Chapter 7 The First Law of the Cultivation World
There was a strangely formatted picture in his mind, which contained a huge amount of information, so much so that Tao Qian was stunned for a moment before he could digest it.
He loosened his fingers first to let the book return to its place, and then closed the blessing box.
There was a look on his face that showed no results and was very disappointing, and his mind began to process thoughts.
This time, more questions in his mind were answered.
First of all, he really has something similar to a cheat plug-in.
The specific manifestation is that within a certain range, there is a strong perception of extraordinary and strange things. After touching or completely controlling it, it can even sort out a special information flow in the relevant format in the mind to facilitate Tao Qian's understanding.
In addition, there is something strange deep in his soul, which seems to be able to offset the cost of certain cultivation techniques.
But more questions arise from this:
Does all practice in this world require a price?
And, can he be exempted from all?
When his thoughts flashed here, Tao Qian looked at the blessing box in his hand.
Although he is a non-chief himself, he did get a spiritual practice secret book, which he bought with a silver dollar.
It's just that this secret book called "The Fragments of a Hundred Birds' Play", judging from the information, is obviously not a serious cultivation method for immortality.
Hidden evil...the chaos of hundreds of birds...causing tens of thousands of people to be affected...ten houses and nine empty houses...these words sound very scary.
Tao Qian held the blessing box, worried but reluctant to let it go.
Not to mention the unknown residual technique that is only useful in beheading, the secret book in his arms is the only way he can practice now.
Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it.
"When I was killed, I recited the unknown remnant formula and gained the [immortality characteristic]. The price I should have paid was that my body rotted and my soul became hazy, turning into a strange thing called a 'soul corpse'."
"But I am exempt, so I have the immortality trait without any side effects."
"If cultivating [The Fragments of the Hundred Birds' Play] has the same effect, wouldn't I be able to use the ten powers of the Hundred Birds for nothing?"
Tao Qian's heart couldn't help but beat when he thought of the last thought.
Excitement flashed in his eyes.
However, Tao Qian was not a reckless person and quickly calmed down.
Tao Qian continued to stay in the blessing box cabin for a while. After making sure that there was no more throbbing feeling, Tao Qian turned around and left.
Next, Tao Qian was very excited and visited almost every cabin of the "Zhuangyuan". As long as it was a place where books were stored, he went there.
He was happy, but it was enough that he suffered a lot from the bookboys who accompanied him and was delayed a lot of time. But this guy just didn't want to buy, and he was really picky.
Later, when the number one scholar was on board, all the bookboys who received him knew that there was a poor scholar on the ship, running around the ship with a box of literary works, and that there was something wrong with him.
About half an hour later, Tao Qian walked to the deck with a regretful look on his face, followed by an expressionless book boy.
As a person in the service industry, with the management level of No. 1, the latter should always have a bright smile on his face that makes people feel at home and like a spring breeze.
He was indeed very professional at first, until he went shopping with Tao Qian a few times.
Tao Qian walked in front and began to look at the other book boats on the pier while saying:
"The title of Number One Scholar is well-deserved. I really have a vast collection of books. It's just a pity that I couldn't find a book that suits my taste today."
The bookboy behind him couldn't help but rolled his eyes after hearing this.
The corner of his mouth twitched and he said with a fake smile:
"It's understandable that our distinguished guests are very discerning. Please be sure to visit the Dexing, Shulin, Qingfeng, and Cedar ships. There may be books you like on these book ships."
After the words fell, the book boy ignored Tao Qian's reaction and turned around to greet other guests in the cabin.
Tao Qian was neither annoyed nor complained about being nudged, but just smiled nonchalantly.
He held the blessing box in his arms tightly with both hands and weighed his money bag.
There are only more than eight silver dollars left, so I have to spend it sparingly. If I really want to take action, I will be ranked first in spiritual practice secrets, second in pictorial girls, third in gaudy and forbidden books, and fourth in martial arts novels... Tao Qian took the number one pick,
Dengdengdengdeng went to other book boats while mentally calculating how to spend it.
Unfortunately, it took nearly half an hour for Tao Qian to browse the other book boats as quickly as possible.
Harvest?
none.
There is no spiritual practice secret book like [The Fragments of Hundred Birds Play].
Standing on the pier, Tao Qian had a sad look on his face.
Even Tao Qian lost interest in watching the beautiful scenery on the flower boat called "Huanxi" not far away.
Although these book boats have been coming every day recently, they only stop for an hour or two, and now the time is almost up.
Tao Qian's interest in hunting for treasures based on his extraordinary radar also dropped.
Acknowledging his luck as a non-chief, he turned and walked towards a book ship named "Cedar".
He has already made a comparison. Most of the books sold on the book boat on the pier are genuine books, but in terms of price, the Cedar Boat is the most affordable.
Unable to find the second spiritual practice secret book, Tao Qian decided to buy some albums of illustrated girls and several sets of gaudy banned books.
"These should be the best sellers. Let's make some money first and then restore our health."
Tao Qian muttered, planning to experience the spiritual food of men in this era.
But at this moment, he suddenly smelled the unique smell of moldy books.
Then immediately, the familiar "thrilling feeling" appeared again.
With a snap, Tao Qian turned around suddenly and looked towards the water.
But not far away, on the river, a modified fishing boat was approaching. Two boatmen were shaking the boat together. A tired-looking book scholar stood on the bow of the boat. There were a large number of books piled on the boat, tied with hemp ropes.
Tie it up to prevent it from falling into the river.
The ship connected to this ship was the Cedar.
The scholar hurriedly handed over to an old book boy and went straight to the middle cabin to rest.
The book boy directed the boatman to move the books onto the deck, but stopped them from moving the books into the cabin. Instead, he ordered the teenage intern book boy beside him:
"These books have just been collected, and not only do they have a strong musty smell, they must also be infested with book-eating insects such as silverfish."
"Just arrange it on the deck and let it sit in the sun for a few hours before putting it in storage."
"If there are new customers who like some of the books in this pile, you might as well let them choose. A thick volume will cost 50 copper coins, a medium volume will cost 30 coins, and a thin volume will cost 20 coins. If it is a copybook, ten coins will be enough."
"It was just a book collected by a poor old scholar who was not even a civil servant. It had no secrets and no value. After his death, his son sold it all for one silver dollar."
"Hao Shou is poor in scriptures, and his whole life is wasted, but he only has one dollar."
After the old scholar finished speaking, he turned around and went to the cabin.
As he turned around, he happened to see Tao Qian getting on the boat out of the corner of his eye, but he pretended not to see him, accelerated his steps, and disappeared in a flash.
Apparently he had made up his mind that if Tao Qian chased him in, he would definitely run into other book boys.
Unfortunately, he thought wrong. As soon as Tao Qian came up, he went straight to the musty pile of books.
First he raised his hands to the two boatmen who were working, then looked at the intern book boy and said politely:
"I also heard what the person just said. I happen to be interested in these new books. Can I choose them?"
"Invite you!"
When the intern saw the business, he immediately agreed with a bright smile.
Tao Qian actually locked the target instantly, but out of caution, he still pretended to browse through the pile of books and pick it up.
Soon, he casually picked up a green and black middle volume with rough printing, dirty cover, and even holes.
Book title?
Very strange, not really.
Tao Qian managed his expression and turned directly to the first page.
It was also at this moment that the strange flow of information exploded in Tao Qian's mind again.
The familiar weird format was slowly sorted out:
[Name: Nameless Secret Book.]
【Ziography: Kung Fu.】
[Record of the Chronicle: In the ninth year of Tianming's destiny, Wu Ming, a layman who sought immortality, died on a cold bed at home. He was ninety-three years old. He was a noble and wild man with a good nature. Although he was diligent in his poor years and studied hard, he failed to pass the test many times.
At the age of sixty, he turned to the path of immortality
, who calls himself Xunxian Jushi... This volume was written by him in his later years. Because he was already unconscious at that time, the contents contained in it are confusing and unclear. Only on the last page, there is an article "Xianyu Jue"
", can lead to heaven."
[Note 1: This book has been contaminated by the mind of "Wu Ming" and has the characteristics of making people crazy. If you practice the Immortal Fish Art contained in it, every time you practice it, your mind, soul and soul will be assimilated by the way of heaven until your body
He died stiffly, and his mind and soul merged into the way of heaven like a fairy fish.]
[Note 2: The second price of practicing the Immortal Fish Technique is that no matter how many times you practice it, you will have a chance of dying suddenly when your soul turns into a fish and swims in the chaos. 】
[Note 3: After practicing ten times, you can be exempted from nine times, and the remaining one is uncontrollable.]
…
"Tsk"
Tao Qian didn't make a sound, but deep down he gasped in shock.
Although he had gained something new, Tao Qian was inexplicably unhappy when he saw the information.
Starting from the unknown residual secret that allowed him to obtain the "immortality characteristic", followed by the Secret Book of Baiqinxi, and then this nameless secret book.
Three consecutive objects that clearly come from the world of extraordinary spiritual practice all have a common characteristic. It is difficult to describe this as a coincidence.
Tao Qian felt that he had a vague insight into the first law of the spiritual world, perhaps an iron law:
Chapter completed!
