Azure Rainbow Sword Art

"Young Master Su, our Zhang family caravan is adding 120 Blood Marrow Crystals and a low-grade beginner magic tool. Please consider it."

"My shopkeeper said that if Young Master Su is willing to make a deal with us, we can arrange for fertile land and beautiful concubines for you in the future."

"This is a premium seat token for the Emerald Blue Pavilion. You can earn hundreds of Blood Marrow Crystals annually just by collecting rent. Young Master Su, if you..."

As Su Jie announced the auction, the merchants raised their hands one after another, and the scene instantly became lively again.

"Don't push, don't push. Speak one at a time, you're making it too noisy for us to hear."

Wu Bin was maintaining order at the scene, and Gu Weinan and Chen Yun also stepped forward to help.

Su Jie was constantly comparing the prices offered by various merchants. This was the greatest wealth he could earn at his current stage, so he definitely had to maximize his profits.

After more than ten minutes, the highest bid reached two thousand Blood Marrow Crystals.

Beyond this price, the merchants stopped raising the bids, fearing that a higher price would make it difficult to recoup their investment.

Some merchants also offered items other than Blood Marrow Crystals as substitutes, such as magic tools and spirit pills, or promised luxurious mansions and beautiful concubines, throwing out all sorts of temptations.

The former was acceptable, but the latter left Su Jie speechless. Did he look like someone who lacked such things?

When the bidding reached the merchants' psychological price, the scene gradually fell silent.

Just then, a melodious voice came.

"Young Master Su, our Taixu Pavilion offers 1500 Blood Marrow Crystals plus this scripture."

Cai Chun'e walked gracefully, her beautiful and charming face adorned with a smile as she held a jade slip with both hands and offered it.

The jade slip was inscribed with the characters "Azure Rainbow" in clerical script. It was pure white and translucent, with what looked like numerous tadpole-like characters flowing within the jade.

Only very precious cultivation techniques, scriptures, and secret texts were recorded on jade slips, as the value of the jade slip itself was as high as fifty Blood Marrow Crystals.

"What is this?"

Su Jie was a little curious. Seeing Cai Chun'e's confident demeanor, the contents of this jade slip were definitely not bad.

Cai Chun'e pointed at the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword on Su Jie's back and said, "Young Master Su, with such a divine weapon in your possession, it's likely difficult to unleash its full power without a corresponding sword art. The Azure Rainbow Sword Art recorded in this jade slip is a set of sword control techniques, encompassing the essence of sword control, body-sword integration, and sword refinement, allowing you to learn advanced sword control techniques at the fastest speed."

As soon as she said this, the surrounding merchants turned their heads in surprise.

Su Jie's eyes lit up slightly.

Throughout history, scriptures related to cultivation were the true treasures of a clan, the fundamental methods.

Magic tools and spirit pills would eventually be depleted, and even blessed lands would wither away with the changes of time. Only scriptures could be passed down for eternity.

The merchants who had bid fiercely earlier had not offered any cultivation scriptures.

Was it because they didn't have any?

Of course not. These merchants were backed by powerful aristocratic families, so it was impossible for them not to have inherited cultivation scriptures. It was just that they were unwilling to trade them.

"It seems you are truly sincere. I'll verify it first."

Su Jie reached out to take the jade slip, intending to examine it.

"Please, Young Master Su."

Cai Chun'e said calmly. She was clearly well-prepared, her strategy specifically targeting the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword that Su Jie had just acquired. It was like prescribing the right medicine, immediately piquing Su Jie's interest.

The jade slip felt cool in his hand. Su Jie examined it and then placed it on his forehead, connecting it to his sea of consciousness.

In the next moment, a massive amount of sword-shaped scriptures surged into Su Jie's mind.

Within his sea of consciousness, sword shadows and rainbow lights flickered, sometimes like thunder and lightning, swift and fierce, and sometimes like willow catkins blown by the wind, elusive and untraceable.

Su Jie checked it and verified that the jade slip indeed contained a set of sword control techniques, just as Cai Chun'e had said.

Perhaps such sword control techniques were not considered much in the outside world; they might be bought for a few hundred Blood Marrow Crystals. However, Cai Chun'e's actions were clearly more sincere than those of the other merchants, and the Azure Rainbow Sword Art was exactly what Su Jie needed.

"How is it, Young Master Su? Are you satisfied with this sword art?"

Cai Chun'e asked. From Su Jie's smile, she sensed his satisfaction.

"Fifteen hundred Blood Marrow Crystals, plus this Azure Rainbow Sword Art. You can have the three Strange Ghost corpses."

Su Jie nodded. Given Cai Chun'e's sincerity, he didn't intend to haggle further.

"Thank you, Young Master Su, for fulfilling this."

Cai Chun'e jumped up excitedly, her ample chest shaking impressively.

Gu Weinan and Chen Yun did not comment on this transaction, knowing their limited influence and leaving the decision entirely to Su Jie.

Su Jie did not mistreat them either, promising to share a larger portion of the Blood Marrow Crystals, especially since he was taking the Azure Rainbow Sword Art.

Cai Chun'e did not have that many Blood Marrow Crystals with her. The group returned to the Taixu Pavilion's location in the Black Market.

Soon, with Wu Bin as a witness, Su Jie and Cai Chun'e successfully completed the transaction.

Both parties were very satisfied with the outcome of the trade.

Cai Chun'e presented a small gift, a few low-grade beginner talismans, and said with a smile, "Young Master Su, please visit Taixu Pavilion more often in the future. If you have any more good business like this, be sure to find me!"

"You make it sound like you're a matchmaker. Speaking of which, Sister Cai, is what you told me last time still valid?"

Su Jie said playfully. The charming and alluring middle-aged woman had made a promise to him last time.

Cai Chun'e's pretty face flushed with a captivating blush. She let out a soft sound of disapproval and said, "Sister was just teasing you, why did you take it seriously?"

"I'm an honest person, I can't tell the difference between a joke and seriousness, so..."

Su Jie reached out, feeling the snake-like curve of her waist, then moved lower. Before he could marvel at the astonishing proportions of the sudden curve, he squeezed one of the peachy globes.

"Ah!"

Cai Chun'e cried out, her body going limp. She glared at him with seductive eyes.

"Young Master, how could you do that? You're... lewd, so lewd."

"Haha, I'm a Devilish Cultivator! Isn't being lewd expected?"

Su Jie winked at Cai Chun'e. Then, ignoring the indignant young woman behind him, he walked away from Taixu Pavilion.

"Brother Wu, thank you for your trouble today."

Su Jie handed Wu Bin over twenty Blood Marrow Crystals as payment for the day.

"Heh heh, following you, my virtuous brother, I got to see such an exciting gambling match. I wish for more trouble like this."

Wu Bin wanted to stay for a meal together, but seeing Gu Weinan and Chen Yun with their injured legs, he knew it wasn't the right time. He cupped his hands, exchanged contact information, and left.

Su Jie then personally accompanied Gu Weinan and Chen Yun to the Condensing Pill Hall. He had a doctor examine their injuries, purchased medicinal pills for them, and gave them to the two for healing.

When they parted ways, Su Jie gave each of them their share of the Blood Marrow Crystals and cautioned them, "Be extra careful recently. While you're healing, also be wary of the wolves outside. Don't let anyone take everything you have."

"I'll take care of myself."

Chen Yun nodded, knowing that with her current state and such a large sum of Blood Marrow Crystals, she was like a child carrying a fortune through a busy market – one wrong move and they could be snatched away.

"I've already found a safe retreat. Brother Su doesn't need to worry."

Gu Weinan said this. Having lived for so many years, he had his own ways of hiding after his time in Ghost Ridge Palace.

Seeing this, Su Jie didn't say anything more. Compared to the two of them, Su Jie himself was in the most danger.

Others were not only after the Blood Marrow Crystals, but also that White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword.
