Chapter Nine: Dragon Origin Universe Technique

"Dragon Origin Universe Technique!"

Chen Xuan examined the introduction of the technique. It was a cultivation method without a grade, and each time he wished to upgrade its rank, the cost of Filial Piety Points doubled.

This was infinite growth!

If he had enough Filial Piety Points, he could potentially raise the rank of this technique beyond the Immortal grade, never having to worry about switching techniques in the future. Furthermore, this technique was perfectly compatible with his own Dragon Yang Physique. It could not be more suitable.

"Purchase!"

Chen Xuan bought it immediately. An ancient-looking, gray-covered tome appeared in his hands. He flipped it open to take a look, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"What kind of technique is this? It’s incredibly powerful!" Chen Xuan was astonished.

According to the introduction, this technique was created by the Ancestral Dragon, and only those with dragon bloodline could practice it. He happened to possess the Dragon Yang Physique. However, the book only had one page; everything after that was blank.

"Why is it like this?" Chen Xuan wondered, a thought suddenly occurring to him: "Does it need to be upgraded?"

[Dragon Origin Universe Technique]
Rank: None
Required for upgrade: 2 Filial Piety Points

"Upgrade!"

[Filial Piety Points -2]

[Dragon Origin Universe Technique]
Rank: Mortal Grade, Low Rank
Required for upgrade: 3 Filial Piety Points

Chen Xuan flipped through the technique again. Just as he suspected, the original *Dragon Origin Universe Technique*, which only had one page, now had two.

"So, it’s an incomplete technique. As long as I keep upgrading it, I can unlock the subsequent pages," Chen Xuan realized with delight.

Currently, the *Dragon Origin Universe Technique* appeared to be only a Mortal-grade technique, but that was merely because it was incomplete. In reality, the first two pages alone reached, or even surpassed, the level of an Immortal-grade technique.

"Keep upgrading!" Chen Xuan needed to complete the technique quickly.

[Filial Piety Points -3]

[Dragon Origin Universe Technique]
Rank: Mortal Grade, Mid Rank
Required for upgrade: 4 Filial Piety Points

"Does it only add 1 Filial Piety Point each time?" Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow. If that were the case, completing the technique shouldn't be difficult. However, when the technique reached the Yellow grade, the result disappointed him.

[Dragon Origin Universe Technique]
Rank: Yellow Grade, Low Rank
Required for upgrade: 10 Filial Piety Points.

The cost to upgrade from Yellow Grade Low Rank to Mid Rank jumped by 5 points. Still, it remained within his acceptable range.

He had previously bought a technique for Chu Lingyun and just purchased pills for Liyangzi, leaving him with only 125 Filial Piety Points. He invested them all into the technique.

Filial Piety Points -100.

[Dragon Origin Universe Technique]
Rank: Profound Grade, Mid Rank
Required for upgrade: 45 points

By the time it reached the Profound grade, each level increase cost an additional 10 Filial Piety Points. Chen Xuan was stunned. He had already spent 100 Filial Piety Points, and it was only at the Profound-grade Mid Rank. One had to know that in the system mall, a Heaven-grade high-rank technique only cost 50 Filial Piety Points. This was enough to buy two Saint-grade techniques.

However, a Heaven-grade technique would always remain a Heaven-grade technique, whereas his *Dragon Origin Universe Technique* could grow infinitely. Eight pages of the *Dragon Origin Universe Technique* had been unlocked, forming a complete chapter. Although the technique currently appeared to be only Profound-grade Mid Rank, the content of this chapter alone could not be compared to any Immortal-grade technique.

Chen Xuan immediately sat cross-legged to practice. The *Dragon Origin Universe Technique* was created by the Ancestral Dragon; even with his Dragon Yang Physique, it was profound and difficult to comprehend. For the better part of a day, Chen Xuan had barely managed to grasp less than one page. Yet, even so, he felt his spiritual sea was more than twice as large as before, capable of holding much more spiritual energy. Consequently, the spiritual energy required for his cultivation was now several times greater than anyone else's.

But that was not a problem. He had the system; even when others massaged him, he could gain cultivation. Chen Xuan could hardly imagine how powerful he would be once the *Dragon Origin Universe Technique* was complete and fully comprehended.

Filial Piety Points: 25
System Task: Receive filial piety from 3 "Children of Fortune" with orange luck or higher. Reward: System Reclamation.

"A new task." Chen Xuan checked the requirements; he needed to find two more orange-luck Children of Fortune. The reward this time was "System Reclamation." He hoped to encounter them at the disciple recruitment competition.

"It's time to prepare the prizes for the recruitment competition. Tomorrow, I'll have Chu Lingyun go to the Ye family." The reason Chen Xuan was confident he could produce a Saint-grade technique was that the Ye family had taken almost all the techniques from the Xuan Dan Sect, including many high-level Earth-grade techniques and even Heaven-grade ones. Once Chu Lingyun retrieved them and the system triggered a critical hit for him, he would have enough to obtain a Saint-grade technique.

The next day, Chu Lingyun came to help Chen Xuan dress early in the morning, just as she had the day before. She had even washed his feet the previous night. Even though Chen Xuan’s current level meant he no longer needed to wash or groom himself, the system allowed him to receive cultivation rewards whenever Chu Lingyun bathed him or helped him dress. Chen Xuan accepted this gladly.

[Chu Lingyun washed your feet, Reward: 10 years of cultivation]
[Chu Lingyun warmed your bed, Reward: 10 years of cultivation]
[Chu Lingyun helped you dress, Reward: 10 years of cultivation]

"I don't have to do anything all day and can gain at least several decades of cultivation. If others knew, they would be green with envy," Chen Xuan thought with secret delight.

"Lingyun," Chen Xuan called out to her as she served him tea.

"Sect Master, what are your orders?" Chu Lingyun’s tone was respectful. After yesterday, she had finally entered the world of cultivation and experienced the feeling of practicing. In her heart, she was already completely devoted to Chen Xuan.

"Go to the Ye family today," Chen Xuan said.

"What!" Chu Lingyun’s small face turned pale. Thinking Chen Xuan was about to drive her away, she fell to her knees with a thud. "Sect Master, if I have done something wrong, I will change it immediately. Please, do not cast me aside."

"You silly girl," Chen Xuan chuckled, ruffling her hair with his hand. "You are my treasure. How could I bear to cast you aside?" This was the truth. Chu Lingyun possessed golden-level luck; there was no way he would ever let her go.

"Treasure..." Hearing his words, Chu Lingyun felt a warmth spread through her heart, and a blush crept across her cheeks. So, she was that important to him.

"Then why do you want me to go to the Ye family, Sect Master?" she asked.

Chen Xuan stated directly: "I want you to go to the Ye family and take back everything that Ye Xueyan took from the Xuan Dan Sect."

"I see." Chu Lingyun was well aware of the situation with the Ye family. The only reason the Ye family had reached its current scale was that they had continuously drained the Xuan Dan Sect.

"Don't worry, Sect Master, I won't let you down!" Chu Lingyun’s eyes were firm. The Ye family had bullied her so severely; she would never forgive them. Her Sect Master had shown her immense grace, and she would absolutely not disappoint him. She would ensure the belongings of the Xuan Dan Sect were returned.
