I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 48: Daring Wang Fellow Daoist

As for the Taiyi Profound Technique and the Dongxuan Treasure Scroll, although their quality is slightly lower, they can be used by all spiritual roots and are considered average cultivation techniques. After successful cultivation, they do not possess any Divine Ability.

Although the latter two cultivation techniques are not as good as the previous two, they are still much better than what Lin Qing and his wives have been practicing. They are not in the same league. If they were to cultivate these two techniques, their cultivation speed would be at least 10% faster than Lin Qing's wives. Do not underestimate this 10%, as it would result in significant improvement over the years. However, Lin Qing and his wives have been practicing their own techniques for many years and it would be difficult for them to switch techniques before Foundation Building.

"Lin Qing, have you made your decision?" Wang Fellow Daoist asked with a smile.

Lin Qing nodded. Wang Fellow Daoist had just informed him of the prices of these techniques. The Huangtian Treasure Technique and the Qingmu Divine Technique were each sold for 700 spirit stones, while the Taiyi Profound Technique and the Dongxuan Treasure Scroll were each sold for 600 spirit stones. Although it seemed like a lot, Lin Qing could afford it.

Putting aside the spirit stones, Lin Qing decided to buy the Taiyi Profound Technique and the Dongxuan Treasure Scroll. After all, the Huangtian Treasure Technique and the Qingmu Divine Technique were not suitable for his son, Lin Xuchang, who only had five spiritual roots. If he were to use techniques specifically designed for a single spiritual root, his cultivation speed would not be as fast as with the Taiyi Profound Technique and the Dongxuan Treasure Scroll.

As for buying two copies, Lin Qing wanted to have more options. He currently had no shortage of spirit stones. He had brought 2,000 spirit stones with him on this trip, which were his earnings from the past four years. The previous 1,000 spirit stones he had saved up had been completely spent during these four years on his and his wives' cultivation, formation building, and pill refining.

"Wang Fellow Daoist, I would like to buy the Taiyi Profound Technique and the Dongxuan Treasure Scroll. Is there any discount available?" Lin Qing said softly.

Wang Fellow Daoist's eyes flickered. He didn't expect Lin Qing to buy two copies at once, which caught him off guard.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Fellow Daoist whispered to Lin Qing, "Lin Qing, how about coming back tomorrow? I'll see if I can give you some discount."

"Tomorrow?" Lin Qing thought for a moment and agreed.

"Alright, take your time to consider, I'll be waiting here for your visit," Wang Fellow Daoist suddenly raised his voice.

Lin Qing realized what was happening and replied, "Then I'll take my leave."

As Lin Qing went downstairs and left, Wang Fellow Daoist hesitated. The idea of letting Lin Qing come back tomorrow had suddenly appeared in his mind, and he didn't know what it meant. He just followed his instincts and said it.

But now that Lin Qing had left, he felt afraid of the idea that had come to his mind.

That idea was to sell Lin Qing a genuine and a fake formation technique tomorrow, earning 600 spirit stones for the fake one. Of course, the authenticity of the techniques was not in question. If the fake technique was discovered after cultivation, it wouldn't be long before the truth was revealed. His plan was to sell one copy from the inventory of the Bai Bao Tower and copy another one himself, without taking it from the inventory.

To be honest, this idea was too daring. If the Bai Bao Tower found out, he wouldn't live to see the next day.

But Wang Fellow Daoist couldn't let go of the idea.

No windfall without risk, no wealth without unexpected gains. He came to Xuan Yu Square to accumulate resources for his breakthrough to Foundation Building, but Xuan Yu Square had not met his expectations. If things continued like this, even after ten years, it would still be insufficient.

And he was getting older day by day.

After much contemplation, Wang Fellow Daoist drank two pots of tea, but his inner struggle remained. The risk was simply too great.

However, after a long period of contemplation, Fellow Daoist Wang gradually calmed down. He realized that opportunities are earned through competition. He had worked so hard for many years, but for what? It was all for the sake of breaking through Foundation Building. If he didn't dare to seize this opportunity, he feared that he would never have another chance.

This time, the timing, location, and people were all favorable.

Firstly, the timing was perfect. Fellow Daoist Wang looked up and saw that the Foundation Building cultivator on the third floor had just left for another place a few days ago and wouldn't be back for several more days. The cultivation technique was stored on the third floor, which was fortunate timing.

As for the location, Fellow Daoist Wang had been staying in the Bai Bao Tower in Xuan Yu Square for a long time. He had been here since the beginning and had accumulated quite a few means over the past ten years. With these conditions, he had the opportunity to do this. If he had just arrived recently, even if he wanted to do it, he wouldn't have succeeded.

As for the people, it all depended on Lin Qing. He was familiar with Lin Qing and they were not strangers, so the risk was not great. Moreover, in the eyes of ordinary people, cultivators usually only buy one cultivation technique, especially high-level ones. It was reasonable to buy only one. No one would have expected that Lin Qing would buy two, which created an opportunity.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Fellow Daoist Wang's gaze gradually became firm.

The next day, Lin Qing arrived at the Bai Bao Tower early in the morning, while Fellow Daoist Wang remained seated on the second floor, but his expression seemed slightly excited. Lin Qing didn't pay attention to it.

"Shopkeeper Lin, this is the discounted price." After a brief conversation, Fellow Daoist Wang held up one finger.

Lin Qing was delighted. He didn't expect to get a discount of one hundred spirit stones. It seemed that his previous relationship with Fellow Daoist Wang, who usually used medium-grade spirit stones, had helped.

At this moment, Fellow Daoist Wang whispered, "Shopkeeper Lin, this is a special discount only for the two of us. In the future, please don't reveal it to anyone else, or we will both be punished. Even now, let's keep our voices down."

"Of course, of course," Lin Qing nodded.

Fellow Daoist Wang smiled and then silently exchanged the spirit stones and cultivation techniques with Lin Qing. Both of them quickly put their desired items into their storage bags, and then Lin Qing exchanged a few more medium-grade spirit stones.

"Shopkeeper Lin, take care," Fellow Daoist Wang said from behind.

Lin Qing smiled and left.

It wasn't until Lin Qing left the Bai Bao Tower that Fellow Daoist Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the spirit stones in his storage and thought that there was still one final step.

Two days later, the Foundation Building cultivator on the third floor returned. Fellow Daoist Wang told him about selling a set of second-grade high-quality cultivation technique, the Taiyi Xuan Gong, and presented the spirit stones. The Foundation Building cultivator didn't mind at all. He had been out for personal matters these past few days and had entrusted Fellow Daoist Wang to take care of the third floor. Fellow Daoist Wang had been in Xuan Yu Square for so many years, working diligently and was a trustworthy person. He even rewarded Fellow Daoist Wang with twenty spirit stones. Fellow Daoist Wang naturally expressed his gratitude.

It was only at this moment that Fellow Daoist Wang completely relaxed. Within a few days, he had obtained nearly six hundred spirit stones. Fellow Daoist Wang felt that Foundation Building was within reach.

As for Lin Qing, who returned to his room with the cultivation technique, he examined it and found it to be intact. However, he couldn't help but complain in his heart that the Bai Bao Tower was making too much money.

The Taiyi Xuan Gong was nothing special, but the Dongxuan Treasure Scroll had clearly just been printed. Thinking about how the Bai Bao Tower casually printed cultivation techniques and sold a set for six hundred spirit stones, Lin Qing felt that his array shop was really not worth mentioning.

What Lin Qing would never have expected was that the cultivation technique was actually copied overnight by Fellow Daoist Wang. In order to avoid making mistakes, Fellow Daoist Wang even took several pills to stay awake, which resulted in him not being able to sleep for two consecutive days.
