Chapter 232: Shadow Blade
Chapter 232: Shadow Blade
"What?"
The man across from Jiang Cheng exclaimed upon hearing his words.
"Little brother, are you serious?"
Based on their previous interaction, he judged Jiang Cheng to be a third or fourth rank Primordial Energy Warrior, and at most, a fifth rank.
Because that was the limit of human martial prowess.
To advance further, one must acquire an Earth Martial Technique.
However, he never expected that Jiang Cheng would ask for a Heaven Martial Technique right off the bat!
"Yes, brother, I'm very serious, and I know exactly what I'm asking for," Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
"That day, you mentioned that you had a few Heaven Martial Techniques in your possession, right? I'm curious about the price. If it's too expensive, I won't be able to afford it even if I wanted to buy it."
"That's right. I do have a couple of Heaven Martial Techniques, and they've been verified by experts. You don't need to worry about their authenticity; after all, in our line of work, reputation is everything. It's just that..."
The man sighed, "It's not that I'm refusing this business opportunity or looking down on you, little brother, but with your current strength, you're probably only at the fifth rank, right?"
"You have a good eye, brother," Jiang Cheng smiled.
"If you're only at the fifth rank and want to cultivate a Heaven Martial Technique, the difficulty is quite high. Most people start with Earth Martial Techniques. Little brother, why don't you buy an Earth Martial Technique from me first? I have various Earth Martial Techniques available, and the highest price is only 800,000, much cheaper than buying from other sources."
"Brother, I appreciate your good intentions, but I've made up my mind. I want to buy a Heaven Martial Technique to practice." Jiang Cheng was determined.
The man sucked in a breath.
"Little brother, if you insist, I won't object. But I must remind you of one thing: once sold, there are no returns, even if you come to the black market to find me, I won't refund your money."
"Don't worry, brother. Even if I can't master it, that's my problem, not yours."
"Alright, since you've made up your mind, I won't beat around the bush. I have two Heaven Martial Techniques in my possession."
"One is Cloud Piercing Leg, a secret martial art for leg techniques. It can open up 62 acupoints, and when cultivated to perfection, one can become a third rank master. The market price is 1 million, and you won't find it at an auction for less than 1.1 or 1.2 million, but I'm offering it for 900,000."
"And the other one?"
"The other is a secret martial art for weaponry, named Shadow Blade. It can open up 70 acupoints, including those on the arms and torso. When cultivated to perfection, one can become a fifth rank master. If paired with a powerful weapon, nothing can stand in your way!" The man was excited, his saliva flying.
"What's the price?"
Jiang Cheng was tempted.
At least for now, martial arts using fists and legs were undoubtedly inferior to weapons.
Just like that assassin the other day, wearing those gauntlets.
Even if he was a fourth rank, he would suffer if he clashed with the assassin head-on.
"A Heaven Martial Technique that opens up 70 acupoints usually sells for around 2 million on the market, but here, just like the other Heaven Martial Technique, I can give you a 10% discount. It's yours for 1.8 million."
"Can you make it any cheaper?" Jiang Cheng asked.
He currently had around 1.6 million in total.
"Little brother, this is the lowest price I can offer," the man said with a hint of grievance.
"You can go and ask around. If you find a better price elsewhere, I'll twist my head off and let you use it as a ball."
"Furthermore, I've put in a lot of effort to obtain this Heaven Martial Art, and I've had it verified by many to ensure its authenticity. This is truly the lowest price I can offer."
"1.5 million," Jiang Cheng stated a price.
"Bro, you're being too harsh, aren't you?" The man was shocked. "No, no, this price is too low. I can't go any lower than 1.8 million. You can make installment payments. I'll provide the corresponding content in parts. For example, with the introductory chapter, if you practice and feel it's effective, then you can come back for the rest. If it doesn't work out, you won't lose too much. Don't you think I'm being reasonable?"
He had sold these two Heaven Martial Arts several times before.
It wasn't the complete set but only the introductory chapter. The majority of buyers didn't follow up after purchasing the introductory chapter.
Fortunately, he could sell the entire set for 1.5 million, provided the content was satisfactory.
"1.5 million, I can buy it all at once as long as the content is fine."
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, the man across from him widened his eyes in surprise.
Wow.
Was he this decisive?
He licked his lips, and he had to admit he was tempted.
He had sold the introductory chapter several times for around 100,000 each, earning only a few hundred thousand in total.
Jiang Cheng was asking for the entire set, which was equivalent to selling the introductory chapter 15 times. Fifteen times! If he lowered the price by 200,000 to 300,000, it seemed like a reasonable deal.
"Bro, I've put in a lot of effort to collect this Heaven Martial Art. 1.5 million is too low. How about this, I'll sell it to you for 1.7 million."
"Brother, to be honest, I only have this much money. It's not that I don't want to pay 1.7 million, but I genuinely can't afford it."
The man didn't believe him.
Everyone who bargained would say the same thing.
But with a potential profit of over a million right in front of him, if the other party changed their mind later, it wouldn't be good.
"Alright, alright!"
The man slapped his thigh.
"Let's just make it 1.5 million. The 300,000 difference can be considered a friendship fee. In the future, I'll introduce more friends to buy Secret Arts from me, and I'll give them a discount."
"Sure, no problem."
Jiang Cheng readily agreed.
This price was indeed cheaper than any other source, and introducing friends was not an issue.
Then, he asked his second question.
"Brother, do you have any Visualization Charts for sale?"
Since Visualization Techniques could be self-created, even if he didn't get the Lotus Meditation Technique, it wouldn't matter.
He would create a Visualization Technique based on whatever Visualization Chart he obtained.
"Visualization Chart?"
The man was taken aback, "A Visualization Chart for cultivating Visualization Techniques?"
"Yes, brother, do you have any?"
"I'm sorry, brother, I don't have any Visualization Charts, nor do I have any Visualization Techniques."
The man explained helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to get them, but those Mind Masters are very particular. After hearing my request, they scolded me and sent me away. So, I didn't bother them again. By the way, brother, you're a Mind Master, right?"
He had suspected that Jiang Cheng was a Mind Master from the start.
At the later auction, he was even more certain of this.
Otherwise, why would a Primordial Energy Warrior specifically buy potions for restoring psychic energy? Jiang Cheng's inquiry confirmed this fact.
