Chapter 14: Back to the Main World (Three Updates Sent)

  Just out of the study, not yet arrived at the palace square, several black shadows appeared around.

  "Haha, good kid, didn't think you'd get here before me. But now that you're here, you can go no further! Hand over the secret manual if you know what's good for you!"

  The low, muffled voice of the black-robed man leading them echoed through the dilapidated city of Wudang, sending shivers down Wu Ming's spine. At this moment, he felt as if he had become Zhang Wuji from over a decade ago. He hadn't expected retribution to come so quickly - it wasn't even half a month since he threatened Zhang Wuji into handing over the Nine Yang Scripture, and now these people were threatening him into handing over the Wudang Secret Manual.

  As for handing over these secret recipes, it's impossible. Wu Ming didn't even think about it, and at worst, he would destroy them. After all, they were clearly remembered in his mind. With the system's guidance, cultivation was a piece of cake.

  Wu Ming took out a lighter and pulled out those few secret books, saying: "You all don't come over, otherwise I'll burn the secret books with one fire!"

  "Did you burn it? Kid, do you think you're faster than me? Can your speed surpass mine?" The leader sneered. Although he said so, he didn't dare to move either, who knew what trump card this kid had.

  Wu Ming's face changed, and he immediately asked: "Heh, you can try? See who is faster, you or me? Of course, since you've already found me, it seems I won't be able to escape today. But if you give me the secret manual, will you spare my life? I just got this manual and haven't had a chance to read it yet."

  The man in black at the front smiled and said, "Alright, alright. Letting you off isn't impossible, it's up to you whether you're sensible or not, heh heh, first cripple your own martial arts then we'll talk!"

  Wu Ming's face turned cold, what a ruthless person. If he had disabled his martial arts skills, it was unclear whether he could even leave the Wuyuan City. What if this guy changed his mind along the way and once Wu Ming lost his martial arts skills, he would no longer pose a threat to him? Wouldn't that make him vulnerable to being manipulated at will? Fortunately, these guys were not very powerful, and it was likely that they had been temporarily assigned to the task. It would take them ten or more days to rush from Bianjing to get here, and who knows if Tian Boguang had suffered a disaster? This matter should be something he wouldn't dare to mention.

  It's actually similar to what Wu Ming thought, and that's exactly how it is. These people followed him after he left Kunlun Mountain and are also the secret agents of Longwang Mountain Villa in Daliao, while the people from Bianjing are still on their way.

  "Hey, don't want to let go? Then go die!" The leader waved his hand, and several black-clad men jumped down from the rooftop above, their embroidered spring knives already drawn and chopping towards Wu Ming.

  "Get out of my way!" Wu Ming let out a cold snort, and the Ziyang Dongsheng from the 36th Heaven-Defying Palm Route slapped upwards from below.

  "Hmm..."

  The triple-layered inner energy of true qi mixed with the fierce slapping of the style, slapped open all those knife edges on his head.

  "Ten, nine, eight, seven......three, two, one!" Wu Ming counted silently in his heart.

  As soon as the time arrived, a flash of light passed by, and Wu Ming disappeared from his original position. At this moment, he finally felt at ease. Although these black-clothed men were not very powerful, with the leader being only in the Early Heaven stage, and the rest being in the Late Heaven stages eight or nine, Wu Ming would have still been a bit fearful if it were before. However, after cultivating the Quasi-God level technique Nine Yang True Scripture, despite having a cultivation of only Late Heaven third stage, his internal energy was not inferior to that of a Late Heaven fourth or fifth stage cultivator. And at that place, the time had just arrived, and next time he entered, he would likely have enough power to protect himself.

  Back in the space, the three secret books suddenly fell out. A mechanical voice asked: "Do you want to bring the Holy Spirit Swordsmanship, Dragon Subduing Godly Leg and Unparalleled Divine Finger three secret books into the main world? Since they have been learned, they can be taken out freely."

  "Hmm, should I take it out or not?" Wu Ming shook his head. Forget it, he had already learned it himself, what was the point of bringing this thing along? He might as well just leave it in this space. People all have a selfish side, and Wu Ming was no exception. Especially if he were to bring this secret manual out and someone discovered it, it would be hard to explain. Not to mention that even the strongest secret manuals of the Xuantian Sect were only Earth-grade upper-level at best, who knows what kind of disaster it might bring upon himself.

  "Don't take it out!"

  The secret book quietly lay on the ground in space after he finished speaking.

  Wu Ming smiled and thought this was even better, as it added some storage functions. Compared to the legendary storage ring, it was more convenient and more hidden.

  "System, I want to exchange for cultivation experience." Wu Ming said excitedly.

  "Drip, as per player's request, exchange system is now open! Scanning surrounding environment, please wait...Scanning data in the system, please wait..."

  Not long after, a light column appeared in the space, and a crystal mirror floated in front of Wu Ming.

  "Exchange system?" Looking at this crystal in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up.

  Wow, the exchange here is quite substantial. For example, exchanging for cultivation experience, it's divided based on the depth of the martial skill and the situation. Of course, the prerequisite for this exchange is that you must have mastered the martial skill. As for internal skills like inner energy techniques, those can't be exchanged, they can only be accumulated through practice, but with the Nine Yang True Classic, Wu Ming isn't in a hurry.

  In addition to these, some of the divine weapons and even hidden weapons and elixirs can be brought back to the main world, but they also need to be exchanged. For example, the Dragon Slaying Knife would cost tens of millions of silver coins. And that number one ranked Heavenly Demon Zither, not to mention whether it's obtainable or not, just wanting to freely bring it into the main world would require exchanging for over a hundred million silver coins?

  All the way down, Wu Ming was also amazed.

  Inside, apart from martial skills and divine weapons that can be exchanged, even demon beasts within the system can be exchanged. Especially the last item, exchanging for free entry and exit of the Martial Arts Realm requires 10 billion silver taels! This item made Wu Ming stare blankly, if he had this much money now, he would definitely exchange it immediately, to be able to enter and exit freely!

  Unfortunately, even the Xuantian Sect may not be able to come up with such a large sum of money, even if they still have one or two silver mines and spiritual stone mines in their hands.

  One billion taels of silver is a staggering amount. Even if converted to spirit stones, it would be equivalent to 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. And the annual output of a high-quality spirit stone mine in ten years would only be this much.

  Don't look at Xuan Tian Sect, in this thousand-mile radius, it's one of the top two major sects, but it only controls two lower-grade spirit stone mines and a mid-grade spirit stone mine.

  It's strange to say, but this system is just like the games I used to play, they all only care about money. Exchanging for divine weapons and demon beasts is one thing, but exchanging for martial skills experience is completely a scam, it's actually exchanged at a rate of 1:10, you can exchange 10% of the experience once, if you have a lot of silver, you can exchange ten times and fully master a martial skill.

  Shake off these unrealistic ideas for now and first find Dragon Leg and Twin God Fingers to exchange experience.

  Dragon Descending God Leg and Peerless God Finger are both from Peerless City, also a top-grade Heaven-level technique. The exchange rate is about the same, to exchange for 10% experience value requires two thousand two hundred silver.

  Two thousand two, perhaps looking at it doesn't seem like much, but after seeing the back, you will find that there are many pits. Exchanging above 10% of the cultivation experience, the price directly increased by ten times. If you continue to exchange, the price must be doubled again, and finally, the minimum achievement is at least tens of millions of white silver.

  "No wonder people say that cultivating is a bottomless pit, tsk, it's really not worth cultivating! The family fortune is gone, tsk... and who knows when I'll be able to use it?!" Wu Ming sighed as he took out the two thousand taels of white silver he had saved for many years, exchanging them for 10% of the cultivation experience of the Dragon-Slaying God Leg.

  After exchanging, Wu Ming also came out of space.
