The First Saint of Dan Dao

After taking the things handed over by several people, Tang Yan squatted on the ground and began to feel around Sanhu and Zhao Heng.

Sure enough, Sanhu still had a storage space on him, and Zhao Heng also had some valuables on him, including pills, silver, and martial arts...

When they saw Tang Yan's skillful body search, a hint of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes.

Could it be that this new guy was also a robber in the past? His skills are really perfect!

"I advise you not to play tricks. I will search you later. Whoever has extra things on him will end up like these two." Tang Yan "admonished".

Hearing Tang Yan's threat, several people couldn't help but shudder, and everyone took out some things from their pockets.

"That's more like it." Tang Yan put away all his things with a smile and walked away in a leisurely manner.

The minds of Sanhu and his group were blank.

After robbing in Mingcheng for so many years, this time I actually got robbed!

"I've been in Mingcheng for decades and have seen a lot of strange things. Today I've opened my eyes again." The thin old man at the food stall sighed.

Following Tang Yan's commotion, the people at the city gate were all talking about what had just happened.

Tang Yan didn't care about the discussions of the people behind him. He walked around Mingcheng for the whole morning. Along the way, many people were discussing tomorrow's auction.

I found a restaurant in the city and was immediately greeted by a waiter.

"Sir, would you like to have a meal or stay overnight?"

"Come to the upper room."

"Okay, sir, follow me--" the waiter greeted enthusiastically.

After bringing Tang Yan to the room, the waiter was about to go back when he was grabbed by Tang Yan: "Hey, buddy, I need to ask you something."

When the waiter saw the ingot of silver, he smiled even more: "Sir, I can see that this is your first time in Mingcheng. If you have anything to ask, please feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know."

"How are the forces in Mingcheng divided?" Tang Yan asked.

"The division of power in our Ming City is complicated." The waiter pondered for a moment before sorting out the clues:

"There is no force that can absolutely control Mingcheng, but there are several big families that firmly occupy the position of Mingcheng. The Chu family, the Qiu family, and the Yun family are the three most powerful families.

Among them, the Yun family is the strongest, but the Chu family and the Qiu family are closely connected, so although the Yun family is strong, it can't do anything to the Chu and Qiu families.

Then there is the Gold Rush Auction House, which has a very strong background. Although it has not developed much influence in Mingcheng, it is best not to be provoked easily.

There is also a place to post tasks, called the Life and Death List.

It is responsible for undertaking and issuing various tasks. Although there is no specific force, I heard that the Sanhua Society and the Jungle Killer are more or less related to it.

Then there are the secondary forces, such as the Han family, the Xue family, and the Chen family..."

After hearing the waiter's detailed introduction, Tang Yan had a general understanding of Mingcheng's power.

"How many heavenly-level masters does the Chu family have?" Tang Yan suddenly asked.

"This..." The waiter looked embarrassed, as if he had something to hide.

"Be that as it may, no one else will know about this except me. I got the information from you." Tang Yan handed over another ingot of silver.

When the waiter saw the large ingot of silver, his eyes lit up and he swallowed his saliva before saying, "Sir, the power of that big family is something that we ordinary people cannot tell the real from the fake.

I only heard that the Chu family has three, the Qiu family has two, and the Yun family has four. It is hard to guarantee whether the younger ones are reliable or not."

Seeing the waiter's cautious look, Tang Yan knew that this was not something he could get involved in. He put the silver in the waiter's hands and asked the last question: "Can everyone enter the auction tomorrow night?"

The waiter's answer also put Tang Yan at ease.

"Some families in Mingcheng have fixed positions. If others want to go in, they need to bring one million taels of silver with them. As long as you have money, you can go in." said the waiter.

"Okay, thank you." After asking all the questions he needed to ask, Tang Yan waved his hand and sent the waiter away.

He untied the package on his back and saw the little ball-like thing was still sleeping soundly.

Ignoring the little guy, Tang Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, took a pill of explosive spirit, and began to practice.

When Tang Yan opened his eyes again, it was already noon the next day, and the auction was about to begin.

He called a carriage and headed straight to the auction house, and arrived at the location in a short while.

"Little brother, do you have an invitation?" As soon as he arrived at the door of the Gold Rush Auction House, he was stopped by two guards.

"No, is this okay?" A stack of silver bills flashed across Tang Yan's hand.

The two guards' expressions changed. The thick bundle of silver notes worth ten thousand taels each really scared them.

Anyone who can come up with so much money at once must be of high status.

Although Tang Yan looked unfamiliar, the auction house only cared about money. They gave him a number and let him in.

Take the sign in your hand, enter the hall, find the corresponding seat and sit down.

Looking around, there were about 800 people in the hall. There was an auction table to the north, and in front of the auction table were the seats of several major families in Ming City.

A little after noon, a quick bell rang, and the originally noisy hall gradually became quiet.

An energetic old man came out with a smile on his face, clasped his fists towards everyone, and said loudly: "Dear friends, welcome to the auction of the Gold Rush Auction House. I am the auctioneer of this auction - Wen Chen.

The auction rules are still the same as before, all items go to the highest bidder.

Fighting is not allowed in the auction. Once violated, the bidder will be permanently disqualified.

Without further ado, the real treasures will be revealed. I declare this auction open!"

Soon, a hot beauty came onto the stage holding a tray.

"The first item of this auction is a Xuan-level top-grade auxiliary boxing method, the grappling boxing."

"Auxiliary boxing?" Hearing this term, Tang Yan couldn't help but feel curious about what this thing was.

“After appraisal, this technique is extremely domineering, with exquisite moves. When practiced to perfection, it often has unexpected effects during combat. It can multiply a person’s combat effectiveness and can even be used as a decisive means to turn defeat into victory.

The base price is 50,000 taels of silver, and each bid must not be less than 1,000 taels."

As soon as Wen Chen finished speaking, the sound of price increases could be heard.

"One hundred and ten thousand taels of silver!"

"One hundred and fifteen thousand!"

"One hundred and seventy thousand!"

"..."

"Four hundred and seventy thousand taels of silver."

"Half a million!"

As time went by, the auction price became higher and higher, and later on, the number of people bidding decreased significantly.

Tang Yan looked at the scroll and his heart moved.

This grappling fist sounds really good, but anyone who knows a little about martial arts knows that this kind of fighting technique is very difficult to practice and takes a lot of time to practice.

With all these skills, it would be better to learn an earth-level martial art.

So when the bid reached 560,000 taels of silver, the bidding gradually died down.

"Five hundred and seventy thousand taels!" a deep voice came.

Tang Yan looked in the direction of the quotation, and when he saw that it was the Qiu family's quotation, a barely perceptible sneer appeared on his face.

The Qiu family and the Chu family have a special relationship.

Since the Qiu family wants it, this young master suddenly becomes interested in this set of skills.
