However, as Yang Daqiang had mentioned before, when Wang Mengde was only at the Third Layer of Qi Refinement, he had already cultivated the Spirit Eye Technique and the Entwining Silk Technique to the Peak Mastery.

Third Layer of Qi Refinement Refining, Peak Mastery.

Putting these two words together is practically a fantasy in the world of cultivation.

But these words came from Yang Daqiang, and more than one person said it.

This demonstrates that Wang Mengde's understanding and comprehension of Law Technique far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Looking at Wang Mengde's confident and composed demeanor, Zhao Hongying's opinion of him rose even higher.

This person never speaks or acts without a purpose.

He said if he could do it, he was definitely confident.

"That's right, Mastery." Wang Mengde repeated, his tone certain.

Zhao Hongying lowered her eyes, her fingers tapping lightly on the table as she quickly began to think.

This deal was also very worthwhile for her.

The market price for Seven-Pattern Spirit-Nurturing Pill is 600 Spirit Stone. She bought it at a price 100 Spirit Stone higher than the market price, which is 700 Spirit Stone per pill. She was certain she could get the pill.

Wang Mengde gave her 800 Spirit Stone each, and she could earn a profit of 100 Spirit Stone per stone. Ten stones would be worth 1,000 Spirit Stone.

Moreover, Wang Mengde could teach her the experience of the Spirit Eye Technique. Two experiences might actually help her break through to the Mastery level.

It's a great deal.

"Okay." Zhao Hongying nodded, "However, these Seven-Pattern Spirit-Nurturing Pills are very rare and not easy to obtain. I need some time; ten pills would take at least two or three months."

Wang Mengde said, "No problem, you can give me them one by one."

The Seven-Pattern Spirit-Nurturing Pill also has drug resistance; its efficacy will be greatly reduced if taken continuously. It needs to be taken at least once a month to fully exert its effects.

Zhao Hongying nodded, then looked at Wang Mengde: "Okay, but since the quantity is quite large, you'll need to pay a deposit in advance."

O

"Alright." Wang Mengde nodded, then put down his teacup, his expression becoming serious. "I, Wang Mengde, hereby swear that as long as Fellow Daoist Zhao Hongying purchases ten Seven-Pattern Spirit-Nurturing Pills for me, I will do my utmost to impart my experience in the Spirit Eye Technique to her. If I break this oath, my cultivation will not advance an inch, and I will be plagued by inner demons."

As he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Hongying.

Zhao Hongying quickly understood what he meant.

This person is meticulous in everything he does; having made his own oath, he naturally expects her to make one as well.

Without hesitation, she pointed her fingers like a sword and declared, "I, Zhao Hongying, hereby swear that I will purchase ten Seven-Pattern Spirit-Nurturing Pills for Fellow Daoist Wang Mengde, and I absolutely guarantee that the pills are genuine. I will also not disclose this matter to any third party."

If one breaks the oath, one's cultivation will not progress at all, and one will be plagued by inner demons.

After seeing the other person finish making the oath.

Wang Mengde then counted out two thousand Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag and pushed them in front of Zhao Hongying.

"Deposit."

Zhao Hongying put the Spirit Stone into her Storage Bag. Holding her teacup, she glanced at Wang Mengde's face and suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist Wang, do you know Water Escape Technique?"

Wang Mengde raised his head, looked at Zhao Hongying, and his gaze froze slightly for a moment.

Almost all the cultivators who knew about his Water Escape Technique were killed by him.

However, on the day he captured the Blood-Spirit Flying Shuttle, he submerged into the water and escaped at top speed, Tie Li definitely saw.

Now that Tie Li has seen it, it's no longer a secret.

If it's not a secret, then there's no need to hide it.

Zhao Hongying felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and quickly explained, "I know that it is a big taboo to rashly inquire about the Law Technique that cultivators practice."

However, I meant no harm. I just felt that my Water Escape Technique had reached a plateau after Minor Accomplishment, and I was hoping to receive some guidance from you.

She paused, then added, "If you can give me some pointers, I'll pay you."

Upon hearing the word "reward," Wang Mengde's eyes lit up slightly, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

That smile was sincere and warm, a stark contrast to his indifferent demeanor just moments before.

"It's still the price of the Spirit Eye Technique," he said.

Zhao Hongying paused slightly, then looked at Wang Mengde with some disbelief. "Your Water Escape Technique has also Peak Mastery?"

Wang Mengde did not answer directly, but simply said, "Don't tell anyone. I don't want to be too high-profile."

Zhao Hongying paused for a moment, then nodded.

"I absolutely will not tell anyone."

She verbally agreed, but inwardly she was in turmoil.

She was just asking casually, but she never expected that Wang Mengde had actually cultivated the Water Escape Technique to Peak Mastery.

Just how high is this person's aptitude for Law Technique?

His Spirit Eye Technique Peak Mastery, his Entwining Silk Technique Peak Mastery, and his Water Escape Technique Peak Mastery.

Is this the good-for-nothing Qingxue was talking about?

It seems Qingxue doesn't know this person well.

This person has such terrifying talent; by earning a large amount of Spirit Stone to buy pills, he may very well have a chance to Foundation Establishment in the future.

After Foundation Establishment, if one cultivates a few more powerful Earth-rank Law Technique, their combat strength will undoubtedly be exceptionally terrifying.

But then, Zhao Hongying gently shook her head, suppressing her thoughts.

Cultivating as a cultivator with Five-Element Spirit Root is incredibly difficult.

Spiritual energy accumulation is slow, and the most difficult part is breaking through the bottleneck.

Breaking through the bottleneck is much more difficult for cultivators with Five-Element Spirit Root than for those with Three-Element Spirit Root or Four-Element Spirit Root.

Just like Yang Daqiang from Rosy Cloud Island, he refined two Profound-Penetrating Barrier-Breaking Pills, each costing seven thousand Spirit Stone, but still failed to break through to the Seventh-Level Qi Refinement.

Wang Mengde is already over thirty years old, and he is only at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement Refining. It is unknown when he will be able to break through to the Seventh-Level Qi Refinement.

It's unknown when or how long it will take to break through to the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement, Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement, or Peak Qi Refinement Refining.

If one cannot advance to the Peak Qi Refinement before the age of sixty, the hope of reaching Foundation Establishment is extremely slim.

However, she didn't say these words aloud; she just sighed inwardly.

"Do you know any other Law Technique?" Zhao Hongying couldn't help but ask.

Wang Mengde glanced at her, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and slowly uttered four words: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, keep it a secret."

Looking at his pretentious demeanor, Zhao Hongying felt an overwhelming sense of curiosity.

She wanted to know just how many Law Technique this person had mastered, and how he had managed to cultivate them all to such a high level.

"By the way, the fishing season in the Shattered Star Archipelago has been pretty good lately. Anyone interested in going fishing and beachcombing together?"

Zhao Hongying changed the subject, speaking casually, "The sea over there is deep, and there are many big fish. With your Spirit Eye Technique, if we act together, we're sure to have a great harvest."

Wang Mengde shook his head, refusing decisively. "I'm not going."

The Shattered Star Archipelago are still too dangerous for him right now.

Not only are high-level Demon Fish appearing over there, but Bandit Cultivator are also frequently active.

For a rogue Rogue Cultivator at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement of Qi Refining to rush over there would be no different from suicide.

First, improve your strength.

It's not too late to go when we're stronger in the future.

However, he can't completely block the road.

"If it's an operation like the one we did last time to capture the Blood-Spirit Flying Shuttle, which has a very low risk factor, you can come to me," Wang Mengde added. "If it's something with a slightly higher risk factor, then forget it."
