"This... Although there are some Martial Arts for sale outside, there are almost none above Earth-Level, and you definitely wouldn't be interested in Martial Arts below Earth-Level, so there's really no place to buy the Martial Arts you want," Lin Fei said, although he was puzzled.
Upon hearing Lin Fei's words, Xing Chen frowned slightly. Martial Arts below Earth-Level indeed wouldn't help him much, but all the Martial Arts above Earth-Level were controlled by major factions, and there were none available for sale outside, which made Xing Chen feel somewhat troubled.
"Since there isn't any, then forget it." Xing Chen shook his head and turned to leave.
"Actually, if you really want to obtain Earth-Level Martial Arts, it's not completely impossible. I've heard that a few Purple Auction Houses are going to hold auctions, where you might find Earth-Level Martial Arts for sale," Lin Fei quickly said as he saw Xing Chen about to leave.
Xing Chen paused, turned his head to look at Lin Fei, and then said, "How about helping me out?"
"What?" Lin Fei showed a puzzled expression. He had already told him where he could find Earth-Level Martial Arts, so what else did he want?
"There should be a way to consign some items at the auction, right?" A slight smile appeared on Xing Chen's lips as he spoke slowly.
"Do you want to sell something?" Lin Fei looked puzzled again and wondered why he needed help selling something when he could do it himself.
"I do want to sell something, but I don't know if the Purple Auction House would dare accept my consignment," Xing Chen explained. He had no choice but to consign items because he had too few spirit stones; with his current wealth, even if he encountered Earth-Level Martial Arts at the auction, he definitely couldn't afford them.
"You can rest assured about this. The Zhi Family is the most mysterious family in Radiant City, and they are said to have some connections with Guangyang Prefecture. So even if you consign something from the Sword Sect here, they would dare to accept it," Lin Fei assured him confidently.
"That's good. Then please help me consign these two items! As a thank you, I can help you with something in return," Xing Chen said as he took out two manuals from his Storage Ring and handed them to Lin Fei. These were the cultivation methods for the Howling Fist and the Thunderclap Sword, which he had found in Bai Jitong's Storage Ring.
The Howling Fist is an Earth-Level Primary Martial Technique, one of the top Martial Arts of the Bai Family, while the Thunderclap Sword is a technique from the Sword Sect's Sword Nine Formula, which is comparable to an Earth-Level Intermediate Martial Art.
"This... This is the Howling Fist from the Bai Family and a technique from the Sword Sect's Sword Nine Formula," Lin Fei looked incredulously at the two books of Martial Arts in his hands. Although he had suspected that something bad had happened to Bai Jitong, now it was certain that he was definitely dead.
"What do you think? Would the Zhi Family dare accept these two pieces of Martial Arts?" Xing Chen asked calmly.
Although these two Martial Arts are quite good, he cannot use them in public, otherwise he would definitely be hunted down by the Sword Sect and the Bai Family. However, even though he is not currently practicing these two Martial Arts, he has deeply engraved the cultivation methods in his mind.
"No problem. If it were anywhere else, I might not be so sure, but the Zhi Family will definitely accept these two Martial Arts," Lin Fei said after being shocked, nodding his head. At the same time, he secretly felt fortunate that he had left earlier; otherwise, he would probably have ended up in the Underworld with Bai Jitong.
"That's fine. As a condition for helping me, I can assist you with one thing. What do you want me to help you with?" Xing Chen nodded. In fact, he sought out Lin Fei out of necessity; after all, he was unfamiliar with this place and didn't know anyone. Although Lin Fei had previously harbored ill intentions towards him, it wouldn't hurt to ask for his help now.
"Anything is fine?" A glint flashed in Lin Fei's eyes. He indeed had many matters that were inconvenient for him to handle personally. Although Xing Chen only agreed to help him with one thing, he could propose the most difficult task to complete.
"As long as it's within my ability, it's no problem," Xing Chen replied calmly. He wasn't afraid of Lin Fei making demands because once Lin Fei made a request, they would essentially be tied together like two grasshoppers on the same rope, meaning Lin Fei couldn't play any tricks.
"Can I reserve this condition and bring it up later?" After thinking for a moment, Lin Fei asked.
Lin Fei understood very well that someone like Xing Chen would have limitless potential if he didn't meet an early demise. If he reserved this condition until Xing Chen became stronger and then brought it up, the benefits he would gain would be countless times greater than what he could obtain now.
Of course, there were risks involved; if Xing Chen changed his mind later on, then he would end up with nothing.
"Sure." Xing Chen was taken aback for a moment before understanding Lin Fei's intention and nodded lightly.
"Hehe, with his current strength at the early Earth Soul Realm being able to defeat a Late Stage Earth Soul Realm expert, his future achievements will at least reach Yang Spirit Peak. By then..." Seeing that Xing Chen agreed, Lin Fei felt a surge of joy in his heart. Lin Fei was known for being deep-minded and always looking at things from a long-term perspective. His assistance to Xing Chen was not only due to some fear of him but also because of Xing Chen's potential.
"Since things are settled, I'll take my leave now. Just notify me when the auction starts; I'm temporarily staying at Lingyun Inn," Xing Chen said.
"Alright, just wait for my news!" Lin Fei smiled and nodded.
After finalizing the matter, Xing Chen did not linger any longer. At this moment, besides Earth-Level Martial Arts, what was most important to him was information regarding the Sword Sect. To seek revenge on the Sword Sect, he needed to understand their latest situation; otherwise, how could he carry out his plan for revenge?
For this reason, Xing Chen returned to Lingyun Inn and casually found a spot to sit in the lobby. The inn was the easiest place to gather information since it was crowded with people talking; perhaps he could glean some useful news from someone's conversation.
Xing Chen ordered a pot of tea and sat there slowly sipping it while paying attention to the surrounding conversations.
"I heard that this time the Purple Auction House has put in a lot of effort to bring many treasures."
"Hey, isn't that obvious? Who would come here without treasures?"
"You don't know, do you? Although the previous auctions at the Purple Auction House also featured many rare items, this time they really went all out to bring in many high-tier martial arts and divine weapons, as well as pills and other things."
"What's so surprising about that? Didn't they have those things before?"
"How can the past compare to this time? I got insider news that this auction will feature Earth-Level Martial Arts and Earth Grade Divine Weapons, and there are even pills that can help someone at the Soul Realm Pinnacle break through to the Yang Spirit Realm."
The diners around were discussing animatedly. Of course, Xing Chen was most concerned about the news regarding the Purple Auction House and the Sword Sect. So when he heard that there would be so many top-tier treasures at this auction, his ears perked up.
"Is that true? The Purple Auction House actually dares to auction such precious items? Aren't they afraid of being robbed by someone using force?"
"You don't know anything. The Purple Auction House has a strong backing; they have the support of Guangyang Prefecture. Who would dare to rob them in the Sword Kingdom?"
"I see, no wonder the Zhi Family can rank among the Three Great Families of Radiant City!"
Listening to the conversation between the two nearby, Xing Chen confirmed two things in his mind: first, that the Zhi Family had the support of Guangyang Prefecture; second, that there would indeed be Earth-Level Martial Arts at this auction.
Just as Xing Chen was deep in thought, he suddenly heard someone mention the Sword Sect, which snapped him back to attention. The Sword Sect was his primary focus, and he would not miss any news about it.
"Brother, did you hear? The Sword Sect is about to finish refining a Divine Weapon that they've been working on for hundreds of years."
"Your news is outdated. The people from the Sword Sect have already announced that in three months, there will be a Ritual Sword Ceremony held at their Sect. For this event, the Sword Sect has sent out invitations widely, inviting various forces from the Sword Kingdom to attend. Even Guangyang Prefecture, which has always been at odds with the Sword Sect, received an invitation!"
"It’s impossible. According to what I know, the Three Great Families of Radiant City are quite powerful, but I haven’t heard that they received any invitations!"
"Maybe they just haven't been delivered yet. However, the Sword Sect places great importance on the Ritual Sword Ceremony, so those sent to deliver the invitations are all talented young members of the Sword Sect."
Upon hearing this news, a glimmer of killing intent flashed in Xing Chen's eyes. At the same time, he couldn't help but admire the Sword Sect. Knowing that the Divine Weapon he forged would attract the attention of various forces, they still dared to send out invitations and hold the Ritual Sword Ceremony to invite all factions to attend.
Just based on this courage, the Sword Sect truly deserves to be one of the two major powers in the Sword Kingdom.
"The ones delivering invitations to various factions are talented young members of the Sword Sect. Since that's the case, there will definitely be disciples from the Sword Sect coming here to Radiant City. I just wonder who will come!" A cold smile appeared at the corner of Xing Chen's mouth, and a chilling light flickered in his eyes.
Xing Chen continued to pay attention to the conversations of the diners and gathered quite a bit of useful information. For example, the Purple Auction House will hold an auction in three days, and if one doesn’t have at least One Hundred Thousand Yuan Stones on them, they basically won’t be able to buy anything at the Purple Auction House.
Although Xing Chen is a disciple of Yun Qing, he has never carried much Yuan Stone with him. Even this time he came to the Sword Kingdom, he only brought a mere few tens of thousands of Yuan Stones. Although he obtained quite a few Yuan Stones from Bai Jitong's Storage Ring, Bai Jitong had spent a lot of Yuan Stones to hire two reinforcements for him, so there wasn’t much left. All in all, Xing Chen currently has no more than one hundred fifty thousand Yuan Stones on him.
