"Let's not talk about this again..." He revealed the details of Yao Lao's background in just a few words.

The two sat cross-legged facing each other, talking about their hometown and its customs, laughing and chatting as before.

Half an hour later, the incantations, key points, and mental seals of Hunyuan Zhuang and Xingyi Wuxing Quan were all transmitted to Xiao Yan's ears.

Chung Kwok-hung wasn't concerned about how much skill he had acquired.

He bid farewell to his homeland and fellow villagers, and headed alone towards the Monster Forest.

The house is drafty and leaky. If we want to move to a decent house, we need to earn enough money first.

On his way to the Monster Forest, he used the True Fire of the Sun to completely refine the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

He immersed his consciousness into the storage ring, memorizing all the cultivation techniques and alchemy skills contained within.

The ocean is vast because it embraces all rivers; the stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.

The cultivation techniques in the world of Battle Through the Heavens, though not supreme, still offer points for study and reference.

After entering the Monster Forest, Chung Kwok-hung slew many monsters and collected a number of rare medicinal herbs.

"Let's try Elder Yao's alchemy techniques."

He chose a place with clear mountains and waters, and casually cast a medicine cauldron.

He repeatedly hammered and refined various medicinal materials, deducing and revising them time and time again without any slackening.

"Compared to true alchemy, this medicine-refining technique is far inferior."

He looked down at the few bottles of pills that had just been produced, and then he refined a top-grade spiritual artifact-level pill refining furnace.

"The Fighter Pills are divided into nine grades. A person with the ninth level of Fighting Qi can enter the ranks of Fighters by taking a Grade 1 Fighter Pill."

"The Battle Master Pill is also divided into nine grades, which can help a fighter break through to become a Battle Master, and can also enhance the Battle Master's essence."

"The Great Dou Master Pill is also divided into nine grades, used to break through to the Great Dou Master realm, or to further solidify the Great Dou Master foundation."

The Battle Spirit Pill and Battle King Pill were each refined according to nine grades, with one batch for each grade. After determining the direction of his return journey, he headed back to Wutan City at a leisurely pace.

That dreamlike experience from my past life now lies quietly deep in my memory.

Having experienced the ups and downs of several lifetimes, he would no longer dwell in the mire of the past.

Having arrived here, he settled down with peace of mind—this has always been his way of dealing with the world.

Ordinary people are reincarnated, forgetting their past lives.

He traveled through different worlds many times, and each crossing was like a true cycle of reincarnation.

On his journey home, he gradually practiced the techniques recorded in the precepts.

The treasure basin perfectly replicated the old man's storage ring, and even the contents inside were copied and reproduced.

"The Burning Technique is far less profound than the 'True Scripture of Blazing Sun,' but its structure and framework are indeed worth studying."

Before even stepping into Wutan City, he had already mastered all the cultivation techniques within his storage ring.

Back in his low, dilapidated hut in the city, he began to study the "Ten Tribulations Secret Manual".

In his previous life, he seemed ordinary in Jin Yong's world, but in reality, he had accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Regardless of those beautiful women in the martial arts world, they fulfilled a wish he dared not dream of when he was young.

The mere transformation of the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" into the "Ten Tribulations Secret Manual" was enough to give him a complete makeover.

Even if the nine Nine Provinces Cauldrons do not reach the level of innate spiritual treasures, they must undoubtedly be acquired spiritual treasures.

After the nine cauldrons were gathered, they floated at the same height in the upper dantian as the God-Slaying Spear, the Chaos Bell, and the Minghong Blade.

However, they were about twice as far from the treasure basin as the other three treasures.

The Qi-refining methods in Jin Yong's world were unremarkable, but the martial arts techniques benefited him greatly.

At that time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was depleted, and the upper limit of cultivation was firmly suppressed.

When strength reaches its limit, people devote all their energy to the art of martial arts.

For example, the various sword techniques in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" would be far more powerful than the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade if placed in the world of Swallowed Star.

Ultimately, the strength of a martial art depends on the user.

Feng Qingyang and Dongfang Bubai are invincible in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, but they may not be able to defeat the initial war god of Swallowing the Stars. However, their sword intent and skill level have already surpassed those of Thor and Lin Fan.

Two equally matched individuals faced off: one wielded the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, the other the Dugu Nine Swords; the outcome was already clear.

Dongfang Bubai's combat strength is no less than Feng Qingyang's.

The reason they were no match for the novice war god was that the opponent's strength in terms of muscles, bones, and flesh far exceeded their expectations.

In the world of martial arts, nothing is invincible, only fast is invincible.

When speed and power both overwhelm, even the most profound techniques cannot change the irreversible situation.

When hungry, I would cook a few hot dishes; when thirsty, I would pour a bowl of water.

"His life level has increased a thousandfold. Even at the Foundation Establishment stage, he can kill a Dou Zun with a single blow."

After examining himself, Chung Kwok-hung smiled slightly.

His height increased from 1.7 meters to 1.85 meters, and his weight steadily increased from over 60 kilograms to 80 kilograms.

"It's time to move to a new place."

The hut was crooked, with peeling paint on the walls. Zhong Guohong glanced at it and turned to leave.

He walked straight into the Temir Auction House and took out ten bottles of Foundation Building Elixir.

Utan City is located in a remote corner, and its size is sufficient to meet local needs.

Before long, soft footsteps echoed down the stairs. An old man led a woman down slowly—she had cascading golden hair, wore a crimson brocade robe with a plain ribbon tied around her waist, had snow-white skin, long, slender legs, and a graceful, undulating figure.

"Sir, are you here to sell Foundation Establishment Elixir?" Ya Fei asked with a gentle smile, her voice clear and melodious like a nightingale's song.

"The goods are here, name your price." Zhong Guohong's tone was calm, but his heart was slightly stirred.

This woman was poised and self-possessed, yet she was like a ripe peach, exuding a subtle sweetness that was hard to ignore.

Everyone has a weakness, and he was no exception; beauty was an old wound in his heart that had not yet healed.

Who among the living doesn't have any obsessions? Who doesn't have any attachments?

The dead have no desires or wants, so they are naturally fearless and undaunted—yet they are still breathing and thinking about tomorrow's dawn.

He had never practiced any techniques to sever emotions and desires, nor did he wish to. If one truly severed all seven emotions and six desires, what difference would there be between living and being buried?

"Master Gu Ni, please examine it." Ya Fei nodded to the side.

"Hmm." Second-grade alchemist Gu Ni bent down to examine it closely, and after a moment exclaimed, "Excellent quality..."

"I am Temir Yafei from Temir Auction House. May I ask your name, sir?" she asked with a gentle smile.

"Chung Kwok-hung," he answered crisply.

"Mr. Zhong is also an alchemist?" Her eyes flickered slightly.

He made no attempt to hide it: "To be precise, I'm an alchemist."

"An alchemist?" Her eyes flashed.

"One level higher than an alchemist." He spoke calmly, without any hint of boasting.

"Quite the boast," she thought to herself, but maintained her smile. "Master Zhong, how about 15,000 gold coins for one dose of Foundation Establishment Elixir?"

Xiao Zhan bid for this item in Battle Through the Heavens for 40,000 gold coins.

That was because the three major families took turns increasing their bids, and the price had already been artificially inflated.

The auction house wanted to make a profit, and there were no strong competitors locally. By putting all ten lots together and driving the average price down to 15,000, they were already showing great sincerity.

A single bottle can sell for 40,000, but two bottles are hard to guarantee; when ten bottles are released at once, the price per unit drops, which is simply due to market conditions.

"Okay." Chung Kwok-hung nodded.

Ya Fei immediately ordered someone to bring 150,000 gold coins and handed over a gilded card: "This is a VIP card for our Temir Auction House..."
