269 The Harshness of a Divine-Grade Cultivation Technique
Bai Ting looked at Ye Xuan leaving and revealed an unfathomable smile. “What do you know? There’s a huge price to pay to open this cultivation technique. I’m afraid this person wouldn’t be alive doing so.”

Taking off his kind disguise, beneath it was a cruel and cold expression. The decisive Bai Ting was his true self.

“If he wants to learn a divine-grade cultivation technique, he should look at his status. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry who tries to get their hands on it will only end up in eternal damnation.”

His voice was extremely cold, as if it was from the netherworld.

The others were relieved upon hearing that. Since Bai Ting had said so, Ye Xuan wouldn’t be able to cultivate it no matter what.

However, there were still people who couldn’t help but be curious, “Just what kind of cultivation technique is this, sect master?”

Hearing this question, Bai Ting was stunned on the spot. A rare shock emotion appeared in his eyes and some unspeakable grievance and depression.

“First of all, opening it requires a huge price.”

Bai Ting thought of how ecstatic he had been when he had first obtained this cultivation technique, to the point that he had thrown away his past caution.

He thought he could reach the peak with this cultivation technique, but he had almost fallen into hell.

After opening it with his blood essence, who would have thought that this cultivation technique would absorb the spiritual energy in his body like crazy? He was almost half-dead from this cultivation technique.

Even now, he still had lingering fears when he thought about it. If it wasn’t for the powerful grand elder holding down the fort at that time and cutting off the connection between the two, Bai Ting might have died.

If that were the case, it would have been fine. However, the key was that he had spent half his life opening the cultivation technique. The cultivation conditions were so harsh that it was outrageous. He could not cultivate it at all. At that time, Bai Ting was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

If it weren’t for his concern about preserving this rare divine-grade cultivation technique, he would have destroyed it then. It was a challenging process and brought nothing to him.

“What are the conditions?”

The few of them wanted to know even more after hearing it. It made Bai Ting feel like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat. He was still brooding over it.

Logically speaking, regardless of talent or strength, Bai Ting was one of the best in the world. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to become the sect leader of the Dao Seeking Sect. He had become famous at a young age and had brilliant battle records along the way. Even if there were any difficulties, he could deal with them.

So what if it was a divine-grade cultivation technique? It was not impossible to cultivate it. However, he did not try it at all and just gave up. It was not his style.

“The person who cultivates this technique must have no spirit roots or attributes,” Bai Ting said expressionlessly.

That was not a secret, but everyone already knew about the divine-grade cultivation method, so there was no harm in telling them. However, thinking about it now, Bai Ting was quite speechless.

The other people’s expressions were the same.

It should be known that all cultivators had spirit roots. Without spirit roots, they would not be able to attract spiritual energy into their bodies. The lesser the spirit root, the better the talent.

Basically, the disciples who were cultivated by the big sects all had a single spirit root. There were even some who had mutated spirit roots and Celestial spirit roots. However, those were very rare, and those who did appear were geniuses.

Most people had double or triple spirit roots. Although people with five spirit roots could cultivate, their speed was extremely slow. In their lifetime, breaking through to the earth rank was the highest.

Moreover, the more spirit roots one had, the less effective the elixir would be. It would be impossible to absorb it completely. Even if one wanted to improve through pills, it would not be easy.

On the other hand, for those with a single spirit root, their cultivation speed would be fast, and taking a pill would yield twice the result with half the effort. It could be said that the heavens blessed them.

However, this divine-grade cultivation technique required people without spirit roots to cultivate it. It was completely contradictory and impossible.

“What kind of cultivation technique is this, and who created it…”

After listening to Bai Ting’s description, the others finally understood why he was so generous and gave it to Ye Xuan. Although this cultivation method was divine-grade, it was equivalent to waste.

Only mortals could cultivate without spirit roots. However, to activate the cultivation technique, they must have a large amount of spiritual energy, which cultivators could only do with spirit roots.

These two conditions were opposite, and no one in the world could fulfill them.

“That’s why even if Ye Xuan had thousands of means and worked hard to reach the conditions to open it, he couldn’t cultivate it at all. It’s simply a waste of effort.”

Bai Ting looked as if he was waiting for a good show. Although Ye Xuan was capable, he probably couldn’t do anything about this situation.

The others couldn’t help but nod. “Sect master, your move is brilliant. If Ye Xuan successfully opens it, he will consume a lot of spirit energy, reducing his strength. In the end, all his efforts will be in vain.”

Even if Ye Xuan couldn’t activate it, they wouldn’t lose anything.

“Remember to leak this news to the Misty Illusory Manor.”

It had to be said that Bai Ting’s method was despicable, and it could be said that he had set a silent trap on Ye Xuan. One had to know that the Misty Illusory Manor and Ye Xuan had enmity. Although they had not shed all pretenses of cordiality yet, it was only a matter of time.

If they knew that Ye Xuan’s strength was damaged, it would be impossible for them not to take action. The Dao Seeking Sect only needed to watch from the side and add fuel to the fire at the appropriate time.

Bai Ting’s voice was cold to the extreme, “No one could easily take the benefits and leave after offending our Dao Seeking Sect.”

Bai Ting had already held a grudge against Ye Xuan because of the secret realm, but he had been holding it in. Now that such a good opportunity was placed here, and Ye Xuan had taken the initiative to walk into the trap, how could he let it go?

However, the people of the Dao Seeking Sect had never expected that there would be a freak like Ye Xuan.
