Chapter 239: A Willing Participant
Chapter 239: A Willing Participant
"That's all I need." The man nodded.
"We Mind Masters have a group where we exchange items and discuss cultivation experiences. I can also share information about the items up for auction and their ownership. Once the auction is over, I can invite you to the group."
Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up at this.
The man cleared his throat softly.
"I have a few Secret Arts that I want to trade. That's why I came here early this time. I was wondering if you could post in the group on my behalf and let interested people know that I'm here for a trade?"
Jiang Cheng's heart raced as he finished speaking. If the man agreed, it would be incredibly convenient.
He could just sit here and wait for customers to come to him.
Compared to knocking on doors in every room, and with not many people around, he might have to run up and down the floors constantly, which would be too troublesome.
The man hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded in agreement.
Just as Jiang Cheng had hoped, he did have some value as a potential ally, and the man didn't want to push him towards the Black Market.
"What Secret Arts do you have for trade? What do you want in exchange? I'll listen for your offer in the group, and those interested will naturally come to you. But I should also remind you that we only provide a platform. Any issues that arise during the trade are not our responsibility."
The man spoke slowly.
"No problem, as long as you post on my behalf."
Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and listed all the Secret Arts he had. When he mentioned the Heavenly Martial Art, the man couldn't help but interrupt, "You also have a Heavenly Martial Art? What's its name?"
"It's the complete version of the Shadowless Blade Technique." Jiang Cheng looked at the man.
"Oh, that one. Did you buy it from the man wearing the Ox Head Mask?"
Jiang Cheng nodded.
"How much did you pay for it?"
"1.8 million."
Jiang Cheng replied without hesitation.
The man let out a whistle and sized up Jiang Cheng, seemingly surprised that the young man before him was quite wealthy.
"Are you sure it's genuine? Even the introductory level of a Heavenly Martial Art is difficult to cultivate. It would be better to use half the money to buy a decent Earth Martial Art here."
"The Ox Head Uncle is a good man. I trust he wouldn't cheat me." Jiang Cheng said.
The man seemed speechless after hearing this.
At the same time, he also labeled Jiang Cheng as a fool with money, and his initial wariness lessened.
"Alright, as long as you're happy."
He muttered, "So, what do you want to trade for?"
"I want to trade for Human Martial Arts I don't have. Earth Martial Arts would be even better. Additionally, I also want to buy a Lotus Visualization Chart. I can trade it for the Secret Arts I have, or I can save up and buy it at the Black Market next time."
The man nodded seriously, "Okay, I'll post your request in the group. When someone comes knocking, just open the door."
"Great, then I'll be counting on you, brother."
Jiang Cheng quickly replied.
"No problem. I just hope you'll keep your word and not go back on your promise."
The man's eyes held a warning.
"I won't. A gentleman's word is as good as gold."
"Alright."
The man nodded and left.
After seeing the man off, Jiang Cheng closed the door, a smile spreading across his face.
From now on, he just had to wait.
Mind Masters, while they sound like they only cultivate psychic energy, are not limited to that.
Since his psychic energy has improved, his physical body hasn’t enhanced much.
It's like how when the physical body improves, the increase in psychic energy is also very limited.
Whether it’s a Primordial Energy Warrior focused on the physical body or the energy path, they can enhance their physical body by unblocking acupoints.
Mind Masters don’t unblock acupoints, so their physical bodies remain limited. Therefore, they also need to practice secret martial arts. However, compared to Primordial Energy Warriors, their psychic energy is higher, and they absorb more force light points. Unless they encounter a bottleneck, their cultivation speed is much faster than that of ordinary Primordial Energy Warriors.
So, Jiang Cheng isn’t worried about not being able to exchange for secret martial arts from them. As long as someone comes, it’s fine.
"Let’s see what auction items are here, and also check how much a visualization chart costs."
Jiang Cheng sat on the sofa and picked up the auction catalog for Primordial Energy Warriors.
He first skimmed through it roughly.
The highlight items of this auction are two.
One of them is an A-grade alloy weapon named Black Blade, which is the best quality among A-grade alloy weapons. Its sharpness can cut through the skin of a Tier 10 Primordial Energy Warrior, let alone those below Tier 10.
The starting bid is two million, with each bid increment being ten thousand.
Jiang Cheng was quite tempted, as he currently lacked a divine weapon.
Unfortunately, he was short on funds.
Besides this, there is another item named Mystic Iron Shield.
At first glance, it’s a shield, and indeed, it is a shield, but it’s a third-rank top treasure.
It can only be used after being recognized through a blood drop.
The usage method is simple; just inject force into it.
This was set by the person who refined it during "manufacturing."
In its normal state, it is smaller than the size of a palm and can be carried on the body. When in danger, inject force into it, and the shield will automatically enlarge, dividing into four sides to form a three-dimensional defense. As long as force is continuously injected, it can block attacks from Tier 10 Primordial Energy Warriors!
Jiang Cheng was greatly impressed.
He thought of the Obsidian Set he saw last time, which seemed like a junior compared to this.
Perhaps only the Bursting Talisman could match this Mystic Iron Shield.
He flipped through it again and found no similar treasures. There were quite a few talismans, including first, second, and third-rank ones. For instance, the familiar Vajra Talisman is second-rank, with different qualities for low, medium, and high grades. The two he has are medium-grade Vajra Talismans, which can only block a heavy sniper rifle bullet.
"Fortunately, I'm about to reach Tier 6, so even a high-grade Vajra Talisman wouldn't be very useful."
Jiang Cheng thought to himself.
He wanted to buy a third-rank defensive talisman, but he still didn’t have the money.
He might as well look at weapons.
He flipped through the pages, and his eyes lit up. He had previously worried about not finding a suitable weapon, but now it seemed he had overthought it.
There were quite a few weapons. Apart from the Black Blade, there were two more A-grade weapons that could harm Tier 9 and Tier 8 Primordial Energy Warriors, respectively. There were also two B-grade weapons and one C-grade weapon.
The C-grade alloy battle sword seemed to be a standard weapon, with the full name being M8 Alloy Battle Sword.
The starting bid is ten thousand, with each bid increment being one thousand.
Jiang Cheng felt it would be no problem to secure it.
After a rough scan, Jiang Cheng put down the catalog and picked up another one on the table.
"I wonder what good things are in here."
Jiang Cheng was very excited. Although he couldn’t afford them, it was still nice to look.
Besides, just because he can’t afford them now doesn’t mean he won’t be able to in the future.
