Minor mastery at a glance?

Half an hour later, in Demon Capital's extremely bustling yet chaotic "Dark Night District."

This is Demon Capital largest black market for independent cultivators in Shanghai. It's a melting pot of all sorts of people and much more down-to-earth than high-end auction houses like Myriad Treasures Pavilion. It's also easier to buy some rare and hard-to-find items that are no longer available on the market.

Hong Gui had changed into a low-key black trench coat and was wearing a mask as she walked side by side with Dongfang Yueming on the crowded street.

"Why aren't you in seclusion cultivating that Earth Grade cultivation technique? What are you doing here in this filthy and chaotic black market?"

Hong Gui looked at Dongfang Yueming beside her with some confusion. This kid had obtained Earth Grade cultivation technique but wasn't in a hurry to break through. Instead, he seemed to be going shopping.

"I'm here to buy some Qi Technique," Dongfang Yueming said casually.

"Qi Technique? Didn't you buy a bunch of Yellow Grade junk from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion before?" Hong Gui rolled her eyes. "What high-level Qi Technique do you need? Tell me, and maybe I can get it for you."

"I need a pupil-type Qi Technique."

Dongfang Yueming didn't hide anything, "In addition, I need a few more hand seal Qi Technique, preferably with greater power."

Upon hearing the words "pupil technique," Hong Gui paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Eye techniques? You're really obsessed with something that's practically extinct."

Hong Gui shook her head. "To tell you the truth, the highest level of eye technique you can buy on the entire black market in Demon Capital is only Profound Grade."

"What about the seal technique?" Dongfang Yueming was not discouraged by the difficulty of the pupil technique; it was within his expectations.

"The printing method isn't difficult."

A confident, even slightly proud, smile suddenly appeared on Hong Gui's lips.

"I happen to have a Earth Grade seal Qi Technique here—the Eight Desolations Sea-Overturning Seal."

She patted Dongfang Yueming's shoulder with great enthusiasm, "Since I've already given you all the Earth Grade cultivation techniques, one more Qi-based Qi Technique won't make a difference. Consider it a done deal."

As she spoke, Hong Gui casually pulled out a jade slip that shimmered with a blue light from her bosom and handed it to Dongfang Yueming.

"This is a top-tier killing move that I searched through the family treasury for three days and three nights before finally finding it! I'm known as a once-in-a-century genius in the Li Family, and it took me a full month of arduous training to barely even grasp the Entry."

Hong Gui proudly raised her chin. "You'd better practice hard, or you'll waste your sister's good intentions."

Dongfang Yueming took the jade slip and scanned it with his Divine Sense.

[Ding! Learned Earth Grade Qi Technique - "Eight Desolations Sea-Overturning Seal" (0/48, Not Yet Entry)!]

"Earth Grade Qi Technique, requires 48 points to Entry. This woman really has quite a lot in reserve." Dongfang Yueming was secretly pleased. This hand seal technique could be used to make a final push for the Heaven Grade synthesis of his "Purple Extreme Heavenly Might Dragon King Seal"!

"Entry January?"

Looking at Hong Gui's arrogant, praise-seeking demeanor, a hint of mockery flashed in Dongfang Yueming's eyes.

"System, Point Allocation! Instantly Entry!"

[Ding! 48 points consumed, Entry "Eight Desolations Sea-Overturning Seal"!]

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, on the bustling black market streets.

Above Dongfang Yueming's palm, without warning, an extremely small blue mark appeared, yet it exuded an extremely terrifying, heavy vapor that seemed capable of churning up rivers and seas!

Although it was only One Flash moment, the pure aura of the Earth Grade seal technique truly erupted!

"..."

Hong Gui's smug smile instantly froze on her face.

She stared wide-eyed at Dongfang Yueming's palm as if she had seen a ghost.

"You... you actually..."

Hong Gui's voice stammered with extreme shock, "You just glanced at it and... you've already Entry?!"

How is that possible?!

The meridian pathways of Earth Grade Qi Technique are extremely complex and dangerous! This kid actually managed to condense a hand seal simply by scanning it with his Divine Sense?!

"It's alright. I understood it after a quick look." Dongfang Yueming calmly withdrew his hand, his tone completely indifferent.

Hong Gui gasped, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart.

"This... is this the comprehension of a prodigy?" She swallowed hard, trying to reassure herself, "However, while it's easy to Entry Earth Grade Qi Technique, achieving even Minor Accomplishment requires a vast foundation of true Qi and countless hours of real combat experience..."

"Yeah?"

Dongfang Yueming silently issued the command in his mind once again.

[Ding! 144 points consumed, Minor Accomplishment!]

"Boom!"

This time, the blue mark in Dongfang Yueming's palm not only grew to the size of a large bowl, but also erupted with a clear, deafening roar like a tsunami!

"Small... Minor Accomplishment?!"

Hong Gui completely broke down. She looked at Dongfang Yueming as if he were a monster. "You... you don't tell me you just learned this on the spot?! Did you practice this hand seal technique before to deliberately provoke me?!"

"I really haven't practiced it." Dongfang Yueming shook his head honestly.

"You..." Hong Gui gritted her teeth, making a sarcastic joke, "You freak, you're not going to Major Accomplishment right away, are you?"
