Gaowu invasion, I can see the future

8: Ancient martial arts family, the opportunity of antique street!After the people from the Investigation Bureau left, Bai Yu looked at the group chat he had joined, which had about two hundred people.

They were discussing last night’s car accident.

”That Merman is hiding in the Qingyun River, making me afraid to go near the riverbank.”

”I don’t even dare to go fishing today.”

”Even if you fish, it’ll be a blank, nothing to lose.”

”You can try, maybe you’ll hook the monster.”

”Try and you’ll die.”

Seeing these group members chatting, Bai Yu thought to himself: The people in the group are quite open-minded, huh?

He felt he should observe a bit more to see if he could get any useful information from the group.

”For now, let’s go out and complete the running task. Exchange for the information about the Wordless Heavenly Book!”

Noon.

Inside the house, bathroom.

A basin of water was poured down.

”Splash!”

”Refreshing!”

His takeout also arrived.

He ordered a grilled fish feast as a reward for his exercise these past few days.

He looked at the latest intelligence.

[Personal File

Registration Time: January 14, 2048

Name: Lei Tao

Family: Lei Family (Ancient Martial Arts Family)

Realm: Fourth Realm - Linghai Realm (Ancient God Cultivator)

Personal Experience:

In 2037, in Tianhai City’s Yunhu Antique Street, he unexpectedly purchased a Wordless Heavenly Book. Lei Tao felt that this book had some mysterious connection with him, but he did not perceive the power contained within the book.

Later, he accidentally used fire to burn it and found that the writing disappeared. After complete incineration, he obtained three golden pages.

From these, Lei Tao comprehended powerful Ancient God Arts such as ”Palm Thunder,” ”Sky Thunder Guide,” ”Five Thunder Arts,” and ”Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldier,” and officially became an Ancient God Cultivator.

Later, after professional testing, the power of the Wordless Heavenly Book was found to come from the Ancient God of the Celestial Master Dao - Zhang Jiao.

According to the compatibility analysis, although the Ancient Martial Arts Family Lei Tao belonged to had lightning-based immortal cultivation methods, his compatibility with Zhang Jiao was only 57%.

Family Events:

The high-level members of the Lei Family were controlled by a Blood Demon at some point, and further investigation revealed that the research institute under the Lei Family colluded with the Ancestral God of Blood, secretly creating forbidden items such as flesh-and-blood Fusion monsters, attempting to obtain eternal life from Odd Gods.

After the matter was exposed, the Lei Family and members of the Investigation Bureau engaged in fierce combat, resulting in the deaths of many Family members, while a few members, including Lei Tao, fled Tianhai City.

Key Information: Wordless Heavenly Book.jpg]

Seeing the personal file, Bai Yu was momentarily stunned, thinking it wasn’t information that could help him become extraordinary.

But after reading it...

”Tianhai City’s Yunhu Antique Street!”

”Indeed! After reading the thesis on Sequence Promotion Items, I knew something like this would happen. Spiritual Qi resurgence, antique treasure hunting.”

”Damn it, when I have money, I’ll buy the entire Antique Street.”

And this intelligence clearly had more than just this one key point.

There was also information about the Lei Family, this Ancient Martial Arts Family, and their secret evil experiments, betraying the Human Race!

”Oh, and the Fourth Realm - Linghai Realm, that’s also a piece of information.”

”Ancient God Art, Zhang Jiao, compatibility, and so on, can all be considered.”

He quickly grabbed a pen and jotted down this information in his small notebook.

After writing, he felt hungry and wanted to eat grilled fish.

His mind was still on the antique market, he couldn’t sit still, so he could only eat faster.

Yun Lake was a bit far.

After eating, he took a half-hour car ride and arrived.

It was built by the lake, and despite the high sun, the air was not scorching due to the lake’s regulation.

The Tianhai City Meteorological Bureau was built here, ensuring that the temperature in Tianhai City’s weather forecasts never exceeded forty degrees!

When Bai Yu got out of the car, many people were sitting on wooden chairs on the roadside slope, enjoying the cool.

They either chatted or sat quietly, enjoying the breeze and coolness by the lake.

Without delay, he entered the Antique Street.

There were many formal shops here, and also many stalls.

The most crucial information Bai Yu received was a photo of the Wordless Heavenly Book.

It was a book like the martial arts Secret Manuals in movies, with no writing on its cover.

”Hard to find...”

”And at this time, I don’t know if I can find this book.”

He was afraid of coming with high hopes and returning empty-handed.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu walked into the Antique Street with some trepidation.

Many people were picking things at the stalls.

One person picked up a strange iron spoon and asked, ”Brother, what’s the story behind this spoon?”

The stall owner said very seriously, ”This thing has quite a history, back in the day...”

The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a slightly plump face, like a crosstalk performer, and his voice had a storytelling quality that made people quite interested.

But the next sentence made Bai Yu unable to hold back.

”Back in the day, Pan Jinlian used this very spoon to feed Wu Dalang.”

”How much?”

”Three thousand.”

”A fair price.”

”Three hundred, not a cent less. Hey, don’t go, we can talk more.”

The rest was an improper bargaining scene.

Don’t think that stall owners are all talking nonsense.

Most people, without thinking carefully, would assume that such a business could never work.

That would be a huge mistake!

Could a rusty, broken iron spoon be sold under normal circumstances? Scrappers wouldn’t even take it!

But if you give this item a story, then it has value, even if it’s an absurd story. Customers don’t mind that 5 or 10 yuan; if it’s interesting to hear, they’ll buy it.

Afterward, they might feel like it was a huge loss, but at the time, they just bought it for fun.

Bai Yu walked for a long time but couldn’t find any martial arts Secret Manuals.

However, when he made eye contact with a stall owner, the stall owner pulled out an ancient book and said mysteriously, ”Little brother, I have a treasure here.”

Bai Yu glanced at the five large characters: Along the River During the Qingming Festival.

He asked somewhat speechlessly, ”How much?”

”This is the genuine scroll, only five thousand!”

Bai Yu rolled his eyes: ”Am I stupid? And this is a booklet, not a scroll! The genuine scroll is in the museum.”

”Are you stupid? How else would I swap it if it wasn’t made into a booklet? One price, three thousand.”

”Heh heh ~ Thirty is okay, as an ornament.”

”Deal!”

”...”

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yu felt that his purpose didn’t need to be too strong; buying a booklet in advance to put on a show was fine.

Thirty wasn’t expensive either.

Just as Bai Yu felt he was reaching the end of the street, he spotted a stall near the lake with many martial arts Secret Manuals and excitedly walked over.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw a group of people.

The leader was none other than Li Yunbin! Beside him were two men and two women, and in the middle was a young man with a rather displeased expression.

Having seen the Seventh Group’s roster, Bai Yu naturally guessed that these five adults were the core members of the Seventh Group.

As for the young man, he didn’t know.

Since he wasn’t particularly familiar with Li Yunbin, Bai Yu naturally pretended not to see them and looked down at the stall.

On the other side, Li Yunbin, as an extraordinary person, had extremely keen insight and naturally noticed Bai Yu.

His expression was somewhat surprised, and Qin Wanqing beside him asked curiously, ”What’s wrong? Is there something?”

As she spoke, the group didn’t stop and passed by Bai Yu.

Li Yunbin said, ”Just now, at a stall, I saw that young man who visited us this morning.”

”Huh?”

Upon hearing this, the team members looked back in confusion.

Qin Wanqing asked suspiciously, ”Is there a problem with that?”

”According to the information I saw, he shouldn’t have any connection with this area.”

”He’s probably trying to find a treasure, to buy those things.”

Li Yunbin thought for a moment and figured that after Bai Yu joined the group, he might have asked about ways to improve his strength, and a group member might have mentioned Sequence Promotion Items.

But in reality, while this method seemed like treasure hunting, the probability was extremely low.

More importantly, even if he bought a genuine item, he wouldn’t know how to use it.

The power of Ancient Gods was not that easy to inherit; without some foundation, the backlash of power could very likely lead to death.

’However... he got the news and immediately took action. He’s quite motivated.’

Li Yunbin thought this, and the six of them arrived in front of a shop on Antique Street: Red Moon Antique Shop.

The shop looked relatively dim and deserted. And their purpose for this trip was, of course, to visit the old friend Yang mentioned.
