Which one do you consider to be the most sought-after?
(a poll is coming)
DGSD: 72 Supreme Arts of Shaolin; JMZ, MRB, XYS all stole from this art
DGSD: Yijinjing; JMZ, Ah Zhu, Murong Family and others tried to steal
pre-LOCH: 9 Yin; the Greats and others competed for control of it
HSDS: Heavenly Sword and/or the Dragon Sabre; the secret was killing everyone
Ode to Gallantry kung fu; everyone who saw it was 100% addicted to this art
Ode to Gallantry: Xie Yanke's Black Steel Symbol; ppl from all walks wanted it
SPW: Sunflower Manuscript; was already earth-shatteringly infamous before story began
ANOTHER KUNG FU WAS THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER, EVER
Which one do you consider to be the most sought-after?

忽见柳荫下两个小孩子在哀哀痛哭,瞧模样正是武敦儒、武修文兄弟。郭芙大声叫道:「喂,你们在干甚麽?」武 修文回头见是郭芙,哭道:「我们在哭,你不见麽?」
Each and everyone one on the poll has a lot of people wanting it. But could we truly compare them in an accurate way? Not really. I think the DS and HS are the most sought-after.
technically, people after the HSDS were after 9 yin too :P...they just didn't know it.

I think HSDS because not only do you get the martial treasure 9 Yin, but you also get the warring manual of the legendary general-Yue Fei.
法王正欲回掌相击,突听嗤嗤轻响,一股柔和的气流涌向面门,正是一灯大师使出“一阳指”功夫,正面拦截。法王一直没将这白眉老僧放在眼内,那料到他这一指之功,竟是如此深厚。
此时一灯大师的“一阳指”功夫实已到了登峰造极、炉火纯青的地步,指上发出的那股罡气似是温淳平和,但沛然浑厚,无可与抗。
I agree that it should be the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Sabre because more people were killed or had their lives changed forever due to the pursuit of the two weapons than the pursuit of any other wulin artifact. I don't think any other artifact caused more overall strife in wulin.

9yin was desired by more powerful people than the HS/DS, perhaps that makes 9yin more valuable since even someone as arrogant as Huang Yaoshi would resort to tricks to get 9YIN?Originally Posted by Ken Cheng
Most sought after did not mean most valuable. Just the most 'well marketed'.
It should be the HSDS.
Most VALUED is naturally HSDS with army+martial art. You also get 9 Yin the package, except it comes as a suprise.

The HSDS followed by QHBD. The rest are only known to a handful of top experts and didn't bother the rest of wulin that much.

HS/DSS 'cuz everyone had the delusion that having both would mean that the owner would rule over the martial arts world.
Only Priestess Mie Jue and ZZR knew what was going on.

It never actually did say what the people who wanted to get the HSDS wanted to do with it? I mean did they suspect a martial arts manual, or did they really believe it was a divine object that magically lets them rule? It's like...YAY I GOT IT!! *2 minutes later* Uhh now what...
They knew there was a secret to figure out, but nobody ever came close to guessing what that secret was. Tse Tsun held on to that darn sabre for over twenty years and he never came close to discovering its secret.Originally Posted by tape
A little off topic:
Why on earth did Xie Yanke give out the Black Steel Symbol? He didnt want anything in return did he?
On topic:
HS and DS. DS changed owner several times, and many people saw that they had a chance get hold on it. 9Yin was great, but it was possesed by the Greats. Most people gave up the idea of getting hold on it.
You do know that it is just fiction, dont you?
Briefly, Xie Yanke had 3 Black Steel Symbols that he gave to 3 friends who had helped him in the past, so that he could return their favours in their time of need.Originally Posted by AnhHung
If you need further information, you could continue discussing this in the Xia Ke Xing (Ode to Gallantry) thread.
The HSDS definitely, so many people died for it.
The secret was indeed well-kept.
