One punch calms the storm, no gods in the world

Chapter 64 Underground Auction (4600 words)
Late at night, at Suti's house.

In the room, Suti rubbed a USB drive in his hand and sighed.

Contained inside are all the ancient martial arts secrets collected by Longmen, including the Golden Python Transformation into Dragon Technique.

"My strength is still too weak to participate in the battle between extraordinary people."

The sword that Qin Huan stabbed at him during the day made him deeply aware of this, so Su Ti did not force himself to stay and die with Longmen.

However, it was not Su Ti's wish to flee Nanjiang Province with his family and let Longmen be destroyed.

He wanted to save Longmen, but his strength was too weak. He was like an ant in front of the extraordinary warrior and couldn't even block a sword.

But, if one could obtain enough cursed antiques and push one's martial arts to the highest level, there might be a glimmer of hope.

but
At this time, a large number of dark web pop-up windows popped up on the computer, containing his chat records with various dark web merchants.

Suti glanced at the computer. Cursed antiques are not so easy to obtain. He has been looking for them since he came back during this period, but he has basically screened out all the local buyers of cursed antiques.

Although there are many sellers left, they are not located locally. They are from all over the world and have to travel to other provinces to make transactions. The most important thing is that they don’t know whether the goods are real or not.

Suti was hesitating whether to go there, but he didn't have much time now, and he was afraid that going would be a waste of time and he might encounter fake goods and fake sellers.

This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice. The dark web is a mixed bag of people. Being robbed is a minor offense, but wasting his time is a major offense.

"But whether it's true or not, I'm going to give it a try."

Su Ti took a deep breath and held the USB drive in his hand.

Long Yuanzheng entrusted the future of Longmen to him, and he didn't want to watch Longmen perish.

Just as he was about to screen the sellers, make a schedule, and try them one by one, his cell phone rang.

When I opened it, the caller turned out to be Xu Shouyang.

After meeting her father with the help of Xu Jun last time, Su Ti has been in contact with Xu Shouyang and entrusted him to find the cursed antique. Now that Xu Shouyang called him, Su Ti also had some expectations.

"Hello, Uncle Xu."

"Hey, Xiao Su, there's some progress on the matter of the cursed antique you asked me to pay attention to."

"Where is it? I'll be there right away!"

Hearing this, Su Ti was stunned at first, and then he said happily that he still had the 40 million given to him by Li Zong and was not short of money at all. In addition, the pressure from the Silver Ring Gate was in a stage where they urgently needed to improve their strength. The news from Xu Shouyang really came at a very timely moment.

"Cough cough."

Xu Shouyang coughed violently. He didn't expect Su Ti to be so excited.

"Xiao Su, don't be anxious. Listen to me. This cursed antique is not sold by a local seller, but by an auction outside the city. It was recommended to me by a collector friend of mine."

"That auction was held in Xihui Province, and there were many valuable antiques traded there, but they were done in a gray area, not in the open, but underground."

"I have asked someone to get admission to three auctions. If you are interested, come with us and take a look."

Xu Shouyang said that at this time he thought that Suti was just an ordinary family and was interested in cursed antiques, so he wanted to take the opportunity to take him out to broaden his horizons.

When Su Ti heard that it was in another province and so far away from Xihui, he became a little worried about the time.

But he didn't have any better ideas now. Xu Shouyang's words were at least more reliable than looking for a needle in a haystack on the dark web, so he asked.

"Uncle Xu, will there be many cursed antiques sold at this auction?"

Xu Shouyang affirmed after hearing this.

"Don't worry, this is definitely true. Two of my three cursed antiques were bought by my friend at an auction and then sold to me."

Hearing this, Su Ti felt relieved. The three cursed antiques he had absorbed from Xu Shouyang before were all authentic.

"And this auction is of a very high level. The people who come here are either rich or noble. Especially this time, it is said that a valuable treasure from the Wu Dynasty will be sold, which is also a cursed antique. This has attracted many people."

"A cursed antique from the Wu Dynasty?"

The jade carving of a sword dancer from the Qian Dynasty provided Su Ti with 380% of his energy.

After absorbing so many cursed antiques, Suti also vaguely realized that the older the antiques, the more energy they could provide. At least so far, except for the mysterious red round bead, only the antique from the Qian Dynasty provided him with the most energy.

The Wu Dynasty existed before the Qian Dynasty. According to this idea, the energy provided would be even greater.

Therefore, Suti was interested, and this auction might give him a surprise.

"Uncle Xu, when are we leaving?"

Xu Shouyang said: "The auction will be held the day after tomorrow. We will leave for Xihui Province tomorrow."

"it is good!"

Without much delay, the next morning, Suti packed up his things, told his family that he would be away for a few days for something, and left home.

He first went to Xu Shouyang's home to meet him, and saw Xu Jun, who was carrying a canvas bag, wearing jeans and a white shirt, exuding a youthful air.

"Brother Xu, good morning, what are you doing?"

Su Ti went up to say hello and looked at the bag the other person was carrying in confusion.

"I'm going to the auction with you too. Didn't my dad tell you?"

Xu Jun blinked. She graduated from the history department. After the last incident, she became interested in cursed antiques.

Therefore, when I learned that Xu Shouyang was going to attend the auction, I also wanted to go with him to broaden my horizons.

When she learned that Suti was going with them, she was very happy.

Although she made a mistake in dressing up at home last time, after letting go of her competitive spirit, she often recalled the scene of Su Ti saving her in the alley that day.
Whenever she thought of it, she felt at ease in her heart, and she didn't know whether her gratitude towards Su Ti was between friends or something else. This was too unfamiliar to Xu Jun, who had never been in a relationship.

But no matter what, since Su Ti treats her as a brother, she will also treat Su Ti as a brother with a normal attitude.

"Oh, I said it, I said it."

Yesterday Xu Shouyang said he had obtained admission qualifications for three people, and he didn't ask much. He didn't expect that the third person was Xu Jun.

As soon as these words were spoken, a strange silence suddenly fell between the two.

Xu Jun was so embarrassed that he almost died. Although he had planned to face Su Ti with a normal attitude, he didn't know what to say when they really met.

She secretly looked at Suti and found that his eyes were wandering, and she didn't know what he was thinking.

Looking at the other person more carefully, I found that after not seeing him for nearly a month, his appearance had changed a lot.

He has fair skin and an upright posture, and although his facial features remain the same, he looks much more handsome.

If it was only three points before, it is now at least six points.

This is normal. As the saying goes, a white complexion can hide a hundred imperfections. Modern people face mobile phones and computers all year round, have irregular work and rest schedules, stay up late, smoke, drink, and eat barbecue. Their faces are covered with oil and acne marks, and their pores are large.

Su Ti has now reached the seventh level of internal training. His internal organs are powerful and his metabolic capacity is several times that of ordinary people. Naturally, there is no oil on his face. In addition, his bronze skin skills have reached great perfection, and his skin has become extremely delicate under normal circumstances. Even the acne marks and spots from the past have disappeared.

Coupled with the spirit he gained from practicing martial arts, he naturally looks energetic, sunny, and confident, and he becomes handsome.

Xu Jun looked at the other person secretly, felt his face getting hot, and thought in a strange way.

"Is he secretly watching me too?"

Su Ti thought coldly in his heart at this moment.

"No matter how many cursed antiques there are at this auction, I will take them all. I am even more determined to get the Wu Dynasty antiques. After I absorb all the energy and push my martial arts to the peak, I will come back and kill Li Zong and the Silver Ring Sect!"

The two of them were distracted like this, each with their own ulterior motives, until Xu Shouyang packed up his things and came out of the room.

As soon as he came out, he felt the "ambiguous atmosphere" between the two and coughed.

The two came back to their senses. "Dad."

"Xu Bo."

Xu Shouyang said with some jealousy in his heart.

"You two stop being in a daze. I've already booked the tickets and the time is almost up. Let's go first."

This time, Xu Shouyang chose to travel by high-speed rail instead of taking a plane. One reason was that he was not in a hurry, and the other was that Xu Shouyang was afraid of heights due to his age and could not stand takeoff and landing.

On the high-speed train, the three of them checked their tickets and took their seats. Xu Shouyang was not short of money, so he booked three business class seats, and the three of them sat very close to each other.

"It will take us about eight hours to get there. Xihui Province is a bit far."

Su Ti nodded and stood up to help the two put down their luggage. From Nanjiang to Xihui, it almost spanned half of Xia, so the journey was naturally long.

Along the way, Su Ti was not idle either. He asked Xu Shouyang about this underground auction. Xu Jun had never participated in one before, so he listened with curiosity with wide eyes.

Xu Shouyang rubbed the finger on his hand and spoke.

"Xihui Province has always valued commerce, and there are many underground black markets among the people. The underground auction we are going to attend this time will be held in Wenyang City by the Wenyang Jiang family, and will last for a total of three days."

Having said that, Xu Shouyang warned.

"Xiao Su, I know you practice martial arts, but when you go to the auction, you must abide by the rules and avoid conflicts. The Wenyang Jiang family is a tough guy."

Su Ti hurriedly said no.

He was going to buy things, not to rob, and he still had more than 40 million in his card.

Xu Shouyang nodded. He was just taking precautions. He then told them the history of the Jiang family.

"The Jiang family is the largest black market trading family in Wenyang City, and also the largest underworld family."

"All of their businesses are related to black market transactions, and the most profitable black market transaction is antiques."

"As the saying goes, gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, the antiques that the Jiang family obtained from various channels are auctioned regularly in their underground auction house. It has been held for more than ten years and has accumulated a great reputation. There are also many guests like us who come from other places to participate in the underground auction."

"There are many people with ulterior motives. After all, an antique can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions. Many of them are of unknown origin and have no official endorsement. If you steal one, you won't have to worry about the rest of your life."

"The Jiang family is able to keep the place under control and maintain the reputation and order of the underground auction house for so many years. They must be very capable."

A day passed quickly. After getting off the bus and changing buses, by evening, Su Ti and others had arrived in Wenyang City.

The three of them found a hotel in Wenyang City, booked a room to rest, and waited for another day. On the next day, the underground auction that Suti had been looking forward to for a long time finally began.

The ranking venue is located in the basement of a private building, and entry and exit are based on registered qualifications.

Xu Shouyang had already completed the relevant procedures for the three people, and it was not his first time here, so he seemed familiar with the process.

At the entrance of the venue, there stood a team of security guards in black uniforms. When Su Ti walked past them, he could sense that each of them was a martial artist of the third level of internal training.

The leader among them, a burly man in a suit, was a master in the Hunyuan realm.

When Su Ti passed by him, the two looked at each other deeply, and both saw that the other was extraordinary.

After Suti entered the room, the burly man still looked at his back with flickering eyes.

"Master Wang, how are these members?"

A middle-aged man with his hands behind his back and wearing an ancient robe walked up to the burly man and asked.

"Uncle Jiang."

The burly man, Master Wang, retracted his gaze and whispered.

"There are several masters, one of whom is stronger than me."

"Stronger than you?"

Uncle Jiang was surprised. He was the second in command of the Jiang family, named Jiang Heng, and the person in charge of this underground auction house.

He has known Master Wang for many years and is naturally very clear about his strength. He has practiced internal skills at the sixth level of Hunyuan realm and has also mastered a great success level of external skills. The most important thing is that he is only 35 years old, which is the best fighting time in his life.

The salary he paid to Master Wang alone was tens of millions a year, and he never expected that there was someone who could be better than him.

"Extraordinary level?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Heng's face darkened and he said in a low voice.

He sent Master Wang to guard the door so that he could identify the aura of the members entering and see which strong ones were there.

These members have to undergo a body search before entering and are not armed, so being strong is particularly important.

If a super-human master really gets in, all the security forces inside will be useless.

However, the Jiang family had already prepared for this. This auction was of great importance and extraordinary people were not allowed to participate. If they really found that an extraordinary master was involved in this auction, they would have to use other means to expel him in advance.

Master Wang shook his head when he heard this.

"No, it's the seventh level of internal training, not the extraordinary level."

Jiang Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that he's not at the Transcendent level. There's no need to use any tricks. He's only at the seventh level of internal training. It's not a big problem. You stay here and watch. I'll go in and take a look."

"Yes."

At the same time, outside the venue, there was a group of people watching the situation in the venue.

On the tall building, the wind was rustling. A woman in a black windbreaker was standing there, followed by several characters who looked like her subordinates.

The woman had long black hair and a pretty face. She carried a long wooden box on her back. When her eyes were narrowed, an extremely sharp sword intent burst out, as if she wanted to cut people off.

"Master, the auction is about to start, shouldn't we follow?"

At this moment, a young man behind the woman in windbreaker spoke in a lazy voice.

"This auction has antiques from the Wu Dynasty. It is said that this antique is related to the heritage of the Shenwu Sect. Someone from the Collectors Association has already set his sights on it."

When she heard the words "Collectors Association", a black-haired girl with a scar on her face opened her bloodshot eyes, and the scar on her face twisted violently like a centipede.

"Collectors Association, these wild monsters that bring disaster to the world should all be killed!"

Seeing the ferocious look on the black-haired girl's face, the people around her began to show fear and stepped back.

"Xiaolin, don't be so excited."

The woman in the windbreaker spoke softly, and the black-haired girl Xiaolin still had a ferocious look on her face, so the woman in the windbreaker said lightly.

"I know your whole family died at the hands of demons, but our Category 3 Bureau has its own rules. If you are transferred to my place, you must follow my orders. If you lose control during a mission again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying this, Xiao Lin thought that this was the third time she had changed teams, and the reputation of the person in front of her, so she finally took a deep breath and calmed down.

"Yes, Director Lin."

Lin Qingyao nodded slightly, then turned around and spoke to everyone.

"We have been following the Collectors Association for a long time, and now we have finally caught some clues. We don't want to make any mistakes."

"Since the purpose of this organization is to collect cursed antiques, then the guy we are targeting will definitely not let go of this underground auction, especially since Wu Chao's inheritance token is related to the relics of Shenwu Sect. Who knows how many cursed antiques are hidden in it. It is even more impossible for him to let it go."

"According to the auction order, the most valuable Shenwu Sect inheritance token will be sold last, on the last day of the auction."

"He will definitely take action in three days. We will just wait for the right opportunity and catch him in three days!"

PS: The scheduled message was not sent out, so I sent this one manually. Sorry it’s a bit late.
