Chapter 1841: Chapter 1839: Another Great Harvest

Looking around, everything was still eerily quiet. After not hearing anything unusual, Peter Brown also breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, it was an uncle-nephew duo that had arrived. Unfortunately, they had never imagined that the seemingly harmless power here would cost them their lives.

From the young people’s words, he knew that the two had come secretly and no one else knew about their arrival.

Peter understood their thinking. Such disruptive actions should be done in private. Public knowledge was not suitable. They were right in not telling others since they were confident, which also gave Peter a sense of security; generally, no one would know about him killing them.

Unexpected indeed!

From the young men, Peter also learned about the covert competition among the official disciples. The competition was not only about Divine Artifacts but also about a Third-layer Body Refining Technique.

Brian Hughes was right. The most important thing in the Sect was indeed the Body Refining Technique. The first layer could allow a person to reach ten stars, the second layer twenty stars, and the third layer thirty stars. The purpose of the uncle and nephew was to acquire the third layer of the Body Refining Technique.

This time, the Sect used the cultivation of Divine Valley as a reward. The formal disciples who were responsible for cultivating the Divine Valley had a chance. Those who ranked first and reached twenty stars would naturally receive the Body Refining Technique and a Divine Artifact as rewards.

Everyone knew that since retreating here, resources had been severely lacking, so such rewards became very important. The main purpose of causing disruptions and undermining each other was to obtain these rewards.

At first, Peter was puzzled. From his observations, the elder seemed to have a cultivation beyond just twenty stars. He might possess a way to refine a body above twenty stars and could even covertly pass it to his nephew.

However, after understanding the inside story, Peter came to terms with it. The elders had never received the Third-layer Body Refining Technique in the Sect; instead, they chanced upon another Sect’s technique, which allowed him to cultivate up to twenty-six stars.

Although it was possible for him to cultivate up to thirty stars, there was a problem. Without acquiring the Sect’s Third-layer Body Refining Technique, his foundation would be flawed. He wouldn’t be able to enhance his cultivation using the Sect’s techniques further, and thus he could progress no further.

Another issue was that the Sect didn’t allow the private teaching of the Body Refining Techniques. Beyond the third layer, there were serious oaths involved. Anyone who violated this would have their cultivation dismantled and be expelled from the Sect. With these conditions, even if one had the techniques, they wouldn’t be able to privately teach their relatives but rather let them compete for it.

Not only were they here for the competition, but other members were also taking action. Brian Hughes was secretly doing the same.

No wonder Brian Hughes was nowhere to be seen. The young man had also secretly gone to cause disruptions.

After the Sect’s retreat here, the higher-ups realized that one big problem was the loss of a competitive spirit. Therefore, they no longer intervened in these covert operations. Everyone spoke of opportunities.

After understanding this situation, Peter began to worry. With the official disciples competing, the chore disciples would have a hard time. From the young men, Peter also knew that not a few chore disciples had been killed. In their eyes, the death of a chore disciple was inconsequential; nobody really cared.

The problem was indeed serious!

After pondering for a while, suddenly, Peter quickly took out the elder’s ring.

Using his own energy, he broke the seal on the ring and saw the items inside.

Without caring what other items were there, Peter immediately looked for the place where the Cultivation Techniques were kept.

Upon finding them, Peter was thrilled. Indeed, the man had stored some Cultivation Techniques in the ring.

First, he picked up a Cultivation Technique, a Boxing Technique of the Star Sect, which was quite good but of no use to Peter at the moment. Then, picking up an ancient-looking Jade Slip, he looked inside and his face lit up with joy.

Body Refining Technique!

Indeed, it was a Body Refining Technique capable of cultivating up to thirty stars.

Although this set of techniques was not extremely important for Sect Disciples, for Peter, it was incredibly vital. With this technique, Peter could greatly enhance his deductions and might even be able to extrapolate his first layer of Body Refining Technique.

The man’s ring also contained some Jade Slips introducing knowledge about the Divine Realm, which were equally crucial for Peter.

After some thought, Peter carefully searched both men’s rings, and his face showed even more delight. Body Refining required the process of refining artifacts and originally had eight of the ten necessary materials. Now, with the materials found in the two rings, Peter now had all the required materials for Body Refining.

After collecting these materials and gathering what he needed, Peter packed the useless items into a ring and then headed towards a distant mountain.

He buried both men’s rings in the mountain and then created an Illusion Formation for protection.

After completing these tasks, Peter returned to his dwelling.

Now, Peter was even less afraid of anyone discovering his act of murder.

Actually, Peter knew in his heart that he might have overthought things. Who would believe he could instantly kill two individuals above twenty stars?

The Sect’s Body Refining Techniques were taught by specialized individuals, who would retrieve the Jade Slips immediately after use, ensuring the techniques would not be leaked. Even if people wanted to replicate them, oaths would prevent them from copying or teaching, ensuring absolute privacy.

The Body Refining Technique found in the man’s ring, however, was the type that could be publicly disclosed and sold in the market. This kind of Body Refining Technique could be found with a bit of effort. In the words of cultivators, it was considered a wild-sect technique that could only refine up to a certain level and was insufficient for higher-level training. Thus, even after acquiring it, one would still seek better techniques from the Sect.

Of course, one advantage of such wild-sect techniques was that after cultivation, the effort wasn’t entirely wasted. As long as the corresponding Sect’s Body Refining Technique was obtained, it could be easily transformed and developed into the corresponding Star Rank in the Sect.
