Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

Chapter 170 Buying the Body Tempering Pill

The saleswoman smiled, then shook her head again, seemingly indifferent.

Seeing this, Chen Han was somewhat moved. His eyes flickered, and after a moment's hesitation, he asked Ruyu, "Fairy Ruyu, does your shop still buy back immortal items?"

"Of course, we are both buyers and sellers, and we buy back and sell according to market prices."

Upon hearing this, Chen Han had a sudden thought, and an object flew out of his storage bag and landed in his hand.

"Fairy Ruyu, how many spirit stones do you think this talisman of mine is worth?"

"Hmm? Fellow Daoist Chen, I didn't realize you possessed such talismans!"

Ling Xiaohu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"This is..."

Ruyu took the talisman from Chen Han and examined it carefully in her hand.

"This is actually a flying sword talisman. This kind of talisman is really rare, and it's not badly worn either, hmm..."

Ru Yu pondered for a moment, now considering what price to offer for this flying sword talisman.

Finally, she parted her lips slightly and said, "A brand new flying sword talisman usually costs around ten spirit stones. When fully activated, it can rival a low-grade initial-level magic weapon. Although your flying sword talisman has been used, fortunately, the wear and tear is not significant."

"How about we buy it for seven spirit stones?"

Flying sword talismans are a type of talisman. When used, users only need basic mana to unleash power at level eight or higher. Compared to true low-grade magic weapons, they consume less mana and are more convenient. Crucially, their power is not bad either.

This is definitely a powerful weapon for cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining, allowing them to gain an edge over their peers.

Such practical and rare talismans are often hard to find in lesser-known markets, and although Qingzhu Market is not one of them, this still shows how outstanding this talisman is.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I advise you to think this over carefully. This talisman is a rare treasure... You've just arrived in the world of cultivation and have nothing on you. This will be your life-saving weapon."

Ling Xiaohu tugged at Chen Han's arm and tried to persuade him.

"It's alright. Tomorrow is the Ascension Ceremony anyway. I'm confident I can get into a major sect."

Chen Han smiled calmly, appearing somewhat naive.

He was naturally aware of this matter. The flying sword talisman was indeed a divine weapon for him now. However, what Ling Xiaohu did not know was that he also possessed a real sword-shaped magic weapon, namely Su Zhenyue's low-grade initial-level magic weapon.

Compared to this, the advantage of the flying sword talisman is somewhat limited, its only advantage being that it consumes less mana.

As for power, he is now proficient in the Sword Control Technique, so he naturally has no shortage of it.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, have you thought this through?"

Just as Chen Han was about to agree to sell, Ling Xiaohu stopped him.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ling, I have my own plans."

"Fellow Daoist Ruyu, please help me exchange it for spirit stones."

Ruyu smiled sweetly, "No problem."

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Ruyu raised her hand and placed the spirit stone on the counter.

With a wave of his hand, Chen Han put all the spirit stones into his storage bag.

He then walked over to the young female cultivator at the counter who seemed a bit flustered.

The girl's face hardened with wariness, her lips pursed, and she took two steps back, her legs bound in leggings. "What do you want to do? This is Su Yu Sect territory!"

"No need to be nervous. I'm just interested in the Body Tempering Pill you have. I wonder if you could sell it to me? I'm willing to buy it at market price."

"what?"

The girl was immediately bewildered.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you crazy? You could throw these spirit stones into water and make a splash, why buy these useless pills!"

Ling Xiaohu said with disappointment.

The two fairies from Suyu Sect standing beside him looked at Chen Han with curiosity in their eyes, wondering what he wanted the Body Tempering Pill for.

Could it be that he just wants to flirt with a young girl who hasn't even fully grown up yet? What a unique little quirk.

"Oh? Why are these pills useless? Aren't they supposed to improve cultivation?"

Chen Han countered with a question.

"To improve cultivation, that's for burly body cultivators. Even if you... wait, could it be..."

"What's wrong? I am a body cultivator. Although I can't be described as big and burly, I am indeed a body cultivator."

""

Chen Han, being outspoken, readily admitted it.

There's nothing that can't be said. Body cultivators haven't broken any heavenly laws; they're just a bit weaker, so why worry about it?

After speaking, Chen Han looked at the young female cultivator in front of him.

The latter's face lit up with joy, and she immediately responded in a sweet and melodious voice.

"The market price is seven spirit stones, but you can give me six, senior."

Chen Han used his magic power with two fingers, and seven spirit stones appeared in his hand. He handed them to the wide-eyed female cultivator, and then put the pill bottle into his pocket.

"The market price is the market price."

Chen Han smiled calmly, his eyes undisturbed, as if it were nothing more than a trivial matter.

"Fellow Daoist Chen..."

Ling Xiaohu was somewhat taken aback and puzzled. He didn't understand why Chen Han would choose the path of body cultivation.

That's right, he looks down on body cultivators. Body cultivators are inferior and in the cultivation world, they are either laborers, followers, servants, or breeding tools for cultivation families.

This wasn't because he was arrogant; it was simply the consensus in the cultivation world regarding body cultivation. It's like the saying, "Like begets like," or "A rat's son knows how to dig a hole."

Therefore, no normal person would engage in self-cultivation.

Of course, it's not that there are no outstanding individuals among body cultivators, but the probability is extremely low. Those who can rise to prominence are almost entirely those born into powerful sects.

Furthermore, why is someone as calculating as him, who just bowed down for half a spirit stone, suddenly so generous to a strange little girl?

Haha, he really is a nice guy.

Thinking this, Ling Xiaohu gave Chen Han a sarcastic look.

At this moment, the two Jade Gate sales fairies standing to the side also found it amusing, and a hint of amusement and contempt flashed in their eyes as they looked at Chen Han, but it was gone in an instant.

Body cultivators are few and far between in their Su Yu Sect, and they are all outstanding individuals among body cultivators. However, even the resources for cultivation within the sect depend on risking one's life, and all the dirty and tiring work is assigned to them.

Furthermore, one is forbidden from engaging in dual cultivation with female fellow disciples; if discovered, the consequence is execution. Calling one a cultivator is less accurate than calling one a servant.

It's no wonder they have a prejudice against body cultivators.

"Really?! Thank you, senpai! Thank you so much!"

The young female cultivator showed no sign of distress; her eyes shone brightly with joy and gratitude as she repeatedly thanked Chen Han.

"It's just a normal transaction, you can leave now."

"Senior, could you tell me your name? I will definitely repay you if I have the chance in the future."

Chen Han didn't even glance at her. He turned around and carefully selected the many talismans that Ru Yu had brought out, ignoring her completely.

The girl was taken aback, hesitated, and finally gave Chen Han a deep look before leaving.
