There was also a chest on the second platform, although it was made of bronze instead.

Lu Ming opened the box. There were two manuals and a jade box inside.

One of the manuals was made of something suspiciously similar to gold instead of paper. It was probably over a hundred pages long, but it seemed like it was weightless when held in hand, as if he was holding a cloud.

There were four words written on top. ‘True War Dragon Technique’.

Lu Ming frantically flipped its pages to read it in detail.

“So it seems that this isn’t the just Second Stage of the True War Dragon Technique, it’s the entire technique!” Lu Ming’s eyes sparkled.

As he continued flipping through the pages, his smile grew wider and wider.

Based on what was recorded, the True War Dragon Technique on the first platform was not technically a “First Stage”, but rather the introduction of the technique. It was mainly utilized to build a foundation, and open up the three divine meridians more easily.

From here on out was the real start of the True War Dragon Technique.

The technique was layered into nine Stages.

The dragon-shaped Essential Qi condensed from the True War Dragon Technique was more viscous compared to the Essential Qi from normal cultivation.

From what the records said, as long as the First Stage of the technique was achieved, the Essential Qi that was condensed would be twice as viscous as normal Qi.

Achieving the Second Stage would produce three times the viscosity. Based on that logic, if the Ninth Stage was achieved, the viscosity of the condensed Qi would be ten times that of normal Qi.

Lu Ming was ecstatic. Ten times? What was this concept? It was comparing steel with deadwood. A single strike of steel would shatter the deadwood into million pieces.

It was horrifying. Truly, a Divine Level technique.

But the difficulties of cultivating it successfully could not be slighted as well.

Putting the Ninth Stage aside, the conditions of achieving the First Stage was to open up the three divine meridians, or successfully cultivating it would be impossible.

It was no wonder that the introduction to the True War Dragon Technique on the first platform stated that the three divine meridians had to be open for the user to cultivate the technique that followed.

That was merely the First Stage. A plethora of materials were required to assist in the cultivation of the Second Stage. They were all extremely rare materials, some which Lu Ming had never even heard of.

“I’ll deal with that when I get to it. To be able to cultivate the First Stage and achieve Essential Qi with twice the viscosity of normal Qi would be a terrifying feat in itself.

Excitement sparked in Lu Ming’s eyes. He carefully read the True War Dragon Technique once and picked up the other book.

The Lustrous Sword Technique was a Superior Yellow Level sword technique. If successfully cultivated, a sword would seem like a never ending stream of light that was as swift as lightning.

This was actually a Superior Yellow Level martial technique! Even the most precious martial technique of the Lu Family only was of Superior Yellow Level.

There was also a jade box, with the words ‘Spirit Soul Pill’ written on it.

The Spirit Soul Pill was a Third Level medicine pill that was worth at least tens of thousands of silver taels. There was a demand for it, but no supply, as it could rapidly advance one’s cultivation, making it extremely useful for people in the Master Realm, let alone the Warrior Realm.

“First, it was the Marrow-cleansing Pill, and now it’s the Spirit Soul Pill. They’re all useful for me.”

Lu Ming suppressed the joy in his head as his expression changed into one of contemplation.

He had a feeling that this was arranged by someone. How else could he explain how everything was useful to him?

How peculiar.

When he could not come to a conclusion, he shook his head. There was no point in thinking over it if he could not figure it out. Instead, he cast his gaze towards the third platform.

If the first and second platforms carried such treasures, what would he discover on the third platform?

There were still ninety-nine steps to the third platform. As expected, there was a force blocking Lu Ming’s way when he reached the ninety-ninth step.

Unlike what he thought, there were no chests on the third platform. It was empty, except for a stone stand in the middle of the platform. He could not make out its use.

“I’m looking forward to it!”

Lu Ming’s had a burning curiosity for the third platform, and the others that followed. However, there was nothing he could do as he was unable to ascend. Lu Ming shook his head and returned to the second platform, where he started circulating the True War Dragon Technique.
