Chapter 25: Sword Training

After two sticks of incense, it was overcrowded.

There were even a few people standing around.

The auction begins.

A handsome young man in green clothes came to the high platform in the center of the hall. He cupped his hands and said:

"I am Li Yun from the Li family. Welcome everyone to join me. I will be in charge of this auction. I would like to thank you all for coming here."

The supporters behind this auction were some families from Cangyang County, and the Li family was promoted by many families.

Naturally, the Qin family also bought shares, otherwise there would be no fixed seats to sit in.

Li Ming glanced at Li Yun on the stage. His cultivation level was not high. He was only at the second level of Qi training. His qualifications were not outstanding, otherwise he would not be the host here.

Then Li Yun stopped talking and went straight to the point:

"This auction starts now. The first thing to be auctioned is the secret book of martial arts obtained by a mysterious person."

Then, a disciple came holding a tray with an ancient book on it.

"This technique is called Red Flame Technique. It is extremely suitable for warriors who practice fire attribute Qi. The Chi Yan Qi they cultivate is strong and domineering. It is definitely a good technique!"

"Enough to cultivate to the peak of Ning Gang."

"Ning Gang? That's not bad."

"I haven't heard much about this technique, but the credibility of the Li family is worthy of recognition."

"Is this the level of the opening scene?"

Some warriors whispered with interest, but without much enthusiasm.

For casual cultivators, there is no need to temporarily change the exercises. Only some people from small families consider whether to use them as inherited exercises.

The Red Flame Technique is very powerful and rarely spread, so it can barely be passed down by many small families and sects.

"Then what are the shortcomings of this technique?"

Someone in the audience immediately raised questions.

Li Yun did not hide the shortcomings at all, saying bluntly: "The true energy cultivated in the Red Flame Jue is too strong. Those with weak constitutions cannot practice it, so the starting price is 800 taels."

The base price is 800 taels!

"It turns out I'm still a poor guy!" Li Ming's mouth twitched slightly. He originally thought that with a net worth of nearly 2,000 taels of silver, he was already considered a rich man.

"900 taels!"

"1,100 taels!"

…

There were bidders one after another, and the "Red Flame Art" was quite popular. Even Qin Yun, who was next to Li Ming, bid once, but after seeing that the price was a bit too high, he remained silent.

In the end, it was taken down by a masked man in black for 2,000 taels of silver.

Later, it was Li Ming's turn to take action on martial arts, which was not very high and sold for 800 taels of silver.

Li Ming sighed, there are still many rich people.

Some subsequent elixirs and weapons were sold, but most of them were sold.

Then Li Yun auctioned another martial arts book: "Everyone, the next martial arts book is called 'Sword Raising Technique'. It is a special secret method that does not require any qualifications and understanding, and it is amazingly powerful after being practiced!"

"There was once an unknown Qi-training realm warrior who used this secret method to directly kill a Ninggang realm master!"

"What?"

"Can any Qi practitioner use this to kill the Ning Gang realm?"

"Hmph, if you were really that powerful, would you sell it?"

As soon as Li Yun finished speaking, the people below couldn't sit still.

Li Yun coughed and added, "Of course, this secret method can kill enemies across realms. Of course there are limitations, but it can only have the power of one blow."

After a pause, he continued: "And in the process of raising the sword, it needs to be nourished by the warrior's own energy and spirit. The longer the time, the more energy and blood are consumed, the more powerful the blow will be."

"If you want to use this skill as a trump card, then this secret method can be said to be very powerful."

"The starting price is 400 taels."

In fact, Li Yun also deliberately concealed one thing, that is, when this Qi-training warrior not only delayed his cultivation but also lost his Qi and blood because he had been raising his sword all day long, he did not have much time left after swinging this sword.

"What's the use!"

"Just say there is no such powerful secret method."

But any martial artist with a little ambition will basically not practice this secret method. After all, the road to martial arts is all about being sharp and enterprising.

If you don’t pursue breakthroughs when you are young and your blood is strong, but if you practice when you are old, won’t you hasten your own death?

Even if it is used to train dead soldiers, it is not a waste.

Just for the power of a single blow in the Ning Gang Realm, spending a lot of time and financial resources... the gain outweighs the gain.

However, Li Ming's eyes moved slightly. This thing is of no use to others, but he is covered with jade bones and has a continuous flow of qi and blood. Yimu's qi can even stimulate the recovery of his qi and blood. For him, he has no time to spare. It’s just a matter of cultivation.

If someone with a cultivation level far beyond his takes action against him, he might be able to give the opponent a surprise.

"After all, I am also a master of both swords and swords, so why don't I use my sword skills to show off?"

"Bought it!"

Li Ming shouted: "I want 400 taels!"

"Does anyone really want it?"

"I don't know, you have too much money and nowhere to spend it, right?"

Everyone looked like they were watching the fun.

Qin Yun was slightly worried and wanted to persuade him, but in the end he did not speak.

"Okay! Congratulations to our guest for taking the photo of 'The Art of Raising Swords'."

Li Yun hurriedly confirmed that if you can take pictures of this thing, you will make money!

The next items become more and more expensive as the auction comes to an end.

The final lot is a few blood-transforming elixirs, which can greatly promote martial arts cultivation.

In the end, Miss Qin, who was next to Li Ming, spent thousands of taels of silver to win it.

It can only be said that the rich woman is right next to him, and poverty limits Li Ming's imagination.

After the auction, Li Ming found the middle-aged man in charge, and took away 350 taels of silver after deducting the commission and the cost of bidding for the swordsmanship.

Just after walking a few steps out of the door, he found someone following him.

"Hey, are you here to give me your life?"

However, when Li Ming quickened his pace, he saw Miss Qin following him before he went far.

The person behind him whispered: "The Qin family is a tough guy!"

"Forget it."

"The Qin family has a master sitting in charge, so I can't afford to offend them, so I'll run away!"

Li Ming felt that all his sights disappeared, and he was confused: "..."

This script is wrong!

If you are short of money, don't work hard to make money?

Don't know what it means to seek wealth and honor in danger?

"Alas, it seems that these brothers are unwilling to donate generously!"

Li Ming was secretly disappointed. There are not many good people like the five brothers of the blood bandit.

Qin Yun looked at Li Ming who seemed a little disappointed, and asked politely: "Brother Li, did Qin Yun do something wrong?"

"No, it's just that I overestimated people's courage."

Return to Qin's house.

Even the food is not fragrant.

Li Ming returned to the room, took out the "Sword Cultivation Technique" worth 400 taels from his arms, and flipped through it.

For a while.

"This 'Sword Cultivation Technique' is a bit weird, but it needs to be developed later."

The more Li Ming read, the more interesting it was.

Although the vision of the person who developed this secret technique is not high, the idea is good.

The content is simple, talking about how to use the spirit of the warrior to warm the sword, so that the sword body can accumulate an unparalleled sword energy under long-term nourishment.

It also comes with a sword technique, which is the widely circulated "Sword Drawing Technique".

In this way, when drawing the sword, it is not only fast, but also all the strength is concentrated at one point. If the sword master is equipped with sword intent, it can achieve the effect of breaking the stone and opening the sky with one sword.

Of course, this is just bragging.

Theoretically, it can be infinitely nurtured, but in reality, the sword body has a limit to its endurance, and most likely has a limit.

However, when Li Ming saw this secret technique, he inexplicably thought of a move called "Heaven-Slashing Sword Technique". If he waits until he has achieved success in his cultivation and perfected this secret technique, I wonder if this sword can really "slash the sky"?
