Chapter 106 Body Refinement and Spiritual Secret Manuals, I Want Them All! (Please Subscribe)

After a moment's thought, Chen Fan calmly asked, "Sir, are these cultivation techniques really as powerful as you say?"

"Young man!"

The old man's eyes widened, giving him a look that said, "You don't believe me? You're a regular customer. Even if I were to lie to others, I would never lie to you, would I?"

Chen Fan smiled, nodded, and said, "Since you've said so, it would be impolite of me to have any further doubts."

"That's right, that's right."

The old man nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

He could almost see the eighty-yuan bill beckoning to him.

Honestly, this money came way too fast and too easily.

When he gets back, he'll write a few more books and try to get a double-digit number. Then he can sell them for two hundred, no, three hundred to this great bastard.

I do feel a little guilty, but not much.

If you finally catch one, shouldn't you take advantage of them to the fullest?

"uncle,"

Chen Fan remained calm and said, "Actually, there's something else I haven't told you yet."

"?"

The old man was startled, a bad feeling creeping over him, and instinctively asked, "What is it?"

"It's about those dozen or so secret manuals I bought from you last time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's right hand trembled involuntarily, and the smile on his face froze.

What's going on? Did this silly kid discover he bought a fake?

But if he found out, why did he come back and buy from me again? And why did he look for so long? Was he just deliberately trying to amuse me?

Chen Fan remained silent, and the two simply stared at each other.

Finally, the old man coughed and said, "Young man, we agreed last time that once it's bought, there are no refunds or exchanges. Besides, I've already spent the 30 yuan. You can decide what to do."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Fan with the air of a seasoned sly old fox who wouldn't give him money or his life.

"Sir, when did I say I wanted a refund?"

"So what do you mean?"

The old man was stunned.

He realized that the kid in front of him wasn't as simple as he had thought.

But you wouldn't say he's smart either.

"The dozen or so secret manuals I bought from you last time, sir, I showed them to an elder in the village, and he said that most of them were fake."

As Chen Fan spoke, he looked at the old man.

The latter's expression immediately changed, his eyes darting around, and he said, "You, what kind of elder are you? How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air? My secret manuals are all worth their price."

"That's what my elder said too." Chen Fan nodded. "He said that although most of them are fake, there are two that are real, just incomplete, but the price is not high, so you get what you pay for."

The old man's lips moved.

His technique was indeed incomplete, that much is undeniable, and that person seemed to be a trained martial artist.

He asked curiously, "Which two books did your elder mention?"

"The Shadowless Blade also has the skill of walking on water," Chen Fan replied.

"Cough cough."

Upon hearing this, the old man coughed twice and continued to deny it, saying, "Young man, actually every martial arts manual I sell here is genuine. Your elder only recognized two of them."

After saying that, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that the silly boy's elders were only so-so, and they could only recognize two books. This gave him more confidence.

"Sir, my elder is a master of internal energy cultivation; his judgment should be quite discerning, right?"

The old man shivered.

Entering the realm of a master of internal energy?

Even the lord of Songjiabao is only a Mingjin martial artist. This kid looks like he's from a small village outside. How could he possibly know a master at the Rujin level?

For someone like that, killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

He looked suspicious, staring intently into Chen Fan's eyes, trying to figure out if the other was deliberately bluffing him.

However, Chen Fan remained calm, and there was not a trace of guilt in his eyes, because he was telling the truth.

However, he was worried about scaring the other person, so he decided to stop while he was ahead and said:

"Sir, I'm telling you this for no other reason than that elder said that what you sell is indeed worth the price, which is very reasonable."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes."

The old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gave a thumbs up and said, "Young man, your elder is indeed a reasonable and virtuous person. He has always said that everything I sell is worth its price."

He was truly relieved.

Listening to this silly boy—no, no, young brother—it's perfect that the other party doesn't intend to cause me any trouble.

Otherwise, even hiding in Songjiabao wouldn't be safe for him!

Chen Fan's lips curled up, then he changed the subject and said, "Actually, buying these five manuals wouldn't cost me much money, but if not even one of them is genuine, then let me tell you, I probably won't come back to buy them again."

Click till.

He believed the other person would understand the meaning behind those words.

"No problem, no problem."

The old man, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt his heart leap into his throat again.

Judging from what the other party said, if he bought these manuals and found that none of them were genuine, that expert who had reached the level of internal strength might very well come looking for trouble in person.

Moreover, losing one's only source of income is a major headache.

Of course, the most awkward thing is that none of these five books are actually genuine...

"Sir, I didn't mean anything by what I said earlier, please don't take it to heart," Chen Fan smiled. "How much did you say these five manuals cost? 80, right?"

After saying that, he gestured as if he was going to take out money.

"Why!"

The old man quickly stopped him, laughing awkwardly, "Young man, why don't you come back to buy them next time? These five books, these five books..."

He stammered, inwardly groaning.

If he had known it would turn out this way, he should have mixed in one or two genuine ones.

"What's wrong with these five books?"

Chen Fan's hand froze in mid-air, and he asked in confusion, "Could there be a mistake somewhere in these five books?"

"Ah, right, right, right!"

The old man was so excited that he insisted, "I wasn't in the best condition at the time, and there are some parts that need to be improved. Brother, why don't you wait a couple more days and come back? I'll definitely make sure you're satisfied then."

"I see."

Chen Fan inwardly burst into laughter, but outwardly remained as composed as an old dog. His eyes revealed deep reluctance, and he said in a disappointed tone, "That's such a pity. We finally made it here, and this is the result."

"It's my fault, it's my fault."

The old man apologized repeatedly, "Young man, don't worry, I'll definitely make you satisfied next time you come."

"Alright."

Chen Fan sighed, then said at the opportune moment, "Grandpa, do you have any martial arts manuals for body tempering? Like the Thirteen Bodyguards' Horizontal Training or the Golden Bell Cover?"

"I was thinking, if I could learn one or two body-refining martial arts techniques when fighting those ferocious beasts in close combat, wouldn't I be less worried about getting injured?"

He felt that his plan to bring up Zhang Ren was quite good, successfully making the old man somewhat wary.

Therefore, it's time to take the initiative to ask for some cultivation manuals, even if they are incomplete, he can complete them.

He would accept a higher price.

"A body-refining technique?"

The old man thought for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, but young man, I'm afraid you can't endure that hardship."

"Can't handle hardship?"

"yes."

The old man rarely showed such a serious expression. "This body-refining technique is indeed fast, but it requires more effort and can easily cause irreversible damage to the body."

Unless you achieve mastery in body cultivation, when you get older, while other martial artists merely experience a decline in their qi and blood, you will suffer unbearable pain.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy in front of him had a master of internal energy behind him, he wouldn't bother talking so much nonsense to him.

"So that's how it is."

Chen Fan nodded. "Thank you for the reminder, sir, but I still want to see it for myself."

The old man and Chen Fan exchanged glances. After a moment, he sighed and said, "Alright, since you want it, I'll give it to you then. The Thirteen Bodyguards' External Strength and the Golden Bell Shield, is that right?"

Chen Fan was immediately overjoyed.

Judging from the old man's words, he already possesses both of these martial arts techniques?

Who exactly is this guy? Could he really be, as he claims, some kind of successor of the Five Mountains Sword Sect?

"cough."

Chen Fan coughed lightly. "Sir, I also wanted to ask if you have any martial arts manuals here that cultivate the spirit?"

"Cultivating the spirit?"

The old man's mouth was slightly open, as if he hadn't expected Chen Fan to say such a thing.

"yes."

Chen Fan nodded. "I think martial artists should not only strengthen their bodies and bones, but also hone their spirit. Do you think what I said makes sense, sir?"

"That makes sense."

The old man muttered, "It's just about tempering one's spirit; it's very difficult and requires a high level of comprehension."

As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Fan.

"?"

Chen Fan frowned slightly. What did that mean?

Does he think he has low comprehension?

That's exactly what the old man thought.

In fact, he not only thought that Chen Fan couldn't do it, but also that the master Chen Fan mentioned, even if he obtained the manual for tempering the spirit, would still be unable to get started.

This is not an exaggeration; it is the truth.

Only those who awaken, with mental strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, are able to reach the threshold.

However, how can one refuse money that is offered to them?

"Young man, besides the body-refining manual, you also want to improve your mental strength, is that right?"

A meaningful smile appeared on the old man's face.

"Yes, sir, if you have any, the price is negotiable."

Chen Fan gritted his teeth and pretended to be in pain.

"Alright, since you're so straightforward, young man, then I, this old man, won't be coy either. These three cultivation techniques, 100 yuan each, how about that?"

"?"

Chen Fan was taken aback, then asked, "Is it also an incomplete copy?"

He felt that this price was unlikely if it were complete.

"Cough cough cough."

The old man coughed a few times, looked around, and lowered his voice, saying, "Young brother, since you already know, I'll explain it to you. How could I possibly remember all those techniques? Of course, I only know the incomplete ones."

However, if you think the price is too high, we can talk about it again, right?

He stared longingly at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan looked troubled and said with difficulty, "Sir, you always sell incomplete manuals, which makes things difficult for me."

"Eighty," the old man gritted his teeth, "at least 80 yuan a book. If you're willing, just bring the money next time."

Seeing this, Chen Fan was too lazy to keep up the act.

After all, the three books together only cost two or three hundred yuan, which is nothing.

"Alright, then it'll be 80 yuan a book," he nodded. "If you have any other powerful martial arts techniques later, you can display them as well. I'll borrow some more money from that elder and try to buy them all."

"Okay, okay."

The old man was deeply moved.

What a wonderful young man! Even if it means borrowing money, he's determined to support his street vending business.

It's just a torn copy, he has plenty of those, and the price has increased eightfold from ten yuan a copy. He's made a fortune!

"Okay, young man, come back in three or four days. I guarantee you'll be satisfied. Oh, and make sure you bring enough money. We don't accept credit."

Finally, he gave a reminder.
