Unfortunately, they were all ordinary items, with no cultivation techniques that caught his eye.

"It seems that to buy a suitable cultivation technique, I'll have to go to a bigger city," Lin Zheyu said to himself.

"Are you going to buy or not? If not, don't get in the way here."

The stall owner, seeing that Lin Zheyu was only looking but not buying, spoke with some impatience.

Lin Zheyu put down the introduction of the secret manual in his hand, stood up, and walked toward the next location.

He moved forward for more than ten meters, turning left into another road.

Behind him, a man wearing a black mask quickened his pace and ran toward the direction Lin Zheyu was heading.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared before his eyes, and the man, caught off guard, bumped into it.

He felt as if he had hit a wall. With a thud, blood streamed down from his nose.

"Why are you following me?"

Lin Zheyu looked down coldly at the man, asking in a deep voice.

It hadn't been long since he entered the black market when he noticed someone following him. After wandering around once, the person had been trailing behind him from a distance.

"Ah... I, I mean no harm,"

The man said with some panic, his voice extremely low, as if afraid of being heard by others.

This guy is very strong, at least at the Qi Blood Realm in strength.

This was the man's feeling about Lin Zheyu, powerful to a frightening degree. Just now, that collision felt like he had hit an indestructible wall.

"Might you be looking to purchase a cultivation technique, senior?"

The man got up, cautiously glanced around, and asked in a low voice.

He had just noticed Lin Zheyu looking to buy a cultivation technique, so he paid attention, discovering that Lin Zheyu was searching everywhere in the black market for a technique, clearly having not found one that satisfied him.

"You have one?"

A trace of interest arose in Lin Zheyu's heart.

Like the man covertly selling Qi Blood Realm cultivation techniques, Lin Zheyu had encountered one the many times he came to the black market.

However, that person sold techniques that only allowed cultivation up to the Qi Blood Three Transformations or Two Transformations. Even the Ten Thousand Armies Step was better than those.

The prices were ridiculously high, starting at a thousand pieces of silver.

"Yes, yes."

"The black market prohibits selling Qi Blood Realm and above cultivation techniques. Can we discuss it somewhere else? I guarantee you'll be satisfied," the man said softly.

"Alright."

Lin Zheyu nodded.

The two of them arrived at a secret room provided by the black market, specifically for secret transactions, costing a hundred coins per use.

The money was paid by the man, appearing confident in his cultivation technique.

The secret room was lit by ten oil lamps around, very bright.

"What cultivation techniques do you have on you?" Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

"I have an ancestral cultivation technique, capable of allowing one to cultivate to the Qi Blood Four Transformations strength. Would this interest you, senior?"

The man pondered for a moment before speaking.

A cultivation technique that can allow one to reach the Qi Blood Four Transformations is precious in a place like Songyi City, something many small clans do not have.

This was also the reason for his confidence.

"Only Qi Blood Four Transformations?"

"I'm not interested."

Lin Zheyu shook his head.

He already had a technique that could reach the Qi Blood Four Transformations and didn't see the need to purchase another.

He lacked the technique to reach the Qi Blood Dragon Realm.

However, such techniques were unlikely to be found in a backward place like Songyi City, so Lin Zheyu didn't hold out hope.

He merely wanted to see if there were any saber skills with overwhelming power or martial skills that could exceed one's own strength.

"Do you have a powerful bursting martial skill, or a saber skill with overwhelming power?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"I don't have any saber skills, but I do happen to have a bursting martial skill,"

"This is a palm skill, usable only by martial artists above the Qi Blood Realm. The palm skill has only one move, called the Mountain Shattering Palm, which can shatter mountains and break seas!"

The man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly spoke.

There really was one, and it was a bursting martial skill!

Lin Zheyu was somewhat surprised.

The man before him seemed not very strong, yet unexpectedly possessed quite a few cultivation techniques, likely a descendant of a declining family.

"I want to see the cultivation technique first," Lin Zheyu said lightly.

"Of course, senior."

The man nodded, taking out a piece of paper from his chest, which documented part of the Mountain Shattering Palm.

Lin Zheyu took the paper and began to read it carefully.

The Mountain Shattering Palm is a martial skill, documenting a special Qi and Blood Burst Skill, using this skill allows the Qi and blood of the whole body to burst in an instant, unleashing attacks far exceeding one's own strength.

"A very interesting technique, I'll buy it, name your price," Lin Zheyu said.

Coming to the black market so many times, he finally found the martial skill he wanted.

His previous goal was only to find a saber skill with overwhelming power, yet unexpectedly found a martial skill.

This was indeed an unexpected joy.

"The Mountain Shattering Palm costs a thousand pieces of silver," the man stated outright.

"Three hundred,"

Lin Zheyu said with a blank expression.

A martial skill priced at a thousand pieces of silver was outrageous, even more expensive than a cultivation technique.

"Senior, this is an ancestral skill, and a martial skill for the Qi Blood Realm is inherently valuable. Selling it to you for a thousand pieces of silver is already quite cheap," the man said with difficulty.

"Just three hundred pieces of silver."

"For such a technique, if I don't buy it, it's nearly impossible to sell it in Songyi City. Those who can afford it don't need it, and those who need it can't afford it."

"Moreover, it's easy to get robbed if you're not careful. Haven't you heard of the saying 'A man unarmed should not carry jewels'?"

Lin Zheyu glanced at him and said lightly.

The man's face changed, looking somewhat troubled.

He knew all too well the wickedness of human nature, that if he wasn't careful, the skill might not be sold, and his life could be lost instead. He had been secretly following Lin Zheyu all this way to understand his character.
