Chapter 33: The Quest for Wealth

Jinzhou belongs to southern Xinjiang, with a total of 72 large cities, 343 county seats, and countless small towns. The Western Capital is one of the seventy-two great cities in Jinzhou.

According to the regional division, the western capital can be turned into 27 areas, and the Yuanmeng Chamber of Commerce has shops in these 27 areas, among which there are two shops of the Yuanmeng Chamber of Commerce in Huachuan District, to which Xiangyang Street belongs, and Lu Ming is one of them.

However, after Lu Ming inquired, he learned that there were no Soul Burial Flowers for sale in the Yuan Alliance Chamber of Commerce.

The waiter said to Lu Ming, "If the guest officer wants to buy the Soul Burial Flower, he may wish to participate in the auction in half a month, I believe that the guest officer will be satisfied."

Lu Ming asked, "There will be a Burial Soul Flower auction in this auction?" ”

The waiter shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, after all, the auction items will only be announced three days before the auction starts, but every auction will have a purchase order from the Yuan League Chamber of Commerce to participate in the bidding, as long as you can get this purchase order, you can make a request to the Dan League and the Qi League, of course, this request is also charged."

Lu Ming frowned, "In other words, after I bid for the purchase order, the Dan League and the Qi League will charge the fee again according to the request I made?" ”

The waiter nodded and said, "That's right, but we only charge costs, such as refining pills, if the guest officer prepares the corresponding medicinal materials by himself, and there are no other costs incurred in the alchemy process, the Dan Alliance can refine the pill for the guest officer for free."

Seeing that Lu Ming was moved, the waiter reminded, "The reserve price of the purchase order is only 100,000 gold coins, but the final transaction price of each time has not been 5 million gold coins.

Lu Ming took a deep breath, his current family wealth was only more than one million taels of gold, which was not half a star away from the amount of seven million taels of gold.

The waiter asked, "To participate in the auction, you need to hold a VIP badge of the Yuanmeng Chamber of Commerce, because the guest officer has spent more than 500,000 taels in the Yuanmeng Chamber of Commerce in Ningdu before, and is entitled to a VIP badge, does the guest officer need to handle it?" ”

Lu Ming nodded, "Help me handle it"

The badge pattern of the Yuanmeng Chamber of Commerce integrates the badge characteristics of the Dan League and the Qi League, and the workmanship is also very exquisite.

Leaving the Yuanmeng Chamber of Commerce, Lu Ming couldn't help but start worrying about money.

"Earn six million taels of gold in half a month?" , Lu Ming felt a bit fantastical just thinking about it.

Annoyed, Lu Ming unconsciously walked to the sword test tower.

Looking at the towering building in front of him, Lu Ming couldn't help but miss a little, "I haven't entered the Sword Trial Tower for more than two months, let's fight today."

Lu Ming thought so in his heart, and then walked towards the sword test tower, and along the way, what Lu Ming heard the most in his ears were the rumors about the Phantom Sword Fairy.

"It's really a strange thing, I don't know why the Phantom Sword Fairy hasn't fought in the past two months, but I'm still looking forward to her climbing to the top of the Sword Trial Tower and fighting the weak crown arrow god."

"Which of these Western Capitals is not looking forward to this competition, but after all, the weak crown arrow god is ranked at the bottom of the fish and dragon list, and there is a gap of more than a dozen places with the Phantom Sword Fairy, even if the two are fighting on the same stage, Fan Yuhuang is also defeated."

Another person disagreed and retorted, "This is not true, although the ranking of the fish and dragon list has a certain reference, it is not absolutely accurate." The reason why the Weak-Crowned Archer is ranked last is because he is the best at long-range attack, not melee combat. It is natural to suffer some losses in the ranking battle of the Fish and Dragon Rankings, but in the Sword Trial Tower, the thousand-mile-square ring is enough for the weak crown arrow god to exert all his strength, and it is still unknown who will win or lose in a battle with the Phantom Sword Fairy! ”

……

When Lu Ming listened carefully to the conversation of the people around him, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him, and Lu Ming grabbed the person, "It's you again?" ”

This person is the person who Lu Ming first entered the twentieth floor of the Sword Tower, intending to drag Lu Ming to participate in gambling.

However, compared to that day, this person was covered with bruises, and his expression was even more depressed.

When this person saw Lu Ming, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, but in the end, he still endured the hatred in his heart, and begged Lu Ming for mercy, "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, I don't know that the adult is actually an alchemist, if he knew the identity of the adult, how dare the villain be offended, and the adult, please let the villain go, spare the villain a way out."

Lu Ming frowned and asked him, "What's the matter with your injury?" Could it be that someone from the Sword Trial Tower did it? ”

This person shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How can the Sword Trial Tower lynch me......"

After hearing this person's story, Lu Mingfang knew the reason.

This person's name is Ma Wenyu, and after Lu Ming escorted him to the reception of the Sword Trial Tower that day, the Sword Trial Tower caught a group of lawless people behind him through Ma Wenyu, and immediately sent a group of people to the Xidu Mansion.

Due to Ma Wenyu's mistake alone, the entire Tianshui Guild suffered huge losses, and the Tianshui Guild naturally would not let Ma Wenyu go.

"After I was released by the Western Capital Mansion, I was expelled from the guild, and these bruises were also beaten by people in the guild"

Perhaps thinking of the grievances, Ma Wenyu sobbed, "My wife and children are all supported by me, and now that I don't have the work of the Tianshui Guild, how can I support my family?"

Ma Wenyu suddenly knelt down to Lu Ming, "You are a noble alchemist, please don't remember the villain's mistakes, let the villain have a way out."

Lu Ming frowned, he could tell from Ma Tianyu's expression that what he said was not a lie. However, as the so-called poor people must have something to hate, Lu Ming will not sympathize with Ma Wenyu because of his current miserable situation.

Lu Ming helped Ma Wenyu up, and suddenly a thought arose in his heart, and said to him, "It's not impossible to spare you, but you need to help me do something."

Ma Wenyu hurriedly said, "My lord, please speak."

"I'm in dire need of a sum of money recently, but with my current strength, I can't advance to the 100th floor of the Sword Trial Tower, so I can't participate in the regular gambling game."

Lu Ming didn't continue, as soon as Ma Wenyu saw Lu Ming's expression, he understood his intentions, "Why don't you say it earlier, I'll take you to the betting point of the Tianshui Guild."

Lu Ming smiled, "I won't bet"

Ma Wenyu was puzzled, "What does that adult mean ......?"

"I want you to bet for me, buy me every game and win"

Ma Wenyu hesitated, "It's okay to bet for adults, it's just that this gambling money ......."

"Don't worry, since I want you to bet for me, the gambling money will naturally be paid by me. However, you need to assure me of two things, first, my opponent's strength must be below the 100th floor of the Sword Test Tower; Second, I was able to get my money after winning."

Ma Wenyu nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, although the Tianshui Guild has arranged a large number of black hands in the Sword Trial Tower to control the results of the gambling game, how can a master above the hundred floors destroy his reputation and do such a deceptive thing." As for the second point, adults can rest assured, after all, the most important thing for the gambling house is its own reputation, even if the adults win a lot of money, the Tianshui Guild will only drive some dirty methods behind people, and will never dare to openly refuse to pay the gambling money."

Lu Ming nodded, "If you help me do things, I will naturally not treat you badly, every time I win, you can take one percent of the bets you win."

Ma Wenyu didn't show too much surprise after hearing this, after all, when he met Lu Ming on the twentieth floor of the Sword Trial Tower, the other party was just a hairy boy who couldn't even fight for a hundred taels of gold.

Therefore, in Ma Wenyu's opinion, Lu Ming's bet is only a thousand taels of gold at most.

But when Lu Ming took out a full 100,000 taels of golden tickets, Ma Wenyu was suddenly surprised.

After taking out the golden ticket, Lu Ming took out another pill, "This pill is called the Broken Intestine Pill, after taking it, you will experience the pain of colic, and you must take the antidote every three months, otherwise you will die of broken intestines."

Ma Wenyu was shocked when he heard this, and cold sweat couldn't help but flow from his forehead.

Lu Ming continued, "I won't force you, but if you are willing to help me do things, you must swallow this Broken Intestine Pill, you can choose for yourself."

Ma Wenyu lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally looked at the 100,000 taels of gold ticket in Lu Ming's left hand and asked, "If you win, will you really let me draw 10% of the bet in return?" ”

Lu Ming nodded, "I never break my word"

Ma Wenyu gritted his teeth secretly, grabbed the Broken Gut Pill on the palm of Lu Ming's right hand, and then swallowed it into his stomach in one gulp.

As soon as the Broken Intestine Pill entered the abdomen, Ma Wenyu was in cold sweat with pain, as if all the intestines were mixed together.

Lu Ming took out a pill again and "ate it"

Ma Wenyu grabbed the antidote, and after eating it, the pain in his abdomen gradually dissipated.

"You take this 100,000 taels, and when I enter the Sword Trial Tower, you will go to the Tianshui Guild to arrange a gambling game for me."

"Yes, my lord," Ma Wenyu replied.
