The purchase allows one to learn the martial arts by themselves, while practice is to learn under a mentor, usually directly on a whole sect of martial arts, or certain special sets of martial arts.

Entrance key could be bought, if one would like to enter higher floor to view the treasures within, but this come to a restriction that one could only purchase a maximum amount of 5 treasures within a floor.
There would be still many special cases that allow exemptions, such as the continent top 10 geniuses, the Ruler of the Continent / states, and once, there is a Heavenly Beast that obtains Cultivation enlightenment, thus allowing it to become a human cultivator as he shed his beast form. From that moment, the Ascension Immortal Treasure Sect added a new condition which allows Demonic Beast that achieves enlightenment to participates as well.
