The wood-and-fire Azure Yang Art stirred his interest as he read it. It was a completely unexpected windfall.
High-grade cultivation methods were hardly common wares. Within the Sects, unless a master or elder bestowed one, obtaining such a method required risking life and limb for the Sects and earning sufficient merit. Even then, one's background had to be investigated and found clean, and vicious oaths sworn, before it might be granted.
