Jun Changxiao only cultivated for one night, and although he couldn’t jump from the training room to the main hall, it was enough to prove that the Cloud Stepping technique purchased from the shop was far superior to the Ghost Shadow Step!

“The Sect Leader must have been using a movement technique!”

“He ran so gracefully.”

“It felt like he was flying!”

After morning exercises, the disciples discussed the scene of their Sect Leader performing parkour on the outer courtyard rooftops, their eyes full of admiration and envy.

There was no need to envy anymore.

Because once Sect Leader Jun’s face stopped hurting, he walked out of the main hall and distributed the Cloud Stepping technique and Sound Transmission technique.

The disciples who received these two techniques were all excited and thrilled!

“Thank you, Sect Leader!”

Everyone shouted in unison.

With this, the Iron Bones Clanging Sect now had an additional movement technique and a spiritual technique in its repertoire, making it even more comprehensive.

As techniques from the shop, once disciples learned them, they would naturally be restricted—whether they betrayed the sect, were expelled, or anything else, all memories would be stripped away.

It was precisely this restriction that allowed Jun Changxiao to unscrupulously copy them and distribute them unconditionally to disciples for cultivation.

Ye Xingchen also received the techniques.

Opening the Cloud Stepping manual and seeing that its quality was merely upper-grade initial tier, disdain immediately surfaced in his brows.

Hmm.

After briefly comprehending it, he exclaimed in shock: “This movement technique is even stronger than the Ferry Step Wandering Dragon I’ve been cultivating!”

Whether goods are good or not, you must compare them.

Our Lord Ye could make this judgment just from the incantations and steps alone.

As for the Sound Transmission technique, he was even more shocked!

Upon entering the Wuwang realm, one would condense spiritual thoughts and could transmit sound at the soul level, but being able to achieve this in advance through a technique was somewhat terrifying!

“Incredible, incredible!”

Because Lord Ye had once been a Wudi, after learning of the Sound Transmission technique’s effects, he was more shocked than the other disciples.

Stay calm and cultivate!

…

Because the Sect Leader had distributed two techniques, the Iron Bones Clanging Sect disciples temporarily gave up going to the Tempering Tower to train, instead devoting their full attention to cultivating martial techniques.

Several days later.

Pulling the camera upward and then looking down, one could see disciples on the outer courtyard rooftops displaying the Cloud Stepping technique, gracefully jumping back and forth.

Su Xiaomo and Li Fei, who both had excellent talent in movement techniques, comprehended it after three to five days and could even jump from the training room to the main hall.

“Ahhh!”

Li Shangtian also jumped over, but failed to succeed. Screaming from midair, he crashed into a pillar of the main hall, then fell headfirst.

After some deliberation, the members of the Drizzle Hall abandoned the Ghost Shadow Step and began cultivating the Cloud Stepping technique.

“Sect Leader.”

Li Luoqiu smiled and said, “This movement technique of yours is completely tailor-made for my Drizzle Hall.”

“What about the Sound Transmission technique?” Jun Changxiao asked.

“Also.”

Li Luoqiu stood on a rock behind the mountain, murmuring in her heart.

She had already cultivated the Sound Transmission technique successfully. Although she had just gotten started, she could already communicate with Jun Changxiao in the main hall.

This was only a few hundred zhang away.

As her comprehension deepened, the distance would surely increase.

Eventually, one could stand in the sect and another in Qingyang City, and they would still be able to communicate spiritually.

Cloud Stepping technique, Sound Transmission technique.

These two techniques were absolutely tailor-made for the members of Drizzle Hall. In the future, their movements would be faster and their communications more convenient.

The usefulness of the Sound Transmission technique was also being experienced in daily life.

For example.

“Senior Brother, let’s go to the dining hall together to eat.”

“Wait a moment, I’m changing clothes.”

Two disciples, one in the outer courtyard and one in the inner courtyard, were communicating through sound transmission.

“Junior Brother Ye, do you want to go to the Tempering Tower to train together?” Xiao Zuiji was also communicating with Ye Xingchen using the Sound Transmission technique.

After a while.

Lord Ye replied: “Go.”

“Sect Leader, Senior Brothers, Junior Brothers, it’s time to eat!”

Liu Wanshi directly made a group call on the spiritual level, completely eliminating the need to stand at the entrance shouting every day.

With the Sound Transmission technique, the Iron Bones Clanging Sect disciples could communicate more conveniently in daily life.

“Have the Drizzle Hall members focus on cultivation, striving to achieve instant sound transmission in any area of Qingyang Commandery,” Jun Changxiao said.

The true value of the Sound Transmission technique could only be perfectly demonstrated in transmitting intelligence.

Li Luoqiu said, “It should be achievable in about a month.”

“Mm.”

Jun Changxiao nodded, then handed the sect affairs over to her and set out for Huyang City.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Deploying the Cloud Stepping technique, Sect Leader Jun flew through the wilderness, occasionally leaping up from towering trees and jumping diagonally toward another tree dozens of zhang away.

Twenty minutes later.

Jun Changxiao stopped at the city gate of Huyang City.

Previously when coming to Huyang City, relying on the Ghost Shadow Step required thirty to forty minutes.

You must know.

Relying on the Talisman of Insight, Jun Changxiao’s understanding of the Ghost Shadow Step was at its peak, while he had only been cultivating the Cloud Stepping technique for four or five days—still far from reaching its peak.

…

Ai Family Medicinal Shop.

Ai Shangke hurried over and cupped his fists, saying, “Sect Leader Jun honors us with a visit. My failure to welcome you from afar—please forgive me.”

With the family head gone to Lingyang Commandery, Ai Shangke was temporarily managing all Ai Family affairs.

Every time he saw Jun Changxiao, Ai Shangke felt emotional, because before they established their cooperative relationship, they had had a conflict.

He often pondered: if he had lost to him back then and, feeling indignant, brought family members to continue making trouble and escalated the conflict, what would the situation be now?

Thinking of the Lingquan Sect’s ending and the Haoqi Gate’s crushing defeat.

The conclusion Ai Shangke reached was that the family would either have suffered great damage, or perhaps… been annihilated!

“Elder Ai.”

Jun Changxiao handed over a medicinal ingredient list, saying, “Does your shop have these materials in stock?”

Ai Shangke took it and carefully looked it over, saying gravely, “Sect Leader Jun, these eight medicinal ingredients are all high-grade materials—the price is not cheap.”

“Money is not a problem,” Jun Changxiao said.

Ai Shangke said, “Sect Leader Jun, please wait a moment. I’ll have Shopkeeper Ma check how many of these ingredients we have in inventory.”

“Eight ingredients make one set.”

“Understood.”

Before long.

Ai Shangke returned, saying, “After taking inventory, Sect Leader Jun, for these eight ingredients, the Ai Family can currently only gather twenty complete sets.”

Twenty sets were few, but better than none.

Jun Changxiao asked, “How much?”

“Twenty sets of ingredients require two hundred thousand taels,” Ai Shangke said.

Jun Changxiao said in astonishment, “That expensive?”

Initial-grade healing pill ingredients cost only a few hundred taels per set, while middle-grade healing pill ingredients cost ten thousand taels per set—the gap was truly too large.

The system said, “Can pills that treat Open Meridian Wutu be compared to pills that treat Wushi and Wuzong?”

“Can’t compare.”

“Then isn’t it right that they’re this much more expensive?”

That made a lot of sense!

Jun Changxiao said, “Elder Ai, I’ll take all twenty sets of ingredients. Let’s sign a purchase contract.”

“Good.”

They drafted a purchase agreement and signed and sealed it.

“Farewell.”

After obtaining what he wanted, Jun Changxiao returned to the sect.

What left him speechless was that from the moment he left Huyang City, he began refining middle-grade healing pills, and it wasn’t until the next day that he finished refining all twenty pills.

“Just changing from initial-grade to middle-grade takes so much time to refine.”

Taking out the larger healing pills, Jun Changxiao murmured, “If I took these things to market to sell, they should fetch at least three to five million taels, right?”
