In the early morning of the day after the opening of the conference, Qin Tiexin arrived at his booth in the trading area as soon as it was dawn.
When we arrived at the trading area, there were already a lot of people. People were coming and going in the aisles between the stalls. Some were bargaining, and some were squatting on the ground looking through the goods. Occasionally, you could hear one or two thank yous after the transaction. The air was mixed with the smell of leather, metal and ointment.
He took out a piece of coarse cloth from the storage ring and spread it on the table, then laid out several prepared Law Artifacts one by one.
On the far left is a tower shield, which is dark green, about six feet five high, three feet eight wide, and weighs 3,800 kilograms. The whole shield is made of three Spirit Rune Nesting--Sturdiness, Rebound and Thick Earth take the path of pure defense. The shield surface is smooth and flat, and the corners are polished meticulously. There are no unnecessary decorations, leaving only a calm metallic color.
Next to the tower shield is a heavy sword with a broad blade of Heaviness, about five feet three in length, about a palm in width, and weighs two thousand one hundred kilograms. It is engraved with three lines Spirit Rune, Sharpness, Thousand Jun, and Armor Piercing. It is a typical war weapon.
Further to the right is a pair of war hammers. Each hammer head is as big as a human head, with six ridges cast on the surface. It is round and heavy and engraved with Sturdiness, shock and Armor Piercing patterns.
These three Middle-Grade Law Artifacts were all forged by himself in the spare time after completing the monthly quota. The three Spirit Runes are arranged in an array, with solid materials, rough appearance, and no superfluous decorations. They are considered high-quality products among the same type of Law Artifacts.
Qin Tiexin took out two pieces Demon Beast from the storage ring Spirit Bone, placed next to Law Artifact. The bone is warm and moist, with a touch of natural Spirit Rune remaining on the surface. It is left after Edgeless absorbs Sha Qi. It is in complete condition and can be used directly for refining without further washing. One piece is Foundation Establishment Middle Stage The leg bone of Ice-Spined Wolf King is about one and a half feet long, and is slightly cold to the touch; the other piece is slightly smaller and is the shoulder blade of Foundation Establishment Early Stage Ice-Spined Wolf. Although it is slightly smaller than the leg bone, Spirit Rune is equally clear and complete.
He took two steps back and looked at the layout of the stall, making sure that everything was arranged neatly and stably. Then he sat on a low stool behind the stall and waited quietly.
There were not many people in the trading area in the early morning, but monks were passing by one after another. Some people were very interested in his tower shield and heavy sword, and from time to time their eyes fell on these Law Artifact. A strong man wearing a thick leather jacket with broad shoulders and a thick back stopped in front of the stall, his eyes fell on the tower shield, and after looking at it for a while, he said, "How do you sell this shield?"
"If you don't accept Spirit Stone, exchange it for the Qi and Blood Realm Body Refining Cultivation Method." Qin Tiexin said.
The body cultivator frowned when he heard the words, and looked at the tower shield carefully for a while, and touched the edge of the shield with some reluctance. "Qi and Blood Realm Cultivation Method... I do have a skill, but it is a sect inheritance and cannot be passed on to others."
Qin Tiexin nodded without forcing it. The strong man stood for a while and finally turned around and left.
The same situation happened several times in the next two hours. Most of the people who came to inquire about the price were strength-type body cultivators with cultivation levels ranging from Body Tempering Seventh Layer to the ninth level. At a glance, they could tell that the pieces Law Artifact forged by Qin Tiexin were suitable for them. But after hearing this, When it came to the point where they could only exchange Cultivation Method, most of them looked embarrassed - some shook their heads and left, and some tried to discuss whether they could exchange Spirit Stone and Devil Core for the heavy sword. Qin Tiexin hesitated several times, but finally shook his head and refused.
Spirit Stone can save more, and he can hunt for more materials, but what he lacks most now is a Qi and Blood Realm Cultivation Method that can guide him to continue on.
Among them was a Rogue Cultivator, with a cultivation level of about Body Tempering Eighth Layer. He stopped in front of his stall for a stick of incense. The man looked a little short of money, and finally took out a manuscript from his arms. The paper was yellowed and brittle, and he carefully placed it on the table. "I have a door here. The incomplete "Iron Bone Art" manuscript, Cultivation Method of the Body Refining Realm is complete, but the Qi and Blood Realm part only has a few fragmentary pages, which are stuck in the bottleneck and cannot be used. Can you see if you can replace your pair of hammers?"
Qin Tiexin took the manuscript and read it from beginning to end. The content is similar to the Flowing Cloud Sect's "Basic Body Tempering Instruction", both of which are powerful Body Tempering The common path of Cultivation Method. The pages of the Qi and Blood Realm are really badly damaged. They can't even draw the meridians' running routes, making it impossible to practice according to them. Moreover, it happens to be the state he needs most at the moment, but it happens to be broken at the most critical place.
He closed the manuscript, handed it back to the other party, and shook his head. "Sorry, I don't need this."
Then Rogue Cultivator took the manuscript and put it back in his arms with a wry smile, "It's okay, I'll look at something else." He turned around and left.
When closing the stall on the first day, Qin Tiexin had no shortage of Law Artifact in front of him, and the dilemma of missing Cultivation Method was more clearly presented in front of him. In the evening, Duan Xuan came to the trading area. She was dressed today than Yesterday was a bit more casual, with a cape casually thrown over her shorts, the long whip still hanging around her waist, and her hair tied into a high ponytail. She walked to the stall and glanced at Law Artifact, who was motionless on the table, and then at Qin Tiexin's expression, which was a bit strange.
"Not a single thing was sold?"
"There are many people who want it, but no one is willing to exchange it for Cultivation Method." Qin Tiexin nodded and told Duan Xuan that he wanted to exchange it for Cultivation Method.
Duan Xuan sighed, sat down on the wooden box next to the stall, considered his words, and then slowly said, "You may not know clearly."
Qin Tiexin raised his head and looked at her.
"Body Refining Cultivation Method and Qi Refining Cultivation Method is not the same." Duan Xuan said, "Qi Refining's Cultivation Method, as long as Spirit Root's attributes match, it's easy to change them. Just practice accordingly, and the efficiency will be higher or lower at most. The differences can be copied from each other and widely circulated. But Body Refining Cultivation Method is different - it is developed over a long period of time under the practitioner's own physique, habits, and even fighting style. The same Cultivation Method, practiced on ten people, may have ten different effects."
She paused and continued, "Furthermore, there is another reason for Cultivation Method's uniqueness. If a person's Body Refining Cultivation Method is known to outsiders about the route of the meridians and the focus of tempering, then his weaknesses and strength habits can be easily deduced. Therefore, many Body Refining monks guard their major Cultivation Method very strictly and will not easily spread it to others."
Qin Tiexin was silent for a while after listening. He really had never thought about it from this perspective before. He thought that as long as it was Cultivation Method, it would be the same as Law Artifact - a fair exchange between you and me. But through Duan Xuan With 's explanation, he gradually understood how precious and scarce Body Refining Cultivation Method was. No wonder there were not even a few complete copies of Body Refining Cultivation Method in the Flowing Cloud Sect's Library Pavilion.
Seeing his silence, Duan Xuan added, "But don't be too discouraged. There are still several days before the conference. There will always be people who have extra or unused Cultivation Method. Your Law Artifact are of good quality, and Spirit Bone is also a real Foundation Establishment Realm material. There will always be someone willing to replace it."
She stood up and patted the dust on her clothes. "Besides, trading is not the only way. The better the ranking in the assessment, the richer the rewards you can get. If you perform well in the next few rounds, you may be able to try your luck with the rewards for Cultivation Method. What's more, there is a secret realm, isn't it? There are often many Cultivation Method that have not appeared in the world."
Qin Tiexin took this news to heart and nodded.
Duan Xuan didn't keep any more. She also had a stall of her own and needed to exchange the materials she needed. Qin Tiexin took back the remaining Law Artifact in the stall to the storage ring one by one. The two pieces of Spirit Bone were also carefully put away. He decided to come back tomorrow and listen to the lectures of three Meridian Opening Realm monks on the third day. Cultivation Method would stay and try his luck later.
On the second day, Qin Tiexin went out several times and bought some common Body Refining medicinal materials. However, there was no Cultivation Method, and I had no way to purchase them in a targeted manner. There were occasionally Body Refining Stage in the entire trading area. Cultivation Method or even Cultivation Method martial arts of Qi Refining are for sale, but Cultivation Method of the Qi and Blood Realm is not found.
In the afternoon, Qin Tiexin was still standing in front of the stall. Several waves of people came over to ask about the price, but still no one was willing to exchange Cultivation Method. He looked at the sky and was hesitating whether to close the stall in advance and go to the podium to get a good seat, when a figure in gray robe stopped in front of his stall.
He was a sturdy monk, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with dark and rough skin, the traces of years of experience in the wild. His cultivation level was about Body Tempering Ninth Layer, and his aura was calm and steady. He did not ask the price first like the previous monks did, but first looked at the tower shield on the table carefully - from the Spirit Rune on the shield surface to the polishing process on the edge, and then looked at the thickness and curvature of the shield from the side, and then looked at the pieces of Spirit Bone.
He picked up the piece of Ice-Spined Wolf King's leg bone, weighed it in his hands, looked at the remaining Spirit Rune on the surface against the light, and put it down after a while.
Then he took out a Jade Slip from his arms and placed it on the table.
"I heard that you are looking for the Cultivation Method of the Qi and Blood Realm, and I happen to have a spare one here." He changed the topic, "However, it is a restoration method. I accidentally got it in an old cave abode. It is not in line with my own method, so I have kept it useless. Can I exchange it with you?"
Qin Tiexin picked up Jade Slip and asked without rushing to explore the content, "Can I take a look first?"
"Watch whatever you want."
Qin Tiexin put Jade Slip on his forehead, and Divine Sense sank into it. There is a Body Refining Cultivation Method named "Essence Restoration and Body Fortification Instruction" recorded in Jade Slip. Only the part of the Qi and Blood Realm is complete, and the chapter is relatively complete. Jade Slip has restrictions, so we can only take a rough look.
It is probably to guard against those Divine Sense monks who are powerful and have good memories. They can memorize all the contents of Cultivation Method at a glance, and then come for free prostitution.
Although it is impossible to read the full text, the core of Cultivation Method is relatively clear. The core of this Cultivation Method lies in "Qi and Blood nourishment" - unlike the power-type Cultivation Method that pursues explosive power, it focuses more on Let Qi and Blood form a continuous circulation in the body, Nourishment meridians and internal organs, thereby speeding up the recovery of injuries and prolonging the ability to continue fighting. There are several special methods for the operation of Qi and Blood, which are ideas he has never seen before.
Qin Tiexin put down Jade Slip. Although this Cultivation Method was just a single path and not his ideal major direction, Qin Tiexin thought for a moment and felt that it The ideas about nourishment and continuity are likely to complement Cultivation Method, the major he wants to pursue in the future. One focuses on bursts and the other focuses on endurance. If the two can be combined, it may be able to bring his fighting style to a whole new level.
"What do you want to change?" he asked.
The gray-robed Rogue Cultivator pointed at the tower shield on the table and the piece of Ice-Spined Wolf King's leg bone. "Add the shield to that piece of Spirit Bone, and replace it with this Cultivation Method piece of Qi and Blood."
Qin Tiexin looked at the tower shield and then at the leg bone. Without hesitating for too long, he nodded and said, "Change."
The gray-robed Rogue Cultivator didn't say much. He directly picked up the tower shield and Spirit Bone, tried the weight and feel, nodded with satisfaction, left the Jade Slip on the ground after canceling the ban, turned around and strode away, and his figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Qin Tiexin picked up the Jade Slip and carefully put it into the storage ring. This was the first Cultivation Method he had acquired in two days. Although it was only a recovery type Cultivation Method of the Qi and Blood Realm, it was not the Higher Vehicle he had ideally had both in strength and speed. Cultivation Method. But at least there is a direction. Whether it is continuing to trade or relying on winning rewards, the pressure will be much less than before.
That night, Qin Tiexin returned to C Zone Number Seven, read "Essence Restoration and Body Fortification Instruction" carefully from beginning to end, and simply wrote down a few key Qi and Blood operation methods on the paper.
Although this Cultivation Method is not his ultimate goal, as he thought, the methods of nourishment and recovery in this Cultivation Method have inspired him a lot, and may well complement his ideal major, Cultivation Method.
