Reincarnation of a Super Genius Cultivator

Episode 5

Xu Wu was the manager of the treasure pavilion in the northern branch of the Chen empire. Currently, he was sitting in his room looking at the materials that would be auctioned off today. His face was serious, and he frowned slightly.

"Master Xu, someone has come to sell an item!" A servant's voice came from the door.

"Bring him in!" Xu Wu said without looking up. He was seriously checking the authenticity of the items on the table.

Click!

The sound of the door opened and a man in a black robe walked into the room. The man looked very mysterious because his appearance was covered by a black hood that hid part of his face.

"What item do you want to trade?" Xu Wu asked nonchalantly.

According to Xu Wu, the wealth of the people in the northern region of King Chen's power was very low. What valuables could they sell?

"Mid-Black Rank Combat Technique." A hoarse old voice came from behind the black robe.

"Oh!" Xu Wu looked up and stared carefully at the black-robed figure in front of him.

Mid-Black Rank Combat Technique?

In this northern region of the Chen empire, the highest Combat Technique was High-Black Rank, and there was only one that belonged to the residence of King Chen's palace. Such combat techniques were national treasures that were closely guarded and could only be learned by nobles, but here... This black-robed man wanted to sell it, which of course surprised Xu Wu.

Xu Wu looked at the man in the black robe suspiciously then said with a serious face. "Sir, the Black Rank Combat Technique is a very valuable treasure. Are you sure you're not cheating here?"

The black-robed man didn't answer but pulled out a scroll from under his robe then placed it on the table. "The Combat Technique is on the table, you can check if it's real or fake!"

Xu Wu looked back and forth between the scroll on the table and the man in the black robe, then picked up the scroll and opened it carefully.

"Sir, I have been the manager of the treasure pavilion for a long time. Even though I'm old, my eyesight is still very clear, I can still tell the difference between real and fake. If this scroll proves to be fake, you know the risk!... Uh... this..." Xu Wu's tone sounded very threatening, but at the end of the sentence, it was a sound of surprise.

"This is really a Mid-Black Rank Combat Technique?" Xu Wu looked at the man in the black robe in surprise.

"How is it, Master Xu, is my Combat Technique real?" The man in the black robe said vaguely.

Xu Wu immediately got up, his serious face immediately changed into a friendly smile. "Real, real Combat Technique..."

Xu Wu was a veteran, he was old and had a lot of experience. The person who was able to sell the Black Rank Combat Technique was definitely not an ordinary person. So Xu Wu would not dare to act disrespectfully.

"Servant, make tea for our distinguished guest!" Xu Wu said towards the door then invited the man in the black robe to sit down. "Sir, please sit down first, we will discuss the price carefully!"

The man in the robe nodded and sat down casually. He crossed his legs on top of each other and acted like a king, but instead of being angry, Xu Wu became even more convinced that this black-robed man was no ordinary person.

"This master, if I may ask. What is your honorable name?" Xu Wu asked.

"No need to know my name, I'm just passing by and will be leaving soon." The black-robed man said nonchalantly.

"Oh, alright." Xu Wu was a smart man, so he didn't ask any more questions. If the other party didn't want to reveal their identity, then it was better not to dig further.

After a few minutes, a beautiful, sexy servant entered the room with a teapot in her hand. She carefully placed the teapot on the table and poured the tea into the black-robed man's glass respectfully.

The man in the black robe was not polite, he took the teacup and took a sip then put it down. This attitude looked very calm and cool.

"So, sir, how much do you intend to sell this Mid-Black Rank Combat Technique for?" Seeing the black-robed man's relaxed attitude, Xu Wu cautiously asked.

"What do you think?" The man in the black robe looked at Xu Wu.

"Our Treasure Pavilion can pay for this class of Combat Technique for 200,000 silver coins, but this is just the price offered by our trading house. If you are not satisfied, you can wait after the auction. And after a 10% auction fee deduction, everything will be yours." Xu Wu smiled at the man in the robe.

Chen Xuan thought for a moment, actually with 200,000 silver coins, it was enough to cover his cultivation costs to the Seventh Stage Body Realm, but he might still need a lot of money after reaching the Condensation Realm.

"Okay, I'll choose the second one!" Chen Xuan nodded.

Xu Wu smiled then said, "Master, the auction will be held shortly. Would you like to see the auction?"

"No need, I'll come back later." Chen Xuan waved his hand, he didn't have time to follow the auction. "Oh yeah, I need 150 Qi Crystals, the price will be cut after the sale of the goods."

"Huh." Xu Wu frowned in surprise, because the man in the black robe actually wanted Qi Crystals which could only be used by Body Realm practitioners. In his mind, the man in the black robe must have a high level of cultivation. Then what were these Qi Crystals for?

But Xu Wu immediately agreed. "Of course."

Xu Wu said to the servant, "Go, get 150 Qi Crystals for this master."

"Yes, Master." The beautiful servant left the room, after a few minutes she returned with a square box in her hand, then carefully placed the box on the table.

Chen Xuan took the box on the table. "Well then, I'll go first. I'll be back tomorrow!"

"Of course, I will escort you to the door!" Xu Wu got up from his chair and respectfully led Chen Xuan out of the treasure pavilion.

This incident was witnessed by all the servants and customers on the first floor of the treasure pavilion, in their hearts they wondered who this black-robed man was. Even Manager Xu had to escort him to the door.

Who was Xu Wu? He was the manager of the treasure pavilion. His status in the Xu family was not low and he was also a Great Spirit Master practitioner. This identity was equivalent to the Palace Kings, so how could Xu Wu seem so respectful towards the man in the black robe?
