After handing over three hundred gold notes to the old man, the old man immediately gave the ancient book to Chu Nan and said, "Young friend, take this technique back and study it well. If there's anyone who can dominate the Cyan Profound Mansion in the future, it will surely be you!"

Chu Nan placed the ancient book in his palm and examined it closely. Four large characters were faintly visible on the cover: Ancient Dominating Body Technique!

He frowned slightly. It turned out to be a Body Refining Technique.

But he already possessed the Desolate Profound Transformation. What use did this Ancient Dominating Body Technique have for him?

Nevertheless, since it was recommended by Kui Guang, Chu Nan thought it must be useful. He planned to find an opportunity to examine it carefully back at the post house, perhaps discovering something extraordinary.

"Chu Nan, you really bought it," Lin An looked at Chu Nan in surprise, not because he cared about the three hundred gold notes.

Such an amount wasn't much. In a place like the Cyan Profound Mansion, gold notes weren't considered valuable.

The main issue was that Chu Nan had bought something that was obviously a piece of junk. If word got out, it wouldn't sound good at all, as many people were already whispering and snickering.

"The fool from the Commandery City actually took this worthless book as a treasure," someone said secretly.

Another person complained, "Back then, my friend got scammed by this old man too. He followed the method in the book, nearly causing his Martial Vein to break. He's still bedridden now."

"Exactly, many people in the Cyan Profound Mansion have suffered at his hands. This old scoundrel sells techniques that are deadly. It's a shame he comes and goes like a shadow, difficult to catch. Otherwise, we'd have the Mansion Master punish him harshly."

Yao, hearing this, looked at Chu Nan with concern and said, "Chu Nan, just take this technique back and study it, but don't actually practice it."

The discussions around them were indeed terrifying, and Zheng Yao couldn't help but worry for Chu Nan.

Chu Nan smiled and said, "I know what I'm doing. Rest assured, Senior Sister."

It was at this moment that Chu Nan noticed the old man, after receiving the gold notes, disappear like a ghost.

This scene made him secretly wary. Indeed, anyone who could openly sell a technique valued by Kui Guang must have some skills.

He paid no heed to Lin An and Zheng Yao's persuasion, not to mention others' mockery.

Chu Nan continued to stroll with Lin An and Zheng Yao, wandering around until the evening.

However, Chu Nan didn't purchase anything else, feeling lucky to have found one good item.

Zheng Yao, on the other hand, bought some Spirit Martial fragments, which she found decent enough to have someone forge a brand new Spirit Martial weapon.

After doing all this, they left Ancient Treasure Street and headed towards the Cyan Profound Post House.

Along the way, they encountered Jiang Yixing, who sighed helplessly upon seeing Chu Nan for the first time, "King-tier Spirit Martial weapons are way too expensive. I searched many places but couldn't find a suitable one. I'll just have to keep using my top-tier Spirit Martial."

Jiang Yixing's tone revealed significant disappointment.

"Cyan Profound Mansion is vast and abundant; you'll surely find something suitable eventually. There's no need to rush, Senior Brother Jiang," Chu Nan casually comforted, and then they continued on their way.

Upon returning to the Cyan Profound Post House, Chu Nan looked at Lin An and asked, "Lin An, are you staying at the Cyan Profound Post House with us as well?"

This was a simple probe to see whether Lin An was indeed a person from the Cyan Profound Mansion.

As Chu Nan expected, Lin An replied, "I have my own place to stay, no need to worry about me."

"This place is considered one of the safest in the Cyan Profound Mansion, given its proximity to the Mansion Master's residence. If anything happens, the Mansion Master would be the first to know."

"Rest well, the Cyan Profound Grand Competition is about to begin. I look forward to seeing you bring glory to the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect!"

Chu Nan immediately understood; Lin An was undoubtedly a person from the Cyan Profound Mansion, though her exact status remained unknown.

In the past, Lin An's Martial Arts Realm allowed her to be protected by a Yang Wheel Martial Artist, indicating her position in the Cyan Profound Mansion must be quite high.

After bidding farewell to Lin An, the three of them returned to the small courtyard and then divided the purchased Reishi Mushrooms into three parts.

Both Jiang Yixing and Zheng Yao expressed their gratitude, but Chu Nan didn't particularly care.

After this, the three went back to their respective rooms. Tomorrow would be the day of the Cyan Profound Grand Competition, and they needed to prepare well before then.

And after saying goodbye to Chu Nan and the others, Lin An surprisingly went straight through the Cyan Profound Post House, heading directly towards the Mansion Master's residence...

Back in his room, Chu Nan first consumed all the Reishi Mushrooms.

As Kui Guang had mentioned, impurities within his body transformed into black gas that drifted out from the top of his head, making Chu Nan feel refreshed, as if something unpleasant had left his body.

Then he took out the Ancient Dominating Body Technique he purchased from that old man today and carefully began to flip through it in his palm.

As he suspected, this Ancient Dominating Body Technique was indeed a body refining technique, with its grade even reaching lower grade Profound Tier.

Mastering it could make the physical body as terrifying as a demon beast, with every gesture carrying the weight of Mount Tai.

However, this technique was incomplete, with roughly only half the content available, greatly diminishing its value to below even some stronger mid-grade Yellow Tier Martial Skills.

"Sword Venerable master, what's the use of this Ancient Dominating Body Technique to me?" Chu Nan flipped through it several times but couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't help but ask Kui Guang.

Kui Guang wasn't surprised, knowing that Chu Nan was just a Spirit Pill Realm Martial Artist with limited knowledge, making it normal for him to miss the subtleties within.

So Kui Guang said, "Turn to page fifteen in that book."

Following Kui Guang's instruction, Chu Nan turned the Ancient Dominating Body Technique to page fifteen, where it mainly described how to exert one's strength.

There was a shadow body map of a human body, depicting the five viscera and six bowels, Martial Veins, tendons, and bones.

He didn't care much about it. Could this method of exerting one's strength not be found in any random technique?

"Sword Venerable master, I honestly don't see any mystery in this," Chu Nan couldn't understand and simply asked directly.

Kui Guang patiently explained, "This Ancient Dominating Body Technique itself isn't particularly noteworthy, but it does have a feature that surpasses many Earth Tier techniques in detail."

"Look at this shadow body map. Haven't you noticed that the depiction of the human body is far more refined than other techniques?"

"The method of exerting force described on top is quite rare. Even though the technique itself isn't powerful, mastering the method of harnessing physical strength depicted here will greatly benefit you."

"Your physical body and spiritual power now rival that of the Yang Wheel, but can you fully control this power?"

"The method of applying force in this diagram will precisely address your current inadequacies, enabling you to master everything at the fastest speed."

Kui Guang's words were quite fair; many Martial Artists have formidable realms, physical bodies, and seemingly visible strength.

But few can unlock their full potential.

First, no one realizes the issue, and second, even when recognized, there's often no way to change it.

And although the Ancient Dominating Body Technique wasn't high in grade, its unique way of exerting power made it suitable for Chu Nan's current cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Chu Nan instantly understood. Indeed, Kui Guang's insight was far beyond his own, instantly identifying the unique aspect of the Ancient Dominating Body Technique.

Thus, he made a silent resolution to fully comprehend and master the method of power exertion in the Ancient Dominating Body Technique.
