I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 238 Treasure Appraisal
"Isn't this the clone that my husband created some time ago?"

Ya Ya popped out from behind Xiao Wuji, glaring at him angrily, and asked, "Didn't you say before that clones couldn't be recalled?"

Xiao Wuji poked Ya Ya's pufferfish-like cheek, then said with a look of disappointment, "Of course it's because my strength has increased again, right? What else could it be?"

"Speaking of which, you've already slept with them, so you're not still thinking about regretting it, are you?"

When Xiao Wuji saw through her thoughts, Ya Ya instantly became furious and pointed at him, saying, "You, you, you, you actually dare to slander me, Immortal Ya Ya!"

Xiao Wuji pulled Ya Ya into his arms and breathed into her ear, saying, "Do you want to fight me one-on-one again?"

"No, no, I didn't..."

Honghong frowned, forming a deep frown, and forcefully separated the two who were snuggling together. Then she said in a deep voice, "Husband, can you tell us what kind of world it is?"

"That world was a world of despair, but I brought them hope..."

Xiao Wuji briefly explained the situation in that world to them, and then firmly stated that he had not been involved in any philandering in that world...!
All the treasures that appeared at the Four Clans Auction were incredibly valuable. Thinking back to the original novel, where spirit stones were worth hundreds of millions, Xiao Wuji couldn't help but shed tears. He used to be someone who wasn't short of money, but he had to empty his pockets to change his cultivation method!
Therefore, in order to collect some spirit stones, Xiao Wuji had no choice but to turn his attention to his many secret manuals. These things could all be copied, and selling one or two copies would not have much of an impact on him.

Of course, we must first exclude those methods obtained from other worlds, because they are not part of the same system and it is easy for people to see through them.

Among the secret arts of this world, the only one that can fetch a price is the Golden Jade Book!

He had memorized everything in the Golden Jade Book. It wouldn't matter if he sold it all, but selling one and a half pieces at once would be a bit shocking, so he could only pick one out.

Ultimately, Xiao Wuji decided to trade away the "Earth Vein Refining Technique".

The Earth Vein Refining Technique is a method of extracting earth veins and refining them into weapons. It can be used not only in combat but also to assist in cultivation. However, it is somewhat useless to Xiao Wuji!
Instead of wasting time refining this magical artifact, it would be better to let him "eat" the earth's veins!
Furthermore, it's unknown how many top-tier spiritual veins would be needed to refine a "magic weapon" to a usable level, and apart from body cultivators, almost no one can use such a magic weapon.

……

Four Ethnic Groups Auction House, Appraisal Room!
"Golden Palace and Jade Book?!?"

All three appraisers looked as if they had seen a ghost. The price of this thing wasn't high, after all, many things were beyond the reach of cultivation in this world.

However, if this thing could truly be refined or cultivated in this world, its value would be immeasurable!

The embarrassing thing is that all three of them had only heard of this thing, never seen it, let alone recognized what it contained!

“Fellow Daoist, this item is beyond our scope of appraisal. We need to report to the elders for a decision! Please wait here for a moment…”

"As soon as possible!"

The three people in front of me are all Void Refinement cultivators, so their so-called elders are probably only at the Body Integration stage, or in their words, they are members of the Holy Clan.

Xiao Wuji had no worries about the approaching Nascent Soul cultivator. Not only was his own strength sufficient to allow him to act without restraint, but even if he wanted to conceal his cultivation level, ordinary Mahayana cultivators would be completely unable to see through it. Let alone a mere Nascent Soul cultivator?

Xiao Wuji and his companions didn't have to wait long. After only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a refined and elegant cultivator dressed in a brocade robe, with a fair complexion and no beard, who looked no different from an ordinary human, appeared in the appraisal room.

The newcomer bowed to Xiao Wuji and said, "I am Xiao Buyi, greetings to this fellow Daoist!"

"Xiao Wuji greets fellow Daoist!"

"Upon hearing that you wish to auction a page of the Jade Book, I immediately rushed over. I hope I haven't taken up too much of your time!" Xiao Buyi was a respectable man and liked to speak politely. "Indeed, I do wish to auction a Jade Book, and it is indeed the kind that can be successfully refined in this realm!"

After saying that, Xiao Wuji took out the Golden Jade Book again, placed it on the table, and then made a gesture of invitation.

Xiao Buyi picked up the jade book and examined it carefully, but after a short while he frowned because the second half of the jade book was sealed, and it was obvious who sealed it.

Normally, secret manuals and the like need to be sealed when they are sold. However, this cannot be done when they are auctioned, because no one can guarantee the authenticity of the latter part of the content.

"Fellow Daoist, could you please break this seal?"

"hehe!"

Xiao Wuji sneered, "Unsealing the seal, what's the difference between that and giving it to you for free?"

"But how can I be sure of the authenticity of this item if you don't break the seal?"

Unconsciously, Xiao Buyi's tone became a bit more serious. Under normal circumstances, any martial arts manual must be appraised by an appraiser before it goes on the auction stage. This is almost an unwritten rule in all auction houses! It is also a very subtle perk in auction houses.

"The material of this item speaks for itself!"

Although Xiao Wuji planned to sell the item, he did not want its contents to fall into the hands of too many people. After all, the more people who know the same secret technique, the less valuable it becomes!

"The Golden Jade Book is a treasure left behind by immortals. Even a Saint Clan cultivator cannot tear it open!"

This Golden Jade Book is a treasure of the Immortal Realm. Let alone a mere cultivator with the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator, even without using immortal artifacts and Chaos Fire, it would take him considerable effort to tear it apart.

"Besides, as long as the auction isn't over, do you think I can just run away?"

Upon hearing Xiao Wuji's words, Xiao Buyi knew that this item was completely out of his reach, and any further pursuit would only make him a laughingstock.

"Fine, I'll give it a try!"

With a flick of his sleeve, a magical flying sword wreathed in blue light flew out. However, he did not immediately slash at Yu Shu. Instead, as if venting his anger, he unleashed a series of spells at the magical flying sword, instantly amplifying its power.

clang!
As Xiao Buyi's sword fell, the Golden Jade Book emitted a burst of spiritual light to resist. Although the flying sword eventually made contact with the Jade Book's body, it did not harm it in the slightest. Even the table beneath the Jade Book remained unaffected, as if the power of the sword had been completely absorbed by the Jade Book.

Seeing this, even if Xiao Buyi really wanted to see it, he had no choice but to put it up for auction.

"Please tell me what's written inside, so I can price this item!"

"The secret technique inside is called the 'Earth Vein Refining Technique,' which can extract earth veins to refine magical treasures. Not only can it aid in combat, but it's also equivalent to carrying countless spiritual veins with you, which can assist in cultivation..."

Xiao Wuji explained the details of the secret technique to him in detail, and then paused before saying:

"Theoretically, as long as the earth's veins are strong enough and plentiful enough, it is quite possible to refine them into immortal artifacts!"
