Number of purchases?
Li Shuang looked over with some curiosity, and then she froze.
The entry-level Rebirth Art had a staggering 100,000 purchases.
However, for the advanced stage of the Rebirth Art, the number of purchases dropped to only ten.
And for the final stage of the Rebirth Art, the number of purchases was: 0!
The City of Ten Thousand Laws had existed for so long.
So many people had tried this Rebirth Art, yet the number of people who had cultivated it to the final stage remained 0!
"The entry-level stage of this cultivation method is practically free, so, initially, almost everyone wanted to give it a try. The result of their attempts was that they spent a lot of time and energy, but gained nothing. Among 100,000 people, only ten were able to advance using this soul cultivation method!"
"Even fewer, none at all, broke through to the final stage!"
"It's now widely accepted in the City of Ten Thousand Laws that this cultivation method was put out by the City Lord as a prank, and it might not even be a complete cultivation method. Buying this method is a minor loss of one point, but the real issue is the large amount of time and energy wasted on it."
Su Mu earnestly tried to persuade her.
No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw Li Shuang had already directly purchased the entry-level Rebirth Art.
Su Mu: "???"
Had he been talking for nothing?
Li Shuang said, "Senior, you said losing one point is a minor matter."
Su Mu: "..."
Does she only listen to half of what he says?
Su Mu took a deep breath: "Never mind, never mind. You've bought it, just don't spend any time on it."
Li Shuang felt a little guilty.
Not spending time on it was impossible.
With the Heaven and Earth Furnace, she didn't believe she couldn't master this cultivation method.
This was the most suitable cultivation method for her at this stage.
But Li Shuang wouldn't say this. Afterwards, she chose another soul secret art worth 2000 points: Soul Chains.
This secret art could materialize the soul into chains, binding people, demons, and even heaven and earth.
It was a decent offensive technique.
Then.
Li Shuang also purchased a movement secret art worth 1500 points: Roaming Dragon Steps.
Adding the Record of Wonders worth three thousand points, the points she earned from clearing the three major secret realms were almost entirely spent.
Su Mu immediately clutched his chest!
Record of Wonders?
What did Li Shuang buy that for?!
The most important soul cultivation method, yet she gained virtually nothing!
"Senior Su, maybe I can learn that Rebirth Art," Li Shuang could only offer as comfort.
Su Mu, still clutching his chest, said, "No matter, no matter. Points can be earned again! With your cultivation speed, you should be able to go to the Soul Prison very soon."
His tone still suggested he didn't believe Li Shuang could learn the Rebirth Art.
"You've learned pretty much everything about the City of Ten Thousand Laws. Send me out to rest for a bit, and you can explore on your own now." Su Mu's voice was a little weak: "I am also a soul, but I don't have the Eyes of Ten Thousand Laws on me. Staying here for too long will cause damage."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuang couldn't help but feel a little flustered: "Senior, why didn't you say so earlier! I'll send you out right now!"
"No worries. I haven't stayed long. I'll just need a few days of recovery when I go back. By the way, after you form a Soul Golden Core, you don't necessarily have to enter the jade slip with your true body anymore. You can also choose to enter with your soul. Either way, it's for cultivating swordsmanship. Sometimes, soul cultivation is more effective than true body cultivation," Su Mu said.
Li Shuang quickly agreed, then without hesitation, she immediately sent the jade slip out.
As soon as Su Mu's voice disappeared, Li Shuang was left alone in the unfamiliar City of Ten Thousand Laws.
Li Shuang adapted to the feeling. She was about to close the resource list when suddenly, she saw something that made her eyes subtly shift.
"Illusion Talisman: Can temporarily change your information in the City of Ten Thousand Laws. Duration: 1 hour."
This Illusion Talisman was worth 100 points.
Li Shuang had 200 points left. She thought for a moment, then directly spent her last 200 points to buy two Illusion Talismans.
Her current identity in the City of Ten Thousand Laws was "Li." This was already discreet enough.
But after using an Illusion Talisman, she could hide even this "Li" identity.
With layers of identities, she didn't believe anyone could discover the secret of the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Li Shuang quickly left the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws. She found an secluded spot, used an Illusion Talisman, and transformed herself into a middle-aged man, changing all her name and information.
Now, her identity was a middle-aged man in the Nascent Soul stage.
Thus.
Li Shuang raced against time to the market!
She wanted to use the Heaven and Earth Furnace to exchange for as many resources as possible within this hour!
On both sides of the street, stalls were packed.
Some were seeking items, some were exchanging, and some even hired assassins.
In this place where real identities could be hidden, many rare treasures, usually hard to come by, appeared on inconspicuous small stalls.
"1000 high-grade spirit stones, seeking one Phoenix Grass. Any Phoenix Grass will do, even a first-grade one."
As soon as she entered the market, Li Shuang's expression subtly changed.
Even first-grade would do?
That was truly wonderful.
Li Shuang quickly searched for information about Phoenix Grass in the Record of Wonders.
This Phoenix Grass only appeared in places where phoenixes resided. But in recent years, the relationship between humans and demons had deteriorated, and phoenixes were super divine beasts among super divine beasts. How could humans approach phoenix territories?
Phoenix Grass had thus become extinct in the human world.
This person likely wanted Phoenix Grass for research.
Li Shuang silently recited various pieces of information about Phoenix Grass. With specific information, Li Shuang only paid a very low price to exchange for a first-grade Phoenix Grass.
She silently walked up to the stall owner and lowered her voice: "You want Phoenix Grass?"
The stall owner's eyes lit up: "You have Phoenix Grass?"
"First-grade is enough?" Li Shuang confirmed.
The stall owner nodded repeatedly: "As long as it's Phoenix Grass!"
Li Shuang nodded calmly: "Let's exchange."
The stall owner suddenly stood up, completely excited.
She had been waiting here for several months, and she actually found Phoenix Grass?
She wasn't worried that the person opposite her was a fraud; transactions in the City of Ten Thousand Laws were protected by rules.
"Good, good, let's each take out our exchange items. As long as it's real Phoenix Grass, I'll exchange with you immediately," the stall owner said impatiently.
Li Shuang merely nodded.
Soon.
The two each took out their respective exchange items. After the stall owner confirmed, a look of wild joy flashed across her face.
Phoenix Grass!
This was truly Phoenix Grass!
After mutual confirmation, the light of the rules flickered, and the transaction was completed!
In Li Shuang's storage bag, 1000 high-grade spirit stones immediately appeared.
Her expression was somewhat dazed.
These spirit stones were earned... too easily!
"If you have more Phoenix Grass, you're welcome to come back and exchange with me," the stall owner said enthusiastically.
Li Shuang shook her head: "Not at the moment."
She didn't say much, and her figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Afterward, Li Shuang used the effect of the Heaven and Earth Furnace to conduct multiple exchanges.
After several such exchanges, even before the Illusion Talisman's effect expired, Li Shuang noticed many gazes following her.
Although fighting was forbidden in the City of Ten Thousand Laws, Li Shuang still controlled the number of exchanges. When the Illusion Talisman was about to expire, she returned to the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws, chose the most crowded place, and went offline on the spot.
Even after returning to her secret chamber, Li Shuang still felt a little nervous.
The existence of the Heaven and Earth Furnace was too heaven-defying. She wouldn't make a second move in a short time.
At the very least, she would wait for a month.
Even so.
Her gains this time were already quite astonishing.
With repeated small investments yielding large returns, Li Shuang suspected that her wealth might even surpass that of a Mahayana stage powerhouse like her master.
Her next task was to digest all the gains from her trip to the City of Ten Thousand Laws.
Ideally, she would return to the Nascent Soul stage within a year.
And strive to break through to the Soul Transformation stage before the Sect Grand Assembly in three years!
