General Shi Liang Jin carefully hid the scroll in his hand. He was thrilled and excited. Mr. Qinglian's painting is worth more than just 6,666 taels of gold. In his hands, this painting can be sold for at least 10,000 taels of gold. Doubling it is totally fine. If I meet a die-hard fan of Qinglian Jushi, I might sell it at a higher price, but I won’t lose anything anyway. As for Taoist Taihua and Su Changyu. The two men walked out of the pawnshop in a daze, holding the precious banknotes. Six thousand six hundred and sixty-six taels of gold. This is a huge sum of money for Qingyun Taoist Sect. If you calculate it all, it would take the entire Qingyun Taoist Sect hundreds of years to earn that much.
The sudden huge sum of money made Taoist Taihua and Su Changyu a little overwhelmed. They didn't even know what to do next. "Master, what shall we do next?" Su Changyu was a little confused. "Go pay the money first, then go to the Secret Yuan Pavilion." Taoist Taihua came back to his senses and immediately sorted out his thoughts. "Secret Yuan Pavilion?" Su Changyu was a little surprised. Miyuan Pavilion is a famous shop in Baiguo City, specializing in selling secret manuals and magical tools. Generally speaking, even third-grade sects rarely go to Miyuan Pavilion. "This money is earned by Junior Brother for our Qingyun Dao Sect. I plan to buy him some secret manuals and some good things to replenish his body. Since he is a genius, we will do our best to train him. After all, he is now the hope of our Qingyun Dao Sect." “In the future, promotion to the third, second, or even first-grade sect may all depend on him.” Taoist Taihua said this, which made Su Changyu admire Taoist Taihua's resourcefulness. Soon, Taoist Taihua went to the sect office, paid one hundred taels of gold with great pain, and then took Su Changyu to the Miyuan Pavilion. After a stick of incense. Taoist Taihua and Su Changyu came to the outside of Miyuan Pavilion. The Miyuan Pavilion is luxuriously decorated. Outside the facade alone, there are two jade-carved stone lions, which exude a sense of wealth at all times. "Please come in, two Immortals." A maid in green walked out of the Miyuan Pavilion. She had a pretty face and took the initiative to greet Taoist Taihua and Su Changyu with a smile. She was not snobbish at all and her service attitude was very good. Taoist Taihua walked in and Su Changyu followed him.
"Is this the first time for the two Immortals to come to the Secret Yuan Pavilion?" The maid in green had tea served and followed behind him, asking with a faint smile. "Yeah, it's my first time here." Taoist Taihua is a shrewd man who has seen many scenes, big and small, and his expression is very calm. Although Su Changyu is a little panicked in his heart, he appears calm on the surface. "Those two Immortals, do you want to buy magical instruments or secret manuals?" The maid in green continued to ask. "Secret book." Taoist Taihua spoke directly. Things like magic weapons and blades are not needed for the time being. The most urgent thing is the secret manual. After all, with what Su Changyu has, it would be easy for him to be exposed if he wanted to fool Ye Ping. "Okay, the two immortals, follow me to the second floor." The maid in green led the two of them up to the second floor. "What kind of secret skills does the Immortal need?" The woman in green asked. "A swordsmanship manual of the first rank is required." Taoist Taihua said in an extremely heroic manner. Upon hearing the first word, the green-dressed lady's beautiful eyes lit up. The secret manuals of martial arts are divided into three categories: low-grade, third-grade, second-grade, first-grade, and super-grade. Above the super-grade is another level of secret manuals that can only be practiced by those at the Nascent Soul stage. A first-grade sword manual is worth at least hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones. This is really a big business. "Change the tea for the two immortals." The maid in green gave a look to the servant girls and asked them to change another kind of tea. But soon, Taoist Taihua continued, "Just the enlightenment chapter." He certainly couldn't afford a complete first-grade sword manual, but the enlightenment chapter was enough. The fact that Ye Ping could suddenly realize the complete Four Thunder Swordsmanship from a sword mark proved that Ye Ping had unparalleled talent. So what was the point of having a complete manual? “No need to change.” The maid in green was stunned, then gave a look, telling the maids not to change. The sword manual of the Enlightenment Chapter cannot be sold for many spirit stones even if it is of the first grade. The so-called Enlightenment Chapter may only have a dozen sword moves. But since they were guests, the green-clad maid did not treat them badly. Soon, the green-clad maid brought Taoist Taihua to the library and began to select sword manuals.
There are not many first-grade sword manuals, and there are only three sets in the entire Miyuan Pavilion. "My Lord, these three sets of sword manuals are the Three Yuan Golden Sun Swordsmanship, the River River Swordsmanship, and the Seven Star Swordsmanship. The price of the three sword manuals is 500 spirit stones each." The green maid said so. "Five hundred spirit stones?" Taoist Taihua was a little surprised. "The Four Thunder Swordsmanship Introductory Chapter shouldn't be so expensive, right?" Taoist Taihua frowned, not because he was reluctant to part with so many spirit stones, but mainly because he wanted to keep some money to buy something else for Ye Ping. It would definitely not be enough to just buy the sword manual. "Sir, you misunderstood. The Four Thunder Sword Techniques are widely spread in Qingzhou, and these four books are all blessed with secret methods. Viewers can quickly comprehend the sword techniques, so five hundred spirit stones per book is not expensive." The latter chuckled. For a moment, Taoist Taihua fell silent. He thought the sword technique would be very cheap. The Four Thunder Sword Technique was not that expensive at the time. But he didn't expect the opening price to be 500 low-grade spirit stones, which was equivalent to 5,000 taels of gold. "Of course, we are also having a promotion recently, which can save 50 low-grade spirit stones." The other party laughed. However, Taoist Taihua remained silent. He hesitated for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth, looked at the maid in green and asked, "Which one is the strongest?" he asked. "My Lord, among these three sword manuals, the most powerful one is the River-Chuan Sword Technique. The sword's power is like a river, which is very impressive. If your disciple has excellent aptitude, he may be able to comprehend a higher level of sword technique, the Spiritual Sea Sword Technique." The green maid said so. "Can you suddenly comprehend a higher level of Spiritual Sea Sword Technique?" Taoist Taihua was a little surprised. "Yes, the Chuanhe Sword Technique is a super-grade sword technique, a simplified version of the Linghai Sword Technique. If one has excellent aptitude, one may be able to suddenly realize the Linghai Sword Technique. This is one of the three major sword techniques of the Jin State Lingjian School." The other party said so. For a moment, Taoist Taihua was surprised. "In that case, let's choose this one. By the way, do you have any Qi-training pills or Qi-benefiting pills?" Taoist Taihua asked. "Yes, a top-grade Qi-training pill costs one spirit stone, a Qi-boosting pill costs four spirit stones, a mid-grade Qi-training pill costs two spirit stones, and a low-grade Qi-training pill costs five spirit stones. Which one do you need, Immortal?" The maid in green continued to ask.
"Top grade, fifty Qi-training pills, two hundred Qi-boosting pills." Taoist Taihua didn't think much about it. Since he had money in his pocket, he didn't want to buy some inferior food for Ye Ping to eat. Medicine itself is three-quarters poisonous. The better the quality, the lower the toxicity. High-quality medicine will not have a big impact and can help Ye Ping embark on the path of cultivation earlier. Ye Ping has a strong talent for swordsmanship, but his talent for cultivation is very poor, and Taoist Taihua understands this. Having a strong talent in swordsmanship is a good thing, but one must also keep up with the practice. Even if it is not good enough, at least one must perfect the Qi training, right? It would be okay if you meet a cultivator in the Qi Condensation Realm, as you can fight him if you have strong attainments in the swordsmanship. But if you meet a strong man in the Foundation Establishment Realm, then you can just wait for death, and condensing the sword intent will be of no use. "Okay, wait a moment, Immortal." The maid in green didn't waste any time and had everything ready in less than a moment. There are a total of five hundred and fifty spirit stones, which is equivalent to five thousand five hundred taels of gold in treasure notes. Before leaving, Taoist Taihua gritted his teeth and bought two cold iron swords. They were not magical weapons but top-level ordinary weapons. The five hundred taels of gold were chopped down to four hundred and sixty-six taels by Taoist Taihua. At this moment, Taoist Taihua only had 600 taels of gold left. Just after walking out of the Miyuan Pavilion. Taoist Taihua suddenly remembered something. Chapter 23 Late at night, the master's wife knocked on my door [New book asks for everything] Outside the Miyuan Pavilion. Taoist Taihua suddenly thought of something. He looked at Su Changyudao. "Chang Yu, are your second and third junior brothers going to take the alchemist and array master exams at the end of the year?" Taoist Taihua suddenly thought of it. "It seems so. The fourth one will also take part in the talisman test." Su Changyu replied. "That's right, buy them some secret books." Taoist Taihua opened his mouth and suddenly thought of his other disciples. "Then let's go in again." Su Changyu disagreed. "Where?" Taoist Taihua was a little curious. "Go into the Secret Yuan Pavilion."
Su Changyu was also a little confused. Didn't he want to buy the secret book? He went to the Secret Yuan Pavilion to buy it. "You have to come here to buy it for them? You can't spend money like this even if you have a lot of money." Taoist Taihua shook his head, then took Su Changyu outside. After a stick of incense. At the monks’ market in Baiguo City. In addition to the shops, there are long queues of stalls outside the doors, selling all kinds of strange and exotic things.
