"Welcome, Initiate. First time in the Pavilion?"
"Yes. I need techniques specifically for Infinity Law cultivation."
"Ah, a serious student. Good, good." The elder gestured, and shelves of jade slips materialized around them. "These are our Initiate-level techniques. Basic comprehension methods, energy circulation patterns, Law meditation exercises. Prices range from 10 to 100 Essence depending on quality."
Elias scanned the selection. Hundreds of techniques, each claiming to speed breakthrough, enhance comprehension, or provide insight into Infinity Law.
"I'll take one of each category," he said. "Circulation methods, meditation techniques, comprehension aids, breakthrough guides. Give me the top three in each category."
The elder's eyebrows rose. "That's... twelve techniques total. At average 50 Essence each, you're looking at 600 Essence."
"Acceptable."
"Most Initiates spend years deciding which single technique to purchase..."
