Primordial Acquired Dao Body

Li Mo felt a slight pang of heartache. Before he had even warmed the mid-grade Spirit Stones in his hands, he had handed them over again. Sure enough, opening a shop was the most profitable business; no matter which way it went, there was no loss.

"Pills suitable for the Childhood Stage."

As Wang Sheng spoke, he kept pulling open drawers from all over his body. One could vaguely glimpse a dazzling array of resources hidden within him.

"There are three kinds in total. Taking the Corpse Brain Pill can accelerate the Spiritual Root Transformation of the internal organs, but it will erode the brain and must be paired with Spirit Awakening Soup."

"Jade Elixir can help refine spiritual power."

"The Spirit Guiding Pill increases the efficiency of absorbing external spiritual energy for a short time."

"Found them."

Wang Sheng took out a bottle of each pill. The pills came in different colors and looked exceedingly bizarre. They were all translucent, with a fingernail-sized worm at their center.

Li Mo's scalp tingled.

After seven thousand years, what the hell had alchemy developed into?

Li Mo could not help asking, "Does Yi Bao Pavilion have a Dharma Gate for alchemy?"

Wang Sheng replied, "The Daoist Orthodoxy inheritance of alchemy is relatively rare. Yi Bao Pavilion merely cooperates with a few alchemists."

Li Mo nodded slightly and bought four Spirit Guiding Pills, four Corpse Brain Pills, and one serving of Spirit Awakening Soup.

Perhaps rare things were precious. Pills for the Childhood Stage were actually priced in mid-grade Spirit Stones. Probably few Childhood Stage cultivators could afford them.

Just as Li Mo was filling in the gaps, Jiang Xin'an hurriedly delivered the Spirit Stones.

Jiang Xin'an knocked before entering the private room, carrying a brand-new Storage Bag. "The sinister beast was valued at one hundred eighty-nine mid-grade Spirit Stones. There is also a medical book here. Senior Han asked me to bring it to you."

"Thank you, Elder Jiang."

Li Mo nodded helplessly.

It seemed Jiang Xin'an had gone to verify things with Han Cai. Fortunately, Doctor Han had not exposed him. Otherwise, the price of the Bizarre Beast Corpse would have been discounted.

Li Mo discovered that, aside from the mid-grade Spirit Stones, the gifted Storage Bag also contained a Medical Bone Scroll and Jiang Xin'an's unique Spirit Tablet.

"If you need anything, come find me at Yi Bao Pavilion."

Li Mo agreed on the surface, but he had no intention of dealing with Yi Bao Pavilion under Han Cai's name. After all, debts had to be repaid sooner or later.

Jiang Xin'an then turned and left.

"Does Yi Bao Pavilion have any Spells suitable for Childhood Stage cultivation?"

Li Mo added, "Exclude Spells with severe drawbacks or incomplete content."

Wang Sheng thought for a moment before answering, "There are thirty-six Spells in total. Thirteen meet your requirements, honored guest."

He opened the drawer on his forehead. Li Mo accepted the Bone Scroll smeared with brain matter, wiped it clean with the rag on the table, and placed it against his forehead.

Perhaps Yi Bao Pavilion was not a shop that specialized in selling Spells.

After reading through them, Li Mo was not particularly satisfied. It was not merely because the Spells required altering the body; the main issue was that they consumed far too many resources.

Because Spells were closely tied to the Heart Beast Sect.

They all involved bestializing organs and raising Spirit Beasts within the body.

With the Spirit Stones Li Mo currently possessed, supporting his own cultivation along with Paint Green Clothes was already extremely strenuous. There was no need to add another burden.

"What about cultivation methods?"

"Yi Bao Pavilion does not sell cultivation methods. Cultivation methods are all reserved as the grand finale of Auctions."

"So that was it."

Li Mo was not surprised. Even in ancient times, Immortal Sects would secretly support rogue cultivator black markets, auctioning off resources of unknown origin.

He asked for the auction's exact schedule and learned that the next one would be at least ten years away.

Naturally, Li Mo hoped the auction would come as late as possible. Given the growth potential of his Divine Ability, the Spirit Stone output at the Coming-of-Age Stage would probably only barely suffice.

He then bought a pile of low-grade artifact-refining materials. With the resources he had purchased, he could already return to the inn and cultivate in seclusion.

Wang Sheng led Li Mo to Yi Bao Pavilion's side entrance, avoiding the hidden watchful eyes.

Following a remote, narrow alley, Li Mo arrived at the shop selling Spells, Spell Hall.

Spell Hall was clearly inferior to Yi Bao Pavilion. Its interior decoration was no different from an ordinary bookstore, with paper books filling the shelves. They contained summaries of portions of various Spells.

Li Mo opened a book, and the first page contained Spell Hall's explanation.

Spell Hall guaranteed that there would not be a large number of copies of the same Spell circulating on the market, preventing the prices of the corresponding cultivation resources from soaring.

Li Mo examined the books one by one and noticed that the Spells in the shop were truly everywhere under the sun.

Nearly all of them could not escape the limitations of bestializing the limbs. They would inevitably affect the use of Universal Skill, making them somewhat not worth the loss.

The superior Spell inheritances were probably all in Smelting Town.

Only through comparison could the profound wonder of Paint Green Clothes be revealed. After all, it could allow the skin to contain Seven Tattooed Beasts; its potential was self-evident.

Li Mo shook his head slightly in disappointment and flipped through every book as though going through the motions.

A few of the Spells did tempt Li Mo somewhat, but unfortunately, their cultivation steps were incomplete.

That did not matter to rogue cultivators, but it would still affect the power of the Spells to some extent.

The Great Vast Fortune and Longevity Scripture used thirty-six animal vertebrae to replace one's own spine.

The Golden Book Jade Talisman Diagram altered the distribution of blood vessels within the body to strengthen the physique.

The Great Micro Long World Scripture filled flesh and blood with Taisui flesh, granting the ability to heal oneself.

Quite a few low-level rogue cultivators in the shop were doing similar things, attempting to glimpse the Spells through incomplete content, drawing looks of disdain from the shop assistant.

"Hm?"

Li Mo suddenly noticed a very unusual Spell. Though it lacked the most crucial cultivation steps, it was of great use to him.

First, he could be certain that this Spell had definitely not been passed down by the Heart Beast Sect.

Li Mo picked up the Golden Book Jade Talisman Diagram as well. After paying twenty-seven mid-grade Spirit Stones, he walked out of the shop beneath the shop assistant's astonished gaze.

The Golden Book Jade Talisman Diagram was good to have just in case. If he ever needed to use the Book of Fortune to inscribe blood vessels in the future, it might come in handy.

The type of Spells he chose was completely different from the mainstream preferences of rogue cultivators in the black market.

Rogue cultivators only looked at the benefits Spells could bring them, so they never considered the drawbacks, even if it pushed their bodies to the brink of collapse.

After returning to Tushan Inn, Li Mo eagerly began studying that incomplete Spell.

Primordial Acquired Dao Body

Once mastered, the Primordial Acquired Dao Body could make one's physique compatible with one's own spiritual power. Not only would cultivation yield twice the result with half the effort, but when using other Spells, their power would increase by at least thirty percent.

However, the Primordial Acquired Dao Body would cause spiritual power to gain an uncontrollable corrosiveness, affecting everything around the user like radiation.

Moreover, it lacked the entry-level steps, making mastery almost impossible.

Li Mo's expression turned puzzled. He could not help reading it word by word, line by line, always feeling that there was something indescribably wrong with the Primordial Acquired Dao Body.

The Spell's contents in the Bone Scroll were incomparably coherent, with no missing portions apparent, as though the Spell had lacked entry-level steps from the moment it was created.

Combining it with the memories he had drawn from the Book of Fortune, Li Mo quickly reached a conclusion.

It seemed that cultivators capable of mastering the Primordial Acquired Dao Body were born with physiques naturally compatible with it, allowing them to skip the entry level directly.

"Why does it feel like..."

Li Mo hurriedly took out the Artifact Refining Method. Excitement appeared in his eyes as he suddenly realized that there might be a fortunate opportunity for him within it.

"No rush, no rush. I'll break through to Childhood Stage Layer 3 first."

He knew his idea required cultivation as support. He also needed to master a certain degree of artifact-refining skill before he could be confident of making it happen.
