...More than three thousand, if I take them to the auction house, selling them for over four thousand shouldn’t be too much, right?
Ji Yuan nodded, and as if he rembered sothing, casually asked:
"Dragon Blood Stone is quite rare; where did he get it from, do you know?"
"Dragon Blood Stone... I heard he traded with Master Duomu from Tianmu Mountain. That Master Duomu found quite a few Dragon Blood Stones when he went out to sea years ago."
Tianmu Mountain... Ji Yuan recalled the geographical map and found where this Tianmu Mountain was.
It’s to the northeast of South Sea City, not far from Thunder Shock Marsh. In that case, I could take a slight detour when going to the Thunder Shock Marsh to see if I can trade with Master Duomu.
After silently noting this matter, Ji Yuan also put away the two storage bags in his hand.
For now, I don’t know when exactly the Ice and Fire Elder will send to the strange pond to condense the flying sword, but it shouldn’t be too long.
So in these two or three days, I can only use the ti for cultivation.
With this thought, Ji Yuan seed to think of sothing else, and he turned back to look at Ye Zhiqiu behind him.
"Li... Young Master Li, what are you...?"
Ye Zhiqiu instinctively took half a step back.
Because the cultivator in front of her, who seed to be only at the mid-stage Foundation Establishnt, was far superior to her in terms of ans and background... In her mind, Ye Zhiqiu even had a thought.
Truly following beside him as a maidservant didn’t seem like a bad idea.
Li Changshou had a good temperant and didn’t seem to have any strange habits, unlike soone who would demand her to accompany him to bed.
The most important thing was that once I beca his maidservant, it would be no different from directly joining a Nascent Soul Family.
Even though he was an illegitimate child, the fact that the Li Family Patriarch could give him a Golden Core stage Corpse Puppet showed that he was quite favored in the Li Family.
No matter how you analyze it, he is worth my allegiance as a Loose Cultivator.
So is he looking at like this to have show my loyalty?
Just as Ye Zhiqiu was thinking of bowing to him, she heard Ji Yuan ask, "How did you avoid the Divine Soul killing move?"
...So it was about this; I thought it was sothing else.
Ye Zhiqiu felt slightly disappointed, but she didn’t hesitate at all. Her right hand flipped slightly, revealing a scroll of parchnt, and then she explained through voice transmission:
"This is the scroll of Secret Technique I obtained."
"Secret Technique?" Ji Yuan glanced at the parchnt, then looked up at Ye Zhiqiu and said through voice transmission: "Tell in detail. I noticed that after you used it, your cultivation fell by a small realm."
"Yes."
"This is the price of using the Secret Technique. Like this ti, I used it, and the Mourning Thief couldn’t kill ; dropping a small realm was the price."
"Just this?"
Ji Yuan was a bit skeptical.
If it were truly just like this, the Secret Technique might be excessively abnormal.
Originally a certain death situation, diverting it just led to a fall by one small realm... It can’t possibly be this simple, even if it fell by a great realm, Ji Yuan would find it a bit more acceptable.
"No, there’s also damage to the Divine Soul, making it exceedingly difficult for future cultivation to break through to a greater realm."
ntioning this, Ye Zhiqiu’s complexion, which had slightly improved, turned a bit pale again.
For her, there might have once been a slim chance to glimpse the mysteries of the Core Formation Realm, but now... that small window had closed.
"Indeed, I knew it couldn’t be that simple."
Ji Yuan sighed, but in truth... damage to the Divine Soul?
To others, it might be an unsolvable problem, but for Ji Yuan, with the ditation Room and "The Nine Seals Soul Nurturing Sutra," the damaged Divine Soul could be restored.
One could even say that Ji Yuan’s Divine Soul is now much stronger than those of sa-tier cultivators.
For the damage Ye Zhiqiu suffered this ti, if it were on Ji Yuan... it probably wouldn’t count for much, at most removing the part that exceeded ordinary people’s level, which could be nurtured back later.
In essence, for others, it is a Secret Technique with great side effects, but for Ji Yuan, it effectively has no side effects.
"Will you still learn it, sir? After I learned this Secret Technique, it can only be passed twice more. If you inherit it once, there will only be one last ti remaining."
Unknowingly, Ye Zhiqiu’s way of addressing changed from Young Master Li to "sir."
"I will learn it. After all, it’s a good thing, and when wandering the world, having more skills is never a burden."
Ji Yuan didn’t express too much interest.
"You first inject Spiritual Qi, then your Divine Sense can probe inside to learn it."
Ye Zhiqiu handed over the parchnt with both hands.
Ji Yuan did as instructed, and soon, a stream of unfamiliar mory flowed from the parchnt into his mind... the Secret Technique "Soul Severing Art."
’The na is indeed fitting, sever the Divine Soul to seek survival.’
Ji Yuan paused for a mont before he completely digested this mory.
The Secret Technique was indeed considered a Divine Soul type Secret Technique, but it was not similar to "The Nine Seals Soul Nurturing Sutra," as one nurtures the soul and the other severs it.
Ji Yuan then tried to comprehend a bit, only to find he couldn’t understand anything.
Not to ntion mastering it, even to get started, I would estimate needing the help of the Enlightennt Room.
"Alright, you may keep it."
Ji Yuan returned the parchnt and, after a slight pause, said: "I took your Spirit Stone, and now I’ve learned such a Secret Technique, so the favor of saving you is considered settled, and you don’t have to rember it too heavily."
"No, sir..."
Before Ye Zhiqiu could finish, Ji Yuan interrupted, "Saving you was just a matter of convenience, the thing itself wasn’t that weighty, so it’s fine now."
