Thirty-Eight Strategies (Part 2)

  Xu Deng's chubby face trembled slightly as he said, "Brother Zhao..."

  Zhao Song waved his hand, and Sima Yin took out another identical jade bottle from her bosom.

  "These ten grains were what I left at Shen Nong's singing and selling meeting."

  Zhao Song handed over two jade bottles and casually threw them at Xu Deng.

  Xu Deng grasped it tightly and exclaimed with great joy: "Thank you, Brother Zhao! I dare to ask, what precious object do these ten medicinal pills need to be exchanged for?"

  Zhao Song said: "I want to exchange for a set of shooting techniques."

  "What kind of marksmanship?" Since you know I'm from Zhao's family in Zhending, I suppose you've seen all 99 types of marksmanship under the sky, and even studied them?

  "I've never seen such marksmanship." Zhao Song made a clear distinction, and indeed it was an extremely difficult requirement.

  Xu Deng nodded without hesitation: "It must be as Brother Zhao wishes!" His meaning was that this bottle of Cold Ice Snow Ginseng Pill would definitely be sold to the Shi family, no matter the cost.

  This is not just an elixir, but also a favor from Huang Qianguang.

  Zhang Jin's face showed a bitter smile, and he said, "It seems that I can only suffer heavy losses now."

  He reached into his sleeve and rummaged around for a few moments before pulling out a notebook, which he tossed to Xu Deng.

  "This old man's Reversal Four Images Step can probably roughly match Zhao Xian's one bottle of Spiritual Medicine, and I'll use it as the stake for this gamble."

  The crowd let out another cry of surprise.

  Above the dark boundary, except for a few young people like Liu Pan and Qin Yu who have just been promoted to the initial stage, most of them are famous families who have accumulated many years and have seen a lot. Of course, they know that this "Reversal Four Images Step" is Zhang Jin's signature move when he became famous in the past.

  Xu Deng took a glance and found that it was actually bound with high-quality Zuo Bo paper, but looked a bit simple. It's probably Zhang Jin who wrote it temporarily for this transaction.

  At the end of Han Dynasty, a group of famous papermakers emerged, among whom Zuo Bo was the most prominent. The paper he made was called "Zuo Bo Paper", which was a well-known paper at that time.

  Zhao Song was taken aback: "Rarely, Zhang Erge, you actually took out the inverted Four Symbols Step?"

  Zhang Jin said lightly: "It was just a little reliance in the early years, and now it's naturally useless."

  Xie Zilan asked: "Master, who do you think will win?"

  Zhang Jin furrowed his brow, thinking to himself: "What I think is good isn't necessarily what you think is good..." He didn't dare say this out loud, so he changed the subject and said, "Your Uncle Zhao made the first move, I'm just following him in our bet, of course I have to listen to him."

  Xie Zilan hurriedly went to see Zhao Song.

  Zhao Song said: "I'll just bet on Qian Yun."

  Xie Zilan's face suddenly showed a smile, and she clapped her hands in delight, calling out "well done".

  Looking at her silly and pure smile, Sima Yin couldn't help but say: "Miss, actually it doesn't matter whether my master or Mr. Zhang wins."

  In the end, it still depends on Qin Yu and Liu Pan's individual strength. All bets will go to the winner of the fight, Zhao Song and Zhang Jin won't get a single cent. This is the downside of malicious betting.

  The two sides are fighting for nothing but a breath of air.

  Whether you bet or not, it's all just a drizzle. My eyesight is better than yours, so I can look down on you for ten thousand years!

  My mind is satisfied, that's enough!

  Xie Zilan shook her head and said, "It's different, it means Uncle Zhao thinks highly of Qin Yu!"

  "Ah?" said Sima.

  Zhang Jin let out a sigh and said, "In that case, I'll bet on Liu Pan's nephew."

  Xu Deng asked again in a smooth tone, and the onlookers placed their bets. However, except for Shi Huang's twenty votes, everyone else had bet on Liu Pan.

  Wang Yue thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Brother Xu, can you change your note?"

  Xu Deng burst out laughing: "Of course, of course, everything is fine!"

  Although Zhang Jin refused to store his valuables at the auction, with Zhao Song's bottle of spiritual medicine, this auction would have at least one more powerful guarantee, and Xu Deng was in a very good mood at this moment.

  Wang Yue glanced at Huang Zhong and then turned to ask Xu Deng.

  "Xu brother, how about we make a bet?"

  Xu Deng nodded: "Alright, Brother Wang, place your bet."

  Wang Yue took out a scroll from his bosom: "This is the former Divine Ascension Sect's ultimate technique, 'Divine Ascension Seven Absolute Sword'. Brother Xu, please temporarily help me keep it safe. Later, we'll give it to the winning side."

  "Shen Xiao Sect!" Xu Deng's hand trembled as he took the silk book, and the other powerful warriors looked at each other, momentarily stunned into silence.

  Twenty years ago, Shen Xiao Sect was still a gathering place for top-notch experts, and it was prosperous for a time. However, because Wang Yue made a big name for himself in the capital with his "Divine Sword", these blind and brain-damaged guys were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred, their resentment value accumulated too much, and without saying a word, they launched an attack on the Purple Thunder Sword Sect.

  At that time, Wang Yue, who was only in his thirties, single-handedly killed the seven "Thunder Protectors" of Shenxiangmen with his sword. Many elite disciples of Shenxiangzong were killed or injured in this battle. Immediately afterwards, Zidian Sword Gate launched a swift counterattack, and under Wang Yue's leadership, they took advantage of Shenxiangzong's weakness to annihilate hundreds of its inner and outer door disciples, including the current master of Huajingzong, who was defeated and forced to commit suicide.

  Wang Yue's one mouth of divine sword, under the prestige of Dingding, is the endless dripping blood tears of Shen Xiao Sect!

  Although Shen Xiao Sect was almost destroyed by Wang Yue alone, this volume of sword scripture did not become any less precious because of that.

  Every generation of Shenxiu Sect has a master of the Hua Jing realm sitting in town, which is a must-have for the sect. Among them, there are naturally hidden unique heart methods that can be cultivated to the Hua Jing realm.

  Huang Zhong narrowed his eyes, he had the top inheritance of his own sect, and didn't covet the Xianxiao Sect's Jinxin Heart Method, but facing such a treasure, for a moment, he really couldn't think of what equivalent stake he could put up.

  No wonder Wang Yue took a look at himself and went to make a bet with Xu Deng instead.

  Xu Deng's face turned serious, he scratched his ears and cheeks, thought for a long time, and said with difficulty: "Before I went up the mountain, although I brought some precious and rare goods, there was nothing that could match this item. In this case, can you agree to three of mine for one of yours, Brother Wang?"

  Without waiting for Wang Yue to speak, he turned his head and gave a few orders. Immediately, three servants stepped forward from beside him, holding up the trays in their hands.

  A redwood tray, covered with a thin layer of red silk, looks exceptionally festive.

  Zhang Jin snorted and muttered under his breath: "Pretentious nonsense!"

  The tall and short attendants walked past, the short attendant lifted up the red cloth, and the tall attendant loudly hawked his wares:

  "Autumn water short sword, the sword is two feet three inches long, can cut gold and break jade."

  "A grade of fragrant osmanthus, a bundle, twelve roots, can refresh mind and brighten eyes."

  "Three eagle eggs are about to hatch and can be domesticated into fierce birds."

  Every time he said something, everyone would exclaim in unison.

  Apart from Wang, Huang, Zhao, Zhang and Shi, the five top-notch dark boundary masters, the other six or seven people who were invited to this peak are also first-rate dark boundary masters and are among the best in their field.

  What can make them all gasp in amazement are naturally extremely precious treasures.

  Wang Yue smiled: "Is Tianxia Xiang just a local product?"

  Xu Deng bitterly smiled: "The Heaven-grade ambrosia can only be exchanged at the meeting tomorrow, I don't have a way to take it out privately."

  "Alright, let's just leave it at that and not delay them."

  Xu Deng looked around and nodded: "Hehe, two brothers, I've kept you waiting for a long time!"
