4: SSS-level cultivation technique! The Way of Nature!
"Breaking News, Breaking News! The Chi City Flea Market is about to open! From antiques and books to clothes and toys, everything imaginable will be available! Opening on April 22nd, location: the small street next to Fourth Middle School! Everyone is welcome to attend!"
An 81-year-old granny in a cheongsam enthusiastically advertised with a microphone!
"If enough people show up, she'll even perform a pole dance offline! Absolutely stunning, absolutely dazzling!"
Wang Yunchen's eyes widened in shock, then he couldn't help but smile, "Perfect, I can go check out those small stalls. Maybe I'll get lucky."
"April 22nd, which is tomorrow. This period is just right for me to sort out my thoughts!"
Wang Yunchen immediately returned to his bedroom, flopped onto the bed, his slippers spinning in the air before landing by the door.
He carefully thought back, recalling his original body's past: parents deceased, leaving behind a house and some savings, just enough for daily expenses.
However, this also made the original body's mentality extremely sensitive and insecure, leading to a lack of friends. When the campus belle girlfriend pursued him, he actually saw her as his entire life.
But Wang Yunchen understood: why would Yu Kexin, a prominent campus belle, specifically choose him?
"She only liked my knowledge as the top student in my grade, and she could manipulate me with my personality, treating me as a tool."
Beyond that, he also needed to consider his future plans.
If Spiritual Qi was about to recover, he should try his best to find anomalies and improve his strength.
Additionally, there were weapons, Cultivation Techniques, and so on.
Of course, these would surely only be obtainable through the management agencies belonging to the Dragon Kingdom. Wang Yunchen didn't believe the country would just let sudden incidents happen one after another.
With things sorted out, it was already night. After eating some takeout, Wang Yunchen went to rest.
The next day, Wang Yunchen arrived early at the school's flea market. The vendors had already filled the entire alley, each shouting to attract customers with their own skills.
"Come one, come all, take a look, my clothes are very fresh!"
"Beep, beep beep, I'm the thinnest, moving the biggest watermelons, setting up the most awesome stall in Chi City! Beep, beep beep!"
"Customer, look over here, my chicken feet are fragrant and delicious, comparable to Xiao Kun Kun's!"
"It seems this promotion is very effective!"
Wang Yunchen smiled slightly. Unique stalls, coupled with unbeatable promotion—even Wang Yunchen wanted to witness the 81-year-old cheongsam granny's pole dance in real life. Just thinking about it was explosive!
Stepping into the alley, he walked back and forth, looking at each stall.
These were mostly ordinary clothes, or ancient artifacts buried just last night. None of them caught his eye; these weren't what he was looking for.
Suddenly, an old man blocked Wang Yunchen's path.
"Young man, I see you are heroic and spirited, a martial arts Genius. Are you interested in learning my martial arts Secret Manual?"
Wang Yunchen raised an eyebrow and looked at the old man. An old man with a few strands of hair left, wearing a white tank top, sitting on a chair—he looked like he could catch bullets out of thin air.
Wang Yunchen immediately became interested and said with a slight smile, "Old man, what kind of Secret Manuals do you have? Don't try to fool me, or I'll pluck the rest of your hair in the middle of the night."
"Ah? Young man, you're really joking."
After looking at the Handsome Guy Wang Yunchen, Sun Liang felt a little guilty. He quickly pulled Wang Yunchen to a street corner where there was a stall with a few scattered books.
"Look, these are all my life's learning, original copies I collected, absolutely authentic!"
Wang Yunchen casually picked up a book, "Sunflower Acupoint Tapping Hand!"
"Holy crap, old man, you even know about Acupoints?"
"Just a little, just a little!"
He then looked at another side, "Master of Romance" "A Thousand Ways to Pursue a Rich Woman"
"Art of Seduction"
What kind of stuff was this? Wang Yunchen suddenly thought, if he learned these books, and the System upgraded them to SSS-Rank...
Tsk tsk tsk, it might not be impossible.
He looked at the honest-looking old man with a strange expression. "I didn't expect you to be this kind of old man!"
But these were all useless. After the Spiritual Qi recovery, these would only waste his time.
"Boring, I'm leaving!"
Seeing Wang Yunchen about to leave, the old man immediately blocked his way.
"You're not interested in these? I have another book here that will definitely move you!"
"Oh? If you're lying to me again, I'll pluck your daughter's hair tonight too!"
"Hahaha, pluck away, let's see if you have the guts. My girl is with the Spirit Control Association... Oh, I've said too much."
The old man's eyes flickered, and he quickly shut up, pulling out a dark-colored book from his vest.
Wang Yunchen looked closely; the book's title was "Azure Moon Breathing Technique." Just by the name, it sounded like a Cultivation Technique.
The old man slowly began, "I stole this one. I use it for daily exercise, and the effect is pretty good. I feel like I last an extra half an hour every day."
Wang Yunchen looked confused, but seeing the old man's smiling face, he felt the book was very suspicious.
However, the book did look quite old, so he might as well make a purchase. Wang Yunchen had ten million yuan on him, and he was in a good mood, so he'd support him.
"Forget it, old man, how much is this book? I'll buy it!" The old man's eyes lit up.
"300!"
"Old man, if you're going to be like that, I'm leaving!"
"Young man, don't go! 100! I'm selling it to you at a loss!"
"Goodbye, old man!"
Watching Wang Yunchen about to leave, the old man suddenly hugged his waist from behind.
"Young man! 50! I really can't go any lower, it's not even enough for the cost!"
"Deal!"
Wang Yunchen quickly paid, his face full of smiles.
Although he liked to spend, his genes always made him want to bargain.
The old man also started chuckling.
Both of them were clearly satisfied with the price!
As soon as he got the book, a cold, mechanical synthetic voice suddenly appeared in Wang Yunchen's mind.
"Ding, detected E-Rank Cultivation Technique: Azure Moon Breathing Technique. The System has automatically converted and learned the Azure Moon Breathing Technique."
"Azure Moon Breathing Technique: Each night, face the Azure Moon and absorb moonlight Spiritual Qi to Cultivate your Realm."
"Ding, SSS-Rank Talent activated. E-Rank Cultivation Technique—Azure Moon Breathing Technique automatically upgraded to Heaven Rank SSS-Rank Cultivation Technique—Way of Nature."
"Way of Nature: The world changes, attributes are unpredictable. Can utilize all natural attributes for breathing, cleansing the body, and improving cultivation!"
"Upgrade successful. Do you wish to absorb and learn?"
"Holy crap!"
Wang Yunchen was greatly startled, he never expected to actually dig up a treasure!
His current thought was to rush home and Cultivate!
He looked at the old man gratefully, "Old man, what's your surname?"
The old man laughed, "My surname is Sun, Sun Liang! Come to my stall often in the future!"
"Absolutely! Grandpa Sun, we'll meet again if fate allows!"
With that, Wang Yunchen left the alley without delay.
Sun Liang watched Wang Yunchen run off and chuckled. Suddenly, his phone rang.
He picked up the phone, "Hello, girl!"
A woman's voice replied, "Dad, where's my Cultivation Technique? Did you secretly go practice again?"
Sun Liang gave an awkward laugh, "Haha, girl, I was selling some trinkets at the flea market and happened to meet a Handsome Guy with faint Spiritual Qi. He seemed to have just undergone an Awakening, so..."
The other end of the phone paused, then a low voice said, "So you sold it to him? My Cultivation Technique?"
"I sold it for 50, not a loss!"
"Heh, no loss, but this Cultivation Technique is worth 100,000 to the Spirit Control Association. The rest will be deducted from your pension!"
The phone was quickly hung up, and Sun Liang was instantly petrified.
—
After Wang Yunchen returned home.
Wang Yunchen took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart!
"Learn!"
"Ding, learning in progress... Learning successful!"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for learning a Cultivation Technique for the first time, receiving a beginner's reward! The host's living environment has gained a Spiritual Vein, and Spiritual Qi concentration has significantly increased!"
Boom!
Suddenly, streams of peculiar Spiritual Qi continuously surged from Wang Yunchen's body!
In just a moment, the entire residential area was enveloped by that Spiritual Qi.
And Wang Yunchen's body was covered in a strange mist, as if he had received the support of an Immortal who had achieved the Dao and Immortal Ascension!
Unrestrained, mysterious, astonishing!
As Wang Yunchen breathed rhythmically, Spiritual Qi permeated his body, as if impacting his Bloodline and refining his bone marrow!
This feeling was completely different from the Spiritual power that initially repaired his body; this was a high-level, crushing sense of shock!
Wang Yunchen could clearly feel the changes happening within his body.
As a large amount of Spiritual Qi permeated his body, Wang Yunchen experienced a suffocating pain!
His bones seemed to constantly shatter, only to be Reborn as crystalline jade bones. His muscles were continuously torn, yet constantly expanding and growing!
After a few minutes, Wang Yunchen almost fainted.
Finally, his body stopped changing.
After this transformation, he could clearly feel the Meridians within his body, and his body could autonomously perceive the rich Spiritual Qi that made his pores expand.
Even with each inhale and exhale, the Spiritual Qi in the air autonomously entered Wang Yunchen's body!
"It hurts so much!"
Wang Yunchen grimaced, recalling the pain he had just endured. It was an unforgettable torment, yet this feeling of shattering and rebuilding also brought a hint of exhilaration!
Wang Yunchen immediately decided to continue meditating and Cultivating, operating the Way of Nature!
And as Wang Yunchen was immersed in the cultivation of his every breath, abnormal changes occurred within a ten-kilometer radius, including beyond his residential area!
