"Mr. Xiao, I also need that 'Jade Buddha Technique' manual and am willing to exchange it for an energy fruit just as well."

Zhu Zhenping became anxious after he heard Xiao Mu agree to Chen Yanli's proposal.

Xiao Mu blurted out, "Both of you, no matter who, as long as you can produce an energy fruit within two days, you can come to me to exchange for this 'Jade Buddha Technique' manual."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao!"

Zhu Zhenping was overjoyed.

However, Chen Yanli felt a little disappointed. She hadn't expected that Xiao Mu would promise her first, but then also promise Zhu Zhenping.

But, she also knew that she had no right to demand anything from Xiao Mu, let alone suggest he kept the manual for her and didn't sell it to Zhu Zhenping.

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly took out her cell phone and made a call, "Hello! Sister Ying, I seem to recall that you have an energy fruit, could you lend it to me? I'll return it to you in at most three days."

On the other end of the call was an office lady in her early thirties, who frowned upon hearing this: "Yanli, I have big plans for that energy fruit, why do you suddenly need to borrow it?"

"I saw a top-notch Buddhist secret manual 'Jade Buddha Technique', which is perfect for my cultivation, and I can exchange it for just an energy fruit. Sister Ying, I want to buy it."

Chen Yanli explained.

"What? A top-grade Buddhist secret manual 'Jade Buddha Technique'? And you can get it in exchange for just an energy fruit? Are you sure, isn't it a scam?"

Sister Ying on the other end of the phone was shocked. It seemed unbelievable that one could get a top-notch Buddhist secret manual for just an energy fruit, which was obviously very cost-effective.

Moreover, the secret manuals of both the Buddhism and Taoism were very rare to find, and even top-grade ones were hard to acquire.

"It's true, Sister Ying, I swear."

Chen Yanli continued, "There are others who want to buy it too, and if we're too late, it'll be gone."

Sister Ying was a bit jealous, "I should've been the one to prevent you from getting it, or else you'll surpass me in strength."

Chen Yanli chuckled, "Sister Ying, if my strength increases, we can fight much more powerful evil absurdities, right? I'll compensate you, and then I'll return two, no, three energy fruits to you."

Sister Ying replied: "Well, at least you have a conscience. Where are you? I'll bring it to you."

"I'm at Ghost Mountain, and I'll be coming down soon. Sister Ying, wait for me at the foot of the mountain."

Chen Yanli said excitedly.

After hanging up the phone and turning around, she wore a smile on her face, looked at Xiao Mu, and said, "Mr. Xiao, I have already got the energy fruit. As soon as I come down the mountain, I can give it to you."

Having said that, she looked at Zhu Zhenping triumphantly.

She was clearly very happy to get the 'Jade Buddha Technique' manual from the competition with him.

"Just your luck!"

Zhu Zhenping said resentfully.

Without the 'Jade Buddha Technique' manual, he became somewhat dejected.

Even though Xiao Mu and others had gained plenty of top-notch manuals, including Intangible Sword Qi, Taichi Thunder Gang Diagram, etc., one also had to consider what they had put into it.

The Intangible Sword Qi was obtained at the risk of fighting with the corpse generals. The Taichi Thunder Gang Diagram was stolen from the ghost's treasury.

Each of these two operations involved life-threatening risks. Without the strange treasures and special abilities they possessed, they could not have been successful.

The top-notch Inner Energy manuals were slightly more prevalent, but they were also not available to ordinary people. They were mainly held by major powers like King Qingshan and Red Thread Woman.

For ordinary people like Zhu Zhenping and Chen Yanli, it was obviously not so easy to get them.

After searching the Taoist temple ruins again and finding nothing new, Xiao Mu and the others left.

The off-road vehicle that Luo Junming found was still there. Everyone got in the car, and Xiao Mu put the long spear on the roof.

As soon as it was placed there, the entire off-road vehicle swayed.

With a weight of several tons, the spear was incredibly heavy.

People took turns driving back down the mountain.

A few hours later, they arrived at the foot of Ghost Mountain and saw a beautiful woman in her early thirties waiting.

"Sister Ying!"

Chen Yanli happily greeted her.

She quickly returned, hand in hand with the beautiful woman, and introduced her to Xiao Mu, "Mr. Xiao, this is my friend, Lan Ying. Ying, this is Mr. Xiao who is selling the Jade Buddha Technique."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Xiao!"

Lan Ying extended her hand to Xiao Mu.

"Nice to meet you!"

Xiao Mu replied politely.

"This is the Energy Fruit."

Lan Ying carefully took out a delicate glass box and handed it to Xiao Mu.

The transparent, light yellow glass box gave a clear view of the Energy Fruit inside. Despite this, Xiao Mu still carefully opened the box for a closer look. Only after confirming its authenticity, did he put away the glass box safely.

He then took out the secret manual of the Jade Buddha Technique and handed it to Chen Yanli.

Chen Yanli couldn't wait to take the secret manual and immediately started learning it.

She had been looking forward to this copy of the Jade Buddha Technique for a long time, even to the point of almost losing her life for it.

"Yan Li, how does it feel? How potent is the Jade Buddha technique?"

Lan Ying kept her gaze on Chen Yanli, impatiently inquiring about the effectiveness of the Jade Buddha Technique as soon as Chen Yanli opened her eyes.

This Jade Buddha Technique was not like the "Xuanmen Zhenggang" that Xiao Mu had previously cultivated on his own.

While the level of the "Xuanmen Zhenggang" was indeed superior to the Jade Buddha Technique, Xiao Mu's cultivation only yielded fragments of the technique each time, and even to this day, he had not yet completely mastered all the content of the "Xuanmen Zhenggang".

This copy of the Jade Buddha Technique, on the other hand, was complete.

"The power feels intense indeed, it really does ward off all sorts of evils. But Ying, I guess I need to retreat for a few days to assimilate it."

Chen Yanli spoke solemnly.

"As you should, once you come out, we can enter the mountain together and kill those evil absurdities."

Lan Ying agreed as a matter of course.

Then, she turned to Xiao Mu, "Mr. Xiao, may I ask, how did you obtain this copy of the Jade Buddha Technique?"

Whether it's the secret manual or the Energy Fruit, neither is easy to acquire. Although ordinary secret manuals and Energy Fruits can be obtained by killing common evil absurdities, it's much harder to come across top-tier or supreme secret manuals.

Xiao Mu answered truthfully, "We conquered a cursed ghost's camp and obtained it from the ghost's treasure vault."

"A cursed ghost's camp!"

Lan Ying involuntarily widened her eyes.

She could hardly imagine that at this stage, someone could actually overthrow a cursed ghost's camp.

"Mr. Xiao, could you leave us a contact? If you acquire more good stuff in the future, we plan to buy from you again."

Without a powerful secret manual, it's impossible to truly enhance one's strength. Even if you are in the same realm, you may not be able to defeat an evil absurdity.

Therefore, simply possessing a realm isn't enough, you also need a strong method.

For Mutated Beings, not only the energy fruit is essential but also the secret manual is equally important.

With Energy Fruit, you can improve your realm, and with powerful skills, you can enhance your strength.

"Sure."

Xiao Mu nonchalantly gave them a contact and casually asked, "Which type of secret manual are you looking for?"

"What type of secret manual do we need?"

Lan Ying and Chen Yanli looked at each other, both dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe. It seemed as though Xiao Mu could get his hands on any type of secret manual.

"Err~"

A moment later, Lan Ying asked: "Mr. Xiao, do you mean that you can get any type of secret manual?"
