A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

"There is a way!"

Chen Yue had a sudden inspiration, clapped his hands, and thought of a way to solve the problem.

He could easily go to an auction house and barter for goods.

With two Heavenly Rank cultivation manuals on him, even if he randomly picked one out and it was a completely incomplete fragment, it would be enough to cause a sensation throughout Jiangcheng.

In this tiny place where even Xuan-level cultivation techniques are extremely rare.

I've only ever heard of Earth-rank cultivation techniques, never actually seen them. As for Heaven-rank techniques, aren't those legendary creations?

Chen Yue copied a fragment of the Cold Rain Ice Illusion Technique and even changed several important parts of it.

It was already an extremely incomplete and flawed work; once I got my hands on it, I had no idea how to cultivate it.

In this situation, Chen Yue still changed a few key information points.

If you put it at an auction house, whoever buys it will have to accept their bad luck.

Putting aside whether he can successfully cultivate it, even if he is stubborn and manages to succeed, the probability of him falling back into demonic possession is still very high.

Chen Yue held his masterpiece, very satisfied.

"Indeed, a fragment of a Heaven-rank cultivation technique; the name alone is enough to fetch a good price."

The next morning, before the Jiangcheng auction started, Chen Yue arrived early.

"Hello sir, the auction hasn't started yet. Do you have a reservation?"

The receptionist at Jiangcheng Auction House asked politely with a smile.

Without hesitation, Chen Yue immediately stated his purpose.

"Could you please ask your branch manager to come out for a moment? I have something to auction off."

The receptionist was quite surprised. The young man in front of her was dressed simply and did not look like the child of a wealthy family. He looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Auction? What could they possibly auction off? Are they just taking away household clutter for recycling?

Although he thought this in his heart, he still wore a smile on his face and did not show the slightest displeasure.

"Sir, what item would you like to auction?"

Chen Yue said, "A fragment of a Heaven-rank cultivation technique."

"Okay... um? Huh?!"

The receptionist belatedly realized that there was something wrong with her ears.

"Sir? Are you sure it's a fragment of a Heaven-rank cultivation technique?"

Chen Yue replied, "That's right, it's a fragment of a Heavenly Rank manual. May I meet with your Sect Leader Shan?"

These words undoubtedly caused a huge uproar in the receptionist's mind.

She hadn't misheard; it really was a Heavenly Rank cultivation technique!

Without giving her a chance to think any further, she hurriedly went to find Director Shan.

"Bank manager! Something's happened! Something terrible has happened!"

In his haste, he even forgot to knock twice before shoving the door open with a loud bang.

The bank manager was startled by the sudden noise.

Upon seeing who it was, he asked in confusion, "Xiao Zhang, what happened? How dare you barge in like this?"

"Didn't I tell you all to stay calm no matter what happens!"

The receptionist, Xiao Zhang, took a deep breath and said hurriedly, "A young man wants to auction something and specifically requests to see you."

The bank manager asked, "Young man? Could you be a young master from some family?"

"He's dressed casually, probably from an ordinary family, but his belongings are truly appalling," replied Xiao Zhang at the front desk.

Director Shan chuckled lightly. He had seen countless treasures in his life; what treasure hadn't he seen?

Could it be that the young man could pluck the sky off the ground and auction it off?

"What does that young man want to auction?"

The head of the single-line shop asked casually, took a sip of tea, and appeared very relaxed.

"Bank manager, he said he wants to auction a fragment of a Heaven-rank cultivation technique."

Pfft! Before he could even swallow the tea, it was sprayed out with a refreshing spray.

"What did you say?! A fragment of a Heavenly Rank manual?!"

"Are you sure that's what the boy said?"

The bank manager's voice was excited, and his calm demeanor from just moments before vanished without a trace.

Xiao Zhang at the front desk said, "Manager, I've confirmed it. The young man wants to bid on a fragment of a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique!"

This time, it was Director Shan's turn to lose his composure.

"This young man, has he really plucked the sky from the sky?"

It's true that he has seen countless treasures in his life, but compared to a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique, what's the difference between that and a lifetime of looking at trash?

However, he remained skeptical; the appearance of a Heavenly Rank cultivation technique in Jiangcheng was simply too unbelievable.

Even if it's just a fragment, it shouldn't be auctioned off in such a small place.

Moreover, he's just a teenager, so his credibility isn't very high.

"Xiao Zhang, take me to see that boy. We'll only know if he's real or not when we see him."

Upon entering the reception room, Director Shan was pondering how to ascertain Chen Yue's true intentions.

But to everyone's surprise, he didn't play by the rules at all, and directly slammed the incomplete copy of the Cold Rain Ice Illusion Technique onto the table.

"This...this is...a fragment of the Heavenly Rank? It's actually real!" Director Shan felt his head buzzing.

"If Director Shan has any doubts, he can check it."

Chen Yue pushed the incomplete manuscript forward, signaling to Director Shan to examine it.

As the president of Jiangcheng Auction House, he still has the most basic mental fortitude.

Unhurriedly, I picked up the tattered manuscript and slowly turned the pages.

"Manager Shan, is your hand injured? Why is it shaking?" Chen Yue asked, puzzled.

"Are my hands shaking? No, they aren't."

The branch manager stubbornly refused to admit it, staring at his trembling hands, completely helpless.

Damn my hands, I can't control them at all.

The more I looked at the technique in my hand, the more realistic it seemed, yet I always felt that some parts were unreal, as if they had been modified.

But it was nothing serious; Director Shan could clearly perceive the shock that this incomplete Heavenly Rank manual brought him.

Its mystery is so profound that it remains unfathomable.

He had a vague feeling that, given his talent, if he were to force himself to cultivate this Heavenly Rank technique, he might suffer a qi deviation.

"May I ask your surname?"

The bank manager no longer dared to underestimate the young man in front of him, and his tone of voice became extremely respectful.

"List."

"Chen? Is there such a person as Chen in the Chen family of Jiangcheng?"

Director Shan went through the younger generation of the Chen family in his mind.

Chen Ming was the most impressive member of the Chen family to him, and he also had a general impression of the other younger generation.

He had no recollection of the young man surnamed Chen standing before him.

He casually picked up a fragment of a Heavenly Rank manual; such a person shouldn't be unknown.

Why do I have no recollection of this? That's strange, so strange.

With a serious expression, Director Shan asked solemnly, "Young Master Chen, are you sure you want to put this incomplete Heavenly Rank manual up for auction at Jiangcheng Auction House?"

"Of course I'm sure. I'll have to trouble Director Shan to sell more source stones for me." Chen Yue cupped his hands slightly.

Seeing that Chen Yue had confirmed the auction, Director Shan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's unbelievable that a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique would be auctioned off at an auction house under his name.

I can't imagine the huge sensation this news would cause.

"Mr. Chen, you flatter me. This Heaven-Rank cultivation technique will be the highlight of today's auction, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

"Let's make it clear beforehand that the auction house will take 10% of the final price. Is that acceptable, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Yue nodded slightly, indicating that he had no objection.

"Mr. Chen, may I ask the name of this martial arts manual?"

"Cold Rain Ice Illusion Technique".
