Ten miles northeast of the outer gate of the Ziyang Sect, in a wide valley, there was a bustling noise, because this was a market provided by the sect for its Qi Refining disciples.

Many inner disciples dressed in blue robes with cloud patterns stopped at each stall from time to time to select the spiritual materials, spiritual weapons, and spiritual pills that caught their eye.

Of course, there were also some disciples who concealed themselves well, clearly not wanting others to recognize them, which is only human nature.

Therefore, Ma Ke's appearance did not attract much attention.

With a clear goal in mind, he first exchanged two bottles of pills for a storage bag, then exchanged three bottles of medicine for a spirit boat, and then stopped wandering around.

Immediately, he found an open space, laid a cloth on the ground, took out a cultivation manual and placed it on it, and then put up a sign next to it that read: Superior Qi Cultivation Technique, exchange for 100 mid-grade spirit stones or spirit materials, spirit weapons, spirit pills and spirit talismans of equivalent value.

A passing disciple chuckled, "A superior Qi cultivation technique for only a hundred mid-grade spirit stones? Isn't that practically telling everyone this technique is fake?"

Ma Ke said in a slightly hoarse voice, "The cultivation method is genuine, but it's incomplete. It's suitable for the Qi Refining stage, so you'll need to switch to another cultivation method after Foundation Establishment. However, it's several times faster to cultivate than the sect's Qi Refining method. I'm cultivating it now."

"Oh? Is that really true?" Clearly, Ma Ke's words had piqued his interest.

For many Qi Refining disciples, the matter after Foundation Establishment is not something they can think about yet. They should focus on cultivating to the Qi Refining Perfection stage as soon as possible, and then try Foundation Establishment.

After all, not everyone can establish a foundation; it would be good if one out of a hundred Qi Refining stage cultivators could successfully establish a foundation.

Therefore, the idea of ​​quickly reaching the Qi Refining Perfection stage through a single cultivation method is very appealing.

Ma Ke immediately replied, "Whether it's true or not, I can let you take a look at the technique first and judge for yourself."

"Good, brother, that's great."

Ma Ke picked up the manual, tore it in half, and handed over the first half.

His actions quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding disciples, and some curious people gathered around.

The disciple took half of the manual and quickly examined it, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

After thinking it over for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll change."

As he spoke, he took out a small pile of spirit stones and a jade box from his storage bag: "These are fifty mid-grade spirit stones, and this box contains a blue spirit grass that is about two hundred years old. That should be enough to offset the remaining fifty spirit stones."

Ma Ke quickly checked it, put it directly into his storage bag, and said, "Alright, you can now copy the cultivation technique."

Without hesitation, the disciple took out a blank jade slip and quickly copied the half of the cultivation technique in his hand and the remaining half handed over by Ma Ke. Then, he left without pausing.

"Let me see." Seeing that someone had completed the transaction, a female disciple stepped forward eagerly.

"Let me take a look too."

Anyway, it doesn't cost much to take a look. If you really come across a good cultivation technique, spending only a hundred mid-grade spirit stones is very worthwhile.

Those who viewed the information mostly chose to trade.

Those who can readily produce a hundred mid-grade spirit stones generally possess the cultivation level of the late Qi Refining stage. In terms of aptitude and comprehension, they are certainly no less capable than Liu Ruoxi, and thus can naturally discern the approximate quality of cultivation techniques.

Seeing that more than ten people had chosen to trade, and more people continued to crowd around, a loud shout suddenly came: "Those who want it, come to me, it only costs fifty mid-grade spirit stones."

Everyone looked over and saw that it was a senior brother they had just traded with, and many of them were familiar with him.

This person was Xue Wenzhou from the third peak, Yunmiao Peak. He had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, just one step away from perfection, and was quite famous among the Qi Refining disciples.

"With Senior Brother Xue's expertise, this technique must be quite good. I'd like a copy." Someone immediately stepped forward.

"I'll have one too."

When the price was halved, people instinctively felt they were getting a bargain, and the crowd surrounding Ma Ke surged over.

After all, no one wants to spend an extra fifty mid-grade spirit stones for the same thing.

Ma Ke was furious and immediately stepped forward to question, "Senior brother, isn't this inappropriate?"

Xue Wenzhou chuckled lightly: "What's wrong with it? I bought it, so it's mine. You didn't say anything about not sharing it, did you?"

"That's right..." some people immediately chimed in.

This sounds reasonable, but frankly, it's because Xue Wenzhou isn't afraid to offend Ma Ke. He had observed Ma Ke's cultivation level and found him to be only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. In addition, given his secretive nature, he definitely doesn't have any background.

Since that's the case, why not take advantage of this risk-free opportunity?

With him interfering like this, Ma Ke's business naturally couldn't continue.

So, amidst a chorus of boos, he left looking rather disheveled.

To these people, Ma Ke had fled in disarray, but they didn't know that Ma Ke should thank Xue Wenzhou.

Because he had been looking for an opportunity to escape for a long time, since his main purpose today was to spread the "Open Source Limitless Skill", not to earn spirit stones.

Moreover, he was worried that if he sold too well and made too much money, it would attract the envy of some people, who might then try to sabotage him behind his back.

This is just right. A few thousand mid-grade spirit stones aren't worth the risk of killing and robbing within the sect.

Even so, Ma Ke deliberately weaved through the crowd several times, taking the opportunity to remove some of his costume. Feeling that he had shaken off any potential pursuers, he quickly left the market, summoned his newly purchased spirit boat, and soon disappeared.

After entering Xishan, he changed his outfit again and casually hunted down two spirit rabbits and a spirit chicken.

Immediately, he reverted to his outer disciple attire, concealed his cultivation level at the second level of Qi Refining, and then casually sped back.

After returning to the outer gate, he gave Lü Xiu a spirit rabbit and a spirit chicken, keeping only the spirit rabbit for himself for dinner.

That night, Ma Ke tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, and had no interest in cultivating.

Suddenly, he sat up abruptly. It turned out that the "Open Source Limitless Skill" in his mind had finally reacted and opened a new page.

It seems this person's comprehension is much stronger than Liu Ruoxi's; he mastered the method of circulating energy in the Small Heavenly Circuit of the "Open Source Limitless Skill" in less than a day.

Of course, Ma Ke only provided the Small Heavenly Circuit section, which is why he called it a fragment.

The reason he didn't provide the full text was because he was worried that the technique was too good and would attract the attention of the sect's higher-ups. If they investigated it thoroughly, it might cause him trouble. In any case, the Lesser Heavenly Cycle part wouldn't prevent them from sharing the technique and his insights with him.

This newly opened senior brother is at the ninth level of Qi Refining. His understanding of the Qi Refining stage spells in the sect's cultivation technique, "Ziyang True Scripture," is naturally deeper than Liu Ruoxi's. In addition, there are a few spells that Liu Ruoxi has not practiced.

Ma Ke was no longer sleepy and immediately began practicing.

More than an hour later, his eyes lit up again. It turned out that another page of the "Open Source Limitless Skill" had been opened, which meant that someone else had successfully cultivated it.

"Keep practicing, the more you cultivate, the better." Ma Ke was overjoyed.
