Witch, please have some self-respect!

He discovered that although these cultivation methods were numerous, most of them were only beginner-level body refinement techniques, which were of little use to him at the moment.

Even if one were to actually cultivate it, the power unleashed would be minimal and wouldn't amplify one's current strength.

These techniques are no different from the Rolling Stone Fist I practiced before, and may even be a level lower.

The young man selling pills at the neighboring stall saw Shen Yun and his companions and came together.

He quickly stepped forward and said, "Esteemed guest, would you like to take a look at my family's medicinal pills?"

Judging from his years of experience selling medicine at a stall, these customers were definitely not ordinary people.

Seeing that the people ignored him, the shopkeeper selling the pills pretended to be familiar with Shen Yun and continued:

"I see that the guest is already in the late stage of body cultivation. The books in their house are all low-level cultivation techniques, which you probably don't need."

Moreover, five cultivation techniques cost 100 source stones, which is very expensive.

Of all the books in the collection, only a few are actually useful.

As he spoke, he began to promote his own products.

Meanwhile, the old man selling books nearby frowned and said to the pill seller:

"Wang Si, how can you talk like that! If you're going to sell something, just sell it. Why are you making up stories about my martial arts techniques?!"

"Do you want to fight?!"

"Is what I said wrong? It is true." Wang Si was not afraid of him and immediately retorted.

Shen Yun glanced at the two of them but did not disturb them. Instead, he continued to look at the books on the table.

As for the pills next door, he had already looked at them when he passed by. The pills on his table were not much better than the books here.

They were all low-grade pills.

As for his current low-level pills, he buys them directly at wholesale prices and doesn't use them much, so there's no need for him to spend source stones to buy them from outside.

As I continued flipping through the pages, I suddenly came across a book of cultivation techniques hidden at the very bottom—the Vajra Sutra.

The name of this cultivation technique was somewhat unexpected.

Can you really find scriptures, sutras, laws, practices, and formulas—the highest level of Dharma—at a street stall?

If you were to purchase scriptures from the Holy Sect, you definitely couldn't buy them for 100 source stones.

It would cost at least several thousand contribution points.

However, it was disappointing after it was activated, and its level of mystery was only slightly better than the Rolling Stone Fist.

It's just that it has a big reputation.

Below are methods that dare to be called "Taoist Canon." If they are true, the Holy City would be drenched in blood.

Practitioners who cultivate the principle of "taking the Great Sun as the body and Vajra as the function" must use their own "Qi and Blood" as a guide to communicate with the "Golden Flame of the Great Sun" above the Nine Heavens.

By fusing it with the "Vajra Sha" within the body, a unique "Great Sun Vajra Qi" is formed, which is the foundation of the battle technique.

It isolates the body from evil influences and strengthens the body's defenses.

At that time, it will be equivalent to wearing a layer of golden armor from head to toe.

This greatly enhances their combat capabilities.

It seems very powerful, but it's actually just a method to strengthen the skin. It's just that the idea behind this method is good, and it seems that sunbathing can increase the progress, which is pretty good.

However, these techniques are all somewhat incomplete, and ordinary people may not be able to succeed in practicing them.

However, once a cultivator has perfected their skills, their cultivation becomes somewhat of a double-edged sword.

That's why it's so cheap; many methods are "semi-finished products" created by cultivators on a whim.

Shen Yun came to the black market to find some low-level techniques to experiment with and see how they could help Jian Chun's true intention growth.

Furthermore, try to use the ability to comprehend the Dharma to see if you can improve your ability to deduce the Dharma.

Is it more worthwhile to focus on quantity rather than quality with lower-level cultivation techniques, or to take an elite approach with higher-level techniques for faster improvement?

I don't expect to find any extraordinary skills; I just want something easy to cultivate.

Ideally, it should be like the "Qi and Blood Condensation Technique," where you could master it in just a few days.

Without hesitation, Shen Yun then picked up eight more 'cultivation techniques' from the table that seemed to offer easy shortcuts to level up and were somewhat feasible, and said to the shopkeeper, "I'll take all of these for one hundred source stones."

The stall owner immediately held out his hand and said with a grin, "100 source stones for five books, no bargaining."

Shen Yun turned and left; there were quite a few places in the market that sold this kind of thing.

"No, no, no! Sell, sell, sell!"

When the boss saw that Shen Yun was determined to leave, he panicked.

"Give me these two more copies."

Shen Yun picked out two more books, tossed down one hundred source stones, and turned to go to another place.

After visiting several stalls and spending six hundred source stones, they selected a large number of semi-finished cultivation techniques.

There are practices like the Vajra Sutra, which can be practiced simply by basking in the sun, as well as many other methods that seem easy to progress through, such as the Gentle Water Technique, the Gold-Eating Method, and the Iron Armor Technique.

Among them were quite a few relatively complete methods, which Shen Yun bought to use for inspiration in his spare time.

Jian Chunzhenyi is able to enter a state of enlightenment similar to a "brainstorming" session. The more methods he understands, the easier it is for him to be inspired.

By drawing on the strengths of many schools of thought, he was destined to take this path.

After Shen Yun finished his purchase, the three of them didn't stay in the black market for long before turning around and heading straight back to the Holy City.

Instead of going straight home, he took his two senior brothers to Shengchunlou Restaurant for a meal.

I can't let these two senior brothers make the trip for nothing. I should at least treat them to a meal as a token of my respect.

态度还是要有的.

The two senior brothers enjoyed their meal very much; they might not have stayed for the meal if it were other disciples.

However, Fairy Qingzhi showed great respect for Shen Yun, and since they had also found out that Shen Yun was a disciple of Feng Zhen, they naturally gave him face.

After bidding farewell to the two, Shen Yun boarded a dragon-scale carriage by the roadside.

No. 18, Qianlongfang.

When Shen Yun returned home, he saw Mianzhi sweeping in the yard. After greeting her, he went back to his quiet room.

It's that exciting time again to take stock of our achievements.

First, he took out a pile of books he had bought from the Void Bag and placed them to one side of himself.

We can deal with these things slowly; there's no rush.

Then they opened Bai Yan'er's Void Bag and found that it contained quite a few things.

There are many basic alchemy classics, as well as some ancient scrolls on weapon crafting, and a jade slip.

These can fill the book collection at home.

Next came the big part: Shen Yun's attention was drawn to the three weapons in the void bag, all of which exuded the aura of runes.

One bow and two swords.

"Bai Yan'er said she obtained a level 5 forged battle weapon, I wonder if it's true or not!"

Shen Yun couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

It should be noted that the materials used in the fifth-level forged battle weapon are at least of the rarest and most precious quality.

Gold can withstand a maximum of ten thousand forgings, and ten thousand forgings of refined gold can be used to forge four types of precious artifacts.

At most, ten thousand strands of silver can be used to forge three types of precious artifacts.

The most famous five-forging material in the Holy City is the Wanren Scale Gold Mine from the Scale Gold Mine vein in the Golden Rock Mountains.

The scales of gold are thousands of feet high, and can be forged into second-level treasures without refining. The limit of ten thousand forgings is a sixth-level treasure.

A standard piece of scale gold (12 centimeters in length, width, and height) is worth 1,000 Origin Stones.

A piece of Thousand-Blade Scale Gold, capable of forging five-fold treasures, is worth millions of source stones.

Although Shen Yun didn't think Bai Yan'er could really get such a good thing, he couldn't help but have some expectations.

Shen Yun took out the bow, weighed it in his hand, and found it to be only a few hundred pounds.

His qi and blood probed into it; it was made of refined gold forged hundreds of times, and he immediately made a judgment: "A second-level forged treasure!"

Aside from the legendary divine metal that can be weighed at will, weight is the most important factor in determining the grade of a treasure.

A single forged treasure weapon, as long as it's not too large, typically weighs around fifty pounds after being forged from mithril and refined gold.

The second forging yields approximately 500 jin, and the third forging yields approximately 5,000 jin.

Not absolutely. For example, Shen Yun's Dragon Halberd weighs 1,200 jin, which is about twice the weight of other halberds of the same level.

Because it is eight feet long, it requires a lot of materials, hence its weight.

Shen Yun then took out a silver-white sword, which weighed about several tens of kilograms.

There's no need to probe into the blood and qi; this is just a first-forged treasure.

He focused his last gaze on the gleaming golden longsword, activated his breathing technique to empower himself, and took it out of his pouch.

Suddenly, his hand felt heavy, and Shen Yun couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on his face.

The fact that he could lift it meant that it was definitely not made of the fifth-grade forged treasure material; it must have weighed at least 500,000 jin.

Shen Yun held it in his hand and weighed it: "Damn, it's not even 50,000 jin."

This means even four levels of forging are unlikely to be successful!

When you probe your blood and qi into it, you immediately feel that it is indeed different from ordinary refined gold. The flow of blood and qi is smoother, as if it has fine scale patterns.

This should be a material of the "hundred-foot scale gold" grade.

"If the entire sword is like this, it would be worth 100,000 source stones." Shen Yun was somewhat excited.

Unfortunately, before he could even probe in half of his blood and qi, the silky smoothness of the hundred-thousand-scale gold instantly turned into the sluggishness of the thousand-refined gold.

It is the material for three-fold forging of precious artifacts.

"You beast!"

Shen Yun held the longsword in his hand, speechless, and cursed inwardly.

It's like a gold-plated silver bracelet from a past life.

"Is this the five-forged battle weapon that Bai Yan'er obtained during her treasure hunt a while ago? She really is a complete fraud. That cave was fake too, just to lure people there."

Shen Yun guessed that this sword was a prop sword, used many times to fool countless people.

Fortunately, it was an unexpected windfall, so he quickly calmed down.

At least it was covered in gold, which immediately increased the sword's value.

It's definitely a top-quality item among the three-forged treasures, and it's worth 30,000 to 50,000 source stones.

"Thirty to fifty thousand source stones is not a small amount; it's all I have in the world."

Shen Yun's spirits lifted again.

Three-fold forged treasures are already very precious; many poor Blood Sea Realm cultivators still use three-fold forged treasures.

One should know how to be content; for him, this was already a huge gain, doubling his wealth.

What's more, there are the more than 130 portions of auxiliary materials obtained from Bai Yan'er, that's the real bulk of the money!

Each set of auxiliary materials costs at least 300 Origin Stones to purchase, so the cost of these 130 sets of auxiliary materials is 40,000 Origin Stones!

"No, there are also more than twenty other payments. After I found out she was a demon, I kept delaying paying her the final payment!" Shen Yun suddenly remembered.

Bai Yan'er, what a kind person!

All in all, the profit was nearly 100,000 Origin Stones.

The profits are simply enormous!

"Does a demon spy have such a large fortune?"

Shen Yun couldn't help but feel puzzled; it was two or three times his net worth.

Actually, that's not the case. The main reason is that Shen Yun really did drain Bai Yan'er's lifeblood.

It not only drained all her resources, but also all the resources she could mobilize that she had overdrawn, turning them into more than 130 auxiliary materials.

Otherwise, Bai Yan'er's net worth would be at most thirty to forty thousand source stones!

Aside from these things, Bai Yan'er didn't have many other valuable items in her void bag, just some pills and a little over three thousand source stones.

Some miscellaneous women's products are not worth much anymore.

"Bai Yan'er has spent all her source stones collecting materials for Heavenly Skill?!"

The source stones didn't match her wealth, so Shen Yun could only guess that.

But it's okay, he's happy to get so much for free.

He emptied the contents of the Void Bag, burned the woman's clothes, and put anything of value into his own Void Bag.

After trying out the Hundred-Ren Gold-Padded Sword, a three-times-forged treasure, Shen Yun had essentially upgraded his weapon.

However, he still prefers heavy, long weapons with wide, sweeping movements, rather than the Dragon Halberd, which is easier to use.

Shen Yun thought to himself, "I'll upgrade the Dragon Halberd when I have more money later. I'll keep them for now."

His assassination technique, the Swift Light and Shadow Slash, is still more convenient to use with a sword.

After taking stock of the spoils, he turned his attention to the books on the side.

Start watching the exercises I bought today, get ready to strike it rich.

"The Great Sun Vajra absorbs the essence of the sun to condense its Vajra skin membrane; it's best to refine it around noon..."

Shen Yun began to study it with great interest.

After a while, he put down his book, went to the training ground, and began to practice under the sun.

This method is also a work in progress. The eighteen postures are relatively complete, but the breathing techniques and mental cultivation methods are incomplete.

Perhaps it was a method created by a cultivator at the Blood Sea Realm or even the Perfected Body Nourishment Realm in a moment of inspiration.

After improvements were made, it was found that the level was too low, so no further in-depth exploration was conducted.

There are many such examples.

When Shen Yun practiced the Nine Strikes of Heaven, he sometimes felt as if he had grasped the essence of halberd techniques.

If an ordinary person were to practice this, they wouldn't necessarily go into a state of demonic possession, but they would definitely experience a surge of qi and blood, resulting in injuries to their bones and muscles.

The idea is lofty, but in reality it's only at the level of a technique.

Shen Yun bought it, wanting to conduct an experiment to see if he could complete it using his own Jian Chun True Meaning.

To restore some of the power and advantages of the Dharma.

After all, if sunbathing can increase progress, it won't waste much time for him.

After mastering the eighteen postures, Shen Yun began to study the breathing techniques and mental cultivation methods.

Finally, his thoughts settled into his mind, and he contemplated the true meaning of Jian Chun.

"Huh, this method is actually considered merit!"

Shen Yun searched through the branches and leaves for a long time, but couldn't find the method representing the "Great Sun Vajra Mantra".

After careful observation, it was finally found in the rootstock below.

A rootstock that has not yet emerged, with only a small protrusion below the main stem.

This is a sign that you have mastered the technique, but haven't yet entered the realm of it.

By using the true meaning of Jian Chun, one can gather the power of the entire tree and promote the emergence of this root.

Shen Yun understood that the entire Jian Chun True Meaning was his "insights" from his cultivation, similar to "data".

Jian Chunzhenyi's existence is like a supercomputer, which can use all of his "data" as nourishment to fully deduce a method.

To help perfect the Dharma or assist beginners in improving their skills.

The more powerful the method, the more difficult it is.

This is why Shen Yun bought a large number of unfinished cultivation techniques.

To fill in the information for Jian Chun's true meaning, a large amount of information was provided.

Perhaps in the future, it could become a flash of inspiration, leading to success through unconventional means.

Moreover, Shen Yun can begin to refine these methods by using true meaning, thus achieving cyclical progress.

"Deduction!"

Shen Yun held his breath and focused all his thoughts on the small protrusion that represented the "Great Sun Vajra Mantra".

Instantly, all the vitality of Jianchun Zhenyi converged here!

Promote the growth and development of this protrusion.

A burst of inspiration struck Shen Yun, his thoughts flowing freely, and he became exceptionally clear-headed.

"The mental techniques and breathing methods also need improvement, and more emphasis should be placed on the circulation of Qi and blood so that it can function properly... There are also errors in the postures, and the last two postures should be adjusted... Otherwise, it is necessary to practice naked... It is better to wear as little as possible..."

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Shen Yun regained consciousness amidst a wave of dizziness, almost collapsing to the ground.

He quickly took out a Spirit Nourishing Pill from his empty bag and swallowed it, which improved the effect somewhat.

"Not bad, I'm now able to cultivate, and I've even evolved the postures to twenty-six forms!"

"It's at least better than the Rolling Stones!"

Shen Yun's eyes lit up, and he spun the device slightly in the sunlight.

【Mahavairocana Vajra Mantra (Beginner 1/10)】

Become!

He successfully completed a half-finished cultivation technique.

Shen Yun relaxed and lay down on the training ground. Ten minutes later...

【Mahavairocana Vajra Mantra (Beginner 2/10)】

"It's true that sunbathing can speed up progress."

Feeling his skin warm up slightly, the heat hammering against his skin, a smile appeared on Shen Yun's lips.

This proved that his idea was feasible.

There are also many other methods that can be practiced and perfected, such as the Gentle Water Technique, the Metal-Eating Method, and the Iron Armor Skill.

When you're soaking in water, wearing an iron suit and sunbathing, with an iron ingot in your mouth, won't your progress increase by leaps and bounds?

Based on this principle, another method for absorbing lunar essence can be derived.

Gradually improve your understanding of the Dharma.
