Chapter 457: Wind, Forest, Fire and Mountain

"How is it? How is it? What grade is it?"

Surrounding the auction table of the auction house, the short-haired guy couldn't help but ask questions eagerly.

Fatty Liu lowered his head, which had been raised all the time, and a smile appeared on his face:
"That's right! This copy of 'Wind, Forest, Fire and Mountain' is a top-grade martial arts manual. Currently, this is the only martial arts manual on sale at the auction house!"

"So it is definitely above the innate level? This is really awesome!"

Following Lao Zhao's sigh, smiles appeared on the faces of the other members of the team.

Previously, the Garrison Bureau had copied down several martial arts secrets from the Dayu map, but no matter how well they were made or how accurately they were restored, none of these martial arts secrets could be sold at the auction house.

This also means that those martial arts secrets are ordinary things, similar to ordinary iron. Although they can increase some combat power, the upper limit is too low. They can only deal with small monsters at most, and cannot even break the defense of the BOSS.

"It's better to take it down first. It would be bad if the NPC takes a picture of it." Li Xuanmiao gave advice.

Liu Pangpang also accepted the advice readily. He clicked a few times in the air, and a white light flashed on the auction table. The thick four-color secret book appeared on the table.

After looking around, everyone walked forward and arrived at Li Yunfei's dormitory.

As a top-grade spiritual root, his cave is three times larger than everyone else's, especially the yard, which is not much different from a standard basketball court. It is very suitable for everyone to move around and practice martial arts.

Li Yunfei activated the protective magic circle, and everyone sat down in the yard. Fatty Liu spoke first:
"Okay, let's discuss the distribution. I'll find someone to re-refine the ordinary soldiers and armor materials and sell them to other players. I'll see how much they sell and then distribute the money to everyone. As for the rest, let's discuss it together."

After saying that, he reached into the storage bag on his chest and took out a black breast shield the size of an instant noodle lid.

This was taken out from the second BOSS in the copy. After being tested by Li Xuanmiao, it was found that even a low-grade first-level magical dagger with the [Air Blade] magical power could not break it, and not even a trace could be left. It was definitely an extraordinary item.

"A first-class mid-quality black tungsten heart-protecting mirror. The auction house identified it as a first-class mid-quality armor. There is no similar magical tool on the market, and it cannot be used to increase spiritual power. Who wants it?"

No one spoke, and it was obvious that no one was very interested in this thing: although the defense was strong, the area was too small and it was of limited use when fighting a BOSS.

Seeing that no one was talking, Fatty Liu made a decision: "Then I will wait and sell it. A first-level medium-quality magic weapon is usually more than 6000 spirit stones, but this thing is too small, so I will set it at 5000, and then each person will be paid ."

No one objected, and he took out another long light green rope: "I just checked it, this bow string is considered a first-grade top-grade spiritual material. Ah Ping uses bows, and this thing is suitable for his major, so I will give it to him. He will give each person 1000 spiritual stones, okay?"

A first-grade, top-quality spiritual material in good condition would definitely cost more than 4000, but they are teammates after all, and everyone may need it in the future. For the sake of the future, naturally no one objects.

Then what was taken out was the BOSS's double swords, one long and one short, complete with scabbards, completely in the style of Japanese swords, alternating between black and blue. Whether it was the scabbard, the blade guard, or the handle, they were all extremely exquisite, and one could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary items.

"Who wants a first-class weapon?"

No one spoke for a long time. Just when Liu Pangpang was about to make a decision, Li Xuanmiao spoke up:

"I want the short one. I always feel that the attack power of my current low-grade short sword is a bit low. How about 2,000 each?"

"Don't want a long one?" asked Liu Pangpang.

"This sword is too long, and I haven't learned how to use a sword. It feels difficult to use. I'd better sell it." Li Xuanmiao shook his head.

"Okay." Fatty Liu looked around the room and saw that no one objected, so the ownership of the dagger was decided.

"After all, it's a top-grade first-class product. I'll wait and list it for 30,000 to see if I can sell it."

Then Liu Pangpang took out a fist-sized gold seal from the storage bag. On the seal was a finely carved tiger lying down, looking as if it was about to fall down a mountain. It looked very lifelike.

This thing was found in the secret compartment under the statue after everyone defeated the final BOSS. We almost missed it.

"This thing has just been appraised. It is a special item of the first-class quality. It has the special effect of concentrating the mind. If you observe it frequently, there is a chance that you will comprehend the [Tiger Power]. I wonder what the effect is."

"It's better not to sell this thing. Let's keep it for everyone to comprehend together. I feel that this [Tiger Power] should be related to martial arts. Aren't there sword power and knife power that are often mentioned in novels? They should be the same thing."

After Li Yunfei gave his suggestion, everyone naturally agreed without hesitation to keep the treasure.

Finally, Liu Pangpang took out the "Wind, Forest, Fire and Mountain" martial arts secret book from the treasure chest of the final BOSS.

No matter which copy, after defeating the final BOSS, a treasure chest will appear, some big and some small, containing various rewards, but the rewards are random.

It seems that our luck is not very good this time, there is only this book in the treasure chest.

"This secret book must not be sold. Let's all learn it first." The guy with the flat head gave the first opinion.

"Well, although the authorities asked me to help collect the secret manuals of the martial arts book, there is no rush." ​​Li Yunfei was also very open-minded: "Let's wait until everyone has learned it first, and then I will hand it over to the authorities, and the contribution points will be divided equally among everyone."

"Hey, most of the credit for passing the dungeon this time is due to you!" Liu Pangpang's emotional intelligence was online: "Official contribution points are of little use to us, so you should keep them. It will be easier to talk to the official side."

"Actually, I have no use for it." Li Yunfei shrugged. "The official warehouse is in Fang Village. Even if we exchange things, we can't transport them here. At most, we can only exchange some money. It's better to improve everyone's treatment in reality."

"Okay, we'll talk about it later." Fatty Liu nodded, his tone somewhat impatient: "Let's take a look at this secret book together first."

Although they had already briefly flipped through it before, everyone's attention was still drawn to it as he flipped through the pages.

Unlike the jade slips of immortal cultivation techniques that could directly absorb all knowledge by sticking them on the forehead, this was a real book with thick paper, rich pictures and texts. One could tell at a glance that this book had been passed down for a long time and was full of traces of time.

The pages of the book are made of four colors: light blue, emerald green, fiery red, and khaki. The different colors also divide the book into four parts, which are the four words "wind", "forest", "fire" and "mountain" in the title.

Every page is in the same format. The left page has images, and the right page has text. Most of the images are human figures with different movements. There are also maps of various acupuncture points, meridians, and luck routes on them.

The text on the right is an explanation of the image, but unfortunately it is mostly classical Chinese, and the wording and sentence structure are quite different from what we learned in school, so it looks a bit difficult.

But among the five people, four of them had college degrees and had some basic skills, so they could basically understand some of the secrets of the skills by guessing. Under everyone's heated discussion, the mystery of this secret book was slowly unveiled.

The chapter on "wind" teaches a bow technique and a light skill. According to the introduction, one can attach internal energy to arrows to increase their power. If practiced to a high level, it can even have a "broken wind" effect.

Everyone had experienced this effect before when they played the dungeon. The third BOSS was an archer. A charged arrow blew up Lao Zhao's shield and caused the flat-headed guy to suffer considerable injuries.

Fortunately, Li Yunfei was powerful. He launched a sneak attack with golden sound waves, which shattered his bow and then cut his ankle. Finally, after a siege and accumulated strength, he took off his head.

This light skill is also quite interesting. It can gather internal energy at the soles of the feet, which can not only greatly increase the user's movement speed, but also allow full burst to achieve a short flying effect.

It’s a pity that the BOSS died too quickly and was not demonstrated to everyone.

The "Forest" chapter belongs to the second BOSS. This guy is an assassin with green armor. He has the effect of being invisible in the woods. He launched a sneak attack and almost killed Liu Pangpang and Li Yunfei in seconds. Fortunately, both of them had shield amulets on them, so they escaped this disaster.

According to the introduction of the technique, this is an internal skill that is in harmony with nature. One can perfectly hide one's breath among the trees in the forest. Moreover, when one reaches a high level, one can also release the internal energy externally, use wood as a weapon, and even pick leaves and flowers.

Unfortunately, this BOSS looked untrained and revealed its true form before it had a chance to show off. Everyone fired at it and dodged left and right, but Li Yunfei blew off his head.

The "Fire" chapter, as expected, belongs to the first BOSS. According to the explanation, this is a skill that completely increases attack power, allowing one's own internal energy to explode after release, causing great damage.

When practiced to a high level, it is called "Fire Dance", and one can release flames through weapons, creating a range effect. It is a magical skill for group battles.

Now Li Xuanmiao recalled that when the first BOSS broke the spear into two and rushed towards everyone, it seemed that some red light flashed on the tips of the two pistols.

It's a pity that this guy died on the way to charge and was unable to demonstrate the magic of this kung fu.

The final "Earth" chapter is definitely a hard skill. According to the introduction, it can greatly increase a person's strength, and can also increase body size through long-term and large-scale eating.

Although it is not like other chapters that allow you to release internal energy, you can still spread the internal energy throughout the body after practicing, greatly increasing your defense. If you practice to a high level, you can achieve the effect of "as still as a mountain", which can be said to be exclusive to meat shields.

To be honest, this fourth small BOSS is also the one that poses the greatest threat to the team. Everyone's attacks and talismans have almost no effect on him. Even Li Yunfei's [Golden Voice], the light golden sound waves, whether it was a slash or a stabbing, did not leave any scars on him.

If it weren't for his huge size and slightly slow reaction, allowing everyone to dodge behind him, the team might have been wiped out by him. In the end, it was because Li Yun accumulated enough [Golden Voice] that he killed him through a method unknown to everyone, using high-frequency head vibrations.

We discussed this cheat book for most of the day, and when we went offline, we didn’t finish the discussion. We gathered in the private room on the second floor of the cafeteria again in real life, and continued the discussion while eating:
"As you can see, this is said to be one secret book, but it is actually four! The exercise routes for each one are different!"

"I think it's better for everyone to study separately, like those bosses, each studying one subject, so progress will be faster this way."

"My magical power is [brute force], I will learn the earth character skill, and I will be the MT of the team in the future! Alas, it's a pity that there is no nurse in the team!"

"Then I will definitely learn Feng. My boss and I are both good at archery. I want to pay this money first. I want someone to make me a first-class bow. Can I pay it next month?"

"I think there's something wrong with the secret book! Didn't you notice it after reading it for so long? The text is fine, but the images seem to have a unique appeal. They seem to move after looking at them for too long!"

"Don't tell me, don't tell me, I feel the same way!"

"Maybe this is the difference between extraordinary martial arts? Images have charm, and we must read the original version to learn. It's useless to copy it?"

"Indeed, otherwise we can find someone to make dozens or hundreds of copies and sell them at auction houses, wouldn't that make us rich?"

"I also noticed the changes in the image, and I feel that it should be a move! Martial arts are divided into internal and external skills. Internal skills are the different internal forces cultivated in the exercises, and external skills should be the changes in those images!"

"Yes! It should be similar to our traditional martial arts! It is divided into dynamic and static exercises! These four martial arts require everyone to move to practice! It's not like cultivating immortals, where you have to sit cross-legged and breathe in."

"The key is, will the internal force cultivated by this secret book conflict with the spiritual power cultivated by the immortal cultivation method? I saw that it also runs through the meridians and finally enters the Dantian."

"Who knows? Let's go online and try it tomorrow. At worst, we might get possessed. Well... we're players anyway. We can be resurrected even if we explode and die."

"This secret manual doesn't mention anything about spiritual energy. The earth chapter also says that we need to eat a lot. Is it true that it can be practiced in real life just like martial arts?"

"Releasing internal energy in real life? Isn't that a bit exaggerated? Plus at that speed, ordinary firearms can't lock on!"

"What are you afraid of? Today's drones are equipped with high-energy lasers! LiDAR locks! Can you go faster than the speed of light? It won't affect peace and stability."

"Hahaha, if every member of our country's 192 heavy-armored combined brigades could release their internal energy as fast as lightning, the United States would probably cry!"

"Alas, practicing in reality is still too slow. I practice for four or five hours every day, and now I am only at the dark energy level. Even if I can practice, I don't know how long it will take to reach the level of the dungeon BOSS. I am afraid I will never be able to practice even if I die."

"I think it might be a problem with the food in real life. I feel full after eating one or two servings of food in the game, but after eating a large table of food in real life, I am only 70% full. After practicing for a few hours, I am hungry again."

"No, no, no, I think it's a problem with spiritual energy. In the game, whether it's the Dayu map or the Xianlian Sect map, there is spiritual energy, so there may be spiritual energy in the food, which can nourish the body. In reality, there is no spiritual energy, and it all depends on nutrition, so naturally it can't keep up."

"Oh, right! I forgot! Did you sense any spiritual energy in the martial arts book before?"

"I didn't pay attention. I was only thinking about how to defeat the boss."

"I've tried! My dart shooting is always accompanied by magical powers, which consumes a lot of spiritual energy, but there is no spiritual energy in that world. It is the same as the technological world. It can only be restored through pills."

"That's not right! Without spiritual energy, why would there be spiritual materials and extraordinary weapons in the drops of the martial arts book?"

"Yes! And what the boss said shows that this dungeon actually has a plot, and there are other forces and characters. It's just that because of the air wall, we can only move in that small area."

"There are huge problems behind these copies..."

"Why worry about that? I'll go online tomorrow and practice with all my strength!"
