Chapter 8: Heaven-reaching Divine Fire Pillar, Knowledge Inheritance
Amid the rustling of the bamboo forest in the breeze, Jiang Yi sensed his sister's arrival. When he pushed the door open and walked out, Jiang Miaomiao had already crossed the gurgling stream.

"Brother, didn't you want to learn how to refine weapons? Why are you back here again?" Jiang Miaomiao felt powerless to complain in her heart. Over the years, she had come to the bamboo courtyard almost as many times as she had gone home.

“No rush, take your time.” Having been to Bailian Palace many times before, and with Meng Pingkang’s guidance, he already had a certain understanding of the weapon refining level of the Mengshen Sect and even the Chongming Realm. As for the rest... let’s talk about it after he has produced a copycat version of the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar.

"Hey, you really are becoming more and more like Master Yuansong. You're never in a hurry for anything."

Ding Yuansong, one of the elders of the Mengshen Sect, is Jiang Mingde's master. Jiang Mingde was able to be promoted to the North Tower Master at such a young age. In addition to his own strength and achievements, his support was also indispensable.

"This is what you want. I had made an appointment with Jingjing and the others to go to the deer park today, but now we're going to be late." Before Jiang Miaomiao could finish her words, she ran away in a hurry and threw him a pink lotus sachet.

This is a storage bag, a product that combines the technologies of the Hell Soul Realm and the Sword Realm. However, I haven't mastered it yet, so its storage space cannot compare to the other two realms, but it is sufficient.

"This girl."

He took out a few crystals from the sachet that were as red as jade and emitting a hazy spiritual light. Yes, they were the crystals between the eyebrows of the Fire Scale Beast from the Hell Soul Realm, which contained tremendous fire power.

I don’t know how much I can deduct according to his idea. If I can’t produce some decent results this time, it may not be so easy to ask Lao Jiang for support next time.

Action speaks louder than words, let’s get started!
Discount of 3.05 million.

The exchange requires 2.66 million.

Finally...finally I can redeem it!
At this moment, Jiang Yi almost burst into tears. This was such a rip-off. If he hadn't discovered the discount method, he would have been living with question marks on his face even if he lived for another ten years.

Without further ado, let’s exchange!
With the blessing of mysterious power, raging flames burst out silently from the fire paulownia wood. The eight fire paulownia wood wrapped in flames stood up instantly. The dragon patterns on the pillars seemed to come alive and became more majestic. Fire dragons emerged from the fire paulownia wood, swam around and then disappeared into the fire paulownia wood.

The power of the Heavenly Fire Pillar gradually began to reveal itself, and the scorching flames seemed to burn the space down, but its power was blocked by the system between the eight fire paulownia trees, without any leakage. Therefore, even though there were many masters in Beishan, no one could sense it.

At the same time, a large amount of miscellaneous knowledge emerged in Jiang Yi's mind, including Taoist weapon refining methods, fire-based Taoist methods, and some miscellaneous knowledge.

Jiang Yi never expected to have such a gain!
His path of cultivation has always been very passive. He cultivated the Taoism that he did not understand at all in the sound of chanting. He had no Taoist methods and no relevant theoretical knowledge. The path he set for himself before was to buy a set of divine equipment. If he did not have Taoist methods and magical powers, he would use spiritual treasures instead. He never thought that exchanging for a copycat version of spiritual treasures would actually gain some knowledge from it. He had only tried to exchange for a beggar version once before, and he was reluctant to waste a single cultivation value. If he had known this trick, he would have been patient and waited until his cultivation value was enough to directly upgrade to the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover. According to this rule, exchanging for a copycat version of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover has a high probability of allowing him to obtain the method of cultivating the Samadhi True Fire. The difference between ordinary fire Taoist techniques and the Samadhi True Fire is not a little bit.

The copycat version can provide some relevant knowledge, but what about the high-quality imitation version?
At this moment, Jiang Yi felt that his path to cultivation had finally dawned. The firewood surrounded by the fire dragon was reshaping itself, and its appearance became more and more similar to the atlas.

Finally, the eight pillars of divine fire turned golden red. The dragon reliefs on the pillars looked like living creatures. The flames were restrained, but the scorching heat could still be felt.

Jiang Yi made a hand gesture, and the eight more than three feet long Tongtian Divine Fire Pillars quickly shrank until they became the length of an index finger, and he put them into the storage bag. The ground of the yard was covered with a layer of iron-black impurities as fine as river sand. These were the parts of the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillars that were not needed and were removed. These impurities still had some surplus value, so Jiang Yi also put them away and went to the Bailian Hall to exchange them for some usable goods when he had time.

He had just learned that these spiritual treasures had special methods of sacrifice and control. In the knowledge he had received, the sacrifice method was mainly the method of spiritual consciousness sacrifice, and the method of sentient beings sacrifice was only mentioned briefly. Only after sacrifice and refinement can the spiritual treasure exert its maximum power, which is equivalent to marking it with its own mark, perfectly matching itself, and being able to be stored in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The magic formula of controlling treasure is a technique that can achieve the greatest effect with the lowest consumption. Some of the special moves of spiritual treasures also require special magic formulas. In fact, the copycat version of Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar cannot be called "spiritual". The real spiritual treasure can show some power even without an owner, but the copycat version of Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar cannot reach this level and must be combined with magic formulas.

The difference between the beggar's version and the copycat version is really huge!

It's just too expensive. He had saved up for sixteen years, and except for exchanging a beggar's edition five-color stone for experiments, he spent all his savings on this. The "model" he built this time was quite successful, and the price was discounted by more than half.

Overall, this attempt was quite successful. Although if he had had a system explanation earlier, he would definitely not have exchanged for the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar. This thing was just a purely offensive spiritual treasure. At most, the combination of eight of them had a certain trapping effect, but he was not going down the Shuangta Mountain and had no use for them. He made this choice just to borrow its fire ability.

If he had known this would happen, he would have waited a few more years to replace the Bagua furnace so that he could have everything.

But it's not too late now. With this experience, he needs to re-plan for the future. There are many spiritual treasures that can be exchanged in the catalog, but he doesn't have the habit of collecting, so it's impossible for him to exchange them all. Or maybe he has high standards. If he wasn't forced by poverty, he wouldn't even look at the Yin-Yang Sword, the Two Dragon Sword, the Mourning Stick, the Soul-Catching Chain...

His current goal is to complete the knowledge system related to cultivation, including formations, instruments, pills, talismans, and techniques, so that he can be considered a true cultivator. I won't say much about the Bagua furnace mentioned earlier. Then there is the Xiantian Five Elements Spirit Beads, which are not only a set of comprehensive attack and defense spiritual treasures, but also can complete his knowledge of the Five Elements Taoism. The Yin-Yang Mirror is also good, and the Yin-Yang Taoism is still quite sharp. Finally, there is the River Map and Luoshu.

After calculating this, Jiang Yi sighed secretly. Compared with the simple and direct martial arts, practicing Taoism is too time-consuming. Compared with the spiritual treasures he planned to exchange later, the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar is not at the same level at all. Even if the materials can be discounted by half, it will not be done in ten or twenty years.
