Chapter Thirty-Six: Lavish Spending
the Yong Nation slowly rot and stink in his hands. Han Yin's reign lasted for hundreds of years, yet Yong Nation expanded not an inch of land. Its influence in the entire west steadily dwindled, provi...The day after agreeing to be the gatekeeper for Chong Xuan Sheng.
Jiang Wang had already finished his morning exercises and was now meticulously refining the Heavenly Gate using Dao Yuan. He was making it appear more clearly, preparing for his next promotion.
Cultivation is a gradual process that requires persistent effort. One must not slack off.
Now his Nine-Headed Star River Wheel spins incessantly, the Serpent Star Spirits leaping and twirling with astonishing agility. There is no need to worry about depleting his Dao Yuan reserves.

At this time, there was a knock at the door.
Come in.
Before Jiang Wang's words were finished, and before he could even get up from his sitting position on the bed, Chong Xuan Sheng's rotund form had already rolled over to him.
He broke into a wide grin, and with a magician's flourish, produced three jade talismans from his hand. "The wood-based offensive Taoist techniques you requested. They are all Grade B top-quality items, reaching the limits of the Transcending Heaven realm. The best of the best!"
Since he had decided to become a disciple of the powerful Zhenxuansheng, Jiang Wang naturally wouldn't be polite. Last night, he proposed wanting a first-grade upper wood attribute Dao Technique for using in the Tongtian Palace's imprint.
That's the downside of being alone.
If he were a disciple of another renowned sect, his Dao Arts would have been chosen long before he advanced to the Transcendence Realm. But he was different; even after so long in the Transcendence Realm, the second slot for an instant-cast Dao Art remained vacant. He hadn't managed to upgrade his combat power in time and could only rely on a single blooming fire blossom.
After becoming a guest of the Chongxuan Shengmen, only half a night had passed. Chongxuan Sheng immediately obtained the Taoist arts that met the requirements, and all at once it was three doors.
This fat man had expectation in his eyes, begging for praise, but he said nonchalantly: "My understanding of the Wood Path arts from the Xuan family isn't very deep. Among the Grade Two top-tier ones, there are only two that I think are decent, and the other one was requested by a friend. You pick first. If you don't like any, I'll find another."
While Jiang Wang took the jade slip and examined it, he casually said, "Your friend is quite capable."
Zhong Xuan Sheng didn't care if he could sit down or not, he squeezed himself next to him, saying meaningfully: "It was only after I came out of the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm that I realized I had so many friends."
This was to comfort Jiang Wang, telling him that they were the best of friends who had gone through hardship together.
Jiang Wang didn't really care about these things. His attention had already been drawn to the three jade talismans.
It's not that I'm not satisfied, but rather that I am too satisfied!
So satisfied that I don't know how to choose.
Three jade slips record Taoist techniques, namely: Sea of Flowers, Thorn Crown, and Binding Tiger.
The Flower Sea is highly toxic and has hallucinogenic effects, making it very suitable for group combat. Carving the Flower Sea onto your being is like always having a battlefield advantageous to you. This single technique alone renders you fearless of encirclement.
The Thorns Crown might look like a defensive spell, but it's actually a buff spell. Its effect lies in unleashing potential; after using this spell, the user's next spell will have its power increased by 20% to 30%!
Do not underestimate these three percent, for a good-quality Dao skill of the second grade can be directly upgraded to nearly that of a first-grade Dao skill.
As for the Dao arts of the third rank, such as flame flowers, they can be directly elevated to the power of a second-rank middling level.
Binding a tiger is a kind of controlling Taoist art.
The heaven and earth have the five elements, and the human body has five energies. The power of wood not only pervades the heavens and earth but also resides within the human body. The principle behind the Bind Tiger technique lies in drawing out the opponent's wood energy to bind and restrain them.
Of course, the specific effects correspond to the opponent's degree of control over the body.
For example, the effect of this esoteric art on Jiang Wang before and after mastering the Four Spirits Refining Body Art is vastly different.
But regardless, as a control technique with virtually no room to dodge, the excellence of Binding Tiger is undeniable.

The three Dao techniques Chong Xuan Sheng took out were all top-notch. Among the excellent-grade Dao techniques, they could even rival the Flame Blossom technique in the C-grade Dao techniques.
What is meant by "fine arts" refers to those Daoist techniques whose value has surpassed the scope of their grade, and there are very few of them. In fact, many cultivators may never have seen them in their lifetime.
This is more precious than higher-level Taoist arts because it can be formed into combat power in the current realm.
I'm afraid even the esteemed Qinghe Academy would find it difficult to produce such valuable Daoist techniques, let alone three at once.
...This doesn't seem like you have a deep understanding of the art of woodcarving, does it
This is blatant boasting about wealth and luxury!
Jiang Wang really wanted to smash Chong Xuan Sheng's fat body, but then he thought these spells were all taken out for him to choose from, and he couldn't help feeling refreshed again.
After much deliberation, Jiang Wang accepted the jade slip that recorded the binding of the tiger.
For him, this was the most suitable Taoist technique for his current combat system, perfectly complementing his attack methods and maximizing his combat power.
Zhong Xuan smiled and stuffed the remaining two jade slips back: "Just remember to return the jade slips after you've finished learning. These are originals, not replicas."
These three Dao techniques were all given to Jiang Wang!
Regardless of whether it is an investment in friendship or the so-called guests, Chong Xuan Sheng's effort is considerable.
This is a genuine second-rate Taoist technique, not some common product. Its value even surpasses that of an average first-rate Taoist technique.
And he gave away three gates at once.
Jiang Wang didn't say much, he directly accepted the three jade slips.
His words are his promises. Once he makes a promise, he will do his best to keep it.

Putting aside friendship, from a purely investment perspective, no matter what Heavy Xuan Sheng invests in him, he will definitely show his value and give Heavy Xuan Sheng a worthwhile return.
"By the way, I have one more gift for you." After Jiang Wang put away the jade slip, Chong Xuan Sheng leaned out and beckoned someone outside.
Shi Fourteen walked in from outside the room, a jade box held delicately in his hands.
After all, he had seen it many times. Jiang Wang smiled and considered it a greeting.
To everyone's surprise, Fourteenth also nodded at him.
Here is the translation of your content:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He still thought this Iron Man wouldn't respond to anyone besides Chong Xuan Sheng. It seems that Fourteenth also recognizes his importance to Chong Xuan Sheng.
"What is this" Jiang Wang asked.
Zhong Xuan Sheng shoved the jade box into Jiang Wang's hand, his squinting eyes unable to see. "Open it and have a look."
Jiang Wang silently moved to the side, creating some distance, before opening the jade box.
What caught his eye was a jade-green fruit, dripping with moisture.
It is shaped like an apricot and has a green vein.
Just by looking at it, one feels refreshed and invigorated, full of life. Inhaling its fragrance is even more delightful, filling the whole room with a sweet scent.
"Bang!"
Chongxuan skillfully closed the jade box and explained, "This medicine is now fully prepared. You must take it immediately or its potency will dissipate."
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
Jiang Wang felt a stirring in her heart. Looking at Chong Xuan, she remained silent for a moment.
“Don't look at me like that. Hahaha.” Chong Xuan smiled awkwardly and said, “I had someone get this longevity fruit prepared a while ago. I didn’t tell you beforehand because I wasn't sure if they would be able to obtain it.”
"Go on, eat it. You should live ten years longer."

This time, Jiang Wang was truly moved.
He is so dedicated and always pushing himself to the limit, never relaxing for a moment. One very important reason for this is:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Time is what he lacks the most.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He was aware that his life span was shortened.
However, anything that can extend one's lifespan is extremely precious.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He had previously received a Longevity Pill from Youguo, which granted him an extra year of life. The effect was barely noticeable, and if not for Yin Guan, he might not have been able to take the pill away.
This Longevity Fruit multiplies one's lifespan tenfold, but its value goes far beyond tenfold.
Such a precious thing couldn't possibly have been obtained by Chong Xuan overnight, it must have taken a considerable amount of time to operate.
That is to say, it is very likely that Chongxuan recognized his shortened lifespan the moment he saw him. He then immediately mobilized his connections to find a longevity treasure.
This preparation was made before they entered the Tianfu Secret Realm, and before he agreed to help Chongxuan compete for the position of Patriarch.
This sentiment is more precious than the lychee fruit itself.
“Brother Chongxuan, this...” Jiang Wang was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Stop talking. You deserve it."
This fat man looked at him and repeated in a firm voice, "You Jiang Wang are absolutely worth it."
He was just about to use his eloquence to deepen his relationship with Jiang Wang further.
Suddenly, a feeling came over her, and she turned her head sharply.
