Chapter 10 The White Jade True Technique

　　Over the past three years or so, Lu Qingfeng had never slacked off. 　　First was the Greenwood Yan Yang Scripture! 　　Four reinforcements in a row, consuming a total of 150 experience points, directly reinforced the Greenwood Yan Yang Scripture to the Exquisite Grade. 　　There was an essential difference between the Exquisite Grade Merit Laws and the Primary Merit Laws. 　　For one. 　　Elementary techniques could only be cultivated up to the Foundation Establishment level at most, whereas Exquisite Grade techniques were powerful techniques that pointed directly at Jindan, and were rare in the entire Wanxiang City region and even in the 800 mountains and 1200 cities under the jurisdiction of the Seven Sword Mountain Range! 　　Secondly. 　　The internal breath refined from each layer of the Exquisite level gongfu was also not comparable to that of the primary gongfu. 　　When Lu Qingfeng cultivated the initial version of the Yan Yang Sutra, when he reached the peak of the first level of the Fetal Breath Realm, his total internal breath was only 10 points. 　　But after switching to the subtle grade "Qingmu Yan Yang Sutra" after four enhancements, the same peak of the first level of the Fetal Breath Realm, the total internal breath reached 20 points, which was double of what it was before, and it was comparable to the total amount of internal breath when one cultivated the "Yan Yang Sutra" to the peak of the second level of the Fetal Breath Realm! 　　Doubling the amount of internal energy accumulated at each level would increase the strength by more than just doubling it. 　　The durability and explosiveness were all enhanced! 　　On top of that, the quality of the internal breath had also been raised from primary to subtle, strengthening the characteristic of the 'power of the hot sun', and raising the battle power by another level! 　　"Also at the first level of the Fetal Breath Realm, even if I don't use martial arts or techniques, with twice the amount of internal breath, the quality of the subtle grade internal breath, and the characteristic of the Power of Yan Yang, with my current strength, even if I were to face three or five people who have cultivated the 'Yan Yang Scripture', I would still be able to defeat them!" 　　Lu Qingfeng appeared to be stagnant in his rank, but in reality, he had not stopped accumulating his reserves for a moment! 　　This Yan Yang power sounded ordinary, but the effect was exceptionally remarkable. 　　The internal breath that contained the power of Yan Yang was more powerful and explosive. It was also a great addition to fire-attribute techniques and martial arts such as the Fire Bomb Technique and the Burning Heart Palm. 　　With the Fire Bomb Technique and the Burning Heart Palm working together, coupled with the strength of the Exquisite Grade Technique, Lu Qingfeng was even able to fight across several levels at the Fetal Breath Realm level! 　　"Fire Bomb Technique, Luo Smoke Steps, and Burning Heart Palm, with the three arts working together, there are means of defending the enemy in both distant and close combat. The only thing that is lacking right now is a defense-type art technique." 　　Lu Qingfeng sat in front of the stall and pondered over the art technique pairing. 　　Even though he had a hundred times time difference, he still cherished time immensely and was unwilling to waste it easily. 　　More than three years was not a long time for Lu Qingfeng, a 'Root Bone: 1' wastrel. Apart from the time delayed in reality, Lu Qingfeng was only able to utilize two years. 　　These two years had to both deal with medicinal herbs in exchange for the Valley Rescuing Pill and Yellow Dragon Pill in order to survive and cultivate. He also had to cultivate gongfu and study the art of alchemy, and the time he could spare to cultivate his arts was not much. 　　So he couldn't afford to cast his net all over the place, he could only make targeted choices. 　　The Fire Bomb Technique belonged to the more powerful of the low-ranked techniques that could be mastered at the Fetal Breath Realm. After the second reinforcement and the increase in the power of Yan Yang, it was even more extraordinary and suitable for long-distance attacks. 　　The Burning Heart Palm was a fire-attribute palm technique, and with the secondary enhancement and the increase in the power of Yan Yang, it was not bad in close combat. A palm shot out, like a red-hot iron, can destroy the heart and lungs! 　　Luo Yan Steps was a lightweight stance. When fighting against the enemy, it is flexible and versatile. Once they are defeated, they can also use it to get out of the way. 　　As for the last Heavenly Eye Technique, it is a technique that cultivators must learn, able to observe the cultivator's cultivation, so that they know their roots, in order to be invincible! 　　To be able to master four arts in such a short period of time was already the limit of what Lu Qingfeng could do. For that matter, the last mastered, Luo Yan Steps and Burning Heart Palm, were still unskilled and needed a lot of time to practice. 　　"Brother Lu, two bottles of Grain Resisting Pills." 　　While pondering, a middle-aged Daoist stood in front of the stall. 　　Lu Qingfeng collected his mind and looked at the visitor. 　　"So it's Big Brother Fang, did this trip to Silver Light Mountain go well?" 　　This 'Big Brother Fang' was an old player that Lu Qingfeng had met half a year ago, his name was Fang Jiu, his appearance was rough, he was already in his forties, and he had been stuck at the third level of the True Qi Realm for ten years. 　　Nowadays, he was looking around for opportunities in an attempt to raise his cultivation level. 　　"It's not too bad, I got a Blood Spirit Grass, it's not a wasted trip." Fang Jiu said on his lips that he didn't care, but his face was already smiling. 　　"Blood Spirit Grass?" 　　"This is good stuff, congratulations to Big Brother Fang!" 　　Blood Spirit Grass, was a spirit grass that looked like the common herb Red Oil Flower. But the difference between the two was not ordinary. 　　Ordinary medicinal herbs, at best, could only concoct low-grade pills such as the Grain Rescue Pill and the Yellow Dragon Pill, or intermediate-level pills such as the Golden Marrow Pill. 　　On the other hand, spirit grasses and spirit medicines, even if they were only the lowest grade first-order spirit grasses, were able to be used as the main medicines of high-grade pills and top-grade pills, and were exceptionally precious. 　　With just one Blood Spirit Grass, Fang Jiu's trip to Silver Light Mountain was considered to be fully loaded. 　　Looking at his red face, he knew that besides the Blood Spirit Grass, he was afraid that he had some other harvests as well. 　　"Haha!" 　　Fang Jiu laughed loudly at his words. 　　He was indeed in a good mood as he had harvested a lot on this trip. 　　Receiving the two bottles of Grain Resisting Pills handed over by Lu Qingfeng, Fang Jiu yanked a cloth bag from his waist and handed it over to Lu Qingfeng, "Here are three hundred basic medicinal herbs, Brother Lu, you order them?" 　　"Elder brother Fang is joking." 　　"But next time, trouble old brother to treat these herbs a little better, you're lapping it up as a sack, it's really-" 　　Lu Qingfeng propped open the mouth of the bag to take a look, hundreds of medicinal herbs stained with fresh soil mixed together, selling appearance is really not good. 　　"Old brother I lick blood from the head of a sword, Silver Light Mountain that place demonic beasts, ferocious beasts all over the place, ripped these medicinal herbs and left, where is the time to organize." Fang Jiu laughed out loud, raised two bottles of grain-repelling pills in his hands, and said, "Let's go first, there are still some things to get out of the way." 　　Seeing this, Lu Qingfeng even said, "Elder Brother Fang no longer replenishes some talismans?" 　　"Talismans?" 　　"Then, I'll patronize Old Huang's business for the sake of Brother Lu!" 　　Fang Jiu stopped and really bought a bunch of Blazing Flame Talismans, a bunch of Hundred Ice Talismans, and a bunch of Golden Light Talismans from Lu Qingfeng's stall before leaving. 　　But it was a bit inappropriate to say that it was Lu Qingfeng's stall. 　　This stall belonged to Huang Luo, the same person that Lu Qingfeng met three years ago when he first came to the bazaar. 　　From that time onwards, Lu Qingfeng came to the bazaar every few months during his game time, as a sort of spice up after his cultivation. After a while, he had gotten to know Huang Luo. 　　Lu Qingfeng had delved into the art of alchemy for such a long time, and had roughly mastered the refining of the Grain Resisting Dan. 　　As for the more complex and precious Yellow Dragon Dan, occasionally with good luck he was able to refine one or two inferior ones out. If one's luck is not good, one furnace of materials will be wasted, and it is common to lose one's blood money. 　　The Yellow Dragon Pill is not to be mentioned. 　　This Pure Valley Dan is used to practice, skill, Lu Qingfeng himself can not use so much. So what is left over, is taken out to the bazaar to sell. 　　The rental fee for a stall in the bazaar is not expensive, Lu Qingfeng does not have the capital to take. Fortunately, Huang Luo's heart was kind, after learning about it, he agreed to let Lu Qingfeng use his stall when he was in seclusion to draw talismans. 　　Daoist Huang Luo also didn't charge Lu Qingfeng for the rental fee, only letting him sell the Pure Valley Pills while helping him hawk the talismans in the meantime. 　　Lu Qingfeng was overjoyed and gladly accepted. 　　Daoist Huang Luo's talismans were not bad in quality, and Lu Qingfeng's grain-preventing pills were even more trivial. 　　The Alchemy Explanation had been strengthened twice, resulting in a Dan formula that was three times more subtle than the one circulating in the Luo Sheng Alchemy Workshop as well as the Black Sand Town. 　　Ordinary Grain Resistant Dan can resist grain for six days, but Lu Qingfeng's Grain Resistant Dan made with the "Pill Refining Analysis" can resist grain for eight days, and the price was only increased by 20%. 　　The price was fair and naturally retained many repeat customers, Fang Jiu was one of them. 　　In this way. 　　Lu Qingfeng's grain-expelling pills, sold together with Daoist Huang Luo's talismans, were actually not too bad. 　　"The normal price of an ordinary grain-preventing Dan is ten processed basic herbs, an alchemy apprentice who is skilled in grain-preventing Dan refining, the cost of refining a grain-preventing Dan is no more than five basic herbs, and this includes the failure rate. The profit is more than twice as much." 　　"The Valley-Resisting Dan that I refined, a bottle of twelve capsules, sells for one hundred and fifty basic medicinal materials, and on average, each Valley-Resisting Dan can be sold for twelve and a half basic medicinal materials, while the combined cost is only four basic medicinal materials." 　　"A full three times the profit!" 　　Regardless of whether it was alchemy, artifact refining or talisman painting, they were all extremely money burning skills. 　　As in the case of Lu Qingfeng, although he had mastered the refining of the Purging Pill at the moment, it was even more of a threefold profit. 　　But before that, there were more than thousands of medicinal herbs that were refined and wasted! 　　Even now, because he had to delve into the refining of the Yellow Dragon Pill, even more herbs were wasted. The basic herbs earned from the Rescue Dan were not even enough to fill this bottomless pit. 　　Almost everyone of the alchemy apprentices and alchemists, except for those with superb talent, had suffered through this. Those whose families were not rich enough could not afford to play. 　　This also led to the fact that with a population of half a million people and over 200,000 cultivators in Black Sand Town, the number of alchemy apprentices did not exceed a hundred! 　　Of those hundred, there were also a large majority of low and intermediate level alchemy apprentices, with only a very small number of them being able to reach the advanced and top levels! 　　"My talent in alchemy is average, it's good that I have the Diffractive Method function to strengthen the Dan formula, so that I don't have to live beyond my means." 　　Lu Qingfeng let out a sigh of emotion, then he closed his eyes, comprehending the Green Wood Yan Yang Scripture. 　　In the blink of an eye, it was evening. 　　...... 　　"Qingfeng, the Horizontal Refinement Martial Arts you wanted has been found." Daoist Huang Luo arrived and brought Lu Qingfeng good news as soon as he arrived. 　　"Found it?" 　　"Many thanks, Brother Huang!" 　　Lu Qingfeng's face was overjoyed. 　　Nowadays, he had all the techniques of long-distance attack, melee combat, and lightweight movement, but he was only missing a defense technique. Daoist Huang Luo was a senior talisman apprentice with a wide network of people. 　　Lu Qingfeng asked him to look for him. 　　He didn't expect that in just a few days, he would have it. 　　Lu Qingfeng looked at Daoist Huang Luo with bated breath, when Daoist Huang Luo saw this, he shook his head and laughed, "You're new to The Flood, you should still focus on cultivation. Techniques and alchemy can be put on the back burner. You know, this cultivation can not tolerate half a bit of slowness, one step behind, step behind, when you ......" 　　Saying that, Daoist Huang Luo couldn't help but ramble on. 　　Afterward, he looked up and saw Lu Qingfeng with a taught expression, casually threw out a volume of secret books and said, "That's just it, you can't listen to it even if you say more. This White Jade True Technique is owned by a friend of mine, practiced to the limit it can ignore attacks at the Fetal Breath Realm level and has no physical changes, it meets your requirements, right?" 　　[Technique: White Jade True Technique] 　　[Grade: Low level, three layers] 　　[Description: Horizontal refining martial arts, practiced to the extreme, the body is like white jade, and all laws within the Fetal Breath realm are invulnerable! 　　"Conforms to conform!" 　　Lu Qingfeng hastily accepted the White Jade True Technique. 　　With this martial art, his last shortcoming was even made up for. 　　"Brother Huang, how much did this White Jade True Skill cost?" Lu Qingfeng looked at Daoist Huang Luo and asked. 　　"Martial arts at the Fetal Breath Realm level are not worth much, but the White Jade True Skill belongs to the top martial arts at the Fetal Breath Realm level, and after reaching the True Qi Realm level, it also has a few increases in strength, a total of five Spirit Stone Fragments." The corner of Daoist Huang Luo's mouth rose slightly as he faintly said. 　　"Five Spirit Stone Fragments?!" 　　Lu Qingfeng's expression stagnated. 　　As Daoist Huang Luo had said, ordinary Fetal Breath Realm level arts and martial arts were not worth anything. Such as the Luo Smoke Steps and the Burning Heart Palm, none of them had more than one Spirit Stone Fragment. 　　But this White Jade True Technique was actually more than five times as much as both! 　　The purchasing power of a Spirit Stone Fragment was so powerful that it was able to purchase a hundred Yellow Dragon Pills or ten Golden Marrow Pills. 　　The White Jade True Technique! 　　Five hundred Yellow Dragon Dan grains? 　　"Alright, don't make such a gesture." 　　"I've already advanced you five spirit stone fragments, so I'll just pay them back later. I see that you do have a talent for alchemy, but you still need to hurry up with your cultivation. Three or four years and you're still hanging around at the first level of the Fetal Breath Realm, I really don't know how you kid cultivate!" 　　Daoist Huang Luo shook his head with a helpless expression. 　　"Many thanks, Brother Huang!" 　　"Qingfeng will definitely pay it back as soon as possible!" 　　Lu Qingfeng hurriedly thanked him, he was indeed shy at this time. 　　The failure rate of refining the Yellow Dragon Pill was as high as ninety-five percent, and all of his family's assets had been placed on this. Nowadays, there were only twenty or so Yellow Dragon Dan on his body, which was quite a bit short of the five Spirit Stone Fragments (five hundred Yellow Dragon Dan). 　　"Go go go!" 　　"Don't hang around in front of me, it's distracting to watch!" 　　Daoist Huang Luo waved his hand. 　　Lu Qingfeng smiled and accompanied Daoist Huang Luo for a while before getting up and leaving.
