Choosing a Mantra was a difficult process, because only a mantra that is suitable for a certain person would bring the best result.
If a person chooses a Mantra that was not suited for him, even if the person was a genius his cultivation will lag.
This was also one of the reasons why Masters were highly revered in the world, A true master would be able to understand a disciples strength and weakness.
The master will make sure that the disciple chooses the perfect Mantra for himself and gain the best result.
Certain mantras involved taking certain poses to bring in the desired result, which made the choice more varied.
Dror has only cultivated a low tier mantra which was provided from the school for commoners.
But here the choice made him more confused, there were 8 mantras which were more focused on Earth elemental bodies.
He could choose any one of them for free... after reading about it for a while, he was thinking of choosing the most costliest one as it had shown the best result among the people with Earth elemental bodies.
But before he could choose, he heard a dissatisfied sigh " you really are a money hungry ghost... do you think just because it's costlier it would be better for you..."
Dror was taken aback by the Evil swords comment, so he asked " Isn't the costlier the better, and the number of people who had shown better results after practicing it is also large..."
Evil sword replied in a haughty manner " just because it is better for others it doesn't mean it is better for you... As far as I can see all these people were natural born Earth elemental bodies and you are not.

Your Earth element body is not natural and if I am not mistaken you have also eaten the Dharma fruit of the earth element... you should choose the second Mantra which has shown the least effect for others and is the cheapest... This mantra was put forward by an intelligent master, the problem is that it take a long time for ordinary Earth elemental bodies to grasp the true essence of the mantra... but your situation is completely different, hah....That Dharma fruit was completely wasted on someone like you... "
Dror was a little red on his face with embarrassment "hey ..Can you stop degrading me while giving advice... I will just trust you for now... "
Dror himself knew that the Evil sword was very knowledgeable about these things, he had inquired about the fruit that he had eaten when he was still on the five mountains.
But the Evil sword has asked for an exorbitant sum of money to give an explanation, form which the miser easily shied away...
He was thinking of giving the money later, but then he thought further and came to a conclusion.
Even though the Evil sword was stinky and many other things, it would let him know if there was something important and he could always look for information from other sources and save a lot of money.
He tried out the mid tire mantra instantly and could feel the difference.
It was like when he meditated on the mantra, he could feel the abundant amount of earth essence in the surrounding and control it to be absorbed into his lower dantian.
The amount of Earth essence inside his lower dantian was increasing rapidly, but when he saw the amount of Ether warrior essence inside him was so low he had the urge to choose a mid tier cultivation mantra of Ether essence.
But he was not that dumb, he knew he could not dual cultivate for the time being.
More than 80% of his strength was based on Earth element related techniques and cultivating Earth essence was more profitable for Earth elemental technique.
Further, being an Earth elemental body gave him more advantage while cultivating Earth essence.
Unless he found a Top grade Ether essence cultivation mantra.
Which would mean, he would be able to absorb more Ether essence, which could more or less equal to an earth elemental body cultivating a mid tier Earth essence mantra.
But then also using Earth essence to cast an Earth elemental technique made it much stronger and easy.
After pondering on all these things he gave up on the idea of searching for Ether essence mantra for the time being and focused on choosing a Technique mantra.
