Wang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness underwent another transformation.

Countless pale golden texts emerged from his Divine Soul’s consciousness, coalescing into a cluster of Spiritual Light Law Seeds.

A single Law Seed represented a complete Cultivation Technique.

The Law Seed that had just formed contained the entire cultivation spells of the Five Elements Skill’s first to ninth tiers.

From now on, by comprehending this Law Seed, Wang Chen could naturally acquire the Cultivation Technique that corresponded to his own cultivation level.

Wrapped around the Law Seed were several dark golden chains.

These were the Magic Seal Spells.

The Magic Seal Spell corresponded to “The Law Must Not Be Transmitted Lightly,” the first vow of the Heavenly Dao.

The moment Wang Chen activated the Cultivation Technique Jade Slip, he had made for himself this ancient oath.

Under the constraints of the Magic Oath, he could learn, cultivate, use and even modify the obtained Cultivation Technique.

But he was unable to teach it to others.

Any Cultivation Technique obtained from the sect, including spells, would have the same Magic Seal Spell.

The sect used it to ensure the inherited Cultivation Techniques would not be leaked or spread.

When Wang Chen’s consciousness withdrew from the Sea of Consciousness,

he found himself standing outside the Scripture Pavilion, with nothing in his hands.

After respectfully bowing through the door, Wang Chen left the Dharma Transmission Hall.

He didn’t go straight home but wandered around Cloud Mountain City.

A thousand years ago, the Cloud Sun Sect settled on Heaven Cloud Mountain because of the Spirit Vein and established Cloud Mountain, Cloud Lake, and Cloud Sea—three Immortal Cities, governing an area of ten thousand miles.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Among the cities of Cloud Sun, Cloud Mountain City was the largest and most prosperous, with nine districts and eighteen streets housing several hundred thousand residents.

And in Cloud Mountain City, there were even dozens of Superiors who had established mansions!

As Wang Chen walked along, he saw shops, inns, restaurants, gambling houses, carriages, and more.

Most of these businesses belonged to the families of these Superiors, or were owned by cultivators who aligned with them.

The streets were bustling with the noisy traffic of carriages and horses, and people from all walks of life gathered here, creating a lively and thriving scene.

The original owner had visited Cloud Mountain City several times, but had never truly experienced the splendor of this Immortal City.

And as Wang Chen strolled through it, he felt like he was in a dream.

Even cultivators found it hard to resist such prosperity, no wonder so many people were striving to be a part of it.

However, Wang Chen came from a modernized major city after all.

Despite being dazzled for a moment, his will remained unshaken.

He entered a shop with a signboard that read “Four Seas Commerce Association.”

“Peace to you, Immortal Master.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

As soon as Wang Chen stepped over the threshold, a pretty-looking maid immediately greeted him, respectfully bowing and asking, “May I know what you need?”

The residents of Cloud Mountain City were not all cultivators, in fact, there was a large number of mortals.

Or to be more precise, potential cultivators.

Most of them were Martial Artists or at the Shedding Mortality phase, taking on roles such as laborers, handymen, servants, waiters, and more.

Among them, there were even quite a few Innate Martial Artists!

In the mortal realm, Innate Martial Artists were people of high status, with combat capabilities not inferior to low-level Qi Cultivators.

But here, they could at best serve as guards or attendants.

As for the enthusiastic Shedding Mortality maid who welcomed Wang Chen, she wasn’t worth mentioning at all.

Wang Chen nodded and replied, “I wish to purchase a Cultivation Technique.”

Exchanging for the last six tiers of the Five Elements Skill at the Outer Sect Main Hall had drained all his Merit Points.

Therefore, Wang Chen could only look for the spells and skills he needed at the Four Seas Commerce Association.

The Four Seas Commerce Association didn’t belong to any of the Superior families in Cloud Mountain City. In fact, this association had deeper roots than the Cloud Sun Sect, boasting an Upper Realm background.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Similar to the Four Seas Commerce Association was the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

The Myriad Treasures Pavilion had even more clout than the Four Seas Commerce Association, rumored to have business dealings in countless worlds.

Not to mention the Cloud Sun Sect, even the Upper Sect and the Upper Sect’s Upper Sect of it wouldn’t dare to offend so easily,

Myriad Treasures Pavilion deals exclusively in high-end transactions.

The buildings it erected in Cloud Mountain City stand at fifteen stories, second only to the Star Observation Pavilion.

For a low-level cultivator like Wang Chen, who only has a handful of Low Spirit stones in his Storage Bag, he didn’t even qualify to enter.

Four Seas Commerce Association, conducting a similar business in talismans, Magic Artifacts, pills, Cultivation Techniques, and materials, was undoubtedly more down-to-earth.

Guided by a maid, he arrived on the second floor.

A chubby man with a beaming smile greeted Wang Chen.

The chubby man introduced himself as Shopkeeper Jin, dressed and looking very much like a wealthy landlord.

As for his cultivation strength, Wang Chen couldn’t tell anyway.

Wang Chen asked bluntly, “I’d like to purchase a Body Refinement Cultivation Technique. What cost-effective options do you have here?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

His Physique stat was very low, making him vulnerable in defense, and he had long thought about buying such a technique as supplementary training.

Shopkeeper Jin was taken aback at first, but after asking, he understood what Wang Chen meant by “cost-effective.”

“Fellow Daoist, you’ve used that term exquisitely.”

He said with a clap and a laugh, “The cost-effective Body Refinement techniques you’re talking about, I do indeed have several here.”

The chubby shopkeeper enthusiastically recommended several Body Refinement techniques to Wang Chen, including Black Tortoise Jue, Bronze Elephant Technique, Blue Gang Body Refining Method, and others.

But their prices all exceeded Wang Chen’s budget!

Shopkeeper Jin, perceiving his dilemma, said with a chuckle, “There are cheaper ones, but this technique is considered unorthodox, and it has quite a few flaws in cultivation.”

Wang Chen’s interest was piqued, “What technique?”

Shopkeeper Jin replied, “Heavenly Dragon Vajra Right Method!”

Wang Chen was startled, “A Buddhist Sect technique?”

The Buddhist Sect truly was considered unorthodox in the world of Immortal Cultivation.

Its status and power were nowhere near comparable to those of the Taoist sects.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Correct.”

Shopkeeper Jin explained, “The Heavenly Dragon Vajra Right Method originates from the Heavenly Dragon Temple and is a secret Buddhist Body Refinement technique. At its highest level, one can cultivate an indestructible Vajra body that does not succumb to death or reincarnation.”

“But, this technique is easy to start with yet difficult to Break Threshold. To reach higher tiers, one also needs to supplement it with Buddhist Law, so…”

Wang Chen asked, “How many Spirit Stones?”

Easy to initiate but difficult to Break Threshold? Isn’t that perfectly suited for him!

As for the restriction of supplementing with Buddhist Law, he had no intention of cultivating an indestructible body anyway.

So long as the technique could enhance his Physique, that was more than enough.

Shopkeeper Jin held up three chubby fingers.

Wang Chen, disappointedly, “Three hundred Low Spirit?”

Shopkeeper Jin laughed, “Thirty.”

Wang Chen: “…”

Had it not been for the well-established reputation of the Four Seas Commerce Association, he would have suspected they were just messing with him!

Shopkeeper Jin said earnestly, “The first three tiers of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Right Method just cost thirty Low Spirit Stones. If not for the constraints of a Magic Seal Spell, these fellows would’ve wanted to give it away for free.”

“I can assure you, there’s nothing wrong with the technique!”

“I’ll buy it!”

Without a second thought, Wang Chen made his decision—the reputation of the Four Seas Commerce Association was indeed trustworthy.

They wouldn’t possibly swindle a lowly Qi Cultivation cultivator like him.

Shopkeeper Jin had someone bring the technique’s Jade Slip, then said to Wang Chen, “This technique is good enough for practice, but I would advise not to spend too much time on it. Also…”

“Would you like some Vajra Ghee to help with the cultivation?”

Looking at the beaming chubby man before him, Wang Chen suddenly felt as though he had fallen into a trap!
