Semi-jade Pavilion sold over 200 kinds of secret books about Dao, secret methods, secret methods, techniques and methods. It was said to be the most comprehensive place across Taixia Country. Zhang Tie was dazzled by them. Thankfully, although Zhang Tie had not seen the physical copies of these secret books, he could find the complete introductory materials of these secret books in Semi-jade Pavilion. Zhang Tie only needed to skim through the materials once before he could find what he wanted.
'What a Gold and Power Market! '
Zhang Tie muttered inside as he skimmed through the introductions, 'I'm afraid that only Xuanyuan Hill could have such a store.'
According to the introduction of the information, the secret manuals here could be sold. However, the so-called sale was actually a one-time bestowment. This made it impossible for one to pass on the secret manuals here to others. If one really wanted to buy an incomplete secret manual, the price would be so high that it would make one speechless.
Zhang Tie remembered that when he gained the "Robust Ox Skill" in the black market of Selnes Theater of Operations, the price of the "Robust Ox Skill" was only 10,000 gold coins in the black market. In Semi-jade Pavilion, Zhang Tie also saw the "Robust Ox Skill"; however, the price of the "Robust Ox Skill" here was as high as 120,000 gold coins. The price of one enlightenment of the "Robust Ox Skill" was 1,200 gold coins. As for commoners, 120,000 gold coins or 1,200 gold coins were not small figures. Even though the price of this kind of secret method fell sharply in the precarious situation in Selnes Theater of Operations, Zhang Tie still felt that the incomplete secret method in Semi-jade Pavilion was a bit expensive.
Of course, he wanted to buy the complete secret method. If he, an earth knight, accepted the enlightenment of others here, it would be a joke; additionally, it would damage his reputation.
The incomplete secret methods of "Skills" were the cheapest ones here. The prices of the other secret methods, methods, methods and flows were like ladders. The prices of the secret methods of "Skills" on different levels would double on different ladders. As for the secret methods of "Skills" on "Skills", the cheapest one was 300,000 gold coins. The cost of one enlightenment was 3,000 gold coins. The price of one enlightenment was 1% of the price of the complete secret method.
At the sight of the prices of these secret methods, Zhang Tie knew why master's cultivation was favored so much in Taixia Country. Because it was very difficult for a commoner to learn high-level secret methods or battle skills without his master. Only the prices of these secret methods could greatly suppress those from ordinary clans.
None of the major clans and sects with a bit background liked these secret methods. Because these secret methods could not help people promote to knights. However, as Taixia Country was so large and had so many people, knights were very rare. Those clans and sects with knights were at least local tyrants. Below these tyrants, there was still a great demand for secret methods of various levels among people in Taixia Country. Not everyone wanted to promote to knights. Therefore, these secret methods existed.
It was like a commodity. Secret manuals of scriptures and characters were the top luxury goods, but not everyone had the qualifications and conditions to enjoy such luxury goods. Therefore, under this luxury goods, there would be all kinds of high, middle, and low-end commodities for people with different economic capabilities to choose from, to meet the cultivation needs of people at different levels. This was the reason why secret manuals such as Dao, Dharma, Incantation, Flow, and Gong existed.
Those who were fortunate enough to join Iron-Dragon Sect could have a chance to learn "Fire Dragon Sutra"; however, young people living in small villages like Xujia Village might only learn a bit of "Heavenly Blue Sutra". Those major clans and sects who owned secret methods of sutra could also control the dissemination of their own secret methods through enlightenment in case of being learned by others. Of course, disciples of major clans and sects could learn secret methods that could help them promote to knights; however, did all the common fighters in the army need to learn secret methods that could help them promote to knights? Of course not. In the army, the simplest and easiest secret manuals that could allow the most soldiers to advance to LV 9 or LV 10 were the best.
This was the case for the army. In other villages, towns, small cities, or places where clans and families with small populations gathered, they would also have different requirements for secret manuals of different levels. In some small places, if one could master secret methods of flow, he or she would be able to recruit disciples and prosper the clan.
In Semi-jade Pavilion, even secret methods of flow were also classified into different levels. The higher the level of the complete version of this secret method was, the higher the price would be; the more surging points could be lit, the higher the price would be; the more complete the matching battle skills were, the higher the price would be.
If not having the special ability of "King Roc Sutra", Zhang Tie would definitely disdain such secret methods like Bai Suxian. However, with this special ability and the marquis-level "Fire Dragon Sutra", Zhang Tie had become picky even though he was only aiming at the matching battle skills of those secret methods. Zhang Tie would not even consider those secret methods below marquis-level because it was meaningless at all. After reading through those secret methods for almost one hour, Zhang Tie was disappointed to find that he had taken it for granted.
Among over 200 secret methods in Semi-jade Pavilion, there was only one secret method above marquis-level which contained a complete matching battle skills and secret methods. That secret method was called "Shocking God Sutra", which could light 281 surging points. There were only two matching battle skills, namely "Shocking God Swordsmanship" and "Shocking God Imperial Skill". As for the higher level secret methods with complete matching battle skills and secret methods, Zhang Tie could not find any in Semi-jade Pavilion. Although there were duke-level and throne-level secret methods in Semi-jade Pavilion, they were all incomplete. There were only two secret methods of "Law", three secret methods of "Flowing" and no matching battle skills.
'What should I do with these things? ' The complete version of "Shocking Gods Sutra" is not as advanced as "Fire Dragon Sutra". Even if I spend a great effort to recover this secret method and master the "Shocking Gods Flight Skill", would this "Shocking Gods Flight Skill" be more powerful than "Fire Dragon Flowing Light Battle Skill" and "Shocking Gods Swordsmanship" surpass "Fire Dragon Heavens Burning Spear Skill"?
This "Shocking God Sutra" was of little value to Zhang Tie. As for the other incomplete secret methods, Zhang Tie was not interested in them at all. He had already learned emperor-level secret methods. The only regret was that he didn't have a matching battle skill. How could Zhang Tie be interested in picking up these garbage?
'As I expected, not all good things could happen to me. There aren't so many incomplete duke-level and throne-level secret methods with complete matching battle skills in this world. Therefore, the whim that occurred to his mind in Xujia Village was immediately extinguished by Zhang Tie.
"I will take this one!" Zhang Tie didn't reveal his disappointment; instead, he just pinched his nose and selected a secret method on the brochure of Semi-jade Pavilion.
Of course, it was not "Shocking God Sutra", but a lower-level "Double Moons Flow". As a count-level secret method, "Double Moons Flow" contained a complete "Crescent Hook Skill" and a "Moon Shadow Body Skill". Zhang Tie only chose this secret method because it was much cheaper. He just wanted to cover up his previous words in front of Bai Suxian. Of course, it was unnecessary for him to spend money on it.
"Childe, are you sure you want this" Double Moons Flow "?" a manager of Semi-jade Pavilion asked Zhang Tie for confirmation.
"Yes," Double Moons Flow "!"
After saying that, Zhang Tie felt a toothache. Thankfully, over 400,000 gold coins were nothing for him. He just took it as an experiment. Although this experiment failed, at least it told him that it was impossible! If he couldn't find a suitable secret method in Semi-jade Pavilion in Gold and Power Market, he could be sure that he couldn't find a suitable secret method in other places.
"Okay, childe, please wait for a moment. The secret method is in the warehouse. I will take it here!"
The manager stood up and left.
"Why did you choose this one? I think that" Shocking God Sutra "is not bad!" Bai Suxian asked Zhang Tie out of curiosity.
"Don't bite off more than you can chew. I just want to verify the battle skills and secret methods inside and see whether I could be enlightened. I don't know whether this way is feasible or not. Let's have a try first. If it's feasible, I will buy the rest later. It won't take too much time. If it's not feasible, forget it!" Zhang Tie said with a solemn look.
Bai Suxian nodded.
Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian just waited in the room of Semi-jade Pavilion for about 10 minutes. Even Bai Suxian felt a bit impatient. Finally, a person walked in.
The one who entered was not the manager anymore, but the guy with a long face and sparse beard who was slapped by Zhang Tie in the Qian Gate yesterday.
This guy might have applied ointment on his face; however, his face was still red and swollen.
At the sight of this guy, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian frowned at once. However, this guy with a long face and sparse beard was watching Zhang Tie with an arrogant look.
"I'm sorry, there's no more" Double Moons Flow "in Semi-moon Pavilion!"
After hearing this guy's words, Bai Suxian raised her eyebrows. Closely after that, she patted the table and sprung up, "There were some just now. Why not? Where's the boss? Call him out. If you dare to play tricks in front of me, I will demolish your f * cking store!"
Bai Suxian's fury and power made the guy with a long face and sparse beard one step back out of fear. After swallowing his saliva, he straightened his neck and sneered, "I'm the person in charge of Semi-jade Pavilion. If I say there's no more, I will give you a price, 5 million gold coins for one..."
"You..." The price of one item was less than 500,000 gold coins just now. Bai Suxian, who had not been hit by a bamboo pole since she was born, became infuriated as she raised her hand. However, before she slapped him, Zhang Tie had already stood up and caught her wrist, "Let's go..."
"But..."
Before Bai Suxian said anything, Zhang Tie had already pulled her hand and strode out of there, leaving that guy with a long face and sparse beard standing there with widely opened mouth like a clown who had just entered the stage. Before he started his performance, he had found that the audience had already left. Therefore, he didn't know what to do at this moment …
