Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 152 - 130: Power Advancement, Perilous Black Market_4

Chapter 152: Chapter 130: Power Advancement, Perilous Black Market_4

"Let everything take its course, let everyone overlook me."

Jiang Feng mumbled to himself.

Maintaining this current relationship with Han Dong wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

At least it could make Xiao Ran drop any hostility, and also prevent the Second Prince, Seventh Prince, and others from noticing him.

"I should visit the black market once more, to see if there are any powerful cultivation and martial arts techniques, and dispose of those two elixirs in the process."

Jiang Feng scooped up some water, splashed it on his face, then changed his clothes. His bones shifted, muscles wriggled, transforming him from a delicate young scholar into a rugged man. He quickly vanished from Willow Alley, hurrying towards the black market.

Currently, among the martial arts Jiang Feng mastered, aside from the Loulan Slash, whether it was his body techniques, Prison Guard Long Fist, or Divine Arrow, all had reached Great Perfection Level. In close combat, Jiang Feng could only rely on the Loulan Slash and Prison Guard Long Fist.

More than a month ago, after slashing down three Qi Refining Realm experts consecutively, Jiang Feng clearly realized that relying solely on one martial art, even if practiced to perfection, would easily lead to a precarious situation. Only by learning multiple techniques and switching between them could he be unpredictable and attack the enemy effectively.

Martial arts like the Loulan Slash shouldn’t be used lightly unless necessary. It could be kept as a trump card, used to catch the enemy off guard and kill them with one unexpected move when they are relaxed.

Otherwise, if the Loulan Slash was used right off the bat, and he couldn’t instantly kill the opponent, or secure an overwhelming victory, it would likely alert the opponent if unsuccessful. To kill the opponent, he would have to rely on the level enhancement of the Loulan Slash.

This was something Jiang Feng wished to avoid encountering again.

Soon, he arrived at the black market.

During this time,

the Dragon Capital was turbulent.

Spies were captured.

The court was thoroughly cleaned.

But the black market remained unchanged, its owner still the high and mighty Seventh Prince. When Jiang Feng arrived here, he specially glanced at the courtyard by the little road near the entrance.

Wu Tianxiong was dead.

Chu Yuyan was also dead.

Even the masked man from the Seventh Prince, the owner of the Sun and Moon Building, had died at his hands.

Despite such losses,

the black market could operate as usual, showing how formidable the Seventh Prince’s power was. It was unknown how the Seventh Prince, the Second Prince, and the people behind the Beast Master Elder would react upon knowing their dispatched people had all perished.

Regarding this, Jiang Feng felt uneasy, fearing attracting any attention.

The courtyard had changed owners, with someone helping the Seventh Prince manage the black market.

Jiang Feng dared not look closely.

He strode into the black market.

Once again passing by the Eyepatch Elder’s stall,

the Three-legged Body Technique was still there.

Jiang Feng vaguely remembered.

This Three-legged Body Technique was the original, not a transcribed copy.

He was really curious.

More than a year had passed.

Why hadn’t the Eyepatch Elder sold this body technique yet?

Every time he came to the black market, he saw him there.

He was just sitting at the same stall, leaning on a chair, with his eyes closed, seemingly appearing at the black market not to sell cultivation techniques but to while away time.

Jiang Feng couldn’t help but stop.

Previously, with limited strength,

he only felt this Three-legged Body Technique was unusual, stronger than the Monkey Escape Technique obtained from the tall skinny man. Back then, for lack of silver taels, he didn’t purchase it. Later, having acquired body martial arts, he didn’t pay much mind to the Eyepatch Elder’s Three-legged Body Technique.

Now that the Monkey Escape Technique had been cultivated to Great Perfection, and the speed could only improve with cultivation enhancement, if he wished to enhance speed with the improvement of the body martial arts, he would need a more powerful body martial art.

Why not look again now to see how this Three-legged Body Technique measures up against the Monkey Escape.

So, Jiang Feng squatted down.

Picked up the Three-legged Body Technique once more.

Jiang Feng began to read it carefully.

When he first entered the black market, with only a Sixth Grade Realm cultivation, lacking knowledge, he couldn’t distinguish the authenticity of various martial arts techniques. Now, as a Qi Refining Realm expert, with broadened horizons, at a glance, mere lines of words on the first page of common techniques could reveal their nature.

Upon reviewing the Three-legged Body Technique again,

Jiang Feng soon furrowed his brow, not because he found an issue, but because the content was novel, causing his internal Primordial Power to stir, as if wanting to follow the body technique mantra and circulate on its own.

The Eyepatch Elder, sitting on a bamboo chair with closed eyes, suddenly opened his single eye, seemingly sensing something.

Jiang Feng also finished browsing the first few pages of the Three-legged Body Technique.

He noticed this body martial technique, similar to before, lacked sealed pages at the back, allowing for free reading, engrossing him further, wanting to continue perusing. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The result was the same as last time.

The Eyepatch Elder’s hand rested on the book, preventing Jiang Feng from continued reading.

"Senior, how much for this body technique?"

Jiang Feng asked tactfully.

Just like last time, the Eyepatch Elder extended three fingers.

"Three hundred taels, fine, I’ll buy it."

Jiang Feng remembered the Eyepatch Elder’s price was three hundred taels last time.

Previously, financially strained, he couldn’t bring himself to spend three hundred taels on a body technique. Now he had several thousand taels on him, all war spoils; a mere three hundred taels wasn’t a hesitation like before.

"It’s thirty thousand taels."

The Eyepatch Elder reminded.

"What did you say?"

A surprised Jiang Feng, ready to take out silver notes, froze, thinking he misheard.

"Thirty thousand taels."

The Eyepatch Elder repeated.

"For just this body martial technique, you’re asking thirty thousand taels?"
