Chapter 189: Rubbings of the Nine Cauldrons of Heaven and Man?
After Jiang Hua left, the warrior named Ji whispered to Zhou You, "That man is one of the fighting generals in the cockfighting arena, just like Ma Yuanyang."

Cockfighting is not only about cockfighting, but also about fighting people and monsters. Whatever is more exciting, people will fight for it.
To be precise, it is an arena, not a cockfighting arena!
Not only are treasures of unknown origin traded freely and auctioned here, but black boxing life-and-death fights are also held regularly.

Black boxing is a shady business filled with bloody and brutal scenes. The loser will die, and it is a luxury to leave a whole body intact.

It is said that the minced meat shipped out of the cockfighting arena every day can fill five large vats.

Anyone who survives multiple life-and-death battles is an elite, known as... fighting generals.

Each fighting general is a top warrior at the same level, who can fight against the majority with the minority and even cross the level.

With the explanation of the warrior named Ji, Zhou You also understood where Jiang Hua's huge wealth came from.

The benefits of winning a boxing fight are extremely lucrative. There is a prize for a win, tips from generous spectators, and you can even bet on yourself to win, with very impressive odds.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you survive and become a fighting general, you will never be short of money.

"The man just now was well-known among the warriors at the initial stage of Qi and Blood in the cockfighting arena. He was good at Blood Sand Palm and his attacks were ruthless. The warriors who died at his hands were all sucked to the bone."

"Well, some people speculate that he is not from here."

Zhou You's eyebrows twitched, and he finally understood why Jiang Hua was not in the martial arts gym for many years.

I only heard that he was away on business all year round, and it turned out that he had a side job in the city, doing underground boxing to earn money for his studies.

I have to say, it’s inspiring!

By fighting underworld boxing, he earned a huge sum of money, enough to buy a house in the city, and then bought two worms.

The warrior named Ji observed his expression and encouraged him, "Are you interested in making some extra money? I have a way to introduce you to a fight."

Ok?
Zhou You turned his head and looked at him with a somewhat amusement in his eyes. This was not right!

"If Brother Lu wasn't short of money, he wouldn't have to go to such a dangerous place."

The warrior named Ji said with an embarrassed smile.

In the circle, the last item was revealed, and the atmosphere around suddenly changed.

The owner's voice was loud and clear, "A rubbing, half a foot square, printed with cinnabar as ink, with half a character remaining, it seems to be... one of the inscriptions on the Nine Cauldrons of Heaven and Man."

“…without setting a reserve price, the auction will go to the highest bidder.”

The surrounding warriors were silent for a while, and then they collectively exploded. What a joke!
The Nine Cauldrons of Heaven and Man are legendary objects. They can be big or small, and have countless variations. Some are high above the clouds in the sky and live among the clouds, while others are integrated into the earth and become one with the famous mountains and rivers.

All martial arts in the world originated from the nine large tripods, which can be said to be the spiritual totem of all those who practice martial arts.

There are even secrets that say whoever can obtain the contents of the Nine Cauldrons of Heaven and Man can understand the mysteries of Heaven and Man, break through all martial arts realms, and become the world's supreme martial saint.

The Martial Saint! The Martial Saint is the ultimate being who is qualified to break the old cage of heaven and earth and have a dialogue with heaven and man.

Whether in terms of age or realm, it is too far away from the top. The Qi and blood warriors present all regard it as a myth, and even the Nine Cauldrons of Heaven and Man are not sure whether they really exist.

Now, someone took out a palm-sized rubbing with half a blurry ancient character on it, and said it was from the Nine Cauldrons of Heaven.

Ugh, you must be crazy to buy this piece of rubbish...

"10 taels." A hand was raised, "...gold."

Some people felt their heads buzzing and their faces flushed, as if they had been slapped hard in the face.

Someone really took this photo?

10 taels of gold, 5 times the previous transaction amount, equals 100 taels of silver, which can buy 5 houses in the inner courtyard of the city, or 10 blood god leeches.

The warrior surnamed Ji's breathing became heavy, and he cursed, "Damn it." Before everyone could catch their breath, higher bids came one after another...

"1000 pearls, plus 20 square meters of jasper. If that's not enough, I also have a stable with 800 fine horses."

Crazy, completely crazy!
It's just a yellowed piece of torn paper that a child could rip into pieces by urinating in it, why are so many people fighting for it?
"My master's name is Yanshan. He promised to help me once in exchange for this item."

Yanshan, nicknamed the Hateful Overlord, is a high-level martial artist and one of the most famous strong men in the city. He owns 5 martial arts gyms, each of which is several times larger than Jianxiong Martial Arts Gym.

It is no exaggeration to say that this man's disciples can organize an army of elite soldiers.

His promise is worth more than the previous quotations!
The person who made the bid was a disciple of Yanshan. He did not hide his identity and looked at the owner of the goods with a sharp gaze.

The owner of the goods looked hesitant, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. All eyes were on him, waiting for an answer.

Suddenly, a man in green clothes outside the crowd raised his hand and said, "Our Liu family wants this rubbing."

The Liu family is one of the famous families in the city. It originated from one of the 72 ancient tribes. It is an aristocrat among aristocrats and a wealthy family among wealthy families.

The person who made the offer wore a blue robe and a small hat, and was dressed like a servant, but looking at his aura and figure, no one dared to mistake him for an ordinary servant.

Whenever the Liu family's servants walked outside, they would treat everyone as guests of honor.

The host's tense face suddenly turned into a smile. "Why did you come in person? Send someone to tell them and I'll send someone over."

The man in green waved his hand and said, "We still have to abide by the rules of the cockfighting arena."

He looked at the owner and said, "Come back to Liu's house with me. As long as the goods are right, you can name the price."

Zhou You noticed a flash of unnaturalness in the owner's expression, but he didn't say anything in the end and just followed him obediently.

I don’t even know the final transaction price!
Everyone couldn't help but find it boring, but it was somewhat unusual for the Liu family to intervene in a transaction of this level.

The cockfighting arena is a place where both the elite and the common people coexist. Warriors of great spirit and martial arts can come, as can common people and nobles.

The area Zhou You came to was an entry-level area with no threshold, and all around were ordinary warriors.

High-end players have high-end games, and they are not involved in this area.

Some people speculate that even if the rubbing is not the real Nine Cauldrons of Heaven and Man, it is very closely related.

"Doesn't this mean that the owner of the rubbings can achieve financial freedom with just a piece of torn paper?"

The warrior surnamed Ji smiled and shook his head after hearing this, "Wealth is there, but freedom is not necessarily there."

"It is more likely that he will be imprisoned in a corner of the palace from now on, and all the secrets about rubbings will be slowly squeezed out of him."

"Don't you see? People are reluctant to leave because they know the other person's style too well."

The nobles and wealthy families would not stoop so low as to kill people for property unless it was absolutely necessary, but they would have more bloodless means of killing people.

Zhou You was thinking more in his mind, the rubbing seemed familiar no matter how he looked at it.

The few words that were copied from the tree tumor of my godmother were surprisingly similar, although their size was reduced by dozens of times.

His first reaction was not ecstasy, but fear.

Because Master Zeng said that the wealthy and aristocratic families originated from the leaders of the seventy-two ancestral tribes, who raised funds to cast the Nine Cauldrons of Heaven and Man.

The family mission they inherited was to collect clues about all the Nine Cauldrons in the world.

Once the other party discovered that Zhou You had a rubbing of something that looked like the Nine Cauldrons of Heaven and Man on him, it would definitely cause a bloody storm.
