48 Magical Techniques (Today's Third Update)

  "Alas, why hasn't anyone come to buy yet? I've been waiting for almost two days now."

  On the street in the early morning, a girl sat on the ground with her hands under her chin, listlessly guarding her stall. Her stall only had three or four books of magic spells, and they were all low-level spells.

  "Do you want to buy the secret recipe?"

  The girl suddenly saw a figure appear in front of the stall, and she couldn't help but look up with surprise. There was a 15 or 16-year-old young monk standing in front of the stall, glancing at the price tag before stopping.

  "Can you give me a discount?"

  Ye Chen nodded slightly.

  He was originally looking for cheaper magic manuals. The prices of the magic manuals on this stall were not lower than those of other vendors. He stopped at this small stall because he thought of his previous predicament, where three black spirit mushrooms couldn't be sold in half a day.

  "I can give you a discount. This 'Fireball Technique' originally costs 10 spirit stones, I'll sell it to you for 9. This 'Wind Control Technique' originally costs 20 spirit stones, I'll sell it to you for 18. And these two, 'Fire Eye' and 'Earth Thorn', I can also give you a discount on them. Which one do you want?"

  The girl nodded hastily, she had been guarding the stall for a long time and was impatient, so it's better to sell it cheaper and sooner.

  "Fireball Technique", "Wind Control Technique"!

  Ye Chen took out 27 pieces of Ling Stone from his bosom and bought two volumes of spells.

  "Deal, take good care of the two volumes of secret skills! If you need any other secret skills, you can find me! My name is Yun Xin, I live on this street, my family runs a secret skill shop, and I often come here to set up a stall and earn some small money."

  The girl happily received twenty-seven pieces of spiritual stones.

  "Oh."

  Ye Chen nodded indifferently.

  He took over two volumes of secret books.

  The spellbook seems to be made of some special material, with a cover that is an icy hard shell.

  Ye Chen picked up one of the "Fireball Techniques" and flipped through it, only to find that there was no text inside. There was only a small fireball-shaped pattern, emitting a faint glow, mysterious and dazzling.

  "Why isn't it written? There's just a pattern, how can we learn from this?"

  Ye Chen was suddenly stunned.

  He practiced martial arts in the Wu State, and those secret manuals were all written in text. He had always thought that the spellbooks of the Xianxia world were also textual. But the small pattern in front of him left him stunned.

  "Didn't any of your family elders teach you how to learn magic? ...... You're not new to Xianyuan City, are you?"

  The girl was also surprised.

  "I'm from a small country in Yunzhou, I haven't been in Xiancheng for long."

  Ye Chen nodded.

  "So you don't understand anything, a true newcomer to the cultivation world is even newer than me, Cloud Joy. I've at least learned one spell. Never mind, I'll teach you. This secret manual contains 'Fa Yin', just press your hand on it and you're done, it's very convenient to learn. Give it a try!"

  The girl looks very happy.

  Ye Chen hesitated for a moment. He knew nothing about the thing in his hand and was worried that he might be deceived. However, this was Xiancheng Avenue, where people came and went, and it shouldn't be possible to commit robbery or murder in broad daylight. The girl in front of him looked innocent and didn't seem like a swindler.

  Ye Chen took a deep breath and pressed his hand on the "Fireball Technique" manual.

  A small fireball 'Seal' appeared on the secret book, forming a faint ball of light that flew out from within.

  The Huo Qiu manual is empty and contains nothing.

  Ye Chen looked at this scene in surprise.

  A small fireball flashed and suddenly shot towards Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen was shocked, it happened too fast, he didn't have time to dodge, that small fireball 'Fa Yin' swooped into his body and disappeared. Ye Chen looked down at his chest, there were no marks.

  "Alright, take a look at your Yuanshen! This Fa Yin is right next to your Yuanshen. As long as you comprehend this Fa Yin, you'll be able to release small fireballs."

  The girl smiled.

  Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat as he heard the words, and he looked towards his primordial spirit inside his Mud Ball Palace. He saw that beside his primordial spirit, there was an additional small fireball seal. His divine sense stirred slightly, and he felt the mysterious power contained within the small fireball.

  Ye Chen's heart was racing with excitement.

  It seems like I've mastered this fireball spell.

  Having learned magic, he can now be considered a true cultivator. Otherwise, he would only know the "Tiger Leaping Knife Method" and wouldn't be much different from an ordinary warrior.

  Ye Chen didn't dare release small fireballs on this main street, in case the patrol team of Xian City misunderstood and things turned out badly.

  "Thank you for your advice!"

  Ye Chen hastily thanked the young girl and turned to leave, his mind eager to try out his newly learned magic. He thought about where he could go to test its power, but the city was probably not a good idea, and as for outside the city...he didn't know if it was safe.

  "Hey, wait! I haven't finished speaking yet."

  Yun Xin saw Ye Chen was about to leave, so she quickly packed up her stall and didn't sell the remaining two secret books either. She shouted loudly.

  "What's wrong?"

  Ye Chen turned back in puzzlement.

  "You're a newcomer to Xian City, you don't understand anything. Since you bought my secret manual, I'll teach you how to cultivate. Follow me, I'll take you to a cultivation site in the city. That place is specifically for cultivators to practice their magic, and many people cultivate there."

  Yun Xin smiled and said.

  "Alright then, I was worried about where to go for training! Where is that training ground located in the city?"

  Ye Chen nodded.

  "It's just nearby, next to my family's secret recipe shop. Ah, what's your name again?"

  Yun Xin Road.

  "My name is Ye Chen!"

  The place was very close, and Yunxin and Yechen arrived at the end of the street, in front of a courtyard.

  Many law explosions sounded from within the courtyard.

  Ye Chen took a look and saw a sign next to the small courtyard, "Yun's Cultivation Grounds". He couldn't help but be surprised, "Yun? Is this your family's?"

  "Exactly! This is the Yun family's business. My family mainly deals with spellbooks, and this training ground was opened for the convenience of cultivators to practice their spells."

  Yun Xin nodded quickly and said.

  There is an old man in a long gown guarding the entrance of this cultivation courtyard.

  Yun Xin directly took Ye Chen into the courtyard.

  "Xin'er, who is this...?"

  The old man glanced at Ye Chen who came in afterwards and asked with a smile.

  "Uncle Wu, this is a friend I just met, from a small country in Yunzhou. He just bought two of my secret manuals. This month's venue fee for him will be waived!"

  Yun Xin smiled and said.

  "Alright, since it's Xin'er who brought you, we'll waive the venue fee for a month. Young man, go ahead and enter!"

  The old man looked at Ye Chen again and saw that although he was a cultivator, he still wore the clothes of a warrior. He slightly furrowed his brow, almost imperceptibly.

  The old man let Ye Chen enter the courtyard, but then called out to Yun Xin, saying somewhat seriously, "Xin'er, young cultivators like this are mostly coincidental encounters who entered the Immortal City by chance. They have no family background or foundation, and will spend their lives in mediocrity. He bought your secret manual, probably looking for an opportunity to get close to you. I've seen many people like him, Fifth Uncle. You're a young lady from the Cloud family after all, it's better if you don't associate with ordinary cultivators like this."

  "Bring a friend to the training ground, you have to recite it all, my ears are already numb. Fifth Uncle, you go ahead and busy yourself, I'll go greet my friend first."

  The girl pouted and quickly walked into the courtyard.
