“About that, could you let me take a look at that technique?” Mo Wuji sighed to himself, wanting to lay his eyes on this Immortal Mortal Technique.
He had no other way, the amount of money he had could only afford some techniques of the masses.
“No problem.” The shop assistant took the Immortal Mortal Technique manual out from the glass display case and handed it to Mo Wuji with a smile. He did not have the permission to do so for other techniques, but at least for this one, he could make such a decision.
The moment Mo Wuji intended to open the manual, the middle aged man laughed, “My suggestion would be that if you want to make progress in your cultivation for the long term, it would be better to accumulate some points and purchase a higher quality Mortal technique. The Immortal Mortal Technique only goes by this name in this shop. Once you leave the shop, this technique goes by another name.”
“What’s the other name?” Mo Wuji blurted.
The middle aged man pointed at the manual in Mo Wuji’s hands, “Once you open this manual, you will be able to see its actual name.”
With that, Mo Wuji hurriedly flipped open the manual. Below the words “Immortal Mortal Technique’’, there were a few small unassuming words “Basics of Cultivation”
When Mo Wuji saw those three words, he almost coughed up blood. If this middle aged man did not remind him, he would have bought this manual. What’s more, if anyone asked him, he would say that he was training in the Immortal Mortal Technique, which might make him a big laughing stock.
The shop assistant saw that something was amiss, and quickly added, “This is the most basic of the beginner techniques. If you train with this technique, even if you change to another technique in the future, there will be no negative effects. I can assure you, there are no other techniques that are more foundational than this one.”
Mo Wuji retorted snidely, “Of course there will be no negative effects. Didn’t I just hear that training this Immortal Mortal Technique requires a large amount of time and resources? By the time I have the ability to change to other techniques, won’t I already be close to dying from old age?”
The shop assistant chuckled, but did not rebut what Mo Wuji said.
The middle aged man spoke once again, “Technically this shop assistant is not wrong. Even though the technique takes up a long period of time for training, but it has been passed down for countless years, and went through all kinds of refinement, thus making it flawless. Whenever you have a higher quality cultivation technique, you can really swap it out at any moment.”
Mo Wuji flipped the manual open. The shop assistant did not lie about its contents. The technique was highly detailed, not only stating clearly how to circulate spiritual energy, but also showing diagrams indicating the direction of flow within spirit channels. On top of that, there were introductions to certain parts of the spirit channel network in the body.
Mo Wuji never cultivated before, and no one had ever taught him how to. The positions and names of spirit channels were completely foreign to him. What more the direction of flow within them.
The shop assistant took out another book and passed it to Mo Wuji, “My friend, if you purchase the Immortal Mortal Technique from me, I will also give you this introductory book on spirit channels for free.”
Mo Wuji closed the manual, saying to the shop assistant, “Could you stop bringing up Immortal Mortal Technique. What I want to buy now is this Basics of Cultivation. Speak. What is the lowest price that you can offer? That’s right, I still have 250 points, how much money would I have to add on top of that to get this manual and the free gift?”
He was rather impatient. Either he bought this manual, or he would leave the shop empty handed. The amount of money he had could not purchase anything else.
Hearing that Mo Wuji really intended to purchase this Basics of Cultivation, the shop assistant immediately broke into a smile and said, “Just add 70 thousand gold coins…”
“I’ll add another 50 thousand gold coins. If you are willing to sell it, I will take it off your hands immediately. Otherwise, I’ll go to another shop.” Mo Wuji said without hesitation.
