Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Wow! A Golden Legend!

"As for the remaining amount... let’s use it on a new skill."

Liang Yi scratched his head, as 200,000 wasn’t much for him at the moment. He could use it to upgrade his Immaculate Sword Technique, but then he would be left empty-handed when it came to learning new skills he had just acquired. After silently contemplating, Liang Yi decided it was more cost-effective to start with the new skill, as swordsmanship was not a high priority for him at present.

However, there was no rush to upgrade the new skill; first, he would search for some escape techniques from the talisman.

Before a fight, considering a strategic retreat route was a good virtue Liang Yi practiced throughout his gaming experience.

Engage if overpowering; flee if overwhelmed.

With the green mountains preserved, one need not fear running out of firewood.

But now, his identity had changed.

Previously as a player and a Loose Cultivator, fleeing did not bring shame. But now, having become a descendent of Banished Immortal and the Chief Disciple of Taoist Sect.

Fleeing seemed somewhat disgraceful!

"So it’s best to have a proper reason when it’s time to flee."

Liang Yi, yet to acquire the Escape Skill, had already started preparing for future escapes.

He opened the skill panel in the second system and expanded the skill list from "talisman". The dense list of skills practically blinded him.

These were only the names; similar to programming codes, not to mention actually reading the skill descriptions.

Just when he was furrowing his brows, planning to spend a great deal of time going through them, a whimsical idea whispered in his mind:

"Escape Skill!"

The Daoist skill list on the panel trembled for a moment, promptly morphing into a complete list of escape techniques. Liang Yi looked through the vast array of escape skills.

"It even has a search function?"

Liang Yi was astonished, finding the system quite intelligent. If he were to go through each one, it might take him half a year.

Smiling at the wide array of choices, he chuckled joyfully.

Escape Skills were rather rare, considering they were lifesaving skills and generally scarcer in origin.

Unlike xx cultivation techniques, xx swordsmanship that were common and easy to fake, which could be practiced by any genius or main character with a Heavenly Destiny, potentially leading to breakthroughs.

Escape Skills, different from others, involved high-speed movement with the aid of certain objects. A fake was just a fake; you could tell at a glance, and there was nowhere to fabricate, especially given the low drop rates in past life’s secret realms.

Thus, even the lowest-level blue cultivation method was comparable to an ordinary deep-purple skill.

The saying "this skill can save your neck at critical moments" wasn’t just a joke.

Forced into a corner, there have been numerous instances where peculiar escape techniques have saved lives. Even during Liang Yi’s days as an assassin, there were a few instances where his targets escaped using Escape Skills.

Though he still ended up eliminating them later, managing to escape from Liang Yi was an ability in its own right.

Moreover, according to unreliable rumors, a certain master of water escape even developed bizarre methods like saliva escape and urine escape. These techniques were foolproof when being chased by formidable enemies, enabling escape and grossing people out simultaneously, truly a talent.

Many top assassins preferred not to mess with him, fearing they would be disgusted.

"I’m thinking, first of all, it needs to be stylish."

Liang Yi pondered deeply; the Escape Skill definitely had to be stylish. It wasn’t just for escaping; it could also be used as a travel method when outputting low power.

Even when running, while the escape itself is essential, one must not lose grace.

Like the Wind God Commerce, originally from the Wind God Sect, their Secret Golden Escape Technique could transform into a gentle breeze with just a flow of air, infiltrating anywhere and vanishing in an instant.

Wind God Commerce Young Master Yu Wei, casually wandering around outside. Besides the merit of the Mirage Talismans, isn’t the efficient Wind God Escape Technique the reason? Do people really think that within the Wind God Commerce, there are no insiders aware of Yu Wei’s whereabouts?

Those who’ve long been jealous of the Wind God Commerce’s status, have been trying everything to take down Yu Wei’s father. And Yu Wei, being his own son, running around all over the map – isn’t that just the perfect vulnerability?

Despite surviving the first assassination attempt and still jumping around lively, the Wind God Escape Technique contributed 90% to his survival. Countless players who wanted this escape technique, both for its appearance and efficiency, couldn’t obtain it. They sneakily tried to kill to loot the skill but couldn’t even touch his sleeve, only to watch him escape from an encircling array using the technique.

Unfortunately, Yu Wei’s attack power is nearly zero, he’s only good at running away. And he’s an average-looking chubby guy, who likes to blow breath in the face of his enemies while escaping using the escape technique, thus earning the player’s eight-character critique:

"Skills not great, but the audacity isn’t small."

It’s quite something that a golden escape technique is used in such a way.

Liang Yi is still very envious of that escape technique. However, after just checking, while there are Wind Escape techniques, that particular escape technique is not recorded.

"Sort skill quality from high to low." Liang Yi added a new search criterion.

"There are actually three golden escape techniques!?"

When he saw the results, Liang Yi’s mouth couldn’t stop grinning. What status did the Taoist Sect have in the ancient times to be so extravagantly wealthy?

He looked at them one by one, starting with the names.

"Water Cloud Sky"

"No Such Sound in the Hometown"

"Slanting Sun with New Moon"

"Why did it suddenly become so artistic?" Liang Yi, puzzled like a confused monk, found the sudden change in style a bit unfamiliar.

However, the attributes of the escape techniques are still clear and straightforward.

"Water Cloud Sky" uses water vapor as a medium, as long as the mana value is sufficient, you become the speed champion in the sky and water.

"No Such Sound in the Hometown" uses sound as a medium, with any sound you can transform into tunneling light. This is most comfortable on land, because with high enough perception, any sound from under the soil can be utilized.

"Slanting Sun with New Moon" is formidable, leaving Liang Yi somewhat dumbstruck.

Its medium is sunlight and moonlight!

"Isn’t there just these two lights in a day?" Liang Yi complained silently.

In the category of escape techniques, the most popular ones are those of the five elements; they are the most common and the easiest to find. But also most likely to be restricted – just one Five Elements Great Formation and they’re all cooled down.

So when the big shots create escape techniques, they tend to choose odd but useful things.

With golden-level escape techniques, Liang Yi didn’t even bother to look at the others.

"So cool, hehehe!"

Liang Yi grinned, releasing a silly laughter with ambiguous significance.

In his past life, he had to face death threats just to obtain an orange skill, venturing into dungeons, entering secret realms. Unlike now, books of golden skills piled up as if they cost nothing, free for him to choose.

But, this is also special to the Taoist Sect.

In any normal sect, without achieving incredible feats or having a special status, such sect’s heritage techniques would be unattainable for you.

Take Complete Heaven Sect for example, with nine True Inheritors, only the Chief and Zhiqing could learn all the sect’s Daoist Skills, others learned only the Cultivation Technique and part of the Daoist Skills.

And in their Taoist Sect, there are only the two of them as disciples.

As Chen Hua says: "Aren’t Cultivation Techniques made for people to learn? Why make it so complicated?"
