Chen Wang suddenly had an idea and looked at Jiang Ning, asking, "Do you have any Soul Enhancement Pill?"

Jiang Ning was taken aback, then shook his head. "No, the main hall might have some, but this kind of pill is extremely rare."

Chen Wang nodded and continued to ask, "Are there any Law Artifact specifically designed to protect the soul?"

Jiang Ning pondered for a moment and said, "There is Mid-Grade Magic Tool, the Purifying Heart Banner, which can calm the mind and soul. In addition, there is the Spirit Concentration Jade Pendant, which can be worn during meditation to avoid distracting thoughts and also protect the mind and soul."

Chen Wang shook his head. "Isn't there anything better?"

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said softly, "No, these two are also auxiliary Law Artifact, not pure soul defense magic Law Artifact."

These two Law Artifact offer some degree of protection.

It's more about focusing the Jing Xin, as can be seen from the name itself.

Chen Wang only had this idea after witnessing the old man's Wind Pouch; at this moment, he was focused on the Little Yellow Dragon Pill.

"Do you have Little Yellow Dragon Pill in stock right now?"

Jiang Ning nodded. "Yes, this item is expensive, and there are only four bottles left. They were just delivered."

Jiang Ning then told Chen Wang some details about the Yellow Dragon Pill. Chen Wang nodded upon hearing this. "This pill sounds pretty good, but before that, I need to sell a Demon Beast."

"Oh?"

Jiang Ning asked, "What kind of Demon Beast?"

The last time Chen Wang gained Steward Wang's attention was because of the Crimson Flame Porcupine that Chen Wang brought.

It was an extremely difficult-to-hunt Demon Beast, its entire body a treasure.

Jiang Ning was a little curious at this moment.

Chen Wang said calmly, "The Three-Tailed Demon Ox."

"Huh?" Jiang Ning let out a soft exclamation, repeating, "Three-Tailed Demon Ox?"

She asked Chen Wang to confirm, "Is it a cow horn or something?"

Chen Wang said calmly, "It's the whole Three-Tailed Demon Ox, well, to be precise, it's missing ten catties of meat."

Ten pounds of beef had been transformed into braised beef and stewed beef, and ended up in Chen Wang's stomach.

Jiang Ning clenched his fist slightly in his sleeve, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Alright, then please wait here for a moment, I will invite the steward over."

Jiang Ning was somewhat excited; working with Chen Wang as a client had kept her sales performance consistently high.

Soon, the middle-aged man that Chen Wang had met before came over. Upon seeing Chen Wang, he clasped his hands in a fist and bow, saying, "Fellow Daoist Chen, we meet again."

The man's clothes were well-tailored, and his beard and eyebrows were neatly trimmed, indicating that he paid great attention to his appearance.

After taking his seat, he smiled and said, "Jiang Ning already told me that you have Demon Beast for sale, a Three-Tailed Demon Ox, is that right?"

Chen Wang nodded. "That's right."

He then followed the middle-aged man to the courtyard, where they retrieved the carcass of the Three-Tailed Demon Ox. The Three-Tailed Demon Ox was enormous, with tough hide, sharp and hard horns, and its bones, blood, and beef were all excellent spiritual treasures.

After all, this is a Demon Beast comparable to the Late-Stage Qi Refining, making it extremely difficult to capture.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. After examining the demon bull, he discovered that its fatal wound was in its vital area, its genitals.

"Sharp!"

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but suddenly felt a chill down his groin.

After inspecting the animal, he estimated the price and gave Chen Wang a quote that was more than three times more expensive than the previous Crimson Flame Porcupine.

"Fellow Daoist Chen trusts our Hundred Treasures Pavilion and is a long-time customer of ours, so I will definitely be fair in terms of price."

The middle-aged man said with a smile, while Jiang Ning respectfully poured tea for the two of them.

Chen Wang nodded and said, "I wonder if the Hundred Treasures Pavilion has any good Qi Refining stage cultivation Cultivation Method now."

The Red Cloud Qi Refining Art he cultivated was just a basic technique, resulting in a slower rate of absorbing Spiritual Qi.

Moreover, the output of Law Power is slow when fighting against others.

Now that Chen Wang has mastered several Law Artifacts, he felt this problem and had the idea of changing his Cultivation Method.

The middle-aged man asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you wish to change your cultivation Cultivation Method?"

Chen Wang nodded without trying to hide anything.

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and then said, "What kind of person do you want, fellow Daoist? I can recommend one."

There are some things that cultivators can't say openly.

What he actually wanted to ask was what kind of Spirit Root Chen Wang had—which of the five elements (metal, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, earth) or some other less common Spirit Root?

That's already a rather tactful way of putting it.

Chen Wang didn't hold back at all; he wasn't some kind of exceptionally talented person.

"It's fire-related, isn't it?"

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "If you're into fire, there's a Profound Fire True Art that's quite suitable. It's a good Cultivation Method for the Qi Refining stage. This Cultivation Method has the potential to cultivate the Shaoyang Profound Fire, which is extremely strong and yang."

The name sounds impressive but is actually quite mysterious.

Chen Wang asked, "How much?"

The middle-aged man transmitted his voice, saying, "Fellow Daoist is a regular customer. Cultivation Method are much more expensive than Law Technique. They are the foundation of cultivation. If you want this Cultivation Method, it will cost eighty Spirit Stone."

The Cultivation Method used during the Qi Refining stage are also divided into good and bad, and into three levels: superior, middle and inferior.

This Profound Fire True Art is a first-class Qi Refining stage cultivation Cultivation Method.

Law Power also has special attributes, and its output is rapid, as is its absorption of Spiritual Qi.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Wang finally decided to change his Cultivation Method.

His current cultivation level is Qi Refining Stage 5. Changing his Cultivation Method will take a little longer, as he needs to relearn some of the energy pathways, acupoints, and circulation of Qi throughout his Cultivation Method.

However, in the long run, it is definitely more valuable to change the Cultivation Method. Of course, there is no need to start from scratch, since the cultivation level is already there. It is enough to transform some of the Law Power and change some of the circulation routes.

Finally, Chen Wang traded the Three-Tailed Demon Ox he had hunted for four bottles of Little Yellow Dragon Pill and a high-grade Qi cultivation Cultivation Method, the Profound Fire True Art. Satisfied, he left the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. The price was reasonable for both parties. Of course, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion had indeed given Chen Wang a real discount.

The middle-aged man surnamed Wang also hoped that Chen Wang could patronize his business more often.

They preferred to associate with monks who had long-term purchasing power and whose relationships were mutually beneficial.

After Chen Wang left, Steward Wang summoned Jiang Ning and asked, "Who received Fellow Daoist Chen last time?"

"Wang Qing".

"Did you later ask Wang Qing if she was satisfied with Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Jiang Ning blushed and said softly, "It should be satisfactory."

Steward Wang raised an eyebrow. "Should I?"

Jiang Ning recalled how Wang Qing had been so exhausted last time that she couldn't even lift her arms, appearing extremely weak.

"That's right, Wang Qing was so tired last time that she couldn't even lift her hands."

Her voice was very soft, but when Steward Wang heard it, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. "Young people Blood Qi, that's natural. After you finish your business next time, give Fellow Daoist Chen a proper welcome."

"Find a few more and let Fellow Daoist Chen choose."

Steward Wang was quite pleased with the deal and got up to leave.

"If we had more people like Fellow Daoist Chen, we could boost our performance and hopefully be transferred away from here sooner rather than later. I always feel uneasy about the Red Cloud Sect."

Steward Wang thought to himself.
