Lin Tian was taken aback by the woman's change in expression. He looked at the poison for a while not knowing what to say , Focusing on his purpose for coming here he took out a piece of purple jade from his space ring and delivered it to the woman.
The woman looked at the purple jade with some surprise and then said in a gentle voice, "It seems like Young Master is not an ordinary person."
He wasn't surprised when he heard that, as he had spent the past few weeks searching for information about the jade stone. He saw the same symbol in one of the books in Uncle Jiang's library and was delighted as it had detailed information on most of the shops in the city.
From what he read, the All Things Under the Heaven Store has seven floors. The first one is a place that anyone could enter, but from the second floor and upward, you need a stone jade that was designed by the store for its distinguished guests. The stone came in different grades from white to crimson, white being the lowest followed by yellow, blue, purple, gold, purple gold, and finally, crimson being the highest.
"I was gifted this jade stone from an old lady. Could you please examine it and tell me its value?" replied Lin Tian with a respectful tone.
The woman took the purple jade and examined it, her eyes widening in surprise. "Young Master, this jade stone has a value of 10,000 spirit stones!" she exclaimed.
Lin Tian nodded his head, not showing any surprise. He knew the jade stone was valuable, but he didn't know how valuable. "Thank you for your help. May I ask for your name?"
The woman smiled and replied, "My name is Lian'er. If you need any help, feel free to ask for me."
He didn't beat around the bush and told her directly, "I came here looking for a Body Refining Realm cultivation technique that is suitable for sword users."
She smiled, showing no surprise, as it's common for young people to come to All Things Under The Heaven store looking for cultivation techniques. None of the other shops could compare.
She replied, "We do have a few cultivation techniques that may suit your needs. If you would like, I can show you."
Lin Tian nodded eagerly and followed her deeper into the store. As they walked, Lian'er explained different cultivation techniques and their benefits. Finally, they arrived at a section of the store dedicated to sword users.
"Here we have a few options for Body Refining Realm cultivation techniques suited for sword users," Lian'er said, gesturing to a display of books.
There were a total of 8 books, each containing an introduction to each technique.
Lian'er pointed out the first book. "This is the cheapest one and is called Iron Skin Body Technique. By focusing the sword qi into their skin, the cultivator can harden it to the point of becoming like iron."
He thought about it for a while and shook his head, looking for the next one.
She smiled and began to introduce each technique name accordingly - Shadow Dance Body Techniques, Crystal Sword Body Technique, Wind Blade Body Technique, Crimson Blaze Body Technique, Dragon Scale Body Technique, Soul Blade Body Technique. Each one of them was a valuable and rare technique, and all sounded fascinating to him.
But when he thought about the Cyclone Sword Art, he looked at the Wind Blade Body Technique. This technique harnessed the power of the wind to refine the cultivator's body, enhancing their speed, agility, and precision.
The sword qi took on the form of razor-sharp blades that could open one meridian, and then the meridians directed the sword qi to each organ and muscle, refining the whole body. This technique required the cultivator to have a source for wind and sword qi.
Lian'er noticed him looking at the Wind Blade Body Technique and said, "It seems you prefer this technique. If that's the case, you are lucky. We have a unique item called the Elemental Wind Sword Stone. It emits wind type sword qi."
He thought for a while and asked her for the price. She smiled and looked at him, saying, "Since you have a purple jade, we will give you a 20% discount. With the Elemental Sword Stone, it all amounts to 7999 spirit stones."
Lin Tian's jaw almost dropped when he heard the price, but he had no other choice but to pay for it.
He left the store with a strange expression, not knowing if he should be happy or sad. It took him an hour to return to his house when he saw two people standing at his doorstep.
