I Have A Martial Dao World

Huiqing proposed a trade, which sounded quite compelling.

After all, the contents of "Nirvana Sutra" had long been memorized; it was no use to Lu Yao anymore. It would be better to trade for a different cultivation technique.

Yu Yanmei immediately sent a message through hidden means, "The 'Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill' is powerful and consumes a lot of Inner Breath, which suits you well. However, its value is not as high as 'Nirvana Sutra'."

In this world, cultivation techniques of Spirit Refinement are unparalleled, nourishing methods are secondary, practice methods come next, and fighting techniques are the lowest.

"Nirvana Sutra" is a method of Spirit Refinement, as well as knowledge of the Out-of-Body Stage. No matter how strong the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" is, it's still a nourishing method, indeed not as valuable.

Lu Yao had a measure in his heart and started to haggle, "Master, the two secret manuals don't seem to be of equal value."

Huiqing gently nodded towards Zhang Yunshu.

Sect Leader Zhang chuckled in agreement, "Young friend Lu~ this is how it is. I'll add another 'Dragon Chant Golden Bell Cover' for you. In this way, trading one for two, you're truly making a fortune!"

Lu Yao took a deep look at this Wudang Sect Leader, his enthusiasm was curious...

Zhang Yunshu was quite generous and directly said, "I will copy the 'Nirvana Sutra' and 'Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill' as an intermediary fee."

Famous sects always liked to amass cultivation knowledge to strengthen their foundations. This Wudang Sect Leader was naturally no exception.

Lu Yao expressed his admiration with cupped hands, as this person was also making a fortune trading one for two. The only one at a loss was Baique Temple.

Yu Yanmei also promptly sent a message, "Both are superior cultivation methods, more than enough."

Just as Lu Yao was about to agree, suddenly a thunderous roar came from afar, "This monk Wujing beseeches Young Master Lu, do not agree~~~~~"

The shout was like a thunderclap, shaking the roof and causing it to shed dust. The faces of Zhang Yunshu and Huiqing darkened.

Within a few seconds, a hefty monk rushed over; it was none other than Master Wu Jing from Fahua Temple.

"Young Master Lu, this humble monk has come for the 'Nirvana Sutra' as well."

Lu Yao was surprised, "Master Wu Jing also wants to trade?"

"Indeed! Our Fahua Temple is not stingy. In exchange, we offer one move of 'Tathagata Divine Palm: Buddha Shakes Mountains and Rivers'!"

The moment Master Wu Jing stated his offer, the entire room was shocked! The "Tathagata Divine Palm" was not just an ordinary martial art!

Yu Yanmei quickly sent a message, "This supreme skill requires the cultivation of the Spirit Refining Stage to be used, containing the secret of unifying Spirit Refinement and the Martial Path, its value is immeasurable!"

Lu Yao communicated through a hidden message, "Why is Fahua Temple so eager to acquire 'Nirvana Sutra'?"

Yu Yanmei replied, "Both Fahua Temple and Baique Temple stem from 'Nirvana Sutra's creator 'Master Zhihai'. This is a struggle over doctrinal inheritance."

After a brief contemplation, Lu Yao gave Liao Qe a signal, and the girl immediately turned to leave.

Meanwhile, the guests began to belittle each other.

Zhang Yunshu bluntly said, "The move 'Buddha Shakes Mountains and Rivers' has been widely circulated, and many sects have it in their collection; it's not something impressive."

Master Wu Jing counterattacked, "It's still better than both of yours combined!"

"The 'Buddha Shakes Mountains and Rivers' move was publicly used by the Heavenly Demon Empress Dowager during the Longevity Feast!"

"Ridiculous! People are divided into good and evil, what does that have to do with the Martial Path!?"

...

The two experts, who had cooperated during the Longevity Feast, now engaged in an argument, neither willing to concede.

Yu Yanmei sent an explanation through a hidden message, "After the incident of the Longevity Feast, Great Grandmasters kept returning to the capital to confront the Empress Dowager, and the public sentiment was also agitated. Many sects, martial artists wanted to join forces to bring her to justice... Both men wish to become the leader of the martial alliance."

Lu Yao couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration; it always came back to "fame and fortune". Even when martial artists could discern right from wrong on a grand scale, they still had their limitations.

At that moment, Liao Qe came over with a tray covered by a red cloth.

Lu Yao faced the three guests and said slowly, "Senior guests, please hear me out."

Zhang Yunshu and Wu Jing ceased their debate and looked over.

Lu Yao continued, "I am poor, yet I desire all your secret manuals... Can they be exchanged for silver taels?"

"Young Master Lu, the secret manuals we have brought are extremely precious techniques; their value simply cannot be measured in terms of money!"

"Indeed, no amount of money can..."

Before the two could finish, Lu Yao approached Liao Qe and removed the red cloth covering the tray.

To everyone's surprise, beneath the cloth was a small mountain of silver! In an instant, the room shimmered with a silvery glow that dazzled the eyes!

"!!!"

"Three thousand taels!!!"

The two Spirit Refinement level experts glanced and immediately judged the amount, showing astonished expressions on the spot!

Although the value of supreme techniques can't be measured in silver, that said... it all depends on how much money we're talking about!

From the standpoint of their sects, the experts calculated: cultivating a martial artist with suitable aptitude would require 500 taels for Blood-Exchange Mirror and 1000 taels for reaching the Innate Realm.

That is to say—this sum of money was no small amount for any sect!

Lu Yao, with a clasped hand bow, said, "It would be inappropriate for 'Nirvana Sutra' to fall into any single person's hands. Better I propose some silver as an alternative, so everyone can pick something and thus preserve our amicable relations."

For a moment, the three fell silent.

Master Wujing of Fahua Temple was the most conflicted, as the 'Nirvana Sutra,' a scripture handwritten by the ancestral master, held significant meaning, yet in times of chaos, silver was also crucially important. It was indeed hard to choose!

It was Huiqing from Baique Temple who made the first decision. Recently, Baique Temple had been struggling; participating in the martial arts competition had led to significant losses. Compared to the symbolic significance of the 'Nirvana Sutra,' silver was what they needed most.

Amitabha," he sighed deeply, and with resignation said, "Donor Lu, I shall choose the silver."

His words also helped Master Wujing make his choice. He brought his palms together and said earnestly,

"In that case... Fahua Temple will take the 'Nirvana Sutra.' Scriptures handwritten by our ancestral master must not be allowed to fall into the wrong hands."

Upon hearing this, the look of sorrow on Huiqing's face deepened.

~~~~~~~

Next, Lu Yao received Baique Temple's "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill," Wudang's "Dragon Roar Golden Bell Shield," and Fahua Temple's "Tathagata Divine Palm: Buddha Shakes Mountains and Rivers"

Afterward, Baique Temple took the silver, Fahua Temple took the scripture, and Wudang still managed to obtain two copies of secret manuals.

In this way, everyone got what they needed, and it was a source of great joy indeed! The mood was lifted, and the impression of Lu Yao significantly improved.

After exchanging pleasantries, Huiqing was the first to leave with the silver; Master Wujing, assured of the authenticity of the manuals, also took his leave.

Only Zhang Yunshu remained to copy the secret manuals. As he rapidly flipped through the books, all their contents were imprinted in his mind.

After finishing, he said in gratitude, "Many thanks, Young Master Lu, for your generosity!"

"Sect Leader Zhang, there is no need for courtesy. After all, I would have had Elder Zhou He from Yunzhou copy these manuals eventually, you're just a bit earlier."

Lu Yao and Elder Zhou He shared a genuine friendship; in the past, he had received many favors from him. Now that he himself had prospered, he naturally wanted to repay the kindness.

Zhang Yunshu was thoroughly convinced, "Previously when my junior praised you, I thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems I underestimated you. Young Master Lu truly exemplifies chivalry and straightforwardness; I have great respect for you!"

"Sect Leader, you flatter me."

After the polite exchanges, Zhang Yunshu also made ready to depart. Before leaving, he said to Yu Yanmei,

"Yuan Kaisheng has secretly received gold from The Empress Dowager, surely indicating his advancement to the Golden Body Realm; Great Grandmaster Zuo has also returned from the Western Frontier, and several Great Grandmasters are preparing to join forces to compel the palace. The situation in the court is like a raging fire on oil, you must be cautious with your involvement."

~~~~~~~~

Once Zhang Yunshu was gone, several excited sisters gathered around!

Liao Ya, in particular, found it hard to believe as she held the three precious manuals and was so moved that she couldn't speak!
