Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Seeing Wang Ba stop, the stall owner immediately began to speak enthusiastically:

“Rare cultivation methods, powerful spells, numerous secret techniques, every kind of art that cultivators might need, this humble stall has them all. All depends on whether you, my friend, are fated to find them.”

The pitch smelt like a scam of the secular world.

However, Wang Ba seemed unfazed and began casually browsing through the stall.

His admiration for knowledge made him naturally curious and drawn to these scrolls and books.

The stall owner wasn’t exactly blowing smoke too. His modest stall indeed held numerous treasured cultivation methods and spells.

Among them was the “Manual of Surging Sword” that caught Wang Ba’s eye.

Like the “Ren Water Four Tactics”, this cultivation method is mainly for those with a Water Spirit Root, with subsidiary elements.

However, it emphasizes incorporating other elements into the Water Style.

Once mana is initiated, it naturally produces an effect of mixed styles, conferring formidable power.

Most importantly, this method can be cultivated to reach the Golden Core Realm.

The only thing that had him hesitating was that this method is rather extreme. Once practiced, switching to other methods would require him to spend an inordinate amount of effort to start all over again.

Also, this lineage was carried on through a jade slip, hence, it was relatively pricey. When Wang Ba asked about the price, he learnt that this method cost a hundred middle-grade spirit stones and the price was non-negotiable. Thus, he decisively chose to pass on it.

After flipping through some more books, he found none of the other cultivation methods suitable.

However, books containing travelogues, notes, experiences and insights into cultivation and various arts and skills used by cultivators, brought him much joy.

He enthusiastically spent over a hundred lower-grade spirit stones and bought them all.

Compared to spells that directly enhanced combat abilities, and cultivation methods which affected one’s future development, these books seemed of little use. Hence, under the condition that no one yearned for them, their price naturally didn’t rise.

Just when he was about to leave, he saw a spell that caught his interest.

“Golden Wind Jade Dew Tactics”.

It might sound like a cultivation method, but it was a unique Class II powerful spell.

Its peculiarity lay in that this spell requires the cultivator to transform a Class I Gold Style spell that they have already mastered into a Class II Water Style spell. This aligned with the theory of ‘Gold begets Water’.

Wang Ba couldn’t help but recall the “Golden Wind Arrow” he learned previously.

The “Golden Wind Arrow” was a Class I powerful Gold-style spell. Wang Ba bought it in the past due to his ignorance about the spell, and learned it helplessly.

However, since it was incompatible and mediocre in terms of power, he didn’t spend more time on it afterwards.

Contrary to his expectations, by a quirk of fate, it perfectly met the practice points for “Golden Wind Jade Dew Tactics”.

Without any hesitation, Wang Ba immediately purchased it by spending more than twenty middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Unfortunately, it was the original. If it were a gold paper reproduction, the price would be much cheaper.

Even so, Wang Ba was completely content.

After he practices the “Golden Wind Arrow” to its peak and then transforms it to the “Golden Wind Jade Dew Tactics”, he will have mastered a Class II powerful spell.

It just so happened that he had confiscated quite a bit of Golden Magnetic Sand from the storage bags of the cultivators at Jingyue Mansion, which could be used to practice the “Golden Wind Arrow”.

The only pity was that this spell belonged to the attacking spells category, not the defensive spells which he loved more.

Having looked around a bit more and finding nothing else of interest, Wang Ba decided to leave.

But right when he was about to leave, he unexpectedly heard a surprised voice from a nearby location:

“Zhu Jianyi, what are you doing here?”
