This fellow!
His intuition is f*cking terrifying.
Su Jingxing was inwardly shocked, but the aura he exuded remained calm and did not stir at all.
âThe next second, he turned around and prepared to leave.
If he continued to stay here, who knew how many more secrets would be revealed, forcing him to fight Lu Wuchang.
He was a third-grade martial artist. If there was no need, Su Jingxing didnât want to become enemies with him.
âWait!â
Seeing that Su Jingxing was about to leave, Lu Wuchang quickly said, âI know the secret of the stone tablets! On three legacy stone tablets, thereâs a breathing technique recorded on one, an ancient military manual on the other, and a secret heavenly secret art on the last!â
Is this fellow for real?
âThe breathing technique had already been verified. Su Jingxing couldnât be certain about the military manual and heavenly secret art.
If that was true.
âHow do you know all this?â
Su Jingxing turned his head and asked in a low voice.
âPhew~â
Lu Wuchang heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he raised his eyebrows and grinned. âBecause Iâve read Yue Dongliuâs Martial Sageâs Manuscript. Although Yue Dongliu, the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, kept a low profile, he left behind a manuscript and it has been passed down to this day.
âThis manuscript just so happens to contain the secret of the legacy stone tablets and some uses of Martial Art True Intent.
âYes, Iâm very honored. Iâve made a copy. As for the original, itâs in the Xia Familyâs hands.
âIf you are willing to make a deal with me, Iâm willing to give this manuscript to you. Apart from that, Iâll also give you the two new Soul Nurturing Stones.â
Lu Wuchang looked very sincere.
Su Jingxing kept quiet.
It wasnât because the last two Soul Nurturing Stones were in Lu Wuchangâs hands, but because the information this fellow had revealed was too shocking.
The Martial Sageâs Manuscript!
This was equivalent to his notes or diary.
It was written by a Martial Sage when he was still alive during his rising.
For example, some cultivation insights, understanding of martial arts, or the use of a secret ability.
Anything was possible.
There was indeed a chance that the secret of the three legacy stone tablets would be recorded.
After all, Yue Dongliu, the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, was too low-profiled. Other than a few people, most people did not know his personality.
In addition, the stone tablet that Su Jingxing had obtained did indeed contain the Full Moon Breathing Technique.
In other words, Lu Wuchang was telling the truth!
He really had Yue Dongliuâs manuscript in his hands.
In other words, the information recorded on the other two stone tablets was not martial arts, but a military manual, and heavenly secret art!
At this thought, Su Jingxing turned around and asked in a low voice again.
âHow do you know that the stone tablet is in my hands?â
âWellâ¦â Lu Wuchang pondered for a moment and said seriously,â Before answering the question, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lu Wuchang and Iâm from the Lu Family of Ci En Bank. You might have heard of me because Iâm quite famous both at home and outside. â
âTo the outside world, Iâm a martial arts genius. To the inside, Iâm a born talent.
âThe reason is because I have a special talent, super strong intuition!
âLam able to foretell luck and calamity and determine the authenticity of things.
âHowever, the truth is that my talent is passive, and there are restrictions to it.
âFor example, someone is 50 kilometers away, plotting to kill me. I wonât know that when Iâm here. Iâll only be alerted when the other party enters Qinghe City and is within a few hundred meters of me.
âIf I take the initiative to foresee it, Iâll have to expend my lifespan.
âThatâs right, you didnât hear wrongly. This talent of mine, if I forcefully order it around, there will be severe side effects and my lifespan will be shortened!â
As he spoke, a ball of true energy emerged from Lu Wuchangâs palm and he swiped it across his head.
The night wind blew.
The hair on the left side of Lu Wuchangâs head turned snow white.
One-fifth of his hair had turned white.
âSee that? This is the consequence of actively using my talent.â
Lu Wuchang pointed at his white hair and chuckled. âNo one else knows the drawback of my talent. Every single strand of these hairs turned white once I used my talent.â
âEveryone outside says that Iâm one of the elites of this generation. I advanced to the third-grade before 40 years old.
âBut they have no idea what Iâve lost to be here today.
âCompared to those true freaks, Iâm actually not even a genius!â
Su Jingxing remained silent.
Amoment later, he asked, âWhy are you telling me this?â
âBecause I have a request!â
Lu Wuchang stared at Su Jingxing and said seriously, âI want to make a deal with you and obtain the three legacy stone tablets. One of them contains a heavenly secret art!
âOn the surface, I came to Qinghe City because my nephew, who had turned into a vegetable, begged me time and time again. Thatâs why I had no choice but to come. In reality, my actual goal is the heavenly secret art!
âOf course, before this, I didnât know that what I wanted was the heavenly secret art. I only knew that there was something in Qinghe City that was very important to me.
âIt somehow guided me here.
âIncluding tracking you earlier, it was also a mysterious guidance.
âUnder this guidance, another strand of hair turned white. As the price, I received a notification to wait on the roof of a building on your flight path.
âThe first person to fly over the top of the building is the person I want to make a deal with!â
And this still isnât using a hack?
Even though thereâs a price to pay, such an ability is still astonishing.
Su Jingxing sighed inwardly, but his external aura remained unchanged.
âWhat deal do you want to make with me?â asked Su Jingxing.
âLet me borrow the stone tablet.â
Lu Wuchang quickly explained, âThe stone tablet that records the heavenly secret art is with the Changyang Prefecture Army. I canât get close to it, let alone comprehend it. However, after some negotiation, they are willing to let me trade for it using another stone tablet.â
âIn other words, youâre going to take the stone tablet in my possession to exchange for the one with the Prefecture Army?â Su Jingxing found it amusing.
âYes.â
Lu Wuchang replied frankly, âI donât know if you have already studied the stone tablet and obtained the military manual or the breathing technique.
âIf you have already obtained it, I hope you can make a deal with me. The Martial Sageâs Manuscript and two Soul Nurturing Stones will be my remuneration. Of course, if you think the remuneration is insufficient, we can negotiate it again.â
âIf you havenât figured it out yet, you can go back to do that first. Thereâs no hurry. Of course, if you canât, I hope you can tell me the truth and make a deal with me. The remuneration can still be negotiated.
âIf the deal is struck and the exchange is done, I can also let you study it first and obtain the secret heavenly art.
âI donât mind you learning the heavenly secret art too, because that would be equivalent to having another companion to discuss and communicate with. I canât be happier!â
You sure are happy!
Su Jingxing could tell that this fellow wasnât lying.
Furthermore, it was indeed not a bad thing to get a heavenly secret art without doing anything.
No matter what, he would only benefit.
At this thought, Su Jingxing said indifferently, âWhy didnât you borrow the stone tablet from the Martial Suppression Office?â
Thatâs right, it was just an exchange of stone tablets.
The one in Su Jingxingâs hand could work, so could the one in Bu Qingâs possession.
Why did Lu Wuchang only look for Su Jingxing?
