A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 62 Saved 500 Billion

Seeing that Wu Cheng agreed to the bet, Guo Sidi narrowed his eyes and a sly smile appeared on his face.

He looked at Wu Cheng and said, "Young man, have you studied the Star River Body Refining Technique?"

This question startled Wu Cheng: "How did you know?"

"Of course I figured it out," Guo Sidi said with a smile. "It's precisely because you have the Star River Body Refining Technique and you've even mastered it that I said I wanted to be your master."

"Look at Xiao Liu, he's been following me around since he was little. I have a deep affection for him. It's just a pity that he doesn't have the aptitude or the understanding, so I only taught him a few self-defense techniques."

“But you are different. Since you have already cultivated the Star River Body Refining Technique, you are already a member of our Star River Sect. Of course, I will accept you as a disciple.”

"Star River Sect? So you also know the Star River Body Refining Technique?"

"Of course, I not only know the Star River Body Refining Technique, but also the Star River Qi Condensation Technique. These two techniques are actually the most basic techniques of the Star River Sect. It's just a pity that the orthodox inheritance of our Star River Sect has been lost."

"Right now, I am the only member of the Star River Sect in this world. Now, there is another one, and that is you."

Wu Cheng was still skeptical: "Even if you can tell I have the Star River Body Refining Technique, so what? Maybe you've seen the Star River Body Refining Technique before, or even heard of it."

"Or perhaps you just want to trick me into giving you my cultivation technique."

Guo Sidi was annoyed by Wu Cheng's suspicion: "I know you definitely don't want to become my disciple. I guess you recognized this jade of mine, right?"

"Do you know him yourself?" Wu Cheng asked.

"Cough, what's so special about a mere Spirit Jade?" Guo Sidi said casually. "As long as you join the Star River Sect, I can get you ten or eight pieces of this Spirit Jade."

"Really?"

Wu Cheng's thoughts were exposed by Guo Sidi. He was a little embarrassed at first, but when he heard that he could get ten or eight pieces of spirit jade, wouldn't that be several hundred billion?

"Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't change the fact that I can see that you have the Star River Body Refining Technique, so you've already lost this gamble."

“Now, become my disciple,” Guo Sidi said.

Wu Cheng asked Jin Wanliang in his mind, "Is what this old man said true or false?"

"How would I know? But this old man can produce the Spirit Jade and recognize the Star River Body Refining Technique, so he must be someone of great importance. He's far stronger than that Grand Martial Master who wanted to take you as his disciple before."

"Anyway, you won't lose out by becoming a disciple. To be honest, a martial artist like you who has no sect or school is just lacking in connections and money. If you want to cultivate, you need to be sweet-talking. Be a little sweet-talking, call me 'Master' a few more times, and recognize a few more seniors. It won't be a loss."

Jin Wanliang's principles of dealing with people are really good. Wu Cheng listened to the cat's advice, ate his fill, thought for a moment, and then bowed to Guo Sidi and said, "Alright, I'm willing to accept defeat and pay my respects to my master."

Guo Sidi waved his hand and said, "How can you become an apprentice like this? There should be a formal apprenticeship ceremony. What kind of master are you even begging for without one?"

Wu Cheng was taken aback, thinking that this was not the old man's original purpose. He quickly said, "Reporting to Master, I came in a hurry and did not bring any gifts. Please allow me to prepare some more."

"No need to prepare anything. I think the medicine-hunting rat on you is quite good. Take it as a gift for me when you become my disciple."

Upon hearing Guo Sidi's words, Wu Cheng felt a buzzing in his head, and a strong sense of crisis washed over him.

This old man actually knew that the medicine-finding rat was on him. The medicine-finding rat was in the cat house. Could it be that Guo Sidi could see the medicine-finding rat in the cat house?

If that's the case, then wouldn't he have seen the Lucky Cat system as well?

Wu Cheng almost clicked on the time freeze button and then aimed the black-clad man's camera at Guo Sidi.

Suddenly, I felt something moving in my pants. I looked down and saw Jerry peeking in.

Wu Cheng held Jerry in his hands and handed it to Guo Sidi: "Master, I've already taken this mouse as my pet. I guess it will be a little difficult to make it your pet again."

“I know,” Guo Sidi said, his eyes glued to the medicine-seeking rat. “I didn’t really intend to take you, this medicine-seeking rat. I just wanted to take it with me to find some precious medicine.”

"I heard from the second brother that you once found a piece of golden stamen?"

"You already know that? Little Liu, you big mouth, how come you keep relaying messages?"

Passing messages back and forth?

Wu Cheng suddenly remembered that he had asked his second brother for advice on catching mice, and his second brother had also told Guo Sidi. Since he had been in contact with the medicine-hunting rat, he might have the scent of the medicine-hunting rat on him.

He couldn't distinguish the smell himself, but Guo Sidi had lived in the deep mountains for many years and was very familiar with the smells of various wild animals, so he knew he had caught the medicine-seeking rat as soon as he smelled it.

It's not that he can see the things inside his cat house.

A false alarm.

Wu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Guo Sidi glanced at Wu Cheng: "Don't worry, our Xinghe Sect has a lot of good stuff. Compared to them, those new martial artists outside are like beggars."

"By the way, your Star River Body Refining Technique is a first-level one. I should have just casually given it to some ancestor of the Gu family. No one in the Gu family has been able to comprehend its true meaning, nor has anyone been able to successfully cultivate it. However, even if you cultivate that manual to its fullest extent, you can only withstand the attack of a martial arts master. Now that you have entered the field, I can't not give you a little gift."

He pulled a tattered book from his pocket and handed it to Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng took it and his eyes widened immediately: "This is a second-tier manual?"

"Indeed, it is a second-tier manual. After completing the second-tier Star River Body Refining Technique, even a Qi Refining cultivator would find it difficult to break through your defenses."

This is amazing! Absolutely amazing! According to Guo Sidi, even a new martial artist who reaches the peak of their skills probably won't reach the Qi Refining realm. Yet this second-tier manual can actually defend against attacks from those at the Qi Refining realm. Doesn't that mean that once the technique is mastered, no one can break through its defenses?

More importantly, the number of gold ingots required to upgrade the manual is simply outrageous. Wu Cheng was already heartbroken when he spent 5000 million gold ingots to upgrade the manual once, but to upgrade the first-tier manual to the second-tier manual would require an outrageous 500 billion gold ingots.

Now, the second-tier manual that Guo Sidi has given out is equivalent to saving Wu Cheng 500 billion at once.

Wu Cheng is quite materialistic to some extent now, so this cheap master who suddenly appeared out of nowhere won Wu Cheng's favor with just this one move.

Wu Cheng felt that coming to the medicine market with the second brother was definitely worthwhile; at least this secret manual alone was enough to make Wu Cheng feel that the ticket price was worthwhile.
