Cultivating Immortality: I Can See the Script of Life

Although Wan Yi had only sewn up one corpse, he had gained some experience.

The feel of this corpse was clearly off.

Wan Yi reached out and began to feel around the broken leg.

"Sizzle!"

The corpse's skin was torn open, and a translucent white jade slip emerged from the flesh, gleaming with a faint spiritual light.

It's a jade slip!

Wan Yi instantly perked up, pried the jade slip out, and examined it carefully in his hands.

In the world of cultivation, some profound techniques and spells are not recorded on paper, but mostly stored on jade slips, which are not easily damaged.

However, only cultivators can read the jade slip.

At the very least, one must be a cultivator of embryonic breathing, having cultivated spiritual consciousness, to be able to read it.

Wan Yi dared not delay and quickly released his spiritual sense, carefully probing into the jade slip.

The next moment, dense scriptures flooded his mind. They were obscure and difficult to understand, but they were the very "Azure Terracotta Warrior Suppressing Evil Mystic Art" that he had been longing for.

Wan Yi was overjoyed.

As expected, it was this very cultivation technique!

Wan Yi quickly began browsing the contents of the cultivation technique.

Like the "Great Method of Nourishing Corpses and Refining Puppets," the "Azure Puppet Suppressing Evil Technique" is a cultivation method of the Earth element. It can gather mid-grade spiritual energy from the Azure Puppet Suppressing Evil Energy and can be used to cultivate the Immortal Foundation [Shadow Azure Puppet].

Cultivating this technique will make your physical body extremely strong. Even without activating your magic power, you can still go toe-to-toe with other cultivators of the same level just by relying on your physical strength.

Once the profound technique is activated, the physical body will turn bluish-black, and the strength will increase dramatically.

But Wan Yi frowned.

He possesses a powerful physical body and the ability to refine his body.

Wouldn't it be even better if those who practiced this technique were turned into corpse puppets?

Moreover, according to the script, as long as one practices this technique, there is a high probability that one will eventually be turned into a corpse puppet.

Thinking of this, Wan Yi couldn't help but chuckle.

Hmph, the technique is good, but it's impossible for me to cultivate it!

I can't risk my life. I should find an opportunity to sell this jade slip to the sect or to disciples who urgently need mid-grade true techniques, in exchange for a large amount of contribution points.

Wan Yi copied down the contents of the technique, then focused his mind and began to stitch up the corpse again.

……

The next morning, Wan Yi hurriedly headed towards the Corpse Puppet Hall with the copied cultivation technique in his hand.

He had already thoroughly investigated the channels for selling the martial arts techniques.

Within the Azure Sea Sect, there are two ways to manifest one's cultivation technique.

They either sell to a sect or trade privately.

But even a fool would know that selling to a sect would be safer, since there are too many pitfalls in private transactions and it's easy to attract unwanted attention.

For disciples of the Demonic Sect, murder and robbery are practically standard practice.

Wan Yi didn't want to take that risk.

Moreover, few people would dare to buy in private transactions.

Cultivation techniques are related to the foundation of cultivation. If you buy a fake cultivation technique, you will have nowhere to turn when problems arise during cultivation.

The sect's acquisition policy is to only accept cultivation techniques that are not yet included in the sect's records.

While it won't be as ruthless as the price-cutting of spiritual materials, it definitely won't be a high-priced buyout. At most, it will be the same price as when a disciple buys a cultivation technique of the same level from the sect.

As for not buying out cultivation techniques, that's because the sect doesn't allow its disciples to sell techniques privately.

Even cultivation techniques purchased from within the sect can be traded privately.

The reason for this is simply that the disciples are no match for the sect.

No one would be foolish enough to ignore the sect's genuine products and buy a disciple's dubious cultivation technique.

Even if it's from a sect, what if a few words in the cultivation technique were changed? If you go into qi deviation, you're doomed!

This is why disciples with extra cultivation techniques often have no choice but to obediently sell them to the sect, allowing the sect to buy them back at a fair price without any repercussions.

This is an open conspiracy!

Wan Yi quickly arrived at the second floor of the Corpse Puppet Hall.

This is also where sects acquire cultivation techniques and spells.

Walking up to the counter, Wan Yi whispered, "Senior brother, I want to buy a mid-grade true technique."

Upon hearing this, the disciple behind the counter suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise on his face. His eyes swept over Wan Yi, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

After all, mid-grade true techniques are not common. It's hard not to be curious that a disciple at the early stage of embryonic breathing could offer a mid-grade true technique for sale.

But he didn't ask any more questions.

When sects acquire cultivation techniques, they never ask about their origins; as long as it's not yet included in their records, they'll buy it.

The disciple in charge said in a calm tone, "Let me take a look at the name of the cultivation technique."

Wan Yi quickly handed over the copied document.

The disciple in charge did not open the book, but only looked at the name.

"The Mysterious Art of Suppressing Evil with Green Terracotta Warriors? Let me look it up."

"Yes, this technique is indeed not available within the sect."

After saying that, he stood up and gestured to Wan Yi: "Junior brother, come this way and sit for a while. The cultivation technique needs to be sent to check its authenticity and assess its value. Please wait a moment."

Wan Yi nodded hurriedly and followed closely behind the disciple in charge into the room next door.

Not long after I sat down, and after only drinking half a cup of tea, the door was pushed open.

Someone walked in.

The newcomer was a cultivator with completely white hair and beard, his face showing signs of vicissitude, yet he appeared to be only middle-aged.

Wan Yi glanced at the other party's panel and instantly understood the situation.

Name: Wen Jing

[Talent: Average Aptitude (Green), Unwavering Perseverance (White)]

[Cultivation Level: Early Stage of Qi Refining]

[Fate: Supporting Role in "Respect for the Dead"]

Wan Yi wasn't surprised that his opponent was at the Qi Refining Realm.

Unlike other places in the outer sect, the Corpse Puppet Hall is mostly managed by inner sect senior uncles.

I never expected that the other person would also be a supporting character in "The Dead Are the Great".

Although he may not be directly connected with Qian Zhuo, he at least appeared in the script.

Wan Yi quickly stood up and bowed.

Wen Jing's gaze fell on Wan Yi, and when he realized that Wan Yi only had the cultivation level of the early stage of fetal breathing, he raised his eyebrows slightly, showing some surprise.

But he didn't ask any more questions. He simply walked straight up to Wan Yi and said in a calm tone, "There are some problems with your 'Azure Terracotta Warrior Suppressing Evil Mystic Art.' It has been tampered with. Once you start practicing it, you will gradually become a corpse puppet. If you want to practice normally, you will have to make some improvements."

Wan Yi's smile froze, and he quickly asked, "So, the sect won't accept this cultivation technique anymore?"

Wen Jing's tone remained calm: "No, of course I'll accept it."

"It's just that the technique has flaws, so the price will be a bit lower."

Wan Yi quickly pressed on, "Then...how much contribution can I get?"

He was already mentally prepared to have the price reduced.

Wen Jing glanced at him and uttered a few words indifferently: "3400 contribution points."

"Bring me your disciple's jade token."

3400 contributions?!

Wan Yi was surprised and almost thought he had misheard.

The mid-grade True Techniques sold in the Corpse Puppet Hall generally cost between one thousand and ten thousand contribution points.

The "Azure Terracotta Warrior Suppressing Evil Mystic Art" can actually sell for 3400 contribution points, even with its flaws.

Therefore, the flawless "Azure Terracotta Warrior Suppressing Evil Mystic Technique" should be considered to be at an upper-middle level among mid-grade true techniques.

Wan Yi didn't dare to delay and quickly took out his disciple's jade token from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master. This is my jade token."

Wen Jing took the jade tablet, tapped it with his fingertip, and a flash of light appeared, instantly updating the contribution number on the jade tablet.

Wan Yi quickly took the jade pendant and examined it.

4328 contributions.
