Chapter 486: Creating A Set Of Cultivation Methods

“It’s a storage ring. This person is about to strike it rich.”

“Jia Xinlin has lost.”

“Why does this kind of good thing never happen to me?”

“This, this…”

Tongues were wagging, but Chen Jin knew that there was other great stuff inside this storage ring.

“Senior Li, it’s not impossible to sell this ring to you, but what’s the price of this ring?” Chen Jin neither refused nor agreed.

Li Wei looked at Chen Jin. This youth had gained a significant treasure but he did not lose his mind over it. He could not help but nod his head, “This storage ring has five cubes in its interior, which includes three bottles of elixirs, 200 pieces of low-grade spirit stones, one medium grade magic item, and five low-grade magic items. It seems that these things have taken up all the space in the storage ring. You can have all the things inside, I just want to buy the ring. This is where the storage ring wins out over the storage sack, the ring can recognize its owner. Once it has recognized the owner, nobody else can open it, and it’s faster when putting items inside. This is very important in a fight. I’ll give you five medium-grade spirit stones. When you get something good the next time around, you can sell them to me again.”

Chen Jin had to give it to Li Wei, he did not keep the real worth of the ring to himself. He also gave a very fair price, in fact, the price that he quoted was even a little higher than the market price. This made Chen Jin somewhat suspicious but he thought better of it and understood what Li Wei was doing. It seemed that Li Wei was trying to be friendly, after all, there were not many who had his “eyesight.”

So Chen Jin said, “Since senior has spoken, I’ll sell it to you. But I dare not accept five medium-grade spirit stones, I’ll simply accept three medium-grade spirit stones from you.” What a joke, why would Chen Jin care about spirit stones? As for accepting fewer spirit stones from the other party, his purpose was to sell his “goodwill” and “friendship” to Li Wei. It would also prevent others from lusting after his riches.

Li Wei seemed to have seen through Chen Jin’s intentions and did not decline, “That’s good too. Guo Guanghui, fetch the spirit stones for this little disciple give him a VIP card to our pavilion. In the future, this little brother will be a friend of our pavilion.”

“Yes, Pavilion Master.”

There were some in the crowd who had planned to extort from Chen Jin, but they ditched their plans with this announcement from the Pavilion Master.

Li Wei took out a storage sack, he put the items from the storage ring into the sack and gave them to Chen Jin. Soon Guo Guanghui had fetched the spirit stones, Chen Jin took a brief look at them and swept them into the sack as well.

Ignoring Jia Xinlin, Fang Bin and Chen Jin went out of the market, leaving the old man to kneel alone in the market, not knowing if he should leave or stay.

On the way back.

“Brother Chen, we’ve made a windfall. With so many resources, they’ll be enough for us to cultivate to the peak level of Qi cultivation. Theoretically, a medium grade spirit stone can be exchanged for 100 pieces of low-grade spirit stones. But because the spiritual energy in medium-grade spirit stones is much purer, no one is willing to exchange,” Fang Bin said excitedly.

“Hmm, we’ll divide the things. You can have two medium-grade spirit stones, a medium grade magic item, and three of the low-grade magic items.” These things were completely dispensable to Chen Jin. He only kept some spirit stones so that he could have a plausible excuse for the improvements in his strength.

“Brother Chen, this, you have given me too much. Giving me a medium-grade spirit stone is good enough. After all, you won these,” Fang Bin quickly spoke.

“Just take them as I say or I won’t take you with me when I go to gamble with the stones next time,” Chen Jin’s put on a straight face acting like he was serious.

Although Fang Bin didn’t want to accept it, his gaze still burned when he looked at the treasures, so he accepted them without further refusal.

“Ok, we have the resources for cultivation. I’ll be going back to cultivate, you should return too,” Chen Jin looked at Fang Bin’s burning gaze and smiled reluctantly.

“Hmm, ok, thank you, Big Brother Chen.”

Chen Jin did not pay attention to Fang Bin, he turned and returned to his stone house, leaving Fang Bin with a view of his back that seemed to be confident yet at ease.

After the matter was done, he brushed himself off and went away quietly, not wanting to reveal his abilities or make a name for himself.

Back at the stone house, Chen Jin did not cultivate. Instead, he waited until Fang Bin left before making his way to the practice hall for external disciples.

Night had just fallen when he walked out of his residence, there were still many pedestrians on the road.

The bright moonlight cast a hazy glow on the ground as if a layer of silver had been scattered across. Many couples were indulging in the forbidden desires, they snuggled under trees and whispered their lovers’ talk. It was still and peaceful.

Chen Jin didn’t have time to look at these things. He sped up his steps and soon he arrived at a towering building.

The practice hall was divided into two major areas–cultivation methods and martial arts. The hall had a collection of various rare books and practice methods from the sect. It was one of the most important places of the sect.

“Old Song!”

He arrived at the entrance and bowed towards an old man sitting not too far from the door.

Old Song was one of the guardians of the library. No one knew how powerful he was. It was rumored that he was an upper rank who could even rank in the branches of the external disciples. But he had not taken any action for many years, so no one knew his exact strength. Before coming here, Chen Jin had already inquired about the news regarding the practice hall and so he knew of this Old Song.

“Hand over the contribution points and enter,” Old Song did not open his eyes. He did not bother about Chen Jin and minded his own business.

“Yes” Chen Jin patted his storage sack and the contribution points recording tool appeared in his hands. Then he raised his hand and 200 contribution points were transferred. Because Chen Jin had used his spirit stones to exchange for contribution points before coming here, he had no lack of points. But with the value of the contribution points and low-grade spirit stones, in an instant, he was once again transformed into a poor man.

“Remember, you only have four hours,” Old Song’s voice carried to him.

“Yes!” Chen Jin did not say more and stepped into the room.

Indeed, the Practice Hall of the Xintan sect was not small in any way. It was comparable to the libraries on earth.

Chen Jin quickly walked to the cultivation practice methods’ area and saw that there were at least hundreds of thousands of books on cultivation methods on the bookshelves. Chen Jin scanned some of them casually.

Sure enough, the cultivation methods here were completely different from those used by the Protoss. It could even be said that the lower-level exercises were of a much higher caliber than those of the Protoss. It seemed that there were indeed many problems in the Protoss’ Heavenly Realm.

Chen Jin didn’t think too much and communicated with the chip in his brain to activate the scanning function. He quickly flipped through the book. All the contents of the book had been recorded in his brain. He had read a book in just a few seconds. The speed was so fast that it raised one’s hackles.

Crash!

The sounds of pages flipping rang out in the room continuously.

“A weak nature, fickle, impatient, and boastful!”

Old Song wrinkled his brow when he heard the noises of pages being flipped at lightning speed.

Old Song criticized Chen Jin from outside the hall. But Chen Jin did not hear it, so he continued to scan the books. Soon all the contents of the cultivation exercises were put into his brain.

Thus, Chen Jin went out of the Practice Hall.

“You’re done?”

“Yes,” Chen Jin found it a bit strange, this old man was never one for so many words?

“Forget it, go, you’ll be paying 500 contributions points next time you come,” Old Song did not look at Chen Jin.

“Didn’t you say that it’s 200 contribution points for four hours? Why do I have to pay 500 points the second time round?” Chen Jin asked, feeling puzzled.

“Heh heh, you call that learning? I, Song Jiawei, has never seen anyone who reads like you,” Old Song sneered.

“Since there’s nothing else, I’ll bid farewell now.” Chen Jin shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he couldn’t use this sort of scanning method again, or else someone would find something fishy about it sooner or later.

After returning to his stone house, Chen Jin entered the palm-sized transmission device and uploaded all the practice methods he recorded to nuwa.

“Nuwa, create a set of cultivation methods that would be the most suitable for me according to these exercises.”

This was Chen Jin’s true purpose. Only by cultivating using a set of methods that were created by amalgamating hundreds of thousands of methods could he better develop the natural aptitudes of his body.
