Full Inventory Of Techniques
In recent times, Anoteros had acquired new techniques that had not yet been cultivated to levels where they could show their true worth–Two of those had been acquired during his visit to Labyrinth Palace. Sect Leader Hulber had graciously shown, explained, and given two manuals describing techniques that would be of great use to Edrick once he had cultivated them to an acceptable level…They were amongst the few techniques having to do with architecture that did not directly require one to be an architect. It required one to own architecture and terrain instead. They were typically complementary techniques that wouldn’t be handed out to anyone, but it seemed like Hulber had decided to place a fair amount of trust in the young noble scion.
…Probably due to the marriage uniting Haoyu and him.
In any case…
At a glance, this technique didn’t actually do much, as there was no benefit to having territory through this technique, but as stated just before, it was a complementary technique. It worked alongside other techniques of the same type, including the other architecture technique Anoteros had acquired.
Those two techniques together would allow him to establish residences all over the place and have them be incredibly resilient. Furthermore, Territory Expansion allowed for an easy way to link owned territory through Lodestones. Hence, it was important that he got access to a bunch of them.
In any case, neither of those two techniques needed to be upgraded. They had clear functions, and Edrick was only seeking these functions from them. They might gain a nifty, additional ability, but it did not seem necessary at the moment.
He had unfortunately not found anything that suited him at the Sect Of The Old Decay. Jingyi’s boon had given him some affinity for death-related techniques, but it wasn’t quite enough to cultivate the good stuff just yet. He would need to ‘stimulate’ his affinity a bit, or so Kaeleanth had told him.
He had gotten something from Patriarch Guild, however, and it wasn’t a weak technique at all. Of course, it wasn’t the end-all, be-all. There were no specific moves, elements, or anything of the sort attached to it. However, when it came to all-cultivation techniques–Which had the tendency to be somewhat subpar–It stood above.
Upgrading it would definitely be a great investment, but there were two more techniques to go through before Edrick would make his decision…
Energy cultivation techniques were quite rare, but especially so those which weren’t about making a radical and drastic change to one’s inner energies. They would typically be about making inner energy adapt to a specific element or transforming most of it into a single type of energy.
Techniques of this type that merely bring a pure enhancement and grant a new quality to energy are significantly rarer, so upgrading this one would be a good idea for Anoteros. Especially since inner energies are a crux in nearly all cultivation techniques. Upgrading the gift the late Magus-King had granted him would be an investment for all current and future techniques he acquired.
Following this one was…
It was another interesting technique–One that required far more time to truly yield results. It could do a lot, but at the moment, the scion was unable to fully harvest its powers. So upgrading it would be a bit silly. It would be best to have a stronger grasp of the technique before further improving it…
‘Well, it’s important to go over everything once in a while... But in terms of which technique should be upgraded, there isn’t any debate’
Five-Legged Devil Goat Physique and Virility Plundering Technique are definitely strong contenders, but compared to Paraceratherium Magus Feral Mastery, they fell short. Improving his inner energy was far more attractive, and it would aid him in all other cultivation endeavours anyway. As such…
‘System, upgrade it’
Nothing grandiose happened at all. The system did his thing in silence, and Anoteros only knew it came to an end when a system panel appeared in front of him.
It had a similar description compared to before, but with one notable change.
Of course, the normal effects were also improved upon.
‘Well, that’s one thing done, I suppose’
It was now time for Anoteros to do the same thing, but with his innate abilities. Unlike his cultivation techniques, they were all completely about matters of the bedroom... But they weren’t to be underestimated. They were pillars of Edrick’s foundation.
Although some more than others, his innate abilities had allowed him to use lust as an effective weapon, and also to build up a strong residence that could not be shaken from the inside. Unlike most residences, his couldn’t be infiltrated. Not via the most common means, at least.
All maids and servants had to be vetted and had to bear a crest, so even if enemies of his were to one day try to send assassins or spies. Trying to get in this way would only result in Anoteros gaining new useful followers.
…He had already seen some of his innate abilities receive upgrades, but it was the first time that he would get to choose which received an augmentation.
‘Alright, let’s check things out. I can already think of a few that could be interesting to upgrade…’
‘Yes’
‘Interesting…’
