Chapter Twenty-Three: A Serendipitous Encounter on the Way

There was silence at the scene, and everyone was startled by the high price shouted by the mysterious man.

Seeing the reaction at the scene, Lian Rou quickly came back to her senses, her beautiful eyes glanced at the bottom expectantly, and then said slowly: "This friend bid four million, is there a higher price, if not, this blood jade vine will belong to this friend." ”

Zhong Wuming, who was still proud before, had a gloomy face when he heard this, but his face was terrifying, it was almost a thing in his bag, but at this time, he had to let him spit it out of his mouth, how to make him willing.

But the original three million taels is already almost his limit, and the current high price of four million is definitely not something he can decide.

Zhong Wuming glanced in the direction where the mysterious man was, and found that the person sitting there was just an ordinary-looking man, and there was no special mark on his body.

Seeing this, Zhong Wuming's eyes flashed with a strange look, Zhong Hidden under the sleeve robe clenched his fist tightly, and then let out a sigh of relief, unwilling to give up.

Even Zhong Wuming has given up, let alone others.

After Lian Rou asked three times and no one bid again, this blood jade vine was finally auctioned by the mysterious big man.

With the sale of the blood jade vines, this auction is over.

Qin Sheng returned to the auction, handed over the number plate in his hand to the previous person in charge, and after some calculations, deducted the medicinal materials that had been auctioned before, and at this moment, all Qin Sheng's money added up to 170,000 taels.

After putting away the silver taels, Qin Sheng left the auction house, and the joy in his heart naturally went without saying.

Fortunately, he didn't forget to pay attention to the hidden traces, and went around a few times outside to make sure that no one was following him, and Qin Sheng returned to the Qin Mansion.

Back in the house, Qin Sheng first cut the black cliff snake fruit according to Lin Tingzhi's instructions, and after a while, he saw that there was indeed a purple delicate fruit growing inside the black cliff snake fruit, the volume was no more than the size of two thumbs, the color was bright, and he could even vaguely feel a breath like a spring breeze rushing towards him.

After Lin Tingzhi's identification, it was confirmed that it was a purple lotus fruit.

Those who know a little bit know that an ordinary six-grade medicinal herb is at least tens of thousands of taels, and those that are a little thinner are far more than that, and buying a purple lotus fruit at a price of seven thousand taels is not weaker than that of the seven-grade medicinal herb, Qin Sheng's heart is happy.

Although Qin Sheng didn't know much about alchemy, the light emanating from his body was faintly fragrant, as well as the color of the surface, he didn't have to think much to know that this was a rare medicinal herb.

This time, Qin Sheng made a lot of money, and he didn't know which guy with no long eyes actually sold such a valuable thing at a low price, if that person knew the value of this purple lotus fruit, he was afraid that he would beat his chest and regret it.

After hiding these medicinal materials, Qin Sheng then took a stack of silver tickets, found Ling'er, who was concentrating on helping him decoction outside, and instructed her to go outside to buy some medicinal materials.

These were all the various materials of the pills he needed for his cultivation at this stage, and he could only temporarily run aground due to limited economy before.

But now it's different, Qin Sheng has as much as 170,000 silver taels on his body, so he naturally won't be stingy.

Ling'er was also well-behaved, and she didn't think about where Qin Sheng got so many silver taels, so she answered softly and went out. Maybe in Ling'er's heart, Qin Sheng is omnipotent, no matter what he does, it is a matter of course, with such an idea, he naturally will not have any doubts about Qin Sheng suddenly taking out this huge amount of money.

After Ling'er left, Qin Sheng also left the Qin Mansion after him, and what he had asked Ling'er to buy before was just some more ordinary medicinal materials, and some relatively rare or expensive medicinal materials, Qin Sheng could only do it himself.

He didn't plan to tell anyone about the Holy Sword yet, even if it was the trustworthy Ling'er, Qin Sheng didn't tell the truth.

Qin Sheng dared to assert that if the world knew that this Holy Sword of Mercy had fallen into his hands, within a few days, he would be subjected to endless harassment and hunting.

If Qin Ruhai was still alive before, Qin Sheng might not need to be so cautious, but now the Qin family has long been decayed, and there is not much left of the foundation that Qin Ruhai has laid for many years, how can such a Qin family ensure his safety?

After a long walk around Ziyang City, Qin Sheng was carrying a small burden on his back at this moment, and walked towards the direction of Qin Mansion with a little satisfaction on his face.

Under Lin Tingzhi's guidance, Qin Sheng had gained a lot from this trip, basically all the medicinal materials needed for cultivation at this stage had been purchased, and the rest could only depend on Ling'er's ability.

While thinking, Qin Sheng walked as he walked, and when he came to an alley not far from Qin's mansion, he suddenly heard a fierce fight nearby.

In order to go back early, Qin Sheng habitually walked this relatively remote alley. Hearing the sound of the fight at this moment, Qin Sheng was also slightly surprised.

You must know that Ziyang City, as the capital of the Dashun Empire, naturally does not have to worry about public security, and under normal circumstances, such a fierce weapon fight will not occur at all.

Slightly curious in his heart, Qin Sheng couldn't help but speed up his pace and walked in the direction where the sound of the fight came from. When he got closer, Qin Sheng also slowed down, held his breath, and cautiously looked towards the place where the sound of the fight came from.

This look made Qin Sheng a little surprised, at this time, in the depths of the alley, there were actually seven or eight martial artists with high cultivation who were besieging a big man.

And the big man was besieged by this group of people, and there were already several wounds on his body, and with his violent movements, blood spilled from the wounds from time to time. But the big man didn't realize it, his face was very calm, and every punch he swung, every swing of his arm, could force the enemy who was close to him back.

Although they were outnumbered, the wounds on their bodies continued to increase, but the group of people besieging the big man was also uncomfortable, as far as Qin Sheng saw in this short moment, there were actually two people who were beaten by the big man and vomited blood and fell to the ground, not knowing life and death.

With the withdrawal of the two men, the pressure on Dahan suddenly decreased. Although the consumption of strength was huge, the big man was refreshed, and he turned from the previous passive to active, aiming at one of the people in front of him, it was a fierce attack.

Qin Sheng's current cultivation is not high, but his vision is still good, at first glance, he only feels that this big man's moves are strong and powerful, and every move and style has an indomitable and domineering momentum, which is not at all something that those who besiege him can resist.

Sure enough, under such a strong onslaught of the big man, in just an instant, two more people folded in his hands.

However, after killing two of them, Dahan also paid a lot of price, and the clothes behind him were completely torn at this moment, and on the exposed skin, a wound seven inches long was revealed. Qin Sheng could see clearly, blood was bubbling out of the wound, if he continued to fight so violently, I was afraid that in less than half a moment, the big man in front of him would lose too much blood and die.

Qin Sheng didn't know these people, so naturally he didn't have the leisure to help anyone, and even if he wanted to help, with his current cultivation, he couldn't help for the time being, so he simply hid in a corner and observed, secretly guessing the origin of these people in his heart.

But without waiting for Qin Sheng to figure it out, the next situation was greatly beyond his expectations, originally he thought that in the end, the big man would definitely not be able to hold on, but he didn't expect the result to be the opposite.

Not only did the big man not fall, but he became more and more courageous, but in this short period of time, he unexpectedly killed all the enemies in front of him.

Qin Sheng could see clearly that among that group of people, the lowest cultivation was at least a golden warrior, and among them there was even a martial artist at the level of a martial artist.

I didn't expect such a strength to bully more and less, but in the end, he was killed by the big man single-handedly, that is a strong man who cultivates as a martial artist!

Unexpectedly, he was killed so easily, and Qin Sheng was also a little dumbfounded.

"It's amazing!" Qin Sheng couldn't help but secretly exclaim when he saw Dahan's shot so neatly.

As the group of people fell one by one, when the last enemy was directly crushed by the big man's neck and fell to the ground softly, the fight was finally over, and the alley quickly returned to quiet, and only the faint sound of the big man's breathing could be heard.

Qin Sheng carefully observed the surroundings and saw that there was no more excitement to see, so he naturally prepared to leave here. He didn't want to provoke a stranger with a strong cultivation for no reason, even Wu Hao was not the opponent of that big man, let alone him. If he wants to die, he misunderstands that he has some evil intentions, and then he will not die unjustly.

However, just as Qin Sheng turned around and was about to leave, the big man who was originally standing pounced and fell straight to the ground, and then he didn't move, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Seeing this, Qin Sheng's brows couldn't help but raise slightly, and he hesitated a little in his heart.

In the melee just now, Qin Sheng didn't pay attention to the appearance of this big man clearly, and when he saw the big man falling, he also observed it carefully.

After seeing the big man's face clearly, Qin Sheng had a doubt in his heart: "Why is this person a little familiar, I seem to have seen him somewhere." ”

Qin Sheng muttered to himself, but at this time, Lin Tingzhi suddenly spoke: "Xiao Sheng, that person is the mysterious person who auctioned the blood jade vines at the auction before. ”

"It turned out to be him!" Qin Sheng said a little abruptly, "Since it's him, then this group of people besieging him must be for the blood jade vine on his body." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Sheng walked out of the corner of the alley, and then slowly came to the big man's side, first looked at the corpses around him, and made sure that those people were completely out of breath, Qin Sheng slowly walked in front of the big man.

With such a close observation, Qin Sheng didn't find anything special, but this big man was so tenacious, and he was still alive after being so seriously injured, which was really good.

Just as Qin Sheng lowered his body and was ready to check it out, the big man who was lying motionless on the ground suddenly reached out and grabbed Qin Sheng's left foot, and asked in a cold voice: "I found you hiding in the corner early in the morning and wanted to kill me, but it's not so easy!"
