After chatting for a few more minutes, the fat man left looking dejected.
Although he has been very impressive in front of newcomers in recent years, the problem of lifespan has actually been troubling him for a long time. He has discussed many solutions with Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi, but most of them can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.
Ultimately, everyone turned their attention to Ye Chen's scripture pavilion, hoping to find some cultivation methods for the goblins to improve their strength and fundamentally solve their lifespan problem.
From that moment on, Fatty and the others began desperately searching for divine matter so that Ye Chen could convert it into Primordial Points, which would then be used to extract cultivation manuals from the Scripture Pavilion.
But perhaps they were just unlucky, because over the years, let alone any secret manuals that goblins could cultivate, there were hardly any manuals that even the ancient races could cultivate. Most of what they had were miscellaneous books or techniques and skills. Although they were very sophisticated and could increase combat power many times over, they did not help much in terms of cultivation level.
The pain of being unlucky in gacha pulls made Fatty want to give up, but he really couldn't bear to see these goblins die. That's how it is in scientific research; sometimes one person can be worth a thousand troops. No matter how many ordinary goblins there are, they can't make as much contribution as these few people to the research.
I came to see Ye Chen today for two reasons: firstly, to report on the situation, and secondly, to deliver divine matter to him, hoping to extract the secret manual I want as soon as possible.
"Zhulong, give me some divine power!" Ye Chen skillfully extracted the divine power from it, looked at the transformed Primordial Points, and said to Zhulong not far away.
Zhulong has already become a demigod, and he doesn't possess much divine power, but extracting a suitable amount is still not a problem. It's just a process of energy replacement. Ye Chen wouldn't do something that kills the goose that lays the golden eggs. The extracted power will not affect Zhulong's strength or growth.
The so-called lack of energy is only relative. As the energy of the Candle Dragon poured out, Ye Chen's Primordial Points began to increase rapidly. Originally, he only had a dozen or so Primordial Points, but they quickly broke through one hundred points, which made the Candle Dragon stop. If it continued, it would affect him.
Then, with these hundreds of Primordial Points, Ye Chen went to the Scripture Pavilion and began drawing cards—or rather, books.
He did not invest Primordial Points indefinitely. While more Primordial Points could yield higher-level and rarer secret manuals, they might not be available for use by the alien races. This was a lesson they learned after a long period of experience.
Ye Chen was already quite adept at investing only ten Primordial Points at a time, treating one hundred points as a ten-pull. He did this every few months.
This time, however, perhaps the fat man's long prayers finally paid off, and Ye Chen finally discovered a secret manual that might be effective against goblins.
"The 'Introduction to Breathing Techniques' manual shouldn't be limited to any race, right?" Ye Chen thought uncertainly, and called the fat man who had just left back.
"How is it? Did you manage to open it?" The fat man asked expectantly, a hint of anticipation already forming in his heart.
"Take this and give it a try. Remember to return it after you've copied it. I'm not sure if it will work, but the breathing technique can strengthen your body. With a stronger physique, your cultivation speed will naturally increase!" Ye Chen handed a dusty book to the fat man. This was the most ordinary and low-level book among all the books. Even the words "beginner" indicated its level. But for the alien race, it would be a great blessing if it could produce any effect.
"Okay! Okay! Don't worry, I'll return it after I'm done copying!" the fat man said excitedly, holding the book as if it were a treasure. He quickly called Mina over and asked her to take it to copy for cultivation. He himself stayed there and wouldn't leave until he finished copying the book and returned it.
"Introduction to Breathing Techniques? Are there advanced levels? Brother Chen, did you unlock them for me?" the fat man asked curiously, only to be slapped down by Ye Chen.
"Get lost! Getting even a basic one is exhausting enough. Even though it's an N card, there are just too many N cards out there. It's been ages since I got this thing. And you call it an advanced version? Why don't you just give me a deluxe package?"
"There really isn't such a thing, is there?" The fat man's eyes widened as he looked at Ye Chen in disbelief.
"Yes! But who knows when I can get it? Besides, the breathing technique is just an entry-level skill, not even a cultivation technique. It's a waste to use a bunch of divine power to draw this stuff!" Ye Chen sighed helplessly. He had a bunch of awesome skills like the Great Celestial Immortal Technique and the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique to choose this lowest-level breathing technique. Was he brain-dead?
You should know that all cultivation methods have corresponding breathing techniques. In other words, breathing techniques are just the most basic mortal cultivation methods. Even at their best, they can't compare to the lowest level of immortal techniques!
"Brother! Brother! Brother! No! This thing is useless to you, but it's useful to us! Think about it, how many goblins do I have? Even if only one-tenth of them can grow to the high-level, no! the mid-level, just imagine how powerful that is!" The fat man excitedly grabbed Ye Chen and persuaded him, as if he saw a broad road leading to the future.
"This?" Ye Chen was stunned. What the other party said seemed to make some sense. The fat man already had nearly ten million goblins. If they could really cultivate, even if only one-tenth of them grew to the middle level, a million middle-level army would be terrifying, wouldn't it?
"Let me think about it, and you also have to be able to pull it out yourself!" Ye Chen was dizzy from being shaken and agreed helplessly.
"Don't worry! I'll find those divine treasures. You can just focus on drawing cards and draw them until you're overflowing!"
"..."
The breathing technique didn't contain much information, and with modern technology, the manual was quickly reproduced exactly. Several copies were even printed, and Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi each took some to see if the angels could use it.
After all, it's only the lowest level of cultivation technique, so it won't be effective so quickly. On the other hand, Jian Mengyi's angel, due to its powerful strength, has already proven to have an effect on her, albeit a very low one. But conservatively speaking, it should be able to help the goblin break through to the 3rd rank.
Don't underestimate this tiny increase in strength; for goblins, it's a qualitative leap. A level 3 strength can extend their lifespan by at least several decades, giving them a lifespan of over a hundred years. This would give Ye Chen more time to draw cards.
Of course, the fat man didn't dare say this out loud. Upon learning that the breathing technique was effective, he became excited and forcibly ordered his trusted clansmen in the territory to hurry up and cultivate. Then, he excitedly continued to collect divine treasures for Ye Chen.
Seeing the fat man's excited expression, Ye Chen shrugged helplessly. This was good, at least the lower-level races had more hope. Let's see how much of an effect this beginner-level breathing technique can have on them!
