Chapter 241: The Exchange
Chapter 241: The Exchange
His straightforwardness made the other party feel a little uneasy.
"Is your Heaven Martial Technique genuine?" The curly-haired woman asked anxiously.
"Of course it's real. I've been cultivating it myself."
Jiang Cheng replied without hesitation, "Not only the Novice Chapter, but the later content can also be exchanged. As long as you offer something of equal value or a Secret Martial Art, it's fine."
"The Novice Chapter is enough."
The curly-haired woman stammered.
For a Mind Master, there was no need for too many Secret Arts to cultivate. Instead, more effort should be focused on enhancing their psychic energy.
The few Human Martial Arts Jiang Cheng had were not very appealing to her, but if she could exchange one that could help her reach the Fifth Rank Force Warrior for the Shadowless Blade Technique's Novice Chapter, it would be a definite profit if the latter was genuine.
"Alright, let's start the exchange. You say a part, and then I'll say a part, until we reach the Completion Chapter. I hope you won't lie."
"You shouldn't lie either."
The curly-haired woman quickly replied.
As time passed by.
The two of them completed the exchange.
Jiang Cheng looked at the newly added line on the panel and nodded in satisfaction.
Indeed, it was a complete Secret Art.
With this, there would be no problem breaking through to Level 6 after returning.
Of course, if he could obtain one or two Earth Martial Techniques next, it would be even better.
"Do you want to exchange something else?"
"No, that's not necessary."
The curly-haired woman shook her head, and after getting what she wanted, she stood up and left.
The room fell silent again.
Jiang Cheng picked up the auction catalog and continued reading.
He had already obtained the guarantee.
From now until the start of the auction, he just needed to sit and wait for the right person to arrive.
Time ticked by.
Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door again.
"Are you number 72? I heard you want the Lotus Meditation Chart. I happen to have one. Do you want to trade?"
A man's voice sounded outside the door, giving off a gentle feeling.
"The Lotus Meditation Chart?"
Jiang Cheng was startled and quickly went to open the door.
A man of medium build stood outside, wearing a smiling mask.
Jiang Cheng opened the door, but the man outside didn't have the scroll with him.
"I just said I have it, but I didn't bring it with me right now. After all, I didn't know you wanted it."
The man shrugged and added, "However, if we reach a deal, I can go back and get it. It won't take too long."
"Alright, come in and let's talk."
Jiang Cheng nodded and stepped aside.
It seemed that leaving and coming back wasn't a difficult task for the man, but it was safer during the day than at night.
The two of them sat down in separate spots.
"I saw in the communication group that you have a complete Heaven Martial Technique that can open up 70 acupoints, is that right?"
"Indeed," Jiang Cheng enthusiastically promoted, "Just the Novice Chapter is enough to become a First Rank Master, and if you open all of them, you can become a Fifth Rank Master."
He had figured it out.
The few Human Martial Arts he had were not appealing to these Mind Masters at all.
What he said to that person before was a complete waste of effort.
"Is that so?"
The man let out a laugh with an unclear meaning.
"How about this: I'll give you the Lotus Meditation Chart, and you give me the complete Heaven Martial Technique you have. What do you say?"
"What?"
Jiang Cheng stared at him in surprise.
"I don't know if the Heaven Martial Technique you have is real or fake, right? What if it's fake? I'll be at a loss, won't I?"
The man spread his hands.
"And when I go back and get the Lotus Meditation Chart for you, you'll be able to tell at a glance if it's real."
"I can swear to the heavens that this Heavenly Martial Technique is genuine, and I'm practicing it myself."
Jiang Cheng said firmly.
"Besides, I spent 1.8 million on this Heavenly Martial Technique. Do you think it's a bit too much to ask for just a Lotus Meditation Chart in return?"
"That's not right."
The man suddenly shook his head. "You're lying about something."
"What am I lying about?"
Jiang Cheng was taken aback.
"Are you sure you spent 1.8 million on that Heavenly Martial Technique?"
As the words fell, Jiang Cheng's expression changed.
"You're indeed lying."
The man chuckled. "Tell me, how much did you actually spend?"
"1.5 million."
Jiang Cheng had to admit the truth.
"Hmm, that's the truth this time."
The man nodded slightly.
"How did you know?" Jiang Cheng couldn't help but ask.
He was wearing a human skin mask and a mask to cover his face, just in case.
Even if his facial expressions changed, the other party shouldn't have been able to see them.
"When your psychic energy is as strong as mine, you'll naturally understand how I did it."
The man pointed to his head.
Jiang Cheng understood.
The other party was likely a high-ranking mentalist.
The stronger the psychic energy, the stronger the sixth sense, not only able to sense the approach of danger but also to discern whether the other party was lying.
Jiang Cheng even suspected that if the two of them weren't in the black market but in any other place, the other party could easily hypnotize him.
"The Heavenly Martial Technique in my hands is indeed genuine, no fakes here."
Jiang Cheng repeated.
Behind the mask, the man's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
He sensed that the latter wasn't lying.
But that didn't necessarily mean the Heavenly Martial Technique was real.
"So, this deal can't be made, then?"
The man shrugged.
"Alright."
He stood up as if he was about to leave.
"If you're willing to add a decent Earth Martial Technique, I can consider telling you all the details."
Jiang Cheng said.
Although he had spent 1.5 million to buy this Heavenly Martial Technique, he didn't expect to keep using it to exchange for equivalent items worth 1.5 million.
Firstly, this Heavenly Martial Technique was hard to sell. He knew it was real, but others didn't, including the Master sitting in charge here, who might not be able to confirm it.
Secondly, when he got this Heavenly Martial Technique, the 1.5 million had already served its purpose. Any future exchanges would be pure profit.
Thirdly, others weren't fools. Just like how he traded the Heavenly Martial Technique from Bullhead Mask, the person who got it from him would also trade it with others, gradually reducing its value.
Upon hearing this, the man paused.
"What you're saying isn't unreasonable, but you still can't prove that the Heavenly Martial Technique in your hands is real. So, I can only offer you a relatively average Earth Martial Technique, plus a Lotus Meditation Chart."
"What kind of average Earth Martial Technique are you talking about?"
Jiang Cheng asked.
"One that can open 40 acupoints, with a maximum limit of a Seventh Rank Essence Warrior."
The man looked at Jiang Cheng.
"If you have no objections, I'll go back and get that meditation chart now, and we can complete the transaction when I return. If you're not willing, consider this conversation never happened."
