Lin Mu had a hunch that Senior Xukong and the Saintess might know more about the Grand Bagua Mythic Series.

With how Crown Prince Feng Shun and the others were exerting its value, it was clearly something well known among the experts of the Immortal realm. As such, the Saintess and Xukong would probably know about it too.

Lin Mu even deliberated whether he should ask Senior Xukong right away, but didn't do so.

'He's been silent for a long time… He's probably deep in cultivation right now.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

The last time he had met Xukong in the ring, Lin Mu could somewhat tell that the spider was a bit different. He couldn't exactly place his finger on it, but it did feel like he had grown 'bigger'. 'He might just be close to a breakthrough… though it is still hard to tell what kind of breakthroughs he has,' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Xukong's cultivation was a mystery and unlike the normal cultivators, it didn't seem like the power of his avatar changed much. 'Perhaps it's because he has been in the ring that I cannot tell any difference or maybe he's just masking it.' Lin Mu reckoned.

Whatever it might be, he did think that Xukong was his most significant source of information for things that were unknown to him.

With the decision over the Grand Bagua Mythic Series having been made, the rest of the people started picking their choices.

"Daoist Mu Lin, you can pick whatever you want. I'll use my chance to take this jade slip.

" Crown Prince Feng Shun offered.

"After we obtain it, we'll be sharing it of course.

" He added.

"That'll be fine.

" Lin Mu didn't mind getting more options.

With the Crown Prince taking the Qian Series and Daoist Chu taking the Dui Series, two of the niches on were now filled. Some time passed, as the rest of them also finished making their choices. Unsurprisingly, not many of them took the Five Crystal jade slips as their reward. Only Lady Kang and Qiao De had picked give crystal jade slips other than the Grand Bagua Series.

And of course, both of them had picked the options that gave them the most profits.

Lady Kang picked the blueprints of an armor that could be mass produced and sold on the market for a hefty profit. For someone of her status and connections, this would bring her the most benefit. The Great Kang Auction house had their own armor smiths that would be able to manufacture it and ensure that they had the best gains.

On the other hand, Qiao De picked something similar, but instead of a Weapon or Armor blueprint, it was the recipe for an Alchemical Pill.

There had been several Alchemical Pill recipes in the jade slips, but there was only a single Alchemical Pill Recipe in the Five crystal jade slips!

It was a pill that was specialized in stabilizing foundation for immortals called as the Immortal Faith Mending Pill. It was something that was intended for those Immortals who had broken through without proper preparation and had barely survived the tribulation. This often left long lasting damages to their foundation and took them quite a bit of effort to resolve.

The Immortal Faith Mending Pill was something that could resolve this instability in a shorter time, with some only needing half as much time as normal. This was a great boost to most immortals, and there would be no lack of Immortals that wouldn't want a pill like this.

Even those that were fully confident in breaking through would keep at least a couple of pills on their person just so that they would be ready for any unknown factors. Foundation Stabilizing Pills for immortals were a bit rare and the number of recipes for them was limited. Majority of them were monopolized by a few alchemists and organizations, with a limited being circulated in the market.

But those that were circulated in the market weren't as effective and many only reduced the effects by as little as five percent. Thus, one could imagine that the profits from a Foundation Stabilizing pill like that wouldn't have many buyers.

One would have to consider the risk to benefit ratio of a pill like that, as there was also the risk of pill toxins from a low efficacy pill like that. But the Immortal Faith Mending Pill wasn't like that. Not only did it have a better efficacy, it also had the faint effect of removing Pill toxins from the body. Thus making it one of the best pills to be used for immortals.

It wasn't like there weren't other pills with similar effects in the market. There were a few. But they were controlled by the few dominators in the market and certainly couldn't be manufactured by others. Their methods were secret and couldn't be obtained.

Many had tried to obtain them, either by hook or by crook, but their luck had mostly been bad.

But now, Qiao De had found the recipe for a pill like that!

The joy on his face was evident, with his smile that simply wouldn't go away. It almost felt like someone had stitched his lips to the side to keep them stretched.

'Haha… this single recipe makes this entire trip worth it!' Qiao De thought, dreaming of the wealth he would obtain from this. As a manager of a Black Candle Pavillion's branch, he obviously had access to alchemists too. It wouldn't be hard for him to recruit a few of them to his side and start manufacturing the pills. The question of obtaining ingredients was nonexistent for the man too, as his branch had their own stable supply of them.

With such advantages, the Immortal Faith Mending Pill was the perfect reward he could've asked for.

'Ten years… Ten years should be enough for me to become the Head Manager for the entire Rust Sky World's Black Candle Pavilion.' Qiao De's dreams were certainly not small.

While some picked jade slips with great value, there was someone that didn't care much about that and picked what he took a fancy to.

This was none other than Ziran, who had picked five One Crystal Jade slips from the shelves.

Lin Mu who saw this, couldn't help but find it a bit strange.

"You're only taking One Crystal jade slips?

" Lin Mu questioned.

He could understand Ziran taking one or two of them, but not all five. While the quantity was greater, it didn't mean that the quality would be any good.

"Yes. They are quite interesting.

" Ziran answered.

"How so?

" Lin Mu asked in curiosity.

"Well… I more than the techniques themselves, I find their origins more interesting.

" Ziran replied before presenting them to Lin Mu.

"Why don't you scan them and tell me what you think?

" he asked.

"Alright.

" Lin Mu nodded and did as asked.

~SHUA~

His Immoral sense swept over the five jade slips, their content appearing in his mind.

Two of the jade slips were Qi skills meant for offense, two were meant for defense, and the last one was meant for movement.

"Unrivaled Tiger Fist, Unrivaled Whip Kick, Unrivaled Rock Back, Unrivaled Iron Arms, and Unrivaled Skipping Legs… All of them have a similar name.

" Lin Mu replied.

"Though all of them are quite weak… Only the First Tribulation Stage Immortals might find them decent to use.

" He added.

"Indeed.

" Ziran nodded.

"What else?

"

"Their name… it is a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it?

" Lin Mu asked.

"Unrivaled is a bit too much for this.

"

"That's correct too.

" Ziran chuckled.

"But that exaggeration is exactly why I find them interesting.

"

"Oh?

" Lin Mu was intrigued.

"I already know that these skills were all made by the same person, but I also suspect that these skills actually came from a lost power from the past.

" He added.

"What?

" Lin Mu was surprised.

"Such skills?

"

"Of course, I don't think they were directly made by them, but definitely are linked to them.

" Ziran replied.

"I have a hunch that these were made by some remnant of the Unrivaled Mayhem Martial Sect.

" He added.

"Unrivaled Mayhem Martial Sect… Wasn't that a body cultivating Sect?

" Lin Mu could somewhat recall reading about it.

"Oh? You know about them? That's rare. Not many know about them anymore.

" It was Ziran's turn to be surprised.

"I read about them in a book about the history of Body Cultivation sects. If I recall correctly, they were one of the last few major body cultivation sects left when Qi cultivation had become mainstream.

" Lin Mu said after thinking for a bit.

"That's correct.

" Ziran nodded his head.

"Most of the traces of the Unrivaled Mayhem Marital Sect have been erased by the annals of time after all this time, but some of them pop up occasionally. It was one of the things I've been looking into on behalf of a friend.

I didn't have much luck for the past couple of thousand years, but I didn't expect to find clues now.

" He explained.

"Oh? Was your friend a body cultivator, too?

" Lin Mu guessed.

"Yes, he was possibly one of the strongest Body Cultivators I've ever met,

" Ziran replied with fondness.

"It was his goal to unearth the forgotten history of the Body Cultivation path and restore it to its glory.

"

"Was? Is he not alive?

" Lin Mu narrowed his eyes.

~Sigh~

"I don't know… It's been over four thousand years since I've last heard of it. I have hope that he is still alive, though.

" Ziran answered.
