"Fellow Daoist, what would you like to buy?" A shop assistant greeted her with clasped hands. "Our shop sells cultivation techniques from Qi Refining to Core Formation, as well as a full range of spells. Prices are fair, and we treat everyone honestly!"

Qi cultivation?

Core Formation?

What kind of martial art is it?

The girl was stunned.

She gripped the branch at her waist tightly.

[Let me introduce a method of practicing Qigong.]

"Let me introduce the Qi cultivation method," the girl said in a serious tone.

The shop assistant quickly glanced at her, staring at the bundle on her shoulder and then at the six spirit stones in her hand, before smiling and saying, "Please come in!"

The shop assistant led the girl inside.

The shop was simply furnished, with a table in the middle and beams of light on the surrounding walls, in which countless jade slips were laid out, making it somewhat like a gun shop.

On the jade slip, a phantom sat cross-legged, continuously demonstrating the techniques, showing the guest the advantages—and disadvantages? You'll know once you practice it yourself, no need for further explanation.

A delicate fragrance wafted from somewhere, refreshing the mind and eyes.

"What is your name, fellow Daoist?" the shop assistant asked before making the introduction.

The girl, captivated by the scene before her, blushed instantly. After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke:

"'god'."

“Fellow Daoist Shen,” the shopkeeper said with a smile, “look at this cultivation technique, the Cloud and Rain Green Wood Technique. Its cultivation path is very stable and will never cause you to go into qi deviation. It also comes with the ‘Cloud and Rain Technique,’ making it suitable for planting spiritual plants. It can also prolong life, beautify the skin, and nourish the complexion. It only costs ten spirit stones.”

On this jade slip, a small, illusory figure summoned a small cloud, from which rain fell.

They can command the wind and rain!

If she had learned this magic, she wouldn't have been sold by her parents to be a maid!

The girl was excited, but she didn't speak, waiting for the deity to speak.

Li Changzhou remained silent.

The shop assistant, observing the situation, walked forward again, saying:

"Take a look at this one, 'Blazing Inferno Technique,' a fire-based cultivation method with a built-in 'Fireball Technique,' a top-tier method in combat. If Fellow Daoist Shen has talent in alchemy or weapon crafting, this technique is also excellent! And it only costs ten spirit stones!"

The girl didn't speak, but stared at the figure on the jade slip. The little figure made a spell and chanted an incantation. A fireball the size of a ping-pong ball flew out and melted a piece of iron.

With this magic, she's going to make Master Liu bleed profusely!

"Take a look at this door," the shopkeeper stepped forward, "The Gengjin Sword Qi Technique, a metal-elemental martial art, is equally powerful in combat. It comes with its own 'Golden Light Technique,' which, when attached to an iron pickaxe, is also excellent for mining."

The girl remained silent.

The shop assistant then introduced seven or eight more martial arts techniques, all of which were excellent.

But the girl remained silent.

Unable to contain himself any longer, the shop assistant finally asked, "Fellow Daoist Shen, if you have any needs, please feel free to speak up. Our shop will certainly satisfy you. In this Qingyuefang, our shop has the most complete collection of cultivation techniques."

Li Changzhou finally spoke.

【Cloud and Rain Green Wood Skill】

The girl was already bewildered. These methods to achieve immortality were placed right within her reach, and could be bought simply by spending spirit stones. She couldn't believe it.

Lost in the lake, it didn't stop her from repeating the words of the deity.

"Yunyu Qingmu Gong," she said.

"Alright!" The shop assistant waved his hand, and the jade slip containing the "Cloud and Rain Green Wood Technique" flew out from the pillar of light, hovering above his palm. "Ten spirit stones. Would you like to pay with spirit stones, or what will you use to offset this price?"

Too expensive

"Too expensive," the girl said enviously.

The shop assistant gave a wry smile: "Fellow Daoist Shen, these cultivation techniques are all clearly priced, and they even come with a low-level spell. It's already a great deal. A low-level spell alone would cost three spirit stones."

"Then three spirit stones."

"Then three spirit stones."

"..." The shop assistant paused for a moment.

“That won’t do.” He shook his head. “It really won’t do. We don’t allow bargaining here. If you really want it, Fellow Daoist Shen, I can only give you a 10% discount because you’re young. It will only cost you nine spirit stones.”

Four pieces.

"Four pieces."

The shop assistant just smiled wryly and didn't say anything.

Five dollars.

Five yuan.

The shop assistant picked up the jade slip and gently tossed it into the air. The jade slip flew back into the pillar of light. He said helplessly, "Fellow Daoist Shen, it really won't work."

"Six yuan." The girl spread her hands. "It's all here. If you don't like it, I'm leaving."

"This—" The shop assistant was very embarrassed, but then he gritted his teeth and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go ask the owner and try my best to get the price down for you!"

Go immediately.

"Go quickly."

The shop assistant clasped his hands in a fist salute and immediately went upstairs. After a short while, he came down, covered in sweat, with a happy expression on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, it's done! For just six spirit stones, this 'Cloud and Rain Green Wood Technique,' which will never cause you to go mad and comes with the 'Cloud and Rain Technique,' is yours!"

The shop assistant took down the jade slip again and took out a spirit contract.

Li Changzhou scanned the spiritual contract with his divine sense and found that, in addition to the clause that the seller would not be responsible for anything after leaving the store, there were also requirements such as not disclosing or reselling the cultivation technique.

The girl pretended to examine the spirit contract, repeating aloud, "You're not lying to me, are you? You really won't suffer a qi deviation?"

"Don't worry! If you really go astray in your cultivation, we'll give you a full refund or replacement! If you're still worried, we can write that down!"

The girl nodded in satisfaction.

The shop assistant looked at her with a smile. If she really went mad, would she still be able to come to the store and ask for a refund or exchange? She'd be lucky to even be alive.

The girl suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Is the 'Cloud and Rain Technique' really worth three spirit stones?"

"Wow, that's worth it! Look, this is the spell zone!"

The shop assistant then led the girl to a wall with magical lamps on it, in which figures were practicing spells.

Under the spell lamp of the "Cloud and Rain Technique," the price was indeed marked as three spirit stones.
