Chapter 8: You Smell So Good

Master Cat was still squinting, when suddenly his nose twitched as if he smelled something.

He stood up, stretched, yawned, and then slowly walked towards the crowd.

His movement was more agile than a tiger’s, yet more imposing. Especially his two large eyes, which scanned the onlookers with a powerful gaze.

The onlookers were startled and stepped back, as if Master Cat was about to eat them!

S*i Feizhe also took a few steps back. Such a large cat could swallow a person’s head in one bite. He wondered if this cat ate people?

Master Cat jumped lightly to S*i Feizhe’s side, circled him, and sniffed him with his nose.

……What’s going on!

The cat’s whiskers brushed against S*i Feizhe’s face, making him feel awkward. Could it be that this big cat had taken a fancy to his hundred-odd pounds of flesh?

“Little man, you smell so good!” a slightly aged voice suddenly appeared in S*i Feizhe’s head.

Little man? Who’s the little man?

“You… who are you?” S*i Feizhe couldn’t help but ask. He saw the big cat stop in front of him, and then he heard a voice!

“This Master is Master Cat!”

“You can talk!” S*i Feizhe said in surprise.

“This Master is a great demon after all. What’s so strange about mind transmission!” Master Cat came close to S*i Feizhe, sniffed his face, and transmitted his voice.

The others saw S*i Feizhe talking to Master Cat and were amazed.

“There are demons in this world?” S*i Feizhe asked again.

What the h*ll, isn’t this a world of martial arts?

“You little man have seen little of the world! The world is vast!” Master Cat mocked S*i Feizhe and then said, “Little man, you smell so good! Sell me your two legs! Let me have a feast!”

“… Can I say no?” Facing the big cat that stood as tall as him, S*i Feizhe’s forehead was sweating as he gritted his teeth and said.

“Then little man, sell me an arm, let me satisfy my craving! I’ll give you fifty taels!” Master Cat said again.

“… Not selling!”

“Do you have any enemies, or anyone you want to k*ll? After I k*ll them for you, your life will belong to me?” Master Cat pondered for a moment and said.

This cat has quite a wide range of businesses!

“No! I am kind to others, I have no enemies!” S*i Feizhe shook his head repeatedly and said.

“Then do you have any sons or daughters? Sell them to me. I will teach you a secret martial arts manual, how about that?” Master Cat offered another bargaining chip!

“No!” S*i Feizhe refused again.

Let alone not having any, even if he did, he wouldn’t trade them!

Trading a son for a secret manual, that’s too beastly!

“You little man, you’re so boring!” Master Cat shook his huge head, expressing his dissatisfaction with S*i Feizhe’s repeated refusals.

He jumped back to where he was lying before and left a sentence: “You can come and trade anytime you want!”

What do you mean boring? If I was interesting, I would be missing an arm or a leg!

And how did you smell “good” from my body odor!

S*i Feizhe complained in his heart!

But this big cat didn’t force a sale. Would he sneak up on me at night and carry me away?

S*i Feizhe secretly glanced at the big cat and found that it was squinting in the sun, not looking at him at all.

Good! Good! Seeing that the big cat wasn’t paying attention to him, S*i Feizhe let out a sigh of relief! He quickly went to look at the martial arts manuals on the stone tablets.

No wonder he was timid, who would have thought that a cat would want to buy an arm with silver!

The Jianghu is truly beyond imagination.

What was even more unimaginable was that the martial arts manuals on the stone tablets were all-encompassing.

✿✿✿

From the entry-level Blood and Qi Barrier’s 《Twelve Forms of Xingyi Boxing》 to the Essence and Spirit Barrier’s 《Acala Visualization Method》.

From the Transcendence Realm “Qi Sea” level’s 《Boundless Ocean Technique》 to the Transcendence Realm “Celestial Cycle” level’s 《Great Celestial River Circulation Secret Art》.

There was even a True Realm level technique 《Lankagratara Stargazing》!

After a rough count, S*i Feizhe found that there were dozens of secret manuals! They were all engraved on stone tablets for people in the Jianghu to view!

The people of the Three Talents Manor shared dozens of books they couldn’t understand, gaining fame and fortune on one hand, and turning the Three Talents Manor into Three Talents Town on the other.

Gaining both fame and fortune, it’s killing two birds with one stone!

What a great ambition, and what a great plan!

Each martial arts manual had a separate stone tablet, which stated where the manual came from, what realm it could be cultivated at, or what realm it could be cultivated to.

It was through these inscriptions on the stone tablets that S*i Feizhe learned that the Transcendence Realm only had two levels.

One was Qi Sea, and the other was Celestial Cycle.

He scratched his head and decided to skim through them first. Then he would focus on finding one he could understand, copy it down, and study it carefully.

Now he wasn’t worried about secret manuals, the only problem was whether he could understand them!

This was indeed a big problem. The characters on the inscriptions were often confusing.

There were also dialects like “strength starts from the hook” and “when the two connect, it’s like gnawing on a skull” that needed to be guessed.

As for the Essence and Spirit Barrier secret manuals like “the day the spirit awakens is the day I am reborn” and “someone is watching you in the dark lake”, they were just mystical and confusing.

S*i Feizhe walked around and found that most people were gathered around the secret manuals related to the Essence and Spirit Barrier and the See the Truth Barrier. They were all pursuing breakthroughs in the three barriers of the Transcendence Realm to become True Qi masters!

As for the stone tablet manuals beyond the Transcendence Realm, very few people looked at them.

It made sense. Those who were already True Qi masters naturally had their own ways, either joining a faction or entering a sect. They naturally didn’t need these stone tablet manuals of unknown origin.

S*i Feizhe, on the other hand, needed a Blood and Qi Barrier manual to start cultivating martial arts from scratch.

Although 《True Origin Sword Finger Formula》 allowed him to cultivate True Qi and reach a realm that many people could not achieve in their lifetime, the amount of True Qi produced daily was too small. He estimated that it would take about ten years for his cultivation to barely reach the entry level. It would take about thirty years to reach the small success level.

It would take about fifty to sixty years for his True Qi to flow continuously, his Sword Qi to soar, and reach the great success level!

The great success level was the True Realm!

It was too slow!

If, as Hua Xiaomei said, he cultivated normally, he could cultivate True Qi in about seven years. By then, the two types of True Qi combined might allow 《True Origin Sword Finger Formula》 to reach great success sooner.

Otherwise, what’s the point of showing off when you’re seventy or eighty years old?

Thinking about this, S*i Feizhe began to look at the Blood and Qi Barrier martial arts manuals on the stele forest. The Blood and Qi Barrier manuals were all very simple, all about strengthening muscles and bones, building muscles, and improving physical fitness. Even if he didn’t understand some of the words, he could guess their meaning.

S*i Feizhe was reading with great interest when he suddenly smelled a scent of smoke.

This familiar smell of second-hand smoke made S*i Feizhe stunned.

He followed the smell and saw a monk in a yellow robe, about twenty or thirty years old, holding a gold-inlaid jade pipe. He was puffing away as he walked, allowing S*i Feizhe to easily see the several gold and gemstone rings on his fingers.

Master Cat: You smell so good, I want to take a bite!
