First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 11: Buying the Cauldron

"It's not that exaggerated." Gu Qingshan saw Shen Mo's hesitant appearance and quickly said, "There are only a few hundred disciples in the Lingyun Sect, and even fewer disciples who travel outside."

"If you learn this light body technique and don't show off, no one will recognize it."

"The risk is too great."

Shen Mo decisively shook his head.

"This immortal technique is one of the best Qinggong techniques in the Lingyun Sect. Although it is only a low-grade Profound Grade, if you cultivate it to Great Completion, it can definitely be comparable to a mid-grade Profound Grade light body technique!"

Gu Qingshan saw Shen Mo refuse and said, "All I need is just a hundred light body talismans."

"Thirty talismans." Shen Mo pondered for a long time, and finally held up a finger and waved it in front of him. "I can give you a maximum of thirty light body talismans in exchange."

"If you're willing, we can make the trade. If not, then forget it."

"Deal!"

Gu Qingshan gritted his teeth. Although Shen Mo was willing to give far less than his expectations, Gu Qingshan couldn't care too much at this moment.

"This technique is completely recorded in this Jade Slip. You can check it."

Shen Mo took the Jade Slip and carefully identified it. After confirming that it was indeed an immortal technique, he took out thirty light body talismans and gave them to him.

Gu Qingshan took the talismans and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

And as Shen Mo watched him go, a smile finally appeared on his face!

Thirty light body talismans in exchange for a body technique.

It must be said, he made a big profit!

Shen Mo, who put the Jade Slip into his embrace, was full of joy.

In fact, he was quite satisfied with this transaction.

The heavy concerns he showed earlier were just to negotiate a better price.

As for the risks brought by practicing secret techniques from other sects.

Indeed, there were risks, but if you want to gain something cheap, how can there be no risks?

Shen Mo was not a cowardly person. As long as there were enough benefits, he was willing to take some risks.

[Swift Thunderous Steps]

[Grade: Low-grade Profound Grade]

[Type: Body Technique]

[Brief Description: Created by Lingxu when he advanced to the Yuan Dan realm, inspired by the thunderous phenomenon. When cultivated to Great Completion, the body technique is as fast as thunder, running through the night.]

He attached his divine sense to the Jade Slip, reading and comprehending the first immortal technique he obtained in his life.

Above the sky, the sun gradually moved westward.

It was already afternoon.

During this time, more than a dozen customers came one after another and bought all the talismans Shen Mo was selling.

"Closing up!"

Shen Mo packed up the stall and carefully counted his own gains.

Forty-one low-grade Spirit Stones.

This was the price at which all the talismans were sold.

"Now that everything is sold, it's time to go for a stroll."

After carefully storing the heavy Spirit Stones bag, Shen Mo stood up and walked into the depths of Baoping Lane, strolling along the street.

"So many treasures, it's dazzling."

As he walked, Shen Mo was overwhelmed by the various treasures that filled his vision.

"Unfortunately, this 'good eye' destiny doesn't seem to have much effect. Maybe the grade is too low."

After looking around, he had the idea of finding some bargains.

But he found that even with the blessing of a special destiny, he still couldn't see anything special.

"Never mind, let's go buy the cauldron."

After trying for a while, Shen Mo gave up the idea of relying on his special destiny to find bargains. He quickened his pace and walked towards the area specializing in selling pill refining equipment.

In the market of Baoping Lane, there are not only temporary stalls set up by cultivators, but also permanent storefronts where they sell their goods.

Shen Mo looked around the stall area for a while, but didn't find any opportunities for bargains, so he came to a storefront called Baodan Pavilion near the Mandarin Duck Tower.

Since he couldn't find any bargains, it was natural for him to choose a regular storefront when buying a cauldron.

After all, temporary stalls set up by cultivators come and go, and if there is a problem with the things they buy, it's not easy to find them.

But with a regular storefront, at least you can find after-sales service if there is a problem.

"Oh, what does the customer need?"

As soon as Shen Mo entered the Baodan Pavilion, the shopkeeper came up to greet him.

The shopkeeper was short and fat, giving people a cute and amiable feeling. "This shop specializes in selling pill refining materials."

"I want to buy a cauldron, an Initiation level one."

Shen Mo stated his requirements.

"Buying a cauldron?" The shopkeeper took him to a special cauldron room.

"Yes, the cauldrons here are all Initiation level, and the price is forty low-grade Spirit Stones each. You can choose freely."

After hearing the shopkeeper's introduction, Shen Mo nodded and carefully examined them.

There were about twenty cauldrons placed in the room.

Although their shapes, colors, and styles were different, they were all Initiation level cauldrons.

These cauldrons could meet the needs of cultivators for pill refining, but that was about it. They didn't have any special enhancements.

If it were a high-level cauldron, it would not only have the basic function of pill refining, but also various miraculous effects, making it easier for alchemists to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, such cauldrons were quite expensive and not something Shen Mo could consider at the moment.

"Which cauldron should I choose?" Shen Mo felt his decision-making difficulty syndrome acting up again.

Although all the cauldrons had the same effect, after comparing them for a while, he still couldn't make up his mind.

"Oh, this cauldron?"

Just as Shen Mo was contemplating, his gaze casually fell on a cauldron to the right. It had an ancient style and was bright red all over. His gaze paused for a moment.

Just now, he seemed to have seen a faint glow on this cauldron, but it disappeared in an instant.

"Is it an illusion?" Shen Mo hesitated.

"Or is it a special destiny giving me a hint?"

He had experimented for a long time before, but he didn't feel any difference from the special destiny he drew last night.

Now, it seemed that this special destiny was working and had a reaction?

"I'll take this one!"

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Mo's heart skipped a beat and he directly chose this cauldron.

"Well, the Red Cloud Cauldron, it's a fair price of forty low-grade Spirit Stones."

The shopkeeper quickly calculated on his abacus and spoke.

"No rush, I'll look at other things." After choosing the cauldron, Shen Mo didn't rush to pay, but continued to browse the Baodan Pavilion.

In addition to the cauldron, he needed to buy some medicinal materials for pill refining if he wanted to start pill refining officially.

After some selection, he took one hundred portions of the raw materials for the Yang-boosting Powder and one hundred portions for making the Qi-replenishing Pill.

In addition, he also took a pill recipe.

The Small Yuan-nurturing Pill, a first-rank spiritual pill, has the effect of enhancing cultivation base and nurturing the Yuan. It is a commonly used Medicine Pill for Qi Gathering stage cultivators.

"How much is the pill recipe for the Small Yuan-nurturing Pill?"

Shen Mo asked.

"Ten Spirit Stones, and if you buy it, I can also give you ten portions of the medicinal materials for refining the Small Yuan-nurturing Pill."

The shopkeeper generously offered.

"Okay, I'll take it."

Shen Mo calculated the number of Spirit Stones in his hand and decided to buy it.

"You have spent a total of sixty-one low-grade Spirit Stones. Here is the receipt, please keep it safe."

With a clatter of the abacus beads, the shopkeeper quickly settled the accounts and handed him a receipt.
