Unexpected Harvest, Remnant Scroll of the Five Spirits Fist

The hemp-clothed youth returned.

This surprised Bai Yu a little, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Is there something I can help you with, brother?"

The hemp-clothed youth scratched his head and said:

"Brother, are you perhaps looking for martial arts techniques?"

Bai Yu's eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing within them.

Could it be that this hemp-clothed youth had been following him from the start?

The hemp-clothed youth hurriedly waved his hands and said:

"Brother, don't misunderstand. I just happened to also want to buy techniques, and I lingered at the same technique stall as you for a long time earlier."

"Judging by your appearance, you're probably like me, unable to afford any decent techniques, right?"

Bai Yu nodded faintly, but he still didn't know what the hemp-clothed youth's intention was.

The hemp-clothed youth said:

"It's like this, I freeloaded half a packet of your medicine, and I have nothing to repay you with, so I can only give you a piece of information as a return."

"I know of a stall that sells incomplete copies and techniques of dubious origin. The prices are much lower, but it really tests your judgment."

"I'm quite interested in trying my luck there. I wonder if you're interested?"

Incomplete technique copies? Bai Yu's heart stirred slightly.

For others, these techniques tested their judgment.

But Bai Yu was different. He had the Burial World Record. He could tell what was real and fake with just one glance.

Moreover, what if these incomplete techniques could also be used?

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said:

"Then I thank you for the information, brother. I am indeed somewhat interested."

The hemp-clothed youth smiled and said:

"It's good to be able to help you, brother. The stall is over there."

"By the way, brother, my name is Bai Chi. May I know your esteemed name?"

Bai Yu was taken aback, not expecting to meet someone with the same surname as him.

And this name, Bai Chi, Bai Chi (idiot), no wonder he freeloaded half a packet of Essence Nourishing Powder.

Bai Yu certainly wouldn't reveal his real name, and instead said:

"My name is Cai Kun."

Brother Bai Chi was very familiar:

"So it's Brother Kun Kun, come with me."

Bai Yu packed up his stall, followed Bai Chi on the road, and asked:

"By the way, Brother Bai Chi, do you know who that scar-faced guy from before was?"

Bai Chi laughed:

"Scarface Liu Si, ah. He can be considered a famous hoodlum here, specializing in scamming newcomers."

Soon, the two arrived at an inconspicuous stall.

This stall was very remote, and the stall owner was also listless, too lazy to move.

During his first wandering, Bai Yu hadn't really noticed this stall.

On the stall, one side was filled with various porcelain and bronze wares, still covered in dirt.

On the other side was a pile of messy books.

Bai Yu understood what was meant by dubious origin. Most likely, this stall owner was a tomb robber.

Bai Chi said:

"Brother Kun Kun, I'll take you here."

"I'm short on funds and can't even afford an incomplete copy, so I'll take my leave first."

Bai Yu didn't mind and cupped his fist to bid farewell to Bai Chi.

"This stall owner, how are these books sold?"

The stall owner was an old man with a mustache, who lazily glanced at Bai Yu:

"Look for yourself, come ask me when you've chosen something."

Bai Yu didn't mind and picked up the first book. The cover read:

Heaven and Earth Limitless Creation Chaos Yin Yang Eight Trigrams Palm!

Just the name alone gave Bai Yu a shock. He flipped it open slightly and saw that the contents were utter nonsense.

Clearly, it was something meant to fool idiots, and he'd try to trick as many as he could.

Bai Yu flipped through several books in succession, discovering they were all things meant for swindling and deception.

He was both annoyed and amused:

"Boss, don't you have anything genuine?"

The old man with the mustache said unhappily:

"Young man, what nonsense are you spouting? These are all old things unearthed from ancient tombs, at least several thousand years old."

"For example, that Three Thousand Great Daos Ascension to Immortality Level in your hand, that was from the beginning of heaven and earth—"

Bai Yu interrupted the old man impatiently:

"Alright, alright, the oldest thing on your stall is probably this cloth you're using to set up shop."

He flipped through them casually, when suddenly, his attribute panel changed.

[Five Spirits Fist (Fragmented)]!
[97% Compatibility with Five Elements Fist, can be synthesized.]

Bai Yu looked through it with an unchanged expression. Sure enough, it was a manual for the Five Spirits Fist.

But it was only half of it, with many omissions in the front.

The old man with the mustache began to boast again:

"Young brother, you have a good eye. The one in your hand is the famous Five Spirits Fist. This is a high-grade Yellow Rank cultivation method."

"It is said that it was created by the Five Spirits True Lord five thousand years ago, and it can be used to enter the Dao through martial arts and shatter the void."

"How about this, I won't ask for much. A fixed price of eighty thousand!"

Bai Yu's face darkened. A complete Five Spirits Fist manual was only fifty taels.

This tattered fragment dared to ask for eighty thousand.

He put it down and left.

The old man hurriedly stopped Bai Yu:

"Young brother, don't go! Ask for the sky, settle on the ground. At least give me a price."

Bai Yu tentatively said:

"Two taels?"

"You're cutting the price at the ankles! You're really going to be the death of me. Deal!!!"

The old man quickly stuffed the fragmented Five Spirits Fist manual into Bai Yu's arms, and also included a copy of Li Kingdom Immortal Romance Tales as a bonus, afraid that Bai Yu would go back on his word.

This fragmented Five Spirits Fist manual was genuine, but it was missing the second half, and there were omissions in the front.

It was almost worthless.

Martial arts are a matter of life and death. One wrong move can damage the foundation. Who would dare to practice a tattered fragment?

Bai Yu offered two taels, and the old man tearfully made a profit of one tael and nine qian.

One qian of the capital came from that bonus.

The old man triumphantly held out his hand:

"Young brother, once the piece is placed, there's no regret. Give me the money."

Bai Yu was speechless:

"Damn it, you old fox, you tricked me."

The old man hurriedly said:

"You can't say that. Ask for the sky, settle on the ground. You offered the two taels yourself."

"Now, money in one hand, goods in the other. The goods are yours, you can't go back on your word and not pay, right?"

"If you do that, I'll call the enforcement team."

Bai Yu reluctantly pulled out two taels of silver, his hand trembling as he handed over the silver.

The old man grabbed Bai Yu's hand:

"Young man, let go. Money is just an external thing. Why care so much about these external things?"

In the end, he half-robbed and half-took Bai Yu's two taels of silver.

Bai Yu turned and left in annoyance.

But after walking a few steps, the corner of his mouth curved into an imperceptible arc.

This fragmented Five Spirits Fist manual was useless to others, but it was a treasure to Bai Yu.

The attribute panel prompted that the fragmented Five Spirits Fist could be fused with the Five Elements Fist. This must be of great use.

Bai Yu pretended to be dejected and left the black market, acting as if he had run out of money.

But in reality, he was extremely excited and couldn't wait to return to the small courtyard and learn the fragmented Five Spirits Fist.

But the more excited he became, the more he suppressed his restless thoughts.

"As a being of longevity, one must remain calm in the face of great events, and not change countenance even if Mount Tai collapses before you."

Bai Yu quickened his pace in the darkness.

Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he noticed someone was following him.

Judging by the sound, it was two people!

Bai Yu thought he had been discreet enough, but he was still being targeted.
