WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 120: The Art of the Tri Sun

Lin Dong rushed to the Thousand Gold Auction House as if he was on fire and when he finally arrived, there was already a servant girl waiting for him. As soon as he saw her, he respectfully led her into the living room.

Currently, there were two figures in the living room. One was Xuan Su, while the other was a rather thin and unknown middle-aged man who had deep eyes.

"This is the person who wants to auction the Secret Art, mister Yanzhong." Upon seeing Lin Dong rushing over, Xuan Su stood up and slightly smiled as he introduced another man.

"Are you the one who wants to buy my Secret Art?" Yanzhong's brows furrowed as she glanced at Lin Dong. The first one clearly thought that the other party was too young.

Lin Dong smiled as he nodded his head: "May I ask what Master Yanzhong's Secret Art looks like?"

"Don't worry, this Secret Art of mine isn't an ordinary one." Upon hearing these words, Yanzhong proudly declared. Immediately after, he took out a thin golden tome.

“Three Sun Arts.”

When the thick book was taken away, Lin Dong caught a glimpse of three simple words on it from the corner of his eye.

“Tri Sun Art is a second level Secret Art. This Secret Art was not only able to open fifteen channels, but it could also cultivate three Yuan Qi balls like the sun in the dantian. At a crucial moment, one could use it by turning it on. Even against an opponent whose one level of cultivation was stronger, his opponent would remain unprepared and suffer substantially.”

After listening to Yanzhong's proud voice, a passionate flame quietly grew in Lin Dong's heart. Just from hearing it, this Tri Sun Art seemed to be several times stronger than the Qingyuan Art. Most importantly, this 'Tri Sun Art' seemed to have a corresponding secret technique. Similar to Jiang Li's Transformation Art, only the latter was able to vaporize his blood to increase his strength in a short period of time, whereas the 'Tri Sun Art' allowed one to form three bomb-like objects in his dantian. It would definitely be able to catch the enemy off guard.

“Opening fifteen channels is considered normal for a second level Secret Art. As for the secret attack method that you mentioned, I think it will severely injure the user after activation, right? ” While the fire raged in Lin Dong's heart, on one hand, Xuan Su chuckled as he asked.

Xuan Su's forward gaze was naturally incomparable to that of a greenhorn like Lin Dong. Thus he could find the fatal mistake Yanzhong had failed to mention in an instant.

After hearing his words, Lin Dong became a little clearer. When Jiang Li activated her Blood Transformation Art, she ended up suffering from serious consequences. 'This 'Tri Sun Art' can't possibly be perfect right?

“Heh heh, perceptive indeed.” Yanzhong clearly underestimated Xuan Su's insight as she laughed awkwardly. He had no choice but to continue explaining: "There was no big reaction, it was just that forming a 'three sun sphere' required a high degree of control, or else, it was, someone would easily injure himself from the resulting explosion."

It's actually not easy at all. Ever since he obtained the 'Tri Sun Art', Yanzhong had never managed to form one before. In the process, he had injured himself so many times that he did not dare to practice these 'three sun balls' anymore.

Lin Dong was amazed as he silently praised Xuan Su in his heart and gave him a grateful look. However, his interest in this 'Tri Sun Art' increased. Due to the fact that he was cultivating Mental Energy, even though Lin Dong did not consider himself to be very skilled at controlling energy, he was, he was still confident of being at a higher level than those who were at the same cultivation level as him. Just because Yanzhong did not succeed, did not mean Lin Dong would not succeed.

"Although there were some flaws, it was still quite large among second-rate Secret Arts." Xuan Su slightly smiled as he continued: "May I ask how much Mr. Yanzhong wants to sell for this Secret Art?"

"Manager Su's eyes are too sharp, I won't waste any more words, 50,000 Yang Yuan Stones." Yanzhong muttered to herself for a while before she stretched out her five fingers and declared in a low voice.

"50,000 Yang Yuan Stones."

After hearing this figure, the corner of Lin Dong's eyes involuntarily twitched violently. He initially thought that although he could not be considered very rich, he at least had a lot of funds. He did not expect that he was currently unable to purchase even a single second-rate Secret Art …

“50 000 Yang Yuan Stone is rather expensive, but still reasonable.” Xuan Su replied softly. Through his sharp eyes, he predicted that if this 'Tri Sun Art' were to be auctioned off, it might end up with a higher price.

Lin Dong laughed bitterly in his heart. Currently, he had at most 2000 Yan Yuan pills. This was only the equivalent of 20,000 Yang Yuan Stones. He had indeed underestimated the cost of such a Secret Art.

"Mr Yanzhong, there are 5000 Yang Yuan Pills here, check the number is correct."

While Lin Dong still felt a little awkward, on one hand, Xuan Su smiled sweetly as if he had seen through his mind and picked up the Qiankun bag from his sleeve before handing it over to Yanzhong. From the looks of it, he seemed to have prepared it earlier …

Yanzhong was rather pleased when she received the Qiankun bag, she checked the contents for a long time before handing the thick book in her hands to Xuan Su. Not wanting to linger any longer, he immediately said goodbye to them and left.

“Here, Lin Dong's sister, although this 'Tri Sun Art' is rather difficult to practice, this 'three sunballs' are quite formidable. Yanzhong did not have the ability so he could not appreciate it, or the 50,000 Yang Yuan Stones would not be enough to purchase this 'Tri Sun Art. ” After seeing that Yanzhong had left, Xuan Su turned around with a smile and offered the 'Tri Sun Art' in his hand to Lin Dong.

Upon seeing Lin Dong's earnest appearance, Xuan Su could only nod his head helplessly as he replied in a slightly irritated voice: "You little brat, your stubbornness is really a headache ..."

As he stared at the beautiful face that was heart-pulling and pouting, Lin Dong laughed blankly while keeping the 'Tri Sun Art' in his Qiankun bag. After chatting sincerely and accompanying Xuan Su for quite a long time, he gave her one final smile before standing up to leave.

…

When he returned to the inn, Lin Dong did not immediately start studying the 'Tri Sun Art', instead, he took out a number of fifth-grade elixirs that he had bought the day before. These herbs were unlike the past that had Mental Energy recovery properties, instead they were extremely beneficial for Yuan Power cultivation.

All of these potions were finally refined by Lin Dong into an elixir pill using the Stone Amulet. In total, he ended up with over sixty pills, if he auctioned these pills, he would be able to pay his debt. After all, Lin Dong was not used to being in debt to others.

After spending most of the day refining this potion, Lin Dong finally heaved a sigh of relief as he retrieved the 'Tri Sun Art' he obtained today from Qiankun's bag and concentrated on learning it.

This lasted for about an hour before Lin Dong drew his attention from the thick book as he involuntarily nodded his head. As expected of a second level Secret Art, compared to 'Qingyang Art', it was better in every way.

After gaining a reasonable understanding of this 'Tri Sun Art', Lin Dong gently closed his eyes as his mind slowly sank into the Stone Amulet in his palm.

Lin Dong once again appeared in the familiar Spiritual Domain, yet, this time, he did not head directly to the Mind Millstones area. Instead, he waited in the place where the luminous shadow was born. As anticipated, a newly born luminous shadow appeared in a sitting position.

Lin Dong quietly sat in front of that luminous shadow and focused his full attention on the light flowing within the body of that luminous shadow. The path that the light took was the one needed to open the channel 'Tri Sun Art'.

Under Lin Dong's unshakable gaze, a path of fifteen consecutive channels appeared.

When the light completed the route of the fifteenth channel, Lin Dong did not relax his attention but instead, his eyes opened wider. He was hoping to find out: How many channels can this 'Tri Sun Art' open after being strengthened by the Stone Amulet?

The mysterious Stone Talisman did not disappoint Lin Dong. After a slight pause, the light once again began to flow. The path of the extremely remote channel was slowly traversed by the light, as if trying to open a mountain path.

And, this is not the end!

Following quickly, another path that did not belong to the original fifteen channel lines once again appeared!

Way by way…

Under Lin Dong's excited gaze, within a span of ten minutes, the light once again carefully opened seven channels!

These seven channels were combined with the original fifteen channels of the 'Tri Sun Art' in total into twenty-two channels!

This amount had actually surpassed the Qingyuan Art by more than three times!

If fifteen channels were considered normal among second-rate Secret Arts, these twenty-two channels would be considered very good.

After witnessing the strengthening effect of the Stone Amulet, Lin Dong involuntarily laughed out loud. These 50,000 Yang Yuan Stones were indeed well spent.

A while later, Lin Dong's excitement slowly faded as he suppressed the excitement in his heart. Once again, he focused his attention on the flowing light and carved twenty-two channel paths into his brain.

After memorizing the path of this channel, Lin Dong was finally satisfied as he retreated from the Spiritual Domain. He sat cross-legged as the Yin Yang Pearl was once again pressed between his palms while streams of Yuan Power gushed out from his dantian. Under his control, they quickly flowed towards an obscure channel.

Armed with his previous experience, Lin Dong continued easily this time. When all of these channels were opened, he would actually be able to feel the various benefits of the rank 2 secret martial arts.
