It would have been troublesome for Yan Chengde to choose the other manuals, but it was the best choice for him to choose the Sunflower Treasure Manual — this was actually the "sudden advance" from the Last Words by Tianji. It was about instantaneous eruption. It was the fastest and easiest move to understand among these manuals!
Yan Chengde only flipped a few pages and was instantly overjoyed. He instantly stood beside Hong Dali and loudly said, "Everyone, I dare to guarantee with my reputation that this Young Hero's secret manual is definitely real!"
Once he said that, the crowd instantly went into an uproar.
What kind of person was Yan Chengde? He was the Deputy Gang Leader of the Black Water Gang. Although the Black Water Gang wasn't considered a rich and powerful sect, it was at least famous in the Pugilistic World. Now that he guaranteed it, everyone was naturally at ease.
Therefore, there was a problem now.
There were a total of four secret manuals. Yan Chengde bought one. Cang Yulong was the first to buy it, but he knew that it was impossible to buy all of them. In the end, he could only choose one and take away the secret manual "Nine Strategies Beyond the Swords."
Now, there were only two left. Hong Dali had earned 4,000 taels of silver. The Goddess of Wisdom watched with her mouth wide open. Even with her intelligence, she didn't expect this prodigal Hong Dali to be able to make so much money — the total cost of these four books was only one and a half taels of silver …
"I'll pay 3,000 taels for the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!" At this time, everyone in the crowd knew that if they didn't act quickly, they wouldn't even be able to get any scraps. They hurriedly offered. "I'll pay 4,000 taels!" "5,000 taels!"
In the Pugilistic World, it had always been easy to find silver but hard to find secret manuals. If there was really a secret manual, what was a few thousand taels of silver? Even if there was only one move in this secret manual, don't forget, just knowing one more move could save one's life.
The entire scene instantly became chaotic. Many people were still thinking about how to make a move on Hong Dali. However, Hong Dali wasn't worried at all.
The best part of his money-making method was that he clearly marked the price.
Many a time, people would be very jealous when they saw a peerless martial art. They would do whatever it took to get their hands on it, even if it was just to sneak a peek. But Hong Dali was different. He directly sold it at a fixed price. This way, no one would be too embarrassed to make a move on him — those who had money would not be able to lower their pride to make a move on him. If they had the time to be embarrassed, they might as well just buy it. As for those who had no money, they would not be able to defeat him …
In the end, the last two secret manuals were auctioned off for 8,000 taels of silver each. Just like that, Hong Dali managed to earn 20,000 taels of silver. Even he felt that it was too easy for him to earn the money …
That's why Dali's status as a prodigal was definitely not undeserved — no matter where he went, he never seemed to lack money to spend.
"Alright, everyone, quiet down." Hong Dali knew that he had to stop while he was ahead, but he couldn't stop too quickly. That would easily force people to take risks out of desperation. Therefore, he smiled and cleared his throat. Very quickly, the surroundings quietened down. Hong Dali smiled and said, "Everyone, don't be anxious. There are more secret manuals later. I plan to follow all of you to Wushen Palace. Everyone can take care of each other along the way. So, hehe, I'll mark the price clearly. 2,000 taels of silver per move. As for how much you can learn, it will depend on your own ability."
Yup, he said 2,000 taels of silver per move. Everyone knew that this was the starting price. It was hard to say how much they could really learn.
But at least they had something to think about. Instantly, everyone responded and looked at Hong Dali as if they were looking at the God of Fortune.
As for Jiang Lixue and Cang Yulong who had made a move on him previously, they were naturally prepared to play the role of Hong Dali's lackeys. They followed Hong Dali and only cared about serving him carefully. Even the Goddess of Wisdom was speechless — this old guy could really get lackeys everywhere he went …
Now that there was Hong Dali, a secret manual wholesaler, Wanshan Town instantly became lively. Along the way, Hong Dali could be said to be surrounded by people.
"Brother Dali, please go first. This is the best clothing store in Wanshan Town." "Everyone, prepare outside. Brother Dali is going to choose his clothes. If he is in a good mood, he might come out and write some secret manuals for everyone. Remember, don't make a ruckus!"
Therefore, Hong Dali walked in front with the Goddess of Wisdom. A large group of people followed behind, waiting for him to write some secret manuals to sell when he was in a good mood …
After making a big round, they returned to the inn.
Hu Ziming was originally waiting anxiously for Hong Dali. Suddenly, the door of the inn opened and two people walked in. Hu Ziming was stunned for a while when he saw them. Then, he was overjoyed. "Brother Jiang, Brother Cang, what wind blew the two of you here? Quick, take a seat." Then, he called the waiter. "Waiter, serve the wine!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Lixue and Cang Yulong didn't sit at all. Instead, they moved to the side. Hong Dali and the Goddess of Wisdom changed into local attire and carried a bag on their shoulders. They grinned as they walked in. Once they saw Hu Ziming, they smiled and said, "Brother Hu, I'm back. Hehe."
Saying so, he took out a banknote from his bag and handed it over. "I borrowed some money from you previously. I'm returning it to you now."
"500 taels?!" Hu Ziming didn't expect that Hong Dali would return him 500 taels. "You went to rob … to rob the rich to give to the poor?"
Seeing his amused expression, the Goddess of Wisdom instantly burst out laughing.
When she was with Hong Dali, she always seemed to be very happy. This feeling came out of nowhere, but she just felt like laughing.
"Haha, no, I went out to sell some things." Hong Dali smiled and casually replied. At this moment, Hu Ziming's senior realized that something was wrong. "You … these people are all here for you?" He had already seen the large group of people following behind Hong Dali.
"En, this Brother Hong Dali is a real person." At this moment, Cang Yulong replied, "He sold a lot of martial arts moves, and they are all very exquisite. These brothers here are all waiting to buy secret manuals."
"Sell … Selling secret manuals?!" Hu Ziming's senior instantly opened his mouth wide — there were people who sold secret manuals for money?! If he had known, he would have given him more money to exchange for two secret manuals …
"Don't worry. Everyone took such good care of me on the way here, there are still secret manuals." Hong Dali smiled and patted Hu Ziming's shoulder. "When I have time, I will write some for you guys too."
En, this time, everyone looked at Hong Dali with even more excitement — this fellow didn't just give them secret manuals for money …
Therefore, just like that, Hong Dali became very popular in just a short while. He really had people fawning over him wherever he went.
Yan Chengde, who was following at the side, didn't doubt that if anyone dared to attack Hong Dali now, he would definitely be instantly chopped into minced meat by these people.
"This fellow." The Goddess of Wisdom really wanted to laugh out loud, but she held it in. "He really knows how to scheme. This way, we don't have to worry about safety anymore." She was right. This was also part of Hong Dali's plan. Killing several birds with one stone. Who said that our Hong Dali only knew how to squander!?
