The three of them spent a full hour in the teahouse, and after putting a whole pot of tea into their stomachs, they stood up and walked out of the teahouse.

Just as they walked into the sun, the three of them retracted their steps in unison and retreated to the shade.

"Cousin, with such a huge sun, even if you have a life-and-death hatred, I'm afraid you have to stay back a little bit."

Chen Beijiang looked at the blazing sun hanging high in the sky and couldn't help but sigh: "If you go patrolling the streets under this big sun, you might get heatstroke at some point."

Ji Longcheng nodded and said with deep approval: "Bei Xian, you are right."

"I wonder what Brother Su thinks?"

Ji Longcheng and Chen Beijiang both looked at Su Yu.

Facing their gazes, Su Yu said faintly, "We'll be arriving at the hotel soon."

Hearing Su Yu's words, Ji Longcheng and Chen Beijiang's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Ji Longcheng said thoughtfully: "It has been several days since I went to the Junyue Inn to eat monster meat."

"Walk?"

"Walk!"

The three of them looked at each other, immediately strengthened their determination, and headed straight towards the Junyue Inn.

Just after walking half a mile, the three of them saw a group of people watching the excitement on the street not far ahead.

Chen Beijiang said: "Cousin, let's go and have a look too?"

Ji Longcheng curled his lips and said, "What's so interesting? You can tell at a glance that it's a trick to lure people here to get money."

In his opinion, Ji Longcheng would rather go to the Grand Hyatt Inn to eat monster meat than watch the excitement.

After all, the hotel is right away, and if it's too late, the group of animals from the Zhenwu Division will rob them all.

The two people had different opinions, so they naturally looked at Su Yu.

"Why don't you go take a look? It won't take long anyway."

Su Yu smiled and said: "Besides, this is Tianxin Street. If something happens and we don't report it immediately, we must be responsible."

Hearing this, Ji Longcheng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look."

Immediately, the three of them squeezed into the crowd and pushed toward the center.

When the three of them arrived at the center of the crowd, they immediately understood roughly what had happened.

I saw a stall owner sitting there, with an unknown animal skin in front of him, and small calligraphy written on the animal skin.

The characters on the animal skin are obviously characters from ancient times. For those who have not systematically studied ancient characters, they have no idea what is written on the animal skin.

However, the stall owner knew that not many people knew the characters on it, so he wrote four big characters on the side: Ancient Martial Arts.

Seeing the words "ancient martial arts", Su Yu and the three of them couldn't help but be stunned.

Most of the martial arts practiced by warriors today are simplified from the martial arts of ancient times, and a small part were created by warriors of later generations themselves.

Later generations of warriors all have a unified evaluation of the martial arts of ancient times: although they are powerful, they take a long time to practice.

The martial arts in ancient times were much more powerful when used than the martial arts of the same level in later generations.

But the time required to practice the martial arts of ancient times is several times that of the martial arts of later generations.

If it takes three years to practice a yellow-level primary martial arts to the point of proficiency, then it may take ten years to practice a yellow-level primary martial arts from ancient times.

The life time of a warrior is extremely limited.

Compared with spending a lot of time practicing the martial arts left over from ancient times, and then showing the power of slightly higher martial arts than later generations, it is often not worth the gain.

After all, a warrior cannot spend his life just practicing martial arts.

He also has to improve his cultivation level, and in order to speed up his cultivation level, he must collect various cultivation resources to speed up his own cultivation level improvement.

If a lot of time is spent just practicing martial arts, then the time spent on other aspects will inevitably decrease.

Martial arts from ancient times are often not as easy to practice as martial arts from later generations.

Even if the martial arts in ancient times were slightly better than those in later generations, not many people would practice them.

Rather than practicing ancient martial arts, wouldn't it be better if you use that time to improve your cultivation?

After all, if a Bronze Skin Realm warrior fights against a Body Refining Realm warrior, even if he practices martial arts for later generations, he can win easily.

It is precisely because of various reasons that the martial arts of ancient times have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history.

Warriors prefer martial arts that are easy to understand and easy to practice, and instead spend most of their energy on improving their cultivation and obtaining training resources.

Martial arts from ancient times have gradually become useless.

Even though ancient martial arts are powerful and cheap, no warriors buy them and then spend a lot of time practicing them.

A yellow-level elementary martial arts book can be sold for about 500 yuan crystals, but an ancient yellow-level elementary martial arts book rarely attracts even 100 yuan crystals...

These people came together to watch the fun, and they obviously wanted to see who would pay for this ancient martial arts book.

After all, these days, there are really not many people who dare to practice ancient martial arts.

As long as people are not particularly poor, they will not choose to waste time practicing ancient martial arts.

"Boss, how do you sell your martial arts skills?"

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask.

The boss said: "Five hundred low-grade Yuanjing!"

Wow!

Upon hearing the words "five hundred low-grade Yuan Jing", everyone present was in an uproar.

Five hundred Yuan Jing is not a small amount of money, converted into silver, it is a full ten thousand taels.

For ordinary people, ten thousand taels of silver is enough to live a lifetime without worries about food and clothing.

Of course, for a warrior, five hundred yuan crystals are just a few years of training resources.

However, the price for selling an ancient martial arts book at such an expensive price still makes people secretly shocked. This boss really dares to ask for the price. Does he really think he is a fool?

"Who would practice this martial arts from ancient times? It's probably hard to sell even fifty yuan crystals for 500 low-grade yuan crystals."

"Hehe, maybe if you call me fifty yuan crystal, the boss will immediately agree to sell it."

"The martial arts in ancient times are as useless as chicken ribs. Who would practice them now?"

"Mad, you dare to sell five hundred yuan crystals, even if you give them to me, I feel embarrassed. This thing takes a lot of time to practice. Isn't it good for me to use that time to practice and improve my cultivation level?"

"I just don't know if there are any wrongdoers."

"..."

Everyone was talking and shaking their heads.

Everyone knows that this ancient martial art cannot be sold for the price of 500 low-grade Yuanjing.

Otherwise, why would it be sold on the street or sold at auction? Isn’t it possible to maximize its value?

Obviously no one cared about this thing, so he had no choice but to take action in this way.

I guess someone gave me the money and the boss agreed immediately.

"Let's go."

Ji Longcheng signaled and prepared to leave.

"Brother Ji, wait a minute." Su Yu called to Ji Longcheng.

Ji Longcheng was startled when he heard this and said in confusion: "Brother Su, what are you doing?"

"Brother Su, you don't want to buy this ancient martial arts book, do you?"

Chen Beijiang couldn't help but look stunned.

Su Yu smiled and said: "Haha, I am quite interested in the martial arts of ancient times. If the price is right, it would be a good thing to buy it and study it."

Immediately he stepped forward, looked at the stall owner and said, "Do you want to sell five pieces of low-grade Yuan Jing?"

Five pieces of low-grade Yuan Jing?

When everyone present heard this, their faces twitched violently.

The boss calls for five hundred low-grade Yuan Jing, so you counter-offer and just cut it down a hundred times?

Even the stall owner was stunned by Su Yu's counteroffer.

Five pieces of low-grade Yuan Jing?
