Chapter 526 - 526: There's More

"Four hundred thousand... Alright then, four hundred thousand it is."

'King Realm Secret Manuals, if taken to auction, would definitely fetch more than this price.' Chu Qingyun thought. 'Back when I was in the Great Xia Kingdom, I saw a King Realm Saber Technique that, even missing its most crucial final section, sold for the high price of nearly forty thousand. And these twenty-nine manuals of mine are all complete.'

However, because there were so many, it would be difficult for him to sell them all off if he really tried, and security would also be an issue. So, Chu Qingyun wasn't concerned about it.

'Over eleven million drops of Primordial Spirit Liquid...'

Just as everyone around was still reeling in shock at that number, Chu Qingyun reached for his Storage Ring again.

Instantly, everyone's eyes went wide.

"Uh, those were just the Secret Manuals. There are also Secret Techniques... six in total, all usable by those in the Martial King Realm."

Six of them!

Secret Techniques usable by those in the Martial King Realm!

The muscles around the eyes of Elder Fang and the other two elders twitched violently.

From the Secret Manuals and Secret Techniques Zhou Jianxiong had presented earlier, it was clear that Secret Techniques were far rarer than Secret Manuals of a similar level.

Rarity determined value.

A smaller quantity naturally meant a higher price for Secret Techniques.

After a careful inspection, Elder Fang and the other two nodded in confirmation. They were legitimate Secret Techniques.

"For the Martial King Realm Secret Techniques, how about eight hundred thousand drops of Primordial Spirit Liquid each?" Elder Fang said, his voice dry.

Chu Qingyun thought for a moment, then nodded. "I'll take a small loss. Eight hundred thousand it is..."

At that, everyone around was left speechless.

He said "eight hundred thousand" as if it were nothing! Chu Qingyun wasn't acting like he was selling Martial King Realm Secret Techniques, but more like he was hawking cabbages and potatoes!

But aside from Mu Xiaoxiao, how could any of them know that Chu Qingyun still had Emperor Realm Secret Manuals and Secret Techniques, and even the Ten Thousand Spirits Sacred Form—a Secret Technique that had become the stuff of legend in the Northern Domain?

Those were the real treasures.

These were merely appetizers.

"Six Martial King Realm Secret Techniques, at eight hundred thousand drops of Primordial Spirit Liquid each, comes to a total of four million, eight hundred thousand drops of Primordial Spirit Liquid."

Elder Fang, once again stunned, calculated the figure.

The King Realm Secret Manuals and the Martial King Realm Secret Techniques combined already amounted to a price of sixteen million, four hundred thousand Primordial Spirit Liquid!

This figure had absolutely, vastly exceeded everyone's expectations.

And this was just for the King Realm items. After this, there were still Emperor Realm Secret Manuals!

Zhou Jianxiong stood to the side, his eyes turning a little red.

Although he was from the royal family of the Qianshui Dynasty, he had never even seen over sixteen million drops of Primordial Spirit Liquid, let alone possessed such a sum.

In comparison, his three thousand Saint Extreme Points seemed like nothing!

As for Qi Hao, he was utterly astonished.

At the same time, he was filled with joyful surprise and anticipation. At this moment, he even felt that no matter what, as long as he stood with Chu Qingyun, he couldn't go wrong.

After the King Realm Secret Manuals and Secret Techniques were tallied, Chu Qingyun waved his hand, clearing a space on the table.

Then, from his Storage Ring, he took out the Emperor Realm Secret Manuals and a Martial Emperor Realm Secret Technique.

"Five Emperor Realm Secret Manuals, and one Secret Technique usable by those in the Martial Emperor Realm."

'There really is more!'

Everyone present was shaken once more.

He even had five Emperor Realm Secret Manuals, and on top of that, a Secret Technique usable in the Martial Emperor Realm.

Beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of Elder Fang and the other two Inner Sect Elders.

If Chu Qingyun had submitted these Secret Manuals and Secret Techniques through the usual channels, the three of them would have been grinning from ear to ear.

But now, they were representing the sect to purchase these Secret Manuals and Secret Techniques.

The previous items already totaled over sixteen million Primordial Spirit Liquid, and now there was so much more!

Emperor Realm Secret Manuals and Martial Emperor Realm Secret Techniques were extremely important.

Even Zhou Qian could no longer just watch from the sidelines. He personally joined in, carefully inspecting the items alongside the three Inner Sect Elders.

The result, naturally, was that there were no issues.

The five Secret Manuals and the Secret Technique were all perfectly complete, and none were duplicates of what the Saint Extreme Sect already possessed.

"The Emperor Realm Secret Manuals... let's say four m-million each. That Secret Technique... eight million. In total... that's twenty-eight million drops of Primordial Spirit Liquid!"

Elder Fang's voice was trembling. After speaking, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his brow.

Ever since becoming an Inner Sect Elder, he had never handled such a massive transaction.

All told, the total was nearly forty-five million drops of Primordial Spirit Liquid!

"Chu Qingyun, this Primordial Spirit Liquid... d-do you want it all now?" Elder Fang asked, looking up.

At this point, Elder Fang had lost all of his high-and-mighty demeanor. Instead, he was treating Chu Qingyun as more of an equal.

However, Chu Qingyun just smiled and said, "Elder Fang, don't be in such a hurry. I still have one more thing here."

'There's more!?'

'He's already brought out all the Emperor Realm Secret Manuals and Secret Techniques.'

'If there's still more after that, then... could it be... Sect Level!?'

Even Zhou Qian was unsettled now, and the breathing of Elder Fang and the other two grew ragged.

At this moment, however, Mu Xiaoxiao secretly frowned.

She knew, of course, that if Chu Qingyun was going to bring out something else, it could only be the Ten Thousand Spirits Sacred Form.

For a moment, Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. She didn't understand why Chu Qingyun would offer something so important to the Saint Extreme Sect.

Anyone could see that although this was a "sale," the Saint Extreme Sect was still getting a considerable bargain.

This was because, under normal circumstances, both King Realm and Emperor Realm Secret Manuals and Secret Techniques were items with a price but no market—they were incredibly difficult to acquire, let alone purchase with Primordial Spirit Liquid.

And that was to say nothing of the Ten Thousand Spirits Saint Body Secret Technique.

A Secret Technique that could be used up to the Martial Sect Realm could absolutely be considered the ultimate treasure of a sect!

But after a moment's thought, Mu Xiaoxiao understood.

For Chu Qingyun, doing this was the only way to truly maximize his benefits.

This was because Chu Qingyun had no powerful faction backing him. At a stretch, one might count the Great Xia Kingdom.

But if he dared to bring the Ten Thousand Spirits Saint Body Secret Technique back to the Great Xia Kingdom, even the slightest leak of its secret would likely cause the entire kingdom to be overthrown in an instant!

A Secret Technique usable even by Martial Sects was simply not something the Great Xia Kingdom, or any dynasty in the Land of Hundred Dynasties, could ever hope to possess!

If Chu Qingyun kept it for himself, it would just be a single Secret Technique to him.

Once he learned it, it would be of no further use.

Therefore, taking the opportunity to sell it to the sect, while perhaps a small loss, was absolutely the safest and most advantageous choice.

After all, even if he sold it to the Saint Extreme Sect, Chu Qingyun could still learn the Secret Technique for free, almost as if the sect were just holding onto it for him.

Besides, a Secret Technique like this would certainly not be taught to just any disciple.

For a Secret Technique of this level, it was likely that not even all Inner Sect Elders would be qualified to practice it, and the number who could truly master it would be even smaller.

So, even if he sold it to the Saint Extreme Sect, it wouldn't affect Chu Qingyun in the slightest.

It wasn't like he'd have the chance to fight an Inner Sect Elder anyway.

Under everyone's burning gazes, Chu Qingyun took a thick, blood-colored secret manual from his Storage Ring. "The Secret Technique that made the Blood Sect famous throughout the Northern Domain: the Ten Thousand Spirits Sacred Form!"
