Just as Lin Yi was about to take the ten Spirit Stones, the monk shopkeeper smiled and pulled out a jade slip. “Friend, would you like the Spirit Wood Technique? It’s the best to check cultivation levels and distinguish between the strong and the weak. It’s a must-have for every cultivator, only ten Spirit Stones per copy.”

The Spirit Wood Technique is a spell that many cultivators possess. With a flash of spiritual light in the eyes, one can examine the opponent’s cultivation level. Of course, if the opponent’s cultivation level is higher than one’s own, it can’t be seen. However, if the spell level is high, it can break this limit.

However, no one will spend time on a small Spirit Wood Technique. It is generally sufficient just to detect the strength of cultivation.

Lin Yi looked at the ten Spirit Stones, which he hadn’t yet received, with a near to tears expression. This shop was poisonous, wasn’t it? Did they have to squeeze him for every last Spirit Stone? He hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, “Yes, I’ll take one.”

Without the Spirit Wood Technique, he could only vaguely sense the other party’s cultivation level, unable to know precisely. Therefore, for safety’s sake, it was still better to cultivate it.

“Thank you for your patronage, friend. Please study these three spells.” The monk shopkeeper revealed a bright smile on his face, taking back the ten Spirit Stones he had just given out on the counter.

Lin Yi first placed the jade slip of the Mysterious Light Armor spell on his forehead, then activated his spiritual power, stimulating the jade slip. A light flashed up from the jade slip, and then he felt knowledge about the spell in his mind.

When he took down the jade slip, a popup appeared in front of him,

“Experience +1 for [Mysterious Light Armor].”

Learning directly from the jade slip into his mind was very simple and convenient, allowing cultivators to master the spells faster. However, it also left a restriction in the mind, preventing anyone from passing the spell on for resale after learning it.

Afterward, Lin Yi picked up the Wind Law and Spirit Wood Technique jade slips and placed them on his forehead. He received the relevant knowledge, which was also displayed on the title panel.

After Lin Yi finished studying, the shopkeeper monk collected the three jade slips and smiled, asking, “Friend, is there anything else you need?”

“Can I take a look at the Body Refining Techniques and Attack Spells first?” Lin Yi couldn’t help asking. He wanted to check the prices first, then make plans later.

ten minutes later, he walked out of the Wan Bao Tower, a bitter smile on his face. The cultivators’ Body Refining Techniques were really expensive, costing one to two hundred Spirit Stones casually. In comparison, spells were still cheaper.

However, the physical upgrade brought about by the cultivators’ Body Refining Techniques was more potent than the Martial Arts Vajra Jue he purchased. Of course, the resources required would also be more substantial.

Lin Yi looked up at the sky, arrived at a teahouse, and sat by the second-floor window drinking tea for about an hour. He went downstairs, gave a letter to the teahouse owner, and then turned to leave.

He hoped that Xu Zhi Wu would be safe on his journey. He had initially wanted to buy a few communication talismans for contact, but as a martial artist without spiritual power, he couldn’t even activate the effect of the talisman, so naturally, he couldn’t use it.

After finishing his business, he didn’t stay long in Qing Yun City and headed towards the city gate. Just before reaching the alley, he stopped and moved into a corner, starting his observations.

After a while, he saw the familiar Renal Deficiency Monk appear again, stopping a cultivator’s path, and showing that flirty expression on his face.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile. It seemed it wasn’t targeted at him. He was just an ordinary peddler. He pulled his head back, covered his face with his collar, and passed from the other side of the alley.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the side, “Junior brother, have you finished your business? It’s time to enjoy Fairy Song’s stunning portrait. I guarantee it will make you infatuated and won’t be a wasted trip.”

Lin Yi lowered his clothes and looked. The Renal Deficiency Monk had come to his side. He couldn’t help but admire the dedication of the peddler and decisively chose to refuse.

“Thank you, senior brother, but I am not an admirer of Fairy Song. I have things to do in the Outer Sect, I should go now.” Lin Yi decisively rejected the proposal.

“Junior brother, you can try it. Ten Spirit Beads… no, five Spirit Beads for a cup of tea’s time.” Seeing Lin Yi about to leave, the middle-aged monk hurriedly spoke.

Lin Yi still shook his head. He remembered that Xiao He’s price was only ten

Spirit Beads for a night. And he always felt strange about Fairy Song. The Inn of Immortal Joy was established by the Hehuan Sect, all the female cultivators inside were charming and attractive.

Yet Fairy Song was so ethereal and detached, out of place with the other women. Whenever something deviates from the norm, there must be a demon at work.

“Junior brother, stay. For a cup of tea’s duration, you can have a free trial. If you are satisfied, you can stay. If you are not, you are free to leave at any time,” the middle-aged monk ground his teeth and said.

Hearing this, Lin Yi had a slight movement in his heart. Fairy Song indeed had tremendous appeal. At first, just a single look almost filled the effect of [Color is Void]. The chance of enlightenment was 30%, and it went directly to 25%.

If viewing her portrait had a similar effect, he could come and watch her portrait in the future whenever he wanted enlightenment. It only cost two

Spirit Stones and lasted six hours. It seemed a lot more cost-effective than the Inn of Immortal Joy.

After thinking about it, he decided to go and see with the monk first. If there was any anomaly, he would run away without hesitation.

In this way, Lin Yi and another monk followed the Renal Deficiency Monk. On the way, he interacted with that monk and found out that he was also an Outer Sect Spirit Farmer. They each verified their identities with their tokens.

He also noticed that the monk seemed to heave a sigh of relief after seeing his token – probably because he was also worried.

Looking at the Renal Deficiency Monk ahead, Lin Yi used the newly acquired Spirit Wood Technique and found that this man was at the Qi Refining Three Layers. He probably indulged in pleasures and didn’t cultivate.

After a while, they arrived at a restaurant in the bustling area of Qing Yun City. It seemed that what the Renal Deficiency Monk said was all true.

They made their way to the top floor, where two monks were guarding it. Seeing them, the ice-cold faces instantly filled with warm smiles, cupped their fists, and said, “Welcome, friends.’

Lin Yi immediately became alert. Their service attitude was a bit too good. He held a talisman in his hand and stood near the window, ready to jump out and escape at any moment.

At that moment, the Renal Deficiency Monk opened the door to the third-floor private room. He peeked in and saw some tables and benches. There seemed to be five or six people, and Fairy Song’s portrait was playing at the front, very clearly.

“Two junior brothers, please come in.” The Renal Deficiency Monk said with a smile.

The Liu Yun Sect Outer Sect Disciple couldn’t wait to run inside after seeing Fairy Song’s portrait.

Lin Yi poked his head in, then quickly drew back, cautiously asking, “Senior brother, I need to confirm whether there’s a free viewing for a duration of a cup of tea.’

“Yes, I confirm. I will be waiting inside, and if you want to leave, I will personally take you out,” the Renal Deficiency Monk nodded without hesitation..
