"Even better news?" Teng Qingshan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Sixth Elder, let's sit down and talk over there!"
On the shore of the Crescent Moon Lake, four exquisitely carved wooden chairs were placed around a smooth stone table. A wine pot was placed on the stone table. Teng Qingshan and the Sixth Elder sat facing each other.
Putting the Reincarnation Spear aside, Teng Qingshan looked at the Sixth Elder with a smile. "I thought that the Sixth Elder was here to deliver the 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》. But the Sixth Elder said that you have even better news! I can't figure it out … Could it be that the Rising Sun Trading Company has found information on the thirty-six stone inscriptions? "
"Of course not."
The Sixth Elder smiled. "However, it's not far from it!"
"Oh?" Teng Qingshan looked at the Sixth Elder in astonishment and poured a cup of wine for himself and the Sixth Elder. "Sixth Elder, please speak directly. Don't beat around the bush."
"Last night!"
The Sixth Elder said with a smile, "The other trading company in Nanshan City, the 'Situ Trading Company', officially sent a message to all the great clans. They said that their trading company had just received a business deal. A group of esteemed guests left a set of Blunt Vanadium Stone Tablets with the 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》 in their trading company. They also asked the Situ Trading Company to hold a public sale! The date of the public sale has already been set. It's on the 16th of August! There's still about a month until then. "
"Public sale? The stone tablets of the 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》? " Teng Qingshan was somewhat surprised. "Sixth Elder, don't be mistaken. Is that really one of the nine sets of Blunt Vanadium Stone Tablets from the Godly Axe Mountain?"
"The Situ Trading Company has already carefully examined it and confirmed that it is one of the nine sets!"
The Sixth Elder was extremely certain. "We invited many experts who are proficient in antiques to appraise it. That Blunt Vanadium Stone Tablet has indeed been stored for thousands of years. Moreover, we also invited a Martial Saint expert to appraise it. The carvings and writings on the Blunt Vanadium Stone Tablet also have a powerful aura. "
The nine sets of Blunt Vanadium Stone Tablets were rubbed from the thirty-six stone inscriptions. They were all rubbed from the original. Whether it was the carvings or the size, they were all exactly the same. Naturally, they gave off a peculiar aura.
"Although this set of Blunt Vanadium Stone Tablets is definitely not as precious as the thirty-six stone inscriptions, I'm afraid it can't even be compared to a single stone inscription. However … in the present world, the thirty-six stone inscriptions could not be found. Therefore, this set of Blunt Vanadium Stone Tablets will definitely attract many clans to fight to buy them! "The Sixth Elder looked towards Teng Qingshan." After all, this set of stone tablets will be of great benefit to the descendants of the clans. So … when the time comes for the 'sale', the quoted price might be very high! "
Teng Qingshan's heart was itching.
With Teng Qingshan's comprehension of 'Dao', he believed that he would be able to comprehend something from this set of Blunt Vanadium Stone Tablets.
"Sixth Elder, how high do you think the price of this set of stone slabs will be?" Teng Qingshan asked.
"As far as I know, the Situ Trading Company has announced a base price of thirty thousand taels of gold!" Sixth Elder shook his head and said solemnly, "However, this is only the base price! Nowadays, all the great clans are fighting, and at the same time, they attach great importance to the education of their descendants. There will definitely be many clans that want to obtain this set of Blunt Vanadium Stone Tablets. "
"I estimate — at least a hundred thousand taels of gold!"
"If all parties are fighting over it, or if two rival clans are at loggerheads, I'm afraid the quoted price will rise crazily! Under such circumstances, there's really no way to predict what kind of price it will be. " Sixth Elder sighed. "No matter what, this set of Blunt Vanadium Stone Tablets will be the most expensive set of treasures in the near future."
Teng Qingshan's heart was heavy.
According to what Sixth Elder had said, it was very possible that the price would rise to hundreds of thousands of taels of gold! For some small clans, such as the already extinct Liu Clan of the Dark Steel River, these hundreds of thousands of taels of gold would practically empty their entire clan's assets. However, for some of the great clans that ruled over millions of citizens, or even tens of millions of citizens.
Although hundreds of thousands of taels of gold was a large number, it was not unbearable!
A set of Blunt Vanadium Stone Tablets was enough to produce some strong axe wielders among the clan's descendants.
"Sigh!" Sixth Elder shook his head and said, "If this set of Blunt Vanadium Stone Tablets was given to the Rising Sun Trading Company for the 'auction', we could help Mister. Unfortunately, it was given to the Situ Trading Company for the auction! "
Although the Rising Sun Trading Company was the largest trading company in the world!
However, there were still some trading companies that were weaker than it, but could still compete with it. The Situ Trading Company was one of them!
"Mister, do you also want to participate in the auction?" Sixth Elder asked.
The word 'auction' also meant auction.
"Yes." Teng Qingshan nodded.
"Mister, are you worried that you don't have enough money?" Sixth Elder asked.
"This is a large number." Teng Qingshan was indeed somewhat worried.
Sixth Elder frowned and said, "Mister … how about this, you go and participate in the auction. Mister, you probably have some gold! The Rising Sun Trading Company can lend you one hundred and twenty thousand taels of gold. In Nanshan City, our trading company can only provide this much gold. I can't do anything more. Mister, after you borrow it, you don't have to return it in a hurry. It won't be too late to return it when you have extra money. "
For a big trading company, the amount of wealth was certainly astonishing.
However, in Nanshan City, the biggest city, the Rising Sun Trading Company could only transfer so much. Any more and it would affect the trading company's operations.
"Sixth Elder, if I really need it, I, Teng Qingshan, will return it quickly." Teng Qingshan said.
"How could our trading company not trust Mister?" Sixth Elder said with a smile.
Some commoners worked hard to earn dozens of silver taels a year, but the identity of a peak innate expert like Teng Qingshan was worth one hundred and twenty thousand taels of gold.
"16th of August!" Teng Qingshan silently remembered this number.
*****
After the Sixth Elder left, Teng Qingshan used an astonishing speed to rush towards the coast of the South Sea of Duanmu Continent that very evening! Although the location where the tungsten wood vessel was buried was two thousand Li away from Nanshan City, Teng Qingshan's speed was faster than three Dragon Horses!
It wasn't strange that Teng Qingshan's physical strength exceeded eight hundred thousand Jin. His physical strength was comparable to a Golden Dan Innate Demonic Beast!
It wasn't strange that his speed was faster than a Dark Demonic Horse.
A Dark Demonic Horse could travel five thousand Li in a day. When Teng Qingshan was in the ocean, in the terrifying Chaotic Sea, Teng Qingshan dragged a large ship and swam two to three thousand Li in one day and one night, dragging the ship out of the Chaotic Sea. Even dragging a ship in the ocean could be so fast.
One could imagine the speed of running on land!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The passersby on the official road only felt a gust of wind, and Teng Qingshan was already seventy to eighty Zhang away. With another flash, he disappeared from their sight.
… …
In the dark night, the hazy moonlight and the light of the stars covered the sand and stones with a layer of misty gauze.
"Walla ~ ~" The seawater slapped against the shore.
Teng Qingshan was in a large pit of sand and stones.
"Hey!" Teng Qingshan carried the second box out of the pit of sand and stones. Then, he quickly pushed a large amount of sand and stones into the pit, burying the entire pit. After that, he disguised himself slightly, making it difficult for others to see through him.
"Including these two boxes of gold, there is a total of thirty-two thousand Jin of gold, which is three hundred and twenty thousand taels of gold! I believe it should be enough to buy that set of Blunt Vanadium Stone Tablets. If there is really no other way, the Rising Sun Trading Company still has one hundred and twenty thousand taels of gold! "Teng Qingshan was rather indifferent to money.
Money was a necessity, but … with Teng Qingshan's methods, it was too easy to obtain money.
He could directly go to some evil and notorious clans or gangs and rob them!
"Let's go!" He carried a large box on his shoulder.
Teng Qing Shan carried a weight of over 20,000 Jin and immediately ran away from the sandy beach. Even someone as strong as Teng Qingshan couldn't run as fast as he did when he came over while carrying over twenty thousand Jin!
Of course, even though he ran slowly, he was still faster than an ordinary warhorse.
Before dawn the next day, Teng Qingshan carried the two large boxes of gold and returned to the Crescent Moon Lake at the foot of the Godly Axe Mountain outside Nanshan City.
"Bang!" "Bang!" The two large boxes were placed on the grassland. Teng Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief.
"Teacher!" An awkward voice came from the lakeside. Teng Shou, who was practicing the Three Postures, looked respectfully at Teng Qingshan. Although he had only learned from Teng Qingshan for two to three days, Teng Qingshan had to admit that … this Teng Shou was definitely a genius in learning Xing Yi!
Perhaps … before learning Xing Yi Martial Arts, Teng Shou had already understood the true concept of Xing Yi Martial Arts.
Teng Qingshan had only practiced the Twelve Forms of Xing Yi once. Teng Shou had only learned for an hour, yet his achievements in the Twelve Forms of Xing Yi could be said to have reached the peak.
"Big Brother Teng, you are back." Li Jun walked out.
"Yes." Teng Qingshan smiled and nodded. At the same time, he pointed at the two boxes and instructed, "Ah Shou, carry these two boxes into the house!" With this, he pointed towards the house.
Teng Shou didn't understand Teng Qingshan's words. However, he understood Teng Qingshan's hand gestures.
"Yes, Teacher."
Teng Shou exerted strength with his left arm and carried one box. He exerted strength with his right arm and carried the other box. Every step he took left deep footprints on the ground. Teng Shou spent a lot of effort to carry the two boxes of gold from the outside into the stone house. When he came out of the house, Teng Shou looked at Teng Qingshan with an even more respectful gaze.
How far did Teng Shou carry it?
Teng Qingshan sprinted two to three thousand Li!
"Continue practicing." Teng Qingshan ordered. Teng Shou obediently went to practice.
Teng Qingshan changed his dirty clothes that were covered in dust and put on a dry short shirt. Then he came out to practice.
… …
Teng Qingshan, Li Jun, Teng Shou, Little Ping, and coachman Old Wang were eating breakfast around the table. The morning was cold and misty, but the Crescent Moon Lake was like a fairyland.
"Mister Teng." A familiar voice came from afar.
Teng Qingshan turned his head and saw the silver-haired Sixth Elder walking over with a smile on his face. "The 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》 was delivered last night. I delivered it to Mister early in the morning." With this, he took out a book wrapped in a golden cloth and handed it to Teng Qingshan.
"Thank you, Sixth Elder." Teng Qingshan stood up and took the book with a smile. He then opened the golden cloth.
A thin, thread-bound book with a black cover appeared before Teng Qingshan's eyes. Six big words were written on the cover — "Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms"!
