After Jin extracted the information, he shifted his gaze to the next reward which was the Astral body tempering arts. With a thought he expanded the info panel.
The techniques and cultivation arts in this world are graded according to their learning difficulty and power in a rank which goes from low to high: human, earth, heaven, immortal and divine grade. Each grade is further divided into low, medium and high ranks. Weapons, armours and treasures are also ranked according to this metric.
The Astral body tempering arts he received from the system was actually a heaven grade high-rank body tempering technique. Cultivating it to the extreme can make one's skin stronger than metal and able to tank any blow with just the physical body, while giving one the power to blow up stars with a casual punch, coupled with nearly boundless vitality.
"Extract!" Jin said in his mind and immediately the knowledge and insight of the Astral body art was transferred to his brain. After wincing in pain for some time Jin focused on his body and found out to his shock that his body was undergoing subtle but definite changes.
"Wow! This body tempering art is so powerful? I haven't even started cultivating it and I have already started seeing changes in my body?" Jin said in astonishment, while still observing his body which was now stronger than a full grown man even though he had not actively started cultivating.
After the excitement that came from the tempering art faded he took a look at his next reward. Myriad spear arts, once again Jin expanded the details below and just like the body tempering art the spear arts awarded by the system was also a heaven grade high-rank technique.
"The system is really generous! I just opened two rewards from the novice pack and they both turned out to be heaven grade high-rank!" Jin mused because according to the knowledge he received earlier, what most cultivators of the Crimson Jade Continent used were human and earth grade cultivation techniques.
They could be bought by anyone in auction houses and black markets with some years of frugal spending and saving.
Heaven grade techniques were owned by the more powerful cultivation families, clans, sects and organisations.
Immortal grade cultivation techniques were not easily found as they were hidden away by the top sects and factions as secret arts for only a select few to cultivate.
They can be found in the biggest and best auction houses when they hold grand auctions but they cost an arm and a leg making it impossible for the poor, which made up more than 50% of the population, to acquire. Only the extremely wealthy and powerful were in the running for possessing an immortal grade technique.
Besides auction houses, people can acquire high rank techniques through lucky encounters and if an old cultivators tomb or cave was found. Whenever this happens it triggers a deadly quest for power which claims the lives of several cultivators and sometimes even mortals can be caught in the fray.
Divine grade ones were basically a legend due to how scarce and difficult they were to obtain. Individuals who possessed Divine grade cultivation techniques have all gone ahead to make a legend during their lifetime. While those not strong enough to safekeep them are plotted against, mobbed or have a wide spread manhunt and bounty on their heads till they either die or go into hiding till they are stronger, but the later rarely happens as they're caught and killed.
"Extract!" Jin braced himself as all the information and insight into the myriad spear arts was transferred into his brain. "Ugh, I can never get used to this nauseating feeling" so he said but there was a wide grin on his face due to how powerful and fluid the newly acquired spear arts was.
"This spear art is truly amazing, not only does it contain hundreds of different spear techniques, it also helps me cultivate the spear aura and spear intent". Cultivating the spear art to the extreme allows one to fluidly change up the moves of one spear technique to a different spear technique, thereby creating new and original spear techniques in the process. The "myriad spear arts" was well named
