Searing Lotus was a useless art in the ancient past, many people called the manual trash, who knew that the art was only a single chapter in the original manual Searing Art! After many decades of war,
the original art was forgotten, a single person on the whole planet has 1 ancient art and that is
"Battle God" earning his title in the great wars he ascended humanity, his known cultivation is at a half-step Immortal Doulou, but this man disappeared, after a few decades he was the topic of many different books, everyone called him a legend, he made peace around the world, but after he disappeared war broke loose again peoples greed got ahead of them which caused the doom of their own country.
Meanwhile at the auction house
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
People screaming and arguing, wondering how to obtain the manual. They all took their precious money out, When Ren saw this he was curious about how the event will turn out.
"Father Shen I believe I as your daughter, can sacrifice my dignity in order for you to gain the art!" the girl said (Daughter of Patriarch Shen, Su)
"I'm afraid I wouldn't need you to gain this art I'm the richest here anyway"
"Of course father, please forgive me for my stupidity." the girl then sat down next to his father again scratching her nose wondering if she made a fool out of herself.
"Starting price is 500 gold coins! LET THE BIDDING BEGIN!"
"Wow such a low price for a rare manual!" said the outsider
"1 Platinum Pouch!" said the Patriarch Shen!
Gasps were heard everywhere the price doubled right at the start! but these cultivators will not be beaten easily
"Raise 250 gold coins!" said a lone cultivator
"1250!"
"Raise 500 gold coins!" said the appraiser
"1750!"
"Raise 500 gold coins!" said Shen
"2250!"
"Raise 5 Gold Pouches!" said Rin (Patriarch of Dup Family)

Ren's mouth was hanging from shock.

'System about the Free Duplicate what can I duplicate exactly?'
'You can duplicate a Grade 1 Ancient Art at most'
'Then can you duplicate the art?' said Ren
'Think about your decision properly, I recommend duplicating your souls' vessel first'
'I can do that!? Then please do so, Use Free Duplicate to duplicate my body'
Then Ren suddenly passed out, waking a few hours later he talked to the system.
Ren groaned as he touched his head stretching out his body like a newborn baby.
