Chapter 39: Purchasing
Li Shiming had about one hundred and ninety-two spirit stones that he could use, but he needed to save some for cultivation next month.
He approached a book stall with a sign that read ’Zhang’.
"You can only flip through one page here, turning an extra page means you have to buy it at its price!" Mr. Zhang, the stall owner, had seen Li Shiming’s transaction with Mr. Liu and knew he was a potential customer. As soon as Li Shiming stopped at his stall, he immediately said.
Li Shiming picked up a book titled "Light Body Technique" and flipped open the first page, which contained only an introduction to the "Light Body Technique" and no substantial content.
The ’Light Body Technique’ was described as a general spell in the introduction on the first page.
Li Shiming did not know the specific meaning of a general spell, but since it was labeled as such, it likely meant that it was a spell that all cultivators could learn.
He placed the ’Light Body Technique’ to one side and browsed through a few other books, "Fire Bomb Skill", "Object Driving Skill", "Voice Transmission Skill", and "Freezing Skill".
"Mr. Zhang, how much for the ’Light Body Technique’?" Li Shiming asked, pointing to the book beside him.
"All the secret texts here are ten spirit stones each!" replied Mr. Zhang gravely.
Li Shiming figured in his mind that none of the books were cultivation techniques, all were spellbooks, and if they were openly for sale, they wouldn’t be any powerful spells.
Such books at a rate of ten spirit stones each, the equivalent of ten jin of Spirit Rice, were not that expensive for him.
But he knew very well that he couldn’t show any sign of wealth; this was not the ordinary world, but the Cultivation World.
