Volume 2: Blue Lotus Chapter 78: The House of Sages
Sage City is famous for its commerce throughout the Tianqin Dynasty, and there are countless major auction venues located in it. The city is densely populated with buildings, but from a distance, there is only one high-rise building with the largest scale, and that is the one that has contributed the most to all the auction venues in Sage City. It is the world-famous auction venue located in the Sage City, the Sage Building!
The Sage Building, whose name is taken from the word "Sage" in the name of the city, is the largest auction venue in the Sage City. It is said that almost half of the total annual income of the Sage City comes from the Sage Building. The fame of the Sage Building can be imagined.
The Sage Tower is like a dazzling star in the Sage City, and it looks extremely bright. Compared to other small auction venues in the vicinity, the Sage Tower can be said to stand out from the crowd. Although Ye Xiao and Liu Hao had not been here before, judging from the scale of the buildings in the Sage City, they could easily know which auction venue was the famous Sage Tower.
Above the door of the Sage Building, a huge plaque inlaid with precious agate hangs. On the plaque, the writing is impressively "Sage Building" three big characters. The three big characters, written as the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, and entering the wood for three points, are obviously from the hands of famous artists. At the same time, these three large characters are also completely brilliant and dazzling gold, obviously decorated with expensive gold. Under the processing of many processes, such a plaque of immeasurable value was finally created perfectly.
Rather than having strict hierarchical boundaries and dividing customers into classes like the Sage Alliance, the Sage Building is a warm welcome to guests from all over the world. However, the power of family background and status can always inadvertently show the weight contained in it.
As the most prosperous auction venue in the Sage City, the Sage Building is naturally crowded with people. The lobby near the main entrance is crowded with people. If you want to seek a purity here, then you need to spend the corresponding spirit stones to find a private room in the Sage Building, so as to avoid the hustle and bustle caused by the crowd. Before entering the building, the first thing people do is to show their noble status. If a person's identity can attract enough attention from the Sage Building, then this person can save a lot of extra time and go directly to the private room prepared by the Sage Building for distinguished guests, so as to obtain that unique tranquility.
Ye Xiao and Liu Hao obediently followed behind Liu Shan, moving little by little with the crowd, and after unremitting waiting, the three of them finally came to the entrance of the Sage Building. At the entrance of the Sage Building, there were two burly men. Both were dressed in heavy silver armor and armed with a sharp, straight spear. This kind of outfit makes people feel a sense of seriousness when viewed from a distance. The heavy pressure also makes those who approach it feel a sense of suffocation. And the aura emanating from the two of them was emitted by the Earth Spirit Realm martial artists who could split mountains and open stones!
Ye Xiao naturally clearly felt the terrifying aura emanating from the two of them. In the past, when he was in the Ling family, he already knew what kind of terrifying aura could be released by the tenfold cultivation of the Earth Spirit Realm, so at this moment, facing the two martial artists of the first level of the Earth Spirit Realm, Ye Xiao could quite clearly distinguish the true cultivation of the two.
However, Ye Xiao's attention was not all about the cultivation of the spiritual realm of this earth, what made him sigh was that although they had stepped into the ranks of the spiritual realm, the identities of the two of them were only warriors guarding the door. To know that in the Canglan Domain, after cultivating into the Earth Spirit Realm, he can become the head of the upstream family, and the glory and wealth that he can enjoy in the future is unimaginable. But now in this well-known Sage City, the martial artists who have been recultivated in the Earth Spirit Realm are actually just ordinary gatekeepers. Ye Xiao could basically expect that the martial artists in the Sage Building must have reached the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and there was even a high probability that there would be a great power in the Venerable Spirit Realm.
However, Liu Shan, who cultivated to a high level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm and was far away from the two gatekeepers, calmly took out an object from his sleeve and handed it to the gatekeeper who was closer to him.
What Liu Shan handed out was a delicate jade plaque in sky blue. It was the first time Ye Xiao had seen such a clear and beautiful blue, so he naturally didn't know what the jade plate was for. Therefore, when Liu Shan took it out, Ye Xiao showed a different calm posture.
However, on the contrary, the visitors who were closer to the three of them, as well as the Earth Spirit Realm martial artist who had taken the azure jade plaque and realized what it meant, were all dumbfounded and surprised, and the more excited ones couldn't help but exclaim.
Ye Xiao saw the strange appearance of everyone, and some of the second monks were puzzled and couldn't understand the reason. He didn't want to understand, and hurriedly asked Liu Hao beside him. And when Liu Hao heard Ye Xiao's question, he couldn't help but laugh, and explained to him: "Actually, it's not a big deal, this jade plate is just my father's." ”
Hearing the word "dad" in Liu Hao's mouth, Ye Xiao couldn't help but gasp, and finally understood everyone's extraordinary actions before. This small blue jade plaque is actually the belongings of Liu Hao's father. And the identity of Liu Hao's father, Ye Xiao also knew it clearly before, and he was the dignified Tianshui City Lord!
No wonder the people around were so surprised, it turned out that the people who knew the goods had seen the origin of the jade plate. However, it is not surprising that those who are qualified to mix in the Sage Building, who have not experienced strong winds and waves, and have not seen the world? That represents the azure blue token of the Tianshui City Lord, someone can naturally recognize it at a glance. In particular, the warrior who took the jade plaque, after realizing the weight of the jade plaque in his hand, couldn't help but tremble his hands and legs, and at this moment, it seemed that it had become extremely difficult for him to stand firmly. However, the cultivation of the Earth Spirit Realm is not an ornament after all, after the shock, he held the jade plaque, moved his legs with difficulty, and walked into the Sage Building, obviously to report this earth-shattering news to the elders in the Sage Building.
Sure enough, not long after the martial artist entered the building, a figure hurriedly walked out of the Sage Building, and there was still a standard business smile on his face: "The distinguished guests of Tianshui City are coming, my Sage Building has lost its welcome, please atone for your sins more, please atone for your sins more." ”
It was a slightly obese man, and his identity as a merchant could be judged by his appearance. His luxurious clothes show his noble status at every moment. Seeing the visitor and hearing his slightly unique greetings, the people around them fell into deep shock again. Because most of the people present recognized the identity of the comer. This man's identity can be quite weighty. The person in front of him is the deputy owner of the Sage Building!
"The lord of Tianshui City came in person, and my Sage Building is far away, and I also invite all distinguished guests Haihan. The man gestured to the three of them, politely expressing his "apologies".
The experienced Liu Shan naturally wouldn't eat his set, but he also responded with a friendly smile: "It's our honor to let the deputy landlord of the Sage Building greet him personally, where can Haihan say it? ”
The deputy landlord of the merchant in Liu Shankou, formerly known as Shang Ren, is the deputy owner of the Shengxian Building. He has loved business since he was a child, so he later went into business with the owner of the Sage Building, and finally succeeded in creating such a perfect work as the Sage Building. And Shang Ren's cultivation has also stepped into the ranks of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and those who do business are most afraid of robbers who rob halfway, so for them, high strength is indispensable. With strong spiritual cultivation in their bodies, they can do business and trade more securely and steadily, and they don't have to worry about it all the time, fearing that others will plot against them behind their backs.
"Young Master Liu of Tianshui City, Steward Liu of the City Lord's Mansion, the names of the two, are like thunder below. I don't know what the other little brother is called?" "The names of Liu Hao and Liu Shan, this deputy owner of Shangren has naturally heard of them, and he also knows a little about their appearance. But when he saw Ye Xiao's new face, he looked extremely puzzled. How did an ordinary Xuanling Realm martial artist get in touch with a behemoth like Tianshui City?
"I didn't expect such a large number of business and deputy landlords, and I am really grateful to remember the names of the two of us. Liu Shan also smiled: "The little brother next to me is the person I made friends halfway through, and he will go forward with us." ”
"Since the distinguished guests do not care about the past suspicions, please also invite the three of them to move their faces, and I will be hospitable. Shang Ren didn't think too much about it, but gave a commercial smile again.
"Thank you. Liu Shan also responded very politely. Since the other party is already so generous, then you don't have to pay too much attention to these details.
Following in the footsteps of the deputy landlord, the three of them walked into this famous treasure building.
In the Sage Building, there is a unique world. On the ground is a large red carpet woven with precious brocade satin. The stairs leading to the heights on both sides of the room are also made of precious woods such as mahogany and rosewood. On the handrails, there are many lifelike characters carved and engraved. What eight immortals cross the sea, what travels to the west to learn scriptures, everything should be, everything.
The Sage Building was naturally crowded as expected, but the deputy landlord in front of the three of them was obviously a deterrent lord. Seeing the deputy landlord coming over with the VIP, the person in front hurriedly stepped aside and made a way, for fear that he would make the deputy landlord unhappy and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. However, Shang Ren didn't say much about this, and just walked straight with the three people behind him.
When Ye Xiao and the three of them passed by, all the people around them also cast their eyes on the faces of the three of them, trying to find out; what kind of sacredness could actually allow the distinguished deputy building owner to go out to greet him personally? These people were all in the building before, so they didn't know much about the things outside, and they only knew that there were a few dignitaries with distinguished status in the Sage Building. But when they saw the azure jade plaque in Liu Shan's hand, they immediately understood why there was such a big commotion here and there today. After all, the young master of a city is definitely not a small person that ordinary people can despise at will.
