Yao Mun dug into the ground below the battlefield and made himself a makeshift cave.
Once he was finished and settled in, he opened the book and studied the technique. After a week of studying, he had fully understood the technique.
In the next week, he combined the technique with his hundreds of other healing techniques.
As the two weeks passed, Yao Mun had finally created a complete healing technique like no other. Its power and usefulness could be increased and other things could be added, but it was a fully complete technique.
Yao Mun activated the technique and felt its power. It was twice as good at healing compared to before.
For the next period of time, Yao Mun went back to healing his soul. It took much longer and he could not increase the soul healing techniques effectiveness, but the job was soon done and Yao Mun was back in his peak state.
Yao Mun left the cave and arrived at the surface once again. He looked around the battlefield, but all he saw was corpses and dried blood.
Yao Mun clicked his teeth as he flew away. He hated absorbing dried blood. It was hundreds of times better fresh.
As he flew away, Yao Mun thought about the masked man's offer.
'I have ten years until the offer is void. To be safe, I will make my way there in 9 years. Until then, I should look for more healing techniques and cultivate.' Yao Mun thought to himself.
Although he hated working with others, the three supreme healing techniques of the beast world were far too tempting.
For the Heaven world, the number one healing technique was held by powerful Heavenborns and few even knew of it.
The beast world, however, held great pride in their healing techniques. Everyone knew of them. The three supreme techniques of the beast world were all equal or greater than the Heaven worlds greatest technique.
They were the supreme beast phoenix clans rebirth technique, the water fish clans flowing healing technique, and the earth mole clans egg healing technique.
The phoenix clans rebirth technique could only be used to its full potential by phoenixes. Otherwise, even with a fire affinity, the effect would only be at the level of a top grade healing technique. It wasn't exactly powerful enough to cause a rebirth, but it could essentially heal any phoenix as long as it wasn't dead.
Even if Yao Mun got that, it would be useful since he would only be pulling information and inspiration from it.
The water fish clans healing technique could be used by anyone, but a water affinity would greatly help.
The earth mole clans technique was the same but an earth affinity would help a lot.
None of these techniques would be of much use to Yao Mun alone, but with his new healing technique that could be ranked just below the three supreme techniques, they would be very useful.
Unfortunately, all of these techniques were out of his reach. He wouldn't dare burst into the phoenix clans territory if he had a hundred times the gut.
As for the water fish clan and the earth mole clan, they were just below the top tier beast clans in terms of strength and were valued and protected by all of the beast clans.
Yao Mun may be able to enter and steal the technique, but he would never make it out alive.
As for the Heavenborn healing technique, it was stupid to even consider going.
After looting the fortress and finding some spirit stones, as well as some materials, Yao Mun flew towards a certain area that held a certain tavern that had a certain secret organization's branch held within it.
After flying for an entire day, Yao Mun saw a small city not too far away. It was out in the open in the middle of a plains without any walls.
This was the peace held by the Heavenborns. The only places with walls were those that had enough money for decorations.
Whether it be beasts or supreme beasts, they had no thought of attacking a Heavenborn city. As for other Heavenborns, a wall would not stop them anyways since they could just slip right on in.
Yao Mun freely entered and walked towards a tavern in the south side of the city. The area was considered just above the slums, but below a middle class area.
As he walked in, Yao Mun walked to a table in the far right corner and sat down. Next to this table was a wall with a vent. Yao Mun knocked on the vent 7 times before a voice was heard.
"Good evening Yao Mun. The shadow information sect greets you." An old voice spoke.
Yao Mun knew it was a disguised voice but ignored it.
"I need more information on possible locations for healing techniques." Yao Mun said.
"We already have that information ready. Did you happen to grab the material we requested?" The old voice asked.
Yao Mun didn't speak and took a yellow horn out of his spatial ring. It was one of the things looted from the fortress.
"Just to let you know, your information turned out fruitless." Yao Mun said as he opened the vent and tossed the horn in. Luckily, the vent was affected by a formation, so the horn made no noise when colliding with it.
"As we said, our unconfirmed information comes with a certain risk of wrongness. I do apologize, but you know how this works." The voice said.
Yao Mun snorted but didn't speak.
He had worked with the shadow information sect for a long time and a lot of information had turned out correct.
After a moment, a letter in an envelope was handed through the vent.
"Good working with you." The voice said.
Yao Mun got up and walked out of the tavern. After renting a night at an inn, he opened the letter in the room.
'An underground fortress 10,000 miles from here has a small chance of holding a mid tier healing technique.' Yao Mun read.
There was also a map inside with a certain area marked with a red X.
Yao Mun memorized the letter and the map then burned it.
Healing techniques were divided into 6 basic levels. Trash, low, mid, high, top, and supreme.
At the supreme level, the power could vary. Supreme merely referred to the greatest techniques around.
