Chapter 698: A Different Kind of Auction
This is the most delicious meal Lu Yi has eaten during this time, four side dishes, seemingly very inconspicuous, but it is the four ultimate tastes of sweet and sour, sour tears, spicy sweating, bitter tongue, sweet but not greasy, the bowl of noodles is the above good seasoning carefully marinated bacon with green vegetables The sauce is poured on the hot hand-rolled noodles, the gluten is good, the meat is fragrant, and the vegetables are clear, which makes Lu Yi eat a sigh and snort. The two pots of wine, one pot is piping hot, the other pot is cold, and the alternation of one cold and one hot is also a different kind of ultimate experience.
The two were eating while pulling the cowhide, Lu Yi took the opportunity to ask about Ai Sanniang's whereabouts, but the fat man said that he didn't know, and he also told Lu Yi that Ai Sanniang has always been mysterious, and he often goes out for months or even half a year, and the fat man still has a lot of resentment about it. Lu Yi asked how the fat man met Ai Sanniang, but the fat man kept silent and did not respond, and Lu Yi was also very pleased with the fat man's tight tone.
Lu Yi asked the fat man curiously, why don't you do a good business, why do you open the door after half a month? The fat man said mysteriously, only in this way can he appear more unfathomable, and he can ask for a high price. In addition, he has a good place to go, so he won't tell Lu Yi for the time being, and said that he would take Lu Yi to see it another day.
The two drank until late at night before parting, Lu Yi returned home, and immediately opened all the prohibitions, the figure in the room flashed, Lu Ying appeared, and began to report to Lu Yi on the observation during this time.
What makes Lu Yi strange is that since Lu Ying went to the fat man's treasure building, he has never seen Ai Sanniang, it seems that after Lu Yi left last time, Ai Sanniang also disappeared, Lu Ying told Lu Yi that he had seen many women in the fat man, but there was no one who looked like Ai Sanniang he showed himself, but the Huang family lady had been there a few times, and every time she lost her temper with the fat man and fought with the fat man before leaving. The fat guy is not honest either, the reason why he changed it to the fact that he only opens on the fifteenth day of the new year is because in addition to going to the tavern to eat, he also found a good place that he will not want to return - Xiaoyao Building. Now the fat man has become a frequent visitor to Xiaoyao Building, and he often stays there for three or five days. Lu Yi understood, the best place for the fat man to tell him must be this Xiaoyao Building. However, Lu Ying told Lu Yi that although the fat man was nostalgic for the flowers, he never cultivated with the women there, and every time he went, he called one or two beautiful women to drink and brag, and to the greatest extent, he was beaten, scolded, and hugged, but nothing substantive ever happened, which also made Lu Yi more curious about the fat man. Besides, the fat man often receives summonses, but every time he reads it silently, he never mentions anything, Lu Yi guesses that the fat man's two red faces are gone, most of them are to do something for the fat man, and the summons may come from the two.
After Lu Ying reported these to Lu Yi, Lu Yi told Lu Ying some of his thoughts, but although Lu Ying had strange skills, he was completely incomprehensible in terms of human affairs, Lu Yi talked to him for a long time, and many things were difficult for him to understand, and finally Lu Yi simply gave up explaining to him, planning to just use him as a microphone.
The two kept talking about Tianming, Lu Yi felt that a messenger flew over, so he let go of the ban and took the messenger in his hand to investigate, this is a messenger from Huang Tianchen, he invited Lu Yi to participate in a large-scale auction to be held in the central business area tomorrow, he told Lu Yi that the auction was hosted by Wanling Pavilion, a top commercial house in the mainland, and the auctioned items involved all levels, and it is said that there is also a treasure finale, Lu Yi suffered heavy losses in the first battle of the fire demons last time, and saved Huang Tianchen's life, so Huang Tianchen plans to invite Lu Yi to participate in this auction to see if he can buy one or two items that Lu Yi likes as compensation。 Lu Yi thought about it, and still declined Huang Tianchen's invitation, he was definitely going to the auction, but he didn't want anyone to find out, he had his own ideas, in case he found something good, he could buy it with his own financial resources, especially some rare materials, Danfang or something, others would inevitably be suspicious when they saw him buying these things, so it was better to act alone. It didn't take long for Lu Yi to also receive an invitation to the auction of the Huang brothers, and it seemed that the two were also trying their best to win them over, for fear that something would happen to them, but Lu Yi also declined. However, Lu Yi felt that he would find a time to talk to the Huang family brothers again, and now it seems that Huang Tianchen didn't want their brothers to think about it, so he still had to communicate with them more about this matter, and it was even necessary for the three of them to sit down and talk openly and honestly.
Lu Yi hadn't been home for a long time, and after sending a message back to a few people in the Huang family, he took a good look at the house again, and after making sure that he hadn't been infiltrated, he asked Lu Ying to help him control the wind, and he came to the room, found a corner and put the jade pendant on his body, and turned around and entered the jade match, because there was one thing in it that he needed to deal with by himself - a few living treasures such as the little monkey Xiaoling have now become a pot of porridge, and if Lu Yi doesn't come again, it is estimated that a few little guys will have to dismantle the pet beast space.
This matter has to start from the last time Lu Yi brought the little Jiao beast back, that day, the little Jiao beast scared the little monkey a lot, and the little monkey was very vindictive, after Lu Yi threw them all into the jade pendant, the little monkey always looked at the little Jiao unpleasantly, always thinking about finding trouble with it to save the face he lost that day. However, Xiao Jiao had a big hatred on his back, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the little monkey at all, but devoted himself to cultivation, and ignored the little monkey's several provocations. However, the little monkey is active and belligerent by nature, the more Xiao Jiao ignores it, the more it can't bear to harass Xiao Jiao, and finally, the annoying Xiao Jiao is forced to be anxious, and the little monkey fights, but the little Jiao will vacate the little monkey will not, the result can be imagined. This time, the little monkey was depressed again, and he had practiced his skills in the Dead Mist Stone Forest, but the opponent was in the air, and he was useless at all. Xiao Jiao continued to cultivate, and the little monkey was depressed all day long, almost turning the pet beast space upside down. And Xiao Ling is also afraid that the world will not be chaotic, but he is still happy to follow the little monkey to "do nonsense".
Lu Yi naturally knows all this, among his friends, the most immature minds are Xiao Ling and the little monkey, Xiao Ling is okay, he knows that he eats stupidly and plays, and generally does not cause any trouble; Lu Yi had no choice but to come in to appease this unconscious guy in person.
When Lu Yi entered the pet beast space, the little monkey was working hard towards a cherished fruit tree transplanted by Lu Yi, the fruit tree had just borne fruit, and many of them were not fully ripe, so the little monkey picked all the fruits, some were bitten by it, and most of them were simply thrown on the ground. Seeing Lu Yi appear, the little monkey was stunned for a moment, and then aggrievedly pounced on Lu Yi's body and began to squeak and chirp. Among all these Lu Yi's pet beasts, the little monkey is the closest to humans, so its expression is also the richest, and Xiao Ling just stupidly took his head to rub Lu Yi, but he would not be coquettish like a little monkey, and Xiao Jiao only glanced at Lu Yi and continued to cultivate on his own.
Lu Yi took the little monkey to Xiao Gui, who was still sleeping, and found that the breath on Xiao Gui's body had strengthened a little, and it seemed that it had completed its advancement and was not far from waking up, which made Lu Yi look forward to it. Lu Yi cleaned up the unsightly space that was tossed by the little monkey again, and then touched the top of the little monkey's head dotingly and said, "Are you bored here?" Why don't I take you out for a walk?"
The little monkey was overjoyed when he heard this, and jumped down from Lu Yi's body, dancing happily, Lu Yi looked at this moody little guy helplessly, his figure flashed, and he disappeared on the spot with the little monkey.
The auction in Extinguishing Cloud City was held as scheduled, and on this day, the flow of people in the entire central business area was nearly two percent more than usual, not only some big figures from major families and sects frequently appeared, but even some hidden masters who were very low-key and easy to show their heads on weekdays also appeared. The huge auction hall with a capacity of 100,000 people is already full at the moment.
The auction of Wanling Pavilion is very interesting, there are no VIP seats or private rooms in their auction, and all the monks who come to participate in the auction are all gathered in one place, and everyone is equal to each other. Because some people don't want to show their true faces, the Ten Thousand Souls Pavilion also sells a kind of Qi Dan, after taking this thing, you can be covered in light smoke for three hours, so that people can't see your true body, even the middle stage of the spirit building monks can't penetrate the weird light smoke. Of course, the asking price of this pill is also very expensive, the price of each pill is one hundred medium-grade spirit stones, which is not at all something that ordinary monks can consume, and you must take this pill immediately after you buy it, and you must not take it out of the auction house. Lu Yi also showed great interest in this thing, he took a pill, and felt it carefully, only feeling a main ingredient called cloud grass and several secondary auxiliary materials in it, and there were several key things he didn't have time to distinguish, the entire pill turned into a burst of smoke and emitted from every pore of the body, making Lu Yi into a vague human form, but it did not affect Lu Yi to look outside, it was really strange.
