Chapter 670: Choosing the Right 3rd Order Spirit Cultivation Technique P2

Aksai’s eyes moved from one glowing Jade Slip to another.

He could feel his heart beat a little faster.

Aksai glanced at the rows of Spirit jade slips, then turned toward the Haan Di Lord.

“Senior, I chose the Sun Moon Duality technique from the second floor a few decades ago,” he said in a calm tone.

“That was when I first broke into the Foundation Establishment realm. I’ve used it ever since. So… I wanted to ask if you could recommend a Third Order Spirit cultivation technique that would work well with the Sun Moon Duality.”

The Haan Di Lord paused. His brows drew tight as he closed his eyes. For a few seconds, the room was silent except for his shallow breathing. Then he opened his eyes and let out a long sigh, shaking his head slowly.

“Lad, to be honest, the Sun Moon Duality technique is something I found by chance,” he said. “I killed an enemy from the Green Glory Palace secretly a few hundred years ago. That fellow served under the Green Glory Lord of the Ouz Kingdom. The technique he carried was strange and profound, but it was also not meant for many people. I only kept it because it was rare.”

He looked at Aksai with a tired gaze.

“You should know, this technique is not compatible with many mainstream wood element techniques. And I do not have a Third Order version of it. Nor do I have a technique that works well with the Sun Moon Duality.

“If you want, you can choose any technique from here and use alchemy items to suppress the side effects you will suffer. But I know you won’t settle for such a messy route.”

He sighed again, deeper this time.

“In that case, there is only one choice. You must ask the Green Glory Lord directly. I can write you a recommendation letter. If this old man still holds even a little face in that brat’s eyes, he might help you. But… don’t expect much. And certainly don’t expect anything for free.”

Aksai stood quiet for a moment. He looked around the room. There were only a few dozen Spirit jade slips on display. It would be a waste to leave without at least seeing what the Haan Di Lord had collected over the years.

Secondly, Aksai had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to add to the Neural Link Fabric’s existing database. Even if he couldn’t use the techniques directly, he could offer them to his subordinates and disciples at the right time. Plus, the database increment would help Aksai in solving many 3rd Order problems he was bound to have.

Of course, Aksai couldn’t say that he had a Neural Link Fabric in his head that could record all the knowledge in the Jade Spirit Slips easily. As such, he turned back to the old Lord, his expression carrying a polite smile.

“Senior Haan Di Lord,” Aksai said, “since I am already here, may I look through all the Spirit jade slips? I want to make an informed decision before leaving. I don’t know if I’ll ever get another chance to come here again. I wish to see what kinds of techniques you’ve gathered over the years.”

Haan Di Lord watched Aksai for a moment, then let out a small frown. His eyebrows tightened as if he were looking at a stubborn child.

“Lad,” he said, “you only need one Spirit technique to move forward. Just one. Even if you learn hundreds, you can only follow one main path. Knowing too many techniques won’t help you. It will only distract you.”

Aksai stayed quiet, his eyes still drifting toward the jade slips along the walls. His focus didn’t change. He clearly wanted to look through all of them, even if just for a moment.

Seeing this, the Haan Di Lord sighed deeply.

“You really are set on this,” he muttered. “Fine. You may look through them… but only look. You cannot take them.”

Aksai nodded right away.

The old Lord raised a second finger. “And you will only have one hour to go through all of them. No more.”

The Haan Di Lord was sure that Aksai would only be able to go through 6 techniques at most in such a short time.

Aksai nodded again, not caring about what the Haan Di Lord was planning.

Then the Haan Di Lord’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Lastly… if you want to view every Third Order technique I have gathered in my life, you must give something of equal value. I offered you one technique for free. That is all. Looking through the rest was never part of that offer.”

Aksai didn’t hesitate. He accepted all three conditions without complaint.

Then, with a calm movement, he reached into his storage ring and pulled out a small crimson orb. Lightning flickered faintly inside it, like red snakes trapped under glass.

“Senior,” Aksai said, “can this serve as an equivalent exchange?”

The moment the orb appeared, the entire room lit up with a sharp and dangerous glow. The smell of ozone rushed into the air. Even though the orb was completely sealed, its power was obvious.

Haan Di Lord’s eyes widened. His old face stiffened in pure shock.

“A… a Third Order Red Lightning artifact?” he whispered.

Aksai nodded. “It’s something I acquired after dealing with a certain problem. I can’t use lightning element artifacts well, so it is wasted on me.”

Before Aksai even finished speaking, the Haan Di Lord reached out and almost snatched the orb out of his hand. The old man held it like a priceless treasure, his eyes shining with excitement that made him look years younger.

In the Dadangar Subcontinent, even stable and reliable Second Order artifacts were rare. Third Order ones were things that only old monsters and big sects fought over. And yet Aksai, a newly risen Lord, had one… and was giving it away so casually. It only spoke volumes about Aksai’s newbie status as a Lord in Haan Di Lord’s eyes.

Haan Di Lord stared at the orb in disbelief, then in pure joy.

“This… this is more than enough,” he said, his voice trembling a little. “More than enough.”

He looked up at Aksai again, this time with real warmth in his tired eyes.

“Lad, go ahead. You have one hour. Look at everything you wish.”
