Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

However, he is currently only at the Chaos Realm, so it's not advisable to sell too much. Some precious Origin Dao Secret Techniques should be sold only when he has sufficient strength.

Those top-tier, even invincible beings, though they may seem aloof, are actually just ordinary cultivators. Their apparent coldness is simply because they haven't encountered what they desire.

In the original work, Xue Ying was tempted by the secret techniques of the Void Realm, but he gave up because Xue Ying's ability to protect himself was too strong.

These powerful cultivators must include some good people, but killing them all wouldn't create any karma.

"Sir, are you satisfied?" The old demon servant's face showed a smug look, clearly proud of the Fan family.

"These treasures are also available for sale in my Fan family shop, as long as you can afford the price."

"I am indeed very tempted." Lu Yunhe nodded and left. Finding such a comprehensive collection of treasures would be very troublesome; only by pulling strings could one succeed.

However, in the Realm Heart Continent, he was only familiar with Silver Spirit Island, so it was basically impossible for him to collect all these treasures.

"By the way, does your Fan family accept secret techniques?" Lu Yunhe asked.

"Of course!"

The old demon servant was slightly taken aback. Usually, those who come to the shop are buying or selling things; there aren't many of them.

After all, they are the top power on the mainland, and it is often difficult to buy them at a high price.

Of course, if the secret technique is indeed of high value, the Fan family, backed by the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom, can offer the highest price.

After all, the Way is the fundamental principle.

The "powerful" secret technique is something that all forces crave, and are even willing to pay any price for.

The Fan family opened shops all over the Realm Heart Continent, not only to make money, but also to collect various resources and secret techniques.

Secret methods are the embodiment of a practitioner's understanding of the Tao. No two leaves are the same in the world, so even if secret methods are similar, as long as they are understood by oneself, the Tao they contain will definitely be different.

"The sale of secret techniques can be done in two ways: a one-time buyout or a transactional arrangement," the old demon servant said.

The former naturally sold everything to the Fan family and could not sell it to anyone else, while the latter was simply a transaction involving secret techniques. The value difference between the two is significant.

Of course, even if it's a one-time buyout, you can pass it on to your disciples or friends, but you can't resell it.

"Our Fan family has collected all the secret techniques in the world, and the requirements for these techniques are not low," the old demon servant reminded him.

As a type of knowledge, secret techniques are valued in three ways. One type is secret techniques that match one's strength, such as the first, second, and third levels of a normal cosmic god.

These levels of secret techniques will all have a normal base price, after all, their value is there, value determines price, and supply and demand affect price.

After all, there are only a few thousand Cosmic Gods in the entire Realm Heart Continent, which is not as exaggerated as imagined.

Secondly, there are special secret techniques. In terms of strength and power, they are not actually that high, but they can be called special because they are just at a certain limit, or rather, unique, and their value is very high.

For example, Xueying created the "Nine Revolutions Undying Technique" in the Chaos Realm. The Chaos Realm can reach the ultimate in etherealization, which is terrifying. Even those invincible beings can only create such secret techniques from a high vantage point.

However, if you ask what the true purpose of this secret technique is, it's not actually that useful for cosmic gods, especially those at the ultimate level or invincible.

But the fact that it can sell for a price comparable to an ultimate treasure is terrifying.

Finally, there are the less common origin paths, and the origin paths that are useful to certain beings.

Fundamental principles such as cause and effect, destiny, and the soul are all valuable regardless of their level, and their value increases the higher the level.

However, since it's ultimately for sale, the price won't go up if buyers aren't interested.

In other words, the Void Realm Path, which involves the soul, is believed by the invincible being to truly reach the highest level, and one must start with the soul. In fact, the invincible being himself has also cultivated the Void Realm Path.

Therefore, a secret technique of the second level of the Void Realm can be sold for an astronomical price, and can even be sold to all six ancient kingdoms. Even invincible beings want to take advantage of it.

Lu Yunhe pondered for a moment. He had quite a few secret techniques, covering various levels, and countless original paths, some of which were even the most obscure.

If you were to take out a copy of these secret techniques, regardless of how much they would sell, even an invincible being would probably have to come and take a look at them in person.

Lu Yunhe also needs to find a suitable one to avoid causing trouble at this stage.

"The Divine Essence Technique, you're the one!"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yunhe decided that this secret technique was the most suitable, a standard divine body secret technique for the second level of the Cosmic God.

They can fetch a price, but it's not excessive, because all the top powers, especially the six ancient kingdoms, have their own top-tier divine body secret techniques. In particular, the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom has the heaven-defying secret technique "Hunyuan Daowen".

It is far superior to the "Divine Essence Technique," not to mention the insights into the Dao contained within it, as well as the accompanying combat tactics.

The Divine Essence Technique is much purer; it is a simple secret method for cultivating the divine body, containing nothing else, not even a simplified version of the basics, and the basic requirements are very high.

Unlike the "Art of Dimensions," which can be used by the will of a Chaos Overlord.

For the Fan family, the greatest significance of the Divine Essence Technique was that it was a supplement to the secret methods and a reference for the path of the divine body, and it did not attract the attention of top-level beings.

Lu Yunhe handed a brief description of the "Divine Essence Technique" to the old demon servant. After glancing at it, he was immediately shocked and dared not look at it any longer. He quickly began to report back to his master.

Although Lu Yunhe thought it was just average, the "Divine Origin Technique" was indeed a second-level secret technique of the Cosmic God, and a relatively rare divine body secret technique, so its value was already high enough.

Even though the old demon servant manages the Fan family's shops, he still doesn't have access to things of this level.

Because Lu Yunhe had a better divine body secret technique, he looked down on it. But even in the Realm Heart Continent, most universe gods could not come into contact with secret techniques of this level.

"It seems that we have underestimated the value of the Divine Body Secret Technique and overestimated the Realm Heart Continent."

Seeing the old demon servant's reaction, Lu Yunhe muttered to himself that he seemed to have misjudged the situation.

The overall strength of the Realm Heart Continent far surpasses that of the Origin Continent, and its top experts are countless, including invincible beings.

However, cultivators are all self-centered, which leads to an extreme concentration of resources and power.

In other words, what does my strength have to do with you? Different identities, different backgrounds, and different opportunities lead to completely different situations. The strong remain strong, and the weak remain weak, and the polarization remains severe.

The old demon servant informed his master, the Great Venerable Tearer of the Fan Clan.

The Great Venerable Tear Heaven is a Venerable-level figure, comparable to the ultimate realm of a cosmic god. He is second only to the Invincible in the Fan Clan. He is very skilled at refining demon servants and is also good at taking charge. He manages the major affairs of the Fan Clan.

"A Chaos Realm cultivator and a body-refining secret technique!" The Great Venerable Tear Heaven looked at the information transmitted by the demon servant. It involved information at the level of a Cosmic God, which was worth his attention.

Although the Great Venerable One holds a lofty position, it is not true that only Venerable Ones of equal rank are worthy of his attention, nor is it possible that he only comes into contact with information at the Venerable One level.

There are only a few thousand Cosmic Gods, and the Fan family itself has only a few dozen. Anything involving Cosmic Gods is already of great importance. Even if they don't care about it, they will still remember it.

Only an invincible being can completely disregard ordinary cosmic gods.

The Divine Essence Technique is already quite good, and it comes from a reward from a mysterious being, so even the Great Venerable Tear Heaven cannot ignore its value.

hum...

The will of the Great Venerable Tear Heaven descended upon the demon servant and saw Lu Yunhe standing to the side.

"He is indeed a Chaos Realm cultivator. It seems he has encountered some fortuitous opportunities. What a lucky little fellow."

"You are……"

The moment the Great Venerable Tear Heaven descended, Lu Yunhe instantly sensed it as well; its powerful will was no less than that of the physical body.

“You can call me the Heaven-Tearing Venerable.”

"The Heaven-Tearing Venerable!"

Lu Yunhe's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected to alarm this person. It seemed he had underestimated the value of the Divine Body Secret Technique.

"I came here to see if any traders of secret techniques are interested in becoming guests of my Fan family?" said the Great Venerable Tear Heaven.

Similar to the Hongmeng, even the Fan family recruits strong individuals from outside to enhance their own strength and influence.

These powerful individuals are divided into three levels: retainers, guest ministers, and senior guest ministers.

Retainers were the lowest in status and were required to obey Fan's orders completely, which meant they had to fully join Fan's family.

Being a guest elder is better, but there are also many restrictions. The highest rank one can rise to is guest elder elder.

Both of these identities were obtained through the process of integrating into the Fan family. Even though the guest elders held a position equivalent to the Fan family elders, they still had to obey the orders of the Fan family when it came to crucial moments, and were essentially part of the Fan family's power.

While integrating into the Fan family might be somewhat restrictive, it also offers numerous benefits, including protection.

Therefore, even if some guest elders are qualified to become senior guest elders, they still choose to become guest elder elders.

The position of "Guest Minister" is completely different; it's essentially just a nominal title held by the Fan family to facilitate transactions between the two.

"Guest Elder".

Lu Yunhe shook his head and refused directly: "If it's a senior guest elder, I might consider it."

"A senior guest."

The Great Venerable Tear Heaven chuckled. He also thought this guy had both strength and luck, which was why he wanted to recruit him as a guest elder.

"If you want to become a senior retainer of the Fan family, this secret technique is not enough."

However, after gaining a more concrete understanding of the Realm Heart Continent, Lu Yunhe no longer wanted to sell out the "Divine Essence Technique," let alone offer up even more precious secret techniques.

No wonder even those at the Ultimate Realm don't join any of the major powers when they come to the Realm Heart Continent; it's completely unnecessary.

In other words, Lu Yunhe's situation was special; he was stuck by the Chaos Origin Dao and wanted to get through the early stages as soon as possible, which is why he chose to make a trade.

Otherwise, those ultimate beings, if they reincarnated on the Realm Heart Continent, could simply find a place to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time and directly become Venerable Lords, second only to invincible beings, and would have no need to be subservient to anyone.

For them, the Realm Heart Continent was merely a stepping stone. The strongest power on the continent, the Ancient Kingdom of All Realms, was composed of a group of reincarnated beings.

"let it go!"

The Great Venerable Tear Heaven also did not escalate the stakes. The value shown by the other party was only enough for him to take a look, and he didn't even have the right to pull them apart.

"This secret technique will be kept by the Fan family."

After giving two prices, the Great Venerable Tear Heaven left directly. Although the amount involved was relatively high, it was not worth him personally intervening in the transaction for a mere Chaos Realm brat.

He only took a look because the secret techniques involved were indeed valuable. After confirming the situation, there was naturally no need for him to stay any longer.

"Let's trade!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the old demon servant and did not choose the one-time buyout price, but instead opted for a normal secret technique transaction.

This secret technique can be taught by the Fan family, or rather, the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom, within their own sphere of influence, but cannot be sold to other forces.

The price wasn't as high as a buyout, but it wasn't low either. This amount of money was enough for him, and he wouldn't be so passive or have so many concerns in the next transaction.

The transaction amount was huge, and the old demon servant couldn't come up with enough cosmic crystals. A shop in a third-rate country wouldn't have that much cash flow, let alone enough treasures.

However, Lu Yunhe didn't need to spend the money. Instead, he spent it all in Fan's shop, exchanging it for resources, materials, and secret techniques.

"Sir, this transaction involves a large sum of money and a wide variety of items, so we need to transfer them from other headquarters. Please wait a moment," said the old demon servant.

"it is good!"
