"Better news?" Teng Qing Shan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Sixth Elder, let's go sit over there and talk!"

  On the shores of Crescent Moon Lake, four intricately carved wooden chairs were arranged around a smooth stone table. On the table was placed a wine jug. Teng Qing Shan and Sixth Elder sat facing each other.

  Putting the reincarnation gun aside, Teng Qing Shan smiled at Sixth Elder: "I thought Sixth Elder was here to deliver the 'Opening Mountain 36 Styles' secret manual. But you said there's even better news! I couldn't guess... Could it be that Xu Ri Merchant House found out about the thirty-six stone carvings?"

  "Of course not."

  The six elders smiled, "However, it's not far off!"

  "Oh?" Teng Qing Shan looked at the other party in surprise, and also poured a cup of wine for himself and Sixth Elder. "Sixth Elder, please speak directly, don't play dumb with me."

  "It was just last night!"

  The six elders laughed and said, "In our Nanshan City, another business house 'Situ Business House' has officially sent out news to various big families. They said that their business house had just received a deal, a group of noble guests would entrust them with a complete set of stone boards with the "_Kai Shan Thirty-six Forms" printed on them, and let Situ Business House auction them off! The date for the auction has been set, it's on August 16th! There is still almost a month from now."

  "Will it sell? The stone slab of 'Kai Shan Thirty-six Styles'?" Teng Qing Mountain was somewhat surprised, "Sixth Elder, you'd better not be mistaken, that is indeed one of the nine sets of bald iron stone slabs from the original Divine Axe Mountain."

  "Sze-to So-hong has carefully examined it and confirmed that it is one of the nine suites!"

  The six elders were convinced, "That's why we invited many experts in antiquities to appraise it. The bald cypress stone slab was indeed stored for several thousand years. Moreover, we also asked the strong martial saint to judge. The carvings and characters on the bald cypress stone slab have a powerful aura."

  Nine sets of rubbings from ancient stone inscriptions, which were taken from the original 36 stone carvings, are identical in every aspect, including the strokes and size, naturally producing a unique aura.

  "Although this set of bald stone slabs is definitely not as valuable as the 36 stone carvings, it's probably not even worth a single stone carving. However... now that the weather is bad and the 36 stone carvings can't be found, this set of bald stone slabs will definitely attract many families to fight for it! The Sixth Elder looked at Teng Qing Shan, "Having this set of stone slabs is after all beneficial to the family's children. So... when the time comes to 'sell' it, the price offered may be very high!"

  Teng Qing Shan felt an itch in his heart.

  A set of bald stone slabs, with Teng Qing's understanding on the 'way', I believe can also come up with some insights.

  "Six Elders, what's your estimate of the price for this set of stone tablets?" asked Teng Qing Shan.

  "As far as I know, the bottom price of this Shu's business notification is 30,000 taels of gold!" The Sixth Elder shook his head solemnly and said, "However, this is just the bottom price! At present, various families are competing with each other, and at the same time, they also attach great importance to the education of their descendants. This set of bald stone slates must be wanted by many families."

  "I estimate - at least one hundred thousand taels of gold!"

  "If both parties were to engage in a heated bidding war, or rather, if two rival families were to go head-to-head, the price might just skyrocket even further! In that case, it's really impossible to predict what kind of price it would be." The Sixth Elder sighed, "In any case, this set of bald cypress stone will definitely be the most expensive treasure in recent times."

  Hong Qingshan's heart was heavy with anxiety.

  According to the six elders, when the time comes, the price may rise to tens of thousands of taels of gold, which is very likely! These tens of thousands of taels of gold, for some small families, such as the already extinct Black Iron River Liu family, would almost have to empty their family's assets. However, for some large families that rule over hundreds of millions or even billions of people...

  Tens of millions of taels of gold, although a large number, is not unbearable!

  A set of bald-headed stone slabs is enough to make some strong axe-wielders appear in the family's later generations.

  "Alas!" The Sixth Elder shook his head and said, "If this set of bald stone slabs were to be sold to our Xuyang Merchant House, we could have helped Mr. However, it's a pity that they are to be sold to the Situ Merchant House instead!"

  Akira said Shoko, although it is the largest commercial firm in the world!

  But there are some weaker ones that can still compete with it. This is one of them - the Situ Merchant House!

  "Is the master also thinking of going to attend the meeting?" asked Liu Zhanglao.

  Will sell one word, which is an auction.

  "Hmm." Teng Qing Shan nodded.

  "Is the master worried about not having enough money?" asked Liu Zhang.

  "This is a large sum of money." Teng Qing Shan was indeed somewhat worried.

  The six elders furrowed their brows, but still said: "Sir... like this, you go to the auction. Sir probably has some gold too! Our Xuriang Merchant House can lend sir 120,000 taels of gold. In Nanshan City, our merchant house can provide at most that much gold; if it's more, I won't be able to do anything about it. After sir borrows it, there's no need to hurry and return it either. Wait until whenever you have spare money, and returning it then won't be late."

  For a large business, wealth is certainly stunning.

  In the first large city of Kanan Mountain City, the business district can only accommodate so many, any more would affect the operation of the business district.

  "Six Elders, if it really comes down to it, I, Teng Qing Shan, will definitely return it quickly."

  "Our business, don't you think we would still distrust Mr.?" Sixth Elder laughed and said.

  Some ordinary people work hard all year round to earn tens of taels of silver, while Teng Qing Shan, a congenital peak expert, is worth 1.2 million taels of gold just by his identity alone.

  "August 16th!" Teng Qing Shan silently memorized this number.

  ******

  After the six elders left, Teng Qing Shan set off alone towards the southern coast of Duanmu Continent that evening, displaying an astonishing speed. Although the place where he had buried the Wuyue Boat was nearly two thousand miles away from Nan Shan City, Teng Qing Shan's solo sprinting speed was faster than even the three great dragon horses!

  No wonder, Teng Qing Shan's physical strength now exceeds 800,000 jin, comparable to that of a pre-heavenly golden dan level demonic beast!

  His speed is faster than that of a black whirlwind horse, which is only natural.

  Hei Anma said that he could travel five thousand miles, Teng Qing Mountain was originally in the middle of the ocean, in the terrible "Chaotic Sea Area". Teng Qing Mountain towed a large sea boat, and in one day and night, it swam over two or three thousand miles, towing the sea boat out of the chaotic sea area. In the sea, towing a sea boat can be so fast.

  Running on land, as you can imagine!

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  On the official road, pedestrians only felt a gust of wind blowing by, and Teng Qing Shan had already gone 70 or 80 meters away. With another flash of movement, he disappeared from view.

  ……

  Dark night, hazy moonlight and starlight cast a veil of mystery on the sandy beach.

  "Whoosh~~" The seawater crashed against the shore.

  Hong Qing Shan is in a large pit of sand and stone.

  "Hey!" Teng Qing Shan pulled out the second box from the sandstone pit and quickly buried the entire pit with a large amount of sandstone, then made some fake camouflage to make it hard to notice.

  "Adding these two sides of gold, there are also 32 million taels of gold! I believe it should be enough to buy that set of bald stone slabs. If not, the Xuriang Commercial House still has 12 million taels of gold!" Teng Qing Shan was quite indifferent to wealth.

  Money is a necessity, but... earning it with such ease is too cheap.

  Go directly to some infamous families or gangs and just rob them!

  "Go!" with a large trunk slung over one shoulder.

  Teng Qing Shan carried over 20,000 jin of heavy objects and immediately sprinted away from the sandy beach. Even someone as strong as Teng Qing Shan couldn't run as fast with more than 20,000 jin on his back as he did when he came here!

  Of course, even if running slowly, it is still faster than ordinary war horses.

  Before dawn on the second day, Teng Qing Shan carried two large boxes of gold back to the outside of Nan Shan City, under the divine axe mountain and by the side of Moon Tooth Lake.

  "Pong!" "Pong!" Two large trunks were placed on the grass, and Teng Qing Shan let out a sigh of relief.

  "Teacher!" A shrill voice came from the lakeside, and the Tianwu beast, who was practicing the Three-Body Style, looked at Tian Qing with respect. Although he had only been learning from Tian Qing for two or three days, Tian Qing couldn't help but admit... this Tianwu beast was absolutely a genius when it came to learning forms!

  Perhaps... before learning Xingyiquan, Teng Hu had already understood the true meaning of Xingyiquan.

  Teng Qing Shan can master the Xing Yi Twelve Shapes with just one practice, and Teng Beast only needs to learn for half an hour to reach the pinnacle of achievement in the Xing Yi Twelve Shapes.

  "Brother Teng is back." Li Kun walked out.

  "Hmm." Teng Qing Shan smiled and nodded, pointing at the two boxes and instructing, "A Shou, move these two boxes into the house!" He pointed towards the interior of the house.

  Teng Qing Shan's words, Teng Beast didn't understand. But Teng Qing Shan's gestures, he understood.

  "Yes, teacher."

  Teng beast's left arm exerted force and lifted one, right arm exerted force and also lifted a box. Every step left deep footprints on the ground. After moving the two boxes of gold from outside to inside the stone house, Teng beast had exhausted a lot of energy. When he came out of the house, Teng beast looked at Teng Qing with even more respect in his eyes.

  How far can the monster swim?

  Teng Qing Shan galloped for two to three thousand miles!

  "Continue practicing your fist." Teng Qing Shan shouted, and Teng Beast obediently went to practice his fist.

  Hong Qingshan changed into a clean outfit after washing off the dirt and dust from his clothes, then went out for a morning exercise.

  ……

  Teng Qing Shan, Li Kun, Teng Shou, Xiao Ping, and Old Wang were sitting around the table eating breakfast. The morning was crisp and cold, with mist surrounding them, making Moon Tooth Lake seem like a paradise.

  "Mr. Teng." A familiar shout came from afar.

  Hong Qing Shan turned his head to look, and the six silver-haired elders came over with a group of subordinates, smiling. "Last night at midnight, this 'Opening Mountain Thirty-six Styles' was just delivered, and early in the morning, I sent it to the master." As he spoke, he took out the book wrapped in golden cloth from his bosom and handed it over.

  "Really thanks to Sixth Elder." Teng Qing Shan stood up, smiling as he accepted and opened the package wrapped in golden cloth.

  A thin book with a black leather cover appeared in front of Tun Qing Shan, with six large characters written on it - "Kai Shan San Shi Liu Shi"!
