll conveniently kill Black Wolf, and his secret cave will become mine.
"Besides that, I also learned that Blackstone has infiltrated the Hundred Arts Alliance, aiming to seize control of it and, consequently, control the path through which Jade Mushroom Hermit obtains Foundation Establishment Pills."
"Black Wolf's memories are priceless! It's a pity I'll be killing him in the real world in fifteen days; then I won't be able to fleece him anymore."
"The path to the Golden Cauldron Sect's mountain gate has been cleared; there's no need for further high-intensity dream simulations."
"In reality, I already have the Breaking Formation Beads and a stockpile of Bewitching Talismans. I still need to go to the Dragon Seeking Pavilion and acquire the three formation diagrams."
It was still morning, and Jiang Chen immediately left his courtyard and headed straight for Xunlong Pavilion in the East Market.
This time he asked for 300 spirit stones, but the old man was unwilling. Finally, he raised the price to 400 spirit stones before they finally reached an agreement.
