Chapter 146: Chapter 82: In Books Lies a House of Gold (Part 3)

Even if not for cultivation, it still has great reference value.

“I’ll take the secret manual first, and I’ll have someone send the money to your mansion later,” Xu Qin Yi said.

“It’s a very good cultivation technique, a rare manual completely focused on agility-related leg skills.”

Ren Qingfeng smiled and said, “I’ll take the secret manual too; I’ll have eight hundred silver taels sent over once I return.”

“Thank you, gentlemen, for your support.”

“Without you, I think selling a secret manual would take quite some time, and I might not even get this price.”

Lin Zheyu thanked the two.

If sold on the black market, who knows how long it would take to sell a secret manual?

This kind of high-level manual is unaffordable for those who want to buy it, and those who can afford it rarely need to purchase it, as most have their own family techniques.

After selling it, others would also start setting up stalls in the black market to sell, which is troublesome.

However, the black market is controlled by several powerful families, and they seem intent on preventing cultivation techniques capable of reaching the Qi Blood Realm from appearing on the black market.

“Haha, such a secret manual is a hot commodity. I’ll send a message to Xihong at the Chen Family, asking him to buy from you,”

Xu Qin Yi said with a smile.

After purchasing the secret manual, they could sell it themselves.

But it’s unnecessary. Xu Qin Yi doesn’t lack these few hundred silver taels; it’s better to do Lin Zheyu a favor.

His father has been trying every means to curry favor with Lin Zheyu, even wanting to marry a girl from the Xu Family to him, but unfortunately, it didn’t work out.

Yuxiang was too disappointing.

“Come, come, let’s drink, drink.”

“It’s too difficult to arrange a meeting with Mr. Lin; we can never find him.”

Ren Qingfeng raised his glass and said with a laugh.

They had tried to call Lin Zheyu for several gatherings, but he was always missing.

“That’s right, Mr. Lin, you are too diligent. My father used to praise me for being hard-working and enterprising, but since you appeared, he’s been criticizing me for not working hard enough.”

“He keeps telling me to learn from you and spend more time practicing martial arts, sigh,”

Xu Qin Yi said with a smile.

Recently, Xu Jingwu had indeed been nagging him, each time he heard that Lin Zheyu had gone out of the city, his father would lecture him.

“It’s boring to stay in the city; it’s more interesting outside. I’ve learned a lot of interesting things recently when going out,”

“Have you all heard of the Blood Elixir?”

“I heard from those bandits that a sect called the Nine Nether Sect has appeared in Lion Valley, and they provide Blood Elixirs.”

“Taking a Blood Elixir allows one to break through from the Refining Internal Organ Realm directly to the Qi Blood Realm; it’s quite miraculous,” Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

He wanted to casually see if he could get some related information from Xu Qin Yi and the others.

“I also heard my third uncle say that Lion Valley has been occupied by the Nine Nether Sect.”

“The Nine Nether Sect is a sect with a thousand years of inheritance; it wouldn’t be surprising for them to have such a miraculous elixir.”

“My father has already sent people over to contact them, probably getting some elixirs back soon,” Xu Qin Yi said.

“I read in ancient books that Blood Elixir is made by using the blood of powerful fierce beasts or Martial Artists as the main ingredient, combined with other rare medicinal materials, and refined by special means.”

“Although the Blood Elixir is miraculous, it has significant side effects. After taking it and ascending to the Qi Blood Realm, that would be the end of it. It’s for those Martial Artists whose potential has been exhausted and have no hope of advancement,”

Ren Qingfeng said.

After hearing about the Blood Elixir, he specifically checked the related classics within the clan.

The powerful families in Songyi City have been passing down their heritage for hundreds of years, possessing many classics that record a lot of secret information.

Each time Lin Zheyu attended their gatherings, he always acquired some useful information.

“If one were to purchase the Blood Elixir, would it be very expensive?” Lin Zheyu asked.

“The rarer the item, the higher the value. It could probably sell for more than a hundred silver taels!”

“Even if someone uses the Blood Elixir to break through to the Qi Blood Realm, there’s no way to continue increasing their strength. In my opinion, the value of the Blood Elixir isn’t high.” Xu Qin Yi contemplated and said.

In his view, the practicality of the Blood Elixir is not strong; it’s just that because it cannot be bought in the market, it seems valuable.

Using the Blood Elixir to break through to the Qi Blood Realm means the strength cannot be further improved, with only a few strands of Qi Blood power in the body, which would be exhausted after one burst.

Although it’s a Qi Blood Realm Martial Artist, it’s also the weakest Qi Blood Realm. With a strong crossbow and a few skilled hands cooperating, it can be easily killed.

“I don’t see it that way.”

“For a Martial Artist, breaking through to the Qi Blood Realm, even with just a few strands of Qi Blood power, under full burst, they can easily kill a Peak of Refining Internal Organs Martial Artist.”

“The gap between them is indeed quite large,” Lin Zheyu shook his head and said.

“I agree with Mr. Lin’s view that if there is Blood Elixir available for purchase, I guess many Martial Artists stuck at the Peak of Refining Internal Organs would be willing to spend two to three hundred silver taels to buy it.”

Ren Qingfeng nodded, feeling that even if the price were four hundred, someone would purchase it.

“Is Mr. Lin looking to purchase it?”

“If Mr. Lin wants it, once my father obtains some Blood Elixirs, I’ll reserve one for you and give you a discount,” Xu Qin Yi said with a smile.

“Just curious, since I’ve never seen one before.”

Lin Zheyu replied with a smile, as he also had four Blood Elixirs.

He had previously thought about selling the Blood Elixirs in the black market to exchange for silver taels to buy medicinal materials, but now he didn’t need to.

Simply by selling the cultivation techniques to Xu Qin Yi and Ren Qingfeng, he earned one thousand six hundred silver taels.

For the first time, Lin Zheyu realized how quickly money could be made.

Not long after returning from the Xu Mansion, Xu Qin Yi and Ren Qingfeng sent the silver taels, and because the amount was large, they used gold.

A total of one hundred and sixty taels of gold, shining brightly and pleasing to the eye.

“First, I’ll buy herbs and enhance my strength with these funds; so much money is enough to buy more than a hundred portions of Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Soup materials!”

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

He had accumulated enough Source Power to finally put it to use.

[Heavenly Dao Rewards the Diligent]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 10

Skills:

Wild Bull Fist (Perfection)

Six Harmonies Blade (Minor Achievement 79%)

Golden Swan Skill (Sixth Layer 12%)

Ten Thousand Armies Step (Second Layer 57%)

Poison King Body (First Layer 0%)

Turtle Breath Skill (Third Layer 3%)

“To upgrade the Golden Swan Skill to Eighth-Layer Perfection, it’s estimated to require more than two hundred portions of Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Soup materials. If Chen Xihong also buys a cultivation technique, the needed funds would be sufficient,”

Lin Zheyu thought silently, looking at the data in his consciousness.

Now, there’s no need even to sell the Blood Elixirs; just with the help of his three wealthy second-generation friends, the silver taels needed to cultivate the Golden Swan Skill to perfection were all gathered.

“Cultivating the Martial Dao certainly spends money like flowing water!”

“Two thousand silver taels; an ordinary person would take several lifetimes to earn that much.” Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but sigh.
