Palm Thunder

Lei Tianyu gazed at Kou Chang with gentle eyes.

"Junior Sister Kou, is there anything else you want to buy?" Lei Tianyu asked softly, as if afraid that if he raised his voice, he would leave a bad impression on Kou Chang.

Kou Chang said crisply.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lei, but no need. I already feel bad that you've spent over a thousand Spirit Stone on me today. I'll definitely pay you back as soon as I have the Spirit Stone. Also, I'll pay you back the thirteen thousand two hundred and twenty-one Spirit Stone I owed you before."

Lei Tianyu waved his hands repeatedly and hurriedly said, "Junior Sister Kou, you're being too polite. With our friendship, a mere ten thousand Spirit Stone is nothing."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Kou Chang mounted the Azure Bull and prepared to leave.

Lei Tianyu suddenly said loudly, "Junior Sister Kou, in six months, there will be three Foundation Establishment at the market auction. I will definitely bid for one for you to help you Foundation Establishment as soon as possible."

The Azure Bull was already several meters off the ground when Kou Chang abruptly stopped its ascent after hearing Lei Tianyu's words. She turned around with a radiant smile.

A single glance back, a smile that could launch a thousand ships!

"Really? Thank you so much, Senior Brother Lei. I have no way to repay your kindness."

Kou Chang seemed to suddenly realize something, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

Her pearly white teeth gently bit her red lips, her breath as soft as a mosquito's buzz, her head lowered shyly, as if she wanted to bury her beautiful face in her full breasts.

"If Senior Brother Lei can really buy the Foundation Establishment, I will agree to anything you ask."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kou Chang, like a celestial maiden, rode an ox and soared into the sky, quickly disappearing into the azure horizon.

Gazing at the horizon where Kou Chang had disappeared, Lei Tianyu reluctantly withdrew his gaze after a long while.

Then he mounted his sword and disappeared without a trace.

Song Wen strode deeper into the market, found a secluded corner, changed his appearance, and entered a Law Technique shop.

A huge plaque hangs above the entrance of the Law Technique shop, bearing the five large characters "Thunder Family Precious Techniques Pavilion".

The Law Technique shop covered an area of more than an acre, and there were more than a dozen pretty maids waiting for customers. These maids were not highly cultivated, and were all at the Early Qi Refinement Stage Refining.

"Senior, what would you like to buy?" A maid approached, flashing a practiced smile.

Song Wen was currently disguised as a Rogue Cultivator at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, since only cultivators at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer of Palm Thunder could cultivate the Palm Thunder technique.

"Do you have any Palm Thunder?"

The maid smiled and said, "The Lei Clan is renowned for its 'Thunder Method,' so naturally we sell Palm Thunder in our shop."

"How many Spirit Stones?"

"Fifty low-grade Spirit Stone."

Song Wen looked up at the maid, somewhat incredulous.

Why are Palm Thunder being sold so cheaply?!

Because there are relatively few people who can cultivate Thunder Method, the popularity of various Thunder Method is also low, unlike common techniques such as Flight Technique and Fireball Technique, which can be obtained everywhere.

The fact that the Lei Clan sold the 'Palm Thunder' so cheaply was quite unexpected for Song Wen.

After confirming that the other party had not made a mistake, Song Wen handed over fifty Spirit Stone and said.

"I'll have one."

"Alright, please wait a moment, senior." The maid took the Spirit Stone and replied sweetly, then turned and headed towards the counter in the middle of the shop.

A moment later, the maid came over with a Jade Slip and a soul contract.

"Senior, this is the Soul Contract. Please take a look. If there are no problems, establish the Soul Contract, and the transaction will be completed."

Song Wen took the soul contract, examined it carefully, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it; it was a standard soul contract commonly used in Cultivation Method shops.

He then took the Jade Slip, probed it with his Divine Sense, and confirmed that the Cultivation Method was also correct.

Song Wen made a soul pact and walked out of the shop amidst the respectful farewells of the maids.

Not far along, Song Wen's face gradually darkened.

The Jade Slip I just bought actually has the Divine Sense imprint of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

This made Song Wen's impression of the Lei Clan and these so-called righteous cultivators who ran shops even worse.

They even tampered with something that only cost fifty Spirit Stone; the Lei Clan is far too reckless.

Are they going to mark all the cultivators who buy Technique Method from their shop?

Song Wen wandered around the market for nearly an hour, making sure no one was following him, before quietly erasing the Divine Sense imprint on the Jade Slip.

He found a secluded spot, removed some of his disguise, reverted to his appearance as someone in his thirties, and headed home.

As Song Wen approached the courtyard gate and was about to push it open, a burly figure appeared in his peripheral vision.

"Master Zhang, we have some fresh Demon Beast meat. Would you like some?" the burly man said.

This burly man was Song Wen's next-door neighbor, named Sun Daxiong.

As his name suggests, this person was tall and strong, a body-refining cultivator at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, who made a living by hunting Demon Beast.

Sun Daxiong also has a daughter. Perhaps it was because his deceased dao companion was so handsome, but his daughter did not inherit his burly physique and rugged appearance at all. Instead, she has a delicate and charming appearance. At only seventeen years old, she has already grown into a beautiful young woman and is a well-known beauty on the street.

"What kind of Demon Beast meat?" Song Wen asked.

Song Wen wasn't interested in Demon Beast meat. He had already Grain Avoidance, and the occasional purchase of Demon Beast meat from Sun Daxiong was merely a cover.

The Essence Blood of Demon Beast are extremely abundant, generally stronger than those of cultivators of the same realm. However, for some reason, after being devoured by Song Wen's body, the Essence Blood transformed from them was less than half that of cultivators of the same realm, which made Song Wen lose interest in Demon Beast.

Seeing that Song Wen, though uninterested, did not directly refuse, Sun Daxiong immediately said...

"A spirit fox, comparable to Qi Refining Middle Stage spirit fox, costs only one Spirit Stone per pound of meat. Master Zhang, you absolutely cannot buy Qi Refining Middle Stage Demon Beast meat anywhere else for cheaper."

Upon hearing this, Song Wen couldn't help but think to himself, "Sure enough, whenever Sun Daxiong actively promotes Demon Beast meat, it's never anything good."

He sold the best Demon Beast meat to restaurants in the market at high prices.

The only valuable thing about a spirit fox is its fur. The flesh of a spirit fox is smelly and sour, and extremely unpalatable. Only those who really can't afford Demon Beast meat, but for some reason must consume large quantities of Demon Beast meat, will buy it, such as body-refining cultivators.

"I'm not buying it. I'm short on cash lately, and I can barely afford the rent."

Song Wen refused decisively, then pushed open the door, stepped inside, and slammed the courtyard gate shut without giving Sun Daxiong any face.

He wasn't short of Spirit Stone and didn't want to easily make enemies, but he couldn't resist Sun Daxiong treating him like a fool time and time again, trying to sell him some trashy Demon Beast meat.

Rejected by Song Wen, Sun Daxiong was not angry. Instead, he turned around and knocked on the gate of another neighbor's yard.

A spirit fox can weigh over twenty pounds of meat. His daughter couldn't stand the smell of spirit fox meat, and he himself was tired of eating it. Since no one in the market was buying it, he tried every means to recommend it to his neighbors. Even if it only sold for half Spirit Stone per pound, it would still be ten or so Spirit Stone, enough to pay a month's rent with some left over.

My daughter has a good talent for cultivation. Two months ago, she broke through to the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, and her need for Cultivation Resources is increasing.

A few days ago, my daughter said she wanted to try practicing Thunder Method, but unfortunately, I was short of money at the time and couldn't afford to buy her a palm Palm Thunder.

However, this time, they hunted a pure white spirit fox, and its fur was completely intact, finally raising enough Spirit Stone to buy their daughter the Palm Thunder.

Behind Sun Daxiong, the gate to his courtyard suddenly opened, revealing a youthful and handsome face.

Watching her father go around trying to sell fox meat to the neighbors, Sun Ru shook her head helplessly.

Fox meat is notoriously unpalatable and expensive; who would buy it?

Only Zhang Fushi next door, when he first arrived, didn't know the situation and was tricked twice by his own father.
