Conspiracy, Sword Dao Inheritance

"Because this inheritance is incomplete, missing rather important content, and without that important content, it's generally very difficult to break through bottlenecks, so it can only be considered an inheritance for the peak Qi Refining stage at most."

Liu Yuanping explained patiently, "If that weren't the case, I would have taken it out to cultivate and use it long ago when I first obtained this inheritance."

When they accidentally obtained this inheritance, it was already incomplete. Although its power was immense, without that crucial part, it would be basically impossible to break through bottlenecks and reach the Foundation Establishment realm in the future.

It was precisely because of this that this Sword Dao inheritance could only be sold cheaply within the Greenwood Sect.

After all, those within the Greenwood Sect who could afford so many spirit stones, or those aiming to break through to higher realms and increase their strength, were basically focused on reaching the Foundation Establishment realm.

With such a significant flaw, who within the Greenwood Sect would spend thousands of low-grade spirit stones to purchase it?

Only those rogue cultivators outside the Greenwood Sect, without any backing or inheritance, would be willing to spend those spirit stones.

Upon hearing Liu Yuanping's explanation, Zhao Huaian suddenly understood.

No wonder. He had been wondering why Liu Yuanping and Liu Bohu insisted on selling it at an auction among rogue cultivators. It turned out to be for this reason.

However, with an extremely difficult bottleneck to break through...

Zhao Huaian's thoughts immediately turned to the attribute heavenly book in his mind.

Under the attribute heavenly book, any cultivation technique he practiced would be converted into proficiency.

There were no bottlenecks for either his cultivation or the techniques he practiced; accumulating enough proficiency would allow him to break through on his own.

For a moment, Zhao Huaian felt tempted.

He looked at Lin Yuanping, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "Can I take a look at the Sword Dao inheritance that Senior Brother Liu obtained?"

"Of course, there's no harm in letting you see it. I'm going to have Bohu take it out to sell later anyway."

Liu Yuanping nodded and took out a jade slip from his storage bag.

"Junior Brother Zhao, this contains the Sword Dao inheritance from that Foundation Establishment cultivator. There's a simple introduction at the beginning. If you unseal it after use, the inheritance will immediately shatter, so be careful."

Liu Yuanping cautioned him with concern.

As for Zhao Huaian wanting to see the inheritance, he didn't suspect anything. He merely thought the young man was curious.

Zhao Huaian nodded, channeled a trace of spiritual energy into it, and carefully examined the part of the jade slip that was not sealed, the simple introduction.

After a long while, he released his hand from the jade slip, his heart filled with surprise and joy.

This Sword Dao inheritance left by the Foundation Establishment cultivator was indeed a good item. If absorbed and cultivated, it could be practiced up to the peak Qi Refining stage, and the spiritual energy and sword energy cultivated would be extremely powerful.

Of course, the only regret was that it was missing the most crucial part regarding breaking through bottlenecks, making it extremely difficult to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm later on, requiring one to explore on their own.

However, as long as the content of other techniques was complete, the absence of the bottleneck-breaking content did not matter to Zhao Huaian.

Because he had the attribute heavenly book.

Thinking of the power contained within this Sword Dao inheritance, and thinking of the attribute heavenly book, Zhao Huaian gritted his teeth and decided to obtain this Sword Dao inheritance.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Huaian tentatively asked, "Senior Brother Liu, how much spirit stone did you ask for this Sword Dao inheritance last time?"

"I inquired at the Myriad Treasure Pavilion in Greenwood Market last time, and they were willing to buy it for just over six hundred low-grade spirit stones at most."

Liu Yuanping answered truthfully.

After speaking, he shook his head regretfully, "Now that the news of my injury has probably spread, if I try to sell it now, the price will definitely be heavily suppressed. Getting five hundred low-grade spirit stones would be considered the best."

"I have a friend!"

Zhao Huaian thought for a moment and said, "When I was on a mission before, I made a friend who is a rogue cultivator. He's a sword cultivator. Although he's not very wealthy, he could afford six hundred low-grade spirit stones for such an inheritance."

Zhao Huaian fabricated a friend.

Liu Yuanping didn't suspect anything. Instead, he looked at Zhao Huaian with surprise and joy, "Really? If that's the case, then we don't have to sell it to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion."

"Of course, he saved my life once, and I also helped him using my identity within the Greenwood Sect. Our relationship is extremely close, so it's naturally true."

Zhao Huaian nodded with a poker face, speaking his words as they came.

"That's great. In that case, I'll have Bohu go with you, and then you can sell this Sword Dao inheritance to him."

Liu Yuanping said happily.

Being able to recover the loss of a hundred low-grade spirit stones was naturally excellent.

"That won't be necessary. I can go find him in advance."

"After all, many outer disciples of the Greenwood Sect know that Brother Liu is your clansman. If he ventures out rashly now, there might be ill-intentioned people eyeing him."

"Therefore, the safest method now is for me to go find him in advance and have him meet for the transaction not far from the Greenwood Sect's outer gate."

"This way, Brother Liu's safety and the security of the transaction will also be guaranteed to a certain extent."

Zhao Huaian shook his head, speaking with concern for Liu Bohu.

Hearing Zhao Huaian's words, Liu Yuanping, lying on the bed, nodded in agreement.

He had been in the Greenwood Sect for over ten years and naturally knew that some outer disciples were extremely sinister, specifically targeting disciples who were alone and carried abundant spirit stones.

As soon as these lone disciples carrying many spirit stones left the outer sect, they would follow like rabid dogs and hunt and rob them in uninhabited places.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Yuanping said with relief, "Junior Brother Zhao's plan is indeed more prudent. I'll trouble you with this, Junior Brother Zhao."

"It's no trouble, Brother Liu has helped me quite a bit before."

Zhao Huaian smiled, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as no one followed him, everything would be easy to handle.

"Alright, I'll need about three days. I'll first use my methods to help Senior Brother Liu stabilize the toxins in his body. Once we buy an antidote pill, we can completely eradicate them."

Taking out silver needles, Zhao Huaian infused them with spiritual energy and quickly inserted them into Liu Yuanping's body.

Following Zhao Huaian's swift and precise movements, dozens of acupoints on Liu Yuanping's body were soon covered in a dense array of silver needles.

After finishing, Zhao Huaian stood up and instructed Liu Bohu, who was beside him, "Remember, don't touch these needles. You must wait for me to return first, otherwise the toxins in his body will be difficult to suppress."

"Yes, Brother Zhao!"

Liu Bohu nodded heavily, giving Zhao Huaian a grateful look.

After a final check, Zhao Huaian left Liu Bohu's room and headed towards the outer sect.

The next day, early morning.

A scarred man in a black robe calmly entered the Greenwood Sect and, as if familiar with the place, set up a stall in the Greenwood Market to sell his wares.

This person was none other than Zhao Huaian.

Last night, to be safe and avoid suspicion from Liu Bohu and Liu Yuanping, he had indeed left the Greenwood Sect.

After leaving, he found a secluded spot and spent the entire night drawing Water Arrow Talismans.

Only when the roosters crowed and the sky began to lighten did he change his appearance and return to the Greenwood Sect, setting up his stall in the Greenwood Market.

He had already decided that within these three days, he would earn six hundred low-grade spirit stones, and then disguise himself as a rogue cultivator to purchase that Foundation Establishment cultivator's Sword Dao inheritance from Liu Bohu.

Currently, the fastest way to earn spirit stones was by selling at a stall.

As for Cheng Daqi...

Zhao Huaian didn't hold out much hope for now, as he had only purchased three hundred low-grade spirit stones worth of spirit talismans from him yesterday.
