Chapter 15: Incomplete copy

Wang Nannan really liked White Pomelo spirit plants. Whether it was the fragrance of the flowers, the fullness of the fruits, or even the shape of the spirit plants, everything perfectly matched his aesthetic preferences. Moreover, White Pomelos could also dispel inner demons.

Despite his fondness, there were also many worries. White Pomelos consumed a lot of fertilizer, requiring Wang Nannan to constantly spread spiritual fertilizer at the base of the White Pomelos and turn the soil for them. For this reason, the clan prepared a lot of spare spiritual fertilizer.

Wang Nannan used the "Golden Geng Swordplay", along with Four-Joy's talent, to turn the soil, while also leaving holes to place the spiritual fertilizer.

The spiritual fertilizer had been prepared long ago, and it was more valuable than any spiritual fertilizer Wang Nannan had seen before. According to Third Granny Wang Dingru, these were all made from the excrement of second-order spirit beasts.

Wang Nannan fertilized each White Pomelo, stretched his back, but was called over by Wang Dingru.

"You brat, besides the "Fallen Tree Spring Scripture" and the spells that a spirit plant cultivator must know, have you learned anything else?"

Wang Nannan shook his head. Living in the clan was very safe, so he wasn't in a hurry to practice attack spells. Moreover, his golden finger was currently increasing the proficiency of the "Fallen Tree Spring Scripture", so Wang Nannan didn't have time to be distracted.

Seeing Wang Nannan's naive expression, Wang Dingru and Wang Dingxi smiled, saying, "This kid is lucky to be born in the family. If he were a rogue cultivator, he wouldn't survive a day."

Wang Nannan cooperated, "Isn't our family harmonious and safe! If I were a rogue cultivator, I would definitely cultivate life-saving skills. I probably wouldn't even look at this "Fallen Tree Spring Scripture"."

Wang Nannan wasn't lying. Everything he did was based on his own situation. In chaotic times, one practices martial arts; in peaceful times, one studies literature. He was in a family, with the family as his backer, so he didn't have to worry about many things. Otherwise, how could he have reached the sixth level of Qi Refining without any ability to fight back?

"I know what you're thinking." Wang Dingxi waved his hand, "Your idea might work in mortal towns, but it won't work in the world of cultivators."

"The family can't protect you at all times. Even if you are a spirit plant cultivator, you will encounter disputes in the future, so it's beneficial to learn some spells early."

"However, considering your five spiritual roots, it will be difficult to master any spells in a short time, even if you have them. So, we two elders will give you some gifts."

Wang Nannan was puzzled. What was the deal with giving gifts for no reason!

Before he could think carefully, dozens of talismans appeared in front of Wang Nannan.

Looking at all the first-grade, high-quality attack talismans, Wang Nannan nervously swallowed.

So many talismans were worth dozens of spirit stones.

"Third Granny, Sixth Grandpa, what is this?" Wang Nannan wanted to ask clearly.

"Don't think too much, it's just that we've enjoyed spending time with you these past few days!" Wang Dingru reassured Wang Nannan, saying, "We both have children. Those without spiritual roots are living and thriving in mortal towns, and are now getting old; those with spiritual roots have been carrying out tasks for the family, and some have unfortunately died."

"Even those who are still around are too busy to accompany us. Having you, this little fellow, around has made us feel much younger."

Wang Dingru sat back in her rocking chair and continued, "Put the talismans away! It's better to be prepared."

Wang Nannan was thoughtful. The two elders probably missed their children, but he was powerless to help. The path of cultivation was rugged, and it was impossible to always be with family. It seemed that he could only pay more attention to the emotions of the two elders.

He put away the talismans and stored them in his storage bag. With these trump cards, he could feel much more at ease if he had the opportunity to go out in the future.

...

After considering it for a night, Wang Nannan felt that Sixth Grandpa Wang Dingxi's statement was correct. This was a world of cultivation, and he had to master some means of attack. Simply relying on the family was probably not a long-term plan.

Even if he thought of the worst-case scenario, if the family angered a powerful figure and was destroyed one day, Wang Nannan wouldn't survive a few days in the world of cultivation.

Having thought this through, Wang Nannan told the two elders and rode Four-Joy to the Scripture Pavilion.

Because the Green Ripple Grass had been harvested, the clan gave Wang Nannan two hundred contribution points, which was about equivalent to twenty spirit stones. He didn't know if it was enough to exchange for a cultivation technique.

After first paying respects to Great Grandpa Wang Minghui, Wang Nannan began searching on the bookshelves.

At a glance, there were many spells, but almost all of them were above one thousand contribution points, which was a bit expensive. Wang Nannan was short on money, so he could only glance at a few and give up.

"How great would it be if my golden finger could learn something with just one look! I wonder how many contribution points that would save." Wang Nannan daydreamed, but he didn't stop searching. Unfortunately, he was completely disappointed.

He was about to leave dejectedly when he was stopped by Wang Minghui at the door.

"Short on contribution points?" Wang Minghui saw the other party's embarrassment.

Wang Nannan remained silent, pondering how to earn contribution points.

Wang Minghui wasn't annoyed, but instead threw a cultivation technique in front of Wang Nannan, saying, "This is an incomplete copy. I'll sell it to you cheap!"

The words "One Qi, Three Clarities" were very conspicuous, but the cover of the book was too damaged.

Wang Nannan picked it up and flipped through the cultivation technique, casually glanced at a few pages, and his mouth twitched.

This great grandpa, who was several generations older than him, was actually planning to trick him.

If the "Fallen Tree Spring Scripture" only had the first level, and the subsequent cultivation techniques were missing, it could be called an incomplete copy.

Then the "One Qi, Three Clarities" didn't even have the remaining first level, and it was fragmented. The internal records were intermittent and completely impossible to cultivate…

Wait! Wang Nannan's mind paused for a moment. He had just considered the situation where "One Qi, Three Clarities" couldn't be cultivated, but when he turned to look at his information panel: "One Qi, Three Clarities" (Entry Level 0%).

"Damn, what's going on!"

"The records of the cultivation technique aren't even complete! How did I suddenly reach entry level? And I just glanced at it! Unscientific… Bah! What science is there to talk about in the world of cultivation…" Wang Nannan was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on at all. However, the fact had already happened and wasn't an illusion, so he could only attribute it to the golden finger.

Looking at Wang Minghui again, Wang Nannan asked, "Great Grandpa, can you lower the price a bit? Grandson is poor and can't afford it if it's too expensive."

"Two hundred contribution points, and I'll give you three books of mortal martial arts." Wang Minghui held up two fingers and continued, "Don't underestimate mortal martial arts. Using spiritual energy to activate them is enough to fight against early-stage Qi Refining cultivators!"

Wang Nannan was speechless. Did you know my net worth? You're accurately gauging it.

However, he couldn't not buy the cultivation technique, otherwise, if the other party found out that he knew "One Qi, Three Clarities" in the future, it would be impossible to explain.

Gritting his teeth, Wang Nannan once again returned to his penniless state, with not a single coin left in his pocket.

He left with "One Qi, Three Clarities" and three mortal martial arts techniques.

Wang Minghui smiled slightly, took out another copy of "One Qi, Three Clarities" from his storage bag, covered his face, and planned to take a nap.

Riding Four-Joy back to the valley, Wang Nannan's mind was full of "One Qi, Three Clarities".

This was a very magical cultivation technique that could use the spiritual power of heaven and earth to construct a body, and then tear half of one's own divine soul and inject it into it to create two clones.

After the clones were successfully created, they were exactly the same as the main body. Although they were controlled by the main body, their memories, realms, and cultivation techniques were not connected. Everything of the clones had to start from scratch, and the limit of their growth was always one major realm lower than the main body.

In addition, "One Qi, Three Clarities" also had an effect on cultivation techniques; it could allow cultivation techniques to stack quantitatively. For example, Wang Nannan could only emit one sword qi when using the "Golden Geng Swordplay", but after practicing "One Qi, Three Clarities", he could transform one sword qi into multiple sword qi based on his own strength, and the power of each sword qi would not be reduced.

Unfortunately, the "One Qi, Three Clarities" that Wang Nannan currently mastered was only an incomplete copy, so he couldn't create clones, and it only had an effect on cultivation techniques. But this was enough for Wang Nannan.

As for the three mortal martial arts techniques that were given to him, Wang Nannan planned to take some time to have his parents send them to his older brother and older sister. They should choose to practice them.
