Chapter 43 What news is worth 100 million?

After everyone left the private room, Lu Tao was invited over alone by Shopkeeper Feng.

"Shopkeeper Feng, are you rich?"

The two became more familiar with each other, and Lu Tao spoke much more casually.

Shopkeeper Feng twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I really want to trade chopsticks with you, but I have another deal to discuss with you."

"Another deal?"

Lu Tao was slightly stunned and asked: "What deal?"

"I'm going to sell you a piece of news, a piece of news that should be priceless to you." Shopkeeper Feng looked at Lu Tao with a smile and gave up.

Lu Tao was speechless. The Riddler was the most annoying.

Lu Tao asked directly: "What news? Isn't it related to Honghua Valley?"

"No, it's about your... future, the news about how high you can reach in the future."

Shopkeeper Feng looked a little serious when he said this.

When Lu Tao heard this, his expression became much more solemn. He was determined to be the strongest person, so he naturally cared about the news that Shopkeeper Feng said, "Shopkeeper Feng, just tell me, how much is it?"

Shopkeeper Feng slowly raised a finger and then spit out a number, "One hundred million."

Lu Tao's eyes widened instantly and he looked at Shopkeeper Feng in shock. He was speechless for a long time and even couldn't help but want to turn around and leave.

100 million for one message?

This is a money grab.

However, Lu Tao's understanding of the martial arts world was very limited, and Shopkeeper Feng said it was related to his future. Lu Tao could only resist the urge to leave and asked: "What specific news? You can't just tell me nothing. Let me pay first?"

"No, I'll tell you first and then you pay."

Shopkeeper Feng smiled lightly and said, "I believe that after hearing this news, you will definitely feel that it is worth the price, unless... you already knew it."

Hearing what Shopkeeper Feng said, Lu Tao's curiosity was piqued, "Okay, tell me, if it's really worth the price, Lu will never refuse."

"Before we talk about the deal, let me ask you a question. What are your qualifications?"

As if worried that Lu Tao would suspect him of having ulterior motives, Shopkeeper Feng added: "If your qualifications don't meet the requirements, then this news is worthless to you."

"Excellent quality?" Lu Tao replied weakly.

Shopkeeper Feng's mouth twitched, feeling that Lu Tao didn't trust him, so he said in a deep voice: "Lu Tao, I sincerely do business with you, I have no other ideas."

"How about you tell me what qualifications are required? I'll see if I meet them."

Lu Tao hesitated before saying this, as if he was worried about offending Shopkeeper Feng. Lu Tao added: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's mainly... I have no choice but to ask you to understand."

Lu Tao couldn't help it. He was indeed of the highest quality. What could he do?

He has already said it, but the key is that shopkeeper Feng doesn't believe it, and there's nothing he can do about it.

Shopkeeper Feng nodded to express his understanding and said: "At least you need the best qualifications."

Lu Tao sighed silently.

This again involves his knowledge blind spot.

In terms of qualifications, he only knew an ordinary person. Lu Tao had to ask: "Excuse me, how much is the difference between top-level qualifications and ordinary ones?"

Shopkeeper Feng glanced at Lu Tao silently, and then replied after a while: "The martial arts world's talents and skills are somewhat similar. They are divided into four grades: ordinary grade, good grade, top grade and heavenly grade. Each grade is divided into upper, middle and lower grades. "

Calculated in this way, the ordinary grade is just four grades away from the best grade.

Lu Tao briefly thought about it. The dust-removing pill he refined with a little grass blade before could improve his qualifications by two levels. Now that he has a whole plant of dust-removing grass, it shouldn't be a problem to upgrade him to four levels, right?

That's right, after about ten days of cultivation, the grass roots finally began to sprout. As long as you buy the spiritual liquid, they can grow and mature quickly.

Lu Tao nodded decisively and said, "I've achieved it."

"..."

Shopkeeper Feng was speechless. For some reason, after this exchange, he felt that what Lu Tao said before was true, but his talent was not that high.

However, since Lu Tao said it was achieved, Shopkeeper Feng continued the transaction.

Shopkeeper Feng thought for a moment and then asked slowly: "Lu Tao, you know that there are nine realms in the martial arts world, right?"

"Yes, this is recognized and everyone knows it."

Lu Tao was curious why shopkeeper Feng suddenly mentioned this issue.

Then I heard Shopkeeper Feng say: "Actually, in addition to these nine realms, the martial arts world also has a hidden realm. However, this realm is only known to some big forces, and very few people can achieve it, and those who can do it , there is no one without peerless beauty.”

Without waiting for Lu Tao to ask, Shopkeeper Feng continued: "This realm is called the marrow refining realm."

"Marrow refining?"

Upon hearing the name of this realm, Lu Tao instantly thought of the first four realms of martial arts training, and blurted out: "Senior, did you say that there is a marrow refining realm after the internal organs refining?"

"Yes, this realm is mainly about refining the bone marrow, spinal cord, and brain. The marrow refining realm can not only have the same strength as the innate realm, but also improve the talent."

Shopkeeper Feng pointed to his head and said: "This talent not only refers to physical qualifications, but also includes understanding. When you cultivate this realm to perfection and then advance to the innate realm, your strength will be even stronger than the geniuses of the same level. "

"Do you think this news is worth 100 million?"

"value!"

Lu Tao nodded heavily.

He knew too little about the martial arts world. If Shopkeeper Feng hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known there was such a realm.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the strength of this realm is actually the same as the innate realm, which is equivalent to one more realm than others for nothing.

Lu Tao asked directly: "Senior, how can I advance to the realm of marrow refining?"

He knew that generally speaking, after the Zang-refining realm was completed, one could find a way to break through to the innate realm and directly skip the marrow-refining realm. Without special methods, one would definitely not be able to enter the marrow-refining realm.

Seeing that the transaction was about to be successful, Shopkeeper Feng couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face and said: "It shouldn't be difficult for you to advance to the realm of marrow refining. You only need to create a body-training technique that is above the local low-grade, and then..."

"etc."

Before Shopkeeper Feng finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Lu Tao, who asked with some uncertainty: "Senior, what level do you mean? Earth level lower level?"

"good."

Shopkeeper Feng nodded and asked doubtfully: "What? Is it difficult? I think you created your own low-grade Xuan-level technique in just a few days. Even if the lower-grade Earth-level technique is a bit high, you should be able to create it if you spend more time. Bar?"

"..."

Lu Tao was speechless.

He found that Shopkeeper Feng had more confidence in him than he did himself.

However, his self-created technique requires experience to upgrade. The upper level of Xuan level already requires 1 trillion experience, and the lower level of Earth level requires 100 trillion experience.

Based on his previous calculation, it took him two and a half hours to gain 100 million experience points. It would take him 2.5 million hours to gain 100 million experience points by himself alone.

He simply couldn't do it.

Moreover, this is only for the low-level earth level. The middle-level skills for the earth level require 1 trillion experience points. As for the heaven level...

Lu Tao didn't even dare to think about it.

Just because it requires so much experience, Lu Tao had the idea of ​​establishing a sect.

As for now.

If he wanted to advance to the realm of marrow refining, Lu Tao could not meet the first condition.

Seemingly seeing that Lu Tao was in trouble, shopkeeper Feng frowned, wondering if he had overestimated Lu Tao's understanding, and then reminded him: "If you can't make your own, you can still buy it."

"???"

Lu Tao looked at Shopkeeper Feng with a look of resentment, and there were countless things in his heart that he couldn't express.

"You said you could buy it earlier, but you made me worry for a long time."

Lu Tao resisted the urge to complain and continued to ask: "What happens after you have the technique?"

"With the skills, you need to understand the skills to a perfect level, then practice the other four realms to the extreme, and then gather the power of Qi, blood, bone strength and the five elements to refine the bones of the whole body. When you reach a certain After reaching the critical point, you can break through to the realm of marrow refining in an instant.”

Shopkeeper Feng finished explaining the conditions and methods for promotion to the Marrow Refining Realm in one breath, and then emphatically reminded: "Of course there is a prerequisite. Your qualifications must be top-notch or above."

He still had some doubts about Lu Tao's qualifications.

"That's it."

Lu Tao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that very few people could advance to the realm of marrow refining. The requirements were indeed too high.

Whether it is qualifications or understanding, they must be very high, and you can't do it if you lack either.

"This news is indeed worth 100 million, thank you senior."

Lu Tao decisively took out two thousand pairs of chopsticks and placed them in front of Shopkeeper Feng. He was very satisfied with the news and did not think it was expensive.

Shopkeeper Feng looked at the chopsticks in front of him and thought that Lu Tao's qualifications might not be up to standard. He felt a little embarrassed to accept the reward. He couldn't help but ask again: "Lu Tao, are your qualifications really top-notch?"

"Don't worry, if you don't meet the standard, why would I be willing to give you 100 million silver for nothing."

Shopkeeper Feng saw that Lu Tao didn't seem to be lying, so he believed him and accepted the chopsticks.

Then, Shopkeeper Feng thought for a moment and took out another bone and handed it to Lu Tao, saying, "Didn't you want to buy high-level monster bones before? This one is for you."

Lu Tao's eyes instantly lit up and he asked eagerly: "What realm are you in?"

"Grandmaster realm."

When Lu Tao heard this, his face was full of excitement. He was actually at the master level. With this bone, he would gain experience a hundred times faster.

"Thank you, senior. Thank you very much."

Lu Tao directly held Shopkeeper Feng's hand and shook it constantly. He was so grateful that he burst into tears. "Senior, are you really going to give it to me? Grandmaster-level bones should be very expensive, right?"

"This bone no longer contains any vitality, bone strength, nor the power of the master level. It is of no use other than a hard point. Since you want this thing, I will give it to you."

Lu Tao bought a Zang-refining-level bone from him before. He originally wanted to buy one from a higher level, but unfortunately he didn't have it.

He found this bone from a friend two days ago. He originally planned to sell this bone to Lu Tao and make a huge profit from him. But now that he has received 100 million silver from Lu Tao, he suspects that Lu Tao's qualifications are not up to standard. , I felt a little sorry, so I reluctantly gave it to Lu Tao.

"Thank you, senior. I am grateful."

Lu Tao was not pretentious and accepted the bone, then asked Shopkeeper Feng to help him break the bone into several pieces.

This makes it easier to gain experience.

Next, the two made another deal. Shopkeeper Feng spent 100 million in silver notes to buy 2,000 pairs of chopsticks from Lu Tao.

Lu Tao suspected that his 100 million was probably obtained by selling him a thousand pairs of chopsticks.

Sure enough, it is the middlemen who make the most money.

From this transaction with Shopkeeper Feng, Lu Tao felt that he had made a lot of money, especially the bones of monsters at the master level. Even if it was one billion, he felt it was worth it, not to mention 100 million.

After the transaction was over, Lu Tao returned to the yard with satisfaction, gathered others, and began to gain experience for his equipment...
