Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1537 - Obtaining the Fist Art

“Alright, it’s worth competing for it. I will obtain a powerful fist art, and it could help me create my Royal Path Divine Fist!”

Chen Fan’s eyes flashed with a brilliant light as he decided to fight for the Seven Stars Fist Art.

He had no experience in creating a martial art. Roal Path Divine Fist came to him as a sudden flash of inspiration. Aside from the first move, he was utterly clueless on how to continue.

Studying how these seasoned experts crafted their arts had already broadened his horizons and opened his mind to new possibilities.

Suddenly, Qi Dong’s voice rang out from one of the private chambers.

“Hoho, everyone, I, Qi Dong, am from the Star Origin Sect, and cultivate the power of stars. This martial art, being of the star attribute, really seems destined for me. Besides, it’s incomplete, so none of you will ever master it entirely, so why not show me some courtesy...?” 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The Star Origin Sect was also a king-level major force, no weaker than the Heavenly Fiend Sect. As their pride of heaven, the sect had nurtured Qi Dong with great care, providing him with all kinds of elixirs and immortal arts. For him, even a complete high-grade immortal art would be given freely by the sect, no questions asked.

The incomplete Seven Stars Fist Art couldn’t draw much of his interest, but if he could win it and hand it over to the sect, perhaps the Immortal King realm experts in the sect could complete it. Thus, the sect would have another high-grade immortal art, and he would have achieved great merit for his contribution.

However, before Qi Dong could finish his sentence, a mocking voice rang out from another private chamber, “Young Leader of the great Star Origin Sect, can’t you cough up a mere few tens of thousands of immortal stones? Must you resort to bullying us with your sect’s name?”

The crowd instantly recognized the owner of that voice.

“That’s Young Master Poison!”

“As expected, the conflict earlier is continuing at the auction!”

“But while you can suppress others with the name of the Star Origin Sect, you can’t suppress me, E Xiangtian. 60 thousand immortal stones!”

Young Master Poison’s real name was E Xiangtian, and he directly raised the bid by ten thousand immortal stones.

“70 thousand!” Qi Dong immediately increased his bid by ten thousand immortal stones.

“75 thousand!” E Xiangtian raised the bid by another five thousand immortal stones, as if here bidding literal stones.

“80 thousand!” Qi Dong seemed determined to fight E Xiangtian.

“85 thousand!”

E Xiangtian was just about to give up when, unexpectedly, Qi Dong stopped bidding. Instead, he laughed and taunted, “E Xiangtian, you really are a witless brute! Didn’t you realize I was only drawing you two out? Dropping 85 thousand on an incomplete immortal art suits your intellect perfectly!”

A dull thud immediately rang out from E Xiangtian’s private chamber. Simultaneously, overwhelming anger swept through, sending a chill through the people and leaving them silent.

Bang!

The crowd finally caught on: Qi Dong’s whole show of "courtesy" was a ruse, a cleverly set trap for either E Xiangtian or the Shark Crown Prince. He wanted one of them to take the bait!

A complete mid-grade immortal art would fetch only around 100 thousand stones. While the Seven Stars Fist Art, once a high-grade immortal art, might have gone for 500-600 hundred thousand when whole, it was now just an incomplete mid-grade; some even feared it carried risks. 70 thousand was already a steep price.

Originally, E Xiangtian was also planning to mess with Qi Dong and make him bleed immortal stones. In the end, he was tricked instead.

85 thousand immortal stones were definitely a huge sum. Even someone as wealthy as E Xiangtian would feel the sting from spending so much money.

Worse, he’d just bought an incomplete martial art, utterly useless to him. Anyone in his shoes would be close to spitting blood!

If they weren’t in the Sunny Day Chamber of Commerce, he would have charged right over to Qi Dong’s private chambers and fought him.

“Ahhh, Qi Dong, you bastard, how dare you trick me!”

E Xiangtian’s face twisted in anger.

“Knowing how stupid you are, who will I trick if not you?” Qi Dong paid no mind to E Xiangtian’s anger and continued taunting him.

“Ahhh, you bastard, I’ll rip you into pieces when the auction ends. I will eat your flesh raw!”

“You’re indeed an uncivilized beast that likes eating raw meat. But my biggest hobby is taming beasts, and I happen to be lacking a beast to bring me around. You will do!”

“Ahhh, you’re courting death! You’re courting death! How dare you insult the noble poison crocodile tribe? You’re dead! You’re dead! Not even an Immortal King realm expert can save you!”

“I’m so scared!”

The crowd was dumbfounded, shrinking back in their seats.

Chen Fan couldn’t be bothered with their war of words.

“90 thousand immortal stones!”

If they kept fighting, he figured he could snatch the Seven Stars Fist Art for a reasonable price. Now that Qi Dong had pulled out and E Xiangtian realized he’d been made a fool, E Xiangtian could only pray someone else would outbid him, sparing his wallet the fatal blow.

As soon as Chen Fan called his bid, the auction hall fell silent. Even the fuming E Xiangtian calmed down.

“Good!” E Xiangtian couldn’t help but cry out loud.

Gongsun Jing and the others had already composed themselves, ready to compete for the key to the herbal garden. So, they were also shaken inside when they heard Chen Fan calling out a bid for 90 thousand immortal stones with a wave of his hand.

Paying 90 thousand immortal stones for an incomplete martial art. He truly was rich and... generous.

Chen Fan’s identity had always been a mystery to them. Furthermore, he had also gotten his share of over 100 thousand immortal stones from the Deng Clan’s fortune and had enough money to buy this Seven Stars Fist Art, so no one challenged his decision.

So, none of them said anything.

Ever since offending Fairy Crimson Lightning, they had been in a heavy mood.

Fairy Yao glanced at chamber number nine, Chen Fan’s private chamber. She said pleasantly, “The guest in chamber number nine has bid 90 thousand immortal stones. Is there anyone offering a higher price?”

90 thousand for an incomplete technique was nearly the price of a full mid-grade immortal art. Still, no one was foolish enough to keep bidding. They’d rather spend that money on something whole.

Of course, if they had Chen Fan’s ability to deduce martial arts, let alone 90 thousand immortal stones, they wouldn’t think it was too much even if the price was 200 thousand immortal stones.

No one continued raising the price. In the end, the Seven Stars Fist Art fell into Chen Fan’s hands.

Shortly afterward, an attendant came to chamber number nine with the Seven Stars Fist Art’s jade slip. After verifying its authenticity, Chen Fan took out 90 thousand immortal stones and completed the transaction.

Buying a high-grade immortal art with 90 thousand immortal stones. Chen Fan had definitely made a huge profit.
