Twenty-Nine, Various Schools' Masterpieces of Spear Techniques (Part 1, Third Update)

  As they walked, Xi Zilan briefly told Qin Yu about the ins and outs of Shen Nong's auction.

  Xie Zilan briefly explained what the singing auction was, which is similar to the auction of later generations. As for the two characters "Shennong", they only indicate that this year's event will be held in Shennong Valley, and next time it will be changed to Taishan East Road and renamed as Taishan Singing Auction.

  The Singing Sales Meeting is hosted by a family named Huoshai Shi Jia, held once every ten years. No one has ever counted how many sessions have been held, but it is known that every time in the ninth year, news of the Singing Sales Meeting will quietly spread, and a clear venue for the event will be determined. Then at least ten powerful forces from the local area will actively or passively get involved, becoming co-organizers.

  This collaboration is also one of the important reasons why the concert has been thriving and stable since its opening, without encountering major troubles.

  Secondly, every time a singing sale is held, there will be extremely valuable treasures unearthed, which can guarantee that many powerful customers will visit.

  Treasures are not only reflected in quality, but also in quantity on the basis of guaranteeing quality.

  For example, this year's Tang Nan Zhu mentioned the five treasures, which is his vision choice. In fact, there are at least ten more items on the same level as these five treasures.

  Merchants of the world will basically provide a treasure album with ten extremely special first-class treasures, thirty second-class treasures, and fifty third-class treasures. The rest are not worth mentioning.

  In fact, even those that are not of high quality have a lot of auction value.

  Xie Zilan glanced at Hei Gun's black stick: "This black stick of yours, I reckon it's just a mediocre piece."

  Tan Yun listened, and couldn't help but feel a strong sense of admiration. Although the Black Wind Gun was a self-made product, Tan Yun still cherished his first treasured gun very much, and didn't think it was inferior to the world-famous treasures like the Eight Trigrams Snake Spear or the Bright Silver Coiling Dragon Gun; each had its own unique characteristics!

  Who would have thought that such a level could only be considered as not even up to standard!

  He had heard from Tang Nannan that there would be five treasures appearing at the auction, each one was extremely rare and absolutely unique.

  But he didn't think that with his current abilities, he could get one of them, so hearing some gossip was just a passing matter.

  "Xiao Lan, what other treasures are there?" Qin Yu couldn't help but ask.

  Xie Zilan smiled: "You have a Ba Bao Tu yourself, why don't you go take a look?"

  "Really?" Qian Yu was surprised, "No... Oh, you mean the album that An Shi left behind is... the Baibao Map provided by Huo Shijia?" He reached into his sleeve and pulled out the silk book, but with one arm still around Xi Zhi Lan, he didn't want to let go of her hand. He glanced at it casually for a few moments before putting it back in his sleeve.

  "Yes! I've seen it at my brother's place, exactly the same. It seems that this bank also has some ideas."

  "Does he have that much money just because he has ideas?" Qin Yu glanced at him, and the shore was also a poor ghost. Except for the pair of bronze mirrors, which had some value, the gold and copper coins added up to less than twenty strings, which could only make this kind of poor person feel full for a moment.

  "This auction, although ultimately is to see the wealth of it, but some absolute goods, are not something that can be bought with just money. Unequal value transactions are common things." Xī Zhīlán said, "Also, looking at the mark on this brand's label, it seems there are also consigned items, a kind of two-way transaction token, when the time comes you can take this label to investigate what treasures are being stored in the warehouse waiting for trading."

  "Oh, I see." Qian Yun rubbed the bamboo slip, smooth and cool, "Xiao Lan, do you have a green bamboo slip?"

  Xie Zilan shook her head.

  "That's for you to take care of now."

  Xie Zilan turned back and glanced at him: "You gave it to me, what about you?"

  Tan Yongdao said: "I'll go get another piece. Old man Shi's place probably has better ones."

  Xie Zilan said: "I don't want your things."

  "Qin Yu was taken aback: 'Why? Are you afraid that a dead man's belongings are unlucky?'"

  "No." Xie Zilan shook her head heavily, "My brother is going in to exchange something, and I don't need it anyway."

  "How could it be useless? Good horse, precious clothes, sharp blade, aren't those all necessities? Alright, I'll go in and get you a piece of protective clothing. Coincidentally, there's one here that's suitable for a girl to wear, the Cloud Brocade Robe. It's as thin as silk, but as large as a fist, and when worn, it can withstand a full-force blow from a strong opponent at the peak of the Dark Boundary layer. Good stuff, I think it suits you well." Qian Yu held her small waist with her left hand, while flipping through the catalog with her right hand.

  "No, no!" Xi Zilan smiled slightly and shook her head, feeling exceptionally sweet in her heart.

  Tan Yun felt a bit disheartened, thinking to himself: "It's true, I'm just a poor devil. Although I have the precious treasure of the Heavenly Master's Tao, things like the Jade Sword Heart Scripture and the Heavenly Master's Law Sword are all being kept hidden by my master and mother, telling me to keep them secret and only use them myself. If I were to take them out, I'd immediately be pursued by many powerful forces! As for other things, the black leather jacket and black rifle I made myself, their quality is slightly inferior too. No wonder the little girl can only refuse me, she must know that I don't have anything worth trading."

  How about thinking of a way to get some valuable items with exchange value?

  In his mind, a precious treasure of exchange value was rapidly spinning...

  Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and in the sea of consciousness, a thin book appeared. The book was white, with six huge golden characters on the cover: "The Finest Gun Techniques of All Families".

  Tan Yun was startled, what is this?

  It can be confirmed that before this, I didn't have any memories of this aspect, and it was hidden in the deep sea of my brain, a newly developed product.

  His heart was both shocked and delighted, now he's already gotten used to such sudden jumping memories, following these few big words, in his mind he gave a command to turn the page.

  Page one.

  The Four Great Gun Schools of the Northern Region. For two hundred years, in the northern martial arts world, four schools skilled in spear techniques have risen and fallen one after another, their fame spreading to Guanzhong. They are: Ci Bei Men, Lian Hua Men, Liu Yang Men, and Qi Xing Men. Each of these four schools has produced more than one enlightened master, so they can all be called top-notch schools, with main techniques that are among the best in the world. Later, due to various reasons, the four schools declined one after another, their members dwindling, and their wonderful techniques lost forever.

  Just after finishing reading, without even having time to carefully savor it, my mind automatically turned the page.

  Page two.

  Ci Bei Gun. Ci Bei Men's top-notch gun technique, named Ci Bei, one shot to sever the soul! It was a famous horseback riding gun technique that shook the northern country during the Guangwu Emperor period. The famous general Liu Zhi, who excelled in this technique, rode freely on the battlefield, and there were no generals under his gun. With this gun technique, he was granted the title of Changcheng Hou and became one of the 28 generals of the Yun Tai. After General Liu Zhi's unexpected death in battle during the mid-term of the Zhongxing War, Ci Bei Men lost its powerful backing and declined rapidly.
