78: Dig a hole

The Middle-aged Female Cultivator hurriedly put the blood crystal on the table into her Storage Pouch.

Then, she poured out 3600 Spirit Stones.

Gu Changan felt wonderful inside; another 3600 Spirit Stones had been accounted for.

Then he instructed, "Don't forget what I said!"

He then left without looking back!

Gu Changan had just stepped out, and not even the time it takes to brew a cup of tea had passed.

The Old Man Full of Corpse Qi entered the shop.

He released his Foundation Establishment Stage pressure directly: "What did that person buy here just now?"

"Or what did he sell?"

The Middle-aged Female Cultivator hadn't yet recovered from her joy when she was startled by the mental pressure of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

She hurriedly saluted and said, "Senior!"

Afterwards, she recalled Gu Changan's instructions; it seemed what he had said was true.

Thinking that this person with Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation was merely a subordinate of the other party, she became even more curious about Gu Changan's true identity.

The Middle-aged Female Cultivator still followed Gu Changan's instructions and said, "He bought Yin soldiers and ghosts!"

"He bought one Foundation Establishment Stage Yin soldier and one Level 9 Qi Refining ghost!"

"He paid with blood crystals!"

The Old Man Full of Corpse Qi heard this and pondered.

It seems that junior bought the Yin soldier and the Level 9 Foundation Establishment ghost separately.

He looks much smarter, but in reality, he's just so-so!

Then he hurriedly followed him again!

Gu Changan felt a gaze lingering on his body from behind.

It seems the other party hasn't given up; should he play a big game?

There happened to be a Treasure Pavilion in the North District, and he just happened to need some combat movement techniques, movement techniques for traveling, and some Cultivation Techniques for refining Magical Artifacts.

It's impossible to use blood refining for every Magical Artifact!

It would be best to find some Magical Artifacts or items with large-area attacks.

Gu Changan found an empty corner and changed his clothes again.

In the eyes of the Old Man Full of Corpse Qi, this operation was simply a clumsy performance.

The Old Man Full of Corpse Qi was full of disdain.

But he just didn't know who would end up tricking whom in the end?

After Gu Changan finished changing his clothes, he walked towards the largest building in the North District.

That was the Treasure Pavilion, which covered a vast area.

The layout of the building was as luxurious as ever.

After entering, there were two rows of Attendants, and Gu Changan casually beckoned one over.

"I want to buy some Cultivation Techniques; Qi Refining Stage ones will do."

The Attendant who was beckoned over was roughly at Level 5 Qi Refining and sensed that Gu Changan had roughly Late Stage Qi Refining cultivation.

He reminded him, "Senior would be better off buying Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation Techniques directly!"

"I feel that Senior is almost at the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

Gu Changan rolled his eyes at him and replied perfunctorily, "Do you think I don't know that?"

"It's just that I don't have Spirit Stones!"

"I'll buy Qi Refining Stage Cultivation Techniques to use for the time being!"

The Attendant could only nod repeatedly after hearing this: "Very well! What Cultivation Techniques does Senior want?"

Gu Changan: "I need to find some combat movement techniques, movement techniques for traveling, and some Cultivation Techniques for refining Magical Artifacts."

The Attendant was a bit troubled: "Senior, there aren't many combat or traveling Cultivation Techniques that can be used during the Qi Refining Stage!"

"Because this is just a transition, and the cultivation of the Qi Refining Stage simply cannot support the operation of these Cultivation Techniques."

"Only at the Foundation Establishment Stage can one perfectly operate these Cultivation Techniques!"

Gu Changan thought about it and realized that this made sense!

"Then you recommend the Foundation Establishment Stage ones!"

"I'll take them into consideration! Consider them!"

The Attendant was secretly happy; by purchasing Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation Techniques, he would be able to get another commission.

The Attendant pondered for a moment and recommended: "There are many combat movement techniques!"

"There is the Phantom Step; during combat, one turns into an afterimage and disappears from the spot."

"Cultivated to Minor Achievement or Perfection, one can transform into two or three afterimages."

"Making it hard for the enemy to distinguish between real and fake!"

"There is also the Seven Star Step; during combat, one steps on the Big Dipper, changing positions back and forth, leaving the enemy confused."

"Cultivated to Minor Achievement or Perfection, one can shuttle back and forth between 7 positions."

"Leaving the enemy unable to cope!"

Gu Changan's eyes lit up slightly after hearing the Attendant's introduction.

Isn't this exactly what he needs?

And after upgrading with the treasure gathering basin, wouldn't the Cultivation Techniques be even stronger?

"How much for these two?"

The Attendant was overjoyed: "Senior, the Phantom Step sells for 1000 Spirit Stones!"

"The Seven Star Step sells for 1500 Spirit Stones!"

"Which one do you want, Senior?"

Gu Changan touched his chin and looked behind him; the Old Man Full of Corpse Qi had already entered.

He was standing by the door, talking to an Attendant.

Although separated by two cloaks, Gu Changan felt that the Old Man Full of Corpse Qi's gaze was always on him.

Gu Changan asked: "Are there any Spells for long-distance travel?"

The Attendant was slightly stunned; this Senior changed his mind so quickly.

However, he still replied: "Yes! The most basic Five Elements Escape Technique!"

"Metal Evasion Technique, Wood Evasion Technique, Water Evasion Technique, Fire Evasion Technique, Earth Evasion Technique!"

"These Cultivation Techniques can be sold separately, but it will be more expensive!"

"It will be a bit cheaper if you buy the Five Elements Escape Technique!"

Gu Changan was pleasantly surprised; he had the Five Elements Spirit Root, and with the Five Elements Escape Technique!

Perfect!

The Attendant continued to introduce: "There are also some special Cultivation Techniques, such as the Cicada Step!"

"Taking a step covers dozens of zhang, suitable for travel!"

"There is also the Blood Evasion Technique!"

"This Spell is used when escaping for one's life!"

"It consumes a large amount of one's own essence blood to perform a blood escape in one direction!"

Gu Changan lost interest after hearing this.

"How many Spirit Stones for the Five Elements Escape Technique?"

"How many Spirit Stones for the Cicada Step?"

The Attendant answered pleasantly surprised: "For the Five Elements Escape Technique, if bought individually, each is 1000 Spirit Stones!"

"If you buy the whole set, it's 4000 Spirit Stones!"

"The Cicada Step is 1000 Spirit Stones!"

Gu Changan nodded, having an understanding in his heart; taking down these Cultivation Techniques would cost about 7000+ Spirit Stones!

"What about the Cultivation Techniques for refining treasures?"

Disappointment flashed in the Attendant's eyes, but the rules of the Treasure Pavilion made him dare not show it.

"The Three Lights Refining Method can use sunlight, moonlight, or starlight to refine various Spells."

"The benefit is that these three types of light are very common."

"After the treasures are well refined, these refined treasures will automatically strengthen when bathed in these lights!"

Gu Changan was startled in his heart; this was another surprise for him, wasn't it?

However, the hundred soul banner doesn't seem to be able to be refined using this method!

The Attendant saw that Gu Changan didn't speak and continued to introduce: "The Treasure Refining Art, this Cultivation Technique is quite common!"

"To refine a Magic Treasure, use your own Spiritual Qi to nourish it!"

"Even for Magical Artifacts, it is equally applicable!"

"There is also a Cultivation Technique called the Blood Refining Art!"

"This is not a simple, ordinary Spell where you can blood refine by dropping 1 drop of essence blood!"

"Instead, it often needs to be nourished with essence blood, so that the Magical Artifact or Magic Treasure will be as easy to use as one's own arm!"

"It also has the possibility of increasing the power by one or two layers!"

"How much it actually increases depends on the length of time spent refining with essence blood!"

Gu Changan frowned slightly; why were they all these evil cultivator methods?

However, the Treasure Refining Art and the Three Lights Refining Method are not bad!

"How many Spirit Stones for the Treasure Refining Art and the Three Lights Refining Method?"

The Attendant had already given up hope.

He replied woodenly: "The Treasure Refining Art is 1000 Spirit Stones!"

"The Three Lights Refining Method is 1500 Spirit Stones!"
