Mythical Cultivation

Wu Ming followed Manager Fang into a room, and the manager asked his servants to bring up the treasure.

"Friend Wu, take a look, this is our store's treasure."

The shopkeeper pointed to one of the boxes and opened it. Inside was a black needle-shaped treasure.

"This is a bone-penetrating needle, forged from the Earth Fire Evil. Although it looks inconspicuous, it contains fire poison. Once it penetrates the enemy's body, the fire poison will instantly attack the heart. Without the protection of ice-attributed treasures, it is difficult to dodge.

Furthermore, since the Bone-Piercing Needle is a flying needle-type treasure, it has a significant effect on various types of magical shields. Only magical weapons can block the Bone-Piercing Needle's attack."

Wu Ming listened to Shopkeeper Fang's introduction of the bone-piercing needle. This thing was used for sneak attacks. Once it was used openly, the opponent would be on guard, especially against those monks with strong shields.

I just don't know how powerful this thing is. If I had this bone-piercing needle before, I think the previous battle would have been easier.

"Shopkeeper Fang, how powerful is this bone-piercing needle, and how much is it worth?"

"Even if a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage is struck by this bone-piercing needle, if it is not suppressed in time, it will be life-threatening. Therefore, it is quite valuable. The price is 280 spirit stones."

"This power is far inferior to the Heavenly Thunder Seed, so why is it so expensive?"

"Fellow Daoist Wu, you're mistaken. Although the Heavenly Thunder Seed is indeed powerful, think about how likely it is that someone with your or my level of cultivation can directly hit a Foundation Establishment cultivator with it.

But the bone-piercing needle is different. It can be used when a Foundation Establishment cultivator is off guard. Once it hits, even a Qi Refining cultivator can defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Shopkeeper Fang's words were tempting, but Wu Ming knew how powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators were. Even if the Bone-Piercing Needle could hit a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how difficult would it be to defeat them? Every Foundation Establishment cultivator didn't have their own trump cards. This Bone-Piercing Needle was indeed good, but the price had to be kept low.

"Such a good thing, how come it hasn't been sold yet? Shopkeeper Fang should understand the reason. The price of this bone-penetrating needle is too high. If it could be cheaper, I would accept it. Shopkeeper Fang, please consider it. Let's take a look at the other treasures in your store first."

Shopkeeper Fang also knew that the price of the bone-penetrating needle was a bit inflated, mainly because the refining of the bone-penetrating needle was too complicated. Their Fang family wasted too much energy in refining the bone-penetrating needle, so the price was set so high. They also hoped to meet someone who didn't know the business and sell it to them.

But after hearing what Wu Ming said, he knew that Wu Ming was knowledgeable and not easy to fool, so he could only open the second box and introduce

"This item is called the Shocking Spirit Talisman, a low-level second-tier talisman. When released, it forms several spiritual sword blades, causing a split-second attack on the enemy's consciousness. A cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage who is struck will either be killed or become unconscious and vegetative. A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage will also be dazed for a few breaths. The price is seventy-five spirit stones per piece."

"I wonder how many Shocking God Talismans you have in stock?"

Although this Shocking God Talisman is not very powerful, Wu Ming does not despise it. As long as it can be of some use to a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he does not want to miss it.

"We have three Shocking Spirit Talismans in our shop right now. Would you like to have them, Fellow Daoist Wu? I can give you a discount."

Hearing Wu Ming's question, Shopkeeper Fang knew that he had met a big customer. Generally, cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage would like to break a spirit stone into several pieces to use, and it would be great if they could have a few hundred spirit stones on them.

Who could be like Fellow Daoist Wu, casually spending a few hundred spirit stones to buy talismans? Fellow Daoist Wu must be from a large sect and have considerable wealth. Since Wu Ming was not wearing the sect's attire, Shopkeeper Fang did not know Wu Ming's identity.

"Okay, since Shopkeeper Fang is so generous, I, Wu, am not stingy either. I'll take all three talismans. If you have any other treasures, Shopkeeper Fang, please continue."

"The next treasure is a low-level second-level invisibility talisman. It can hide a person's form for the duration of an incense stick. As long as one doesn't use their true energy, they won't be visible. It's a must-have talisman when traveling. The price is eighty spirit stones."

Although this invisibility talisman was quite effective, its effect overlapped with a secret technique that Wu Ming had just acquired. Wu Ming lost interest and asked the shopkeeper to introduce the next one.

Seeing that Wu Ming had no interest in the invisibility talisman, Shopkeeper Fang also picked up the last box and said, "This is a formation-breaking bead. It can be used to break formations, but it is only limited to formations below the third level. It is worth 360 spirit stones."

"Breaking Formation Beads, Shopkeeper Fang, you're not lying to me, are you? This is a treasure that only a formation master can make. Do you have such treasures in your shop? Could it be that there is a formation master in your family?"

Wu Ming was a little bit surprised when he heard about the Formation Breaking Pearl. You know, even in the huge Qingyun Sect, formation masters are not rare. He didn't expect that a cultivation family would have a formation master.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Fellow Daoist Wu. How could a small cultivation family like ours have a formation master? This formation-breaking bead is just an unexpected gain for our family. I wonder if you are interested in it."

Shopkeeper Fang seemed to be smiling when he answered, but in fact he felt a little panic in his heart, because Wu Ming had guessed it right. Their Fang family really did have a formation master, but they didn't dare to let everyone know.

You have to know that formation masters are the rarest among the hundreds of arts of cultivation. Once their enemies or demon cultivators find out, their family will probably suffer a devastating disaster.

But he didn't expect that the formation master in the family just wanted to bring more profits to the family, so he made a few treasures and placed them in the family's shop, which attracted the attention of customers.

Their family also knew that formation masters were rare, but they didn't know exactly how rare they were, so they were not too careful. After all, they were a low-level cultivation family and knew very little.

Now when he heard Wu Ming suspect that there was a formation master in their family, he also felt that the family seemed to have underestimated the rarity of formation masters.

It seems that I have to go back and report this matter to my family immediately, and ask them to take back the several formation-breaking beads and formation flags that were put on sale, so as to avoid gossip and disaster.

"Shopkeeper Fang, I want the Breaking Formation Bead, but you have to give me a discount. What other treasures do you have next?"

"No problem. All the treasures in our store are here. The rest are magical instruments. Don't you think Fellow Daoist Wu needs them?"

Seeing that Wu Ming did not delve into the matter of the formation master, he was relieved. He now just wanted to complete the transaction as soon as possible, send Wu Ming away, and then quickly return to the family to express his concerns.

"Forget about the magic tools. Since they are all here, Manager Fang, please calculate how much spirit stones they cost."

"The three Shocking God Talismans cost a total of 225 spirit stones, and the Formation Breaking Beads cost 360 spirit stones, for a total of 585 spirit stones. As a discount, I'll give you 550 spirit stones. Fellow Daoist Wu, do you still want the Bone-Piercing Needle?"

"Yes, as long as Shopkeeper Fang offers a discount, I'll take them all."

When Manager Fang heard Wu Ming say he wanted them all, he was delighted, as this was a big deal.

"Since Fellow Daoist Wu is so sincere about it, I'll give you a discount. The bone-piercing needle will cost you 250 spirit stones, which makes a total of 800 spirit stones."
