In chaotic times, one can become a martial immortal.

"I don't want your cultivation technique!"

Seeing the rabbit-headed man blocking his way again, Lu Yuan frowned slightly and said directly, "Are you trying to force me to buy or sell?"

Although fighting is not allowed in this black market, it doesn't mean he can only be bullied.

"Minotaur, don't misunderstand!"

The rabbit-headed man quickly shook his head and said, "I'm not trying to force you to buy me the cultivation technique, but I have some information to sell you that's related to it."

"I'm only selling you this information for a pittance; believe it or not, it's up to you!"

After saying that, the rabbit-headed man stood there quietly.

"Speak!"

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then took out a tael of silver and tossed it to the other party.

"Ten days from now, the black market will hold an auction. Not only will many precious treasures be auctioned, but a special cultivation technique will also be presented as the grand finale."

The rabbit-headed man quickly stuffed the silver into his pocket and then said.

"The grand finale of the auction!"

Lu Yuan's gaze shifted slightly. A technique that could be used as the finale at an auction must be extraordinary.

Even with the three hundred taels he just received, his total wealth is only five hundred taels, which may not be enough to acquire this special technique that was presented as the grand finale.

Unless, of course, another windfall comes along, that should be enough!

"Oh, and here's another free piece of news for you: you're being watched!"

After saying that, the rabbit-headed man quickly left.

"So we were targeted after all?"

Lu Yuan frowned, but he showed no panic or surprise.

This is the black market, where all sorts of people gather, including wicked individuals who only want to kill, rob, and make a fortune.

He had just given away valuables worth three hundred taels of silver, so how could he not be targeted by these guys?

However, it's hard to say who the hunter and who the prey are.

Immediately, Lu Yuan strode out of the black market.

After crossing just one street, he spotted two dark figures following him around the corner.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Yuan suddenly quickened his pace.

"We've finally found a fat sheep, we can't let him get away!"

"Don't worry, this guy is obviously a complete novice. He doesn't even seem to have learned any movement techniques. What's wrong with letting him run a hundred steps more? We can catch up in the blink of an eye!"

Two men wearing black cloaks and masks with monkey and pig heads on their faces quickly followed.

Their speed was significantly faster than Lu Yuan's, and they were about to catch up.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan abruptly turned around and walked into the dark alley next to him.

"Foolish! How dare he venture alone into this dark alley? He's just asking for a good burial place!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the two followed into the dark alley.

"Run...why did you stop running?"

Seeing Lu Yuan standing there quietly, both of them couldn't help but smile.

"With so many people in the black market, why was I chosen?"

Lu Yuan asked with some curiosity.

Although he received three hundred taels of silver, there must have been many others in the black market who received much more.

"My eyes are very sharp; I can see clearly who can move and who cannot, so I have never made a mistake."

The monkey-faced man chuckled and said, "As for you, although you've concealed yourself very well, you still can't hide your novice aura. Now, from your eyes, I can see that you're not only not a seasoned veteran, but you're also definitely under twenty years old. You probably haven't been practicing martial arts for very long, and at most you're only at the Ming Jin level, right?"

"Yes and no!"

Lu Yuan smiled upon hearing this.

He was certainly not a seasoned veteran, and indeed not yet twenty years old, having only been practicing martial arts for a month. However, his strength far exceeded that of Ming Jin.

"Enough with the nonsense. I, Brother Monkey, never make a mistake. If you know what's good for you, hand over all your money, and maybe we can give you a quick death."

"The pig-faced man said coldly."

"Okay, here you go, all of it!"

Lu Yuan nodded and reached directly for the small bag at his waist.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In the blink of an eye, two iron beads, carrying a powerful and sharp aura, tore through the air and arrived in front of the pig-faced man.

"Be careful!"

The monkey-faced man shouted and reached out to push the pig-faced man away.

However, it was already too late.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Two iron beads easily pierced the pig-faced man's mask and penetrated deep into his brain.

Not only was he powerless to resist, but he didn't even have time to scream before he died instantly.

"This is a tough problem...retreat!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the monkey-faced man turned and fled.

Clearly, he had misjudged the situation. This was not a fat sheep at all, but a wolf, a real vicious wolf.

To defend against the iron beads, the monkey-faced man pushed his movement techniques to the limit.

Not only did it keep its body extremely low, but it also dodged left and right with incredible speed.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

With Lu Yuan flicking his fingers repeatedly, three iron beads shot out again at an extremely fast speed.

Once the Finger Flicking Skill is perfected, the iron bead can not only hit targets a hundred paces away, but its speed and power are also greatly improved. The aura it carries is almost as lethal as a blade.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Two of the iron balls, though they hit the ground, also made a hole in it.

The remaining iron bead had already completely disappeared into the monkey-faced man's body.

"Bang!"

The monkey-faced man crashed heavily to the ground and was unable to move an inch for a moment.

Lu Yuan strode over and looked down at the monkey-faced man.

"Cough cough cough... If I was just joking with you just now... could you forgive me this time?"

The monkey-faced man struggled to raise his head, coughing up blood as he spoke in a trembling voice.

"Don't be silly, someone as experienced as you shouldn't ask such a question!"

Lu Yuan's eyes revealed a playful look as he spoke calmly.

Those who dare to intercept and kill him should be prepared to be killed in return.

"Wait, if I'm willing to tell you where I've hidden the money, will you spare my life?"

Seeing that Lu Yuan was about to make a move, the monkey-faced man hurriedly said.

"You point me to the bottom!"

After searching the pig-faced man for a while, Lu Yuan grabbed the monkey-faced man and carried him out of the alley like a chick.

Before long, guided by the monkey-faced man, he arrived at a deserted, dilapidated courtyard.

Then they found a pottery jar in a pit next to the outhouse.

Upon opening the earthenware jar, one found not only loose silver and banknotes, but also two booklets that resembled martial arts manuals.

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up; it was another unexpected delight!

"Let me go, and all of this is yours!"

The monkey-faced man quickly replied.

"Kill you, and all of this will be mine!"

Lu Yuan turned to look at the monkey-faced man and said calmly.

"You...you have no sportsmanship! You clearly agreed..."

The monkey-faced man's eyes were bloodshot, as if the sky were about to collapse.

"Then go find Mingming!"

Lu Yuan held up one finger and asked, "How many is this?"

"One, it is one!"

The monkey-faced man roared in response.

"You know too much!"

Lu Yuan slowly uttered a detached voice, then directly slashed down with his sword.
