The Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique?
Looking at the system's reward, Ye Chen couldn't help but clench his fists. His expression was filled with pure astonishment. The disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sect were renowned for their formidable physical strength. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique was the sect's signature martial art.
The Dragon Elephant Fist was merely a simplified version of this technique. He had only given away a potentially flawed, simplified version, yet he had received the complete and original technique in return? This was truly a windfall of unprecedented proportions. After all, this was something money could not buy.
But the real surprise came next. The system had also granted him a critical hit reward: An ethereal projection of the founding patriarch of the Dragon Elephant Sect, with whom he could directly consult on the cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique?
The value of this was even greater than that of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique itself. Cultivation techniques weren't easily mastered. There were countless subtle nuances that could never be fully captured in words. They required a master's careful guidance.
Without such guidance, figuring things out on his own would take far too long and might even lead him down the wrong path. This was one of the reasons why the larger sects were so attractive to cultivators. But even disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sect could only attend the lectures of their elders.
But Ye Chen? He would receive one-on-one tutelage from the sect's founding patriarch himself! This was a privilege even the sect's direct disciples could not enjoy. His system had truly come through. And as for Lin Ke'er, that little green tea? She was truly a treasure trove in disguise.
Ye Chen stopped hesitating. He immediately retrieved the jade slip from the system's space and pressed it to his forehead. At the next moment, a torrent of vast information surged into Ye Chen's mind.
Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique — Qi Refining Chapter!
Only the Qi Refining Chapter, not the entire technique. Yet Ye Chen was not disappointed—in fact, this was more than reasonable. If a simplified version of the technique, possibly with hidden flaws, could be rewarded with the full text through a tenfold return, then it would only mean the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique wasn't as formidable as its legends suggested. In that case, Ye Chen would be the one left disappointed.
"Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique. It can refine the skin, flesh, muscles, bones, and internal organs. When practiced to its depths, the body becomes like the ancient dragon elephant, capable of destroying heaven and earth.…"
Ye Chen found the introduction somewhat exaggerated, likely just a bit of boasting, much like the self-promotions of companies from his previous life. Even if there was a bit of exaggeration, however, the idea that cultivating this technique would make one's physical body invincible among peers wasn't an unrealistic claim.
Ye Chen immediately immersed himself in studying the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique. Whenever he encountered something he didn't understand, he would summon the ethereal projection of the founding patriarch and ask for clarification.
The system's projection was remarkably user-friendly. The timer only counted when the projection was in use, and it could be dismissed at any time. It was just like the game speed boosters Ye Chen had used in his past life. Though the projection appeared to last for only a day, it was more than enough time for Ye Chen to utilize it extensively.
The following week, Ye Chen did not leave his room. Each day, aside from cultivation, he focused solely on mastering the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique. When he ran low on top-tier Qi Gathering Pills, he simply refined another batch.
Ye Chen's alchemy skills were becoming increasingly refined. After a single session, almost all the pills produced were of top quality. Life was certainly becoming quite comfortable for him.

The cold wind howled outside the window. Inside Ye Chen's room, however, it was as warm as spring.
Ye Chen, bare-chested, stood within the room. His muscles rippled with every movement, and sweat poured down his body. His spine moved like a great dragon, shifting as he struck different poses. But the most remarkable change was in his skin and flesh, which looked far more delicate yet was resilient.
A week of cultivation had allowed Ye Chen to experience firsthand the terrifying power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique. His skin, flesh, muscles, bones, and internal organs were all undergoing simultaneous enhancement. The results were simply astonishing. Not only was his strength increasing, but his defenses were also growing stronger.
The most significant improvement was in his internal organs. Ye Chen could feel his heart beating more powerfully, his senses growing sharper, and the world around him becoming clearer. It was as though his vision had sharpened and his hearing had grown more acute. This was undoubtedly the benefit of enhancing his internal organs.
Such astounding results could be attributed not only to the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique but also to the guidance of the founding patriarch and the aid of medicinal pills.
When Ye Chen's father had purchased the external cultivation technique, the shop had conveniently included ten Elephant Blood Pills, which was a supplementary body-strengthening elixir. These pills were standard for the Dragon Elephant Hand technique.
However, the Elephant Blood Pills were a secret concoction of the Dragon Elephant Sect, with no formula available to the outside world.
It was a clever scheme: Sell a flawed external technique with future profits tied to its use. One couldn't avoid spending spirit stones. It was a legitimate scheme, in broad daylight.
Naturally, the Elephant Blood Pills weren't available for sale at the Silver Moon Market. Ye Chen had obtained the recipe for these pills from the ethereal projection of the Dragon Elephant Sect's founding patriarch. As long as he gathered the necessary materials, he could now refine them himself. It was truly an unfair bargain.
The projection of the Dragon Elephant patriarch was like a vast treasure trove. The only regret was that the patriarch only answered questions related to the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique. Had that not been the case, Ye Chen might as well have hired a Nascent Soul ancestor as his personal tutor. Fresh chapters posted on N()velFire.net
After finishing his cultivation for the day, Ye Chen glanced at the sky and prepared to head out. There were only three Elephant Blood Pills left, and they were all of inferior quality. Now that he had the formula, it was time for him to gather the herbs and refine them himself.
Additionally, the five remaining spirit stones his father had given him were all he had left. It was time to sell off the Qi Gathering Pills he had accumulated over the past few days. He also had some new gifts to send to Lin Ke'er. These were all important matters, and he couldn't afford to miss them.
Leaving his pharmacy, Ye Chen made his way toward the alley outside the main street. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique had enhanced his senses, and after confirming that no one was watching, Ye Chen swiftly changed into a new set of clothes in an empty alley.
At the same time, the flesh and skin on his face began to shift. In the blink of an eye, he took on the appearance of a middle-aged man, his features somewhat unusual. This was one of the benefits of body refinement. By controlling his flesh and skin, he could alter his appearance.
However, since he was still a beginner, the change wasn't perfect, and his new face looked a bit strange. His bone refinement was also lacking. Otherwise, he could have altered his height and physique as well, ensuring total perfection.
Returning to the main street, no one took notice of Ye Chen. He walked leisurely toward the largest store in the area—Green Cloud Shop. This was a subsidiary shop of the Green Cloud Sect.
From his predecessor's memories, Ye Chen knew that the sects in this world were quite adept at making money, and they weren't foolish either.
For example, the Green Cloud Sect didn't try to monopolize all the resources within its territory. Instead, it supported affiliated families, like the Ye family, to hold onto them. After all, if they tried to control everything themselves, it would only lead to resentment from other factions.
Moreover, no matter how powerful the Green Cloud Sect was, they couldn't station experts everywhere. So, for many less critical resources, the Green Cloud Sect didn't directly intervene.
But when it came to bustling locations, the Green Cloud Sect always had a presence. The goods sold by the Green Cloud Sect were certainly not something smaller families or loose cultivators could compete with. Their financial power was far superior. No one dared to cause trouble when doing business with Green Cloud Shop.
Thus, despite giving up on numerous resources, the Green Cloud Sect still took a large portion of the profits and earned vast amounts. There had been an instance when rogue cultivators had dared to seize a market where Green Cloud Shop operated. The next day, three Foundation Establishment elders arrived, and who knows what happened to that rogue cultivator….
Ye Chen intended to go to Green Cloud Shop to sell the pills he had on hand and, while he was there, purchase a batch of herbs.
