Chapter 264: Hidden Loss
There are martial arts similar to the Qi-transforming technique.
In the city, there is a very famous defensive martial art called "Blood Armor Technique".
Once successfully cultivated, a blood-colored outer armor will appear on the body with a thought, resisting all attacks.
This martial art has attracted countless forces.
But it is unique to the Qingshui Marquis's Mansion, and other forces cannot learn it even if they want to.
Moreover, the "Blood Armor Technique" is extremely difficult to cultivate. In the more than 200 years of history of the Qingshui Marquis's Mansion, only two young geniuses have successfully cultivated it.
"This "Blood Armor Technique" can only be cultivated by peerless geniuses!"
This is the common understanding of the outside world.
Those with slightly worse talent cannot learn this martial art.
But as long as they succeed, they will not be afraid of any attack from the same level.
With blood armor protecting the body, even if you do nothing and stand and let the warriors of the same level attack, you will not be hurt at all.
Therefore, this martial art is considered to be the first defensive martial art in the city.
"Old man Fan, your Qingshui Marquis' Mansion and Chu Liang have a conflict, but you are willing to take out the "Blood Armor Technique"?" The guest official of Ruixian Marquis' Mansion also asked.
"Conflicts are conflicts, and business is business." Fan Chun said with a smile.
The third young master of the Marquis' Mansion, Wang Teng, also came and sat next to him.
Wang Teng sneered: "Chu Liang, I can swear on my future in martial arts that this Blood Armor Technique is a complete book without any deception. Do you dare to exchange it?"
Chu Liang replied calmly: "Why not?"
Wang Teng said again: "Don't blame me for not telling you that the Blood Armor Technique is extremely difficult to practice. Only peerless geniuses can practice it. Are you Chu Liang? If you can't practice it, your reputation as a young genius will be ruined!"
"Don't bother with this matter, Master Wang."
Chu Liang looked calm, but he was curious in his heart.
Why can the Blood Armor Technique form a blood-colored outer armor outside the body?
He was tempted and wanted to see it immediately.
Of course, if other forces can come up with better ones, he is willing to exchange them.
Chu Liang looked around and saw that the other forces were all in a dilemma. Even the other two baronial houses were shaking their heads. They really couldn't come up with anything better.
The title of the first defensive martial arts in the city is not just talk.
Just like that, the auction ended directly.
"Alas, this Qingshui Marquis's House is too cruel."
"I have prepared a second-rate defensive martial arts based on swordsmanship, but I didn't expect them to directly take out the "Blood Armor Technique". I can't compare."
Representatives of various forces sighed and showed regret.
This transaction was dominated by the black market, and the Qingshui Marquis's House naturally did not dare to deceive.
Even the lord family was unwilling to face the master.
"I don't know if Chu Liang can successfully practice the "Blood Armor Technique."
"He is a young genius, the only one in his twenties in the entire city who is in the skin refining realm. If he can't do it, who else can do it?"
Everyone discussed it. They didn't know that the eldest lady of the Marquis's House was also a skin refining, so they said so.
Soon, the transaction was reached.
In front of everyone, the black market witnessed the two sides exchanging goods.
The Qingshui Marquis' Mansion gave the "Blood Armor Art" to Chu Liang, and Chu Liang also gave the shell of the Earth-Splitting Pangolin to the Qingshui Marquis' Mansion.
This shell was of no use to him, after all, he could produce the Skin-Dissolving Pills continuously.
"You all saw that the shell has been given to the Qingshui Marquis' Mansion. Don't bother Chu Liang again in the future!"
He Xiao looked around and said to everyone.
Everyone in the venue responded.
Wang Teng put away the shell, looked at Chu Liang, and sneered: "Chu Liang, you should practice this "Blood Armor Art" well. If you can't practice it, don't blame me, the Qingshui Marquis' Mansion, haha..."
After that, he turned and left.
Hearing this, everyone present was a little surprised.
"Master Wang Teng, are you sure that Chu Liang can't practice it successfully?"
If not, how could he say such a thing?
What is the secret of the Blood Armor Art?
He Xiao's face darkened, and he turned to Chu Liang and said, "Chu Liang, this transaction is led by my Black Market. If there is any problem with the "Blood Armor Art", you should tell me immediately. The Black Market will never let you suffer a loss!"
"Okay, thank you very much."
Chu Liang bowed, and then applied for a secret room in the black market and read the "Blood Armor Art".
This martial arts book is not thick, and he finished it quickly.
After reading it, Chu Liang suddenly realized: "So that's it, no wonder..."
No wonder Wang Teng is so arrogant and wanton!
Only after reading the whole "Blood Armor Art" can you understand that this martial arts is really not something that ordinary people can practice.
It does not require talent, but resources!
"Fortunately, I don't lack resources at all."
Chu Liang put away the "Blood Armor Art", breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out of the secret room.
Outside the secret room, He Xiao was still there.
He immediately asked: "How is it, is there a problem?"
Chu Liang shook his head: "No problem."
"Since there is no problem, why did Wang Teng say that?" He Xiao was worried and asked Chu Liang to take another look.
"It's indeed no problem, but the resources needed to practice this "Blood Armor Art" are calculated in silver, at least two million taels." Chu Liang said.
"What? Two million?!"
He Xiao was shocked, and his face immediately became ugly.
Even with his temperament, he wanted to curse at this moment.
You know, ordinary mid-level treasures are only worth tens of thousands of taels!
This "Blood Armor Art" requires too much. Even if a normal person has two million, he would not be willing to practice a martial art.
At the same time, the news of the transaction has spread throughout the city.
All forces have learned that the carapace has changed hands.
Everyone marveled at Uncle Qingshui's decisiveness, and they were all curious as to whether Chu Liang could successfully practice the "Blood Armor Technique"?
"Blood Armor Technique?"
In the Hou Mansion, the eldest lady Wei Muxue heard the news.
She said calmly: "Then Chu Liang suffered a secret loss."
The maid on the side asked: "Miss, is there something wrong with the blood armor technique?"
"Um."
Wei Muxue nodded slightly and said: "Let the news out that "Blood Armor Technique" requires not talent, but resources. As long as there are enough resources, anyone can practice it."
The maid was surprised: "Miss, isn't it true that only peerless geniuses can practice?"
"Peerless genius?"
Wei Muxue sneered.
She shook her head and said: "That's just a lie made up by Uncle Qingshui's house. Do you know Tian Canyi?"
The maid replied: "I have heard of it."
"Celestial Silkworm Clothes are made of snow-covered Heavenly Silkworms. They are invulnerable to water and fire, and invulnerable to swords and guns." Wei Muxue explained, "The same is true for the so-called 'blood armor'. A kind of silkworm needs to be cultivated and fed with Qi and blood medicine... …Once in danger, the silkworm can spit out blood and turn into a treasure armor outside the body.”
"Ah, is it like this?" The maid was surprised.
"That's right!" Wei Muxue said: "If you want to form a treasure armor instantly, you need to cultivate at least 7,749 silkworms, which consumes countless resources. Counting it as silver taels, it will cost at least two million taels!"
"What?"
The maid was stunned.
Two million taels is an astronomical figure for someone with her status as a prince.
Wei Muxue was relatively indifferent and said: "That Chu Liang's talent is not bad, but he is arrogant and too stupid! If he is willing to sign a lifelong contract and become my personal guard, how can he suffer such a disadvantage?"
