"Mr. Li is a distinguished guest invited by Mr. Hou and will not participate in this martial arts competition."

Before Li Taiping could speak, Duan Xiong spoke to Bai Zihua.

"So that's it."

Bai Zihua was suddenly disappointed.

He also thought that if Li Taiping could participate in the martial arts competition, he would have the opportunity to kill Li Taiping in the competition and obtain the Phoenix Gallbladder from Li Taiping.

It seems that I have to find another opportunity later.

"Master Bai, please do as you please. I still need to take Mr. Li in."

"By the way, Master Bai, please move your car away so it's not blocking the entrance to our building."

"The Tiger King might be unhappy when he sees this."

Duan Xiong continued to speak to Bai Zihua.

"I'm sorry, I'm being abrupt. I'll drive away right away."

Bai Zihua's expression changed slightly.

He didn't care much about Duan Xiong, but with his current strength, he was not yet able to be an enemy of the Tiger King.

Just as he was about to move the car, Li Taiping said, "Bai Zihua, do you really want my Phoenix Gallbladder?"

"Ok?"

Bai Zihua narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Taiping sharply, "Li Taiping, why do you say that?"

Li Taiping said calmly, "Have you forgotten? Last time you sent a few thugs to 'get' the Phoenix Gallbladder in my hand."

"Oh, so that's what happened. Sorry, I really forgot about it."

Bai Zihua smiled nonchalantly and said, "I am indeed interested in Phoenix Gallbladder. Li Taiping, how about you name a price?"

"This is a rare treasure from the Nine Provinces, it's priceless. Can you, with just a small Bai family, afford it?"

Li Taiping said without giving Bai Zihua any face.

"you……"

Bai Zihua was angered by Li Taiping's words.

He said coldly, "So what if it's a rare treasure from the Nine Provinces? Besides being a little unusual and suitable for viewing, is there anything else valuable about your Phoenix Gallbladder?"

"You're wrong. Phoenix gallbladder is made from the saliva of the phoenix. Besides being an ornamental object, it can also be used to make elixirs."

"For example, the Heavenly Grade Immortal Nirvana Pill or the Nine Phoenix Pills, both use phoenix saliva as their main ingredient."

"If you don't even know this, how dare you ask for my Phoenix Gallbladder?"

Li Taiping looked directly at Bai Zihua.

"What? Refining elixirs? Li Taiping, have you read too many novels?"

Bai Zihua couldn't help but look at him with disdain. He had heard of miracle doctors, but he had never heard of any miracle doctor who could make elixirs. That was too mysterious.

"You're so ignorant. Forget it, Duan Xiong, let's go in. Also, Bai Zihua, I won't let you hire someone to rob me just like that."

Li Taiping said.

"Come on, come on, I want to see what a mere son-in-law of the Liu family like you can do to me."

Bai Zihua didn't take Li Taiping's words to heart at all. Instead, he mocked and provoked Li Taiping.

"Mr. Li, how did you develop a grudge against Bai Zihua? It's better not to provoke him unless necessary."

As they walked into the building, Duan Xiong couldn't help but say to Li Taiping.

"Why, Duan Xiong, are you afraid of him? That shouldn't be the case. Tiger King is, after all, as famous as Azure Dragon."

Li Taiping asked in confusion.

"The Tiger King naturally wouldn't be afraid of him. Not to mention Bai Zihua, even the Bai family would have to be respectful to the Tiger King."

"However, Bai Zihua is a martial arts trainee at the Yun Province Martial Arts Hall."

"Do you understand this, Mr. Li?"

Duan Xiong said to Li Taiping.

Li Taiping hummed, "I understand, you are afraid of the martial arts hall."

nonsense!

Duan Xiong couldn't help but say something in his heart.

The Yun Province Martial Arts Hall is the training ground for the Southern Theater Command.

No matter how powerful he and Tiger King are, they are just local tyrants in Jiangcheng.

If compared with the Martial Arts Hall or even the Southern Theater Command, it's nothing.

"You're afraid, but I'm not."

Li Taiping said in a flat voice.

Duan Xiong, on the other hand, thought Li Taiping was just joking.

"Mr. Li, you are finally here."

Soon.

Duan Xiong took Li Taiping to a room in the basement of the building.

The room is very large. There is a huge piece of glass in front of you, and outside the glass is a ring, providing an unobstructed view.

Hou Tianliang was waiting in this room.

Li Taiping greeted Hou Tianliang and asked, "I wonder if Tiger King..."

"Tiger King is still in seclusion and should be out soon."

Hou Tianliang said with some concern.

"Retreat?"

Li Taiping raised his eyebrows.

"Yes."

Hou Tianliang nodded and said:

"Recently, Tiger King accidentally learned that Qinglong, who was beside Jiu Ye, had broken through and become a martial arts master."

"In order not to be outdone by Qinglong, he attempted to use an artifact he had acquired in his early years to break through and become a martial arts master."

"Three full days have passed since then."

Li Taiping frowned and said, "Practicing martial arts relies on one's own sweat. Relying on external objects of unknown origin is probably not so safe."

"That's what I said to Tiger King, but he didn't listen!"

Hou Tianliang shook his head and sighed, then called a beautiful maid to serve tea.

At this time, all the participants in the martial arts competition had gathered around the arena.

Since the Tiger King did not show up, Hou Tianliang went down personally and asked everyone to stay calm.

Li Taiping also found a booklet on the table.

I discovered that this booklet was the reward for this martial arts competition.

There are rewards for the top ten.

He took a casual look and showed disdain for the rewards for the last nine.

But when he saw the reward for first place, Li Taiping was stunned.

"Isn't this Moon Soul Grass?"

Li Taiping looked at the unique green herb in the booklet in surprise.

I never thought that such a magical herb would appear in such a place, and be given as a reward.

Or do they just look similar?

Li Taiping frowned. No matter what, since he had encountered it, he had to see it with his own eyes.

So when Hou Tianliang came back up, Li Taiping said to him, "Mr. Hou, I want to join the fighting competition."

"What? Mr. Li, aren't you a treasure appraiser? You also want to participate in the martial arts competition?"

Hou Tianliang thought he had heard it wrong.

"Yes."

Li Taiping nodded affirmatively. Although he bullied children when participating in such fighting competitions, he didn't mind losing a little face for the sake of the Moon Soul Grass.

"But……"

Hou Tianliang was hesitating.

suddenly.

A long, painful howl came from a room deeper in the basement.

"It's the Tiger King! Duan Xiong, follow me."

Hou Tianliang's face changed drastically and he hurriedly asked Duan Xiong to leave the room.

Li Taiping thought about it and followed.

Arriving outside a room with a heavy door, Hou Tianliang said to Duan Xiong, "Duan Xiong, open the door."

"Don't get close yet."

Li Taiping spoke.

But it was too late, Duan Xiong was already close to the gate.

boom!

next moment.

The heavy door was opened by a huge brute force, and Duan Xiong was slammed against the wall with the door, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

immediately.

A dark and strong man with a sturdy build, like a tiger coming down the mountain, walked out of the room.

His eyes were red and he looked unconscious, roaring like a wild beast.

"Tiger King."

Hou Tianliang cried out.

However, the next moment, the Tiger King punched Hou Tianliang's head.
