One sword cheat

Chapter 60 The Millionaire, The Acquired Method

16900000!

A week later, Chen Ren stared at Zero, who made him so happy he was almost dizzy, and felt like he was floating.

It felt like a dream, so unreal.

Sixteen million nine hundred thousand!

He had never seen so much money in his life. Thinking back to himself just six months ago, he was so poor that he didn't even have money for food. Life's ups and downs have happened so fast.

"Ahem, junior brother, there's something I need to make clear to you."

Wang Chengxian found Chen Rendao and said, "Although we sold so many of your ancient beasts at high prices, but..."

"But what?" Chen Ren's gaze sharpened, his killing intent landing on him with palpable intensity: "What 'but'!"

Damn it, anything that gets involved with him is bound to be bad. This is his money, and he'll wipe out anyone who tries to touch it!

"Junior brother, please don't do this, I'm scared."

Wang Chengxian coughed and said, "According to the tax regulations, we also have to pay 3% value-added tax, 1% surtax, and 5% income tax from Qingcheng Mountain Academy, which governs us. That adds up to 9% in total."

"These are nothing compared to the fact that the bulk of the tax is 30% for amounts exceeding ten million, bringing the total to 39%."

"What?!!"

[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +99!]

99 is not Chen Ren's limit, but the limit of his level!

"Am I pretty? This time they're going to deduct almost half my pay? Why don't they just rob me?"

"I will never pay this money, absolutely never! Either kill me or I'll pay it!"

"This isn't how you suppress combat power," Chen Ren slammed his fist on the table and said, "The money's already in my pocket. You think you can take my money? No way!"

He won't give away a single penny of that 1690 million.

"Junior brother, have you thought this through?"

Wang Chengxian said seriously, "If you don't pay this money, you will definitely be blacklisted."

"Unless you stay in Shangqing Peak and don't go out, you won't be able to take a bus, you won't be able to get a loan, and everything you do will be hindered."

"Besides, if you were to return to Earth one day, would you walk all the way back to Chengdu?"

"By the time I really want to go back to Earth, I'll already be able to fly on a sword."

Chen Ren waved his hand and grabbed the bank card, then walked out the door.

"If you're so capable, tell them to bring their guns and shoot."

Wang Chengxian's words were stuck in his throat; in fact, he had anticipated this situation.

"That's good, then we won't have to go through the trouble of getting invoices, registering a personal company, and trying to get tax reduction policies."

This sum of money was truly enormous, a full 1690 million, and Chen Ren immediately spent a large portion of it.

First and foremost is the Longevity Technique, which he absolutely must acquire. It's worth 931 million, and he'll have to start practicing the second technique from today onwards.

Secondly, Shangqing Palace possesses the Great Cave True Scripture, so there's no need to buy it elsewhere. The Great Cave True Scripture can be considered the most prestigious cultivation method in the entire ancient world.

Therefore, his focus is on the acquired methods of the two martial arts techniques, the Overlapping Waves Technique and the Longevity Technique.

If you're going to learn something, learn the best. One of the greatest conveniences of human civilization is the ability to access the internet.

The best way to find the best practice methods with clearly marked prices is online.

The Overlapping Waves Technique is a prerequisite for the Azure Waves Technique. Once you reach the Acquired Realm, you must cultivate the Azure Waves Technique.

He learned that the Bitao Jue was priced at 1200 million, which was more expensive than the Die Lang Gong.

But he's rich and arrogant. He'll grit his teeth and buy it anyway, even if it means cutting off a zero with his sword!

Once the Azure Wave Technique is unleashed, the blood and qi will transform into internal energy, appearing as azure waves. Firstly, it is continuous and uninterrupted. Secondly, it is different; the blood and qi leave the body, so what appears to be a single strike actually contains multiple forces.

Having cultivated to the sixth level of power, one's strike possesses the power of six strikes, making one virtually invincible.

However... Chen Ren discovered that the Azure Wave Technique did not seem to be the best method for water-related cultivators in the Acquired Realm.

Its prerequisite technique, the Overlapping Waves Technique, is indeed the best method for the Qi and Blood Realm, but once you reach the Acquired Realm, all sorts of dazzling techniques completely overwhelm it.

The most widely recognized cultivation method is the Bitter Sea Technique, which is said to be infinitely profound. Those who cultivate this technique have never been defeated in the same realm.

Price of the Bitter Sea Technique: 9000 million!

The price made Chen Ren's eyelids tremble. Knowledge is priceless, but this knowledge was far too expensive.

The next level of cultivation technique is said to be only slightly weaker in power than the Bitter Sea Technique, and its foundation is only slightly weaker, yet its price is more than half that of the Bitter Sea Technique.

Only 4000 million.

For example, the Azure Clouds and Rain Technique, the Righteous Dragon Soaring Technique, the Great Compassion Cold Heart Technique, the Ice Heart Technique, etc...

But Chen Ren saw the four descriptive words that indicated a weak foundation and remained silent for a long time.

He wanted to save the money, but... he might regret it later.

Even cutting a zero with a sword would cost millions; it seems he doesn't have enough money.

I need to ask someone first.

Chen Ren pondered, realizing that his cheap master probably didn't have much time left. Her lifespan was almost over, and it was like a race against death. Chen Ren really didn't want to disturb her.

Then we'll have to find someone else, but who else on Shangqing Peak can answer his questions?

As he thought about it, his eyes began to light up. Then, Chen Ren decisively ran to the Sanqing Hall on the mountain. After arriving, he first carefully offered incense to the Sanqing Patriarch.

After the incense was offered, he repeatedly confessed, "I'm sorry, Ancestral Master, but don't worry, I'll offer you more incense later."

As he finished speaking, his gaze fixed on the futon on the ground. He lifted his foot, and his internal energy surged, faintly condensing into the Eye Ancestor Totem!

"Bang!"

The prayer mat that couldn't be kicked before was forced to tilt by two points under a kick with a force doubled to two thousand jin.

[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +100!]

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Chen Ren knew that Old Wu was indeed still there, and he immediately apologized with lightning speed.

"Grandmaster, I am truly ashamed. It is because I have doubts in my heart and cannot find anyone to answer them that I have resorted to this desperate measure."

If you apologize quickly enough, the harm won't reach you.

"Phew~"

A pipe hung over Chen Ren's forehead; if he was even half a beat slower, he'd get a beating.

"You little rascal, you're always causing me trouble."

Old Wu snorted in dissatisfaction: "Speak, what doubts are in your heart?"

He sized up the young man. He had been away for three months and had already reached the ninth level of Qi and Blood. At this speed, anyone who didn't know better would think he had only a second-grade aptitude.

Unfortunately, this child has a flawless physique, equivalent to a grade C aptitude. Perhaps he encountered some special opportunity.

"Well, I've reached the ninth level of Qi and Blood cultivation, and I'd like to ask my grandmaster, what are the differences between the various cultivation techniques available on the market?"

"I see that the most expensive Bitter Sea Technique costs as much as 90 million, but the next most expensive, Azure Cloud Rain Technique, only costs 40 million."

Do you think there's a big difference between them?

"difference?"

Old Wu chuckled: "Of course the difference is huge, otherwise why would they sell it for 9 million?"

"Considering you're a disciple of Yunqing, and that my Shangqing Palace has few people, this old Daoist will have a good talk with you. Do you know where these cultivation techniques come from?"

Chen Ren certainly didn't know, so he listened obediently and didn't dare to interrupt.

"These techniques have been passed down through generations of people who have continuously improved, refined, and eliminated the dross."

"Their rankings weren't determined by anyone; they were forged with blood and hatred. Do you know why the Bitter Sea Technique was able to rise to the top by such a dramatic margin?"
