Just with the glance from the Yang God Divine Sense, a touch of amusement flashed in Zhang Jian's eyes.
The ancient Yin text restriction on this jade slip is real, but inside there's merely an ordinary Golden Core level technique written in ancient Yin script.
The ancient aura on the jade slip is likely from the time it was purchased as a blank ancient jade slip by the trader in front of me.
The contents inside are probably newly etched!
In the Cultivation Realm, there exist all kinds of people.
Zhang Jian picked up another jade slip beside him, its situation was almost identical to the previous one.
"Honored guest, how is it?"
The Golden Core cultivator's eyes gleamed with a smile.
"These jade slips all come from the Eastern Emperor Ruins, absolutely genuine and definitely not fake!"
Zhang Jian's expression was ambiguous, his eyes merely resting on the Golden Core cultivator, a hint of interest in his gaze.
"I didn't expect you cultivators to actually understand ancient Yin script. You must have some ancient Yin script classics with you; are you willing to sell them?"
Upon hearing this, the Golden Core cultivator immediately fell silent, and after a moment, he reined in his smile, cupping his hands.
"Senior, your insight is sharp, I beg your forgiveness!"
"However, my understanding of ancient Yin script is purely by chance, and I do not have any compiled classics in hand!"
He obviously did not wish to sell.
The classics in ancient Yin script he possessed were a legacy of his family, something he was unwilling to part with, thus breaking the family heritage.
Zhang Jian's gaze swept over this middle-aged cultivator, he chuckled faintly.
"If I did not see wrongly, there seems to be a flaw in your Golden Core. If I had something that could cleanse and complete your Golden Core, would you be willing to trade?"
"Something to cleanse the Golden Core?"
The middle-aged cultivator's eyes shone brightly, filled with fervent light.
The extent of flaws in a Golden Core often determines its grade, which also affects one's cultivation efficiency.
Dragon Maiden Lvzhu's eyes flickered with something unusual.
A heaven and earth divine object that can cleanse a Golden Core is usually extremely precious.
The middle-aged cultivator hesitated for a moment, then said:
"I beg your forgiveness, senior!"
Seeing his refusal, Zhang Jian did not insist.
He could guess that this ancient Yin script classic was likely a family heirloom for the other party.
Knowledge has always been the most precious.
After walking a few dozen feet, Dragon Maiden could not help but ask.
"Honored guest, do you need a classic written in ancient Yin script?"
Zhang Jian did not show any emotion, but momentarily halted his steps, prompting Lvzhu to say quickly, "I happen to know of a place that has classics compiled in ancient Yin script, and they allow exchanges!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian asked with a furrowed brow, "Where?"
"Canal Dragon Palace!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jian was left speechless. The Dragon Maiden was trying to bring business to her own family.
But her words made him realize suddenly; the Dragon Palace has always been famous for its treasures, with countless friends and relatives, possessing classic documents in ancient Yin script is only natural.
He had overlooked that.
He noted it down silently.
Zhang Jian soon stepped up to another stall several dozen feet away, and there, the stall owner was shrouded entirely in a hood, with their aura concealed thoroughly, as if it was a magical treasure concealing their spiritual mechanism, quite divine profound.
Yet it could not escape Zhang Jian's Yang God Divine Sense; he sensed that the stall owner was merely a junior cultivator who hadn't established their Divination Foundation.
Yet when his gaze swept across many of the items on the stall, a hint of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
He noticed over ten beams of spiritual light shining on the stall; these were jade slips, some radiating intense spiritual light, and among them, two stone slips emitted an obscure glow that ordinary cultivators couldn't perceive.
"Yin Spirit Level Secret Technique!"
Zhang Jian looked at the stall owner, involuntarily thinking of the term 'spendthrift'.
Yin Spirit Level techniques are not something an ordinary cultivator without Foundation Establishment can possess; either they stole them from home, or they stumbled upon some ruin, not knowing their worth.
Zhang Jian slowly spoke.
"May I take a look?!"
The stall owner's 'cold' voice replied, "You may use some magical power, but don't pick them up physically!"
Seeing her effort in appearing mature and dignified, the corner of Zhang Jian's lips curled under his mask.
He raised his hand, and an invisible strand of magical power pulled the gray jade slip on the left side up into the air. A thread of Yang God Divine Sense probed into it, easily bypassing the petrifying restriction surrounding the jade slip, penetrating its inner layers.
Inside, a cultivation technique purely written in ancient Yin script emerged in Zhang Jian's sea of consciousness.
"Great Five Elements Magnetic Extinction Divine Light!"
Zhang Jian read a part of the ancient Yin text, but the core secret technique behind it was encrypted by rune constraints on the jade slip. Attempting to read further could trigger anomalies, so Zhang Jian stopped.
A subtle look filled his eyes.
Great Five Elements Magnetic Extinction Divine Light, it was a well-known ancient divine technique.
Unfortunately, this version before him only passed on to the Yin Spirit level, but its value was immense.
By comprehending its mystic techniques, he might be able to complete it, possibly deriving the True Intent of the Five Elements and Primordial Magnetism from it.
He had already succeeded in understanding the True Intent of the Five Elements, but the Primordial Magnetism technique was rare.
Zhang Jian wasn't in a rush; he casually set down the gray jade slip, letting his gaze linger on another jade slip.
Similarly, he concentrated a trace of Yang God Divine Sense to probe it, moving momentarily with his eyes.
"Little All Heaven Fortune Golden Lotus Tribulation Reduction Technique!"
What astonished him was that it was an extraordinarily profound Qi Fortune technique.
It was the first time Zhang Jian had encountered such a Qi Fortune technique.
Even in the Tongshan Dao Lineage, similar techniques were core true inheritances, impossible to exchange unless a certain level was met and conditions achieved.
"Blessed Fortune is indeed a subset of Qi Fortune techniques, with Blessing, Prosperity, and Longevity often coexisting. Such technique is indeed rare!"
Zhang Jian truly found himself interested.
Blessed Fortune techniques possess the ability to avoid tribulations, especially during transcendence, able to reduce tribulation lightning, and minimize Heart Demon tribulations, incredibly profound.
After contemplating for a while, Zhang Jian asked, "How are these two jade slips priced?"
Upon hearing this, the 'stall owner' pondered for a moment, her eyes seemingly weighing, then she spoke solemnly.
"Thirty top-grade Spirit Crystals, plus one legitimate Divination Foundation Establishment Dao technique, and a complete magic inheritance!"
Seeing this, Zhang Jian replied, "Friend, you're really asking for a lot!"
He chuckled inwardly.
A Yin Spirit Level technique, its value far exceeds this amount.
The stall owner, noticing his response, slightly frowned, seemingly evaluating Zhang Jian before replying after a moment, "Ten top-grade Spirit Crystals, plus Divination Foundation Establishment Dao technique and a complete magic inheritance, no less!"
Seeing this, Zhang Jian nodded, "Though it's a bit high, it's still barely acceptable!"
With a casual grasp, a small jade box appeared in his hand, alongside two jade talismans, which he extended to the 'stall owner'.
The Divination Foundation Establishment Dao technique was the Foundation Establishment Chapter of the "Taiyin Refining Form Technique".
And the magic inheritance was the "Cyan Lotus Soul Purification Spell"...
The 'stall owner' accepted them, carefully examining them, and her eyes revealed a trace of joy, soon forcibly 'restraining' herself, nodding, "Deal!"
Seeing this, Zhang Jian casually took the two jade slips.
