Sales pitches like "I don't sell this to just anyone" and "a rare item from my private collection" wouldn't have fooled even old men and women in Gao Xian's time.
The boss's sleazy appearance made Gao Xian trust him even less.
"Could I take a look first?" Gao Xian asked.
The boss pulled a yellowed booklet from his robes and handed it to Gao Xian. "This copy of the Dongbin Secret Essentials is a genuine treasure that came out of the Joyous Union Sect. Learn even one or two of the spells inside, and you'll be able to roam freely among the flowers..."
Gao Xian took the booklet and flipped through it. It really did contain several Yellow-Red Methods.
The Yellow-Red Methods were ways of cultivating through the union of yin and yang. But low-level cultivators couldn't begin to appreciate the wonders of dual cultivation.
The Yellow-Red Methods had gradually degenerated into second-rate techniques for flirting and enhancing sexual pleasure.
Gao Xian had the Wind and Moon Mirror and the Humanity Aura. He thought the Yellow-Red Arts might be useful to him.
At the very least, he could put some points into them and see if he could make anything unusual out of them.
"How much?" Gao Xian asked.
He wasn't sure whether the spells worked, but there was no reason to forge something like these low-level Yellow-Red Methods.
"This is a secret art that came out of the Joyous Union Sect. Ten Spirit Stones is as low as I can—"
Before the boss could finish, Gao Xian had already stuffed the Dongbin Secret Essentials back into his hands.
Seeing Gao Xian turn to leave, the boss hurriedly stopped him. "What's the rush, fellow cultivator? I'll give you a discount. How about eight Spirit Stones?"
"Two Spirit Stones."
