Chapter 1299: Several Birds with One Stone

It would be slightly troublesome if Yan Chengde had chosen another secret manual, but it was most marvelous that he chose the Sunflower Treasure Book—this was actually “Charge” from Last Words by Tianji. It was all about instant explosive power. This was also the easiest move to understand and master amongst the four secret manuals!

Being an experienced martial artist, Yan Chengde only flipped a few pages and was instantly delighted. He instantly stood beside Hong Dali and loudly said, “Everyone, I dare to use my name to guarantee that these secret manuals are definitely real!”

Once he said this, the crowd instantly erupted.

Who was Yan Chengde? The vice clan leader of the Black Water Clan. Although this clan wasn’t large or prestigious, it was at least a named clan in the Pugilistic World. With his guarantee, everyone could rest their heart now.

Therefore, the problem came.

There were only four secret manuals. Yan Chengde bought one. Cang Yulong was the first one who wanted to buy, but he knew that it was impossible to buy all of the secret manuals and could only choose one, so he chose “The Solitary Nine Swords” in the end.

Only two remained now and Hong Dali had already earned 4,000 taels. The Goddess of Wisdom looked with her mouth wide open. Even with her wisdom, she never thought that Hong Dali could earn so much money so easily—the cost of these four books were only one and a half taels in total…

“I offer 3,000 taels for the 18 Dragon Taming Palms!” At this moment, the crowd knew that if they didn’t make a move now, they wouldn’t be able to gain anything in the end. A person hurriedly said, “I offer 4,000!”

“5,000!”

In the Pugilistic World, money was easy to obtain, but not secret manuals. If there really was a secret manual, what were a few thousand silver taels compared to it? Even if there was only one move in the secret manual, don’t forget that many times, one move was enough to save their lives.

The entire scene had turned chaotic with many people planning to lay ideas on Hong Dali too. However, Hong Dali wasn’t worried about this at all.

The most awesome thing about his method of earning money was that the prices of the things he sold were clear and plain to see by all.

Many times, when people saw a Peerless Martial Art, they would desire it and try to get hold of it by all means necessary. It would be enough even if they could just sneak a peek at it. However, it was different for Hong Dali. He directly stated a price to sell it. Therefore, no one would want to snatch it by other means—those who had the money wouldn’t be willing to embarrass themselves. Since they had the money, they would directly buy it instead of snatching it. As for those who didn’t have the money, they weren’t able to defeat Hong Dali in the first place…

As a result, for the last two secret manuals, they were sold for 8,000 taels each. Hong Dali had earned 20,000 taels in just a short while, even he himself expressed that this money was really easy to make…

Hong Dali’s identity as a prodigal wasn’t in vain—this fellow had really never lacked money no matter where he went.

“Alright, everyone. Quiet down for a while.” Hong Dali knew that for this kind of matter, he should retreat once he had already gained from it. But he couldn’t retreat too directly, that would easily force people to risk their lives to rob him. Therefore, he smiled, cleared his throat, and when the crowd quickly quietened down, he said, “There’s no need to fight for the secret manuals, I still have other secret manuals too. I plan to go to Wushen Palace too, so we can take care of each other on the way. Therefore, hehe, the price is plain and clear—2,000 taels for one move. As for how much you guys can learn, that depends on your own capability.”

Yup, he said 2,000 for one move, but everyone knew that was only the starting price. It was hard to predict what the final price would be.

But at least they still had a chance now. Momentarily, everyone cheered and looked at Hong Dali as if he was the God of Fortune.

As for Jiang Lixue and Cang Yulong who had sparred with Hong Dali just now, they very naturally prepared to become Hong Dali’s lackeys and serve at his side, making the Goddess of Wisdom very speechless—this fellow could really gain lackeys no matter where he went…

Now, with Hong Dali the secret manual wholesaler, the entire town instantly became very lively. On the way, people crowded around Hong Dali, sucking up to him—

“Brother Dali, please enter first. This is the best clothing store in town.”

“All of you come outside, Brother Dali is going to pick clothes now. If he’s in a good mood, he may write some secret manuals and sell it to us later, so remember not to be noisy and annoy him!”

Therefore, Hong Dali and the Goddess of Wisdom walked in front, while a large group of people followed behind, waiting for him to be in a good mood and sell them secret manuals again…

After walking for one round outside, they returned to the inn.

Hu Ziming had become nervous from waiting for Hong Dali. When the door to the inn suddenly opened and two people walked in first, Hu Ziming was instantly dazed. Then, he said in surprise, “Brother Jiang, Brother Cang, what brought you guys here? Quick, come sit.” Then, he instructed the waiter. “Waiter, bring over the liquor!”

But unexpectedly, Jiang Lixue and Cang Yulong didn’t sit. Instead, they moved aside and Hong Dali walked in with the Goddess of Wisdom. They had changed to this world’s clothing and Hong Dali even carried a sack over his shoulder. He grinned and walked in. Then, upon seeing Hu Ziming, he instantly smiled and said, “Brother Hu, I’m back, hehe.”

Saying so, he took out a silver ticket and handed it to him. “I borrowed some money from you previously, I shall return it to you now.”

“500 taels!?” Hu Ziming never thought that Hong Dali would be able to return him 500 taels by just going out for a short while. “You went to rob… Stole from the rich to give to the poor?”

Seeing his interesting expression, the Goddess of Wisdom instantly laughed.

When she was with Hong Dali, it seemed that she was always very happy. This feeling was very weird, but she just felt like smiling and laughing.

“Haha, no, I just sold some stuff.” Hong Dali grinned. By this moment, Hu Ziming’s senior already felt that something was amiss. “You… These people came for you?” He had already seen the large group of people following behind Hong Dali.

“Yup, this Brother Dali is really a skilled person in disguise.” At this moment, Cang Yulong replied, “He sold several martial arts moves, all of them being very marvelous. These people here are all waiting to buy secret manuals from him.”

“Sell… Sell secret manuals!?” Hu Ziming’s senior’s mouth opened wide—there are actually people who will sell their secret manual for money!? If I knew this earlier, I would have given him more money in exchange for secret manuals…

“Don’t worry. All of you have been very caring for me on the way here, there are still secret manuals remaining for you guys.” Hong Dali laughed and patted Hu Ziming on the shoulder, then said, “When I have time, I will write a few secret manuals for you guys too.”

Yup, everyone was looking at Hong Dali even more excitedly now—this fellow didn’t only look at money when giving out secret manuals…

Therefore, just like this, Hong Dali had become a very sought-after person in just a short while. No matter where he went, people sucked up to him.

Yan Chengde, who was following beside them, didn’t doubt at all that if someone dared to attack Hong Dali now, that person would be instantly chopped into pieces by everyone.

“This fellow.” The Goddess of Wisdom wanted to laugh, but she suppressed it and thought, “He’s really good at scheming. This way, our safety isn’t an issue anymore.” She was right, this was part of Hong Dali’s plan, killing several birds with one stone. Who said that Hong Dali was only good at squandering!?
