Chapter 94: Could This Book Be the Legendary One Hiding
Facing Lu Yang's skilled false accusation and framing, Meng Jingzhou retorted disdainfully: "What did I scare away? Didn't you hear him say that you will have cause and effect entanglement with immortals in the future."
"Maybe it's because you did something that angered both men and gods, and the immortals united to suppress you!"
Lu Yang waved his hand: "Impossible. I have always had a count in my heart for my behavior and will not do such extreme things. It must be Luo Bu's excuse for making it up."
The two threw the pot at each other, firmly refusing to admit that it was their own problem.
Seeing Man Gu opened his mouth, wanting to say whether it was the problem of the two of you, but in the end, he didn't say it.
After a few days of contact, Lan Ting gradually became familiar with the speaking style of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, and treated their arguments as a breeze.
"Look, ahead is the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce. I'll take you to stroll around!"
At the entrance of the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce, there was a small fat pig holding a coin in its hand, which was the classic mascot of the Chamber of Commerce.
Lu Yang had long heard of the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce and wanted to stroll around.
The interior of the Chamber of Commerce was low-key, revealing taste everywhere, which was completely different from the decoration style of the Chamber of Commerce that suddenly became rich and tried hard to show off its wealth.
The Landing Money Chamber of Commerce didn't need to show off, and its own name already explained everything.
In the Central Continent, the name of the world's number one Chamber of Commerce was known to everyone.
The goods listed inside the Chamber of Commerce dazzled Seeing Man Gu. There were pills refined by masters, spiritual treasures forged by craftsmen with painstaking efforts, natural treasures dug from dangerous places, and runes and formations evolved from simple to complex...
Seeing Man Gu saw the marked price and felt that he was a poor man who couldn't afford anything.
Seeing Man Gu found that Meng Jingzhou and Lan Ting walked through the Chamber of Commerce, walking leisurely, without worrying about the price, which could be understood.
But he also found that Lu Yang, who had the same status as himself, was also indifferent to the price, which was very surprising.
Seeing Man Gu asked quietly: "Brother Lu, the things here are expensive, and I can't afford them."
Seeing Man Gu, of course, couldn't afford anything. He meant that he couldn't afford the things that looked very powerful and suitable for the Foundation Establishment stage.
Lu Yang looked at Seeing Man Gu in surprise: "Buy? Why buy things here? Look at these pills and magic treasures. They look gorgeous and expensive, but they are actually vases. In terms of practicality, how can they compare to the things produced by the sect?"
Seeing Man Gu nodded. This was the truth. The sect's fried dough sticks were cheap, strong, and chewy. More than a month had passed, and the fried dough stick Lu Yang gave Meng Jingzhou still had half left.
"Besides, if you don't have money, won't you make money? With our status, we can make money by selling things casually. Look, I'll demonstrate one for you."
After saying that, Lu Yang found a waiter standing quietly on the side: "Ask, do you accept spells here?"
The waiter said politely: "Hello, we accept them, but we only accept those that the Chamber of Commerce doesn't have. We have all the common cultivation methods here. May I ask if you are selling cultivation methods?"
Lu Yang nodded: "I have a transformation spell here, which can also attack while transforming. It is the secret of my family."
The waiter was very surprised. He had worked here for ten years and had never heard of such a transformation spell.
"Please go this way. There is an auction today, and the appraisal master Yang Xuanling is sitting here. Please ask him to appraise the value of your transformation spell."
The four were invited to a room. In the room, an old man wearing glasses was looking down at a book, old and senile, looking like
An attendant whispered a few words in Yang Xuanling's ear.
"Oh? There's such a technique? I understand, you may withdraw."
"Yes." The attendant bowed and backed out of the room.
"The four of you, I heard you have a transformation technique here that allows one to attack while transforming?"
"That is correct." Lu Yang took out his "Lu Family Mimicry Fist."
Yang Xuanling fell silent for a moment: "... If my eyes haven't failed me to the point of misreading, doesn't the book say Mimicry Fist?"
Lu Yang stepped forward, crossed out the three characters for "Mimicry Fist" on the cover, and wrote "Transformation Technique."
"Now it's a transformation technique."
It was the first time Yang Xuanling had encountered someone who named things so casually; having worked in this line of business for so long, he truly could encounter all sorts of people.
Yang Xuanling slowly flipped through the pages, analyzing it word by word, and said angrily: "Isn't this just Mimicry Fist!"
"How could that be?" Lu Yang was very surprised, "This is definitely a transformation technique, look, I'll demonstrate it for you!"
Lu Yang performed a set of Mimicry Fist on the spot, transforming from Seeing Man Gu into Meng Jingzhou, then into a tiger demon, striking with magnificent momentum; it looked quite powerful.
Yang Xuanling stared with wide eyes for a long time, but simply could not understand how Lu Yang had transformed.
What he performed was indeed Mimicry Fist, the process was exactly the same as what was written in the book, and the other party had not secretly used any magic techniques.
How should this be priced?
Yang Xuanling stroked his beard, looking as if he had completely understood: "This transformation technique of yours is indeed quite interesting. It would be a waste to just place it outside as a general commodity. How about taking this transformation technique to be auctioned? There will be an auction shortly."
"That works."
At the auction venue, Lu Yang saw an old acquaintance.
It was none other than Chi Xulong, who had mastered the Divine Art of Spitting Stones.
Chi Xulong did not disguise himself; just as he had introduced himself before, he was flamboyant in his actions and disliked disguises.
With his cultivation base, he could be ranked in the entire Yanjiang Prefecture; he truly did not need to disguise himself.
Sitting next to Chi Xulong was a person in black robes; Lu Yang guessed that the other party was the assassin Shen Jinyi.
Lu Yang took the initiative to sit next to Chi Xulong. Seeing the other party wearing a childish tofu mask, Chi Xulong gave a cold, disdainful snort.
For some reason, he felt very angry when he saw the other party.
An elegantly dressed auctioneer walked onto the stage. He appeared to be professionally trained; without using any cultivation power, his voice was still resonant, and the entire venue could hear him clearly.
"Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you all for coming to show your support. Without further ado, let us begin immediately."
"The first auction item today is three Foundation Establishment Pills."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue became restless; they hadn't expected the auction to start with such a heavyweight item.
Most of those attending the auction were in the mid-to-late Qi Condensation stage; those in the early Qi Condensation stage knew their financial resources were limited and would not participate in the auction.
Even Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were tempted; who didn't have a junior in the Qi Condensation stage in their family?
Lu Yang did not.
He thought about it and discovered that among the people he knew, he seemed to have the lowest cultivation base.
When the ancient ancestors opened up the path of cultivation, they naturally did not rely on external objects and performed Foundation Establishment themselves, but that method of Foundation Establishment carried extreme risks, and no one knew how many people died in the process.
Later, someone developed the Foundation Establishment Pill, which could improve the efficiency of Foundation Establishment. The Foundation Establishment Pill not only increased the success rate but also ensured that no hidden dangers would be left behind after failure, or that one's cultivation base would not regress.
Even Lan Ting, a disciple of the Immortal Palace, took a Foundation Establishment Pill when she performed Foundation Establishment.
She asked via voice transmission: "Did you use Foundation Establishment Pills when you performed Foundation Establishment?"
Lu Yang shook his head: "Our philosophy on taking elixirs is relatively advanced. When performing Foundation Establishment, we directly consume the raw materials of the Foundation Establishment Pill, using our own bodies as the pill furnace to refine the raw materials, allowing the medicinal effects to be thoroughly dissolved into the meridians."
"Through research, we discovered that this method has the highest absorption efficiency for medicinal effects."
"When the Seventh Elder of the Pill Cauldron Peak was young, in order to reach this conclusion, he repeatedly performed Foundation Establishment one hundred times; the data is absolutely reliable."
"At the time, the Seventh Elder even earned the title of 'Strongest Foundation Establishment Stage.' Later, because his foundation was too solid, the Core Formation process was exceptionally painful, just like having gallstones."
Lan Ting: "..."
While the two were talking, the three Foundation Establishment Pills had already been auctioned off.
"Next to be auctioned is a book on transformation techniques." The auctioneer took out the book Lu Yang had just consigned.
Lu Yang gave a light "Oh," and muttered to himself in a voice just loud enough for Chi Xulong to hear: "Could this book be the legendary one that hides..."
Chi Xulong, who had originally been uninterested in this book, perked up.
