Chapter 27 - t enough ratings (2/2)

But children from wealthy families at that age would have already completed the initial transformation of cultivation and could even be stepping into the threshold of cultivation.

Sometimes, it has to be said, choice outweighs effort.

As long as you’re born into a good life, you can save yourself at least fifty years of struggle compared to others.

“Attendant Student, would you kindly fetch that Cultivation Technique for me.”

The young man appeared to have made his choice.

An Attendant Student quickly walked over and retrieved the Cultivation Technique the young man had pointed out.

“Young Master, you truly have a keen eye. This Dragon Chant Technique is a superior cultivation method, which, once mastered, grants you the mighty power of a dragon and an extended breath of life, adding a hundred years to your lifespan without question.”

Rather than handing over the Cultivation Technique to the young man, the Attendant Student held it and proceeded to the counter.

“Please come to the cashier, Young Master, to complete the purchase. This Dragon Chant Technique will then belong to you. The selling price is five thousand Silver Money.”

Qin Niu was so startled by the price of this Cultivation Technique, he nearly wet himself.

Five thousand taels!

He had thought that an item worth five hundred Silver Money, like the Hundred-Tempering Black Armor, was already astonishing.

Now he realized he was still too naive.

The selling price of a single Cultivation Technique was ten times that of the Hundred-Tempering Black Armor.

Such an expensive technique could probably not even be afforded by a big landlord like Yan Ruohai! The Yan Family might have to sell off their properties just to buy it.

However, if one managed to master the Dragon Chant, possessing the mighty power of a dragon, they might be able to walk sideways in Black Tiger City.

Cultivating this technique and extending one’s life by a hundred years was also incredibly tempting.

That would be twice Qin Niu’s current lifespan.

“I need to make money, I need to buy superior cultivation methods!”

He shouted in his heart, the thought of making money more intense than ever.

Looking at this ten-year-old boy, he was truly green with envy.

Many of the Cultivation Techniques on the shelves were actually one-of-a-kind, secrets, once sold, no more would be available.

Copies of Cultivation Techniques were known as Fake Cultivation Techniques, commonly found at black markets and street stalls.

It must be noted, when buying Cultivation Techniques, one must purchase the original. Even a slight deviation in a copied Fake Cultivation Technique could lead to a huge mistake. At best, practicing Fake Cultivation Techniques results in slow progress in cultivation, and at worst, it could cause one to suffer demonic deviation.

Take this Dragon Chant Technique, for instance, the cost of paper and ink isn’t expensive, but the person capable of writing this Cultivation Technique must surely be a powerful individual who has mastered the Dragon Chant.

Such individuals hold prestigious statuses.

The techniques they create with such dedication naturally won’t come cheap.

After the Cultivation Technique shop purchases them at a cost, they definitely will resell at a higher price!

Buying at three thousand taels and selling at five thousand is quite a normal profit margin.

Another point worth mentioning is that, for instance, if ten powerful practitioners all cultivated the Dragon Chant and succeeded, their writings would result in ten different versions of the technique.

Theoretically, the stronger the master who writes the technique, the better the Cultivation Technique.

But for cultivators, choosing the most compatible Cultivation Technique is the right decision.

If the version of Dragon Chant you purchase does not align well with you, it will significantly increase the difficulty of cultivation. The higher the compatibility, the easier it is to succeed in cultivating it.

Qin Niu dared not even look at the Cultivation Techniques on the second level of the bookshelf.

As for the top layer, there’s no need to mention it. The gentleman earlier bought one and it was not expensive, only five thousand taels. Even by selling himself, Qin Niu couldn’t make up the amount.

The price of the Cultivation Techniques on the second shelf is generally more than a hundred Silver Money each.

Qin Niu subconsciously touched the Silver Money in his bosom, lamenting that you only realize you don’t have enough when you need it!

Then he might as well pick a technique from the first layer. The cheapest goes for two Silver Money per book, with the most expensive around forty or fifty.

Here, Silver Money doesn’t equate to money, it’s like soil.
