Chapter 7

Thinking of it, Chu Xingyun immediately fetched a brush and ink, slowly recalling a palm technique called "Nine Layers of Green Waves."

"Nine Layers of Green Waves" is ranked as a mid-level Spirit Class technique, which is already the lowest level of martial arts in Chu Xingyun's memory. If not for the relatively ingenious palm technique, he would have long forgotten about it.

I remember that the Water Family's clan martial arts are also at the mid-level Spirit Class. This set of "Nine Layers of Green Waves" should be considered top-notch martial arts in Westwind City, and the price should not be too low.

In the territory of the Flowing Cloud Imperial Dynasty, Westwind City is located in the northwest, merely a small border town with limited cultivation resources.

Most martial artists only practice Human Class martial arts, and only the major families possess Spirit Class martial arts, which they never pass on to outsiders, treating them as clan treasures.

It's no exaggeration to say that a single Spirit Class martial art is enough to break the power balance among the major families. Even the City Lord's residence would be tempted to buy it.

With an excited heart, Chu Xingyun wrote down the cultivation method of "Nine Layers of Green Waves" on paper and also drew the nine palm techniques.

This process was no longer easy.

Although Chu Xingyun's standards are high, the spiritual energy in his body is too thin. Each time he drew a palm technique, he would exhaust all his spiritual energy, making the progress very slow.

It took him a whole half day to finish drawing all nine palm techniques of "Nine Layers of Green Waves." His entire back was drenched in sweat, and he lay on the ground, panting heavily.

With my current abilities, I can barely draw a mid-level Spirit Class martial art. If I forcibly draw a more advanced martial art, I might suffer a backlash of spiritual energy and be seriously injured on the spot.

Martial arts are not just simple drawings and text.

To perfectly copy a set of martial arts, one needs not only a large amount of spiritual energy but also the martial arts' essence. Otherwise, even if the martial arts are copied, they would only be superficial, and outsiders would not be able to practice them.

Fortunately, Chu Xingyun was a Martial Emperor in his previous life, with deep experience. If it were anyone else, attempting to copy a mid-level Spirit Class martial art at the third level of Body Tempering would be a death sentence.

I remember that a low-level Human Class martial art can sell for a thousand silver taels, and a mid-level Spirit Class martial art should be worth around ten thousand silver taels. Chu Xingyun mumbled to himself and directly left the inner space of the Reincarnation Stone.

He did not rush to leave the courtyard but found a large black robe before heading out the door.

Young Master, where are you going so late at night? Chu Hu saw Chu Xingyun and asked.

I'm going to Westwind City. Chu Xingyun paused and instructed: This trip might take a while, so don't worry about me. If Chu Yang and the others come, tell them I'm in seclusion and must not conflict with them.

Alright, I'll do as you say, Young Master. Chu Hu nodded and watched Chu Xingyun leave.

Leaving the courtyard, Chu Xingyun put on the black robe and quietly left Chu Town, entering the brightly lit Westwind City.

Although it was night, Westwind City was still bustling with many martial artists coming and going. There were also many people in black robes, and no one noticed Chu Xingyun.

Following his memory, Chu Xingyun passed through several streets and arrived at the market.

The market is a paradise for martial artists, divided into three areas: the trading area, the auction area, and the martial combat area.

The Flowing Cloud Imperial Dynasty has a total of sixty-four cities, each with a market.

It is said that each market is secretly protected by a force, so the management is particularly strict, with many experts and strong martial artists. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be instantly killed.

Entering the market, Chu Xingyun headed straight for the Westwind Auction House.

The Westwind Auction House is the largest auction house in Westwind City. The top martial artists of Westwind City often appear here. To maximize the value of "Nine Layers of Green Waves," he must choose the Westwind Auction House.

Hello, may I help you with something? As soon as he entered the Westwind Auction House, a provocatively dressed, sexy attendant walked up, not surprised by Chu Xingyun's attire.

I have a set of martial arts that I want to auction. Please have the manager of your auction house come and see me. Chu Xingyun lowered his voice and said casually.

He was originally a world-renowned supreme expert, and the aura of a strong martial artist naturally emanated from him without any effort.

The attendant's expression changed slightly. Upon hearing that he wanted to auction martial arts, she became much more respectful. Feeling the aura of a strong martial artist emanating from Chu Xingyun, she quickly bowed.

If you don't mind, please wait in the VIP room. I will immediately inform the manager. After saying this, the attendant opened a door and hurriedly went to report.

Chu Xingyun was not in a hurry and walked into the VIP room to wait quietly.

Soon, the attendant also entered the VIP room, accompanied by an elderly man in a luxurious brocade robe. The attendant whispered a few words to the elderly man, pointing at Chu Xingyun.

You may leave. The elderly man nodded, dismissing the attendant. Then he walked up to Chu Xingyun, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and noticed that the black-robed man before him was only at the third level of Body Tempering, causing his expression to darken.

No questions asked, no inquiries about background—these eight words are the golden rule of the Westwind Auction House. Now, it seems to disappoint me. Chu Xingyun suddenly stood up, flicked his sleeve, and was about to leave.

Hold it! The elderly man quickly blocked Chu Xingyun, his face showing some difficulty. I am the manager of the Westwind Auction House, Meng Qing. I apologize for my earlier actions. Please do not hold it against me, sir.

When Chu Xingyun spoke, his aura was unparalleled, with a hint of superiority, making Meng Qing's heart tremble, and he immediately stopped investigating.

Clearly, Chu Xingyun deliberately emitted this aura to intimidate Meng Qing.

After all, he was auctioning a mid-level Spirit Class martial art, and the more mysterious he appeared, the more advantageous it would be.

Hearing that you want to auction a set of martial arts, may I ask what level this martial art is? Seeing that Chu Xingyun did not leave, Meng Qing secretly sighed in relief, already treating Chu Xingyun as a mysterious and reclusive expert.

As for the third level of Body Tempering, he did not care. Reclusive experts often have very peculiar temperaments, and hiding their cultivation level is not uncommon.

Chu Xingyun reached into his sleeve and directly took out "Nine Layers of Green Waves," handing it to Meng Qing.

The martial art I want to auction is this mid-level Spirit Class palm technique. Chu Xingyun's tone was calm.

Meng Qing had just taken "Nine Layers of Green Waves" and was startled by Chu Xingyun's words. This mysterious expert was actually auctioning a mid-level Spirit Class martial art.

He took a deep breath, carefully unfolded the paper, and studied it meticulously.

After a long time, Meng Qing finally looked up from the paper, looking at Chu Xingyun with a flattering smile. This palm technique is indeed a mid-level Spirit Class. Based on my judgment, the starting bid should be set at 200,000 silver taels. What do you think?
