Trading the heavens starting from immortality

Chapter 59 Group Members (2) Xiong Ba: The "Little Treasury" is almost burned out!

The world of Jade Dynasty.

Qingyun Mountain, behind Dazhu Peak.

An eleven or twelve-year-old boy is vigorously chopping a bamboo stalk about the thickness of a thumb, with black sections, using a machete.

This bamboo is extremely hard, seemingly a rare species. When the machete was used to cut it, it only left a white mark.

The boy was panting heavily from exhaustion, and then sat down to rest on a blue stone.

"Phew! I never expected that the cultivation technique I uploaded would actually catch the group owner's eye!"

Zhang Xiaofan said happily.

Two days ago, on a whim, he uploaded the mantra of the Great Brahma Prajna.

After being taken to Qingyun Mountain, he and Lin Jingyu entered the Qingyun Sect.

The Qingyun Sect has seven branches: Tongtian Peak, Longshou Peak, Dazhu Peak, Xiaozhu Peak, Fenghui Peak, Chaoyang Peak, and Luoxia Peak.

Lin Jingyu was accepted as a disciple by Cangsong Daoren, the chief monk of Longshou Peak.

He then became a disciple of Tian Buyi, the head monk of Dazhu Peak.

The population of Dazhufeng is sparse.

Tian Buyi had only seven disciples: his eldest brother Song Daren, followed by Wu Dayi, Zheng Dali, and He Dazhi.

Lü Daxin, Du Bishu, and Tian Ling'er. Among them, Tian Ling'er is only 13 years old and is the daughter of the chief, Tian Buyi.

He himself became the eighth disciple of the chief disciple.

The eldest disciple, Song Daren, was responsible for teaching him the sect rules and imparting his skills.

The disciple who had just entered Dazhu Peak three months ago was required to cut bamboo on the back mountain of Dazhu Peak every day. Because he was young, he only needed to cut one black bamboo per day.

The first time Zhang Xiaofan found a black bamboo stalk about the thickness of a thumb.

After cutting it, he realized that the bamboo was incredibly hard. Even after cutting for two hours, using every possible method and sweating profusely, he had only managed to make a small cut in the bamboo.

And so, Zhang Xiaofan began his cultivation life on Dazhu Peak.

Under the guidance of his senior brother Song Daren, he began to learn the first level of the Qingyun Sect's Qi cultivation technique, "Taiji Xuanqing Dao".

The first level of cultivation requires meditation, opening the mind and spirit. Open all the pores of the body to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, circulating it throughout the body in a grand cycle, thereby comprehending the creation of heaven and earth. After circulating the energy for thirty-six times, one can stabilize one's meridians and then break through to a higher realm.

However, Zhang Xiaofan soon encountered a problem.

He encountered a divine monk from Tianyin Temple who imparted to him a thousand-character mantra, instructing him to practice it daily.

However, this mantra is completely opposite to the profound meaning of the first level of "Taiji Xuanqing Dao", and can be described as going against the grain!

This thousand-character mantra requires severing all connections between oneself and the outside world during the practice, entering a state of tranquility, and realizing one's true nature.

For the next two months, he practiced these two sets of techniques while cutting down black bamboo regardless of the weather.

However, having just achieved some success in the first level of the "Taiji Xuanqing Dao," which allows one to draw spiritual energy into the body, one must then close the pores and enter a state of stillness, rendering all previous efforts almost futile.

This caused Zhang Xiaofan great distress.

Then, Zhang Xiaofan remembered the "All-Heavens Trading Group" in his mind.

Perhaps this mysterious trading group can help him get out of his predicament.

However, without points, you can't buy anything.

So Zhang Xiaofan sold the incantation passed down by the divine monk of "Tianyin Temple" for "2000 points".

It was eventually bought by the mysterious "group owner" today.

Sitting on the rock, Zhang Xiaofan pondered in his mind.

"With 2000 points, I can buy two White Yang Pills sold by the group owner. I'll eat one, and give the other to Brother Jingtian. The rest can be used in the Enlightenment Space; perhaps it can help me resolve the conflict between my cultivation techniques."

Zhang Xiaofan thought to himself.

In the group, he had become good friends with "[Dreaming of becoming the richest man in Chongqing!]" more than a month ago, and the two got along very well.

Zhang Xiaofan also knew about the Jing Tian brothers' situation. Although he dreamed of becoming the richest man in Yuzhou, he also longed to become a great hero. It seemed that he had been taken in as a disciple by some master, which was why he wanted the elixir!

So Zhang Xiaofan immediately bought two "White Yang Pills" in the "Trading Mall", and sent one of them privately to Jing Tian.

Zhang Xiaofan: "Brother Jingtian, here's your 'White Yang Pill,' take it quickly!"

Jing Tian and his brother: Xiao Fan, I hereby declare you my real father! When I become successful in the future, I will definitely repay you handsomely! (So touching!!!)

Zhang Xiaofan: ...

After chatting with Brother Jingtian for a while, Zhang Xiaofan ordered a package in the Enlightenment Space: "10 points/5000 days/2000%". After a discount of 0.1%, the total cost was 1 million points, but he only paid 1000 points.

According to the classification of the Enlightenment Space, his original aptitude was the lowest level, "Foolish Man." After ordering the package, his aptitude suddenly increased by 20 times, lasting for 5000 days. This should be able to help him solve the problem of slow cultivation.

"5000 days, 20 times the aptitude—I refuse to believe I can't successfully cultivate both techniques simultaneously!"

Zhang Xiaofan thought to himself that he had an innate tenacity that refused to admit defeat.

The moment he paid the points, the whole world seemed to change in Zhang Xiaofan's eyes.

His thinking speed is incredibly fast, two to three times faster than before. Things he couldn't understand before are quickly recalled in his mind, and his memory has greatly improved. He can remember almost anything after just a few glances.

The first level of the *Taiji Xuanqing Dao* made controlling the opening and closing of pores ten times easier for him; he could open and close them with ease. He could also easily enter a state of "tranquility" and practice the *Great Brahma Prajna*...

"Could it be that I've become a genius?"

Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed.

"I heard from Senior Brother Da Ren that the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament of our Qingyun Sect is just a few years away. At that time, the young disciples of the seven peaks of Qingyun will be able to participate in the competition. I wonder what it will be like!"

A world of turmoil.

The World Association.

"Wen Chou Chou, how's the matter of putting you in charge of collecting grain going?"

Above the main hall, Xiong Ba calmly looked at his subordinates, exuding an aura as majestic as a mountain.

"Reporting to the Chief! I'm doing my best to get the grain merchants in Jiangnan to allocate grain. This time, we should be able to get about 1000 million catties of grain!"

A man wearing a tall, pointed hat, holding a leaf-shaped folding fan, dressed in brightly colored clothes, and with a feminine demeanor said.

"Alright, get this grain to the World Society headquarters as soon as possible. I have a very important use for it! If any of these grain merchants dare to cheat or shirk their duties, contact the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi and kill them outright!"

Xiong Ba said calmly.

With a single word, he decided the fate of many.

"yes!"

Although he was puzzled as to why his gang leader was repeatedly requisitioning large quantities of grain, Wen Chou Chou dared not ask any questions.

Curiosity killed the cat.

Moreover, this gang leader seems to have made another breakthrough in martial arts. Could it be that he has reached the Innate Grandmaster realm?

A master of the Innate Realm in his thirties—this is simply shocking to everyone in the martial arts world!

"Step down!"

"promise."

After Wen Chou Chou left, Xiong Ba felt somewhat melancholy.

Although the World Alliance occupies the wealthy Jiangnan region and almost controls half of the martial arts world, there is still the "Peerless City" in the north. The city lord of Peerless City, Dugu Yifang, is also a veteran grandmaster, and the famous "Sword Saint" in the martial arts world also comes from Peerless City.

In comparison, the Tianxiahui's foundation is still too shallow!

"However, with the All-Heavens Trading Group, our World Alliance will surely be able to unify the world. Given time, we might even be able to rival the First Emperor, Ying Zheng!"

A hint of ambition flickered in Xiong Ba's tiger-like eyes.

The First Emperor Ying Zheng truly lived up to his reputation as an emperor who unified the world; he was indeed incredibly wealthy!

Since joining the group, this person has spent nearly a million points. Last time, he almost bought up all the "monster" corpses that the group owner was selling. You should know that was nearly 24 points!

Not to mention that he has already spent hundreds of thousands of points just on purchasing "Millennium Crane Saliva".

After these recent expenditures, Xiong Ba is truly strapped for cash! The World Society's coffers are almost empty!

After ordering "Enlightenment Space"

After the 1000 million points/50 days/200% package, although this order only cost 50 points due to the discount, it still left him with very few points.

Without points, how will he continue to dominate the group and be the most powerful?
