Chapter 63: Qingming City (11)
It was naturally Zhongli who spoke, he had already finished negotiating with Lu Chen, and seeing that the spiritual skill was about to be sold, he hurriedly opened his mouth to shout the price.
"It's Zhongli!" Hearing this voice, Bei Xiaoling suddenly jumped out again, and subconsciously shouted in surprise: "Zhongli, come on, don't let him snatch the spiritual skill." ”
"Zhongli, are you deliberately going against me?" Shangguan Yaowen roared, and the spiritual power of the eighth order of the Yuan Martial Realm was instantly released. Facing Zhongli's private room.
There was silence on the field for a while, and many people wondered if he was deliberately targeting Shangguan Yaowen, after all, he never shouted the price when this spiritual skill was auctioned, but he only spoke when he was about to make a deal, and anyone would be angry.
Shangguan Yaowen was also a big overlord in Qingming City, except for Su Luo and the Yan City Lord's Mansion that made him jealous, even the elders sent by the Biyun Sect were not taken seriously by him, and at this time he felt that he was being teased by Zhongli, which made him very angry.
Boom!
The door where Zhongli was opened and he walked out unhurriedly, looking at the various rooms on the third floor, and finally landed on Shangguan Yaowen's body, with a smile on his face and a bit of sarcasm.
"Is it a deception to the realm, aren't you allowed to participate in the auction?" Zhongli's face was full of mockery, he was a person who would not admit defeat, he would rather not give in, and would never retreat half a step because of Shangguan Yaowen's words.
"Boy, you can't find death!" Shangguan Yaowen's eyes were gloomy, and his voice was even more threatening.
Zhong Li didn't care at all, and said lightly: "I also happen to need a good spiritual technique cultivation, is there any problem with raising the price?" Could it be that this auction belongs to the Heng Dao Sect, Shangguan Yaowen, you can cover the sky with one hand?"
"You!" Shangguan Yaowen's body trembled, glaring at Zhongli angrily. In the end, he used his hands to pinch his fists, returned to the room, and slammed the door shut. Then there was the sound of smashing cups and bowls inside, obviously Shangguan Yaowen was venting his anger.
Shangguan Yaowen was indeed very angry, but as Zhongli said, he could naturally participate in the auction if he had money, and he Shangguan Yaowen couldn't control it. However, Zhongli directly raised the price to seven million lower grade spirit stones, and he had no way to continue to increase the price, so he couldn't explain it to the sect.
Su Luo looked at Zhongli and blinked curiously, wondering where Zhongli got so many spirit stones. However, when she saw Lu Chen behind Zhongli greeting her and waving her hand, she suddenly realized a lot. She knew Lu Chen's identity, he was the only son of the patriarch of the famous Lu family in Fengzhou, she guessed that Zhongli should just come forward, and the person who actually took this spiritual skill should be Lu Chen.
The sky-high price of seven million lower-grade spirit stones, just for a low-grade thunder spirit skill, has far exceeded the market price. If it weren't for the Ancient Spiritual Technique, then it would be a bloody deal. Naturally, no one raised the price again, and it ended up in Zhongli's hands.
The old man and the maid came to Zhongli's private room together, and after Zhongli's inspection, Lu Chen paid seven hundred medium-grade spirit stones to go out. A medium-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for 10,000 lower-grade spirit stones, and it is impossible for Lu Chen to carry millions of lower-grade spirit stones with him, so the transaction is naturally made of medium-grade spirit stones.
When the old man and the maid left, Lu Chen looked at the ecstatic Zhongli and smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhongli, aren't you a physical cultivator? You can't use this spiritual skill once or twice, I know that your physical strength is incomparable, but the old man said just now that you still need pure spiritual power to release spiritual skills, and your realm is not enough." ”
"Just now I said that I can definitely auction this spirit skill by borrowing you seven million lower grade spirit stones, but you don't need to increase the price so ruthlessly, if you increase the price slowly, six and a half million lower grade spirit stones will be almost enough. ”
Zhongli flipped through the spiritual skills, and said with some love: "Don't talk about this, in short, thank you, Brother Lu Chen." I'll definitely pay you back the spirit stones, now you can tell me what you need me to do, right?"
After Lu Chen heard Zhong Li's words, his face became heavy: "Brother Zhong Li, do you still remember Wei Hong from the Stargazing Gate?"
Zhongli thought for a moment and nodded, wasn't Wei Hong the young monk who was violently beaten by him at the gate of Sunset City, and then he was deceived by himself into bringing him into the Sunset City Lord's Mansion, how could he not remember.
"He is my distant cousin, and it is also fate, since you defeated the Elder in the Sunset City City Lord's Mansion that day, because he offended you, so after the banquet was over, he fled Sunset City for several days and came to join me. ”
"Are you worried that I will continue to seek revenge on him?" Before Lu Chen could finish speaking, Zhongli interrupted him.
"I don't have any grudges against him, and I don't hold grudges to this day. Besides, I don't believe you'll be willing to lend me millions of spirit stones for this matter. Zhong looked at Lu Chen with some disbelief, although he borrowed his spirit stone, he also had to figure out why he helped him so much.
Hearing Zhongli's words, Lu Chen hurriedly explained: "Of course not, presumably Brother Zhongli doesn't know about the changes in Sunset City, right?"
Zhongli looked suspicious and didn't speak, waiting for Lu Chen to continue to explain.
Lu Chen seemed to fall into memory, and after being silent for a moment, he said with a palpitating look: "When my cousin Wei Hong came to join me, I learned everything about you from him, and I was amazed to defeat the first-order monk of the Yuanwu Realm with the first order of the Spirit Martial Realm. ”
"Although my cousin Wei Hong is not in a high cultivation realm, he has a talent for painting, and at my request, he painted the scenes of the day one by one. Later, I even went to Sunset City to find Brother Zhongli myself. After speaking, Lu Chen took out a stack of papers from his arms, which was the scene of his battle with Elder Chen that day. Watching the pictures one by one, the dragons and tigers are alive, as if the scene is reproduced.
Zhongli looked at the paper painting and couldn't help but be vigilant. He didn't want to be known to everyone about his thunderstorm, and he didn't want to be recognized.
Lu Chen looked at him, and hurriedly explained: "Brother Zhongli, don't misunderstand, I guarantee that no one has ever seen this painting, only my cousin and I know Brother Zhongli's identity." ”
Zhongli asked with a look of disbelief, "What are you looking for me?" and what happened to Sunset City that you said?"
"Sunset City has been slaughtered!" Lu Chen finished speaking, with a hint of horror in his eyes.
Lu Chen told his identity as the heir of the Lu family. The purpose of his visit to Sunset City to find Zhongli that day was naturally to recruit him for the family. But when he went, he saw a terrible scene in Sunset City. When he arrived, he happened to run into Ning Tian, who asked to block the news at that time, and even requisitioned many people from the Lu family to deal with the corpse, this matter must not be exposed, otherwise it will cause panic.
"Sunset City has been slaughtered?How is it possible, how has there never been any news?" Zhongli blurted out in surprise, with a look of surprise, he thought of the Chongming Bird who had been separated from him, and thought of Sunset City's friend Cao Chun, and couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.
"Shh
Lu Chen motioned for Zhongli to be quieter, so as not to have ears on the wall.
"The news was naturally blocked by the envoy of Yanji City, if you don't believe it, you will go to Sunset City to investigate another day, now Sunset City has become an empty city, but you must not spread this news at will, the envoy of Yanji City has told me a thousand times. ”
Zhongli nodded solemnly, although he didn't believe it, but he also knew that Lu Chen would not use this matter to deceive him, although this kind of thing could be investigated, he was just worried about the safety of Chongming Bird and Cao Chun. After the disappearance of Chongming Bird, he has been thinking about it, after all, he has lived together in the vast mountains for so long, and he is one of his few friends.
After Lu Chen explained this, he said with some embarrassment: "I borrowed seven million spirit stones from Brother Zhongli, and there is only one request, if Brother Zhongli agrees, the spirit stones do not need to be returned." ”
"You want me to practice the exercises of the physical body?" Zhongli asked guessingly.
Lu Chen knew that he had survived the Thunder Tribulation, and he must have been the same as everyone else, thinking that he had cultivated the exercises that specialized in refining the physical body, which led to the Thunder Tribulation.
It's just that he himself knows that he doesn't have any exercises to cultivate the physical body at all. It was completely the mysterious iron rope in the dantian that helped him. However, Tie Suo has now turned into a miniature version of himself in the dantian and has begun to refine his spiritual power for him.
"No, no, no!" Lu Chen heard Zhongli's words and quickly waved his hand to explain.
"I want Zhongli to join my Lu family and become an Elder Hakqing. However, there was no need for Brother Zhongli to do anything, on the contrary, the Lu family would provide Brother Zhongli with a steady stream of resources for cultivation in the future. It's just that if the Lu family encounters any life-and-death disasters in the future, Brother Zhongli needs to protect my Lu family if he has the ability!"
When Zhongli heard Lu Chen's words, he asked rhetorically, "It's that simple, aren't you afraid that if I take the spirit stone and don't do anything, I won't be rewarded for my efforts?"
When Lu Chen heard Zhongli ask, he was a lot more relieved, and said with a smile: "I believe that the person who can cause the thunder tribulation that will not be born for tens of thousands of years will not be the one who talks about it, I believe in you." ”
Zhongli didn't speak, and after staring at Lu Chen seriously for a moment, he finally said with a solemn face: "I swear by the demons in my heart, if the Lu family has a moment of life and death in the future, you only need to inform me." If I have the ability, I will definitely shelter the Lu family to survive safely. ”
