Chapter 171: Chapter 30 Fu Yingying [Combined 2]_3
Zhang Xuan glanced over the books in front of him.
“Divine Movement Technique,” “Falling Building Soul Leaving Technique,” “Soul Breaking Technique,” “Water Element Focusing Technique,” “Aureate Body Dharma Image.”
There were a total of five books, and by their titles, they all seemed to be cultivation methods suitable for the Ninefold Source Pool realm.
With a light swipe of his finger across the five books, Zhang Xuan’s expression immediately turned sour.
“Boss Fu, isn’t this a bit too sloppy?”
“Why would Elder Ling say such a thing?” Fu Yingying looked over with curiosity.
Zhang Xuan said, “These five, they aren’t Ninefold Source Pool secret manuals at all, but ordinary medical books with new covers slapped on them. Since we are conducting business, it’s not really appropriate to deceive like this, is it?”
“Not opening a book but knowing its content, when did Elder Ling acquire such skill?”
Fu Yingying’s eyes slithered over seductively, looking down at her neckline and then, feigning modesty, she clutched it tightly: “If that’s the case, have you already seen everything there is to see of me? How lewd… If you really want to see, just say the word, and I’ll undress for you; is there a need for such sneakiness?”
Zhang Xuan’s mouth twitched.
This woman’s thought process was truly problematic…
Touching a book allows it to be absorbed into the Library of Heaven’s Path, copying its contents, learning its knowledge. What would I gain from seeing you without clothes? It would not increase my knowledge one bit!
How dull!
With his hands behind his back, Zhang Xuan replied indifferently, “You’re overthinking it, I don’t possess such an ability. I just have the normal analytical ability of a regular person. The covers of these books might be firmly glued and seem aged, but on closer observation, the color of the paper is slightly different, so it’s still discernible.”
“Is that so?”
Taken aback, Fu Yingying felt a relief wash over her.
Although she was not bothered about being seen through her clothes, it still left her somewhat disgruntled, especially since the payment was yet to be made… She wouldn’t accept freeloaders.
“Perhaps the subordinates got it wrong, let me go check again…”
Knowing she was at fault, Fu Yingying didn’t say more and turned to leave. In no time, she came back with forty to fifty books piled up into a large stack.
Zhang Xuan’s finger traced over them, and the Library of Heaven’s Path copied the content, this time without any issues.
“How about these books? Are they genuine?” Fu Yingying asked.
“Hmm…”
Zhang Xuan nodded, “Alright, I have already seen them. I’ll trouble you to take them back, Boss Fu!”
“That’s it?”
Fu Yingying was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked at the man in front of her.
To be honest, although Elder Ling was a figure of high status with formidable strength, she’d seen all sorts in her life and previously paid him no mind, but today he sparked a significant interest in her.
The former Ling Buyang often looked at her with a twisted sort of excitement in his eyes, seemingly eager to engage in certain activities with her, whereas now, his gaze was clear and pure, not even placing her above the books on the table…
It was as if the Charming Skill she practiced diligently held no effect!
Zhang Xuan asked, “If I look at them like this, what price can you give me?”
Fu Yingying pondered.
It was her first time encountering someone who read books this way. Others read books to learn; you, on the other hand, were genuinely just… looking!
Not flipping them open, not transcribing anything, just tracing your hand over the surface…
To charge money, he didn’t actually read or remember the content.
To not charge, even though gathering these books required effort and time on her own part.
“How about this, 10,000 Origin Currency per book!” Fu Yingying said.
“Alright!” Zhang Xuan nodded.
10,000 per book, 1,000 books, merely 10 million in total, which he could afford to pay.
Moreover, with the ability from Heavens’ Order, he might not need so many books; 500 might suffice.
5 million Origin Currency, a sum difficult for others to earn, was just a matter of taking a few more tasks for him.
Seeing his agreement, Fu Yingying said, “That’s settled then. I’ll help you collect them, but I will need three days’ time. As for how many books I can find, that’s hard to say.”
“Okay! I’ll come to collect them in three days,” Zhang Xuan nodded and said, “As for the Destiny Plates, let’s do this, give me three for now…”
At 4 million each, three would cost 12 million. Although he earned over 30 million in Baiyan City, most of the money was handed to Sun Qiang to manage. He reckoned he had just about enough to purchase that amount.
As for the Heavenly Mandate Baptism, firstly, disguising himself as Ling Buyang, it didn’t seem appropriate to participate. Secondly, the baptism in Han Yuan City, which he had read about in the books a few days earlier, would not start until six months later, which was clearly too long. Therefore, it was better to spend the money where it mattered most. If he wanted to participate later, earning the funds would be sufficient.
“Sure!”
Fu Yingying raised her hands and clapped. Soon after, a young man arrived with three Destiny Plates.
Zhang Xuan accepted them, gave them a thorough inspection to confirm they were brand new and unused, and then pocketed them before inquiring, “Here, do you have any quick ways to make money?”
“You’re short on money?”
After a moment of surprise, Fu Yingying felt the question was a bit off, and quickly added, “There are simply too many ways to make money in the black market, from selling items to selling cultivation methods, all can bring a handsome income. Of course… to someone like Elder Ling, those would just be small change. Bigger earnings, suited for you, would be three types!”
“Oh?” Zhang Xuan looked interested.
“First, sell your body… as a dignified Elder of the Heaven Mandate Hall and a Dharma Form Realm powerhouse of the Ninefold Source Pool, if you’re willing to sell yourself, there will definitely be many wealthy clients rushing to buy! After all, in this world, having wealth without martial power is like a beauty in a wolf pack! Mating with you, if they successfully conceive, they could have a chance to change their fate and ascend to the very top…”
At this, Fu Yingying smiled and looked over, “This method brings in the money fastest and suits Elder Ling’s personality best. By then, I’ll reserve a room for you here for professional breeding. One session could go for one million… ten million Origin Currency, and it would just be a matter of ten tiring sessions!”
