1409 Perks of Being a General

“If you’re done here, I will take you back.” Xu Jiaqi said.

Yuan looked at her with slightly raised eyebrows. Perhaps he was overthinking it, but he sensed a hint of irritation within Xu Jiaqi’s voice, but he couldn’t recall doing anything to annoy her.

“Yes, I am done here,” he said a moment later.

Xu Jiaqi looked at Senior Bai, who nodded, creating a portal before them the next second.

“This will take you back to the Myriad of Techniques,” he said.

“Do you have any questions before you leave?”

Yuan pondered for a bit before asking, “How do I come here without your help?”

Surely, there must be a way to enter the Celestial Overlords’ headquarters without Senior Bai’s assistance. Otherwise, that would make Senior Bai a gatekeeper.

“We have places spread throughout the Nine Heavens with portals that lead to this place, though they only exist within the Sixth Heaven and above,” said Senior Bai.

“But if you ever want to visit this place for whatever reason, you can just contact me through the Myriad of Techniques,” he added.

Yuan nodded, “I see. Thank you.”

“Until next time.”

Yuan walked through the portal the next moment, disappearing from the Celestial Overlords’ headquarters and returning to the Myriad of Techniques.

“Have you guys found any suitable techniques?” Yuan asked the others when he returned to their side.

“This place has an abundance of techniques! I can’t believe such a treasure trove exists!” Xi Meili exclaimed, rendered speechless by the vast array of techniques available for purchase.

Yuan looked at her, who was carrying over a dozen techniques in her arms, smiled, and said, “That’s an impressive amount of techniques you have there.”

lightsvl m She chuckled, “Don’t worry, I’m not expecting you to pay for them.”

“If they’re below a certain rank, I can acquire them for free,” he said.

“Really?! They are all Divine-rank techniques, though.”

“Probably”

Yuan looked at Meixiu and the others. Excluding Xiao Hua, they all had two to three techniques in their grasp. Upon entering the Fourth Heaven, the volume of techniques accessible in the Myriad of Techniques had significantly expanded, unveiling numerous new and formidable skills for them to explore.

“Are you all ready?” he asked.

They nodded.

Seeing this, Yuan guided them to the front desk, where a middle-aged man was overseeing the operations.

This was his first time buying techniques from the Myriad of Techniques after he achieved the rank of General.bender

He showed his symbol to the middle-aged man and asked, “Do I get any discounts?”

Even though Xu Jiaqi warned him to not show off his symbol until he increased his cultivation, he figured that it would be safe to do so within the Myriad of Techniques.

The middle-aged man furrowed his brows upon seeing the symbol, casting a disapproving glare at Yuan while scrutinizing him from head to toe. 𝓁𝑖𝘣𝘳ℯ𝘢𝘥.𝒸ℴ𝑚

“You’re a General within the Celestial Overlords? How come I don’t recognize you?” The middle-aged man spoke in a cold voice. He was a Warrior in the faction, and he’d memorized all of the Generals and above. Yet, he didn’t recognize Yuan.

Moreover, Yuan seemed clueless about his own privileges as a General.

“I’m a new member, and I was only recently promoted to the rank of General,” said Yuan.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes at Yuan, whose cultivation was simply too low to be part of the Celestial Overlords, much less a General there.

The middle-aged man sighed a moment later, “While uncommon, there are people like you from time to timebold individuals who think they can fool the Myriad of Techniques. However, you are especially bold, to utter such ridiculous lies with a straight face. How can someone who just joined the faction become a General already?”

“Eh?” Yuan raised an eyebrow at his ominous words.

“The punishment for impersonating one of us is death, but I will give you a chance to admit your crime and apologize.” The middle-aged man spoke in a calm voice, yet his gaze was cold and oozing with killing intent.

Seeing this, Yuan sighed, “What’s the point of this symbol if nobody believes me? And don’t you have a talisman that proves I am a member of the faction?”

“That only proves you are a member, not a General.” The middle-aged man calmly said.

Yuan took away the symbol the next moment and retrieved a medallion from his spatial ring.

“Here.”

“T-this is” The middle-aged man swallowed nervously at the sight of Senior Bai’s medallion.

“Don’t tell me you’re going to say it’s a fake.” Yuan calmly said.

The middle-aged man accepted the medallion into his hands, taking a moment to thoroughly inspect it.

“It’s real” he muttered in a dazed voice.

“If you still have doubts, you can ask Senior Bai.”

“T-that won’t be necessary. I apologize for doubting you, General. May I have your name?”

“Yuan.”

“Then, General Yuan, allow me to give you a brief explanation of your privileges as a General. As a General, you are allowed to acquire any Heaven-rank and Divine-rank techniques from the Myriad of Techniques for free. Ancient-rank techniques will have a seventy-five percent discount.”

“Divine-rank techniques are free for me? That’s very generous.” Yuan didn’t expect the faction to be so generous.

“That may seem to be the case at first glance, but if you think about it, most Generals have a cultivation of Immortal Ascension and beyond. At that level, Divine-rank techniques aren’t as useful.” The middle-aged man explained.

“Makes sense.” Yuan nodded.

It only seemed like a crazy privilege to him because he was still a Spirit King in the Fourth Heaven, where Divine-rank techniques are still rare and valuable. In the upper heavens, however, they are not as valuable and sought after.

Yuan turned to look at Xi Meili and the others and said, “You heard him. As long as it’s not Ancient-rank, you can have them for free.”

“No way” Xi Meili muttered in a dazed voice with a bewildered expression on her face. She had prepared to spend a fortune on her techniques, so it was baffling to hear that she wouldn’t need to spend a coin on them. 𝓁𝘪𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝑚

‘But, I won’t complain!’ Xi Meili merrily walked over to the front desk and laid all of her techniques before the middle-

aged man, creating a small mountain.
