Chapter 796 - 271: Demon Secret Canon (3)
"So fast!"
"This is the Inch Shrinkage Divine Skill!"
"Who is this guy really? Luckily, I didn’t make a move just now, or I’d be dead by now!"
Outside the market, many cultivators had shocked expressions on their faces.
Lin Zheyu had already noticed these people.
Nowadays, he was no longer the poor soul he once was; he had become suddenly wealthy, possessing a fortune of eight medium-grade spirit stones.
In addition, he had a very valuable Earth Element Magical Artifact.
Lin Zheyu no longer cared about the few low-grade spirit stones these people had on them.
In the desolate mountains and forests.
A man dressed in a scholar’s blue robe casually stepped down from the sky.
This man was Lin Zheyu, who had just rushed over from the market outside Ruyang City.
After comprehending the Power of Spatial Rules, Lin Zheyu’s style took a sudden turn, becoming even more ethereal and free.
"This is the place."
Lin Zheyu elegantly landed by the stream, his spiritual sense probing outward, easily seeing through the blinding skill in the forest.
With a flip of his right hand, a low-grade spirit stone appeared in his palm.
Lin Zheyu flicked his wrist, and the spirit stone accurately fell into a groove on the array.
Lin Zheyu stepped forward, entering the array, as lights flowed, his entire figure vanished from the spot.
...
The Cultivation Marketplace that Lin Zheyu had visited before was different from this one; this Cultivation Marketplace was established and maintained by the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance.
The one Lin Zheyu had previously been to was established and maintained by the Lingyun Pavilion.
Though the forces behind them were different, the style of the marketplaces was quite similar, except the shops inside this one were mainly run by the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance.
Lin Zheyu wandered around, buying an elixir for Mr. Yang to heal old injuries, and one for Bai Zhong to break through to the Innate stage.
Not just for them, even Guo Wenzi, Chen Ding, Huang Youwei, and others had their share.
This time, Lin Zheyu spent heavily, consuming almost two medium-grade spirit stones in total.
Spirit stones could be earned again.
Debts of gratitude left unpaid could be a bit troublesome.
As his strength improved, the demand for mental perfection grew higher and higher.
Lin Zheyu was not a cold-hearted person; his personal principles dictated that not repaying kindness would lead to flaws in his mental state.
After purchasing the elixirs and items for Mr. Yang and others, Lin Zheyu went to the central area of the marketplace run by the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance.
This was the largest shop in this marketplace, and also one of the branches of the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance.
The goods inside were countless and all-encompassing.
"Fellow Daoist, is there anything in particular you wish to buy?"
A genteel girl at the Qi Cultivation Third Layer approached and asked respectfully.
"I heard there’s literature related to magic glyphs for sale here?"
Lin Zheyu took out a jade plaque and handed it over, asking calmly.
In any world, books were the ladder to human progress.
Standing on the shoulders of giants and absorbing the knowledge they had researched was much easier than starting from scratch on one’s own.
"We do, senior. Please follow me!"
Upon seeing the jade plaque, the girl’s eyes subtly brightened, and her demeanor became even more respectful.
To possess such a jade plaque, one either had an influential background or formidable strength, marking them as truly valued guests of the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance.
Lin Zheyu nodded slightly and proceeded to the third floor under the girl’s guidance.
On the third floor, a woman in a tight-fitting red dress sat gracefully by the counter.
In front of her was a plate of sunflower seeds, which she nibbled on while flipping through books, giving off a knowledgeable and elegant air.
Sensing someone arrive, the woman looked up and smiled as she welcomed him.
"This person’s physique is incredibly strong!"
The woman was secretly astounded.
This branch of the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance was inscribed with a special array that could glimpse some secrets of those who entered.
When Lin Zheyu stepped into the third floor, she vaguely sensed that Lin Zheyu’s physique was extraordinarily powerful.
"I am Zhuo Wanfeng; fellow Daoist may call me Wanfeng."
"I wonder what items fellow Daoist wishes to purchase this time."
Zhuo Wanfeng said with a smile, her face adorned with delicate dimples, adding a unique charm.
’Such a refined woman.’
Upon seeing Zhuo Wanfeng, Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but secretly admire her.
"Does your alliance sell classics related to Demon Skills, magic glyphs, or Barbarian Clan Skills?" Lin Zheyu stated his purpose.
Demon Skills, magic glyphs, and Barbarian Totems were closely related to Lin Zheyu’s current Main Cultivation Skill, the Primordial Golden Body.
His knowledge of magic glyphs, Demon Skills, and Barbarian Totems was acquired indirectly through the study of the Cultivation Technique, without any structured learning.
If Lin Zheyu wanted to continue perfecting this Cultivation Technique, he needed a systematic study of more related knowledge.
"We do."
"This jade scroll contains an introduction to Demon Skills; this one is for magic glyph literature, and this is for Barbarian Clan Skill descriptions."
"Each has its corresponding price marked; fellow Daoist may take a look."
Zhuo Wanfeng smiled slightly, flipping her right hand to reveal three jade scrolls.
Lin Zheyu took the jade scrolls, swept his spiritual sense over them, and the content of the scrolls emerged in his consciousness.
He had to admit, as expected of the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance, such a large commercial alliance possessed unthinkably vast resources.
However, the prices were outrageously high.
They were two to three times more expensive than Cultivation Techniques sold by small vendors outside.
"I’ll take one copy each of the ’Demon Secret Canon’ and ’Totem Profound Interpretation,’" Lin Zheyu said calmly.
These two weren’t Cultivation Techniques but introductory classics.
The former recorded and introduced demon cultivation methods, also containing introductory knowledge on magic glyphs. The latter was an analysis of Barbarian Totems, using celestial knowledge as a foundation to interpret Barbarian Totems.
