Chapter 329 - 163: Sky Roc Transformation, I Have a Friend at the Foundation Establishment Stage !
His hesitancy left Luo Chen puzzled.
But having this channel was undoubtedly excellent.
The Yu Ding Sword Pavilion had been completely annihilated and all businesses of the Medicine King Sect had left.
His original plan to purchase Foundation Establishment Pills from The Great River auction seemed bleak.
And if he were to go to other markets, he was unknown, likely struggling to get a slice of the Foundation Establishment Pill pie.
His only hope now was the Zhenlong Black Market.
A force that dared to kill a Yu Ding Golden Core Sword Cultivator surely could produce a few Foundation Establishment Pills, to suppose otherwise would be a joke.
“The matter of cooperation, perhaps we can consider it seriously.”
Luo Chen thought to himself, not intending to refuse Tian Xingzi.
Aside from cultivation resources, he also had to consider herbal ingredients.
The batch of Blood Ignition Pills was the result of his accumulated raw materials.
If he wanted to continue refining Blood Ignition Pills, he would have to purchase the corresponding herbs.
Both the Explosive Monkey Demon blood and Tian Yang Fruit were easy enough to find, he could get them from the Lianyun Business Union.
However, no one in The Great River District had the primary ingredient, Earth Fire Evil Qi.
If he didn’t want to cut off this source of income, his only option was to cooperate.
“Let’s leave Tian Xingzi hanging for a while!”
Cooperation should not be agreed upon too quickly, at least not until he saw the other party’s sincerity.
After reaching an agreement, Tian Xingzi withdrew the Sound Isolation cover.
By this time, the black market trading segment had finished its second round and moved to the final free trading session.
Luo Chen, having no particular targets, began to drift among the crowd of cultivators.
His partially opened Spirit Vision tried to pick up any good deals.
Every cultivator dreamed of this.
However, after a full circle, he hadn’t come across any good deals.
Suddenly, Luo Chen stopped near two people.
“I’ve never seen Brother Wang so red-faced before!”
Luo Chen nears them, laughing.
Instantly, he received stares from both men.
Arguing with Wang Yuan was, unexpectedly, a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.
He was a sturdy figure, burlier than Wang Yuan himself, looking like a demon bear.
It was the Foundation Establishment True Cultivator that had given Luo Chen a familiar feeling!
He glared at Luo Chen with a fierce expression, as if warning him not to get too close.
But Wang Yuan furrowed his brow and stepped in front of Luo Chen.
“He’s my friend.”
The Foundation Establishment True Cultivator snorted coldly, “Good, then you two can pool your Spirit Stones. Maybe you can afford this technique.” “Technique?”
Luo Chen peeked out, puzzled.
In Wang Yuan’ s hand was a primitive and ancient piece of beast skin.
There was a prohibition shining on it, revealing only a small amount of content.
But even that small amount of content was enough to entice Wang Yuan.
“It’s an incomplete Body Refinement technique that could be of great use to me.”
“But they’re asking too high a price, refusing to sell for less than seven thousand spirit stones.”
A sound transmission came to his ear, different from other cultivators’ Spirit Power transmission. It was Wang Yuan’s unique way of focusing sound into a narrow beam.
The primary factor was the fine handling of Qi Strength, layered with Spirit Power.
Although it didn’t compare to Foundation Establishment Stage’s Spirit Consciousness transmission, it could still prevent Foundation Establishment Cultivators from eavesdropping.
Wang Yuan had also taught Luo Chen this method in his spare time.
But till now, Luo Chen hadn’t learned it.
Qi Strength?
He knew nothing about it!
Luo Chen hummed an acknowledgment and lowered his head to look at it.
He was curious to see what technique was worth seven thousand spirit stones.
And it was incomplete to boot!
“Sky Roc Transformation”
The technique’s content in the front was sparse, mainly theoretical explanations.
It involved incorporating the blood essence of roc-like demon beasts into one’s body for cultivation.
Upon reaching completion stage, one could briefly transform into the true form of the demon beast whose blood essence they had fused with, greatly enhancing combat power.
However, this technique required a lot of physical strength from the cultivator.
“No wonder Wang Yuan attaches such importance to this method. The utilization of Qi and the body is just the tip of the iceberg, but it is already hugely beneficial. If practiced completely…”
“Unfortunately, it’s only an incomplete Body Refinement method.”
Another transmission from Wang Yuan echoed in his ears.
“This technique was found by the cultivator in an ancient relic of Sky Capital Peak and is at the Third Order of Body Refinement.”
“If I were to get it, even though I can’t cultivate it, I could assimilate its essence and combine it with what I’ve learned so far to complete my Natal Qi Technique for the Second Realm of Body Refinement.”
By this approach, he could hone his Natal Qi Technique with the help of more advanced techniques.
Especially when this advanced technique far surpassed his own technique.
A Natal Qi Technique of Third Order Body Refinement!
No wonder a mere fragment dared to demand such a high price.
In reality, this price was quite low.
Unlike techniques, the price of cultivation methods was always high.
Even the Longevity Technique Luo Chen knew, despite being a simplified version, started bidding at five hundred spirit stones in the black market.
Five hundred?
He’d only spent two hundred on buying five bundled Technique Secret Manuals back in the day.
The advanced version of Longevity Technique – Yi Mu Medicine King Sutra started bidding at five thousand spirit stones.
And right now, it couldn’t be found at any price.
At least, he had not seen it on auction at the Zhenlong Black Market.
There’s no advanced version of the Longevity Technique anymore.
If there were, it would be the Medicine King Sect’s ultimate method – the Evergreen Sutra.
Both the Longevity Technique and Yi Mu Medicine King Sutra sprang from the Evergreen Sutra.
Such a technique would never appear in the Immortal Cultivation World.
If it did, it would probably start bidding at tens of thousands of spirit stones.
That’s the grandeur of Third Order techniques.
Its price was no lower than magical items!
Luo Chen shook his head, “An incomplete fragment for seven thousand is indeed quite expensive.”
He said this to the Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.
The cultivator sneered, “Will you buy it or not?”
