After leaving the hotel, Yuan and the others wandered around the city asking the pedestrians if there was a Myriad of Techniques in the city while trying their best to avoid the Players.
After half an hour of speaking to random people, they eventually found the right person to speak with.
"Yes, the Myriad of Techniques should be five blocks down that direction."
"Thank you!"
Once Yuan had the directions, they imdiately made their way to the store.
"Welco to the Myriad of Techniques. If this is your first ti at our store, please put your hand on this crystal ball." A woman that Yuan didn't recognize greeted them at the entrance.
'It's a different person again… How often do they change out the workers here?' Yuan wondered to himself.
Chu Liuxiang placed her hands on the crystal ball since this is her first ti at the store.
And sure enough, just like everyone that follows Yuan, she had a heavenly destiny.
"A heavenly destiny!" The woman was surprised to see the results.
"Congratulations! You can access the first and second floor of the store!"
Min Li touched the crystal ball next.
"You have a minor destiny. You may access the first floor." The woman said after looking at her results.
'A minor destiny?' Yuan raised his eyebrows, as he'd expected Min Li to have a heavenly destiny just like everyone else.
However, unbeknownst to Yuan, Min Li was born without even a minor destiny. It was only after she t him that her destiny had changed from having no destiny to a minor destiny, which is an extrely rare occurrence.
After they entered the store, Yuan said to the others, "I am going to speak with the person working at the front desk. If you guys want to look at techniques while I am away, go ahead."
"I don't really care about the techniques, so I am going to continue follow you." Chu Liuxiang said.
"I will do the sa as well." Min Li said.
Yuan already knew Feng Yuxiang and the others' response, so he didn't ask them.
Soti later, he arrived at the front desk, where a familiar face was working.
"You're still working here?" Yuan was surprised to see the sa young man from all of his previous visits.
"Hmm? Oh! Esteed guest! It's good to see you again!" The young man also recognized Yuan.
"Why are you surprised that I am still working here? Would you rather that I get fired?" He continued with a bittersweet smile on his face.
"No, that's not why I asked. The lady working at the front door changed again since my last visit, so I was wondering if everyone here can only work in this place for a certain amount of ti." Yuan said.
"Ah, I see. Only the those working at the front door and the guards here get changed every few weeks. I am a permanent worker in this place, so unless I am fired, I won't go anywhere anyti soon."
"I see…"
"Anyways, why have you returned this ti? Are you looking for more techniques?" The young man then asked.
"Not exactly. My faction rank increased to Warrior not long ago, and I was wondering if there are any changes to my benefits."
"What? Your rank increased? But it hasn't even been a full year since you joined the faction! I have never seen anyone progress so quickly before! How did you do it?" The young man was surprised to hear that Yuan had beco a Warrior within the faction already.
"I kind of destroyed an entire evil sect…" Yuan said with a slight smile.
"Amazing! No wonder your rank rose so quickly! One already gets a lot of points by killing an evil cultivator, and you destroyed an entire evil sect!" The young man's admiration for Yuan was as clear as day.
And he continued, "As for your benefits, indeed you get to receive more benefits now that your rank has improved."
"Instead of 10 free techniques a year, you now get to choose 20 free techniques every year. However, that's not all. Although it's only a one-ti thing, you also get to receive a Divine-rank technique for free that doesn't count towards the 20 techniques."
"20 free techniques and a free Divine-rank technique?" Yuan's jaw dropped upon hearing his upgraded benefits.
Chu Liuxiang and Min Li were also dumbfounded after learning about his benefits for the first ti, and they wondered how he got these benefits in the first place.
"Since you still have 4 free techniques from before, you now have 14 free techniques for this year." The young man said, and he continued, "If you wish to pick your Divine-rank technique, you'll need to head to the fourth floor, which you should have access to if you ca here from the Spirit Heaven."
"Fourth floor? But my friends can only access up to the second floor. Is there any way for them to co with ?" Yuan asked.
"Normally, they would need permission from soone with authority, but since you're part of the Celestial Overlords, and a Warrior-rank at that, you can bring them with you, but they cannot wander."
"I understand. That's good enough."
"If you need anything else, you know where to find ."
Yuan and the others began making their way to the 4th floor, where all of the Heaven-rank and Divine-rank cultivation techniques could be found.
"Is it just or are there too few people in this place?" Yuan noticed this as they walked through each floor. "The Myriad of Techniques is connected to every store in the Nine Heavens, right? This place should be crowded if that was the case."
"Who knows. The Myriad of Techniques is more mysterious and profound than we can fathom. Perhaps you can ask one of the workers here if you're really curious." Feng Yuxiang said.
He nodded, "I will do just that after we're done looking at the techniques."
Soti later, they arrived on the fourth floor, and to their surprise, it was multiple tis larger than the previous three floors combined.
