Zhou Tong hadn't spent much time on his journey from the Palace of Myriad Treasures to the outside. By the time he emerged, however, he had already brought out three thousand cubes of chaos nectar.
"It really is as I expected. Three thousand cubes of chaos nectar. That's about right." Zhou Tong mused to himself, "I wonder how many secret arts I can buy here."
The main reason he had come to Waveshift City was to search for all sorts of secret arts and techniques. This was what he needed the most right now.
Over the past few centuries, he had spent most of his time by himself meditating on the Grand Dao and the essence of fire. Even the secret arts he had acquired were mostly from those he had slain, and so there was a limit to how many of them he had.
This was because many truly powerful secret arts were protected by oaths. Zhou Tong was able to break his own lifeblood oaths because of his Rebirth seal, but he wasn't able to break the oaths of others.
Now that he was close to becoming a World God and a Chaos Immortal, and he was about to go adventuring in the ruins of the Allgod Estate, he needed to see what secret arts others had developed and strengthen his foundation.
Zhou Tong continued to stroll through the streets of Waveshift City, searching for the shops he needed.
Waveshift City was incomparably bustling, and combat was forbidden here. Daolord Badlands was on guard, and the city was covered with countless ancient formations. Waveshift City was definitely the safest place in the entire Badlands Territory.
Many World-level cultivators who were tired of fighting or who preferred a peaceful life of cultivation would choose to settle down here. In fact, some major powers who liked to roam the outside world would send their subordinates to set up shop here.
These major powers needed resources and treasures for their own cultivation, and so they would often leave their secret arts and techniques here.
There were three types of shops that were the most popular in Waveshift City. The first were shops that bought and sold magic treasures. The second were shops that bought and sold slaves. The third were shops that bought and sold divine abilities and secret arts. Magic treasures, techniques, and slaves. These were the three most important businesses in this place. But of course, there were also quite a few businesses like formations, pills, and talismans.
However, Zhou Tong only needed those divine abilities and secret arts. As for magic treasures and slaves? Given his current wealth, he couldn't afford to buy magic treasures that were on par with Violetjewel, nor could he afford World-level slaves. As for magic treasures that were weaker than Violetjewel or World-level slaves, there was no point in buying them.
As for medicinal pills, there was even less of a need for them. What kind of medicinal pill could compare to the recovery ability of his Phoenix Physique?
There weren't that many shops in Waveshift City that specialized in mystic arts. There were only a hundred or so of them, and most of them were opened by major factions such as God Emperor Blacklotus, Planet Foggy Stone, and even the Badlands Court.
This was because Cultivation Methods and Secret Techniques were different from Magic Weapons and Medicinal Pills, which could be used as soon as they were obtained. These kinds of things that involved inheritance were mostly protected by Life Oaths and could not be casually spread out.
Ordinary rogue cultivators, even if they had accumulated enough Cultivation Methods and Secret Arts, most of them couldn't be sold. Therefore, only those big forces could have enough Cultivation Methods and Secret Arts to open shops.
Of course, this was just a shop that sold techniques and secret arts. In fact, most shops would sell techniques and secret arts on a small scale while selling magical equipment and slaves.
Zhou Tong spent a full month changing his identity and going through most of the shops. Only then was he able to compile a list of all the Cultivation Methods and Secret Arts available for sale in Waveshift City.
By now, there were more than seven hundred thousand World-level Cultivation Methods and Secret Arts for sale. As for Zu Shen level Cultivation Methods and Secret Arts, there were more than sixty million. As for Secret Arts at the True God level and below, there were even more. Zhou Tong didn't count the Cultivation Methods and Secret Arts at the True God level, because he had no use for them.
Of all the Cultivation Methods and Secret Arts available for sale, roughly a twentieth of them were related to the Dao of Fire. This ratio was quite astonishing, as the Dao of Fire was a very broad category to begin with. Countless chaosworlds contained the Heavenly Dao of Fire within them.
"After browsing for so long, in the end, the Badlands Court's shops still sell the most comprehensive and powerful Cultivation Methods and Secret Arts. However, the Seven Flames Secret Art of the Greencloud Pavilion is quite impressive as well. And then there's the Flaming Illusion Art of the Violetwave School as well. And …"
"Still … given my current net worth and my purchasing power, there are some Divine Abilities and Secret Arts that I need to choose. Let's get the Seven Flames Secret Art first. I'll go look for others later. "Zhou Tong pondered for a long time. In the end, he decided on the type of Secret Art he needed.
The Greencloud Pavilion was actually the name of a local sect within the Badlands Everworld. This sect had existed for countless tens of thousands of years in the Badlands Everworld, and its roots were extremely deep.
Zhou Tong entered the shop. Soon, an azure-robed Zu Xian Immortal cultivator gracefully walked over.
"Senior, may I ask what you are looking for?" The azure-robed Immortal cultivator smiled as she looked at Zhou Tong.
The Greencloud Pavilion's shops were filled with countless customers. Every single attendant was a cultivator at the Zu Xian or Zu Shen level, and their service was excellent as well.
"I need Divine Abilities and Secret Arts of the Fire Elemental Dao," Zhou Tong said directly.
"Senior, please take a look. All the Divine Abilities and Secret Arts of the Fire Elemental Dao are here. Which ones do you need?" The azure-robed Immortal cultivator, Zu Xian, took out a list and handed it to Zhou Tong.
He had already looked through the items on the list. In the end, he chose the Seven Flames Secret Art that he had his eyes on.
"This Seven Flames Secret Art is worth 132 bottles of Chaos Spirit Liquid," the azure-robed Immortal said.
"Here you go!" Zhou Tong immediately took out the Chaos Spirit Liquid.
"Senior, please come this way!" When the azure-robed Immortal saw that Zhou Tong had chosen the Secret Art, she immediately led Zhou Tong into a secret room within the Greencloud Pavilion.
The inheritance of Divine Abilities and Secret Arts was different from the sale of Dharma treasures and pills. It required a quiet secret room for the inheritance.
After entering the secret room, Zhou Tong didn't have to wait long before the azure-robed Immortal appeared with a crimson inheritance jade slip in her hand.
The jade slip was crimson in color and gave off a scorching aura. Even the air seemed to distort.
Zhou Tong took the jade slip and first made a lifeblood oath: "I hereby swear that I will never divulge this to anyone in my lifetime …"
This was a necessary step for cultivators who sold Divine Abilities and Secret Arts. If they didn't make a lifeblood oath, those who bought the Divine Ability would spread it around and they wouldn't be able to make any profits.
It was precisely because the Divine Abilities and Secret Arts included a lifeblood oath that they could buy them for just over a hundred bottles of Chaos Spirit Liquid.
Of course, lifeblood oaths didn't exist for Zhou Tong. The Rebirth imprint in his body could easily block the power of lifeblood oaths.
.....
Seven Kills Temple.
A black-robed True Immortal approached.
"Senior, do you need anything?" the True Immortal asked.
"Show me all the cultivation techniques and secret techniques related to the Dao of Fire," Zhou Tong said casually.
"Senior, please take a look …"
.....
A day passed. Zhou Tong changed his identity more than a dozen times. In the end, he spent all 3,000 cubes of Chaos Spirit Liquid. He exchanged them for thousands of different Fire Path Secret Arts and Secret Arts.
