Chapter 713: Destiny Seal
“Taboo techniques? What is that? And how can I tell if a technique is taboo or not?” Yuan asked.
“Can I see the techniques?” Feng Yuxiang then asked.
“Here you go.” Yuan handed all of the Blood Sect’s techniques to her.
Feng Yuxiang looked at each of them and separated them into two different piles.
“The techniques on the right are normal techniques while the ones on the left are taboo techniques. You can tell the difference based on their aura. Taboo techniques all have a sinister aura.” Feng Yuxiang said.
“All techniques considered taboo by the heavens will automatically have this sinister aura, so even if you copy it on a new piece of paper, it would still have a sinister aura. As for how the heavens decide which technique is taboo… I have no idea.”
“I see… So we cannot sell the taboo techniques, right?”
“Well, that is not entirely correct. There is nothing stopping you from selling taboo techniques, but most places will refuse to buy them, so you can only sell them in the black market, but that is not recommended, and you could offend the heavens by selling them.”
“If we can’t sell them, what can we do with them?”
Feng Yuxiang pondered for a moment and said, “The most logical thing is to destroy them so that they don’t spread around, as it could cause chaos if someone evil acquires them. All taboo techniques have a high chance of making those that cultivate them crazy, after all.”
“Okay, I will destroy them.”
And without hesitation, Yuan ripped the techniques into many pieces.
Ding!
“You can sell those techniques, Feng Feng. I would keep them since they’re useful, especially the Bloody Sword Strike, but I don’t want my friends to use a technique that has taken away so many innocent lives.”
“Don’t worry, Young Master. Most of these techniques are pretty trash. Even an Earth-rank technique is nothing for you, who can acquire Heaven-rank techniques as easy as candy.”
After handing Feng Yuxiang everything from the Blood Sect, Yuan continued to examine Lord Blood’s spatial ring.
“1,000 spirit stones and some pills… How can the sect master of the Blood Sect be so poor?” Yuan shook his head after looking inside.
“He probably hid his treasures away, unlike the Gu Family that likes to walk around with their wealth.” Feng Yuxiang shrugged.
“Whatever. Let’s open up the last spatial ring and see what’s inside.”
Yuan proceeded to take a moment to clear his mind.
Once he was prepared, he started making the array.
A few minutes later, Yuan unsealed Patriarch Gu’s spatial ring and took a look inside.
“Whoa!”
Yuan’s eyes immediately began glistening.
“What is inside, Young Master?” Feng Yuxiang was also interested in Patriarch Gu’s spatial ring.
“Here, let me dump it out.”
He proceeded to dump out everything inside the spatial ring onto the table before them.
Very quickly, a mountain of treasures with a profound aura was created.
“Hmm… Not bad.” Feng Yuxiang nodded with approval after seeing the treasures.
“How much would I get from selling these?” Yuan quickly asked.
“It’s hard to tell, but you should get a few billion gold coins at the very least.”
“A few billion?!” Yuan’s eyes widened with shock.
With this much gold, he should be set for a very long time!
“Let’s sell them all!” Yuan then said.
“Wait a moment, Young Master. Let me see the treasures closely…”
Feng Yuxiang picked up a random treasure and inspected it.
A few moments later, she placed it down and said, “Young Master, that treasure contains the Gu Family’s destiny seal. We won’t be able to sell it until we remove it.”
“Huh? Destiny seal? What is that? Is it any different from the seals on spatial rings?”
Feng Yuxiang shook her head, “They are completely different. Although they function somewhat similarly, destiny seals are much more powerful, and they have a lot more restrictions.”
“Destiny seals can only be created by powerful families in the Nine Heavens, and if they put one inside a treasure, that would restrict anyone that is not part of their family bloodline from using it. They are not only impossible to sell even in black markets, but the buyer will most likely report you to the Gu Family for a reward.”
After hearing Feng Yuxiang’s explanation, Yuan pondered for a moment before asking, “Since it’s a seal, I should be able to remove it using arrays, right?”
“Yes, you can, but arrays that can remove destiny seals are incredibly rare and expensive. Even if you sell all of the treasures here, you probably won’t be able to purchase one. However, that’s not even the most difficult part, as it’s even more difficult to find a seller.”
“Now let’s say you somehow managed to buy one… You will probably need to become a level 4 or 5 Array Master before you can use the array.”
“Then what should I do with these treasures?” Yuan pointed at the mountain of treasures on the table.
“We can only wait until you are able to break the destiny seal, or we can find someone who knows how to remove them…” Feng Yuxiang said.
“Do you know anyone like that?”
Feng Yuxiang began pondering.
“When I escaped from the upper heavens, I had spent a few years in each realm to prepare myself. During my time here, I learned of a guy named Jia Chong, who was rumored to know how to remove destiny seals.”
“Do you know where we can find him?”
“I don’t, but I know someone who does.” Feng Yuxiang smiled.
And she continued, “A famous information broker who knows pretty much everything within the Spirit Heaven. However, he’ll charge you a lot of money, so you need to prepare for it.”
Yuan nodded, “Okay. Can you help me sell the treasures that we can sell?”
“It would be my pleasure.” Feng Yuxiang nodded with an eager smile.
