Chapter 3 Another village has a bright future

The sudden sound from behind startled Zhang Wei, and he threw the ancient book in his hand into the air. The book flipped in the air, making a rustling sound. When it fell, it had already been in the other hand.

Zhang Wei looked back and saw a handsome middle-aged man, who looked a bit like the old man in the store. They must be from the same family.

The old man who woke up looked at the cover of the ancient book, then gave Zhang Wei a strange look, and then said unhappily: "Every year there are people like you who refuse to give up, but even those who seek death will never be like you!"

Zhang Wei said embarrassedly: "I'm just curious..."

The handsome middle-aged man said, "Each of the techniques here is a secret that was kept secret by all the major sects in the ancient times. But in this day and age, they are only worth more than the common Qi-inducing Techniques. However, they are only bought by those small families who claim to be scholars to serve as a facade. They are not to be practiced!"

As he spoke, the handsome middle-aged man handed the ancient book to Zhang Wei. He then said, "The ancient cultivation method does not require spiritual roots, but it emphasizes external forces. Not to mention the row of books you are reading now! For example, this one..."

"This is the legendary Linghu Immortal Palace's sect-defining technique, 'The Art of the Rising Tide of the Blue Sea'. It requires one to stay in the Xuanyin Heavy Water for 49 days to build a Xuanyin Dharma Body and lay the foundation. But without the legendary Jindan Zhenren to protect one, an ordinary person can't even get close to the Xuanyin Heavy Water, let alone bathe in it."

"There is also the Purple Flame Sutra of the Fire Virtue Immortal Sect, which requires people to enter the underground fire veins to absorb its violent fire attribute spiritual energy. Without the Fire Virtue Immortal Sect's secret method to suppress the fire power, you will be turned into ash in the first breath!"

“Even if you are lucky enough to receive the support of the legendary Golden Elixir Master, you still cannot practice because the spiritual objects that practice these techniques have disappeared, and even if they still exist, they have been polluted by the turbid air between heaven and earth and turned into a wasteland.

Do you still hear the names of Linghu Immortal Palace and Huode Immortal Sect? They have long been forgotten, and even the ruins of the sect have been rummaged through countless times by a group of casual cultivators. "

The old man also tried to persuade him earnestly: "Young man, I understand your reluctance, but the reality is very cruel. These sects disappeared because their foundations could not adapt to the current era. Their secret methods have been tried by people before, but why are they still gathering dust on the bookshelf of my shop? Isn't it because they can't be practiced?"

The old man was also a kind-hearted person, and he tried to persuade the man earnestly, but the handsome middle-aged man became a little impatient, so he decided to take some drastic measures.

"Oh, yes, there is an exception."

As he spoke, the handsome middle-aged man searched in the bookcase and pulled out an ancient book that was covered in dust, and handed it to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei looked down and saw five large, vigorous characters written on the cover.

"The Heavenly Thunder Divine Refining Technique?"

The handsome middle-aged man stroked his beard and sneered, "If you really want to cultivate immortality, leave Linglong Island and do some bad things that will anger the gods and people, and then find a rainy day to be struck hard by the heavens. If you survive nine strikes, then congratulations, not only can you cultivate immortality, you may also be able to form the legendary one-in-a-million thunder spirit root and become the legendary most powerful thunder cultivator!"

"The Yunya Immortal Sect, which originally created this technique, relied on this technique to train generations of thunder masters, and has suppressed the five regions and seventy-three countries for a thousand years!"

"Moreover, thunder is the most powerful. Even the turbid air that affects the entire world cannot be completely permeated by the power of the Heavenly Dao. Unless it is the Yin Thunder nurtured by some Jedi, you can use the thunder in the world to practice without worry!"

The prospect the middle-aged man talked about was very tempting, but Zhang Wei still asked doubtfully: "Since thunder will not be affected by turbid air, then the Yunya Immortal Sect should still be able to maintain its inheritance. How could this secret book be leaked out?"

The old man on the side rolled his eyes at Zhang Wei and said unhappily, "Do you really believe his nonsense?"

“Even true thunder spirit cultivators don’t dare to face the might of heavenly thunder. If the Yunya Immortal Sect could really rely on the power of heavenly thunder to steadily cultivate thunder cultivators, they would have already rushed out of the pond of these five regions and seventy-three countries!”

"The reason why Yunya Xianzong allowed its disciples to practice under the thunder was mainly because of a secret treasure inherited from the sect. That secret treasure can actively suppress the power of thunder, reducing it to a level that ordinary people can bear, and then allow the disciples to slowly draw the power of thunder to practice.

Directly swallowing the heavenly thunder, even a Jindan-stage thunder spirit cultivator wouldn't dare to do this!"

"But later, for unknown reasons, the Yunya Immortal Sect perished overnight. It is said that it was because a huge filthy stone accompanied by black rain fell from the sky. The powerful men of the Yunya Immortal Sect wanted to smash it with thunder magic, but the filthy stone and black rain turned into a shower of meteors and fire, forcibly breaking through the Yunya Immortal Sect's protective formation and turning it into a scorched earth. The Black Mountain Range in the Yulong Region is actually the mountain gate of the Yunya Immortal Sect. It was a famous Jedi..."

“After this incident, the Yunya Immortal Sect was removed from the list of the famous and large sects in the Seventy-Three Countries, and the sect’s secret treasures disappeared. The disciples who were lucky enough to survive outside also turned to other ways. The sect’s magic formula, which could not be continued without the sect’s secret treasures, slowly fell into the corner and gathered dust.” The old man sighed, as if lamenting that the waves washed away the heroes, and that no matter how powerful the sect was in the past, it could not resist the catastrophe of heaven and earth and turned into a pile of yellow earth.

"That's it..."

Zhang Wei muttered, looking at the ancient books in his hand, and said together with some things he had found before: "Excuse me, Immortal, how much are these books in total?"

"You still want to practice?"

The old man opened his eyes wide and said, it seems that all his persuasion just now was in vain!

Zhang Wei's eyes widened as he said, "How is that possible? I just wanted to buy some books to brag to my friends. After all, I have come to this blessed land of immortals, and I can't go back empty-handed."

"you……"

The old man wanted to say something else, but his son beside him pulled his sleeve and shook his head at him.

Seeing this, the old man sighed and said, "Alright, it's just some miscellaneous books, I'll give you two taels of spirit stones, you can also use gold and silver. Twenty taels of silver, one tael of gold will be enough."

"I have spirit stones... um..."

Zhang Wei was about to take out his spirit stones, but he was embarrassed to find that he had used his last spirit stones to bribe the old man to tell him stories. Although he still had some savings, they were all with the servants.

After all, he had no means of storage, so how could he carry around valuables weighing several kilograms?
So Zhang Wei gritted his teeth, took off his jade pendant, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, two immortals, this is all I have to offer you now. But don't worry, this jade pendant has been appraised by a famous master in the mortal world, and it is very valuable, worth thirty taels of silver!"

The old man and the middle-aged man were also knowledgeable. Seeing the extraordinary design of this jade pendant, they knew that what Zhang Wei said was true. Although it was not as useful to cultivators like them as a jade bottle containing elixirs, it would be great to exchange it for gold or silver when traveling in the mortal world in the future.

"It seems that you are also from a wealthy family, but I will not let you suffer any loss. Let me give you another bottle of Qi-nourishing Pills and you can give it to your elders." The old man took out a small green bottle from his arms, and Zhang Wei hurriedly took it with great trepidation.

"Thank you, Immortal."

Zhang Wei thanked the customer profusely and left the shop carrying the dozen books and nourishing pills he had selected.

Looking at Zhang Wei, who was dressed luxuriously but still timidly walking on the side of the road, afraid of bumping into passing immortal cultivators, the old man couldn't help but sigh.

"Ugh……"

The middle-aged man next to him thought that his father still had some grievances, so he said, "We've said all the good and bad things about him. If he still wants to destroy himself, why should we care about him? Every year there are some self-righteous people who can't be stopped!"

"Everyone has his own destiny, which is determined by God. If someone has no spiritual roots but still insists on going in, and refuses to listen to others' advice, then he can only be said to have a bad fate when he dies!"

The old man laughed dumbly and said, "Hey... the road to immortality is long... everyone says that cultivating immortality is good, but who knows that this immortal path... hehe..."

On the other side, Zhang Wei also left Linglong Xianfang safely with a pile of books on his back, and then jumped into the sedan chair that had been waiting for him outside.

"Come on, go home."

Sitting in the sedan chair, Zhang Wei tried to give instructions in a calm tone, but his hands gripping the ancient book became tighter and tighter.
