Gate of Immortality

Chapter 201: Earth Dragon Fist

Yang Shi saw various low-grade techniques there. Not every technique was created by the ancestors of the Mo clan. More than two-thirds were acquired by bloodshed and looting. You can't expect elders of the Mo clan to just sit in a room and create thousand of techniques from midair.

" We stored all the techniques and treasures here. This tower was protected by various formations. It can easily block attacks of the Violet Palace Expansion Realm cultivator." Mo Yi explained.

" We give various missions similar like sects, to test our disciples and let them earn credit points. They can use them to get treasures from here."

" I see." Yang Shi nodded.

" This is Seven Crack Palm. It's one of the best offensive Yellow grade techniques here."

" This is Blazing Fist. It actually serves as the foundation for My Scarlet Flame Fist, which is a high tier Purple grade technique."

Many higher grade techniques have similar but lower grade techniques. If one can practice those low-tier techniques well, the higher grade techniques would be easier for them.

" But there are some techniques which are only exclusive to our clan. For example, My Sky Incineration Techniques is made by one of my ancestors. And there is Heavenly Stallion Qi Circulation method, which is the most guarded technique of our clan."

Yang Shi nodded as his eyes fell on a tattered book. It was covered with dust as Yang Shi picked it.

" Eh? What's this?" Yang Shi thought as he read its name.

" Earth Dragon First?" Yang Shi chuckled. He was impressed by the name of this technique. But when he began to read it, his eyebrows creased.

" Ehh, What the fuck?" Yang Shi blurted out as he read the book. " Eh? What happened? What book is that?" Mo Yi became interested as took the book and began to read.

" Earth Dragon Fist? Wow, such an imposing name. Uhh... Wait, what is it?" Mo Yi's face turned strange as he read it.

Yang Shi thought that such an old book lying in dust with such an imposing name should be a powerful technique. At least he believed in his protagonist's luck.

Although he has the full memory of the Samsara Emperor, Yang Shi didn't want to lose the fun of being a vagabond cultivator who doesn't have many resources.

The book was nothing like the name implied. There was nothing like any technique inside it. It was more like a bunch of theories about fist techniques. 

It seemed that the author of the book had some wild inspirations about how majestic can first techniques can look. It was nothing more than a bunch of paintings with a man doing various fist stances.

" Uhh, Is this supposed to be a picture book for children? Shit, who the hell put this here?" Mo Yi couldn't help but laugh. 

It indeed looked like a child fantasy book with many scribbles and notes. But even they both read it a few times, but they couldn't find anything useful in it. There was nothing about the Earth Dragon Fist technique, how to use it or what it does. No qi circulation method or law.

There are only pictures of stances, without any qi circulation method. It looked like someone just randomly waving their hands. But Mo Yi and Yang Shi had to admit that the drawings were very good.

Yang Shi really felt something was off, but he couldn't understand what.

" Brother Yang, let's go. I will show you around other places." Mo Yi said to Yang Shi.

" Brother Mo, Can I keep this book?" Yang Shi asked suddenly. 

" This one? Sure, but why do you want this? Don't tell me there is a secret in it?" Mo Yi raised his brows as he saw Yang Shi's interest was piqued.

" Why didn't you thought that I just wanted it for fun?" Yang Shi's face turned odd. 

" Haha, I am no fool, Brother Yang. Since you took fancy to that book, there must be something special in it." Mo Yi chuckled.

" Well, It's not like that. But I wanted to see if there is really something hidden in this." Yang Shi laughed.

They both came from the tower since Yang Shi didn't have permission to go to higher floors. On higher floors, there are Purple grade and Mystic grade techniques were hidden.

" Uncle Hui, Can we borrow this book?" Mo Yi said to that elder since he had to report him if he takes anything out of the tower.

" Eh, what's this? Earth Dragon Fist? Is there something like that on the first floor?" Elder Hui was surprised as he flipped the book.

" What the heck? How it ended up here?" Elder Hui spat.

" I don't know. It seems there is some trash in the scroll tower. I hope Elder Lin can check." Mo Yi shrugged.

Yang Shi was still thinking about the Earth Dragon Fist as Mo Yi dragged him.

" Brother Yang, Hurry. Come here." Yang Shi saw an array of pillars as Mo Yi entered it. Yang Shi followed him as his surrounding became a bit misty.

But when Yang Shi fully entered, he saw the surrounding changed.

He could see vast green fields with lush green vegetation and small buildings. Yang Shi was surprised as there are too many medicinal herbs there. Most of them are over hundred year old. Some are almost reaching 500 year age.

"This is our spirit herb field. It was protected and nourished by spirit arrays. It reduces the time of maturation of herbs." Mo Yi said.

" Those are alchemy rooms. Alchemists of our clan refine pills for daily use. They mostly refine True Energy pill and Vital Pill, which are necessary for cultivation. "

" Ehh, There are so many herbs here. Hmm, Brother Mo, can I purchase some?" Yang Shi thought something as he asked.

" Sure, I can sell all herbs which are below 200 year olds. Above that, you need the permission of my grandpa." Mo Yi nodded.

" Well, I don't need precious herbs. Just need a few to concoct some elixir." Yang Shi said. Yang Shi thought about the Wood Spirit Seal in his dantian as he got an idea. It already reached the first layer, and Yang Shi wanted to raise it further. He also wanted to test if he can start alchemy.

" Stone Stem Flower, Yellow Rejuvenation Fruit, Sunfire Fruit, Sanguine Mist Grass. I want three batches from each of them." Yang Shi listed.

Since they are good in quality, Yang Shi didn't hesitate to spend money. After buying all the herbs, Yang Shi already paid over a million gold coins. But he didn't care.

" As the cultivation realm increases and I reach more prosperous places, mortal treasures will become akin to dust. In front of spirit stones and pills, gold coins are simply, worthless."

Yang Shi finally realized that his spatial ring was almost full. " Eh, I never thought that this ring will be full. It seems I need to buy a better spatial ring." Yang Shi chuckled inwardly. 

A spatial ring costs more than a storage pouch, and among the spatial rings, Yang Shi's ring wasn't bad. But finding a better one with a larger space might be tricky for him.

" Brother Mo, It's already evening. I think I should go back and take a rest for real. There is still a banquet tonight." Yang Shi exhaled in fatigue.

" Haha, Fine. I just hope that you won't forget the time due to Sister Ruxue." Mo Yi giggled. " Stinky brat, You need a beating!" Yang Shi snarled as he waved his fist.

" Meh, I know what kind of hungry beast you are." Mo Yi winked as he ran away.

" But well, It seems, I didn't give proper time to Bai Ruxue. Hmm, I guess, I should say sorry to her." Yang Shi scratched his head.

Yang Shi realized that he was actually dense in the matter of romance. How can he run around the Mo clan estate when he met Ruxue after many days?

Yang Shi silently opened the door of Ruxue's room as he entered. He saw Ruxue sitting on a chair, looking at the last rays of sun with distant eyes.

" Young Master, You are back." She turned around as she smiled.
