After hearing Brian Hughes’s introduction, Peter Brown asked, "Steward, if that’s the case, then Body Refining Techniques up to a Hundred-Star level should be attainable within the Sect, right?"

Looking at Peter, Brian Hughes said, "Divine Sect has rules in place. There are two sources for acquiring Body Refining Techniques: one is through the Sect’s teachings, which also includes a reward system, and the other is to rely on one’s luck and initiative—purchasing one, finding treasure, and so on. However, one thing is absolutely prohibited, and that is private teachings. If discovered, both the giver and receiver will be crippled. So, although I have a Body Refining Technique that incorporates up to Twenty-Star power, I cannot teach it to you. You must understand my position."

There are such rules?

Peter truly harbored the thought of getting a Body Refining Technique from Brian Hughes, not expecting to encounter such rules.

Seeing the disappointed look on Peter’s face, Brian Hughes said, "Don’t worry about this. With your current situation, you should aim to become an official disciple. As long as you become an official disciple, even if only an outer disciple, you’ll be able to learn Body Refining Techniques up to the 50 Star level. So, what you need to do now is to speed up. The contribution of Shengu this time will also be rewarded with a set of Body Refining Techniques. You should know that among the rewards this time, there is a technique that allows the body to withstand Ten-Star power."

There are such rewards!

Peter started to get excited at this point. If that were true, it would be worth striving for.

Seeing Peter’s interest, Brian Hughes gave a wry smile and said, "I have some not-so-good news to tell you. This time, several people who are responsible for cultivating Shengu are eyeing the Divine Artifact, so there will be competition. Among them, there are two people I cannot compete with. One was born into a wealthy family, their riches are immense, and I estimate he will use money to buy Shengu to make the contribution. If that’s the case, it’s entirely possible for him to contribute Shengu from dozens of mu of land. Another is a disciple of a Fifty-Star Elder; that kid was punished to manage the Shengu cultivation here because of some misdeed. He has much more backing than I do, so I can’t compete with him either."

Peter somewhat helplessly asked, "What should we do then?"
