In chaotic times, one can become a martial immortal.

As fewer and fewer people bid, the three-courtyard mansion was finally won by a man with a tiger-headed hairstyle for a high price of five hundred taels of silver.

The following items to be auctioned include not only houses, shops, and estates, but also calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, and precious jade.

There are also various high-quality weapons and armor, powerful bows and crossbows, and even hidden weapons and poisons.

Even the most beautiful dancers from beyond the Great Wall appeared.

This sparked a frenzy of bidding, bringing the auction to a climax.

The atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly heated, with bidding sounds rising and falling.

Lu Yuan remained seated quietly, resting with his eyes closed.

He was, of course, a normal man, and a hot-blooded young man full of vigor.

It's just a temporary time; it's not the time for him to indulge in pleasure.

Moreover, although he carried 1,500 taels of silver notes, it might not be enough.

He absolutely could not waste the opportunity before he was certain he could obtain that special cultivation technique.

"Hehe...and here comes the best part!"

Finally, amidst the laughter of the purple-robed man, Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

In the hands of the man in the purple robe was a sandalwood box.

Inside the box lay a yellowed, thread-bound book.

The pages were somewhat tattered, as if they had been turned countless times.

"The incomplete Vajra Skill, a profound-grade internal cultivation technique, though only containing the first three volumes, is still a complete internal cultivation method, sufficient to support entry into the higher grades, and even potentially leading to the refinement of a golden skin!"

"Starting price: 500 taels; minimum increment: 10 taels!"

boom!

As soon as the man in purple robes finished speaking, the crowd below erupted in uproar.

Five hundred taels of silver is enough to buy a large mansion with three courtyards and three entrances.

Moreover, although the Vajra Skill is a true Xuan-grade skill, it is only a fragmentary version of the first three volumes.

Most importantly, for the vast majority of martial artists present, what they lack most is not the internal cultivation techniques that can support them to reach the next level, but rather the physical constitution and resources that can support them to reach the next level.

Without sufficient foundation and resources, they may not be able to reach the level of entering the ranks for several years or even decades.

Only highly skilled masters who have reached the Transformation Realm urgently need this kind of internal energy to help them break through to the next level.

Therefore, there were actually not many people in the audience who were truly moved by the incomplete version of the Vajra Skill.

The atmosphere at the auction was nowhere near as lively as when the mansion and dancers were auctioned off before.

However, everyone also knows that once someone bids, it is highly likely to be a master of the Transformation Realm, or a true genius with excellent aptitude who is confident that he can break through to the Transformation Realm in a short time.

Of course, there may also be wealthy people who don't lack money and participate in the auction just to buy.

"Five hundred and ten taels!"

"Five hundred and twenty taels!"

……

"Eight hundred taels!"

After a brief silence, the sound of bidding finally rang out again in the room.

The price soared and soon broke through a thousand taels.

"Luckily, I received the five hundred taels of silver from the Zhou family; otherwise, I might have come all this way for nothing!"

Upon hearing someone bid 1,100 taels, Lu Yuan's gaze narrowed slightly.

Fortunately, this special technique, which was the final step, was exactly the internal cultivation method he urgently needed.

Moreover, it is a Xuan-grade cultivation technique that can support him to enter the ranks. Although it is only a fragment of the first three volumes, it is still manageable.

Moreover, the value of the incomplete copy has already exceeded a thousand taels. If it were the complete copy, it would probably cost several thousand taels to acquire.

At this point, the auction price had reached 1,200 taels.

It can be said that this is truly the most expensive item in this auction.

As a result, fewer and fewer people bid, until finally only one dog-headed man and another cat-headed man remained, bidding against each other.

"One thousand three hundred taels!"

After the kobolds raised their bids again, the owls fell silent completely.

Clearly, this bid price has exceeded his ability to pay.

"Is there still anyone bidding on the incomplete manuscript of the Vajra Skill, a profound-grade martial art?"

After a moment of silence, the man in purple robes glanced at everyone and asked with anticipation in his eyes.

"One thousand three hundred and ten taels!"

As expected, another calm voice soon rang out in the arena.

The reason Lu Yuan waited until this point to start bidding was because he knew that no matter how loudly he bid beforehand, he wouldn't actually win the bid.

It's better to save your breath and energy and wait until the crucial moment to bid.

"Are there any higher ones?"

The purple-robed man's smile widened, and then he called out again.

His gaze went straight to the kobold.

Even everyone's eyes were on the kobold, to see if he would continue bidding.

At that moment, the kobold turned its head and looked at the goat-headed man who had suddenly appeared.

"One thousand three hundred and twenty taels!"

After another round of bidding, the kobold turned directly to Lu Yuan and said, "Friend, this incomplete copy of the Vajra Skill is something I desperately need. I wonder if you could let me have it? I promise you a generous reward afterward!"

"Sorry, this is exactly what I need!"

Lu Yuan slowly uttered a deep, resonant voice.

"Friend, how about giving me, Wang Qing, some face?"

The kobold suddenly ripped off the mask he was wearing and spoke to Lu Yuan again.

"It's actually Wang Qing, the young leader of the Iron Palm Clan!"

Someone couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Although the Iron Palm Clan has only been around for a little over a month, it has become extremely famous.

Not only did they almost wipe out the entire Black Tiger Gang overnight, but they also quickly swallowed up most of the East City area, and were beginning to show signs of rivaling the Axe Gang and the Giant Kun Gang.

Some even believe that a true third major gang may soon emerge in Qinghe County.

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Lu Yuan again.

Wang Qing, the young leader of the Iron Palm Clan, deliberately revealed his identity, clearly hoping to make Lu Yuan submit.

They all wanted to know whether Lu Yuan would back down and withdraw from the auction, or whether he would fight on and continue participating.

"Friend, since you've given me, Wang Qing, this face today, feel free to mention my name, Wang Qing, in any matters you may encounter in Qinghe County in the future. What do you say?"

Wang Qing continued.

"One thousand three hundred and thirty taels!"

Lu Yuan merely glanced at Wang Qing before directly calling out the price.

When he was only at the Inner Strength level, he not only annihilated the Black Tiger Gang, but also single-handedly killed the Third Leader of the Black Cloud Stronghold, who was at the Transformation Strength level. Now that he is at the Transformation Strength level, why would he be afraid of the young leader of the Iron Palm Gang?

Even if the leader of the Iron Palm Clan came, he would still be determined to obtain the Vajra Skill!

"Where did this powerful outsider come from?"

As Lu Yuan finished speaking, many people looked at him with surprise.

This sheep-headed man is not only rich, but he even dares to disrespect the young leader of the Iron Palm Gang.

Is he a hothead, or does he really have the confidence?

"Okay, you're very good!"

Wang Qing's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Immediately, he turned around and walked out.

Everyone knew that even if the ram-headed man obtained the incomplete Vajra Skill manual, without sufficient strength, he would not only waste the 1,330 taels of silver, but also lose his life.

Private fights are forbidden in the black market, but once you leave the black market, who cares if you live or die?

Congratulations to bidder number 329 for successfully bidding on this incomplete copy of the Vajra Kung Fu!

After a long silence, the man in purple robes finally made the final decision, announcing the ownership of the incomplete Vajra Skill manual.

A beautiful maidservant presented the sandalwood box containing the incomplete copy of the Vajra Skill directly to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan handed the silver notes to the maid, then picked up the sandalwood box, turned around, and quickly left.

After leaving the black market, Lu Yuan expected to be ambushed by Wang Qing, but to his surprise, he returned home safely.

"Diamond Skill!"

Lighting a candle, Lu Yuan carefully took out the incomplete copy of the Vajra Skill from the sandalwood box.

Without any hesitation, he eagerly turned to the first page.

The first thing you see are several diagrams of human physiology, with red lines winding and twisting on them.

"The power of Vajra begins in the skin and flesh, travels through the tendons and bones, and ends in the internal organs; the marrow is like a golden cauldron, and the blood like mercury syrup..."
