After searching the black-clothed man's belongings, Zhao Letian suppressed the injuries within his body and headed straight for the Zhao Mansion. The power of True Yuan was not to be underestimated; the palm strike he had just received had damaged his internal organs, and he must consume some elixirs and recuperate after returning.

At this moment, the passersby on the street had just reacted, realizing that someone from the True Martial Realm had just attempted to assassinate the Zhao Family's prodigy, Zhao Letian. Yet astonishingly, that True Martial Realm expert was killed by Zhao Letian, who was only in the Primordial Martial Realm. Soon, this news would spread throughout Qingzhou City, and with a Primordial Martial cultivation, defeating someone from the True Martial Realm would become another glorious feat in Zhao Letian's reputation, sung by all.

Not long after, Zhao Letian hurried back to his private courtyard and immediately consumed the elixir given by his mother, sitting down to meditate and regulate his breath.

Time quietly passed, and before he knew it, night had fallen. The night sky was dotted with stars, and under their light, Qingzhou City took on a simple and quiet charm.

Zhao Letian remained in seclusion for an entire day in the courtyard before he once again left the Zhao Mansion.

However, this time, he did not head directly to the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower but to a deserted alley. He then shook his mighty frame, and a series of bone-cracking sounds could be heard from within his body as he swiftly grew taller. His appearance also distorted, and he even grew a dense beard. In no time, he had forcefully transformed into a robust, resolute-faced strong man.

"Truly a brilliant secret technique from inherited memories, no one will recognize me in this disguise," Zhao Letian touched his beard, pleased with himself as he smiled and then made his way toward the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower.

In fact, he had completely healed his injuries in just one morning. In the afternoon, he casually selected a Disguise Technique from the legacy memories and, after repeated exploration and mastering it thoroughly, left the Zhao Mansion.

Of course, before leaving, he had selected a Cultivation Technique he intended to sell from the legacy memories and transcribed it.

Zhao Letian soon arrived at the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower and went directly to the second floor. The attendant at the stair entrance, recognizing Zhao Letian's extraordinary aura and unable to discern his cultivation level, dared not stop him, even welcoming him with a beaming smile.

"Esteemed senior, welcome to the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower. May I inquire what you need?" A maid of considerable beauty approached with a smile as Zhao Letian reached the top floor. She could not perceive his cultivation level and naturally treated Zhao Letian as a senior from the True Martial Realm.

"Have her serve me," said Zhao Letian, ignoring the maid and instead directing his gaze to Ji Hongling in the distance.

"Why is it always Ji Hongling? She just took a big commission this morning, worth ten Mid-Grade Essence Stones, and now this senior is asking for her explicitly; does he leave any opportunities for us at all?" The maid frowned, her gaze towards Ji Hongling filled with envy and jealousy. However, she could not refuse the guest's request, so she reluctantly called Ji Hongling over.

"Senior specifically requesting for Hongling to serve is an honor for me. May I ask what you need?" Ji Hongling curtsied with a smile, her gratitude evident. Each completed transaction grants them a commission, and the guest requesting her meant looking after her business, which she greatly appreciated.

"I have a Cultivation Technique I wish to sell," said Zhao Letian straightforwardly. Your support at * keeps the series going.

"Selling a Cultivation Technique?" Ji Hongling was taken aback, and her expression immediately turned solemn. She was well aware that even a Yellow Level Cultivation Technique was significant, and this transaction was crucial and must be conducted smoothly.

Meanwhile, the maid who had just walked away couldn't help but stop in her tracks, turn around, and look at Zhao Letian in shock, full of regret. If she had known how significant this transaction was, she would not have easily given it up to Ji Hongling, even if it meant sacrificing her dignity to serve this senior.

"Senior, may I ask what level the Cultivation Technique you wish to sell is? Could you please show a portion of it for appraisal?" asked Ji Hongling.

"Of course. This Cultivation Technique is a top-quality among the Yellow Level High Stage, named 'Ferocious Python Transformation'. It is especially suitable for those with a snake-type Beast Martial Soul. Here is the beginning part of it; feel free to take it for appraisal," Zhao Letian said as he took out a sheet of paper from his bosom and handed it to Ji Hongling.

"Senior, please sit down and have a cup of tea. It will be just a moment; Hongling will be back soon." Ji Hongling took the paper and gave it a cursory glance, feeling that the contents written on it were very profound, and might even be more advanced than the cultivation technique she was practicing. However, whether it was truly a Yellow Level High Stage technique would still need to be verified by the dedicated appraiser at the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower.

"No need, just make it quick. I'd also like to buy some things afterward," Zhao Letian said nonchalantly.

"Understood, Senior. I'll get right on it." Ji Hongling's eyes brightened up. The fact that this senior would be purchasing more items later meant another transaction would take place. If she could successfully close this deal, she wouldn't have to worry about Primordial Stones for quite some time.

Watching Ji Hongling hastily leave, a subtle, almost imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Letian's mouth. He himself did not know why he offered to help Ji Hongling—perhaps he simply didn't find the girl disagreeable. In this place where nearly everyone seemed eager to humiliate him, meeting someone who wasn't unpleasant felt rare indeed.

Deep within the second floor, in a secret room, Ji Hongling stood in front of an elderly man with white hair, showing great reverence. The old man not only possessed cultivation in the True Martial Realm, but his status was also lofty, far beyond what a maid like Ji Hongling could compare with.

"That's correct, this is unquestionably a Yellow Level High Stage Cultivation Technique, and as the other party mentioned, in the hands of a Martial Artist with a Snake-type Beast Martial Soul, the value of this technique could almost rival that of a Dark Level technique," said the white-haired elder as he examined the paper laid out on the table, nodding solemnly.

"Elder Ren, how much would this technique be worth in Primordial Stones?" Ji Hongling asked eagerly.

"If it was a common Yellow Level High Stage technique, one hundred Mid-Grade Essence Stones would suffice. This technique's worth could at least double. Offer him two hundred Mid-Grade Essence Stones," the white-haired elder said confidently, handing the paper back to Ji Hongling.

"Two hundred Mid-Grade Essence Stones?" Ji Hongling gasped, her beautiful eyes blazing with excitement. Even though she had mentally prepared herself, the actual value of the technique still exceeded her expectations.

"Go on, be careful in dealing with this esteemed guest. His cultivation is somewhat peculiar; even our Ten Thousand Treasure Tower's secretly protecting True Martial Realm experts can't see through him. His background is probably not simple; just complete the transaction smoothly, no need for any further thoughts to avoid provoking him," the white-haired elder cautioned solemnly.

"Yes, Elder Ren, Hongling understands." Ji Hongling nodded and then turned to leave, the senior she was dealing with was like a god of wealth to her—one she wouldn't dream of offending carelessly.

"You all heard my words, too, right? What I just said is mainly directed at you. After completing the transaction, let the person leave peacefully. Do not follow or track them. Anyone who can offer up a Yellow Level High Stage technique for trade has an intriguing background, but as the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower is in a crucial period of growth and expansion, we must not casually provoke unnecessary trouble," the white-haired elder muttered to himself after Ji Hongling had left.

"Understood!" came a sudden response from a corner in the shadows.

"Senior, your technique has been appraised. Our Tower is willing to purchase it for two hundred Mid-Grade Essence Stones. How does that sound to you?" Ji Hongling said upon her return, handing the paper back to Zhao Letian.

"Two hundred Mid-Grade Essence Stones? That's acceptable," Zhao Letian's heart trembled, even he was startled by the large sum—it was much more than he had anticipated. But to not give himself away, he maintained composure and nodded.

"Does the senior wish to exchange for the Essence Stones now, or would you prefer to settle everything after purchasing other items?" Ji Hongling followed up, not forgetting that the senior had mentioned buying more items.

"Let's settle everything after buying the rest. Show me what other fine items you have here," Zhao Letian said indifferently.

"Of course, Senior. Please follow me." Ji Hongling spoke warmly.

Afterward, Zhao Letian, accompanied by the charming beauty Ji Hongling, enjoyed a leisurely tour of the treasures on the second floor.
