Chapter 359: Visiting and Wooing (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
On the first day of July, ask for a ticket, everyone has a guaranteed monthly pass, don't forget to support it!
..................
There are two rows of yellow-clothed guards standing in front of the door of Yingxian Pavilion, and their cultivation is the acquired realm.
Seeing Shi Mu Zhongxiu and the other three coming over, one of the yellow-clothed guards came over and stopped the three of them.
Zhong Xiu and Zhou Rui were wearing civilian clothes at the moment, and they were not wearing tokens that could show their identities, jade pendants and other things.
The three of them also restrained their breath, as if they were three ordinary tourists.
"Stop! You need an invitation from the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce to enter here. The yellow-clothed guard said, his face a little unruly.
"This is Elder Zhong, who is in charge of all matters in the Yingxian Pavilion from today onwards. Zhou Rui said, took out his steward identity token, and reprimanded.
The Tianwu Chamber of Commerce has a strict hierarchy within the world, and the identity of the manager of Zhou Rui's headquarters is comparable to that of the shopkeeper, second only to the elders, and I don't know how much higher than the yellow-clothed guards.
"The subordinates don't know, and ask Elder Zhong to forgive their sins. The yellow-clothed guards were startled and hurriedly retreated, and the rest of the guards also got out of the way when they saw this.
Zhou Rui snorted, ignored the other party, and led Zhong Xiu and Shi Mu into the Yingxian Pavilion.
Under the leadership of Zhou Rui, Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu walked along a corridor for a while, and after turning a corner, their eyes suddenly opened up, and a medium-sized venue appeared in front of the three of them.
The venue is boxy, the area is about 100 zhang, the venue descends in a stepped shape from the periphery to the center, there are more than 100 seats in each direction, and in the middle is a circular auction table, standing at the entrance, you can have an unobstructed view of the situation inside.
At this moment, a small-scale trade fair is underway, and there are about 100 people sitting in the venue, and the sound of selling prices is sounded from time to time.
"There are five auction venues in Yingxian Pavilion, two on the first and second floors, and the two floors are used by the Metropolis, which usually holds auctions on weekdays. The auction hall on the third floor is the largest and most luxurious, and it is not usually open to the public, but only during special periods, such as this decennial auction conference, will be opened. Zhou Rui said.
Zhong Xiu nodded, glanced at the venue a few times, and quickly took it back.
"Take me to the venue on the second floor. Zhong Xiu said.
Zhou Rui agreed, and led the two of them towards the second floor.
There is no one at the auction venue on the second floor at the moment, and the area here is about the same as the venue on the first floor, but the decoration style is quite different from the first floor, and it is more luxurious.
There are few seats in the venue, but the wood is high-end, spacious and comfortable, and each seat is equipped with a square table with some tea and fruit on the table.
Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu didn't stay long on the second floor, and soon came to the third floor.
At this time, the shopkeeper of Yingxian Pavilion, an old man with white hair and white hair, after hearing about Zhong Xiu's arrival, accompanied Zhong Xiu with several people.
Although they have seen two venues in a row, the auction hall on the third floor still dazzles Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu.
The venue here is decorated with simple decorations, carved dragons and phoenixes, as if it is a quiet study room of a family, rather than a chaotic auction venue.
The seating arrangement in the venue is quite exquisite, some seats are independent, and some are placed together in several places, unlike the previous venues, which are placed in casually.
Around the venue, there are also independent rooms, which are VIP rooms specially for people with status, where the view is wide, and the whole venue can be seen.
Shi Mu has also participated in many auctions, and in terms of the taste of the decorations, the venue in front of him is comparable to the pomp of the Tianyu City Immortal Ascension Auction.
"Shopkeeper Ge, has the batch of supplies entrusted by the city lord already arrived?" Zhong Xiu looked at Shopkeeper Ge and asked.
"It has been shipped according to the requirements of the headquarters, and now it is all in storage. Shopkeeper Ge said.
"Take us there. Zhong Xiu said.
Shopkeeper Ge looked at Shi Mu beside Zhong Xiu, hesitated for a moment, and said with some hesitation:
"Elder Zhong, you and Steward Zhou are both from the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, so there is naturally no problem in taking you to the warehouse, but this Senior Shi is not from the Chamber of Commerce......
Shi Mu's eyes moved, and he was about to propose to wait outside, when Zhou Rui, who was beside Zhong Xiu, suddenly spoke:
"This senior Shi Mu is a distinguished guest of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, and he has also done the Chamber of Commerce a great favor, Vice President Wang has instructed that Senior Shi Mu can enter and exit all places here at will. ”
Zhou Rui said, took out a letter, and handed it to the shopkeeper Ge.
Shopkeeper Ge's face was stunned, he hurriedly took the letter, opened the envelope and read it, then bowed to Shi Mu, and said apologetically:
"Senior Shi, the old man was rude before, please don't be surprised. ”
Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
"Shopkeeper Ge is polite. Shi Mu said this, but countless thoughts turned in his heart.
What is the purpose of Wang Ruikun's move, even if he finds those goods for Zhong Xiu, there is no need to show him such goodwill.
"Could it be that Wang Ruikun wants to win me over to join the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce?"
The rules of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce are extremely strict, and generally speaking, it is impossible for unrelated people to contact the privacy of the Chamber of Commerce, and there is only one possibility, that is, the other party has already moved to solicit.
With the intelligence network of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, if Wang Ruikun wants to investigate him, it should be easy to find out some of his details, and if he wants to win him over because of this, it is human nature.
As soon as he thought of this, he glanced at Zhong Xiu beside him.
At this moment, his palms warmed, and Zhong Xiu held his palm.
"Brother Shi, you don't have to worry about me, just do what you want to do. Zhong Xiu's lips moved slightly, and the voice sounded in Shi Mu's ears.
Shi Mu's heart warmed, he clenched Zhong Xiu's hand, and smiled.
"I know, don't worry. Shi Mu replied that he had already made a decision in his heart.
Shopkeeper Ge took a few people and walked downstairs, and soon came to the first floor.
"This way, please. Shopkeeper Ge led a few people to a room in the venue.
This room is ordinary, and there is nothing special about it.
Shopkeeper Ge turned over his hand and took out a cyan bead, and with words in his mouth, the bead immediately emitted a burst of blue light.
Click!
The ground shook and slowly sank for a quarter of an hour before it stopped.
"The warehouse was built so deep underground. ”
Shi Mu was secretly surprised, according to his estimates, at this moment, everyone was already below a hundred feet underground.
The warehouse was built here, and it is indeed foolproof.
Shopkeeper Ge waved his hand and shot out a blue light and landed on the wall beside him.
There was a "click" as the wall cracked in both directions, revealing an entrance.
"This is the auction warehouse, please come with me. Shopkeeper Ge said, and walked through the door.
In front of me was a huge stone chamber, the size of seven or eight houses, with all sorts of things piled up in it.
Piles of ores, spirit stones, monster materials, countless.
In addition to these things, there are dozens of wooden shelves, on which are placed more precious elixirs, magic weapons, books, and so on.
There are also large boxes in the depths, I don't know what is inside, but they can be placed in this stone room, there must be some rare things.
The more Shi Mu looked at it, the more frightened he became, he had also seen a lot of spirit stones and treasures in the Stygian Moon Sect's treasury in the Dark Wind Valley, but compared to the stone room in front of him, the savings of the Stygian Moon Sect in the Dark Wind Valley were nothing in between.
At this moment, his expression changed, and he felt a huge amount of intent locked on him, and he was definitely a master of the local level.
"Although I was allowed to come here, I was still on guard. Shi Mu said secretly in his heart, but he didn't feel any pressure in his heart.
He had no desire to covet the treasure here.
Zhong Xiu was obviously shocked by the treasure here, but she quickly regained her composure.
"What's in the batch of materials used for the auction?" she asked, looking at the shopkeeper Ge.
Although there may seem to be a lot of things here, at first glance, there are nothing particularly precious that cannot be sold at the auction meeting.
"Inside, please come with me. ”
Shopkeeper Ge said, led a few people inside, stopped beside dozens of large and small boxes, and signaled that the contents were.
Zhong Xiu stretched out his hand to open a box, and inside was a piece of ore a foot long, pure white in texture, shining, emitting a blade-like white light, and the person who irradiated it couldn't open his eyes.
"Taiyi Jingjin Iron!" Zhong Xiu blurted out.
Shi Mu's eyes also lit up, this ore is the top grade of metallic ore, the best material for refining spiritual weapons, it is extremely rare.
Such a large piece would require at least five or six thousand spirit stones to buy.
Zhong Xiu closed the lid and looked at the other box next to him, and Zhou Rui immediately stepped forward to open it with interest.
Inside the box is a long turquoise knife, with a strange shape, exuding strong mana fluctuations, it is a high-grade magic weapon, the quality is extremely high, and it is not far from the best magic weapon.
Zhong Xiu nodded and opened a smaller box, which contained a red jade bottle.
"What is in this bottle is the Blood Burning Pill, a total of fifteen pieces. Shopkeeper Ge said.
Shi Mu's eyes moved, he had seen the pill of the Blood Burning Pill in the classics, and after taking it, it could burn the qi and blood in the body, temporarily increasing the strength of more than three percent.
However, this elixir will also cause a lot of burden on the body, and the vitality will be greatly damaged after the effect of the medicine.
Even so, this Blood Burning Pill is also a very precious elixir, which can be of great use in the moment of life and death.
Zhong Xiu hummed and closed the lid.
"Give me a list of these goods, it's too cumbersome to read them one by one. She said to the shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper Ge answered, took out a piece of jade and handed it over, Zhong Xiu took it in his hand and closed his eyes, and his divine sense probed into it.
After a moment, she opened her eyes, her brow furrowed slightly.
"I've pretty much understood the situation here, so let's get out of here. Zhong Xiu said.
Soon, the crowd was back on the ground.
"Shopkeeper Ge, Yingxian Pavilion is still operated by you as usual for the time being, and as for the matters of the auction conference, I will give you instructions in the next two days. Zhong Xiu didn't stay here, and quickly walked out of the Yingxian Pavilion and gave an order to the shopkeeper Ge who was sent to the door.
"Yes. The shopkeeper replied. (To be continued.) )
