Chapter 7
"I don't know if this information is true or false."
"Maybe I can get a better cultivation secret manual from it."
Although Chen Hao had doubts, he still planned to go and investigate.
Possessing the [Eye of True Sight], he might be able to pick up a bargain inside.
Before going, Chen Hao did a disguise.
He arrived at the location on time.
It was night.
The black market was set up in a jungle.
Chen Hao didn't act immediately, but observed from the side.
After waiting for a long time and finding no problems, Chen Hao entered it.
This time the black market was quite lively, with many people pacing around.
The small vendors consciously set up in two rows, creating a path in the middle.
Quite a few people were arguing with the small vendors until their faces were red.
Like a vegetable market, they were bargaining.
Chen Hao walked on the street in the middle, looking left and right constantly.
With the help of the [Eye of True Sight], Chen Hao saw the attributes of these things.
"Trash, all trash!"
The [Eye of True Sight] was very intelligent; it directly distinguished the rarity of items by color.
White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, Rainbow!
A total of nine colors.
Although there were many things on this stall, most of them were white-board equipment.
Although occasionally red or even orange appeared.
Chen Hao didn't even look at them.
After a round, Chen Hao was a bit disappointed.
"Damn, what happened to picking up a bargain?"
Just as he was puzzled.
A noise came over.
"Uncle Rabbit Tooth, you dog, you actually sold me fake goods."
A black burly man grabbed a man with rabbit teeth.
The small vendors around seemed to have long been accustomed to such situations.
"Uncle Rabbit Tooth is also bold!"
"He cheated someone, and he didn't know to run; he actually dared to come here."
"Maybe he wanted to gamble."
"Gamble? Now it's good, he got caught."
"Tsk tsk tsk, back in the day, Uncle Rabbit Tooth was also a famous figure."
"He was a master of tomb raiding in the industry, and his strength was as high as the first grade of the General Realm."
"Unfortunately, a tomb raiding failure led to a curse from the tomb owner."
"As a result, he couldn't lift the curse, and his strength dropped straight down."
"He went from the first grade of the General Realm to the eighth grade of the Warrior Realm now."
"Miserable, truly miserable!"
"If I were him, I guess I would have been unable to accept it long ago and just found a place to slit my throat."
Uncle Rabbit Tooth was grabbed by the collar by the black burly man, and he said anxiously, "Don't, don't, this is really a good treasure."
"It was stolen from a tomb."
Hearing Uncle Rabbit Tooth's words, the black burly man snorted coldly.
"You're fooling a ghost!"
"I didn't know you before, so I fell for your trick."
"Who doesn't know that you, Uncle Rabbit Tooth, are an expert at selling fake goods."
Ever since Uncle Rabbit-Tooth was cursed, he had begun exhausting his family fortune, intending to break the power of the curse.
Yet, despite spending countless sums of money, there was still not the slightest effect.
With no other options, Uncle Rabbit-Tooth had no choice but to take a risk and embark on the path of forgery.
Because with his current strength, if he were to go grave robbing, it would be no different than a sheep walking into a tiger’s den.
“It’s real, it’s really real!”
Uncle Rabbit-Tooth looked anxious; he felt even more wronged than Dou E.
“I wouldn’t dare lie to you, Master Lu, even if I were to lie to anyone else!”
Uncle Rabbit-Tooth didn’t know what else to say.
He was the type of person who judged others by their status; he would never offend someone like Lu Zhihui.
The item he gave Lu Zhihui was genuine.
What a pity!
Prejudice in a person’s heart is a mountain; after Lu Zhihui bought the cultivation technique and took it back,
he found he couldn’t comprehend it.
Therefore, he instinctively assumed this secret manual was a fake.
“To hell with your ‘genuine’!”
“At this point, you’re still putting on an act for me.”
As he spoke, Lu Zhihui raised the book in his hand, rolled it into a stick, and gave Uncle Rabbit-Tooth a wild beating.
Uncle Rabbit-Tooth howled in pain as Lu Zhihui beat him.
Seeing this, Chen Hao felt a pang of heartache.
The reason for his heartache wasn’t because Uncle Rabbit-Tooth was being beaten, but because Lu Zhihui was using a blue cultivation technique manual to deliver a fierce beating to Uncle Rabbit-Tooth.
Chen Hao was terrified that Lu Zhihui would ruin that blue secret manual.
Fortunately, however.
After Lu Zhihui struck a few times, Uncle Rabbit-Tooth began to beg for mercy.
“I’ll refund the money, won’t that do!”
“That’s more like it.”
Uncle Rabbit-Tooth was now like a tiger fallen to the plains, bullied by dogs.
He could only grit his teeth and swallow his resentment.
Watching as Uncle Rabbit-Tooth refunded the money,
just as he was about to ask Lu Zhihui to return the cultivation technique to him,
“Keep this thing; if you keep it, you’ll only use it to harm others.”
Lu Zhihui said this while tossing the manual into the distance.
“My book!”
Uncle Rabbit-Tooth hadn’t expected Lu Zhihui to throw his book away.
The passersby nearby saw this, but not a single person wanted to go pick up that book.
Mainly because Uncle Rabbit-Tooth had swindled too many people, leading everyone to distrust him.
Uncle Rabbit-Tooth originally wanted to go pick it up, but suddenly remembered the scene of how he had obtained this book.
He had once studied this book himself, only to find the content inside obscure and difficult to understand.
It was simply complete nonsense.
If it hadn’t been stolen from a tomb, he would have thrown it away long ago.
Now it seemed that book really was trash.
He couldn’t understand it, and Lu Zhihui before him couldn’t understand it either.
Although Lu Zhihui’s talent was a bit lacking, he was at least a Master-rank seventh-tier expert.
For someone like that, no matter how poor their comprehension, how bad could it really be?
Seeing that no one went to pick it up,
Chen Hao took a detour and snuck over to where the book was located.
It was nighttime now.
Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to find a book in the bushes.
However, Chen Hao now possessed the SSS-grade talent [Eye of True Sight].
With the help of [Eye of True Sight], that secret manual was as bright as a streetlamp in the dark night.
Chen Hao picked up the manual and turned to leave immediately.
He didn’t go straight home, but deliberately circled the city a few times.
Only after confirming no one was following him did he return home.
Chen Hao entered his room and opened the manual to take a look.
“《Corpse Cultivation》.”
Chen Hao began to read.
He discovered the text inside was ancient script; to read it, he had to first understand the ancient characters.
With no other choice, Chen Hao had to put the book down.
He began researching materials, translating it character by character.
It took him a total of three days to finally finish translating the entire book.
And this was with the help of his [Super Brain] ability.
Chen Hao finally understood why Uncle Rabbit-Tooth, or Lu Zhihui, would think this book was trash.
He began to try cultivating according to his own translation.
Only to find the technique still wouldn’t run smoothly.
“No way, is my comprehension not enough?”
Chen Hao was now like a man with a beautiful woman standing naked before him, only to find that his own "little brother" had no reaction.
