Nurturing Thought God Forging Technique

Nurturing Thought God Forging Technique

After understanding most of the market prices, Chen Mobai's mood was a little unsettled.

Only now did he learn that the things he had thought were merely ordinary goods could actually be worth so many Spirit Stones.

No wonder the cultivators of this world all put the matter of selling stolen goods right out in the open. Killing and arson brought a golden belt; he had merely picked up the packs of two ordinary Qi Cultivation Cultivators, and already had resources worth nearly fifty Spirit Stones.

Unfortunately, this time he had come ashore to South Stream Market only with the State of Mind of understanding the market and gathering information.

And because the Eastern Wasteland had already left him with the impression of being a lawless and cruel cultivation world, this time he had only brought those items that could be used for combat, such as the Needle Box obtained from the Flying Needle Sect disciple, the Hand Crossbow, and the old man's Short Blade.

Though he was a little reluctant, Magic Artifacts were only external things. How could they compare to exchanging them for Spirit Stones and turning them into cultivation realm improvements for himself?

However, Chen Mobai was cautious by nature, and did not rashly set up a stall to sell them.

He remembered very clearly that the Needle Box was a Magic Artifact of the Flying Needle Sect. According to this sect's disciple manual, it was also a force with Foundation Establishment Cultivators holding down the fort. Moreover, a Magic Artifact like the Needle Box was rare throughout the entire Eastern Wasteland. Once he ran into a Flying Needle Sect disciple, even with a mouth he would not be able to explain himself clearly, and they would definitely think that he, Chen Mobai, had killed someone to seize their treasure.

He still did not dare sell the Needle Box for the time being, but the Hand Crossbow and Short Blade were different.

He discovered that in the market, there were quite a few stalls selling these two things, especially the Hand Crossbow, which was very popular in the market for low-level Qi Cultivation Cultivators.

It was probably because cultivators below Qi Cultivation Third Layer could not block a single crossbow bolt.

This crossbow bolt was of course not the mundane kind with an iron head, but a specially made bolt enhanced with spells like Sharpness, Explosion, and Gale.

However, because crossbow bolts were not as convenient to carry as Talismans, their price was also much cheaper: ten taels of gold per bolt in the market.

Arrows were consumables, but crossbows were different. If one bought a good one, it could be used for a very long time.

The one Chen Mobai had obtained from the Flying Needle Sect disciple was of decent quality. It was foldable, not only convenient to carry, but also enhanced with Durability and Aim, making it hard to damage and accurate when fired.

After making another round of the major stalls, Chen Mobai confirmed the market price.

Five hundred taels of gold.

That Short Blade was completely worthless. Two taels of gold each. He saw that they were all used to trim fingernails on the go, and were usually thrown in as extras when Magic Artifacts were bought and sold.

After finishing his survey of the Magic Artifact market, seeing that the time was about right, he decided to head back first.

For caution's sake, Chen Mobai did not immediately sell the Black Water Technique and Hand Crossbow. The main reason was that something like gold was not very useful to him, and if he brought it back to the Immortal Sect and sold too much of it, it would also easily attract the attention of the market supervision department.

After all, the resources of the Immortal Sect were only so many, and gold mines were even under state control. If too much flowed into the market and caused price fluctuations, it would definitely draw attention.

Therefore, the best and safest method was to convert everything obtained from buying and selling into Spirit Stones that he could digest.

Before leaving, he also went around the stalls buying and selling pills, but there were fewer people on this side. He observed for a while and found that all the stall owners buying and selling pills had put up a sign: defective products handled by such-and-such Herbal Shop.

Basically no one said they had refined them themselves. It seemed the two worlds' attitudes toward pills were the same.

If it was not made by a well-known alchemist, basically no one dared eat it.

As for products with no name, no source, and no guarantee, that went without saying. Even when laid out for sale, they had to hang the sign of a major Herbal Shop, otherwise very few cultivators would ask about the price.

It seemed those few bottles of pills would be very hard to get rid of.

Chen Mobai thought of the spoils he had pressed into the bottom layer of his bedside cabinet, and could not help shaking his head.

After roughly understanding the situation, he no longer lingered. Taking advantage of the dusk, he turned and left South Stream Market.

At the entrance, he ran into that hemp-clothed youth again who had wanted to work as a guide to earn money. When the youth saw Chen Mobai, he lowered his head very humbly. That posture made Chen Mobai, who had originally wanted to greet him, freeze for a moment, then he could not help shaking his head and smiling.

"As expected, there was a reason we on Earth Origin Star smashed the Four Olds in ancient times. This kind of old feudal society is wrong."

But he was only an outsider, a mere minor cultivator at Qi Cultivation Level 6, and would not point fingers at the social environment someone else had grown up in for a lifetime.

Without saying a word, Chen Mobai walked out of the market's main gate and disappeared into the fog of the Array Formation.

There was an Array Formation outside this South Stream Market, but the power of this Array Formation had not been fully activated. It was only aimed at mortals, preventing them from drawing near.

On the road back, a sudden idea came to Chen Mobai.

If he did not go to the Water Mansion and click return to city, then would it still succeed?

He stopped, found a deserted valley, and took out his phone. Sure enough, in the Turtle Treasure Software, the return-to-city button was still lit up and protruding, able to be pressed.

In other words, within the Sky River Realm, he did not need to be confined to the Water Mansion. As long as the phone was on him, he could go home anytime, anywhere.

Then another question came. If the location for returning to the city changed, the next time he teleported over, would it be here? Or would it still be the Water Mansion? Chen Mobai thought for a while, but in the end, he still did not try it.

He returned to the Water Mansion.

However, when going home, a Spiritual Mechanism flashed through his mind, and he walked into the Side Hall.

This way, he could see where exactly he would be the next time he came over.

If he still appeared in the main hall, then it would mean the teleportation location was locked. If he appeared in the Side Hall, then wherever he was when he returned to the city was where he would teleport back to.

Amid flickering Silver Light, Chen Mobai returned home.

He felt that his logical thinking about teleportation and returning to the city seemed to have missed something, but after thinking and thinking, he still could not figure out what he had missed, so he could only shake his head and give up for the time being.

He checked the time on his phone. It was almost dinnertime.

His mother had already gone to work in the afternoon, so at night he had to cook for himself again.

But in any case, he was already used to it.

While cooking Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai took his phone and logged into his Big Account Azure Emperor at the National Library.

He used Points to download the "Nurturing Thought God Forging Technique."

Although he was very interested in a fitness-style Spiritual Sense cultivation method and also wanted to try it, there was nothing he could do. He could not buy Second Grade Incense of Thought, and Big Account Azure Emperor also could not exchange for the "Spirit-Stirring Heaven-Wandering Technique," so he could only take the orthodox route.

But this was also fine. The Spiritual Sense cultivated this way would be perfectly rounded, and there would be no need to burn incense every day to stabilize it.

Taking advantage of the time spent cooking, Chen Mobai read through the "Nurturing Thought God Forging Technique" once, then compared it with the insights uploaded by experts on the Auxiliary Cultivation Software, and had roughly understood it.

However, even with the experience of predecessors, he still cultivated it with great difficulty.

To nurture thought, one first had to "enter meditation," and after entering meditation, one then needed to "visualize."

This visualization could be Heaven and Earth All Things, anything at all, but according to the experience of predecessors, it was best to be an image that matched one's own State of Mind.

This image should preferably be very powerful, yet it could not be very shocking. The wording was extremely contradictory.

Fortunately, there was a detailed explanation on the Auxiliary Cultivation Software: visualizing powerful things could allow a cultivator's thoughts to grow rapidly; but if it was too shocking, it would cause fluctuations of the mind and spirit, violent rises and falls of emotion, and would instead do harm without benefit.

Therefore, when a cultivator visualized, he had to grasp that degree himself.

Chen Mobai compared it against his own experiences, scratched his scalp, and finally thought of that "Jade Wutong" he had seen this morning.
