The matter of Zhao Tingting and Lin Yuhan made Zhang Xu helpless, he simply didn't care about anything, and put all his energy on cultivation.

Most of the thirty-two Pei Yuan Dan had been used, and Zhang Xu's realm had been completely stabilized at the peak of dark energy. However, since then, the progress of cultivation has plummeted, and the effect of Pei Yuan Dan has become less and less obvious.

It stands to reason that the effect of Pei Yuan Dan has no effect at least after turning strength, and seeing that his cultivation effect is gradually stagnating, Zhang Xu is a little confused, why did such a thing happen?

It has been like this for a week in a row, and the absorption of aura is getting slower and slower, but Zhang Xu still hasn't found the reason.

Let's try to raise the Spirit Gathering Array.

Thinking like this, Zhang Xu simply made an appointment with Yang Yangming on the weekend and came to Sister Deng's jade shop again.

When Sister Deng saw Zhang Xu coming, she complained with a smile: "Why hasn't Zhang Shao come to the shop for so long?"

Zhang Xu smiled and said: "School has started, and there are many things in the school. ”

Sister Deng nodded understandingly, and then asked, "Is there any need for Zhang Shao to come this time?"

"The ancient jade we picked last time, is there a better one in Sister Deng's store? Zhang Xu thought for a while and said.

Sister Deng pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "If Zhang Shao wants to find a better Gu Yu, I will think of something." ”

"Sister Deng, please speak. Zhang Xu hurriedly asked.

"Next week there will be a grand antique auction in the industry, led by the commercial giants of Zhonghai City. Sister Deng said, "If Zhang Shao and Yang Shao are interested, they will definitely get something in this auction." ”

When Zhang Xu heard the news, he said happily: "Then thank you, Sister Deng, we will definitely go then." ”

Sister Deng smiled and said, "Zhang Shao may not know that this auction requires an invitation to participate." But Zhang Shao can rest assured, I will help you two with this matter. ”

Zhang Xu thanked: "Then thank you Sister Deng." ”

Leaving Sister Deng's jade shop, Yang Shao asked, "Brother Zhang, do you have any money to go to the auction?"

The antiques that appear at auction must not be too low, and they are bought by a bunch of people. Yang Shao's words asked the key, Zhang Xu felt that he was short of money for the first time since he came to Dongzhou City.

Zhao Yuanhao thanked himself for the two million, except for spending 200,000 yuan on medicine, he almost didn't spend any money. But even so, Zhang Xu now only has a total of more than 1.7 million.

"I can take out about 1.7 million now, which is probably not enough. Zhang Xu thought for a while and said, "I'll think of a way." ”

Yang Yangming pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother Zhang, how much do you plan to spend on antiques at the auction?"

"I don't know. Zhang Xu told the truth, "If you want something to look at, then it's best to buy it." ”

"In that case, you really have to prepare as much money as possible. Yang Yangming said, "I have about the same amount of money as you now, and it's only about a million." Well, I'll find a way to ask the family for the main points, and then find the brothers to make it together. It is estimated that I can prepare three or four million. ”

"If that's the case, thank you so much. Zhang Xu began to worry about Yang Yangming's mention of the money from the auction, and now he sees Yang Yangming taking the initiative to help, and he sincerely thanks him.

Yang Yangming waved his hand and said generously: "Brothers, why are you talking about this." ”

"That's about four or five million, and you should be able to get something. Zhang Xu thought with some joy.

A week passed quickly, during which he deliberately avoided Lin Yuhan, except for the inevitable little communication in the classroom, he was like a stranger at other times.

Since Zhao Tingting met in the café, she seemed to be avoiding Zhang Xu, which made Zhang Xu a little confused. But that's fine, save the trouble.

Yang Yangming's money was quickly gathered, and he helped Zhang Xu take out more than three million yuan in total, plus Zhang Xu's own money, the total amount finally exceeded five million.

After school on Friday, Zhang Xu and Yang Yangming made an appointment to meet at a time and place on the day of the auction, and then said goodbye and went home. As soon as he walked to the gate of the community, a man standing next to a Land Rover off-road vehicle suddenly walked towards Zhang Xu.

"Brother Zhang, long time no see. Zhang Xu heard the sound and saw that Shang Yunlu was walking towards him enthusiastically.

Since Zhao Yuanhao held a thank you banquet for himself, Zhang Xu has indeed not seen Shang Yunlu for a long time, and he doesn't know what will happen when he suddenly waits for him.

"Long time no see, Brother Shang. Zhang Xu said hello and asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"Will Brother Zhang go to tomorrow's auction?" Shang Yunlu asked without a clue.

Zhang Xu was a little surprised, what Shang Yunlu said couldn't be exactly the antique auction he planned to attend, how would he know?

But thinking about it, Zhang Xu didn't show a trace of surprise, but nodded calmly and said, "Well, I've made an appointment with a friend, and I'll attend on time tomorrow." ”

"I knew that Brother Zhang would definitely not miss this auction. Shang Yunlu seemed to be a little disappointed and said, "Originally, I was still thinking about it, but I was afraid that Brother Zhang didn't get this news, but it seems that I was thinking too much." ”

"Thank you, Brother Shang, for coming to remind me. Zhang Xu said quietly.

"Well, in that case, then I'll take my leave, and I'll see you at the auction tomorrow. Shang Yunlu said, saying goodbye and leaving.

Shang Yunlu's sudden appearance made Zhang Xu alert, this auction did not seem to be simple. What does he mean by "news"?

It seems that the answer will not be known until tomorrow.

At noon on Sunday, Zhang Xu made an appointment with Yang Yangming early, and the two of them soon arrived at Sister Deng's jade shop.

Seeing the two of them arrive so early, Sister Deng smiled and said, "You guys are really anxious." I've got the invitation, but the auction won't start until 5 p.m. ”

Zhang Xu smiled and said, "It's okay, let's wait a while and then go." ”

Sister Deng said: "That's right, Zhang Shao, since you don't have anything to do, you might as well help me with the jade in the store." ”

Sister Deng helped herself, and Zhang Xu also felt that she should express something, so she happily agreed. The three of them chatted while looking at the jade sent by the clerk.

Zhang Xu judged the value according to the aura contained in the jade. A piece of jade marked as the Yuan Dynasty is priced at 180,000 yuan, and another piece of jade from the Ming Dynasty is obviously more abundant than the one in the Yuan Dynasty, but it is only priced at 120,000 yuan.

"Isn't this price right?" asked Zhang Xu, pointing to the jade with a price tag of 120,000.

Sister Deng smiled: "Zhang Shao is really discerning. The master in this jade shop judged that it was from the Ming Dynasty, but according to the other party's statement at the time of receipt, it was something from the Southern Song Dynasty. ”

"The other party should not be lying. Zhang Xu nodded, and what he said in this way was much more reasonable.

Zhang Xu continued: "If Sister Deng is willing, I plan to pay 200,000 yuan to buy this thing." ”

Sister Deng happily agreed.

I saw the things later, but I didn't find any valuable jade. Zhang Xu casually pointed at Sister Deng and pointed out the price or age of the thing.

Taking the opportunity of small talk, Zhang Xu inquired about what was special about this auction several times, but according to Sister Deng's performance, she didn't seem to know.

At four o'clock, the three of them left the jade shop and rushed to the auction venue.

The venue of the auction is located in a well-known hotel in Dongzhou, and the entrance has already been posted, and from this afternoon, uninvited guests will not be allowed to enter. However, there was no sign for the auction.

Zhang Xu and Yang Yangming followed Sister Deng, handed over the invitation at the door, and walked into the hotel lobby.

The hall was decorated with a drinking party, and the guests who had already arrived were gathering in twos and threes to drink and chat. Zhang Xu glanced at it casually and found a lot of acquaintances.
