7 Auctioning Martial Arts

"Hmph."

Seeing that Lu Xuan had already left, the martial arts instructor was so angry that he couldn't even say a word after blowing his beard and staring at him.

"Don't be angry, teacher, it's not worth it to be angry over this kind of crap, he'll be kicked out of the academy in five days anyway!" The Third Prince said just in the nick of time.

Long Xue Yao glanced at the Third Prince, who looked like a villainous know-it-all, sighed, shook her head, and went back to her cultivation.

The Academy is located in Tianwu City, less than a few dozen miles from Wushan Town, and it doesn't take long for ordinary martial artists to travel there and back.

So Lu Xuan could just walk home in a dignified manner.

"The aura around here is so thin that even if I return home, I can't practice stably without the Spirit Gathering Formation."

"And the Spirit Gathering Formation also requires a large number of spirit stones to be piled up to be useful."

Lu Xuan's brow furrowed.

In olden times, there was a saying that the rich were poor in literature and rich in martial arts and this was even truer in martial arts.

Money is the key to any cultivation resource.

However, even though Lu Xuan was the only son of a large family, it couldn't provide him with massive amounts of cultivation resources.

"Got it."

A thunderclap flashed through Lu Xuan's brain, he was still too much of a surrogate for the identity of the Lu family's youngest youngster, obviously, he had a treasure mountain, but he spent all day worrying about silver coins.

In his previous life, he was an invincible Martial Emperor.

No matter what advanced technique or martial art, he knew it by heart.

Pill refining, weapon refining, and battle formation are not even a problem.

The slightest slip of the finger could make a small family, a giant of an empire.

He wouldn't hand over a divine technique like the "Immortal Secrets of Immortality". Or even let anyone know that he had such an unorthodox technique. And of course, the "Moving Blood Chapter" wouldn't do either.

I guess I'll have to start with martial arts.

As a great emperor, Lu Xuan is naturally well versed in martial arts.

Of course, you can't take out a martial skill of too high a level, or you're going to attract the attention of so many powers.

The yellow rank is just about right.

The Penetrating Thunder Sword is a perfect choice.

It's a powerful and rare lightning martial art that will sell for a good price!

Lu Xuan immediately found a pen and paper to dictate the secret of the Penetrating Thunder Sword Technique and its stances.

"Great work."

Lu Xuan put away the pen and paper on which was written the secret of the Penetrating Thunder Sword Technique and its stances.

In total, There were four moves. One was more powerful than the other.

The fourth move was four times stronger than the first.

"It's a pity that I can't write out the full version of the Penetrating Thunder Sword Technique." Lu Xuan shook his head.

The complete version of "Penetrating Thunder Sword Technique" was a martial art of the middle grade of the Xuan stage. There were a total of nine moves, one move was stronger than the other. The power of the first four moves was doubled, but after the four moves, each move was improved by leaps and bounds. The ninth movement was eighty times stronger.

"Having these four moves should be enough." After everything was ready, Lu Xuan came to the Void Market

The Void Market here is different from the marketplace of ordinary mortals.

Only martial artists can enter.

The Void Market is divided into many areas: Pill Area, Alchemy Area, Spirit Beast Area, Slave Area, and Auction Area.

It's worth mentioning that the shops in the Pill Area all bear the same logo of a small pot with a silvery-white flame burning on it.

This symbol was familiar to Lu Xuan, it was exactly the same as the token Old Lin had given him, the symbol of the Alchemists Guild.

However, this wasn't the time for a meeting and this wasn't the Alchemist Guild's main camp, a few shops weren't worth a special trip!

Lu Xuan walked into the Void Market and headed straight for the auction area.

A top-grade martial art of the Yellow Rank isn't something that ordinary shops can afford.

Don't look at the fact that this was only the second-lowest martial skill in Lu Xuan's mind. But when placed outside, it was definitely a mighty great martial skill that triggered the thunder of heaven and earth. What a majestic feat!

The strongest martial skill of the Lu Xuan family is only of the middle grade of the Yellow rank, which is already the strongest martial skill in the Borderlands region.

For some small families, a top-grade martial art of the Yellow Rank is already an heirloom.

But Lu Xuan wasn't a fool, He knew the truth.

Before entering the Void Market, he had already launched another martial skill, Disguise.

This is different from a mortal's disguise unless the other party has trained in Pupil Technique or has reached the Xuan Life Realm, it's impossible to see his true face.

But Lu Xuan was wearing a black robe and a mask just to be on the safe side.

Double insurance. Now he's even more confident.

As soon as he walked into the auction area, a pretty-faced maid came over and respectfully said: "How may I help you, sir?"

The maid was not surprised by Lu Xuan's strange attire.

She was used to the oddities of the people who came to the auction house.

"Have your Archdeacon come out." Lu Xuan faintly said.

He altered his voice with real energy to make it sound like he was in his mid-50s.

The maid was shocked that this man had just walked in the door and wanted to see the archdeacon.

"Please wait for a moment. I'll ask the archdeacon for instructions." The maid went backstage in a hurry.

Lu Xuan wasn't in a rush and stood here, looking at the shelves at the entrance.

There were real weapons for martial artists, swords for mortals, and all sorts of things.

A short time later the first maid came out with a middle-aged man in a black robe with gold trim: "Deacon, this is the gentleman."

The Archdeacon looked at Lu Xuan's originally carefree face for a moment.

The black-robed man in front of him was standing in front of him, but it was as if he blended into the world.

And you can't even tell what level of cultivation he is.

If you can't see the other party's cultivation, there are only two possibilities, one is that they are practicing some special techniques to hide their cultivation.

Secondly, the other party's cultivation is higher than yours and more than one realm higher.

And the Archdeacon was a Yellow Life completion only one step away from the Xuan Life realm.

Not even being able to perceive the black-robed man's cultivation at the moment, and coupled with that feeling of a heavenly being, it meant that the other party was stronger than himself and much stronger.

He may be at the ninth level of the Xuan Life Realm or even the Grand Perfection level.

However, the Archdeacon had overlooked the fact that Lu Xuan's cultivation of the Immortal Secrets of Immortality was the only divine technique under the heavens. It was impossible to perceive his true cultivation without being two realms above him.

And the entire empire, not to mention the Earth-Life Realm, even the Xuan Life Realm is a great power.

When he thought of this, the Archdeacon became respectful and came to Lu Xuan and whispered: "Senior, it's not convenient to talk here, please go to the back hall for a chat."

"Mm." Lu Xuan gave a faint response.

The Archdeacon's cultivation has long been obvious to him. It's just a Yellow Life. If it was 3,000 years ago, it wouldn't be worth mentioning.

With his hands behind his back, Lu Xuan strode in.

The Archdeacon was even more certain of his previous suspicions when he saw how defiant he was.

In the back room, it's big and elegant, and there's a fireplace of sandalwood on the wooden table.

Lu Xuan took a sip of the maid's cup of fragrant tea and faintly said: "I have an item that needs to be auctioned off and asked your best treasure masters to come and appraise it for me."

Lu Xuan's predecessor was an Emperor Realm powerhouse, and even ordinary conversations carried a strong air of superiority.

The great deacon felt the unquestionable words of Lu Xuan and didn't dare to be sloppy, so he immediately ordered a treasure master to come.

The treasure master was a goat-bearded old man who shivered in his heart and became respectful when he looked at Lu Xuan.

"Senior I am the chief treasure master of the auction house. I don't know where the item senior wants to appraise is?"

In front of Lu Xuan, a treasure master wouldn't even dare to call himself an old monster of this caliber, probably hundreds of years old.

He's just a few decades old. He's probably just a kid in front of him.

Lu Xuan reached into his bosom and took out the dictation he had written out in silence earlier: "What I want to auction off is this top-grade yellow rank martial skill."

"Yellow rank?"

The Archdeacon stood up at once.

It's been many years since they've seen a martial arts skill of the highest grade.

Most of the martial arts being auctioned are either middle or lower yellow rank.

Of course, there must be a lot of top-grade martial arts of the Yellow Rank in this big auction house. It's just that it's not common for them to be auctioned off so casually.

The Archdeacon and the treasure master began to read the instructions in detail.

Both of them are Yellow Life experts who are more than capable of identifying Yellow Rank Martial Skills.

Soon they both nodded at the same time: "This is indeed a top grade martial skill of the Yellow Rank and what's more, it's the most powerful Lightning martial skill among the five types."

"It's a pity that there are only four moves in total, otherwise this martial art could have reached the lower Xuan grade."

Lu Xuan lightly glanced at the Archdeacon

A pair of ancient and unpredictable eyes stabbed the big deacon's heart with cold air from the tailbone to the skull for a long while. Before hearing Lu Xuan's lightly floating words: "You don't need to test me. it's best not to ask more than you should."

"Yes... I was rash."The Archdeacon's entire body was drenched in a cold sweat as if he'd been pulled out of the water. What's that look in his eyes? It's so terrifying that it could freeze a man's soul.

Seeing that the archdeacon of the same level as himself was trembling with fear, the master of treasure could no longer hold the thought of probing and respectfully said: "According to my preliminary judgment, the starting bid for this martial art should be around 300,000 silver coins, without a ceiling."

"But there's one more question. We'll take 10% of the silver coins from the auction as a brokerage fee, is that appropriate?"

"Yes." Lu Xuan nodded.

In fact, Lu Xuan earned a big profit this time. Normally, the auction house would charge a brokerage fee of 20% to 30%, but Lu Xuan's glance just now scared their guts.

"There's one more thing." Lu Xuan said.
