Chapter 243: No Regrets for This Trip

After sending off Niutou Laoge, Jiang Cheng felt even better.

He was originally still wondering how to obtain the other Heaven Martial the former held, since it was a leg-type Heaven Martial, different in acupoint type from weapon-type Heaven Martial, and its stacked effect was the strongest.

He hadn't even thought about it, and the other side showed up on its own.

"But completing the Lotus Visualization Method isn't an easy task either."

The next moment, Jiang Cheng shook his head silently.

Just the completion process alone would probably cost tens of millions.

Enough to buy dozens of Lotus Visualization Methods.

Fortunately, completing the visualization method isn't the goal; boosting Spiritual Power is.

Refining the Lotus Visualization Method to perfection not only lets one become a Level 3 Spirit Mind Practitioner, but also can break through to Force Master within a month.

That is the most important part.

Not long after sending off the Niutou Mianju, a knock sounded at the door again.

Jiang Cheng opened the door, and it was the Xiaolian Mianju that had left earlier.

This time, the opponent held a scroll in his hand.

"Come in."

The man smiled and said.

After the two entered the room, the man unfurled the scroll.

The scroll depicted a lotus, elegant and upright, pink and white intermingled, its emerald‑green leaves like a jade platter, the blossom fully open, petals layered delicately like silk.

Jiang Cheng looked at this Visualization Diagram.

He could feel his Spiritual Power in his mind continuously draining.

A thought flickered, and a Panel appeared before him.

【Lotus Visualization Method Experience Value +2】

【Lotus Visualization Method Experience Value +2】

……

Every second, a message pops up.

"How's that, genuine and worth the price, right?"

The smiling man asked.

"Mm."

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and nodded.

The previous Lotus Leaf Visualization Diagram required staring at it for five consecutive seconds to gain a bit of experience.

But this Lotus Visualization Diagram only needs one second to add 2 points, a difference of nearly tenfold.

Obviously, this is the real deal.

"This is what I bought when I first cultivated the Lotus Visualization Method, of course it's genuine."

"Since there's no issue with the scroll, let's begin exchanging Secret Martial Arts. I believe after our previous interaction you already know I can tell if you're lying, so I hope that during the upcoming process such a situation won't arise; otherwise, I will cancel the deal at any time."

"I won't lie, but I hope you can do the same."

Jiang Cheng looked into his eyes.

"Hehe."

He smiled faintly.

He thought, even if I lie, how could this person tell?

But indeed there's no need; it's just a crappy Earth Martial.

Time passed slowly.

Jiang Cheng looked at the Panel.

A new Secret Martial Arts called Cloud‑Piercing Leg appeared on it.

This leg technique excels in agility, has 40 acupoints, suitable for those with a foundation—such as Level 1‑2 Force Warriors—who will progress much faster; ordinary people, however, shouldn't choose it as an Entry cultivation method.

For Entry, one needs to open 5 acupoints to become a Level 3 Force Warrior, which is almost half the requirement of the Breaking Jade Technique.

Because legs are naturally stronger than arms, an ordinary person's maximum fist force is only 100 kg, but using legs can easily produce three times that—300 kg of burst power; even with fewer acupoints opened, the boost is no less than that of a Human Weapon who opens arm acupoints.

Those who cultivate leg Secret Martial Arts, when testing fist force under normal fist technique conditions, will strike the testing device with a leg and then divide the result by three.

Of course, there's another point.

If one has a foundation—e. g., a Force Warrior who has broken through to Level 2 by practicing fist‑type Secret Martial Arts—and then takes Cloud‑Piercing Leg as Entry, their innate strength level is not just the low end of Level 3 but the upper tier of Level 3, close to Level 4. Because one has opened arm acupoints and the other opens leg acupoints, the improvement is more pronounced.

If one has two fist techniques or two leg techniques of the same grade, many acupoints overlap, and the boost shrinks considerably.

Opening the subsequent six acupoints makes one a Level 4 Force Warrior.

Opening seven more (total 18) yields a Level 5 Force Warrior, the usual cap for a Human Weapon.

Opening nine additional acupoints makes one a Level 6 Force Warrior.

Opening the final 13 acupoints grants Level 7 Force Warrior.

"After returning, you can try practicing this Secret Martial Arts."

Jiang Cheng thought to himself.

In at most two or three more days, he could perfect the Seven Star Palm.

Then cultivating the other two Human Weapons in his hands would be even faster.

After reaching Level 6, further cultivating this Earth Martial might raise the cap beyond Level 7, perhaps close to Level 8? After all, his legs have not opened any acupoint yet.

At that moment, the smiling man opposite slowly spoke.

"Your Entry chapter of this Heaven Martial looks fine, actually."

Jiang Cheng came to his senses, looked at him and said, "My Heaven Martial is genuine; no need to worry that practicing it will cause problems."

"Is that so."

The man laughed heartily. Introductory Chapter, he can still barely understand it; the later parts are also clouded in mist—who knows what's true or false? Especially since these words come from a Spiritual Thought Master who hasn't even reached Level One.

"Next."

He handed the scroll in his hand to Jiang Cheng.

"I'm leaving, no need to see me off."

After speaking, he stood up and walked toward the door.

He even thoughtfully shut the door.

Jiang Cheng looked at the scroll in his hand and smiled.

"A trip not in vain."

What I wanted is basically already in my possession.

Even if from now on no one comes to trade, there will be no regrets.

Perhaps it truly is a prophecy; after the smiling man left, with the Auction at seven about to commence, indeed no one came to knock.

Jiang Cheng glanced at the time.

Ten minutes left, the Spiritual Thought Master special Auction is about to start.

Even if he has little money and can't buy much, he still has to go.

Because the one who previously visited his door needs his attitude.

Moreover, he is also very interested in the group chat the other party set up.

Just as this time he obtained the Lotus Visualization Diagram from the smiling man, next time he can use something else for exchange, obtain other Visualization Method diagrams from others, borrowing is also fine.

He arrived at the venue.

Compared with the later session, this one had far fewer attendees; counting everyone, still less than twenty people.

Strangely, these twenty people were split into two sides.

On the left sat four or five people.

On the right sat more than ten.

The two sides stared at each other; in the air seemed to be a whiff of gunpowder.

His arrival broke this calm.

With a flash, a dozen pairs of eyes turned toward him.

Jiang Cheng's gaze shifted to the right.

Among them were several acquaintances.

For example, the man who first visited his door, the later door‑opening trading Juanfa Nu, and the smiling man were all present.

He walked over silently.
