Chapter 2687: Breaking the Boundary Stone (Not Available Today)

During Wang Changsheng's Integration Ceremony, the Wang family only brought out one Heavenly Thunder Spirit Transformation Talisman to exchange for Dharma Idol materials. They wouldn't normally use it for exchange, as currently, only Wang Ruyan in the family can refine Heavenly Thunder Spirit Transformation Talismans.

With over four hundred Soul Transformation cultivators and dozens of Void Refinement cultivators in the family, the Heavenly Thunder Spirit Transformation Talismans are simply insufficient and are rarely sold externally.

Wang Dafei pondered for a moment, then agreed.

He still trusted the Wang family, believing they wouldn't resort to murder for a cultivation method.

"Thank you for your understanding, Fellow Daoist Wang."

Wang Yingjie expressed his thanks, then called Wang Yixin, instructing her to properly settle Wang Dafei.

Wang Yingjie called Wang Huayue and informed her of the situation.

"You personally take the jade slip, return to Qinglian Island, and seek the patriarch's instruction."

Wang Yingjie instructed that if Wang Dafei had asked for a sixth-tier elixir, a sixth-tier formation, a fifth-tier puppet beast, or a Sky-Treading Spirit Treasure, he could have made the decision. However, with countless eyes within the family watching the Heavenly Thunder Spirit Transformation Talisman, he couldn't make the call.

The family's treasure vault had limited stock; each one used meant one less, let alone using it to exchange for a cultivation method.

He couldn't prove the cultivation method was authentic, nor could Wang Dafei. Wang Dafei merely admitted to obtaining it from an ancient cultivator's immortal abode.

Different professions have their own specializations. The family had members specialized in studying cultivation methods and ancient texts. Professional matters should be handled by professionals, and Wang Yingjie, as an outsider, would not interfere.

"Understood, Father!"

Wang Huayue acknowledged, then turned and left.

Qinglian Island, Scripture Depository.

In a room, Wang Yifu sat amidst a mountain of books, with numerous ancient texts piled around him.

"It's wrong again, where's the problem?"

Wang Yifu muttered to himself, his brows tightly furrowed.

He took out a cyan communication disk from his sleeve, struck it with a spell, and said somewhat nervously, "Patriarch, is something the matter?"

He was worried Wang Moshan would inquire about his progress; he was under immense pressure.

Aside from cultivating, he spent most of his time deducing cultivation methods.

"I'm currently in the Scripture Depository. Ancestor Yingjie acquired a cultivation method, and I'm unsure if it's worth exchanging for. If it's convenient, please come out and take a look."

Wang Moshan said gently. He knew Wang Yifu was under great pressure and never rushed him.

"A cultivation method! Alright, I'll be right out."

Wang Yifu breathed a sigh of relief, put away the communication disk, then stood up and walked out.

Wang Chuanlin was reporting to Wang Moshan, who held a thick ancient text in his hands.

"There were many Integration cultivators from the same era as Heavenly Sea Divine Monarch. The more renowned ones include True Monarch Yushu, Grandmaster Fentian, Heavenly Wind Rogue Cultivator, and Eight Desolations Blade Venerable."

"True Monarch Yushu was proficient in the art of mechanisms and puppets. He had a reclusive personality and was born into a major immortal cultivation clan, but this clan has since vanished into the river of history."

"Grandmaster Fentian was a rogue cultivator. His fire-element divine abilities rarely met their match among cultivators of the same rank."

"Heavenly Wind Rogue Cultivator's escape speed was incredibly fast. He was proficient in various escape techniques and once faced a full encirclement by three Integration cultivators, yet still managed to retreat unscathed."

Wang Chuanlin spoke in great detail, matching the records in the ancient texts. Wang Moshan secretly nodded.

"Focus on Eight Desolations Blade Venerable. Tell me everything recorded about him."

Wang Moshan closed the ancient text and instructed.

"Eight Desolations Blade Venerable was a rogue cultivator. He was proficient in blade manipulation techniques and already renowned during the Core Formation stage. After advancing to the Integration stage, he founded a sect. However, Eight Desolations Blade Venerable later suddenly disappeared. The Eight Desolations Sect quickly declined, eventually vanishing into the river of history."

Wang Chuanlin relayed the information truthfully.

"Eight Desolations Blade Venerable! I just don't know if this cultivation method is fake. Yifu, take a look."

Wang Moshan took out a cyan jade slip and handed it to Wang Yifu.

Wang Yifu took the jade slip, swept it with his divine sense, and showed a thoughtful expression.

"Chuanlin, how many blade cultivation methods are there in the Scripture Depository?"

Wang Moshan asked casually.

"Currently, eighty-two blade cultivation methods have been recorded. The best one is the Blazing Heaven Blade Scripture. Most of the others can only be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul stage."

Wang Chuanlin replied truthfully. Deducing cultivation methods requires a large number of ancient texts for reference; otherwise, there would be no need to collect so many cultivation method texts.

Wang Yifu gathered the other library custodians to analyze it together. Most of them believed the cultivation method itself was fine, but couldn't say for sure about its subsequent stages.

"Your words are enough. Let's exchange with him then! Perhaps this cultivation method will allow us to cultivate an Integration-stage blade cultivator."

Wang Moshan said with a smile. There were many blade cultivators in the family, and Wang Qingfeng's cultivation was the highest among them.

"Chuanlin, you are diligent in your work, but don't neglect your cultivation. Cultivation is the foundation."

Wang Moshan gave a few instructions, then stood up and left.

Qinglian Valley, a three-story cyan pavilion.

In a guest room, Wang Dafei sat cross-legged on a cyan meditation cushion, resting with his eyes closed.

He suddenly opened his eyes, took out a cyan communication disk, struck it with a spell, and Wang Yingjie's voice sounded: "Fellow Daoist Wang, the higher-ups have agreed to exchange with you. I'm right outside."

Wang Dafei stood up and walked out, inviting Wang Yingjie into the room.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, we are willing to exchange with you, but we have a condition: you must not sell this cultivation method to any other individual or force."

Wang Yingjie said in a deep voice. Many years ago, Wang Xiangrong exchanged a fifth-tier puppet beast for a copy of the 'Myriad Wood Treasure Codex,' which was one of the Thousand Wood Sect's foundational cultivation methods. However, this cultivation method had been sold multiple times, its price naturally significantly reduced, and also related to the seller's cultivation level.

If a Soul Transformation cultivator were to sell the 'Eight Desolations Demon Slaying Spirit Severing Scripture,' they would at most receive a low-grade Sky-Treading Spirit Treasure and two bottles of fifth-tier elixirs. In the cultivation world, strength speaks; the higher one's cultivation, the stronger one's power, and the fairer the exchange.

Wang Dafei didn't hesitate at all and agreed.

"Here is the Heavenly Thunder Spirit Transformation Talisman. We are old friends, and we trust you. If you acquire good cultivation methods or other valuable items in the future, please prioritize our Wang family."

Wang Yingjie took out a golden jade box and handed it to Wang Dafei.

Wang Dafei opened the jade box to see a silver-glowing talisman inside, emitting astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations.

"A Heavenly Thunder Spirit Transformation Talisman!"

Wang Dafei's expression was excited. After a brief thought, he took out a cyan jade box, handed it to Wang Yingjie, and said, "This is a Boundary-Breaking Stone. If Fellow Daoist Wang is interested, I'll sell it to your Wang family."

"A Boundary-Breaking Stone!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Yingjie's eyes. This material was extremely rare. High-tier cultivators could use a Boundary-Breaking Stone to perform secret techniques and send their separated souls to lower realms.

There was a Boundary-Breaking Stone in the family's treasure vault, obtained from an ancient beast.

"Fellow Daoist Wang has quite the fortunate encounter!"

Wang Yingjie's face was filled with envy. He guessed this Boundary-Breaking Stone was obtained along with the 'Eight Desolations Demon Slaying Spirit Severing Scripture.'

"Fellow Daoist Wang misunderstands. I obtained this Boundary-Breaking Stone from a Lizardian. Unfortunately, the Lizardian's spirit core self-destructed, otherwise, I would have sold it to you."

Wang Dafei explained that he had destroyed the Lizardian's physical body at the time, and the Lizardian's spirit core had directly self-destructed, showing great fortitude.

Wang Yingjie was half-convinced, half-skeptical. He didn't dwell on it much. Materials like the Boundary-Breaking Stone were collected by all major forces. He exchanged a fifth-tier puppet beast and a bottle of Azure Marrow Elixir for this Boundary-Breaking Stone.
