No matter how she put it, being able to encounter a Primordial Soul Realm cultivator was the same as having a huge customer in her shop. The most important matter was to let the other party purchase something from her shop, and translate it into her physical performance.

“Oh, you still have some precious treasures hidden away. Then, let’s have a look.” Mo Wen nodded his head. He was free and had nothing urgent to do after all.

Very quickly, Yu Lan brought out a few boxes made from jade from a secret chamber and placed them before Mo Wen.

“Sir, the items within these boxes are the most valuable in our little shop. If they don’t catch your eye, then I, Yu Lan, can only watch as a huge customer such as yourself slips away in front of my eyes,” Yu Lan said, half-jokingly. As she said this, she opened the first jade box. There were five crystal beads inside.

“Inheritance Pearls?” Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. He only had some understanding of these Inheritance Pearls and knew they were rather valuable.

As the name suggested, Inheritance Pearls were used for inheritance. They could record things to be inherited by others, such as remarkable secret techniques, deception techniques, manufacturing methods, alchemy techniques, and so on. These could all be inherited through this method.

The specialty of the Inheritance Pearl was that it could more deeply and holistically record this inheritance. For example, some deep stratagems were too advanced, and it was difficult to explain everything in one go. One could not learn it even by being taught hands-on. If it were inherited in writing, it would be even more like a divine scripture that no one could understand at all.

As for the Inheritance Pearl, it could record the cultivating process, mechanisms, sensations, and even the tiniest of energy waves of a remarkable power clearly in it. With the help of the Inheritance Pearl, the practitioners could do more with less when mastering secret techniques.

“Can I have a look at these?”

The five Inheritance Pearls before Mo Wen piqued his interest. Ordinary martial art teachings secret techniques were not qualified to be recorded in Inheritance Pearls at all. Things that would be recorded in Inheritance Pearls were remarkable techniques at least at the level of the Primordial Soul Realm.

Although when compared with Primordial Soul Pearls, Inheritance Pearls were far inferior and were not as perfect as Primordial Soul Pearls, it was not easy to create such Inheritance Pearls. Only by being somewhat familiar with the remarkable power or secret techniques and having trained in them to the point of mastery could one record what they had learned into the Inheritance Pearl.

An ordinary Primordial Soul Realm cultivator could create a Primordial Soul Pearl, but that was at the cost of their life. However, an ordinary Primordial Soul Realm cultivator absolutely could not create an Inheritance Pearl of the same grade as a Primordial Soul Pearl. Usually, the only Inheritance Pearls that were suitable for Primordial Soul Realm cultivators were those created by those of high attainment in the Primordial Soul Realm and had profound achievements in their remarkable powers or secret techniques. There were even some that could only be created by Tide Changing Realm cultivators.

Hence, for cultivators, Inheritance Pearls were rather precious items. Mo Wen had not imagined that this Imperial Treasury had five of them.

“You may feel free to have a look. Each Inheritance Pearl is equipped with a limiter. Only by obtaining the secret key can one access all of the contents inside,” Yu Lan said with a smile.

Each Inheritance Pearl could only be used once. After being used, it was utterly useless. That was why Inheritance Pearls were precious. Because the Inheritance Pearl would self destruct if any force was applied on it, she was not worried that Mo Wen would forcefully obtain the contents inside them. Only she held the secret keys. Without them, no one could access the Inheritance Pearl’s wisdom.

“Three rites of passage-level low-grade remarkable powers, one alchemy technique, and one Thirty-two Stratagems Manuscript.”

Mo Wen released his deified soul and scanned the Inheritance Pearls to know the rough contents inside of them. Three rites of passage-level low-grade remarkable powers were just the most common of the remarkable powers. They were on the same level as his Cold Ice Domain and Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm. To him, they were of no interest.

The rite of passage-level secret techniques was a transition phase for the Heavenly Path remarkable powers. They were suitable for the Primordial Soul Realm cultivators to cultivate them. For the Primordial Soul Realm, which was just the first step to pursuing the Heavenly Path, the secret techniques mastered at this level could not be considered the beginning of the Heavenly Path.

The Heavenly Path remarkable powers were above the rite of passage-level secret techniques. More precisely, the Heavenly Path remarkable powers were truly remarkable powers.

As for the Heavenly Path remarkable powers, they were categorized into three levels: the small path, middle path, and big path.

Mo Wen’s Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift was a small path remarkable power and were also not outstanding among small path remarkable powers. It was because they were further divided into seven ranks. The difference between each rank was rather significant.

“Sir, are you satisfied with any one of them?” Yu Lan asked with a smile. These five Inheritance Pearls could be considered the absolute treasures of her shop. Even ordinary Primordial Soul Realm cultivators would not necessarily be able to afford them.

Knowledge was no burden. No one would complain about mastering too many remarkable powers. Remarkable power type Inheritance Pearls were the hottest commodities and were well sought out by Primordial Soul Realm Mighty Immortal Cultivators. As for weapon manufacturing, pill concoction, and stratagem types, these were slightly cheaper, but they were also hot products.

As the owner of the Imperial Treasury, she was not afraid of these treasures failing to catch Mo Wen’s eyes; she was only worried that he could not afford them. Her shop was the pride of the Imperial Treasury, even if she only managed a very, very small branch.

“I am rather interested in this Thirty-two Stratagems Manuscript. What’s the price?” Mo Wen asked.

He wasn’t interested in the other three remarkable powers. As for alchemy techniques, he had received Ji Wuya’s inheritance. So it was impossible for him to be interested in other alchemy techniques. However, all this while, Mo Wen only had a superficial knowledge of the deceptions. He had a rough understanding of plots based on Ji Wuya’s inheritance. However, Ji Wuya himself was not proficient in stratagems. Ji Wuya could construct some simple scenarios, but his limitation would show when he encountered some slightly more profound schemes.

This Thirty-two Stratagems Manuscript did not record any highly profound stratagems. However, its beauty lay in its practicality. The first chapter started with the basics, then the contents slowly advanced with each chapter. This manuscript was perfect for cultivators like Mo Wen, who only had a superficial knowledge of the deceptions.

Mo Wen knew that he must understand the stratagems to survive in the Immortal Cultivation World. He did not necessarily need to become a master at schemes. That was the crystallization of talent and effort. Mo Wen did not believe that he could reach that level. However, he needed at least to have a common standard of understanding the stratagems. That way, when he fell into other people’s plots in the future, he would not lose his bearings.

“The Thirty-two Stratagems Manuscript was written by a renowned senior. The secret stratagem techniques within it are not very advanced, but it contains the essence of stratagems. It is the most fundamental and practical item. Sir, if you are interested in it, I can give you a fair price of 150,000 spiritual stones.”

Yu Lan was somewhat surprised. This youth was not interested in the three rites of passage-level low-grade remarkable powers but was instead interested in stratagems. However, the Thirty-two Stratagems Manuscript secret techniques were indeed extraordinary. They came from the hands of an expert. It was just that the Inheritance Pearl created by this expert contained rather fundamental and straightforward things that he had learned in his lifetime. He did not pass down any advanced stratagems. Otherwise, this item would not end up in her hands.

One hundred and fifty thousand spiritual stones! In the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, it was enough to purchase an ordinary medium-grade profound level weapon. However, the Thirty-two Stratagems Manuscript was an Inheritance Pearl record, so this price was reasonable. Usually, as long as it was an Inheritance Pearl, it would not be cheap.

This was also why people usually only bought manuscripts and jade inscriptions to learn from. However, one often could not learn the essence from these forms of learning, and therefore it was hard to achieve anything from them.

Right now, Mo Wen had many spiritual stones. In Dragon City, he had earned more than 3,000,000 spiritual stones. He had a small fortune in his hands.

“Sir, I have a few more treasures here. Please have another look.”

Mo Wen decisively paid the amount. He did not even blink at the hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones. Yu Lan immediately smiled even more radiantly. As expected, Mo Wen was loaded. Right now, she longed for the crimson crystal card that Mo Wen had. That was a symbol of the nouveau rich.

Among the cards that the Huatian Palace distributed, there was the blue crystal card and the crimson crystal card. There was also the purple crystal card above them and the highest level gold crystal card.

Those with less than a million spiritual stones were given the blue crystal card. The crimson crystal card was used by those with more than a million spiritual stones. As for the more premium purple crystal card, only those with more than 50,000,000 spiritual stones could use them.

Usually, ordinary Primordial Soul Realm cultivators owned blue crystal cards. Few could hold the crimson crystal card.

Unfortunately, Mo Wen’s interest wasn’t sparked by any of the contents in the remaining jade boxes.

...

After Mo Wen left the Imperial Treasury, he was about to return to his inn when the entire sky suddenly darkened, and a terrifying deified soul swept across the area like a plow. The deified soul loomed over the whole of Li’an City.

“Hmm?” Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. He noticed that the thick and rich deified soul was locked on him. Clearly, someone was targeting him.

“You are Mo Wen, right?”

Three silhouettes appeared before Mo Wen. They traveled through the air. A moment ago, they were still far away; the next moment, they had already appeared in front of Mo Wen.

The three people consisted of a middle-aged man and two elders. All three of them emanated terrifying pressure, and they were Primordial Soul Realm cultivators.

The aura emanated by the middle-aged man who led the team was especially mysterious. Most likely, the terrifying deified soul belonged to this middle-aged man as well.

After Mo Wen had cultivated his Primordial Soul, his deified soul was much stronger than that of ordinary beginning-stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivators. It was because he had practiced the Divine Soul Trillion Layers. Not only was the Divine Soul Trillion Layers a great remarkable power from the Ancient Age, but it also helped to cultivate one’s soul specifically. action

It is said that when one practiced the Divine Soul Trillion Layers until the highest realm, the person’s Primordial Soul would be as powerful as or even stronger than their body. When one reached that state, they could desert their mortal flesh and continue living in the state of the Primordial Soul. Besides, the person would be hard to kill off. They were close to being immortal and indestructible.

During the Ancient Age, someone had utilized the Divine Soul Trillion Layers to cultivate their Primordial Soul until an unimaginable state. With the power of the Primordial Soul alone, the person could defeat ordinary Virtue and Justice Realm cultivators. Even the Heavenly Path’s ultimate influential practitioners found it hard to kill this person. This person was very famous back then.

However, right now, Mo Wen’s cultivation was still shallow. The Divine Soul Trillion Layers had six realms in total. He hadn’t even mastered the first realm.

“Who are you?” Mo Wen stared at the three people indifferently. They seemed hostile.

“I am Xue Chu, the Blood Evil Temple Temple Leader.” Xue Chu stood in midair, looking down on Mo Wen with an indifferent gaze. It was as though Mo Wen was but an insignificant ant in the eyes of Xue Chu. He didn’t even bother looking at Mo Wen properly.

“The Blood Evil Temple! Oh, I see.”

Mo Wen lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then, he recalled. Wasn’t the sect behind Lord Merciless the Blood Evil Temple? Mo Wen had not thought that he would meet them so quickly.

“Are you guys picking on me now? I do not have a vendetta with your Blood Evil Temple. You didn’t have to mobilize such a large army against me,” Mo Wen said plainly. His grudges with the Lord Merciless were personal. Mo Wen had not thought of using it as an excuse to attack the Blood Evil Temple. However, judging from the looks of it now, the Blood Evil Temple was targeting him. Even the temple leader had come to meet him personally.

“Naturally, you do not have any vendetta with our Blood Evil Temple. However, you are from the heretic path. Our Blood Evil Temple protects the Huatian Palace, and we are loyal. We are here to purge evil and defend righteousness,” one of the elders standing beside Xue Chu said with a cold smile. As for Xue Chu, he stood proudly while hugging his arms, not saying a word.

“Purging evil and defending righteousness? What a good excuse!” Mo Wen laughed. Mo Wen’s life motto had always been to not mess with others unless they messed with him. From the looks of it now, these people were messing with him.

Three Primordial Soul Realm mighty cultivators from the Blood Evil Temple came to Li’an City publicly without any disguise. Their arrival had alarmed everyone in the city. Zhang Huishan, who initially stayed put in the city to see if any changes occurred, flew out to meet them immediately. Li’an City was under the control of Xiping Country. Since the three Primordial Soul Realm mighty cultivators were here, naturally, Zhang Huishan had to welcome them personally.
