Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 857 - 564: Really! I Was So Stupid!!

This day.

Yan Chuan emerged from the Returning Ruins, not in a hurry to interrogate Zhou Shun. He planned to set him aside for a while to deal with later. Additionally, by allowing Zhou Shun to attentively listen to Yan Chuan's martial instruction at the North Mansion, he could exploit the concept of Mutual Teaching and Learning to unearth all of Zhou Shun's secrets, at least regarding martial arts. Once he mastered all of Zhou Shun's martial knowledge, there might no longer be a need for interrogation; the truth would naturally unfold.

Yan Chuan was not in a hurry.

Beside the Returning Ruins, he took out the Seventh-rank Lower Grade Divine Weapon 'Green Brilliance Sword' gifted by the Iron Clothes Sect, holding it in hand as he cultivated and contemplated. Though this 'Green Brilliance Sword' could not compare to the Seventh-rank High Grade Divine Weapon 'God Slaying Spear' auctioned by the Feiyu Trading Company in Five Blessings City, it still contained traces of impression useful for the cultivation of Divine Generals below the Sixth Grade. For Yan Chuan, the benefit wasn't just in comprehending the impression; with the Fifth Level Derivation Skill, he could draw inspiration from it to create more True Skill or to further consolidate and enhance his existing True Skill.

This kind of contemplation.

Did not yield much effect.

This was actually quite normal. Why can't numerous Divine Generals simultaneously contemplate a Seventh-rank Divine Weapon? It's because such a Divine Weapon must be carried around and refined intimately over many years, constantly contemplating. This way, over a long period, one would unknowingly improve, possibly doubling or tripling one's cultivation speed. For instance, advancing from the Second to Third Rank originally requires twenty years; with a Seventh-rank Divine Weapon, this could shorten to fifteen or even ten years, maybe more. Viewed on a day-to-day basis, the assistance might not seem significant, but extended to a year or ten years, the Divine Weapon's aid to a Divine General is not insignificant.

But this applies to ordinary Divine Generals, whereas for Yan Chuan—

"Two times? Three times?"

"Too slow, too slow!"

Yan Chuan, struck by a flash of insight, realized how foolish he had been: "Really! I was so foolish!"

He suddenly remembered, since the Seventh-rank High Grade Divine Weapon 'God Slaying Spear' could fetch a price of over seventy thousand Primordial Pills, then his Seventh-rank Lower Grade 'Green Brilliance Sword' should at least sell for ten thousand Primordial Pills.

"Ten thousand Primordial Pills!"

"Even if purely used to purchase various resources, it would be enough to rapidly cultivate me to at least a Fourth-rank Divine General."

"And once I reach the Fourth Rank, with greater strength, during and after this period, would I fear not finding a second Divine Weapon in the Returning Ruins?"

Convert Divine Weapon to Primordial Pills! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Use Primordial Pills for cultivation!

This was indeed the most suitable method for Yan Chuan since he did not lack realm; with high realms in various martial arts, for ordinary Divine Generals stuck at their current realm, Primordial Pills and Elixir Pills didn't help. Contemplating Divine Weapons might provide better hope for breakthrough, but Yan Chuan didn't need that!

"Really!"

"I was so foolish!"

Yan Chuan laughed heartily.

To him, how does a Divine Weapon compare to the prowess of Mutual Teaching and Learning?

He could completely monetize the Divine Weapons, exchanging them for a large number of Primordial Pills. Not needing to spend them all on purchasing cultivation resources, "I could totally acquire more 'Scattering Flower Lamp-poles' and 'Returning Light Divine Mirrors', using them to broadcast my 'Xingyi Boxing Thirty-Six Lessons' throughout each Imperial City Domain. The effects obtained this way would be immensely greater than the benefit of a single Divine Weapon!"

Thorough comprehension!

Yan Chuan became thoroughly enlightened!

"Seventh-rank Lower Grade."

"Ten thousand Primordial Pills."

"I remember a 'Scattering Flower Lamp' only costs 800 taels of Essence Stone, merely 0.08 of a Primordial Pill, with ten thousand Primordial Pills enough to purchase 125,000 'Scattering Flower Lamps', each covering a hundred people, which amounts to 12 million people!"

Twelve million people attending lectures, with Mutual Teaching and Learning, wouldn't this be far superior to a mere Seventh-rank Lower Grade Divine Weapon?

Moreover.

In the current post-disaster situation, with market fluctuations and a population reduction of at least thirty percent throughout the Mo Yin Continent, Exotic Treasure items like 'Scattering Flower Lamp' would certainly be in oversupply, reflecting in decreased market prices, possibly allowing even more purchases with ten thousand Primordial Pills.

"A Divine Weapon."

"Ten thousand Primordial Pills."

"125,000 'Scattering Flower Lamps'."

"Twelve point five million people attending lectures, Mutual Teaching and Learning."

1 Divine Weapon = 12.5 million attendees.

10 Divine Weapons = 125 million attendees.

"Merely 30 Divine Weapons could cover all seventeen Imperial City Domains of Great Yan, influencing 400 million people. In the current environment plagued by Beast Tide, these 400 million attendees are equivalent to 4 billion, even with the weakened effect of remote listening and viewing recordings. Even at tenfold weakening, daily lectures still equate to 400 million people hearing my martial instruction, with Mutual Teaching and Learning providing feedback daily."

"By then!"

"I could soar to the heavens!"

"I must rise!"

Imagining the scene at that time, Yan Chuan couldn't help but pace in thoughtful excitement.

Involving the sale of Divine Weapons and procurement of tens of thousands of Scattering Flower Lamps, including corresponding lamp oil, reliance on Tan Yunqing alone wouldn't suffice: "I must leverage the Great Yan Trading Company!"

In the short span of two months, taking advantage of post-disaster disruptions across the Four Continents to aggressively expand, the Great Yan Trading Company's emerging strength is not to be underestimated. Seizing the opportunity to deliver martial instruction to the Yuanzhou Territory and subsequently other six Imperial City Domains governed by the court, rapidly selling the Seventh-rank Divine Weapons and exchanging them for Scattering Flower Lamps through the Great Yan Trading Company was indeed the key.

"The sooner I complete purchasing and recording, the sooner I can receive ample feedback."

Yan Chuan realized, with his cultivation level rising, feedback from a vast number of low-level Martial Artists and even Beginners, although existent, was not substantial. Accumulated, it remained acceptable, yet Yan Chuan still found it lagging. However, utilizing 'Scattering Flower Lamps' for martial instruction and teaching, providing feedback to Yan Chuan wouldn't be met with disdain over volume, as it was a source of effortless, time-efficient additional earnings. As the number of 'Scattering Flower Lamps' increased, daily views surpassing ten million would potentially yield effects not inferior to Yan Chuan tirelessly conducting martial instruction across various locations each day.

"With over ten million viewers daily, feedback could potentially double my daily progress based on the current foundation."

"Four billion viewers would be equivalent to a thirtyfold increase."

Therefore,

Would Yan Chuan not exert effort?

...

"Such a grand scale?"

Emperor Yan, upon learning of Yan Chuan's request from the Great Yan Trading Company, was also taken aback. Had Yan Chuan gone mad? Simply discarding Divine Weapons and spending ten thousand Primordial Pills just like that?

What for?

Tian Jing, assisting with the Great Yan Trading Company's management, was the one Yan Chuan approached to sell Divine Weapons and procure Scattering Flower Lamps. Though shocked, he speculated: "I suspect, Yan Chuan must have, during his martial lectures across the major Imperial City Domains, discovered that martial artists in these domains were unacquainted with 'Xingyi Boxing', rendering the martial lectures ineffective. The research and development of 'National Martial Arts·Xingyi' offered little assistance, causing the research process to hit a bottleneck, hence prompting him to seek change."
