"Just these three?"
After Profound Tiger finished speaking, Su Que asked.
"Just these three," Profound Tiger replied.
Su Que had previously asked Zhang Bengen, a Class C disciple, whose current total rit points were 13,561.
To be promoted to a Class B disciple, one needed to accumulate 30,000 rit points.
The three targets provided by Profound Tiger were only four to five hundred rit points.
Even with such targets, you’d have to eliminate more than thirty of them to accumulate 30,000 rit points.
Killing more than thirty people with this level of Martial Arts Realm isn’t difficult; the critical point is not knowing how long it will take to gather these thirty-plus targets.
"Are there any targets that can earn more rit points?" Su Que asked.
"Yes, but that target is not sothing you can handle," Profound Tiger said.
"Could you please tell it to ?" Su Que asked, clasping his fists.
Profound Tiger: "You can’t handle it; saying it is pointless."
’Damn you...’
Su Que wished he could punch Profound Tiger straight through.
But killing Profound Tiger might be a montary thrill, but his "Greedy Wolf" identity would no longer be usable.
Unable to do otherwise, Su Que put aside this thought and then said:
"Would you be willing to na a price or make a request, for you to give all the Cultivation Techniques of the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons?"
"Hmph." Profound Tiger sneered, "Privately transmitting Martial Arts is a major taboo in the Tang Sect."
"Just by saying that, if I report it, they might send soone to destroy your identity plaque, ruin your Martial Arts, and expel you from the Tang Sect."
"One thousand taels!" Su Que suddenly said.
"Hmph, you still dare to say." Profound Tiger responded coldly.
"Two thousand taels!" Su Que continued.
"Ha." Profound Tiger sneered.
"Three thousand taels!" Su Que continued.
"Do you really have three thousand taels?" Profound Tiger asked.
Three thousand taels; he was sowhat tempted.
Toxic materials, Elixirs, Hidden Weapon forging materials, and others all require Silver Coins.
Three thousand taels would cover quite a bit of his expenses.
Su Que said, "Of course, I don’t drink, don’t gamble, don’t visit brothels, rarely even go to a restaurant."
"Everyday Silver Coins, after making Hidden Weapons and configuring poisons, are saved up."
"Of course, I can save up three thousand taels."
"You really are sothing," Profound Tiger said,
"The Cultivation thod of Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons that I know, I could consider giving it to you, but you cannot tell a second person about this."
"If you tell soone, we’ll both be in trouble."
"That’s only natural," Su Que said.
"And the three thousand taels?" Profound Tiger asked.
"How could I carry it with ?" Su Que said, "I naturally have to go back and retrieve it."
"When will you retrieve it?" Profound Tiger asked.
"I’ll go retrieve the money now, while you, during the ti I retrieve the money, write down all the Cultivation thod of Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons you know on a piece of paper." Su Que said:
"We’ll et back here in one stick of incense ti."
Profound Tiger said, "You’re Class C, I’m Class B, I’ll only give you the Class B disciple’s readable portion of the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons. I can write it out without one stick of incense ti, but you go quickly retrieve the money, I have important matters later!"
"Alright, I’ll be quick."
With that, Su Que used the Ghost Shadow Smoke Step, a Tang Sect’s Lightweight Skill, and darted toward a small alley.
Profound Tiger watched and smirked to himself: This Ghost Shadow Smoke Step is decent, but it’s far inferior to mine.
...
Su Que imdiately returned to Zhang Bengen’s residence, gathered a thousand plus taels, and added the silver notes he had to make up three thousand taels, then returned to Xijiao Lane.
Profound Tiger waited at Xijiao Lane, holding a folded piece of paper in his hand.
Su Que showed Profound Tiger the silver notes and silver bars that totaled three thousand taels.
"I’ve brought the three thousand taels. Where’s the Cultivation thod for Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons?" Su Que asked.
"Let see first, to check if it’s real," Profound Tiger replied.
Su Que imdiately flipped the silver notes for Profound Tiger to see.
Then, he took out each silver bar, letting Profound Tiger inspect them in the sunlight.
’They are real! This guy can really save money!’
Profound Tiger’s eyes glead.
For a mont, he entertained the thought of simply robbing the money.
If he gave Su Que the Cultivation thod for Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons, and the Tang Sect found out, he would be severely punished.
If he stole the money, no one would mind.
However, he asured in his heart, thinking with "Greedy Wolf’s" prowess, he couldn’t handle him within ten moves.
If they were to fight, both would unleash Hidden Weapons, causing great noise, attracting attention from nearby residents.
’Forget it; anyway, with Greedy Wolf’s skill, he would eventually reach Class B, he’d naturally get the Cultivation thod of Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons I provided then.’
’And if he leaks this matter, he would get in trouble too; he likely won’t speak of it.’
Thinking this, Profound Tiger said, "Trade money for goods."
"You’ve seen my Silver Coins; you should let verify your Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons is genuine," Su Que said, packing away his money.
"Alright."
Profound Tiger impatiently unfolded a piece of paper, revealing part of the contents for Su Que to see.
Su Que glanced at it, finding the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons Profound Tiger wrote to be consistent with what Greedy Wolf provided, seemingly genuine.
Even if fake, it’s no loss, just a failed attempt.
"Alright." Su Que nodded, "Trade money for goods."
Profound Tiger handed over a paper recording part of the Cultivation thod of the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons.
With his left hand, he went to take Su Que’s bundle containing three thousand taels.
Just as Su Que grasped the paper, when Profound Tiger took the bundle,
Su Que suddenly moved, his right hand clenched into a fist, transforming into a blur, smashing toward Profound Tiger.
"You...!"
Profound Tiger was shocked by Su Que’s sudden attack, readying to reach for the Hidden Weapons hidden under his cloak.
But unexpectedly, Su Que’s action speed exceeded his expectations!
Bang!
Profound Tiger, halfway reaching down, had his head punched by Su Que.
Imdiately, Profound Tiger felt a giant force collide with his skull, eyes first jolting then going black, losing consciousness, collapsing in the alley.
Su Que bent down, picking up the bundle of three thousand taels.
Since privately transmitting Martial Arts is a major taboo in Tang Sect, Profound Tiger wouldn’t dare ntion his loss and swallowing the bitter fruit.
Moreover, Su Que’s punch had restrained force, rely knocking him out and causing no injury.
In the future, he could continue using his "Greedy Wolf" identity.
Su Que tucked the paper with the remaining Cultivation thod for the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons into his clothing, slung the bundle of three thousand taels over his shoulder.
Finally, he searched Profound Tiger, taking all silver coins over one hundred taels and Hidden Weapons, and then exerted his foot, leaving the alley.
