Wuxia: An Immortal Taught Me Scientific Martial Arts Training

Chapter 53 Sighing Over the Incomplete Chapter

Xiao Xuan didn't particularly need external martial arts skills, and he certainly wouldn't spend five thousand yuan to get himself into trouble.

However, not everyone is willing to take this risk.

In the end, this book, "Broom Leg Technique," was bought by a sixth-realm martial artist for ten thousand coins.

It's just unknown how long he can keep this secret manual.

"The next item up for auction is also a secret martial arts manual!"

The host's deep voice rang in everyone's ears, and then the next item appeared before their eyes.

"Huh~"

"Why is it it again?"

To Xiao Xuan's surprise, the moment the red cloth was lifted, the entire audience erupted in boos.

"This nameless martial arts manual starts at ten thousand coins! Each bid is one thousand coins!"

After the host finished speaking, no one made a bid; instead, they all scoffed at the secret manual.

"How many times has this manual been auctioned off here?"

"It seems to have been here since I came last year."

Xiao Xuan was drawn to the conversation of the people at the next table. It was strange that a martial arts manual had failed to sell for a year.

Xiao Xuan and Qu Lingyan exchanged a glance and then pricked up their ears to listen to what was happening at the next table.

"I heard that a Taoist nun from the Xianxia Sect once bought this manual, but then returned it."

"Is that so?"

"I've heard that this skill is completely made up and can't be practiced normally. Some people have even gone mad from it."

"No wonder that Taoist nun was willing to pay compensation to return it."

Their conversation piqued Xiao Xuan's curiosity, and at that moment the host spoke again:

"Guide the Qi into the Yongquan point, reverse the flow of cold Qi along the Du meridian. Transform the stagnation in the Tanzhong point, and gather the Qi into the Dantian."

The host read out a part of the secret recipe, and Qu Lingyan tried it and immediately gagged.

"Ugh, what kind of luck-telling method is this?"

Those around who didn't believe in the superstition also gagged, but Xiao Xuan felt that the book was very familiar. He tried it out according to the method and actually exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"No way?"

Xiao Xuan was surprised to activate his ability. He stared intently at the scene and suddenly felt an urge to stand up.

[The Nameless Secret Manual]

[A handwritten copy containing the latter half of the Sighing Technique.]

"How could I be so lucky?"

Xiao Xuan was overjoyed and immediately picked up the number plate on the table.

"Ding Wuwu! Eleven thousand coins! Once!"

The host not only had a powerful voice, but also exceptional eyesight.

As soon as Xiao Xuan raised his sign, the host spoke up, not giving the guest a chance to back out.

The other guests at the auction, upon hearing the host's words, also began searching for who had won the bid for this worthless manual.

"Are there really fools out there?"

"Over ten thousand yuan for a few sheets of waste paper?"

"Does he think he's a prodigy? Everyone else can't learn it, but he can."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed loudly in Xiao Xuan's direction, and the people at the table next to Xiao Xuan even got up and changed seats.

"Ding Wuwu, 11,000 coins! Three times! Congratulations, sir! Please take your number to the back office to complete the transaction after the ranking period ends!"

The host calmly lowered the gavel, seemingly not in a hurry to sell the nameless manual.

Qu Lingyan, standing to the side, also avoided the stares of the crowd and silently lowered her head.

"Didn't those people just say this manual is fake? You're still going to buy it?"

Qu Lingyan shook her head helplessly and said somewhat displeased:

"Let's get this straight, you'll have to pay for this manual yourself. I need to use my money to buy gentian."

"That's natural."

Xiao Xuan smiled faintly. As the saying goes, what is worthless to one is treasure to another.

Finding the second half of the Sighing Technique here was already an unexpected delight for Xiao Xuan.

Perhaps it was those previous buyers who didn't have the first half of the Sighing Technique, which is why they couldn't cultivate it. In this way, the book was passed down from person to person and became a waste.

The auction continued, and soon the gentian came into view.

"Gentian root grows only on Dragon Ridge Mountain in Yuan Kingdom. It is extremely poisonous, but in the hands of some, it can be transformed into a miraculous elixir. Starting price is 20,000 coins, with each bid increasing by 1,000 coins!"

The host spoke loudly, and everyone looked over curiously.

"What is this thing? Why is it so expensive?"

"Never heard of it, but no one dares to touch such a poisonous creature."

"I heard that the Medicine King Society has been searching for this poisonous herb and has even sent people to the border region."

Sure enough, before the host's voice could even fade from the tower, the members of the Medicine King Association stood up and raised their signs.

"Thirty for B, twenty-one thousand!"

Qu Lingyan was not to be outdone and raised the sign on their own table.

"Ding Wuwu! Twenty-two thousand!"

Everyone was shocked, and the members of the Medicine King Association were even more surprised.

The medicinal and poisonous plants on Ghost Street are usually dealt with by members of the Medicine King Association.

If Shangguan Tong hadn't been so fond of auctions, the Medicine King Society would have simply bought it directly from him.

"How come someone is competing with the Medicine King for medicinal herbs?"

"Ding Wuwu, isn't that the table where they bought the fake manuals?"

"I think they're just here to cause trouble, right? Are they shills for Ghost Street?"

The members of the Medicine King Association paid no attention and continued bidding.

But no matter how many times they raised their paddles, Qu Lingyan would always push them aside before the host could speak, and the price of gentian root was thus raised to 32,000 coins.

"What should we do, President Su? Our budget is only 35,000."

The person who had been bidding the most turned around, and the vice president named Su Ting could even see the embarrassment on his subordinate's face through the mask.

"Where did these two strange people come from?"

Su Ting muttered something, her hands involuntarily clenching together.

"Thirty-two thousand once!"

The host stirred up the crowd's emotions, and the onlookers also became tense.

"Is that girl serious?"

"I think it's going to be a liability."

"Ding Wu and Wu are probably possessed by demonic possession. We should stay away from them."

Hearing that the host was about to speak, Su Ting could no longer hold back and stood up to take off her mask.

"I am Hui Suting, the Medicine King! I am determined to obtain this item; please grant me this favor, young lady!"

After saying that, Su Ting raised the sign and increased the price to 33,000 yuan.

His act of introducing himself was against the rules at the auction and immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of those around him.

"What do you mean? You took off your mask?"

"Who can't tell you're from the Medicine King Society? Why are you bullying us like this?"

"They must be out of money and have no choice but to use the Medicine King Association to intimidate people."

Even so, Qu Lingyan was not afraid at all and raised the sign without hesitation.

"you!"

Su Ting raised her paddle again; this 35,000 was their last chance.

"Young lady, who in the martial world doesn't get sick or suffer some misfortune? It's not worth going against Medicine King Valley!"

Qu Lingyan sneered: "Go talk about matters of the martial world in the martial world. This is an auction, the highest bidder wins."

"Hahaha!"

After Qu Lingyan finished speaking, a deafening noise came from the third floor. An old man standing at the edge of the platform said:

"Well said, little girl!"

The old man was wearing a blue and white Taoist robe and was slightly overweight.

He removed his mask and said loudly:

"This 'Medicine King's Society' is nothing! Little girl, don't worry about filming, this old Taoist priest will back you up!"
