Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 200 Auction

Touching the banknotes in his hand, Lu Ping sighed.

"I didn't expect the Giant Whale Gang to be so rich. A mere elder could bring 500,000 taels to a place like this to spend money. I wonder how much money they make on the waterways of the three southeastern counties."

Five hundred thousand taels...

This Bat Island really deserves the name of 'Golden Den'!

Duan Tianya frowned: "Even if Li Tianhao embezzled the public funds of the Giant Whale Gang, there is no way he could have so much money!"

"I think the situation here is probably not simple. It is very likely that before he set out, he first borrowed money from a bank or someone else to raise the 500,000 or 200,000 taels."

"If it's the latter, then the person who borrowed the money is not simple!"

Lu Ping curled his lips and stuffed the banknotes into his arms naturally: "Why bother so much? Anyway, the five hundred thousand taels are ours now!"

"If you see anything you like, just tell me!"

Hearing this, Murong Jiu's eyes lit up instantly and he smiled brilliantly: "Tell you, are you going to buy it for us?"

She had heard from Old Zhang before that many rare and unheard-of items were often put up for auction in this den of brothel.

Lu Ping laughed, then shook his head: "It's impossible to buy it."

"You're so generous even if you don't buy it?"

Murong Jiu's eyes instantly lost their luster and the smile on his face froze. He felt that he was being fooled again.

"I mean, now that we're here, why would we need to buy anything?"

"If we see something we like, we'll just grab it!"

Lu Ping clenched his fists, a greedy look like a bandit's appeared on his face.

This scene made Duan Tianya and Murong Jiu sweat profusely.

I originally thought that Lu Ping's monopolization of Li Tianhao's 500,000 taels was already the lowest limit of human nature, but I didn't expect that he would actually plan to snatch the auction items here...

As expected, am I still too kind?

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Dear guest, we should go to the venue."

Lu Ping and the other two looked at each other, immediately put on their outer robes and masks, and after they were ready, they pushed open the door.

Seeing the appearance of Lu Ping and others, the servant who came to lead the way was a little surprised.

The auction venue is inside a cave on Bat Island, and there is no light anywhere. Normally, there is no need to disguise oneself. Wearing a robe or a mask is unnecessary.

However, although he was confused, the servant did not dare to ask more questions and turned around to lead the way.

"Please follow me, my three distinguished guests."

It was around 9:00 p.m. at this time, and the sky was bright outside, but it was pitch dark inside the cave.

Led by the servant, Lu Ping walked into the dark 'customer passage'. There was no light at all along the way, and he could only walk by leaning on the shoulder of the person in front of him.

Not to mention the sense of direction, even the sense of space and time are gradually lost.

After an unknown amount of time, the three were finally brought to the trade fair venue.

The trading venue was transformed from a natural cave inside the mountain. It looks like a three-story stage. A platform was built in the middle of the first floor to place the auction items.

The seats for all participants are on the highest floor. There is no light here, so there is no need to worry about the participants' true faces being seen. They only address each other by the numerical codes of the corresponding seats.

When several people arrived, there were noises coming from the seats on the left and right opposite to them. It was obvious that everyone arrived at about the same time.

"Everyone arrived at the venue almost at the same time, but I didn't notice anyone else along the way. It seems that there are multiple passages in this cave. It's like an ant nest..."

Even with Lu Ping's good eyesight, he couldn't see the people in other seats in the dark. However, he had no interest in other people and focused on the auction items.

Soon, a blurry figure appeared on the largest seat opposite.

Everyone knows that there is only one person who can sit there, and that is the owner of this island, Mr. Bat.

But Mr. Bat will not show up nor speak. The host of this trade fair is his subordinate, Ding Feng.

"Cough cough..."

"It's finally time for the quarterly Bat Island auction. I will host this auction again."

"Before we officially start the auction, please allow me to express my sincerest respects to all the distinguished guests present..."

After everyone arrived, Ding Feng, at the signal of Bat Prince, first gave a nonsensical opening speech to liven up the atmosphere. When the atmosphere was almost right, he ordered his men to present the auction items.

"The first item for sale today is a set of martial arts, called 'Turtle Shell Magic'."

An old voice sounded in the darkness.

"Turtle Shell Magic? Could it be the unique skill created by the turtle Taoist in the South China Sea?"

The Bat Prince said, "Not bad."

"This skill is the essence of the lifelong martial arts of the Sea Turtle Taoist. After learning it, you can use your internal force to condense a layer of protective air shield around your body like a turtle shell. It has a very high inhibitory effect on finger force, palm force, fist force and other fist and foot skills. It is the best defensive skill in the world."

Turtle shell magic?

Isn’t that the Kung Fu that Gongsun Wulong practiced?
According to "Wulin Wai Zhuan", if this martial art is practiced to perfection, it can even defend against acupuncture attacks from a distance, which makes it a good defensive martial art.

But it seems that the old man Gongsun Wulong had been beaten into a pulp by his palm a long time ago, and became the food of the fish at the bottom of the "Palm Lake" in Qixia Town? Those who came to bid were all in the martial arts world, and they must have heard about Gongsun Wulong's death in Qixia Town. Is there really anyone who would buy this martial art?
"Seventy thousand taels!"

"Seventy-five thousand taels!"

"One hundred thousand taels!"

Several bidding sounds were heard one after another. Lu Ping's eyes widened instantly and he was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted.

It seems that I have practiced martial arts from the Thunderbolt world and set my sights too high!

For ordinary people in the martial arts world, this level of kung fu, which is life-saving kung fu, has always been in short supply, enough for them to spend a lot of money to buy it and spend a lot of time to study it.

Eventually, this "Turtle Shell Magic Skill" was bought for 150,000 taels.

"This is just the first item, and there are already 150,000 taels of turnover..."

Lu Ping couldn't help but talk in a low voice with Murong Jiu and Duan Tianya beside him.

"I originally thought that the 500,000 taels of silver that Li Tianhao brought was already a lot, but now it seems that he is probably the poorest among these people!"

"Yeah, it's crazy!"

"So where are Brother Lin and Brother Shangguan?"

"I think the two of them are likely to become 'auction items' and will be on display soon."

While the three were talking, Bat Prince was also speaking.

He explained the rules of Bat Island to other bidders, such as 'no one will know the bidder's identity' and 'the same item will not be auctioned twice', so that bidders can participate in the auction with confidence.

Lu Ping knew that this might be the case on the surface, but as the mastermind behind the auction, the intelligence and purchasing records of all participants were in his hands.

And these information and records will be the best weapon for him to control those people and dominate the martial arts world in the future.

"The second item to be auctioned is Shangguan Jinhong's dragon and phoenix double ring."

"The Dragon and Phoenix Double Rings themselves are not rare, but since they are weapons used by Shangguan Jinhong, they still have a certain collection value for those who are interested in them."

As soon as Mr. Bat finished speaking, a questioning voice sounded in the darkness.

"Is your dragon and phoenix double environmental protection real?"

"I heard that Shangguan Jinhong died in the turmoil in Qixia Town. Even Shangguan Jinhong himself was not found. How could his personal weapons be left behind?"

The person who raised the question was of course Lu Ping.

As the one who had originally used the Heavenly Dao Pingzong move, he absolutely did not believe that a mere metal object could remain intact under the power of his palm.

Young Master Bat explained, "This gentleman is right. The weapons that Shangguan Jinhong carried with him were of course buried by the earthquake, but he has more than one pair of dragon and phoenix rings!"

"This pair of dragon and phoenix rings was found in the secret room of Shangguan Jinhong's room in the Jinqian Gang base."

It is not uncommon for a man in the martial arts world to make himself an identical pair of weapons as a backup.

"I heard that Shangguan Jinhong's son Shangguan Fei also used the Dragon and Phoenix Rings as weapons. How do we know that this pair of weapons must have been used by Shangguan Jinhong and not Shangguan Fei?"

"Has Bat Island ever sold fake goods?"

"Everyone can say nice things."

There was silence in the darkness for a while, and the atmosphere seemed a little frozen.

“Hahaha… This young friend must be here for the first time, right?”

I don't know who stepped forward to ease the atmosphere, and said to Lu Ping from a distance: "When I first came here, I was also suspicious like you, so I can completely understand your thoughts."

"But I can assure you that you are worrying too much. The credibility of Bat Island can be guaranteed!"

Lu Ping insisted: "You are so generous to smooth things over for others, you are not his agent, right?"

"Uh……"

The sound stopped abruptly, while extremely faint laughter could be heard from other seats around.

"If you are not interested in this collection, I advise you to say less. If you want to show off, you have to choose the right time!"

Another person spoke up to persuade him. From the tone of his voice, he should have realized that Lu Ping was a young man and thought that Lu Ping was too eager to show off, so he did this.

"Hey~ That's wrong!"

"I'm just reminding you all. After all, no one wants to buy fake goods, right?"

"If these two rings are real, I would definitely be interested!"

"But since Mr. Bat can't produce any hard evidence, then you can't blame others for not buying it."

Mr. Bat finally spoke: "Everyone, please be patient. What this friend said makes sense. Why don't you tell me what kind of hard evidence you want?"

"How should I know? I am only raising doubts. You are the one who should produce evidence, right?"

In the darkness, Yuan Suiyun clenched his fists.

If I remember correctly, the person sitting in this seat seems to be Li Tianhao from the Giant Whale Gang?

Remember this!
