Early the next morning, Long got up early, because today he and Zhou Shuotian had made an appointment to go to the Hanhai Pavilion in Black Rock City to see it together.

Hanhai Pavilion is the largest and most authoritative auction house in China. On the fifteenth day of each month, Hanhai Pavilion will hold an auction, and each auction will have a lot of rare treasures, martial arts, etc.

As soon as Long Qing had breakfast, Zhou Shuotian took his five guards to Wei Qing's residence. A group of seven people marched towards Hanhai Pavilion.

Zhou Shuotian asked people to inquire today, and learned that there might be a purple vine in Hanhai Pavilion's auction today, so he asked people to tell Liu Baiqin the news. Liu Baiqin is in urgent need of purple vines now, and he will definitely go to see it, and he can't hide his joy along the way.

Long Qing looked at Zhou Shuotian's excited appearance now, thinking about his helplessness and decadence after being drunk yesterday, he really couldn't imagine that he was alone!

One million gold is definitely an astronomical amount for ordinary people, why did Yu Bohou put forward such a condition to Zhou Shuotian? Just because Liu Baiqin's peerless appearance or the status of a great disciple of Qingcang Academy is also a strange thing to think about.

Hanhai Pavilion is located in the north of Black Rock City, the whole building is very magnificent, looking from afar, red tiles and blue bricks, stone base cornices, antique, it can be seen that the strong strength behind this Hanhai Pavilion!

When he was about to arrive at Hanhai Pavilion, Zhou Shuotian asked the other guards to go back first, leaving only Uncle Thursday alone. The three of them were in a secluded place, took their hats, and continued to walk towards Hanhai Pavilion in a grand manner.

Long Qing not only asked, "Why do you want to bring a hat?"

"Hey, it's an unwritten rule. Because every auction will have some rare treasures, exercises and cheats, etc., and some people with bad minds will have the auctioneer's idea. In order to ensure the rights and interests of the auctioneers, Hanhai Pavilion came up with such a method! In this way, no one knows anyone, and they don't know who the treasure is bid for, so there is a lot less trouble, and Hanhai Pavilion can also earn some reputation!" Zhou Shuotian explained.

To enter the Hanhai Pavilion, you must first pay at least 100 taels of gold as a deposit, and the people of the Hanhai Pavilion will arrange the floor and room according to the amount of your deposit. Zhou Shuotian directly threw a silver ticket to the guy in Hanhai Pavilion, and the guy took it and saw that the silver ticket of the Great Dragon with one thousand taels of gold directly took down a wooden card from the wall behind him, and led the three of them respectfully.

The wooden plaque on this wall is the number of each room in Hanhai Pavilion, no wooden plaque corresponds to a number, when the number plate on the wall is gone, then it means that the room is also full, and if you want to come in for auction, you can only wait for next month!

Long Qing, Zhou Shuotian and Uncle Zhou were taken to a room with a wooden sign hanging at the door, and the wooden sign read Tianzi No. 5. The three of them entered the room, although the room was not large, but the decoration was very elegant, with a picture of autumn hunting carved on the wall, a complete tiger skin at the feet, an elegant table in the middle, three rattan chairs, a jug of wine on the table, and four luminous glasses. On the innermost wall of the private room, there are several palm-sized air holes, through which you can see the auction table in the middle.

Wei Qing was not only impressed, but Hanhai Pavilion really put a lot of thought into the secret design.

Soon, one of the guys from Hanhai Pavilion sent in a booklet, which listed all the items to be auctioned today.

Zhou Shuotian threw a silver ingot to the guy, and the guy hurriedly thanked him, "Gongzi Xie is generous!"

Long Qing asked, "This pamphlet also costs money?"

Zhou Shuotian looked at the booklet and nodded, "Of course, with this booklet, you will know what good things are today, so you won't spend all your money at the beginning, and when there are better treasures later, there will be no silver." Zhou Shuotian shook the booklet in his hand at Long Qing, "If you don't have this booklet, you can only have a black eye!"

Long Qing thought to himself that this Hanhai Pavilion would really make money, "It makes sense!"

Zhou Shuotian's eyes staring at the pamphlet suddenly lit up, "Haha... Purple vine!"

"Purple Vine?" Long Qing muttered in his heart, isn't this exactly what Liu Baiqin and the others went to the desert to find, not only asked, "What is Purple Vine?"

Now the purple vine is quite famous in Shenzhou, almost everyone knows it, but Long Qing didn't know about the purple vine, not only asked in surprise, "You don't know the purple vine?"

Long Qing shook his head helplessly, "I've only heard the name!"

Although Long Qing also learned and learned a lot of medicinal herbs in Longshan Pavilion, they were all limited to the growth of Gubei Island, and the purple vine grew in the desert, so Long Qing naturally had no chance to know it.

Zhou Shuotian saw that Long Qing really didn't know, so he explained, "Actually, I didn't know it before, but recently, because the dean of Qingcang Academy urgently needed purple vine to detoxify, Qingcang Academy hung a lot of money to buy it, but for some reason, all the purple vines in all parts of Shenzhou were bought out, and for a while, the word purple vine was very loud and well-known." Zhou Shuotian smashed his mouth and continued, "The purple vine is actually just a medicinal herb, which grows in the desert and is extremely difficult to obtain. ”

"I see!"

Zhou Shuotian handed the booklet to Long Qing, "Look at what you like, I'll help you take a picture of it, count it as my apology for the last time!"

"What's the matter?"

"Didn't I take someone to beat you!" Zhou Shuotian said with some embarrassment.

"Hehe... This matter is over! There is no need for any apologies!" Long Qing excused himself.

Zhou Shuotian pretended to be angry, "That's not good! If you don't accept my gift, I won't be happy!"

Long Qing saw that Zhou Shuotian was so persistent, so he no longer shirked, and opened the booklet to watch carefully.

The booklet contains a detailed list of the items to be auctioned, including not only names, drawings, but also detailed descriptions.

Long Qing flipped from beginning to end, most of the items in this auction were some weapons, armor, exercises, martial arts, pills and the like, although they were all some good things, but there was nothing special. The only thing that caught my eye was the purple vine.

Purple vine, sunny, warm, drought tolerant, cold-sensitive, grows in the desert, has a well-developed root system, tough stems, three-edged stems, small leaves, and heavy leaves.

Long Qing looked at the pictures and introductions of the purple vine, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, and subconsciously took out a branch of plant from his arms and compared it with the picture.

Zhou Shuotian was drinking wine comfortably, looking at the plant in Wei Qing's hand, he jumped up from the stool directly, snatched it up, and said excitedly, "Purple Vine!"

"This is the purple vine?" Long Qing asked rhetorically.

Zhou Shuotian couldn't hide his excitement, and looked at the purple vine with bright eyes, "Of course! This is not only the purple vine, but also the silver of the white flower!"

"So this is the Purple Vine!" Long Qing said not only with some amazement.

"Brother Long, you don't understand this. Zhou Shuotian shook the purple vine in front of Long Qing's eyes, "Now such a purple vine is worth at least a thousand gold!"

"So expensive?"

"Of course!"

Zhou Shuotian reacted, stared at Long Qing and asked, "How can you have a purple vine?"

"Picked in the desert!" Long Qing replied truthfully.

"Picked in the desert?"

"Hmm!"

Zhou Shuotian knew that Long Qing was out of the desert with Liu Baiqin, and couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Long, you sent it!"

"Uh..."

Zhou Shuotian thought that if he gave this purple vine to Liu Baiqin, he would definitely be able to get her joy, so he looked at Long Qing with hope on his face and said earnestly, "Sell this purple vine to me, okay?"

Long Qing looked at Zhou Shuotian's longing gaze, of course he knew Zhou Shuotian's purpose for buying this purple vine, and he couldn't refuse, so he said lightly, "I've sent it to you!"

"Uh... Give it to me!" Zhou Shuotian looked at Long Qing in disbelief, this purple vine is worth a thousand gold, but he didn't expect Long Qing to give it to himself like this.

Long Qing nodded calmly, and spit out two words in his mouth, "Return gift!"

After Zhou Shuotian heard this, he laughed, and unceremoniously took the purple vine into his arms, thinking that he would auction a suitable lot for Wei Qing in a while, and give it to him, "Since this is the case, I will not be polite to you!"

"Ding Ding..."

A string of melodious bells rang from the center of the auction room.

A bewitching woman in a red dress and holding a fan swayed to the center of the auction table, and the bright lights shone on her body, adding a touch of enchantment.

The women's group fan covered her lips, her eyes flowed, and she opened her lips and teeth lightly, "Distinguished guests, come from afar, the little girl Yu Xiang is so polite!" After speaking, she bent down and said a blessing.

The originally noisy Hanhai Pavilion suddenly quieted down. Those who have participated in the auction know that the auction is about to start...

"The bidding rules of Hanhai Pavilion are that you only need to pull the bell in your room to increase the price, pull it, ring the bell, ring the bell, it will increase the price once!" Yu Xiang introduced the rules of the auction, after all, there are always a few bidders who come to the auction for the first time, and Long Qing is one of them.

After introducing the rules, Yu Xiang cranked the fan in his hand, and with one move, a young woman came to Yu Xiang with a tray and auction items on the plate.

The white fingers with the fragrance of green onions gently untied the red silk covering it, and a pair of sharp daggers appeared in the tray.

Yu Xiang pointed to the dagger and said, "This is a pair of ice daggers, taken from the thousand-year-old ice under the glacier in the far north. ”

As soon as Yu Xiang's words fell, someone pulled the bell and bid!

"Thirty taels in the yellow No. 8 room!"

"Xuanzi No. 9 room forty taels!"

“···”

After some bidding, in the end, this pair of ice daggers was bought by the distinguished guests of Xuanzi No. 5 room at a transaction price of seventy taels.

Wei Qing looked at the novelty, and thought about pulling the bell, so he added ten taels, the sound of the bell was like the sound of silver colliding, this designer really loves silver to home.

Out of curiosity, Wei Qing gently tugged, and with a "jingle bell", a crisp bell sounded in the empty auction hall...

"Poof..."

Zhou Shuotian was drinking wine comfortably, when he heard the bell on the corner of his room suddenly ring, he was so frightened that the wine squirted out, and wiped the residual wine from the corner of his mouth with a big sting, "Brother Long, is it the bell you pulled?"

"Yes!" Long Qing said with some embarrassment holding the string of the bell in his hand.

Zhou Shuotian looked up to the sky and sighed, "Brother Long, now is not the time for bidding, you are pulling the bell now, which means that you want to add a better lot than this pair of ice daggers just now!"

"Add lots?"

Zhou Shuotian nodded, groping for something valuable on his body, he could top it, but rummaging through his whole body, except for the silver ticket, there were no valuable items at all, "If we can't provide more valuable lots, not only will we be thrown out of the auction hall!

"So serious?" Wei Qing didn't expect that he was curious for a while, and he would cause such a disaster, it didn't matter if he was thrown out, he just involved Zhou Shuotian for no reason. He was kind enough to take me to see it, but I didn't expect that I would have itchy hands for a while, and I would make it like this, not only did I regret it.

"Bang Bang Bang..."

There was a knock at the door...

"It's over, it's over, the people from the auction hall are here!" Zhou Shuotian was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, pacing back and forth.

Long Qing thought that his weapon was just an ordinary iron spear, and it was not as valuable as an ice dagger, and all he could take out was some silver taels and medicinal herbs.

"Medicinal herbs!" Long Qing's eyes flashed, "We can auction the purple vine!"

Zhou Shuotian was so distressed that he held the purple vine in his arms, "This is a gift for Senior Sister Baiqin, how can it be auctioned!"

Long Qing took out another purple vine from his arms and said to Zhou Shuotian, "Auction this one!"

Zhou Shuotian was overjoyed, "How many purple vines do you have?"

Long Qing said lightly, "There are a few plants!"

"Although the purple vine is not a rare grass, it is also a very rare plant. It is known for its ability to remove toxins from the heart, and more importantly, it can nourish the heart, but the purple vine grows in the depths of the desert, and it is already very difficult to obtain one.

Zhou Shuotian was a little painful, and a little helplessly handed over the purple vine in Long Qing's hand to the guy outside the door, and the guy outside the door saw that what Zhou Shuotian was holding in his hand turned out to be the purple vine that had recently become well-known in Shenzhou, and couldn't help but feel happy, "Childe is really generous!"

Zhou Shuotian felt pain in his heart, but he couldn't show it in front of outsiders, so he could only wave his hand and let that person leave as soon as possible, so as not to regret it!
