I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 19 Lost Tracks

Huangfu Shen's voice suddenly rang in his ears, and Song Jie felt his scalp tingling instantly.

If I were a cat, I would probably be furious.

I even put on a human skin mask, but I didn't expect that Huangfu Shen could still recognize me.

He turned his head to look at Li Caiwei and found that she didn't show any doubtful expression, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that only I can hear the greeting from Huangfu Shen.

The other party's movements of turning his head and blinking were also fleeting.

Even Li Caiwei beside him didn't notice anything unusual, so it seems that the other cultivators around him didn't notice anything either.

Li Caiwei frowned as she watched two figures running past one after the other, raising a cloud of dust.

"Let's keep walking."

"Ah."

Song Jie nodded.

In a place like this, neither of them had the heart to talk.

Not long after, under the guidance of Li Caiwei, Song Jie came to a grocery store.

When I walked into the grocery store, I saw an old man with a wrinkled face sitting behind the counter.

The old man was wearing tattered cloth, with a few sparse white hair on his head and a pipe in his hand.

He was sitting there leisurely, smoking a cigarette.

Even if there are guests coming in, he will ignore them.

Song Jie casually glanced at the grocery store.

I saw a pile of what could be described as broken things placed on the cabinet against the wall.

A broken bowl, a worn-out rattle, a dirty puppet with only one eye, a wooden sword with a broken corner, a horn with a hole in it...

There is not a single complete product in sight.

Moreover, both the cabinets and the sundries were covered with dust and white cobwebs.

If Li Caiwei hadn't brought him here, Song Jie would never have thought that such a junk grocery store actually had secret manuals for sale.

This was not the first time Li Caiwei came here, so she went straight to the point.

"Senior, we want to buy a manual on body movements for the Qi Refining period."

The old man took another puff of cigarette, savored it for a while, then slowly exhaled and said in a hoarse voice:
"One hundred and fifty spirit stones, no bargaining, if you want it, buy it, if you don't want it, forget it."

Li Caiwei turned her head to look at Song Jie, and after seeing him nod, she said, "No problem."

The old man looked up at the two of them, then slowly stood up.

"Come with me to the back."

The two followed the old man to a room in the back hall of the grocery store.

"sit."

The old man pointed to a round wooden table in the room, then found a chair and sat down.

Song Jie and Li Caiwei looked at each other, and without any hesitation, they found a chair and sat down.

The old man just raised his hand and three secret books appeared in his hand.

This old man has a storage bag.

This thought came to Song Jie subconsciously, but he did not show too much surprise.

After all, he was a man who once owned a storage bag.

It's just a storage bag.

“At present, I have three Qi Refining Stage body movement secret manuals, namely, Stepping into the Air, Swift Wind, and Mysterious Step.

"Non-Motion allows the caster to walk in the air for a short period of time.

"Wind Step allows the caster to move as fast as the wind.

"Phantom Step can make the caster's figure erratic and elusive.

"I wonder which kind of body movement you are interested in?"

The old man introduced the information of the Three Body Techniques Secret Book while spreading it out on the table.

Looking at the three body magic secrets on the table, Song Jie fell into deep thought.

The spells and body movements in the Qi Refining Stage are basically the same, with no strict distinction between good and bad.

The key is to look at the matching.

If they are matched well, the effect of one plus one being greater than two can be achieved. According to the old man's introduction, the Stepping Air Step is more suitable for showing off, the Wind Step is suitable for running away, and the Phantom Step is suitable for fighting with others.

Combine the One Finger Zen and Dragon Claw Hand that you have mastered.

Song Jie felt that the Phantom Step might be more suitable for him, and could complement the One Finger Zen and the Dragon Claw Hand.

Without any further hesitation, Song Jie raised his hand and pointed at the Phantom Step.

"I choose the Phantom Step. Sorry to bother you, Senior."

The old man drooped his eyes and said:
"According to the rules, you need to swear a heavenly oath not to hand over this body movement secret manual to others, nor to teach others this body movement secret manual."

Song Jie nodded. Li Caiwei had told him about this rule before.

Without any hesitation, he made a heavenly oath right in front of the other party.

After completing the oath, the old man nodded slightly and pushed the book of mysterious steps towards Song Jie.

Song Jie immediately took out a sack from his arms, which contained 150 spirit stones.

In this way, the two of them completed the transaction by exchanging spirit stones with one hand and goods with the other.

Putting the secret book of body movement into their arms, Song Jie and Li Caiwei left the grocery store.

"I wonder if Brother Song wants to buy anything else?

"You can buy a lot of things on the black market that you can't buy in the outside market."

Hearing what Li Caiwei said, Song Jie immediately shook his head.

"I don't have any other needs for now. Is there anything you want to buy, Brother Li?"

Are you kidding? I only have seven spirit stones left. What can I afford?
Moreover, now he just wanted to go back quickly to avoid any trouble.

Li Caiwei thought about it seriously and shook her head, "In that case, let's go back."

"it is good."

Song Jie nodded.

Then the two of them wandered around the black market for a while.

After confirming that no one was following them, they found a different passage from the one they came in through and left the black market.

Along the way, both of them were traveling at the fastest speed.

Although you can buy many things on the black market that you cannot buy outside, it also shows that this is a lawless place.

No one knows what kind of danger lurks beneath the calm surface of the lake.

Fortunately, they had no danger along the way and returned to Xinyuefang City safely.

After saying goodbye to each other at the entrance of the market town, Song Jie hurried back to his rented house in the darkness.

He closed the door with his backhand, and only at this moment did Song Jie feel that he was out of danger.

Although this small house was not big and not sturdy, it still provided him with some sense of security.

He took out from his arms the secret book of body movements that cost him one hundred and fifty spirit stones.

"Phantom Step."

A smile appeared on Song Jie's face.

The secret book of body movement that I have been longing for for a long time has finally been obtained.

Without rushing to open the cheat book and browse through it, Song Jie recalled what happened in the grocery store before.

When he swore the oath to Heaven in front of the old man, he did not seem to feel Heaven's gaze.

The Heavenly Dao Oath has an extremely strong binding force on cultivators.

Therefore, some special transactions often require one or both parties to swear an oath to heaven.

It is usually the stronger party who asks the weaker party to take an oath.

For example, this transaction of Song Jie's body movement secret book was like this.

The old man clearly had an attitude that if you believe me, I'll buy it, but if you don't, I won't buy it. It's up to you whether to buy it or not.

If Song Jie's strength is similar to that old man's, perhaps he can ask the other party to swear an oath to heaven to prove that the secret book he sells is real.

It’s a pity that Song Jie is just a rookie at the second level of Qi Refining Stage and does not have such confidence.

Normally, when a cultivator swears an oath to the Heaven, he will feel something in his heart.

But when Song Jie swore to the Heaven before, there was no response, just like he was talking normally.

"Could it be that my cultivation is too low and I can't sense that?"
