Chapter 123 Spreading the Military Classics
The next day, in the commercial center of Fengyun City.

The storyteller, who had changed his appearance, set up a storytelling stall on the street and began to tell another anecdote to passers-by.

"It is said that three hundred years ago, there was a peerless master in the martial arts world named King Yadi. This man was extremely talented. Before he was forty years old, he defeated all the masters in the martial arts world at that time and won the world's number one title on the Fengyun Monument..."

Unlike the inn we visited last night, which was built next to a brothel, the commercial center had a larger flow of people, news spread faster, and there was a public pavilion next to it.

At this time, under the vivid narration of the storyteller, the stories about King Yadi, Jilu and the Military Classics were spread half-truthfully into the big water tank of Jianghu.

More and more people were attracted by the storyteller's narration. They gathered in front of the storytelling stall, with their eyes wide open and serious expressions on their faces, quietly listening to the legendary life of a martial arts master.

"King Yadi died of depression because his beloved wife was ambushed by a group of martial arts masters and imprisoned in death row..."

"But these people don't know that before he died, he left behind a unique martial arts book that encompasses the mysteries of his lifelong martial arts. It's called 'Weaponry and Armor Classics'..."

Most people in the underworld live on the edge of a knife every day, and their lives are already very painful, so in their spare time, they like to listen to stories that they have never been exposed to.

They love to hear about beautiful women and romance, heroes and knights, gossip about martial arts, and the rise and fall of martial arts...

Because these stories are very intuitive, they do not require high levels of wisdom and martial arts from the audience and commentators - after all, as long as one is in the world, anyone has the right to comment on famous people.

Listening to storytelling and anecdotes can fill the deepest desires of the martial artists at the bottom of the world and trigger resonance in their souls.

And now the story about King Yadi is exactly in line with one of the stories that people in the martial arts world love to hear, which is called "The Ups and Downs of the World's Number One Master's Life".

Became famous at a young age, was extremely talented, lost all his life, was the best in the world, was trapped because of love, died in grief and anger... How touching and sad!
Before this master died, he actually wrote down a martial arts secret manual that contained the essence of his life's martial arts and left it to future generations. Isn't this the beginning of the most romantic and traditional story of the martial arts world?

In the crowd, Lu Ping nodded with satisfaction.

"This guy is quite capable..."

The storyteller's story was naturally given by Lu Ping, and he was asked to tell it to people who travel around the world today, at this place, and to do so for three consecutive days without repeating the same story.

Of course, Lu Ping didn't need to pay to ask the other party to tell stories and help him spread the news about the military classics - such a good story was given to him for free, and he still wanted money?

This storyteller was indeed very talented. After getting the outline of the story, he only spent one night to add a lot of "details" to Lu Ping's story.

This includes the plot of 'King Yadi defeated the heroes in the martial arts world and won the number one title in the world in the former Fengyun Monument', which just happens to take advantage of the current popularity of the opening of the Fengyun Monument.

Just a quick try and the effect is remarkable!

After listening to almost everything, Lu Ping quietly left the crowd.

Revealing the existence of the Weapon and Armor Martial Arts Manual is only the first step. After that, it is time to spread martial arts throughout the world, create "adventures", and wait for the lucky person to appear.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping's steps became lighter.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at Taobao Street next to the commercial center.

Taobao Street, as the name suggests, is the largest gathering center for "low-price Taobao" in Fengyun City.

Taobao Street is very long. It took Lu Ping a full quarter of an hour to walk from the beginning to the end of the street, and another quarter of an hour to walk from the end back to the beginning of the street.

During the trip, Lu Ping saw various shops or stalls selling weapons and hidden weapons, martial arts secrets, poisons and elixirs, daily necessities, and even pets.

There are more people here than in the commercial center, and the reason is not difficult to understand. Taobao Street sells a wider variety of items, and the price-performance ratio is generally higher.

However, what attracts tourists the most in Taobao Street is not the good quality and low price of goods, but the fact that tourists can not only buy things but also sell things.

Tourists don't necessarily have to have a stall to sell things, there are places specifically for tourists to trade freely.

Free exchange.

A luxurious, gorgeous, and conspicuous super-large trading building with five floors, covering hundreds of square meters and more than six meters high.

It is also the place with the most crowded traffic in the entire Taobao Street.

Lu Ping strode into the Free Exchange. The first thing he did was to find the manager, and then put the Military Scriptures of the Gods into the venue for sale. The process of buying and selling things in the Free Exchange is as follows:
First, the seller deposits the items he wants to sell and sets a reserve price. Then, within three days, everyone can see it and bid for the auction.

After three days, the highest bidder wins the item.

Of course, if someone is wealthy and doesn’t want to waste three days waiting for the auction to end, they can also buy the item directly at ten times the reserve price.

Finally, the seller only needs to come and collect the money.

In this process, the operators of the exchange do not care what is being bought or sold, or what the final transaction price is, and they only charge a fixed fee of one or two taels of silver.

One ounce of silver...

The main features are preferential prices, small profits but quick turnover, and accumulation of small amounts into large amounts.

Lu Ping first looked at the prices in the martial arts secrets area.

"Sunflower acupuncture finger, priced at three thousand taels; Shaolin's unique skill, the Flower Picking Finger, priced at five thousand taels; Thousand Spiders and Ten Thousand Poison Hands, priced at eight thousand taels; Taoist Gu of Bashan's Hui Feng Wu Liu Sword, priced at ten thousand taels..."

After thinking it over again and again, Lu Ping set the price of the Weapon and Armor Martial Arts Divine Character Scroll at one hundred thousand taels of silver.

He really wanted to distribute the military manuals to the world, but if the price was too low, it would definitely not attract the attention of the people in the world, because most people would just think "you get what you pay for".

But if the reserve price is set higher like it is now, the effect will be completely different. The buyer will more likely think that it must be a very powerful martial arts secret book, so the price is so high.

Of course, the most important thing is that once the "high price" is put on the table, it will attract more attention than those things with lower prices.

What's more, in the next three days, there will be stories about King Yadi spread by storytellers. Combining the two, it is expected that it will be enough to become the first wave of enthusiasm after the opening of this Fengyun Monument.

After coming out of the free exchange, Lu Ping found that the number of people on Taobao Street had decreased by 80% to 90%.

He was not surprised by this, because the Fengyun Monument would be opened this afternoon, and there was only about an hour left.

One hour is two hours, and the distance from Fengyun City to Tianyun Mountain is thirty miles, which is fifteen kilometers. It takes nearly half an hour to ride a horse for such a long distance.

It is true that people who practice martial arts have internal strength and are stronger than ordinary people, but there are only a few people like Lu Ping who have abundant internal strength, abundant physical strength, and good lightness skills.

"Calculating the time, it's almost time for me to leave..."

Lu Ping turned and walked east. After leaving Fengyun City, he used the Water Wind Step and drove directly on the road.

Along the way, Lu Ping saw many different kinds of people from the martial arts world. Some of them were riding horses or driving cars, while others were running quickly using light skills. The closer they got to Tianyun Mountain, the more people were walking.

However, these people were all heading in the same direction and taking the same road as him. It was obvious that they all came here to witness the grand event at the Fengyun Monument.

While rushing, Lu Ping could vaguely hear exclamations from behind him such as "What happened just now?", "It seemed like a gust of white wind was blowing?", "That's a person?"

Not long after, Lu Ping arrived at the foot of Tianyun Mountain.

pat-

After arriving at the destination, the first thing Lu Ping did was to take out the pocket watch he had just bought on Taobao Street and calculate his speed.

“It actually took 5 minutes?!”

I still remember that there was a test about the speed of Qinggong in the Thunderbolt world. The question was: How long does it take to run thirty miles straight using Qinggong?
At that time, one of the two demon characters said "a moment is more than enough", and the other said "half a moment". One of the protagonists of the period, Wu Wushang, said that for himself "half a cup of tea is enough". Su Huanzhen considered himself to be similar to Wu Wushang.

Taking into account the possibility that Su Huanzhen may have hidden moves, he is not taken into consideration.

"Half a cup of tea is just five minutes, so my Qinggong is now about the same as Wushang's. And he is not an expert swordsman who excels in Qinggong..."

Thinking of this, Lu Ping's face suddenly became melancholy and he frowned.

"Sure enough, I still can't master the Water Wind Step..."
