On the second platform, there was also a chest, but it was made of bronze.
Opening the chest, inside were two books and a jade box.
One of the books was not made of paper. It seemed neither gold nor metal, and had hundreds of pages. When held, it felt light and weightless.
Four big characters were written on it: Battle Dragon True Technique.
Marshall Morgan quickly opened it and began to read carefully.
"It turns out this isn't the second layer of the Battle Dragon True Technique, but the complete Battle Dragon True Technique." Marshall Morgan's eyes lit up.
Continuing to read, the smile on Marshall Morgan's face grew wider.
According to what was recorded here, the Battle Dragon True Technique seen on the first platform was not the first layer, but rather an introduction primarily used to lay the foundation and better unblock three Divine Veins.
And from here, the Battle Dragon True Technique truly begins.
The True Dragon Technique is divided into nine realms.
The Battle Dragon True Technique condenses dragon-shaped True Qi, and the cultivated True Qi is much more solid and dense than ordinary True Qi.
According to what is recorded, as long as you master the first realm, the density of True Qi is twice that of ordinary True Qi.
Mastering the second realm, it becomes three times, and continues this way. If you cultivate to the Ninth Realm, the thick and dense quality of the True Qi is ten times that of ordinary True Qi.
Marshall Morgan was ecstatic. Ten times? What kind of concept is this? It's like comparing steel to rotten wood; with a strike of steel, rotten wood would shatter to pieces.
No wonder it is a Divine-level Technique, truly terrifying.
However, the challenge to successfully cultivate it is no small feat.
Don't even think about the Ninth Realm, even for the First Realm, the requirement is to unblock three Divine Veins; otherwise, there's no way to succeed.
No wonder the introduction of the Battle Dragon True Technique on the first platform mentions that you must unblock three Divine Veins to advance to the next Cultivation Techniques.
This is the First Realm, and the Second Realm requires many supplementary materials for cultivation, all of which are extremely precious materials, some of which Marshall had never heard of.
"Let's not worry about the rest for now. If I can cultivate to the First Realm, with Qi twice as dense and solid as other True Qi, it is already very terrifying."
Marshall Morgan's eyes gleamed with excitement. He carefully read through the Battle Dragon True Technique, then picked up the other book.
Flowing Light Sword Technique, a Yellow-level top-grade swordsmanship. When mastered, the blade glows like a flowing light, swift as lightning, endlessly continuous.
This turns out to be a Yellow-level top-grade Martial Technique. You must know that the Martial Technique that currently secures the Morgan Family is merely a Yellow-level top-grade as well.
Additionally, there was a jade box with the words: Spiritual Essence Pill.
The Spiritual Essence Pill is a Level 3 pill, worth at least tens of thousands of silver taels, yet invaluable on the market. It can quickly boost cultivation, very useful for martial masters, and even more so for Warriors.
"Last time it was the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, and now it's the Spiritual Essence Pill, both perfect for me."
Marshall Morgan suppressed the wild joy in his heart, showing a contemplative look.
He had a feeling that it seemed like someone had arranged all this; otherwise, why does it seem like everything is suited to him every time?
Strange?
But unable to understand, Marshall Morgan shook his head. If he couldn't understand, he'd not think about it. He shifted his gaze to the third platform.
With such precious things on the first and second platforms, what about the third platform?
The way to the third platform also had ninety-nine steps. When Marshall Morgan reached the ninety-ninth step, unsurprisingly, a force blocked his way.
On the third platform, there was no imagined chest, empty except for a stone pedestal in the middle, whose purpose was unclear.
"What anticipation!"
Marshall Morgan had a strong curiosity about the third platform and the platforms above, but unable to go there, he shook his head in helplessness. Marshall Morgan returned to the second platform and began to operate the Battle Dragon True Technique.
It was time to break through to the Warrior Realm.
True Qi circulated through the twelve meridians, with 108 major acupoints lighting up, eventually converging powerfully in the Dantian.
Whoosh...
In the Dantian, a Qi vortex suddenly appeared, spinning rapidly, with the True Qi in the twelve meridians continually converging towards the vortex.
The vortex started large, like fog, but as time passed, the vortex grew smaller and became more solid until it was as tangible as an entity, clearly visible.
Roar...
It seemed like a dragon's roar was sounding. The True Qi within Marshall Morgan's body, like little dragons, shuttled through the meridians and vortex, and Marshall Morgan's aura grew significantly stronger.
Warrior Realm, breakthrough!
Marshall Morgan finally reached the Warrior Realm.
And the Battle Dragon True Technique was naturally cultivated to the First Realm.
Whoosh!
Marshall Morgan opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath, which shot out like an air column over a meter before dissipating.
Bang!
Marshall Morgan stood up suddenly and punched out. The air exploded like a bomb, with a continuous loud noise.
"Such strong power. Exactly how strong am I now, Warrior Second Realm or Third Realm?"
Marshall Morgan, having unblocked three Divine Veins, had already transcended ordinary people, and now having cultivated the Battle Dragon True Technique First Realm, his True Qi was twice as dense and solid as ordinary True Qi.
Marshall Morgan truly didn't know how much his explosive power was now.
Then, Marshall Morgan turned his gaze to the Spiritual Essence Pill.
"I've been rapidly progressing in cultivation lately, I need to stabilize my foundation. It's not appropriate to consume the Spiritual Essence Pill yet. Besides, there are 18 days before the family gathering, plenty of time. I'll consume the Spiritual Essence Pill close to the gathering for greater assurance."
Marshall Morgan clenched his fists, feeling the powerful strength within him. He was filled with confidence.
In the following days, Marshall Morgan spent time both stabilizing his cultivation and practicing several Martial Techniques, especially the Flowing Light Sword Technique.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
At this time, only three days remained before the family gathering.
However, during this time, Marshall Morgan's bloodline hadn't manifested, but his speed of absorbing nature's spiritual energy had increased, reaching the level comparable to a Level 3 bloodline.
Coupled with the Battle Dragon True Technique, even during normal cultivation, Marshall Morgan's speed in absorbing spiritual energy was not inferior to an ordinary Level 4 bloodline.
In this half month, not only had Marshall Morgan's cultivation been fully consolidated, but it was also advancing steadily.
He had already reached the peak of Warrior First Realm.
In terms of Martial Technique, the Flame Dragon Fist was still at the fourth level, reaching mastery.
The more advanced a Martial Technique, the harder it gets to improve. Some people may never bring a Yellow-level Lower Grade Martial Technique to mastery in their lifetime.
However, the Dragon and Snake Step had progressed, reaching the fourth level as well, achieving mastery.
As for the Flowing Light Sword Technique, a Yellow-level top-grade, it was even harder to cultivate.
In that half month, with the help of the chanting, Marshall Morgan had only reached the second level, achieving small success.
Marshall Morgan sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, brewing a cup of tea to sip slowly.
After continuous cultivation, Marshall Morgan wanted to relax a bit and then make the final sprint.
"Young Master, Young Master, I have good news for you."
As the voice fell, a charming and lovely young girl appeared before Marshall Morgan.
It was Autumn Adler.
