Some have even offered the astronomical price of fifty thousand taels and been rejected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty thousand taels?!\" Xu Mingxuan was so shocked he knocked over his teacup, tea water splashing on his clothes without him noticing. \"The 'Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual' is only worth seven or eight thousand taels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless this martial art is passed down in a single lineage and this is the only copy in the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if it's truly so treasured, why put it up for sale? Taking a disciple and passing it down wouldn't that be better?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan said, \"The vast majority of martial arts texts are not unique. Copying one to sell is profitable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In Qingjiang County, those with broad connections can buy internal energy secret manuals for a few hundred taels. Country folk spread exaggerated stories and think it requires one or two thousand taels. As for innate martial arts, they're more expensive, but handwritten copies are worth at most four or five thousand taels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, the seller of the 'Innate Dragon Elephant Formula'...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingwei pondered for a moment, then looked up, \"Perhaps he has his own plans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think the same. What he wants is probably not as simple as just silver. So in two days, I plan to make a trip to Liuyun County.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingxuan's eyes rolled, \"Second Brother, take me along.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you need to return to the martial hall?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm already a second-rate martial artist. I could have graduated long ago. The others only stay at the hall temporarily because they can't find good prospects, but our family doesn't lack food for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about Li Zhi?\" Xu Mingwei asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He feels he can get better training at the martial hall. He plans to serve our Xu family after becoming a first-rate martial artist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's very good.\" Xu Mingwei nodded. \"Li Zhi's talent is quite good. If he devotes himself fully to martial dao, in three or four years he'll probably become a first-rate martial artist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That would help our family even more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, where's Father?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan suddenly realized he hadn't seen Xu Chuan since returning and only now asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingshu laughed, \"Second Brother, you only now remember Father? I really feel sad for Father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was concerned about my eldest nephew and forgot. So where is Father?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingxian said, \"He's residing in the bamboo house at Jade Cold Pool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's he doing there?\" Xu Mingyuan was somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secluded cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingxian was concise and rarely spoke nonsense, but then added, \"Father said not to disturb him unless there's something important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan stroked his chin, brilliance flashing in his eyes, \"Speaking of which, Father also cultivates the 'Lesser Dragon Elephant Technique'. What level is he at now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He didn't start practicing martial arts until he was nearly twenty-six. It's been twelve or thirteen years now. He should be at second-rate martial artist, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What second-rate martial artist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already attempting to break through to the innate realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingwei said with a laughing scold, \"Why are you asking so much? Don't tell me you want to spar with Father?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, I wouldn't dare. When his face darkens, I tremble with fright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan grinned cheekily, causing Bai Jing and the others to burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still trembling? Among the group, you were the one who most liked to cling to your father since childhood. When knocked down by the big rooster, you'd wail and cry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Jing recounted an embarrassing story from Xu Mingyuan's childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This again caused everyone to laugh and cry at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother, I have my pride too.\" Xu Mingyuan also felt embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan took Xu Mingxuan, Chen Daniu, and two second-rate martial artist guards to Liuyun County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liuyun County was only a two-hour carriage ride from Qingjiang, but the streets and markets were more chaotic than Qingjiang. Dust flew everywhere, and occasionally drunks could be seen sleeping against earthen walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan tossed a few copper coins to street corner children and learned the seller resided at the White Poplar Inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inn's facade was mottled, with a faded wine flag hanging under the eaves, flapping noisily in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four sat idly in the inn's tea room for half a day. Only when dusk fell did they see a burly man with a full beard crushing the sunset as he returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a black cloak with a ring-pommel saber hanging at his waist, its guard encrusted with verdigris, and his boot soles were stained with dark red soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you the one seeking the 'Innate Dragon Elephant Formula'?\" The burly man led everyone to a second-floor guest room. The interior was sparsely furnished, with only a damaged painting of \"Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain\" hanging on the wall, its ink strokes vigorous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's correct. My family happened to obtain the 'Lesser Dragon Elephant Technique'. My elder brother has cultivated to the peak of the Postnatal realm and is only one step away from the innate realm, so we've been searching for the follow-up cultivation method.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man's face was covered with a full beard, his build robust, looking fierce and menacing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and after a moment of silence said, \"What price are you willing to offer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I ask whether what you have is the original or a handwritten copy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What if it's the original? What if it's a handwritten copy?\" The burly man's tone suddenly turned cold, his knuckles rapping the wooden table with thudding sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan stood up and pushed open the carved wooden window, gazing at the bustling crowds below, and said lightly, \"Originals are precious and generally have special significance. We don't insist on it. A handwritten copy will suffice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What I have is the original.\" The bearded man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The original? Did you obtain it by chance, or are you one of the scattered disciples of the former Dragon Elephant Sect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bearded man's pupils constricted, his voice beginning to carry icy intent, \"Is that any concern of yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of inspiration struck Xu Mingyuan as he guessed the other party's identity, \"If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the former Dragon Elephant Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the reason you won't sell even for fifty thousand taels is probably because you harbor thoughts of re-establishing the Dragon Elephant Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I advise you to abandon that idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even though over ten years have passed, who knows if the Dragon Elephant Sect's enemies still remember that name? Once you show yourself and are reported by someone with ulterior motives, it will likely bring disaster again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're that certain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan turned around and replied with a smile, \"My intuition has always been accurate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that were the case, what would you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Xu family has come only for a handwritten copy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bearded man pondered briefly, \"What price is the Xu family willing to offer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, they returned to the initial question but Xu Mingyuan had already roughly determined from the previous conversation what the other party wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll help you establish a Dragon Elephant Martial Hall to inherit the Dragon Elephant Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bearded man's heart trembled, showing surprise, with traces of temptation flickering in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, a simple martial hall definitely can't support itself. It must be self-sufficient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How to be self-sufficient?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unknowingly, the bearded man had already entered Xu Mingyuan's rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was socially adept, his ability to gauge people's hearts leaving Xu Mingxuan and Chen Daniu dumbstruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must know this was the first time meeting this person, who was also very guarded. Countless people had returned defeated from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Worthy of being my second brother.\" Xu Mingxuan felt secretly proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure enough, the gap in talent is difficult to make up for.\" Chen Daniu also sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These past few months, following Xu Mingyuan and working, he had learned quite a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father, Chen Ergou, had been assigned as the shopkeeper of a fruit shop in the county seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan smiled lightly, \"This can't be explained clearly in just a few words. Moreover, it requires considerable manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and still needs my Xu family head's approval.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, if you're willing, why not move to stay at my Xu residence for a few days to discuss this matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bearded man naturally knew opening a martial hall wasn't simple. After pondering, he asked, \"The Xu family, which Xu family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qingjiang County, the Xu family.\" Xu Mingyuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Daniu also had the sense to immediately introduce them, \"This is my Xu family's Second Young Master, Xu Mingyuan, and this is Third Young Master Xu Mingxuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1535,"2026-06-06T10:09:39.136Z",1,"novelbin.me","abbcda0fb0924fa8db4bcb0f7026527c46fbf427fa1e183cea7b48d9ef8cdd33","starting-from-the-blood-lineage-genealogy-to-bui-chapter-37","starting-from-the-blood-lineage-genealogy-to-bui-chapter-35",454,null]
