Cultivation: I Inherite The Strongest Account In A Sect Simulator

Chapter 141 A Mysterious Old Man Came to Visit!

The Fenghuo Auction was not over yet, but Jiang Yiming’s focus was no longer on it. Let alone the fact that he had yet to fully understand the cultivation technique in his hands, even in terms of his strength, it had been some time since he had improved.

Therefore, he had no intention of going to the auction the next day. He just gave a pile of spirit stones to his disciples and let them buy what they please.

They could literally buy what they please since it was impossible for him to go bankrupt.

On the other hand, he requested the inn staff to help him get a large number of ancient books, wondering if the method to crack the cultivation technique was recorded in one of the ancient books.

Just when he was having a headache, there was a knock on his desk, “Sect leader Jiang, a guest has requested to see you.”

“Guest? What guest?” Jiang Yiming frowned. How could there be a guest at a time like this?

“I’m not sure either. He looks like a celestial, though, and says that he wants to see the sect leader of the Lingyun Sect.” “Fine then, let him in first.”

After a while, just as the doorman had said, an old man pushed the door open and entered. Jiang Yiming didn’t look at him in detail either, being immersed in the book in his hand.

“As expected of the famous sect leader of the Lingyun Sect, you really live up to your reputation!” The moment that person entered, his words were full of praise.

Jiang Yiming was a little confused. He sensed that the guy before him was at least at the middle stage of the Incarnation Realm. What was the other party thinking of coming to find him alone?

“The Lingyun Sect is just a fourth-rank sect, far from powerful. I wonder why you are here?”

“Sect Leader, you are too humble. the Lingyun Sect’s reputation has been widespread in the entire Canglan Region. It can be said that everyone knows about you.”

Jiang Yiming narrowed his eyes and looked at the fellow in front of him. Regardless of his words, someone like this who was full of words of praise but did not explain why he was here definitely had ill intentions.

Jiang Yiming would’ve been more used to it if the other party were to have directly attacked him.

“Since the sect leader is a frank person, I’ll state my purpose of coming here directly. In the Fenghuo Auction yesterday, there was an item that you bought. However, this item is of great significance to our family.”

“I understand. Although I don’t know which family’s elder you are, auctions operate such that the highest bidder gets the item. The Lingyun Sect didn’t snatch it through illegal means yesterday either, so why are you coming to me and regretting it now?” Jiang Yiming didn’t even bother to look at the other party as he spoke lightly.

He had bought almost all the items in the auction yesterday, and the fellow in front of him just wasn’t saying clearly what he wanted. If the other party wanted the other things, he could be generous. However, if the old man was here to ask for the cultivation technique, it was impossible for him to give it up.

“That’s true. Everyone knows that the Lingyun Sect is rich, and even we can’t catch up with the bid. That’s why we stopped fighting over the item with you yesterday. What we want is the cultivation technique that you bid for at the end. You spent a lot of money yesterday and had given off the dominant aura that you definitely don’t want to lose the bid, so we let you have your way. It’s just that the cultivation technique is something long lost from our family, and only our family members can understand it. Even if you have this thing in your hands, you won’t be able to use it!” Seeing that Jiang Yiming wasn’t paying attention to him, the old man smiled embarrassedly and said anyway. “Oh? You mean you want to take this cultivation technique from me?”

“Let’s not beat around the bush. That is exactly what I mean. The secrets of this cultivation technique are something that ordinary people can’t comprehend.” “Hmm? Ordinary people can’t comprehend it? I would like to know then, what exactly is in it that ordinary people can’t comprehend? If you don’t mind, why don’t you tell me?” Jiang Yiming smiled. He wouldn’t hand over this cultivation technique no matter what. “Hm? You’re saying that this cultivation technique means a lot to you, yet you won’t tell me what use it is while hoping that I’ll bear the losses and give it up. It’s really hard for me to accept such a request, isn’t it?”

“Hahaha, you must be joking. I’ve already said that it’s a secret. How can I just reveal it to outsiders?” After a pause, the person continued, “But we will not snatch the cultivation technique from you through violent methods. After all, we are not barbaric people. Please name a price, we will do our best to satisfy your request.” “You should have said that yesterday. You couldn’t even offer a satisfactory bid yesterday, so why are you here now?”

“Please don’t misunderstand, sect leader. The price we are talking about is not limited to spirit stones, but also cultivation techniques, martial skills, and so on.”

Jiang Yiming understood. It meant that he could exchange things for it.

It seemed that the other party really wanted this cultivation technique, but his system side mission was bound to the same cultivation technique.

Or, could it be possible to achieve a win-win situation?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yiming stopped what he was doing, turned around, and said to the old man, “To be honest, I can feel the profoundness of this cultivation technique as well, so I’ll be frank with you. You said that only people from your family can use this cultivation technique, and I don’t believe it. How about you tell me clearly what the use of this cultivation technique is so that we can solve the profoundness of it together and improve together. What do you think?”

With the cultivation technique being the system’s mission, Jiang Yiming would never give up on it. However, if he could easily solve it and complete the system’s mission, wouldn’t it be great?

“Hm…” The old man looked helpless. He didn’t expect the sect leader of the Lingyun Sect to be so calm.

He had thought that the other party was just a small sect that had just happened to get a windfall, but looking at this sect leader’s appearance, he didn’t seem even a bit like a nouveau richer in his speech or his movements, but instead a powerful cultivator who definitely had real talent and knowledge. He couldn’t even see through Jiang Yiming’s cultivation, but judging from the previous situations, he was at least at the middle stage of the Incarnation Realm.

Seeing that the other party was deep in thought, Jiang Yiming knew that there was room for negotiations.

This cultivation technique was probably not an exclusive cultivation technique as they claimed. It was probably just a cultivation technique that anyone could use.

It was just that the profoundness within it was not yet understood.

Jiang Yiming simply wanted to make a deal with him

Both parties could get benefits, so why not?

“How is it? My conditions should be pretty good, right?”

The other party was already wavering, so the next step was to break through the other party’s psychological defense!
