960 Purging Evil and Defending Righteousness (1/2)

No matter how she put it, being able to encounter a Primordial Soul Realm cultivator was the same as having a huge customer in her shop. The most important matter was to let the other party purchase something from her shop, and translate it into her physical performance.

”Oh, you still have some precious treasures hidden away. Then, let's have a look.” Mo Wen nodded his head. He was free and had nothing urgent to do after all.

Very quickly, Yu Lan brought out a few boxes made from jade from a secret chamber and placed them before Mo Wen.

”Sir, the items within these boxes are the most valuable in our little shop. If they don't catch your eye, then I, Yu Lan, can only watch as a huge customer such as yourself slips away in front of my eyes,” Yu Lan said, half-jokingly. As she said this, she opened the first jade box. There were five crystal beads inside.

”Inheritance Pearls?” Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. He only had some understanding of these Inheritance Pearls and knew they were rather valuable.

As the name suggested, Inheritance Pearls were used for inheritance. They could record things to be inherited by others, such as remarkable secret techniques, deception techniques, manufacturing methods, alchemy techniques, and so on. These could all be inherited through this method.

The specialty of the Inheritance Pearl was that it could more deeply and holistically record this inheritance. For example, some deep stratagems were too advanced, and it was difficult to explain everything in one go. One could not learn it even by being taught hands-on. If it were inherited in writing, it would be even more like a divine scripture that no one could understand at all.

As for the Inheritance Pearl, it could record the cultivating process, mechanisms, sensations, and even the tiniest of energy waves of a remarkable power clearly in it. With the help of the Inheritance Pearl, the practitioners could do more with less when mastering secret techniques.

”Can I have a look at these?”

The five Inheritance Pearls before Mo Wen piqued his interest. Ordinary martial art teachings secret techniques were not qualified to be recorded in Inheritance Pearls at all. Things that would be recorded in Inheritance Pearls were remarkable techniques at least at the level of the Primordial Soul Realm.

Although when compared with Primordial Soul Pearls, Inheritance Pearls were far inferior and were not as perfect as Primordial Soul Pearls, it was not easy to create such Inheritance Pearls. Only by being somewhat familiar with the remarkable power or secret techniques and having trained in them to the point of mastery could one record what they had learned into the Inheritance Pearl.

Hence, for cultivators, Inheritance Pearls were rather precious items. Mo Wen had not imagined that this Imperial Treasury had five of them.

”You may feel free to have a look. Each Inheritance Pearl is equipped with a limiter. Only by obtaining the secret key can one access all of the contents inside,” Yu Lan said with a smile.

Each Inheritance Pearl could only be used once. After being used, it was utterly useless. That was why Inheritance Pearls were precious. Because the Inheritance Pearl would self destruct if any force was applied on it, she was not worried that Mo Wen would forcefully obtain the contents inside them. Only she held the secret keys. Without them, no one could access the Inheritance Pearl's wisdom.

”Three rites of passage-level low-grade remarkable powers, one alchemy technique, and one Thirty-two Stratagems Manuscript.”

Mo Wen released his deified soul and scanned the Inheritance Pearls to know the rough contents inside of them. Three rites of passage-level low-grade remarkable powers were just the most common of the remarkable powers. They were on the same level as his Cold Ice Domain and Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm. To him, they were of no interest.

The rite of passage-level secret techniques was a transition phase for the Heavenly Path remarkable powers. They were suitable for the Primordial Soul Realm cultivators to cultivate them. For the Primordial Soul Realm, which was just the first step to pursuing the Heavenly Path, the secret techniques mastered at this level could not be considered the beginning of the Heavenly Path.

The Heavenly Path remarkable powers were above the rite of passage-level secret techniques. More precisely, the Heavenly Path remarkable powers were truly remarkable powers.

As for the Heavenly Path remarkable powers, they were categorized into three levels: the small path, middle path, and big path.

Mo Wen's Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift was a small path remarkable power and were also not outstanding among small path remarkable powers. It was because they were further divided into seven ranks. The difference between each rank was rather significant.

”Sir, are you satisfied with any one of them?” Yu Lan asked with a smile. These five Inheritance Pearls could be considered the absolute treasures of her shop. Even ordinary Primordial Soul Realm cultivators would not necessarily be able to afford them.

Knowledge was no burden. No one would complain about mastering too many remarkable powers. Remarkable power type Inheritance Pearls were the hottest commodities and were well sought out by Primordial Soul Realm Mighty Immortal Cultivators. As for weapon manufacturing, pill concoction, and stratagem types, these were slightly cheaper, but they were also hot products.

As the owner of the Imperial Treasury, she was not afraid of these treasures failing to catch Mo Wen's eyes; she was only worried that he could not afford them. Her shop was the pride of the Imperial Treasury, even if she only managed a very, very small branch.

”I am rather interested in this Thirty-two Stratagems Manuscript. What's the price?” Mo Wen asked.

He wasn't interested in the other three remarkable powers. As for alchemy techniques, he had received Ji Wuya's inheritance. So it was impossible for him to be interested in other alchemy techniques. However, all this while, Mo Wen only had a superficial knowledge of the deceptions. He had a rough understanding of plots based on Ji Wuya's inheritance. However, Ji Wuya himself was not proficient in stratagems. Ji Wuya could construct some simple scenarios, but his limitation would show when he encountered some slightly more profound schemes.

Mo Wen knew that he must understand the stratagems to survive in the Immortal Cultivation World. He did not necessarily need to become a master at schemes. That was the crystallization of talent and effort. Mo Wen did not believe that he could reach that level. However, he needed at least to have a common standard of understanding the stratagems. That way, when he fell into other people's plots in the future, he would not lose his bearings.

”The Thirty-two Stratagems Manuscript was written by a renowned senior. The secret stratagem techniques within it are not very advanced, but it contains the essence of stratagems. It is the most fundamental and practical item. Sir, if you are interested in it, I can give you a fair price of 150,000 spiritual stones.”

Yu Lan was somewhat surprised. This youth was not interested in the three rites of passage-level low-grade remarkable powers but was instead interested in stratagems. However, the Thirty-two Stratagems Manuscript secret techniques were indeed extraordinary. They came from the hands of an expert. It was just that the Inheritance Pearl created by this expert contained rather fundamental and straightforward things that he had learned in his lifetime. He did not pass down any advanced stratagems. Otherwise, this item would not end up in her hands.
