Chapter 241: Things from the Main Quest Reward
Although Song Jiulai didn’t quite believe in destiny.
But somehow, every requirement for the Nine Transformations Dragon Bone seemed to match her perfectly.
Sea of Consciousness?
Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators don’t have a Sea of Consciousness, but she did.
It was forcibly opened with the help of the Liu Yao Secret Realm.
Cannot cultivate other cultivation methods…
But the System explicitly said it was possible.
Song Jiulai’s heart began to pound.
Seeing Song Jiulai’s slightly tempted expression, Nan Qi said, “The Nine Transformations Dragon Bone is indeed very powerful. Even if you can’t cultivate other cultivation methods after cultivating it, it’s not a loss. However, for cultivators who can reach the Core Formation Stage and beyond, it offers no benefit.”
This is because the cultivation method completely lacks the later stages.
Once one reaches the Core Formation Stage, it signifies that the cultivation method will never advance further in this lifetime.
And cultivation methods advance with the cultivator’s realm, also influencing the cultivator’s realm. Practicing it essentially means being destined to have no connection with realms beyond Core Formation.
In other words, cultivators with better talent are less likely to practice this cultivation method.
As for those with poor talent, unless they are lucky enough to be born into a Major Sect, this Nine Transformations Dragon Bone is not something ordinary people can afford.
For most people, it’s a cultivation method that exists like a chicken rib.
However, Nan Qi only sells goods. She wouldn’t usually recommend it, but Song Jiulai’s request was quite peculiar, so she recommended it.
Nan Qi continued to introduce, “The Nine Transformations Dragon Bone can temper your flesh, bones, and blood. Dragons were once revered as one of the most powerful Sacred Beasts in this world. Their physical bodies were exceptionally strong, with legends even saying they could tear space with their physical strength alone. Of course, that’s something dragons can do.”
“After cultivating this Dragon Bone Transformation, a Dragon Phantom will appear within your body. The better you cultivate, the clearer the Dragon Phantom will be. There are even sayings that if cultivated to the extreme, one can gain the recognition of the dragon race and transform into a dragon.”
“Of course, these are all legends. At the Core Formation Stage, it’s impossible.”
Nan Qi shrugged; “Are you interested?”
The unspoken implication was that if one had aspirations, this cultivation method was naturally unsuitable for Song Jiulai.
Song Jiulai pinched her chin and pondered, “This cultivation method is so powerful, surely very few people practice it?”
Nan Qi said, “Yes, not many copies of this cultivation method have circulated. We’ve only sold a few in recent years.”
Even if there are suckers who buy it, whether they actually practice it is another matter.
It can only reach the Core Formation Stage. Even among those with the worst talent, there have been cultivators who could reach the Core Formation Stage.
What good is having Spirit Stones if you buy a cultivation method like this and cut off your own future?
Song Jiulai clasped her hands behind her back, “What’s the price? Is it a scroll or a book?”
Scrolls can be copied for Players.
Books cannot.
Unexpectedly, Nan Qi said, “One scroll of the Nine Transformations Dragon Bone is one hundred High-grade Spirit Stones. If you only buy one book, it’s five High-grade Spirit Stones.”
Song Jiulai was stunned.
“Do you know what you’re saying?”
Why not just rob someone!
Nan Qi said helplessly, “I know you’re shocked, but the Nine Transformations Dragon Bone is priced like this. No matter how demanding it is, it’s a rare top-tier cultivation method. Its strength after cultivation is very high, it just has some missing limbs…”
Although the missing parts are fatal.
But if it were a complete cultivation method, how could it be leaked for ordinary people to buy?
Moreover, its origin is unreliable, and True Treasure Pavilion is not the only place that has the Nine Transformations Dragon Bone.
It can be found elsewhere.
Nan Qi added, “If you weren’t introduced by Elder Zhai, I wouldn’t sell these cultivation methods to you.”
She was honest, but perhaps too honest.
Song Jiulai thought for a few minutes, then said with a pained expression, “Boss, two High-grade and fifty Mid-grade, let’s be friends.”
Nan Qi:?
This familiar bargaining pattern made her momentarily recall when she sold a Disposable Magic Treasure to that sucker.
Nan Qi said, “Are you here to cause trouble?”
Song Jiulai: “…”
She shamelessly asked, “Can’t you give me a discount?”
Nan Qi was a bit curious, “With this money, you could buy a better cultivation method that suits you more. You don’t necessarily need this one. If you reach the Core Formation Stage, you won’t be able to break through any further in your life.”
“I know,” Song Jiulai sighed, “What aspirations can I have in this life?”
Indeed.
At her age, she was still in the Qi Refining Stage. It would be quite difficult to enter the Core Formation Stage.
Let alone the subsequent realms.
Essentially, Nan Qi was just a salesperson. For Song Jiulai at her level to easily produce so many High-grade Spirit Stones…
She must have some connections.
Nan Qi wouldn’t care if the Spirit Stones were illicitly obtained or if the person had issues. True Treasure Pavilion dared to sell it, so they weren’t afraid of encountering such problems.
She said, “If you really want it, I won’t shortchange you on the price. I’ll also throw in a Qi Refining Stage cultivation method, 《 Step by Step Lotus Kill initial stage 》. If you can reach the Core Formation Stage, I’ll give you the intermediate stage for free. What do you think?”
Song Jiulai’s eyes flickered slightly.
Step by Step Lotus Kill was not an offensive cultivation method, but a Speed Cultivation Technique.
Its price was comparable to Palm Thunder.
The cultivator’s speed would be incredibly fast, and they could leave Lotus Marks at their original location.
It sounded somewhat fantastical, but as long as the Lotus Mark remained, the cultivator could instantly switch positions through the Lotus Mark at any time.
The higher the level, the longer the conversion distance.
Strictly speaking, it was comparable to Teleportation.
Thus, the lotus also contained killing intent, hence the name.
Generally, it was quite difficult to buy. Song Jiulai thought for a long time.
Nan Qi didn’t disturb her.
Until Song Jiulai steeled herself, “Alright! I’ll buy it!”
The main reason was her severe lack of a Body Tempering cultivation method; her physical strength was still not high enough.
Before, she would cry out in pain if she got even a bit of venom from fighting a Demonic Beast.
The speed cultivation method Nan Qi gave her also compensated for another of her shortcomings.
This was an unexpected bonus.
Because even if it wasn’t given, she would have had to find a way to buy a speed cultivation method later.
The existence of a cultivation method like the Nine Transformations Dragon Bone proved that someone must have practiced it. However, that was their business. It was fine if Song Jiulai couldn’t obtain the cultivation method for the later four transformations after reaching the Core Formation Stage, as she already possessed the Soul Cultivation, a growth-type cultivation method.
Speaking of which, the Soul Cultivation given by the System was likely the soul of a powerful Player. Upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, it would probably become a Primordial Spirit.
Because she had already discovered that Players’ cultivation speed was indeed faster than locals.
They also had an easier time breaking through their levels.
Of course, perhaps it was because their current levels were still too low?
The System suddenly mentioned, “A cultivation method like Dragon Bone Transformation, if Players can obtain it, would also be beneficial for a Puppet Body. When it comes to Tribulation Stage later, the puppet might not be able to withstand the lightning strikes.”
Song Jiulai: “The imagination is beautiful. Tribulation Stage cultivators face lightning strikes when reaching Nascent Soul. Does this cultivation method have the later three transformations?”
The System said with a hint of meaning, “Your main quest will reward you with something. How can you be sure it won’t be given to you then?”
Song Jiulai’s mind went blank.
