"If most techniques are for people who use internal energy, how does that help me find one that's suitable?" Chu Liuxiang asked.

"If you're looking for a suitable technique, then you should pick a technique that compliments the attribute of your Spiritual Veins." Feng Yuxiang said.

"Spiritual Veins? What is that, and how do I find my attribute?"

"Spiritual Veins are organs that cultivators produce alongside their Dantian when they first become cultivators, and they are actually what absorbs the spiritual energy in the air. The higher the quality of one's Spiritual Veins, the easier and faster their cultivation will be." Feng Yuxiang explained.

And she continued, "For example, if two cultivators start cultivating from the same starting point, the one with ordinary Spiritual Veins might reach Spirit Warrior in four years, but the one with better quality Spiritual Veins will be able to reach that same level within half the time."

"Spiritual Veins can also possess certain attributes, making the cultivation of certain techniques easier and faster. If someone has fire attribute Spiritual Veins, they would be able to learn fire techniques twice as fast if not even faster than someone that does not have fire attribute Spiritual Veins. Of course, not all Spiritual Veins possess an attribute."

"As for how one can tell if their Spiritual Veins possess an attribute, there are treasures out there that do the job. Do you want to see if your Spiritual Veins possess an element?" Feng Yuxiang asked Chu Liuxiang afterward.

"Yes, I would like to know my element— if I have one." Chu Liuxiang nodded.

"Okay, but since I don't have such treasures right now, we will have to do this another way. I will require a drop of your blood." Feng Yuxiang said.

"My blood?"

"Yes, I can identify if your Spiritual Veins possess an element through your blood by tasting it."

"You're going to drink my blood…?" Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows, feeling a little uneasy about letting someone drink her blood.

Feng Yuxiang smiled and said, "In case you forgot, I am not human. I am a Divine Beast."

"You're a what?!" Min Li exclaimed in a shocked voice after hearing Feng Yuxiang's words, as she wasn't aware of such facts until now.

"Indeed, I am not human. I am actually a Vermillion Phoenix," she confirmed.

"A real phoenix…?" Min Li felt her strength being sucked out of her body after learning that she had been traveling with a Divine Beast this entire time— a Phoenix, at that.

"If you don't want to do it now, we can do it later when we have the treasure." Feng Yuxiang said a moment later.

"It's fine, we can do it now. It's just a drop of blood, right?" Chu Liuxiang said.

"Yes."

Chu Liuxiang poked a small hole on her finger before letting Feng Yuxiang lick the blood being squeezed out.

"Hmm…" Feng Yuxiang closed her eyes and focused on appraising her element.

"Congratulations, you possess a rare attribute for your Spiritual Veins, and that element is ice."

"Is that any good? I can't tell." Chu Liuxiang asked.

"Of course. Any rare attribute is good. Your ice element is basically a superior version of the water element. They say only one in one million cultivators have a rare attribute."

"That's great to hear. Congratulations, Lulu." Yuan said to her.

And he continued, "Feng Feng, can you also see if my Spiritual Veins possess any element?"

Feng Yuxiang smiled and said, "Young Master, I have already tried looking at your Spiritual Veins many times, but I couldn't taste anything."

"Eh? Does that mean I don't possess elemental Spiritual Veins?" Yuan felt a little disappointed by the results.

However, Feng Yuxiang quickly said, "That's not entirely correct, Young Master. I should've worded it better. It's more like I couldn't tell. In other words, I don't know if you have an attribute or not."

"How is that any better?" Yuan asked.

"Because that means you might possess elemental Spiritual Veins, but they are too high quality for me to tell."

"If you really want to learn about your attribute, we will need the proper treasure."

"I understand…" Yuan nodded.

"Then we'll start looking for techniques with Water and Ice elements."

After looking through the jade slip for a few moments, Yuan began walking around the fourth floor, picking out all of the techniques that complimented Chu Liuxiang's Spiritual Veins.

"That's a lot of techniques…" Chu Liuxiang mumbled in a dazed voice before the mountain of scrolls before her.

"There's around 60 techniques for you to choose from." Yuan said with a smile.

"This is going to take a while…"

"Take your time. I'm also going to look around."

After helping Chu Liuxiang carry the techniques to a nearby table, Yuan left to look for his own technique.

Feng Yuxiang and Min Li stayed with Chu Liuxiang to make sure she wasn't bothered and to give advice if needed.

Meanwhile, Yuan pondered about what kind of technique he wanted.

'I already have plenty of sword techniques but only one dagger technique. I should look for a new dagger technique.'

With that in mind, Yuan began searching for dagger techniques in the jade slip.

Once he found where the techniques' were located in the store, he went to look at them on the shelves.

'Phantom Blade Dance… Earth-rank… '

'Poison Blade Barrage… Heaven-rank…'

'Blade of a Thousand Cuts… Heaven-rank'

"Oh? This Ten Thousand Ghost Blades technique seems very powerful…" Yuan immediately took a liking to the technique after looking at its description.

<Ten Thousand Ghost Blades>

<Rank: Divine>

<Description: Creates up to 10,000 ghost weapons of the user's weapon and control each of them as though they are a separate weapon. Must wield a dagger to activate. Requires 10,000 Qi per second for each ghost weapon created.>

'Does this mean I can basically have up to 10,000 Starry Abyss fighting for me at once? Will I even be able to control that many at once?' Yuan closed his eyes and imagined ten thousand flying daggers surrounding him.

'The only downside is its enormous Qi requirements… If I activate 10,000 ghost weapons at once, that means it will consume 100 million Qi every second. How much Qi do I even have at the moment? I can't tell because of the bugged system…'
