The old man took the jade slip and a strange expression appeared on his face. He sized up Xiao Buli, then suddenly smiled in a way that seemed like how an adult would watch a child do something incredibly silly.

Xiao Buli felt indignant. It was one thing for his second-hand treasures to be dismissed with contempt by the old man, but this jade slip had been obtained through hardship from the Immortal Realm. Even if it wasn’t valuable, it didn’t merit such disdain.

He blurted out, "Are you going to buy it or not? If not, just leave it be. Don’t damage it with your handling."

The old man wasn’t offended. Holding the jade slip, he asked Xiao Buli, "This jade slip of yours, it was obtained from a treasure chest outside, wasn’t it?"

"Yes," Xiao Buli didn’t conceal anything and, still irritated, briefly explained how he came across the treasure chest outside to prove the slip’s value.

The old man didn’t show any particular interest in Xiao Buli’s experience. Presumably being an immortal, he was no stranger to such adventures. He chuckled and said, "Ha ha, it sounds like your luck is quite good. Let me tell you, those treasure chests were left by ancient immortals from ancient times. They are extremely precious. Historical records indicate that during ancient times, a great catastrophe erupted in the Immortal Realm. To prevent their secret techniques and wealth from being lost and forgotten, the ancient immortals created countless treasure chests, divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. The lower-grade chests were naturally of inferior quality, usually made of wood and contained a number of spirit stones. The middle-grade chests were made of white jade and contained an Immortal Register, spirit stones, and magical treasures. Upper-grade chests are said to be made of Vajra Colored Jade and stored supreme treasures, but to this day, no one has found one. So, what it actually looks like is unknown. The chest you opened should be a middle-grade one, found only through great fortune. This jade slip is an Immortal Register. When these were first discovered, they were called Nameless Jade Slips, and only after unsealing them can one see clearly what the contents are. You haven’t unsealed this jade slip, so you mustn’t know its mysteries," the old man said in a gentle voice, unfolding the story clearly, causing Xiao Buli to have a sudden realization and feeling somewhat apologetic for his earlier rudeness.

He quickly made a polite bow with his hands, "Thank you for the information, elder. I just don’t know what contents are generally within these jade slips, and how can I unseal it?"

The old man nodded, apparently quite pleased with the change in his attitude, and continued, "The contents within these jade slips vary greatly. Some are ancient texts or historical records, but most of them contain spells and scriptures. Since you are fated to it, the techniques inside are mostly suitable for your cultivation. They would not be of much use to others. These ancient secrets are mostly very powerful, especially for ordinary people like you. Such an opportunity is rare and not to be sought after lightly. Thus, I advise against selling it; better to keep and study it for yourself. If you want to unseal it, just drip your blood onto it."

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Xiao Buli was overjoyed. Since the immortals themselves said it was powerful, the jade slip must indeed be extraordinary. He quickly took it from the old man’s hands, drew a short blade, pricked his finger, and let the blood drip onto the slip. The blood was immediately absorbed upon contact with the jade slip, which then emitted a glowing white light. As the glow dispersed, the golden lettering on the slip became clear. The markings seemed to wriggle, re-forming into words. Xiao Buli unfolded it again, and this time he could see everything clearly—it was indeed a skill manual.

It was titled "Pure Yang Sword Skills."

Skill description: Created by the True Person of Pure Yang, this Sword Control Heart Method allows one to manipulate flying swords for attack and defense. It is a rare and valuable Sword Control skill.

Learning requirements: Yang Attribute True Origin Force, Elementary Cultivation Technique.

Xiao Buli, seeing this, was ecstatic. Could it be that the words "Pure Yang" were exactly suited for his Yi Wood Xuan Yang Scripture? Although he had this profound technique, Xiao Buli had always felt that it was not being fully utilized. Apart from increasing his mana and Stamina Points recovery ability, it seemed utterly useless. Moreover, he lacked active attack skills corresponding to this Inner Strength. He had felt the Yi Wood Xuan Yang Scripture was somewhat like an inconvenient obligation, but now everything became clear. Xiao Buli felt that the Yi Wood Xuan Yang Scripture and the Pure Yang Sword Skills were like bullets to a handgun. Although he previously had the scripture, he had the power of the cultivation technique but no means to enact it, like someone with a full arsenal but unable to fire. Finally getting that handgun, what was once just gunpowder had turned into a deadly weapon.

This time, he had not only acquired the Cultivation Technique but also the Sword Control Technique. He could finally become a true cultivator.

With excitement in his heart and no hesitation in his actions, Xiao Buli chose to cultivate without delay. The characters on the Jade Slip seemed to come alive, lining up in formation, turned into a beam of golden light that soared into the air and merged into his body. A surge of Spiritual Energy burst forth from within him like substance, and Xiao Buli felt a plethora of knowledge and memories suddenly emerge in his mind. The application of the "Pure Yang Sword Skills," their variable moves, and continuous Dharma Methods filled his brain as if a little person inside was tirelessly transporting and building, eventually constructing a beautiful and exquisite palace within him.

This feeling of instant mastery was completely different from the sensation he experienced when learning skills in front of a computer. Xiao Buli thought to himself that it was a blessing in disguise; although using decades-old equipment, this sensation of rapid growth was something that modern computer terminals couldn’t compare to. With these skills, Xiao Buli believed that even if he left the game, his application of these skills would be extremely proficient.

Seeing the expressions change on Xiao Buli’s face, the old man stroked his beard and smiled, extending his hand and saying, "Alright, now that you have learned the skill, it’s time to pay up, isn’t it?"

"Pay?" Xiao Buli came back to his senses from his surprise and excitement, looking at the benevolent-looking old immortal with some confusion.

The old man pointed to the sign. Xiao Buli looked over curiously and saw that next to the large sign advertising the recycling of second-hand Jade Slips, a line of tiny characters had appeared at some unknown time: "Consultation fee, 50 Spirit Stones each."

I’m fainting, what a scam artist! Xiao Buli was inwardly fuming, knowing that the old man must have added the small characters using Immortal Law. However, being in the Immortal Realm, he knew that even calling upon a lowly White Name soldier could bring him down, and he didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble. Besides, he did indeed gain a benefit, so he took a deep breath and paid the fifty Spirit Stones, causing the old man who recycled second-hand Magical Treasures to burst into laughter as if mocking Xiao Buli for ultimately getting the short end of the stick.

Just as Xiao Buli was about to say something to relieve his frustration, he suddenly felt the ground beneath him shake violently. The old man who was recycling second-hand treasures immediately put away his smile and his face turned serious in an instant.

"How can there be earthquakes in the Immortal Realm?" Xiao Buli said in surprise.

But the old man answered in a low voice, "Fairy City is protected by enchantments. How could it suddenly shake unless there’s been some calamity? Boy, go find your master quickly and flee for your life."

Before the old man’s words could fade, as if to prove his point, a Golden Armored Soldier who had been standing guard outside suddenly ran into the great hall and shouted loudly, using some unknown spell, "This is bad, a multitude of giants are attacking the city outside Penglai Immortal City! The City Lord has ordered that all Immortal Families, young and old, must defend the city."

Xiao Buli’s heart skipped a beat. He wondered if what was bound to happen was finally coming. How inconvenient that he hadn’t spent all his Spirit Stones yet. If Penglai Immortal City were to be breached, wouldn’t the Spirit Stones in his hands be wasted? But then he thought he might be overthinking it. How could Penglai Immortal City, having stood in the Immortal Realm for so many years, be so easily breached? He decided it was better to go out and see for himself (To be continued.
