"I'm in a good mood today. Since I've met a strange little guy like you, I'll give you some advice. The path of the physical body is divided into several levels just like the martial arts realm. Generally speaking, those who weigh less than ten thousand pounds are in the Bone Tempering Realm, and those who weigh more than ten thousand pounds are in the Blood Refining Realm. Those who have the strength of one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred pounds are in the Blood Refining Realm. Even if they haven't reached the Blood Refining Realm, they can still tear a martial artist in the Blood Refining Realm to shreds.
Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Chen felt that he was ignorant and inexperienced. The path of the body was indeed broad and profound. A hundred thousand jin of strength gathered in one's body, how terrifying would that be? However, he immediately suppressed this thought. The world was so big, and the path of martial arts was full of endless mysteries. He would never give up when looking at the Great Wilderness.
"When the physical body exceeds a hundred thousand jin of strength, a vision will appear behind your back. The body's blood qi will be like a beacon of smoke, like the setting sun. Even ordinary people can see it. In the legends, there were ancestors of the human race who had a hundred thousand jin of strength. Their blood qi will be like the sun, and their iron fists will pierce through the heavens and the earth."
Xiao Chen flipped through the two body refining secret techniques on the table while listening to the old shopkeeper's words. The old man's words could be said to have given him a great shock. No matter what path of martial arts it was, it would be able to turn the rotten into the magical in the end.
Of these two body refining secret techniques, one was called the Tempered Bone Golden Body Secret Technique, which was divided into three levels. The first level was the Tempered Bone Technique, the second level was the Tempered Bone Technique, and the third level was the Invincible Golden Body Secret Technique.
The other secret technique was incomplete. It only had two levels, the Iron Battle Body Secret Technique and the Bronze Battle Body Secret Technique. However, this secret technique was what Xiao Chen liked.
Seeing Xiao Chen flipping this secret technique over and over again, the old shopkeeper revealed an expression as if he had already guessed it.
"The Body Refining Secret Manual that you took has an extraordinary origin."
"Oh, if that's the case, please tell me." The old man's words also aroused Xiao Chen's interest.
"This Purple Gold Battle Body Secret Technique used to be the secret technique of the Purple Gold Battle Body Secret Technique."
"The Purple Gold Battle Body Secret Technique!"
After coming to this world, this was the first time Xiao Chen heard someone talk about the Sovereign Tribes of the human race. It could be said that the Sovereign Tribes were the strongest human tribe in the Great Desolate. Every Sovereign Tribe was a legend. They were the backbone of the human race in the Great Desolate.
And this secret manual was actually a secret of the King's Tribe, which showed how powerful it was. A secret manual that could support a King's Tribe could be said to be a priceless treasure.
"Since this is the Secret technique of the King Tribe, how could it become incomplete and lost?"
"This is just a copy. The real manual has been missing for a long time. Not only that, this manual has been copied countless times, scattered in countless human clans of the Great Wasteland, and even in the collections of the alien races."
"This junior is ignorant and inexperienced. I wonder why I have never heard of this Purple Gold King Tribe before."
"This Purple Gold King Tribe was one of the Ten Great King Tribes of the Eastern Continent thirty thousand years ago. They suppressed the Great Desolate Human Race's territory for hundreds of millions of miles. Relying on this supreme secret technique, the Purple Gold Battle Body, generation after generation, the Purple Gold King Tribe's might shook the endless Great Desolate. They killed so many different clans that they trembled in fear at the sound of their name, not daring to draw their bows and complain. My Desolate Border Region is under the jurisdiction of the Purple Gold Tribe."
Xiao Chen didn't know exactly what kind of realm a King Realm expert was at. Experts at that realm had long since attained the power to speak, and they could transform into a myriad of forms. A single word from them could cause the heavens and the earth to lose their color and the rivers and seas to flow in reverse.
"Extreme prosperity leads to decline. For the Strange Races, the powerful Purple Gold Battle Body Secret Technique was not something they wanted to see. Therefore, the people of the Hundred Races formed an alliance with more than ten races to besiege the Purple Gold Battle Body Secret Technique. In the end, when the Purple Gold Battle Body Secret Technique was defeated, it self-detonated and killed two Kings of the Strange Races. The Purple Gold Battle Body Secret Technique was then spread."
After flipping through this secret technique roughly, Xiao Chen had a rough understanding of it. This was a secret manual for the Purple-Gold Battle Body. Not only would one's physical body become stronger after practicing it, it could also strengthen the meridians and increase the capacity of the Battle Qi in the body.
Even for a Bone Tempering Realm cultivator, after cultivating this technique, they could rely on their strong physical body to absorb the Essence from Essence Stones, speeding up the tempering of their physical body. They would be able to reach the Blood Refinement Realm faster without having to worry about their safety. This was another reason why Xiao Chen was interested in this Cultivation Technique.
With this secret technique, the younger generation of the Gu Yuan Tribe could refine their body at the beginning of cultivation and directly absorb the Qi from the Primordial Stones, speeding up the speed of entering the Blood Refining Realm. As for the flaw of this secret technique that consumed too much resources, Xiao Chen directly ignored it. There were gains and losses. As long as he could quickly increase the foundation of the Gu Yuan Tribe, how could he not pay a price?
"Senior Qing Qing, how much is this body refining secret technique worth?"
Since he had decided to buy this secret technique, Xiao Chen asked the old man about the price. He was already prepared to spend a lot of money. After all, even if this secret technique was incomplete, it was still a priceless treasure.
"One Primordial Stone."
"What?!"
Xiao Chen thought he had heard wrong. The old man was only offering one Primordial Stone for such a secret technique. If it was not for the old man's firm confirmation and no trace of mockery on his face, Xiao Chen would have thought that the old man had lost his mind. How could there be a seller who would lower the price of his own item so much?
"That's right, just one Primordial Stone. However, there's another condition."
"As expected!" Xiao Chen's heart moved slightly. He knew that it would not be so simple. The next part was the main show.
"You are at the peak of the Early Blood Refining Realm at the age of twenty. Coupled with the strength of your body, ordinary Blood Refining Realm martial artists will not be your opponent. It seems that our human race has given birth to another genius. Congratulations. The condition I mentioned is also the last King of Purple Gold's last request before he died. Any human martial artist who cultivates the Purple Gold Battle Body must put the human race first, slaughter all the foreign races, and protect the human race's survival and reproduction!"
"What a strong killing intent."
Xiao Chen, who was sitting opposite the old man, suddenly felt a strong aura rushing towards him. His tone became more and more powerful, carrying an unquestionable firmness.
He stood up again and bowed to the old man in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. "The human race's stability is everyone's responsibility. As a member of the Great Wilderness's human race, I will definitely put the human race's righteousness first. Even if my strength is low, I will not dare to forget the will of my ancestors."
"Good. This Purple Gold Battle Body was originally created to fight against the foreign races. It has been covered in dust in this old man's hands for a long time."
Seeing that Xiao Chen was neither servile nor overbearing, the old man's expression also softened. He handed the secret technique back to Xiao Chen.
As a shopkeeper of the Four Way Pavillion, wealth was just a number to him. At this moment, Xiao Chen's identity had greatly aroused his interest. His task of overseeing the Giant Rock Valley was not only to maintain trade, but also to manage the various forces' intelligence.
