Transmigration To Magus World-Chapter 81: Special Rewards

Magus cultivation is not something achieved in a single day.

After recovering his internal energy at the inn, Aizen had no intention of continuing his meditation.

The practice of the Absorption Technique involves using one’s internal energy in conjunction with a fusion method to refine and assimilate foreign internal energy into the body.

Although meditating to cultivate internal energy can be beneficial, especially for refining foreign internal energy as one’s internal energy grows stronger, it is ultimately not the optimal way to train the Absorption Technique.

This fourth-tier inner cultivation technique is not particularly precious to the Heavenly Demon Clan.

Most entry-level disciples, and even some of the top inner sect members, have likely learned similar techniques of this tier.

Apart from the supreme Heavenly Demon Sutra, the Heavenly Demon Clan has an extensive collection of powerful techniques.

In the main library of the East Court, there are likely numerous second, third, and even first-tier techniques.

Although the Absorption Technique is still quite useful for someone of Aizen’s current strength and status, its drawbacks will become increasingly apparent as he approaches the Innate Magus Stage and enters the inner Clan By then, it will be inferior to other techniques.

This technique, while effective for rapid progress, takes too many shortcuts and has significant flaws, making it difficult to follow the true path of Magus cultivation.

These insights had gradually become clear to Aizen as he read martial arts texts and reflected on his recent experiences.

To advance to the Innate Magus Stage, one must clear the Spiritual Meridians and over a hundred acupoints while achieving perfection in the magus body refining stage.

Moreover, one’s internal energy must be pure and flawless, transforming into true Aura, which can then be externally projected to enter the Innate Magus Stage.

Achieving pure and flawless internal energy, while seemingly simple in theory, is incredibly challenging.

Many Sorcery artists, in their pursuit of magus body refining stage perfection, rely on numerous pills to enhance their cultivation speed.

While pills can significantly accelerate cultivation, they often result in impure internal energy, let alone flawless energy.

For Aizen, who uses the Absorption Technique to assimilate others’ internal energy, achieving pure and flawless energy is even further out of reach.

The more foreign energy he absorbs and refines, the more chaotic and impure his internal energy becomes.

Although the fusion method can gradually purify and refine the energy, it is time-consuming and offers little advantage over cultivating internal energy directly.

Thus, while the Absorption Technique can quickly elevate him to the level of a powerful martial artist, it will become a significant obstacle when trying to advance to the Innate Magus Stage.

Aizen had already decided that if he obtained a better or equivalent-tier technique from the system’s treasure chest, he would abandon his current cultivation and switch techniques.

For most people, abandoning cultivation would be akin to crippling oneself, but for Aizen, it was not a significant issue.

With the system’s assistance, he could exchange for Healing Essence Revival Pills from the Wisdom marketplace and might even acquire rare items like Blood Bodhi if the opportunity arose.

Though costly, transitioning to a better technique to advance to Innate Magus Stage was absolutely necessary.

Exhaling deeply, Aizen adjusted his breathing, packed his belongings, and left the inn for Viggo’s residence.

When Aizen met Viggo, the inner sect senior seemed to be in good spirits, smiling faintly upon seeing Aizen.

Though Viggo was cheerful, Aizen was not. However, given his current weakness, Aizen could only suppress his displeasure and maintain a subservient demeanor.

"You completed the mission exceptionally well. Not only did you kill Georgie and Nero, but you also eliminated the traitor Trager. Based on your performance, I can only give you a perfect evaluation. Additionally, I’ll award you 30% more merit points for this mission."

Viggo gestured for Aizen to sit.

"Nero was killed by Trager," Aizen replied blandly as he took his seat. Viggo’s words were clearly an attempt to appease him with a carrot-and-stick approach.

Still, if there were benefits to be had, Aizen wouldn’t refuse them.

"A dead man can’t kill. Only the living can," Viggo replied with a smile, unfazed by Aizen’s subtle dissatisfaction.

Regarding the hint of dissatisfaction in Aizen’s words, Viggo merely smiled and paid no mind.

He was indeed in a good mood; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so pleasant.

But in truth, Viggo was always this affable. From Aizen’s very first encounter with him, he had felt that Viggo was someone without airs.

However, someone easy to talk to wasn’t necessarily easy to deal with.

Viggo was definitely not easy to deal with.

To this day, Aizen couldn’t discern Vigo’s level of cultivation. That he had dared to utter such a remark was already a rare moment of impulsiveness for someone usually so cautious.

After all, Aizen was not yet an aged, battle-worn master. Impatience was bound to surface occasionally.

Leaving the residence, Aizen made his way toward the Treasure Pavilion.

His mission was complete, and he had no interest in other matters. Whether the righteous disciples would enter the city was no longer his concern.

The moment Viggo acknowledged his completion of the mission, the system also confirmed it.

A system notification echoed in Aizen’s mind:

"System Notice:

Mission Triesenberg Treasure Vault Dispute’ completed! Rewards: 3,000 Wisdom points, 50% proficiency boost to a random technique."

The rewards for this mission were quite substantial. Though they didn’t match the rewards from clearing the Outer Mountain, it was still a significant gain.

When this mission had first been triggered, the rewards were listed as three question marks, representing uncertainty. Now that the rewards were revealed, Aizen was very satisfied.

The 50% proficiency boost to a random technique turned out to enhance his Mysterious Ice Divine Palm, which had already reached 62% proficiency.

With this reward, its proficiency immediately broke through to the second Stage: Familiar Mastery.

Aizen felt his understanding of the Mysterious Ice Divine Palm deepen significantly. Previously, he had struggled to grasp the essence of its fourth killing move, Void-Splitting Palm.

Now, with this breakthrough, he immediately sensed a difference. Subtleties of the technique began to reveal themselves, and he gradually discovered some of the keys to executing the move.

Reflecting on the transitions and combinations between different moves, Aizen realized some of the mistakes he had made in the past.

These weren’t the main highlights, however. The most critical improvement was his enhanced comprehension of the essence of the Mysterious Ice Divine Palm.

Now, when he struck with a palm, the overwhelming and fearsome outward display appeared diminished, but its power had become more concentrated and penetrating. The palm force was stronger and colder, capable of freezing to the bone.

Carrying a sword and a blade, Aizen walked directly into the Treasure Pavilion.

This visit wasn’t prompted by any orders from Viggo; he had come to exchange for a new weapon.

As a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Clan, Aizen naturally enjoyed certain privileges in the Treasure Pavilion.

For instance, while others might have to offer additional compensation to trade weapons, Heavenly Demon Clan disciples weren’t required to pay for such exchanges.

While the Black Fiend Gloves made his Mysterious Ice Divine Palm incredibly powerful, hand-to-hand combat wasn’t always suitable for every situation.

The Severing Head Sword Technique, being an incomplete technique, had become almost useless to him. Aizen intended to transition to blade techniques, starting with the sect’s Demonic Blade Slash.

To practice blade techniques, he needed a good blade.

The blade he obtained from Trager wasn’t even seventh-tier. Aizen planned to exchange both it and the Curtana Sword for a better blade.
