RBCT Chapter 086 Mysterious Heart Sutra
Chapter 086 Mysterious Heart Sutra
"Fifteen thousand!"
Before the host could finish speaking, at a table not far from Lin Qiye, a young martial artist who looked to be about the same age as him and was also dressed in ordinary combat uniforms raised his hand without hesitation and shouted out a bid.
This was as if a fuse had been lit.
"Twenty thousand!"
"Twenty-five thousand!"
Inside the venue, a cacophony of bids immediately erupted, instantly transforming the previously quiet atmosphere into a lively one.
The martial artists at the next table also lowered their voices and began to discuss it eagerly.
"I didn't expect the Zhou family to actually bring this out! An expert-level cultivation manual for the 'Canghai Hengliu Sword Technique' would cost at least 100,000 yuan on the market..."
"Although this video is digital, it was recorded by the pioneers themselves for their juniors, so the 'martial intent' contained within it is immeasurably greater!"
"There's a high chance that Zhou Tianheng didn't hold back anything; he never imagined his juniors would decline to this extent..."
"Yes, these days, those VR tutorials recorded by instructors always have something hidden..."
Every word of these discussions reached Lin Qiye's ears.
Why does it feel like the expenses these martial artists incur for training are not on the same level as my own?
Looking back, Lin Qiye realized that he had only visited Lin Yuechan twice, spending 20,000 credits in the process.
The various cultivation tutorials and videos mentioned by these martial artists often cost tens of thousands of yuan.
Could it be because of my status that Lin Yuechan gave me such a big discount?
Lin Qiye didn't know if his guess was right or wrong.
Anyway, I'm not very interested in this "Canghai Hengliu Sword Technique" training video.
"Ninety thousand!" a voice rang out.
"One hundred thousand!" another voice followed closely behind.
Ultimately, this memory chip, imbued with a profound sense of history, was sold for 11 credits.
Lin Qiye looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who made the bid was sitting in the Zhou family's seat.
It seems that the Zhou family probably didn't want the video to leak in the first place.
This money was more like a "transfer from one hand to the other," incidentally completing the process of "charitable donation."
Just then, the host's voice became louder again, drawing everyone's attention.
"Distinguished guests, what follows is the grand finale of the evening. It is very special because it is not an item for auction."
The lights in the entire venue dimmed slightly, leaving only a spotlight shining on the center of the stage.
On the huge holographic screen behind the host, all the images faded away, leaving only four ancient and profound seal script characters—
The Mysterious Heart Sutra.
With a confident and charming smile, the host announced loudly, "Tonight's grand finale is not an auction, but a limited-time sale open to all VIPs present! Every VIP here can place an order through the terminal within the next 72 hours!"
She paused, as if to give everyone enough time to process what she was saying:
"Let me introduce to you this B-grade dual cultivation technique, officially certified and provided by the Empire—the Mysterious Essence Heart Sutra!"
"This cultivation method is primarily practiced by men. Its nature is profound, and its energy is pure. The cultivation process is gentle and nourishing, achieving a perfect balance of Yin and Yang. According to data feedback from the Imperial Fertility Management Center, which has processed over ten billion cases, couples practicing this method together not only significantly increase the chances of having high-potential offspring, but more importantly, it nourishes both partners, enhancing their respective spiritual cultivation!"
"And finally, the price is 100 million credits! No other conditions required! Furthermore, the Empire offers interest-free installment payment plans for 3 to 10 years!"
Lin Qiye's eyes lit up instantly when he heard the words "dual cultivation technique"!
His heart started pounding uncontrollably, and he even had trouble breathing.
Dual cultivation technique!
It can also enhance the potential of future generations!
It can also enhance the psionic abilities of both parties!
Every single feature struck a chord with him!
However... one million credits...
He recalled that when he redeemed the B-level "Hun Yuan Yi Qi Gong", he only paid a deposit of 100,000 credit points.
The Xuan Su Heart Sutra, which is also a B-level manual, is priced at ten times that price!
However, when he looked around, he found that most of the guests in the banquet hall had calm expressions, and even seemed to take it all for granted.
There was no shock, no uproar.
Lin Qiye understood instantly.
It seems that this so-called "grand finale" was no secret to most of the people present.
Although Lin Qiye was very tempted, one million credits was still a huge sum of money for him.
He glanced at his balance of less than 100,000 yuan, and the impulse in his heart was instantly extinguished by reason.
Fortunately, there are still 72 hours to consider, so there's no need to rush.
Let's go back and discuss this further.
As the party drew to a close, guests began to mingle freely, and the entire banquet hall became more relaxed.
Just as he was about to get up and blend into the crowd to leave, a staff member in a gray business suit walked quickly up to him with a professional yet slightly surprised smile on her face.
"Mr. Lin, please wait a moment."
Lin Qiye stopped and looked at her with some confusion: "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
The staff member's gaze held a hint of inquiry, but their tone remained respectful: "It's like this, we received your application in our system. Regarding those twelve projects seeking martial artist genetic data to continue your family bloodline, you... you submitted applications for all of them, right?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" Lin Qiye nodded frankly.
The staff member quickly explained, "There's no problem, it's just... the situation is a bit special."
"Because all twelve families you applied to, without exception, agreed to your request to cooperate after seeing your information."
"Twelve families... all agreed?" Lin Qiye was also taken aback.
"Yes, all of them," the staff member confirmed. "All twelve projects have been agreed upon, which means we need to arrange twelve sessions for you. This is unprecedented in previous events. Therefore, I need to confirm with you again whether you understand the content of the projects you have signed up for and whether you are sure you want to complete all twelve projects. In addition, we also need to arrange the order of events."
Lin Qiye immediately understood.
For him, this was not some troublesome matter that needed to be confirmed; it was clearly a great thing!
Twelve projects!
This means that he will soon have twelve chances to gain authority points!
This is much more efficient than going to the birth control center piecemeal!
His face lit up with undisguised joy, and he answered decisively, "I'm sure, I'll take all twelve projects. As for the order, I have no objection."
Seeing his decisiveness, a hint of admiration flashed in the staff's eyes.
She quickly noted it down on her terminal and said with a smile, "Okay, Mr. Lin. We have recorded your decision. Our specialist will contact you through your personal terminal regarding the specific schedule. Thank you very much for your cooperation."
Just then, a steady yet somewhat ardent male voice sounded behind Lin Qiye.
"Hello, are you Mr. Lin Qiye?"
Lin Qiye turned around and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a well-fitting suit with a refined appearance smiling at him.
This is the descendant of Zhou Tianheng, the head of the Zhou family who was introduced earlier.
Beside the head of the Zhou family stood two still charming young women, dressed in exquisite evening gowns. They bore a striking resemblance in their features and appeared to be around thirty-five years old.
The head of the Zhou family extended his hand and said warmly, "I am Zhou Wenyan. It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Lin. These two are my beloved daughters, Zhou Linya and Zhou Linjing."
Lin Qiye nodded politely and shook hands with him.
Zhou Wenyan scrutinized Lin Qiye, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration.
He cut to the chase: "Mr. Lin, we've reviewed your information. We're wondering... if Mr. Lin would be interested in becoming a son-in-law of the Zhou family and joining our family?"
