Chapter 124: Selling Everything to Learn Martial Arts
Chapter 124: Selling Everything to Learn Martial Arts
"It's just a broken wooden bowl, worthless."
Ah...it's actually worthless. Xiao Jie looked at the wooden bowl after it was identified, and the suffix suddenly changed from burial object to - garbage.
"An ancient bronze sword, maybe worth one or two hundred coins."
Not that great...
"This bronze helmet should be around eight or nine hundred years old. Unfortunately, it's not a special item and is badly corroded. It's worth eighty to one hundred coins."
Yes, that’s just enough to cover the appraisal fee.
"An old pottery pot is worth twenty or thirty coins."
Generally speaking, they are all worthless items, and some of them cannot even recover the appraisal fee.
"The broken jade cup has no spiritual energy, but its material is excellent and worth five ounces of silver."
Well, finally there is some gain.
It seems that the drops from these tomb raiders are just like this, most of them are garbage, and occasionally there will be a good thing, which feels a bit like a lottery. Overall, it can't be said to be very high.
I threw all these things into the store and only got six taels of silver in return.
Then Xiao Jie came to the auction house again.
I couldn't help but search for knife products first.
Straight spine wind-breaking knife! Good stuff.
Dingguang knife! Good stuff.
Dragon Sparrow Knife! What a good thing.
Too bad I can't afford them all.
I searched for some skill books on swordsmanship.
Qinglong sword technique! Good stuff.
Thunder Blade Technique! Good stuff.
Magical Sword Technique! What a good thing!
Still can't afford it.
I searched for talismans, pills, magic tools, light skills, and internal skills. The more I looked, the more greedy I became, and my saliva was about to flow out.
It's a pity that each one is more expensive than the other, and it's hard to do anything with the little money I have.
Don't think too much about it, just see how much this thing you have is worth.
Xiao Jie actually has quite a lot of wealth, especially for a level 10 newcomer.
However, the few good equipment on him cannot be sold at all. Whether it is the sacred wood talisman, the Shura ghost mask, or the two knives, they are all things that depend on him for survival.
The only things left are the house deed and the spirit stone talisman, which are of no use at the moment. You can consider selling them for money.
I searched the keyword [house deed].
This thing is very rare in the auction house, there are only a few of them.
Anyang Village House Deed: 70 taels.
House deed of Dahuang Village: 80 taels.
Hongde County House Deed: 300 taels.
Longhua City House Deed: 1000 taels.
It can be seen that the price of the title deed is closely related to the location. It is no problem to sell my Ginkgo Village title deed for seventy or eighty taels, but I cannot sell it easily before determining the purpose of the title deed.
I searched for spirit stone talismans again, and found that the prices of this item are relatively uniform, the most expensive is 100 taels, and the cheapest is 75 taels.
Xiao Jie didn't plan to set up a stall because it was too inefficient and he couldn't move at all.
But it’s a bit of a loss to put it on the auction house, and the 10% handling fee is indeed a bit expensive.
Fortunately, he was well prepared. He directly put the house deed and the spirit stone talisman up at the auction house.
The house deed was 500 taels, and the spirit stone seal was also 500 taels, and it was still anonymous.
It is basically impossible to sell it at this price, but he left a message below - I am in Luoyang Town, if you want to buy it, you can add me on WeChat and discuss the price in person.
This way you don’t have to stand by and sell your goods.
And there is no handling fee for face-to-face transactions.
Not long after, WeChat started ringing.
"Brother, are you selling the house deed?"
"Okay, but you have to tell me what this deed is for first."
“I don’t know about that either.”
Xiao Jie thought to himself that you are kidding me. Why did you buy it if you don't know what it is for? "Forget it, I will tell you after I figure it out."
"...Well, I just heard from others that the purpose of the property deed is to register as a resident, and after registering as a resident, you will have a local household registration."
"Local hukou?"
"That's right. We are all returnees now, which is equivalent to outsiders. There are many things we can't do. Some tasks can only be taken by local residents. The most important thing is that you must have a local household registration to form a guild. In addition, if you want to establish a country in the future, this thing is indispensable."
So this is its use!
Xiao Jie suddenly realized that he could tell that what the other party said was mostly true.
But it is very likely that some truth is hidden, such as why the price difference of house deeds in different regions is so large, there must be a reason.
Besides, just based on the uses that have been revealed, this thing is worth keeping.
In comparison, the spirit stone talisman is not that serious.
Since you have already decided not to go down the cave in the short term, you might as well sell this thing for money, learn skills to strengthen yourself, and when you are strong enough to move freely in the underground tomb, you can naturally make more money and buy it again.
"You are a dishonest person, so I won't sell you the title deed. However, I have a spirit stone seal. If you are interested, I can consider selling it to you."
"Okay, sixty taels."
"No, one hundred taels."
“That’s not the market price.”
"There's someone in the market who's selling it for a hundred taels."
"That's the highest price, no one wants it. The lowest price is only 75, but it still can't be sold. If it is really sold, the seller will get less than 70 taels."
"But if the buyer wants to buy, it will be more than 80 taels. As far as I know, the transaction tax is paid in both directions. 75 taels plus 10% is 82.5 taels. So my taels is lower than the lowest price of the auction house if I trade it face to face."
"…How about 75 taels?"
"How about this, let's all compromise and give in. 79 taels, a flat price." "Damn, you're doing a good job in business."
"Forget it if you don't want to buy it."
"...Okay, 79 taels."
After some heated arguments, the deal was finally done.
Xiao Jie controlled his character to come to the agreed transaction location, but the other party was a level 10 little character named Jin Fugui, who was wearing a long green cloth gown and carrying a long sword. It looked like his equipment was just for show.
Xiao Jie was surprised, "Huh? Brother, you're only level 10. Why are you buying this..."
"Of course I'm selling it. Can't I use it myself? I'm a professional businessman, specializing in reselling. If you need anything in the future, you can tell me. As long as the price is right, I can get you elixirs, martial arts secrets, and magical equipment.
If you have anything you want to sell, just tell me, I will give you a fair price.”
It seems like another character similar to Wang Kai.
"Okay, then add me as a friend and make friends."
After trading the spirit stone and the talisman, together with the burial objects, the total was 85 taels.
Find me and become an immortal, "How is it, have you sold it?"
“I sold it. There seem to be a lot of generals now. This spear fighting skill is very easy to sell. I sold it for 9 taels.
Xiao Jie traded another thirty taels to me for the purpose of becoming an immortal.
I was a little confused: "Brother Feng, what do you mean?"
"This is the money from the sale of the spirit stone talisman, as well as the funerary objects we fought for before, and the skill book. These are our common property. Of course, the money from the sale is divided between us, but I contributed more so I got a little more. These are your share."
The two of them opened the treasure chest together. Since the spirit stone talisman could not be identified and its value was uncertain, Xiao Jie accepted it temporarily. Now that he has sold it, he must give some to his brother.
"Stop talking nonsense. Let's go and learn some skills. Remember my arrangement: internal strength, martial arts, light skills, and riding skills. Oh, and you'd better buy a horse."
You can make do with the equipment for now, but skills are essential. Skills are the most important thing in this game.
Not only does it obviously improve personal strength, but most importantly, this thing can be used in reality.
This is the legendary inner strength and sword skills! After mastering it, he will become a legendary martial arts master. How can he not be excited?
Xiao Jie has already figured out what he wants to learn.
Internal strength must be the top priority. This is a core skill. Once you learn it, you will have internal strength to use.
I watched so many martial arts movies when I was a child, and I was longing for the magic of internal strength. Now I finally have the opportunity to learn it.
Then there is a sword technique, which is used in conjunction with internal energy. According to Ye Luo, when the sword technique is practiced to the maximum level, one can comprehend the profound meaning from it. This thing is equivalent to a super ultimate move and is incredibly powerful.
Then there is the skill of lightness, which is indispensable whether you are escaping, dodging, or chasing the enemy.
The last is riding skills. With riding skills, you will be much safer in the wild. If you encounter danger, you can mount your horse and run away. It is also convenient for long-distance travel. Otherwise, you have to rely on your two legs to run, which is too tiring.
As long as these four skills are all complete, the combat effectiveness can be improved by at least 30%, so you can be confident when leveling up.
The 55 taels I got from selling things plus the 24 taels I already had in my bag totaled 79 taels, which should be enough to learn everything I needed to learn.
With the huge sum of money in hand, the two men headed straight for the martial arts gym.
The martial arts hall in Luoyang Town is located in the north of the town. It covers a large area and is very bustling with people coming and going.
What surprised Xiao Jie was that there was a much smaller sword gym opposite the martial arts gym.
Hey, a martial arts gym? A sword gym? Why does a sword gym have to be opened separately?
However, Xiao Jie did not dwell on this issue for too long, and walked straight into the martial arts hall impatiently.
Martial arts magic—here I come!
The architectural layout of the martial arts hall is quite grand. Not only does each style of martial arts have a corresponding NPC coach, there is also a martial arts training field in the yard with many training dummies. Several NPC coaches are giving instructions, and some players are practicing sword, gun, boxing and kicking in front of the dummies, having a lot of fun.
You know what, it looks quite realistic.
Xiao Jie looked at these coaches one by one.
'Hunyuan Yiqi' Duan Yu (Qigong instructor) Level 30.
Liu Sanlang, the "Golden Swordsman". (Swordsmanship Instructor): Level 26.
'Iron Spear Bully' Li Ruyi. (Spear Instructor): Level 27.
'Iron Axe King Kong' Jin Yaotian (axe skills coach): Level 25...
The names are more flashy than the last, but judging from their appearance, these NPCs are indeed martial artists. Not only are their levels generally over 30, some even have skills, but they also all have titles.
I wanted to become an immortal so I went straight to Iron Axe Vajra, but Xiao Jie went straight to the Qigong instructor.
"Master, I would like to learn an internal skill from you. Is that possible?"
"Hahaha, what's the problem? Our martial arts school is open to everyone. As long as you can afford the tuition, anyone can learn. I know a lot of internal skills, but I don't know which one you want to learn.
A list of skills that could be learned suddenly popped up in front of Xiao Jie's eyes.
