With the exception of a few who remained unmoved, everyone present swore an oath to join the battle for the unique cultivation technique.
"I, Zuo Tianhe, on behalf of the Zuo family, warn everyone present: if anyone tries to reap the benefits without doing so, then I'm sorry, you will be placed on the Zuo family's kill list!"
"The Xie family of Ningcheng also made this promise!"
"The Fucha clan of Chuncheng makes this promise!"
...
Many leaders have issued warnings, implying that only those of them who will personally take action will be vying for the unique cultivation technique, and anyone else who interferes will face their retaliation.
These aristocratic families value their reputation above all else, and their leaders are the best of the younger generation; their words are not empty rhetoric.
"This is what a powerful family is like!" The woman in casual clothes had a faint sneer on her lips. She was one of the high-ranking members of the North City Alliance. "To besiege someone with no background and still be able to say such 'righteous' things! I don't know how big the family is, but their arrogance is definitely something else!"
"No background?" Li Tiegen said calmly. "A person in their early twenties has broken two of the nine shackles. Do you think someone without a background could do that?"
"Jiang Yuan! The Jiang family?" The woman pursed her red lips. "You mean?"
"The Jiang family of Ancheng isn't particularly far from Nancheng, so why didn't they send their direct descendants to plunder it?" Li Tiegen said with a smile. "Don't you find that strange?"
After Li Tiegen's reminder, everyone else frowned. If Jiang Yuan really was from the Jiang family, then it wouldn't be such a simple matter.
Although the Jiang family is not the most powerful family in China, as the most representative ancient clan of the Yangtze River civilization, its heritage is incomparable to that of families that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years.
"Let's wait and see. The unique cultivation technique is too complicated, and ordinary people are not fortunate enough to enjoy such a treasure!"
Some are watching and waiting, while others are determined to win.
After all this fighting, those lone wolves no longer dared to enter this vortex; the only remaining martial arts technique had become a battleground for powerful families.
To obtain the unique cultivation technique, it's not enough to simply snatch it; you also need the ability to take it with you.
"Very good, they all want to kill me!" Jiang Yuan looked at the nearly five hundred people in the crowd and realized that there was no way out now. He could either be killed or kill people.
Jiang Yuan opened the storage ring he had just snatched from Chu Yu and discovered that it contained a considerable number of cores and holy spirit stones.
"This is!" Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up, "A sixth-tier Radiant Gold Core!"
"And there's an unknown series!"
With a sweep of his Heavenly Eye, Jiang Yuan was surprised to discover that an unknown series actually existed within this Radiant Gold Core.
"This is!"
Jiang Yuan's gaze settled on an item with an extremely low probability of being obtained, but whose rank was not particularly outstanding.
"Impossible! Items in the Unknown series are always more valuable the lower the probability of obtaining them. This spear, with a one in a million chance of being a level nine item?"
The items that can be obtained from the core are at most three levels higher than the previous level. The rest are either unranked or incomplete. Jiang Yuan has been opening cores for a week and has never seen an unknown series item like this spear.
"One in a million, it takes a lot of Holy Spirit Stones to open it!" Jiang Yuan thought to himself.
Locating treasure requires energy. If your own divine energy is insufficient, you can only consume Holy Spirit Stones. With such a low probability, the number of Holy Spirit Stones required is unimaginable.
"Should we use a Tier 1 Holy Spirit Stone to locate this item?"
The prompt from the Heavenly Eye left Jiang Yuan a little confused. Are you sure it's a Holy Spirit Stone, and not a Holy Spirit Crystal or Holy Spirit Marrow?
"Host is not responding. The core will shut down in three seconds!"
"Open, open, open!" Jiang Yuan felt that he couldn't dawdle any longer. If hundreds of people wanted to kill him, it would be a waste if they died without opening his core.
Clang! Thud!
The golden core crashed to the ground with a dull thud, startling those who were about to attack.
"Isn't it a bit late to start activating the core now?" Dongfang Jie looked at Jiang Yuan coldly, but did not rush to make a move.
He enjoys watching others go through cycles of surprise and despair. Even if he unlocks the core and obtains a treasure, so what? In the end, he will still die; it's just a death throes.
Many people shared the same thought as Dongfang Jie, and no one else made a move. They simply watched quietly as Jiang Yuan, who was surrounded in the middle, went to activate the Radiant Gold Core.
"This is!"
Jiang Yuan's expression froze when he opened the golden box.
"Appraisal!"
"Ninth-tier spear, divine power: one, the amplification value increases based on the user's talent and realm!"
"A little bit?" Jiang Yuan was utterly devastated. "No wonder it only took a Tier 1 Holy Spirit Stone to get this! Are you kidding me?! A little bit of divine energy... divine energy?"
"Holy crap, how is it divine power?"
"In-depth analysis!"
"Ninth-tier spear (sealed), unsealing item: Divine Bloodstone."
"An ancient, lost weapon of the gods—when the blood of the gods flows upon it once more, it will bare its fangs!"
Holding the spear in one's hand evokes a feeling that defies description. An endless aura of time emanates from it, a moment that spans millennia, witnessing the vicissitudes of life, and a fleeting instant where the glory of the gods comes to an end.
"call!"
Jiang Yuan snapped back to his senses, but the spear no longer felt the same as when he first picked it up. Holding it in his hand, it felt like an ordinary spear. No, it couldn't be considered an ordinary spear, because this spear weighed over a hundred pounds.
The silver spearhead with a red tassel, the 2.4-meter-long shaft, and the spearhead with a pointed tip—its design was as ordinary as could be.
But Jiang Yuan knew that this was just a manifestation of returning to simplicity. This ninth-tier spear had an extremely high origin, and the probability of one in a million was truly well-deserved.
However, the value of this item varies from person to person. If one does not even have a Divine Bloodstone, then the increase in divine power is just a drop in the bucket and is not even as good as a Tier 1 weapon.
"You've activated your core, now come and obediently die!" Dongfang Jie saw the ordinary-looking gun and thought to himself, "Activating your unique technique has exhausted all your luck, now you can obediently die."
"Obviously send yourself to your death?" Jiang Yuan licked his lips, his body slowly turning to stone. "I wanted to say the same thing to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan took the initiative to attack, sweeping his hundred-pound spear horizontally toward Dongfang Jie's head.
"You really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin! Since that's the case, then I'll completely shatter your last hope!" Dongfang Jie brandished his scythe and engaged Jiang Yuan in battle.
Of the five hundred people, only thirty or forty were fighting; the rest were preparing to seize the unique martial arts technique again after it changed hands.
The unique cultivation technique is obviously not easy to obtain; it can pass through one, two, or even more than ten hands. Even if you get the unique cultivation technique now, you are not necessarily the final winner, so most people are restraining their power.
Once the unique cultivation technique is revealed, the second round of battle will immediately begin, and that will be the most intense moment of the battle.
But everyone overlooked Jiang Yuan's power.
