He appeared extremely patient, carefully reviewing each introduction.
Lacking sufficient silver money, he certainly needed to put in more effort to select, striving to get the job done with the least amount of silver money.
Barbarian Bull Technique: After cultivation, one could possess immense strength, having the force of a thousand catties.
A thousand catties of force was actually only equivalent to the Fivefold Mortal Realm.
No wonder this cultivation technique was only selling for two silver money.
However, for ordinary peasants, cultivating this technique could have certain benefits. When farming, one could directly use oneself as a beast of burden.
Iron Cloth Technique: A horizontal cultivation technique, after practice, one’s defensive ability greatly increases, equivalent to wearing a suit of iron armor.
…
He looked them over one by one, but had not yet found a cultivation technique that met his expectations.
Indeed, you get what you pay for; it’s impossible to get good quality for a cheap price.
When he reached the end of the bookshelf, an ancient scroll made of beast skin lay quietly under a glass dome.
His eyes instantly brightened.
The cultivation techniques on the bottom shelf were basically made of paper, with the occasional bamboo scroll being a rarity.
This beast skin scroll at first glance was clearly an antique.
He unconsciously looked at the price, only five silver money.
Cheap goods aren’t good quality; that’s the basic rule of the market.
This beast skin scroll appeared exceptional in quality, full of historical charm, but with such a low price tag, there must be a catch.
Qin Niu still decided to examine it closely.
Everlasting Spring Technique: A life-nurturing technique, after practice, it can nourish the vital energy, warm the spirit, and prolong one’s life. This technique is not suitable for combat, incomplete scroll.
Damn!
No wonder it was so cheap.
Who doesn’t practice with the goal of becoming a powerhouse, fighting against the heavens and earth, dominating in all directions? What use is a technique that doesn’t allow you to fight or beat others?
While others practiced to strive for power and plunder, Qin Niu aimed only for longevity.
He didn’t like fighting and killing.
He preferred a leisurely pastoral life more.
Farming, raising pets, cultivating—this was the life he aspired to.
This Everlasting Spring Technique was very much to his liking, and the price was quite suitable as well.
The only flaw was that it was only an incomplete scroll.
“Attendant Student, could you come over for a moment!”
Qin Niu was mimicking that young noble he had heard speak.
Being polite and courteous outside was quite necessary.
At least one wouldn’t get beaten for saying the wrong thing.
“Are you looking to buy this Everlasting Spring Technique?”
The Attendant Student might just be a worker in the cultivation technique shop, but he wore a gray long gown and bore the emblem of Yan Ruohai on his chest; it was a prestigious job.
Much better than being a farming peasant.
The work was easy, nine to five, with an income probably around five silver money per year.
And there was some room for advancement.
Every time new stock came into the cultivation technique shop, the internal staff had the opportunity to get the best deals. Those cheap quality techniques were definitely scooped up by them first.
“This is just an incomplete scroll, can it be a little less?”
Qin Niu wanted to bargain a bit.
“Sorry, all of Yan Ruohai’s cultivation techniques are fixed price. Just now, a young master bought an upper-grade technique for five thousand silver money, and not a penny less.”
The Attendant Student’s demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant.
“Could you take it out so I can look at the contents? Just a brief look at one or two pages would be fine.”
Qin Niu feared buying a worthless cultivation technique, as five silver money was a huge sum for him.
The Attendant Student’s face twitched for a moment.
“Sorry, all cultivation techniques and scrolls in our shop do not support opening and examining before purchase. Once you’ve paid, you can look at it however you want. Moreover, our Yan Ruohai’s business has been a distinguished establishment in Black Tiger City’s Cultivation Market for five hundred years, operating with integrity. The introduction states precisely what the technique is like.”
After the Attendant Student finished explaining, he didn’t hurry Qin Niu but waited patiently nearby for him to make a decision.
Yan Ruohai’s business thrived so well that, apart from other strengths, just the customer service alone was commendable.
Even if a customer bought only the worst cultivation technique, they were still treated with great respect.
It had to be so.
Because no one knew to what heights a customer buying cultivation techniques or martial skills might grow.
There were not a few examples of people who started with the worst cultivation techniques and reached great success step by step.
It’s said that the Black Tiger Gang had a vice Gang Leader called Bai Xuezhu, who started his practice with the lowest-grade Iron Cloth Technique and has now become the strongest expert in the Black Tiger Gang’s horizontal cultivation techniques.
He made countless great achievements in expanding the territory for the Black Tiger Gang. Offending such a person would cost more than ten cultivation technique shops could cover.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Niu decided to buy the scroll.
He didn’t have high expectations to start with, prepared to buy some garbage cultivation technique suitable for himself to practice with.
Now, this Everlasting Spring Technique looked to be of a quality that deserved to be placed on the second tier of the shelf at the very least.
Its value was greatly reduced mainly because it was an incomplete scroll.
Then, coupled with the fact that it was a technique unsuitable for cultivation, its market appeal dropped even further.
“This one, take it out please!”
