Chapter 936: Seeking the Path of Inquiry
Chapter 936: Seeking the Path of Inquiry
Chen Chuan contemplated for a moment. Although the Wan Song Platform provided Six Yang Gold, it didn't specify the exact source, only mentioning that it came from the opposite side.
This, in itself, was a form of monopoly, an information monopoly.
Even so, some information had leaked out. The Six Yang Gold was available for just two Platform Coins, indirectly indicating that despite its apparent rarity, it wasn't an exceptionally scarce item. Unless, of course, the platform intentionally subsidized fighters.
This situation might exist, but he didn't think so. There were no statements or notes in the service entry, and without specific clarification, fighters wouldn't feel grateful; they would only suspect ulterior motives. They had no reason to invite such trouble.
It seemed that the platform wasn't going to reveal the source, and public queries might leave traces. Fortunately, he had another option.
After some consideration, he left the meditation room, made a phone call, and then drove a very ordinary car out of the villa, heading straight out of the city to the southern industrial district. He stopped at the warehouse where Mr. Zuan resided.
Mr. Chang Dong had hired reliable staff to handle the daily cleaning and maintenance. Outside, various seasonal flowers and ornamental plants were planted, likely arranged by Gao Yanjun.
Chen Chuan got out of the car, pushed open the door, and entered. Inside, he saw Mr. Zuan reading a book. Upon noticing Chen Chuan, he immediately put down the book, picked up a mask, and put it on. His entire demeanor became vibrant. He gestured for Chen Chuan to sit and said with a smile, "Chen Chuan, please have a seat. I thought you'd be busy cultivating during this time, but now you're here to see us. Is there something you want to ask about your cultivation?"
Chen Chuan sat down without hesitation. "I came to see you today because I've been collecting Six Yang Gold recently."
"Are you preparing for the Longevity Perspective?" Mr. Zuan asked.
Chen Chuan nodded.
"It's time to start preparing," Mr. Zuan continued. "For our Pure Sect members, those who use Six Yang Gold typically require two or more pieces. Your foundation is more solid than others, so I believe you'll need at least four to five pieces, possibly even more."
He turned to Chen Chuan, "You can apply for it within the sect, and now is the right time. Hmm, speaking of this..." He took a file from a nearby document shelf and handed it to Chen Chuan. "Take a look at this first. Actually, if you hadn't come to me, I would have sought you out in a few days."
Chen Chuan took the file and opened it. It was sent from the Pure Sect headquarters, and inside was a letter expressing the high regard of the Pure Sect's upper echelon for Chen Chuan's actions in Jinbei Province. They were particularly satisfied with his eradication of the opposite side's existence, so they were granting him the title of Special Appraiser and sending him an internal publication.
After removing the letter, he found the publication underneath. On the first page, there was a dedication from a member of the Highest Security Advisory Team.
A quick glance revealed that it was a publication discussing various sects, international fighting techniques, and secret traditions. Even the strengths and weaknesses of some Pure Sect internal traditions were compared and analyzed.
After reading it, Chen Chuan could send his opinions and comments, which would be adopted and published if they were insightful and unique.
However, not all sect members were qualified to comment in this publication. The title was bestowed upon him primarily because he had rebuilt the Jinbei Province branch, assisted the Government Hall in overthrowing the Municipal Parliament that colluded with foreign powers, and eliminated an entity from the opposite side.
Additionally, there was a book listing notable fighters from various sects and nations, all of whom were relatively young, under forty years old. Those who achieved the status of a fighter before the age of forty were exceptionally talented.
Chen Chuan flipped through the book, noticing that most were foreigners, with only a few from Daxun.
"Chen Chuan, if you wish to be featured in this publication, it's possible," Mr. Zuan said. "You are young enough, and with your current achievements, many older and more seasoned fighters can't compare. This publication isn't exclusive to our sect; many sects and international organizations subscribe to it."
Chen Chuan was intrigued, as the listed fighters seemed extraordinary. Perhaps he might encounter them in the future, so he could bring it back for a closer look.
Mr. Zuan said, "Chen Chuan, your recent actions have pleased the upper echelon, and it's sufficient for you to apply for Six Yang Gold within the sect. These items are usually snatched up as soon as they become available, so it's best to acquire them when possible.
However, if you do this, you might need some time before you can apply for the Longevity Perspective's cultivation method. I wouldn't advise you to apply now."
His voice grew slightly somber. "You know, since the incident with Zhao Zhen Ye, the upper echelon has been paying close attention to those with rapid cultivation progress, especially those who haven't been in the sect for long. If you submit this application, they will send someone to review you. I'm not saying there's an issue with the procedure, but some sect members responsible for this matter tend to overcompensate. Sometimes, they intentionally set observation periods, which could be disadvantageous for you."
(End of Chapter 936)
Chen Chuan nodded, acknowledging the reason for his initial hesitation in approaching the Pure Sect for assistance. He had realized that the sect had provided him with a substantial amount of valuable resources, including the two Great Styles and the secret Heaven-Earth Furnace Breathing Technique.
Chen Chuan could sense that something was amiss with the recent gifts from Mr. Zuan.
Mr. Zuan continued, "If there are other ways to obtain the cultivation techniques, try to acquire them from those sources or wait a little longer..." He paused, "I believe there will be an opportunity within this year."
Chen Chuan glanced up at Mr. Zuan upon hearing this. Instead of asking further questions, he pondered for a moment and said, "Does Mr. Zuan know what Six Yang Gold is and where it comes from?"
Mr. Zuan's mask moved slightly, "Old Zuan rarely concerns himself with such matters. You've asked the wrong person, but I do know."
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "I'd like to seek your guidance on this matter."
The masked figure smiled and replied, "Oh, there's nothing to guide. Sooner or later, you'll find out too. I'm just showing off a bit. Six Yang Gold, well, it's a product of the collision between two worlds, but most of it is concentrated on the other side of the World Ring."
"This substance can appear anywhere in the other world, but it has one peculiar trait—it quickly disappears after appearing. Only those with strong spiritual power can detect it. If we need it, we usually rely on Fighters with Divine Manifestations who travel to the other side and bring it back. Their spiritual power is formidable, and they spend more time there, making this task relatively easier."
"However, Fighters with Divine Manifestations primarily focus on their own cultivation. On the other side, there might be others who collect these substances. Therefore, even if we can obtain them, we can't bring back too much at once for safety reasons. This is why, despite its scarcity, there seems to be a constant supply in the market. If we have the backing of governments, giant corporations, or major sects, we probably won't face a shortage."
Chen Chuan contemplated these words, which explained why Six Yang Gold was only worth two Platform Coins at Wan Song Company. Since it could be obtained with patience, the purchase limit might be due to concerns about government and corporate attitudes, preventing an oversupply in the market.
According to this theory, Six Yang Gold seemed to be abundant on the other side of the Rift. Chen Chuan's mind stirred slightly, and he thought there might be another way to...
Chen Chuan noticed another piece of information hidden in Mr. Mask's words. "Did you just mention people on the other side, sir?"
Mr. Mask replied, "Yes, those are the Fighters who went over earlier, some from the present and some from ancient times, and some have even mutated. Just as we need the Convergence Zone, they need certain things from the other side of the Rift, like Six Yang Gold, which seems to be useful for them."
Chen Chuan hummed in agreement. He understood this, remembering that Master Hongfa, the founder of Anyao Pavilion and Danliu Pavilion, had entered the other side, along with some predecessors from the two pavilions. They had likely gone there in pursuit of higher cultivation levels.
At this moment, Mr. Zuan said, "I'll help you submit the application for Six Yang Gold later. It should be sent down within this month. I'll give you a call when it's ready."
"Thank you, Mr. Zuan," Chen Chuan expressed his gratitude. He also thanked Mr. Mask, "And thank you, sir."
Mr. Mask smiled and said, "You're welcome, don't mention it."
Chen Chuan then engaged in further conversation with Mr. Zuan about cultivation and internal sect matters for over an hour before bidding his farewell.
After Chen Chuan left, Mr. Zuan remarked, "His progress is remarkably fast. I feel he might have already mastered one of the Great Style Techniques."
Mr. Mask responded, "His foundation is more solid than anyone else's, and his talent is exceptional. In our Pure Sect, such a case is rare. It's not surprising that his progress is so rapid, and he's probably already mastered one Great Style. How long has it been? No wonder he's seeking Six Yang Gold; he's confident in his cultivation progress."
He sighed, "The youngsters these days are all so impressive. Each sect has its outstanding members, but personally, I think Chen Chuan stands out even among them. Considering his age and achievements, I haven't seen anyone surpass him in the internal publications. However, his exceptional abilities might lead to unnecessary concerns and suspicions."
Mr. Zuan spoke with a solemn tone, "If a problem isn't addressed early on, it becomes a persistent issue. I must resolve this matter."
Mr. Mask sighed helplessly, "Old Zuan, why can't you understand? I mean that Chen Chuan's progress is remarkable, and you could wait a little longer. Wouldn't that be a safer approach?"
Mr. Zuan made a gesture as if to remove Mr. Mask's mask. Mr. Mask quickly said, "Alright, alright, I won't mention it again. I won't say another word."
Mr. Zuan stated, "We should handle our own problems and not involve the youngsters. They have their own challenges to face." He paused and looked into the distance, "Within this year, I'll find a way to resolve this issue."
