Spirit Dao Body

Two days later... 

Jun had used the [Random talent] function, and he acquired two mortal grade talents from it. 

[Artifact Forging apprentice (Mortal grade high-level): Artifact forging aptitude increases by three times. This talent grants you the ability to forge artifacts up to Earth grade high-level. Fatigue while forging artifacts decreases by 30%. (Price: 30 years of cultivation)]

[Spirit Dao Body (Mortal grade high-level): Spirit fusion aptitude increases by three times. This talent grants you the ability to fuse with the spirits of up to grade three spirit beasts. There's a small chance of gaining enlightenment in spirit cultivation. (Price: 40 years of cultivation)] 

Amongst the two talents, the first one was a somewhat ordinary talent, however, that wasn't the case for the second one. 

Among the thousands of methods of cultivation, Spirit cultivation was one of the best. It was a branch cultivation method of soul cultivation. 

Anyone who was considered a Spirit cultivator would be able to fuse with the spirits of Spirit beasts, gaining their racial abilities. 

In the myriad worlds, every race of the spirit beast had their own special racial abilities. Usually, no one else of a foreign race should be able to gain these abilities. 

Nevertheless, Spirit cultivators could easily bypass this restriction and gain the racial abilities of the spirit they had fused with. 

Of course, this method wasn't easy to cultivate since cultivators needed suitable aptitude as well as high soul strength in order to become spirit cultivators. 

That's why, Spirit cultivators were very rare. 

Jun was overjoyed after he acquired this talent. Jun had to already part ways with the previous [Sword Dao] talent. 

But, that wasn't the case this time. Even sword cultivators weren't a match for spirit cultivators of the same level. 

How could Jun not be tempted to use this talent scroll on himself? 

Without much thought, Jun sipped his tea calmly and sat on his recliner chair. 

"It looks like this will be my first talent." Jun chuckled. 

"I will use this one on myself," Jun muttered. 

The next second, a warm sensation enveloped his entire body. 

At this moment, he could feel changes not only in his soul but also in his body. 

After a while, Jun circulated Qi in his body and found out that his body had been strengthened by a small level. 

He immediately opened his status panel to check whether it was true. 

[Name: Wu Jun] 

[Cultivation: 3rd stage Qi Condensation Realm] 

[Insight: Excellent] 

[Constitution: Iron Physique] 

[Technique: Golden Turtle Cultivation Technique(Earth grade low-level)]

[Spiritual Root: Ice and Gold Elemental(Mortal grade mid-level)] 

[Talent: Spirit Dao Body(Mortal grade high-level)] 

Since Jun was the owner of the shop, he didn't need to pay with his cultivation to use these talent scrolls. 

Of course, in return, he won't be able to gain any tokens either. 

Also, it was much more profitable to sell these talents to others, which would bring him additional rewards. 

"Master, today's profits have been settled. Please check them." Hua Zhenyi said as she handed over a storage ring to Jun. 

After checking the storage ring, a smile appeared on Jun's face. 

"Not bad." He muttered. In a single day, he has actually acquired six hundred spirit stones, from selling talismans and battle arena. 

This much profit was no small amount. Nevertheless, it would also bring him some trouble later on. 

"Have Spirit Moon Cave closed or not?" Jun asked. 

"No, Spirit Moon Cave hasn't been closed yet. It should take another six to seven hours." Hua Zhenyi replied solemnly. 

Qi Baishi had joined the expedition to the Spirit Moon Cave. 

Although, Jun believed that with Qi Baishi's cautious personality, Qi Baishi should be fine. 

However, it would be too naive to think that nothing would happen to Qi Baishi especially after he has lost most of his cultivation. 

Suddenly, a system notification appeared, startling Jun. 

[Customer Qi Baishi has reached the first level of Beast taming.] 

[Host has been rewarded with the 'Frost Dragon Palm Technique'.] 

Qi Baishi has already become a beast tamer?

Jun was pleasantly surprised by this sudden notification. 

It hasn't been long since Qi Baishi bought the talent scroll from him. But, now he was already a beast tamer. 

Ding Xue had taken two months to become a talisman apprentice, unlike Qi Baishi. 

Maybe, it was because Qi Baishi had [Telepathy] and [Beast Connection] talent. It seemed like these two talents helped him greatly. 

Or maybe he had received some opportunity inside the Spirit Moon Cave. 

Neither of them mattered, what mattered now was that Jun had successfully gained a Beast tamer subordinate for himself. 

In addition, he also received a new combat technique as a reward. 

[Frost Dragon Palm Technique (Earth grade mid-level): This technique was created by a spirit cultivator, who had once fused with the spirit of Frost Dragon divine beast. With a single strike of this technique, you can freeze your opponents to death.] 

Jun nodded after reading the technique's description. It didn't look bad at all. 

"Uhm... Are you Shop Owner Jun?" A feminine voice sounded, prompting Jun to look at the entrance.

A young girl around 16-17 years old was standing at the entrance with a nervous expression. 

Even though she looked quite young, she still seemed charming and elegant. From the looks of it, she's probably from a noble family. 

Beside her was a tall and muscular man, he was looking like an external arts cultivator. Judging from his aura, he seemed like a cultivator in Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Yes, I am. You are?" Jun asked. 

"I am Fei Biyu. My father is the head of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce. I came here especially today to talk about a deal that you would be interested in." Fei Biyu explained.

It looked like this was her first time making a deal. She looked quite nervous even before they started talking about the deal after all. 

"Please, sit here." Jun smiled politely and cupped his fist. 

He didn't want to be rude to a wealthy lady like Fei Biyu who has a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator as her guard. 

"Thank you." She said and entered the shop. 

"So, what's the deal you were talking about just now." Jun was straightforward. Instead of sucking up to her, it was better to just ask about the deal. 

"It's well... my father has heard of your battle arena's great reputation. That's why, we want to invest in your shop." Fei Biyu said hesitatingly. 

She couldn't understand why her father would ask her to invest in such a small shop. This shop couldn't even earn more than 1000 spirit stones a day. 

"I see, your father sure has a good eye." Jun boasted with a burst of hearty laughter. 

Fei Biyu wanted to leave this place after hearing Jun's words. However, she had to complete her mission perfectly, or else, it would be difficult to explain it to her father. 

"Fine then, How much can you invest in my shop?" Jun asked nonchalantly.
