Chapter 761: Chapter 468: Wanxiang Pavilion’s ’Genius Contract’! [1 Release, Request for Monthly Pass!]

Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang.

The ’Genius Contract’ offered by the Wanxiang Pavilion is divided into four tiers. ’Yellow Level’ is the lowest, ’Heavenly Level’ is the highest, but even the lowest ’Yellow-Level Contract’ represents unimaginable cultivation resources for independent Divine Generals.

Yuan Xiang handed over the contract.

Yan Chuan casually flipped through it——

"100 points."

"10 Wealth Pills per year."

"Usage rights of a third-level Cultivation Cave Mansion."

"Choose one of the Fourteen True Skills·Innate Chapter."

"One Eighth-Rank Divine General Rescue Order."

"One Eighth-Rank Divine General Guidance Opportunity."

...

The more Yan Chuan read, the more startled he was.

Even a single lowest ’Yellow Level Contract’ includes ’Wealth·Pills’, ’Earth·Cave Mansion’, ’Law·True Skill’, ’Couple·Eighth Rank Divine General Support/Eighth Rank Divine General Guidance’——

"Cultivation is nothing more than ’Wealth, Couple, Law, Earth’." Yuan Xiang said: "The six above are the rigid standards of the ’Yellow-Level Contract’ prevailing across the Thirteen Regions, subsequently, each sub-pavilion will add clauses, all as gifts, with no demands in return."

Simply put——

The first six were formulated by the main pavilion of Wanxiang.

The rest were independently formulated by the corresponding sub-pavilion of Wanxiang.

Yuan Xiang handed this set to Yan Chuan, for now, it only contains the six clauses from the main pavilion: "The clauses of the Hunxi sub-pavilion are not yet finalized, once Brother Yan can reach the Fourth Rank before the age of thirty, whether in combat power or cultivation, a more detailed contract can finally be established."

This time, Yuan Xiang was just here to show his face and make friends with Yan Chuan.

However——

"With Wanxiang Pavilion offering such generous contracts, just in Huixi alone, aren’t many ’Yellow Level Contracts’ being distributed? They only give and don’t ask for returns, how can they maintain operations?" Yan Chuan had this doubt before, and it was hard to get a chance to meet the deputy chief of Wanxiang Pavilion’s sub-pavilion to finally resolve the query.

Yuan Xiang smiled: "The reasoning is actually very simple." He looked at Yan Chuan: "If Brother Yan were to sign a ’Yellow-Level Contract’ with Wanxiang Pavilion, would he, on his path to becoming a War God, return to lend a hand where possible? Even if a War God only lets slip a tiny bit, it would be enough to constitute the resources for dozens of ’Yellow-Level Contracts’."

The Wanxiang Pavilion truly is a ’public welfare’ organization.

No profit-oriented projects.

Relies entirely on member donations.

But what Yan Chuan heard made sense, there have always been ingrates and thankless wretches in this world, but more often than not, gratitude and repayment prevail.

If a genius grows with Wanxiang Pavilion’s support, whether it be amidst adversity or prosperity, then once these geniuses grow, they’re bound to offer some form of repayment.

Benefit without costing.

Yet it allows one’s mindset to be open and clear, why not do it?

As long as Wanxiang Pavilion continues to exist and extends across the Thirteen Regions, naturally, it has its unique merit, achieving balance in revenue and expenditure, and even steadily increasing.

For such an organization, there is no need to resist, first, use them to grow faster, and then respond to situations as they arise, adapt even if there are malicious intents behind it, and even if it permeates the Thirteen Regions, Yan Chuan still has Great Yan as his fallback, there’s no need to be guilty.

Of course, it is still too early to consider these now: "I haven’t met the requirements yet!"

...

"For you, meeting the requirements won’t be difficult." Yuan Xiang evidently knows quite a bit about Yan Chuan: "The Fu Family discovered the ’Fire Bud Crystal’ at Nanyue Lake, but based on Wanxiang Pavilion’s evaluation of Brother Yan’s strength, your cultivation might be at the Third Layer of Innate, but your physique strength has at least reached the Second Rank, which enables you to withstand a super burst, exploding from the First to the Third Rank."

Combining Yan Chuan’s ’physique’ with the information on the ’Fire Bud Crystal’, it’s easy to conclude: "Brother Yan possesses the ’Fire Bud Crystal’, strengthening his physique, and his growth is rapid. Second Rank physique isn’t the end, and Third Rank combat power isn’t the end either, reaching Fourth Rank cultivation might be challenging, but Fourth Rank combat power is not difficult for Brother Yan."

This is the fundamental reason why Yuan Xiang and several high-level figures in the Hunxi sub-pavilion of Wanxiang Pavilion favor Yan Chuan.

"Wanxiang Pavilion." Yan Chuan is increasingly intrigued by this organization.

Able to see through his identity.

Can guess that he holds a ’Fire Bud Crystal’.

The ’Fire Bud Crystal’ is extraordinarily valuable, with even one being worth at least 20 Wealth Pills. The amount Yan Chuan possesses is unknown, but even possessing a single piece is a lucrative fortune for a Sixth Rank God, something many would be tempted by.

But Wanxiang Pavilion wasn’t.

Yuan Xiang before him also wasn’t.

Up and down, how can they be so clean?

How exactly does Wanxiang Pavilion make people like Yuan Xiang and others refrain from greed and corruption?

Everyone has a dark side.

You know someone’s face, but not their heart.

Yan Chuan doesn’t believe Wanxiang Pavilion only consists of good people and noble souls, but they indeed resisted many temptations.

How is it done?

"By tempting them with benefits?"

"Or do they fear something?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Yan Chuan couldn’t guess, but he was certain; there must be an underlying logic supporting this either the benefits of obeying the rules in Wanxiang Pavilion outweigh everything, even hundreds or thousands of Wealth Pills. Or Wanxiang Pavilion has a penalty scheme, touching it could leave you with nowhere to run.

Or perhaps——

Both reward and punishment?

...

"Take care, Yuan Chief."

After sending off Yuan Xiang, the people from the North Mansion reemerged.

This time, no one thought the ’Wanxiang Pavilion’ was not strict enough, no one doubted the authority of the ’Divine General List’, and no one felt that obtaining Wanxiang Pavilion’s ’Genius Contract’ lacked assurance——

"10 Wealth Pills per year."

"Usage rights of a third-level Cultivation Cave Mansion."

"Choose one of the Fourteen True Skills·Innate Chapter."

"One Eighth-Rank Divine General Rescue Order."

"One Eighth-Rank Divine General Guidance Opportunity."

Ding Xiang’s eyes sparkled: "The treatment for the Heavenly Pride of the direct lineages from the Four Families and Three Sects is no more than this, right!"

A Yellow-Level Contract!

Directly bridging the gap of different backgrounds?

Ding Xiang was envious!

Not only Ding Xiang, but Lu Yuru, Situ Fei, and even Tan Yunqing were also amazed: "Quiet room, cave mansion, immortal mountains, blessed land, cave heavens, cultivation cave mansion, these places not only allow ’calming the mind’, ’gravity regulation’, ’gathering Primordial Qi’, a Third Level Cave Mansion also adds ’compressing Primordial Qi’, ’trace of realm’, assisting in improving cultivation, and making it easier to comprehend realms!"

Too many benefits!

A Third Level Cave Mansion is typically where Sixth Rank Divine Generals cultivate, as they comprehend martial arts in the mansion, the marks they leave, filled with realms, knife and sword marks, even footprints, make it easier for Innate Divine Generals below the Sixth Rank to comprehend realms within, increasing their chances of advancing to the Sixth Rank.

Why is it easier for major forces like the Four Families and Three Sects to cultivate Sixth Rank Divine Generals?

In Hunxi Territory, there are 83 Sixth Rank Divine Generals, and the Four Families and Three Sects alone hold 75, almost monopolizing 90%!

Why?

It’s not due to the guidance of the War God, nor the guidance of the Seventh and Eighth Ranks, but due to the long-standing lineage of the Four Families and Three Sects, where each cave mansion is full of heritage, and generations of the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Ranks have long cultivated in the mansions for decades, generations after generations, leaving countless marks filled with realms in the mansions, creating countless opportunities for enlightenment, naturally making it easier for the new generations within to comprehend realms and cultivate to the Sixth Rank, as opposed to the rootless Loose Cultivators.

This is the heritage of historical families and sects, along with their unique cultivation resources.

Outsiders, Loose Cultivators, would find it hard to buy even with money.

But in Wanxiang Pavilion, as long as one obtains the ’Yellow Level Contract’, they can enjoy it, bridging the gap with the children of historical families, having a hope of achieving the Sixth Rank sooner.

"Just the usage rights to one Third-Level Cave Mansion, no one below the Sixth Rank can refuse." Tan Yunqing sighed, he couldn’t refuse either. Sadly, he’s older, doesn’t meet the Genius Contract standards of Wanxiang Pavilion, no blessing to enjoy.

He can’t.

Yan Chuan can.

But compared to Tan Yunqing’s emphasis on the ’Third Level Cave Mansion’, Yan Chuan valued the last two items more——

"Eighth Rank Support."

"Eighth Rank Guidance."

...

After Yuan Xiang left, Yan Chuan discussed with the others, then everything returned to tranquility.

For Yan Chuan, Wanxiang Pavilion’s ’Yellow Level Contract’ is the icing on the cake. His progress is already rapid, and additional resources from Wanxiang only accelerate this progress slightly.

Having it is gratifying.

Not having it isn’t regrettable.

The contract has not yet been met, Yan Chuan continued his cultivation step by step, without letting Yuan Xiang’s visit disrupt his rhythm.

However, since his identity was exposed by Wanxiang Pavilion, there are no impenetrable walls in the world, and unwilling to stay in Golden Talisman City any longer after Yuan Xiang’s arrival, he escaped overnight, using ’Monkey King Avatar’ to return to Tan Valley King City amidst the wilds, with intentions not to return to Golden Talisman City for the short term.

As for the ’Divine General’s Courtyard’.

As for the ’Star Transformation Original Stone Shop’.

They can be put on hold for now.

It’s a pity for the ’Five Elements Release Origin Array’ in the ’Divine General’s Courtyard’.

It’s a pity for the profits from the ’Star Transformation Original Stone Shop’.

But just as Wang Zhengyi said——

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

Even without the ’Divine General’s Courtyard’, Yan Chuan still has ’Wealth Pills’ to cultivate faster, just at a higher cost.

Even without the ’Star Transformation Original Stone Shop’, Yan Chuan still has ’Heavenly Ladder City’ to tap into for financial resources, lacking no resources.

"Wait until my combat power reaches the Fourth Rank and I formally sign the ’Yellow-Level Contract’ with Wanxiang Pavilion, going back to Golden Talisman City will not be too late." With Yan Chuan’s strength changing daily, the previous details of his could have been seen through by Wanxiang Pavilion, but just give him another month, and Yan Chuan will undergo a drastic transformation once more.

Moreover, this incident was also a wake-up call for Yan Chuan: "’Shoujin Suogu Skill’ isn’t foolproof, at least with my current attainment, Wanxiang Pavilion can still easily see through it. If I want to hide my identity perfectly, either practice ’Shoujin Suogu Skill’ to the point of perfection or even return to nature, or seek another Exotic Treasure, upgrade and strengthen it to Sixth Rank, Seventh Rank, hardly anyone can uncover my secrets."

Secret techniques!

Secret treasure!

Challenges considerable to ordinary people, but for Yan Chuan——

"I have ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’, enhancing secret skills isn’t hard."

"I have ’Treasure Rock’, enhancing Exotic Treasure isn’t hard either."

Exotic Treasures need time, need to wait until Wang Zhengyi’s ’Monkey King Avatar’ leaves the Hunxi Territory, then Yan Chuan can venture out, searching carefully in the Danhu King City’s markets.

But secret skills are easier——

"Not only do I have ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’, but also ’Derivation Skill’."

Shoujin Suogu Skill?

No, no, no!

"This method only changes physique and appearance, it can’t escape Wanxiang Pavilion, but I can entirely create a brand new absolute skill based on this, not only can it change stature and appearance but also change True Qi attributes, and soul aura!"

"From head to toe!"

"From inside out!"

"I want to be completely different!"

Determined, the first thing Yan Chuan did upon returning to Tan Valley was to establish a new research and development task——

[Task Two]

[Research Project Name: 72 Transformations (Difficulty: Ji★)]

[Inspiration: 0]

[Completing the task can gain ’Experience +50W’, ’Spiritual +50W’.]

...

This ’72 Transformations’ certainly isn’t Sun Wukong’s ’72 Transformations’, it’s just Ji Yi True Skill, Yan Chuan merely hopes to change fatness or thinness, height or shortness, age or youth, alter True Qi, switch aura.

Just enough.

But this too is tough——

...
