105: The body can't stand it

Buying it back for eighty-eight, returning two hundred Spirit Stones! A huge profit!

Thinking of this, Mo Fan immediately focused his mind, preparing to cast an Appraisal Technique on it.

However, soon after, his brows furrowed, and his face darkened immediately.

He didn't even bother to cast the Appraisal Technique and turned around to leave immediately.

It was only after getting a bit closer that he realized.

This damned seven star vine was actually pieced together from several segments!

The seven star vine and the three star vine looked extremely similar; if you didn't look closely, you really couldn't tell the difference!

Mo Fan rolled his eyes.

So this guy was taking him for a fool?

The three star vine and the seven star vine looked similar, and their names only differed by one character.

However, the price difference was worlds apart.

This three star vine thing would sell for at most two or three Spirit Stones.

While the seven star vine was a Rank 4 Spirit Medicine, worth two hundred Spirit Stones!

Shaking his head, Mo Fan suppressed the urge to hit someone and quickened his pace.

"Hey, Junior Brother, don't leave. If you don't like this one, I have others. I have everything you want; I can definitely satisfy you!"

Seeing Mo Fan about to leave, the thin man became anxious and shouted quickly, attracting many strange looks.

"Holy crap!" Mo Fan's fists clenched.

I want Western ones; you definitely don't have those!

However, after walking only a few steps, Mo Fan froze, as if he had thought of something, and then quickly turned back.

Seeing this, the thin man looked happy and quickly said:

"Junior Brother really has an eye for things! It looks like we are fated! How about this! I'll sell you this seven star vine for fifty Spirit Stones!"

Mo Fan didn't speak, simply extending three fingers.

"Thirty?" The man hesitated. "That's a bit too little..."

Mo Fan shook his head: "I mean, three Spirit Stones."

The man's face darkened, and he was about to lose his temper.

However, Mo Fan sneered and said:

"Selling a three star vine pieced together as a seven star vine, you're quite the talent. Do you really take everyone for blind?"

"Heh, this is illegal fraud. I think I can take you for a stroll to the Law Enforcement Hall."

Hearing this, the man froze, his expression panicked. Without a word, he turned around and prepared to run.

Seeing this, Mo Fan said unhurriedly:

"Wu Datong, 29 years old, Innate Fifth Rank cultivation, belonging to the Artifact Refining Hall."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Datong's steps faltered, and he turned around, his face deathly pale:

"Jun, Junior Brother, I was forced into this. Please don't report me. This vine was sold to me by a Senior Brother who scammed me out of one hundred Spirit Stones. I'm so miserable..."

"If I don't report you, should I wait for you to continue cheating people and harming other Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters?" Mo Fan looked at him expressionlessly.

"Bu, but, I, I..." Wu Datong panicked and started babbling incoherently.

Mo Fan looked at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, with an expression of unbearable pity, thinking to himself:

"Forget it. Considering you were also scammed, I'll buy this three star vine. It just so happens I need it for Alchemy recently.

"Are the other broken vine segments still here? I'll buy them all together so you don't go out and harm others."

"Then, the reporting..." Zhang Tong asked nervously.

"Let this be the only time; be a better person!" Mo Fan said.

"Thank you, Junior Brother!" Hearing this, Zhang Tong was overjoyed and immediately shoved the green vine into Mo Fan's hand, saying quickly:

"If you can use it, Junior Brother, just take it. No need to pay. However, there are no other broken vine segments left!

"These were left over from a familiar Senior Brother's Alchemy, and I just happened to take... ah, nothing!"

Realizing he had let something slip, Zhang Tong quickly shut his mouth.

After shoving the green vine into Mo Fan's hand, Zhang Tong turned around and prepared to leave.

Mo Fan grabbed him, took out three Spirit Stones, and shoved them into his hand, saying firmly: "I will not take advantage of you."

"Wuwuwu, Junior Brother, you're so kind!" Zhang Tong was moved to tears. Holding the Spirit Stones, he ran away, looking back every three steps.

After running far away, he turned back and shouted:

"Actually, I lied to you just now. I pieced this green vine together myself. No one cheated me. I am guilty!

"I, Zhang Tong, swear that I will never cheat people again!"

Mo Fan: "..."

After Zhang Tong walked away, Mo Fan cast an Appraisal Technique on one of the green vine segments.

[seven star vine, Rank 4 Spirit Medicine, matures only after a hundred years of growth, possesses the efficacy of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the origin.]

This was a real seven star vine.

No, it was a segment.

Of course, even if it was just one segment, it didn't affect its efficacy; it could still be used for Alchemy, although the price might be a bit lower.

"Which idiot used a seven star vine as a three star vine for Alchemy?

"I wonder if they blew up their furnace..."

Mo Fan complained while laughing.

"Now that I have both the kongming grass and the seven star vine, how much reward will Li Xinghe give me?

"Even if it's just a broken vine segment, it shouldn't affect its use, right?

"He shouldn't give less; at least three hundred Spirit Stones should be expected!

"Adding the three hundred plus Spirit Stones from the stall earlier...

"Sss! I'm rich!

"Once I get all the Spirit Medicine earned this time, I'll add points again, and have a blast adding them all at once!"

Mo Fan was overjoyed, carrying the sack, and went home happily.

...

The next day.

Mo Fan woke up from his dream full of energy.

He had stayed at the Innate Second Rank for half a month.

Mo Fan's cultivation was basically consolidated, his combat power had been greatly improved, and he was no longer weaker than the Red-Clothed Female Ghost.

In the last few days, his sleep quality had been very good.

Of course, he was about to add points again soon.

At that time, it would be another cycle of being abused.

This was also one of the reasons why Mo Fan delayed adding points.

However, in order to become stronger, he was still willing to endure this bit of pain.

Isn't it just being beaten by the Red-Clothed Female Ghost in his dreams?

What's the big deal!

Once I am truly invincible!

I'll pay it all back!

Thinking this, Mo Fan climbed out of bed to wash up.

Afterward, he Cultivated the Golden Body Art facing the rising sun.

A quarter of an hour later, he glanced at the attribute panel and locked his gaze on the Martial Skill column.

[Martial Skill: Vajra Fist - Innate Chapter, Golden Body Art (First Layer)]

The Golden Body Art was still at the first layer; it seemed it hadn't improved for a long time.

Even during those half a month at Huilong Mountain, Mo Fan had never interrupted his Cultivation of the Golden Body Art.

Moreover, when Cultivating the Golden Body Art, he could indeed perceive that he was clearly becoming stronger.

Even so, he remained at the first layer, and there didn't seem to be any changes in the short term.

Regarding this, Mo Fan was initially somewhat confused.

Logically, he had already completely comprehended the Golden Body Art, so the Martial Skill Rank should have soared directly to the last layer.

However, with the growth of his cultivation and the repeated tempering of the Golden Body Art, he gradually gained a clear understanding.

This Body Tempering thing could not happen overnight.

Even the most powerful Cultivation Technique was the same.

Even though Mo Fan had completely comprehended the Golden Body Art, it was impossible to break through to the last layer all at once and become directly invincible.

Because his body could not withstand it.

Let alone the last layer.

If he dared to forcibly break through to the second layer now, his body would directly crack open.

To break through, he could only slowly Cultivate the Golden Body Art, constantly tempering, and making himself stronger.

After he became stronger, he would feed it back to the Golden Body Art, continue tempering, and become even stronger, repeating this cycle.

When reaching a certain degree, the Golden Body Art could break through, enter the next level, thereby developing the body's potential, and achieving a leap in the level of life.

Always repeating like this.

Until breaking through to the twelfth layer, which was the last layer, obtaining endless lifespan, and the great power to crush stars with one's palm.

This was a process of mutual interaction and mutual achievement; one could not be hasty.

Thinking of this, Mo Fan was no longer anxious.

The first layer of the Golden Body Art was currently enough for his use, enhancing his Physique by who knows how many times, allowing him to directly go head-to-head with a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with his Innate Second Rank cultivation body.

"According to the current trend, by the time my cultivation breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Golden Body Art should also be able to break through to the second layer.

"By then, even if I am just a beginner at Foundation Establishment, I might be invincible among those of the same Rank.

"At that time, going to challenge the Trial Tower again shouldn't be a problem.

"Once I pass the Trial Tower and become a Core Disciple, I will be able to obtain the qualification to enter the Secret Realm!"
