Chapter 177: Nine Turns of Longzhi Grass
Although the Shendu auction is held in the capitals of each region, the actual place is not in the city, but on the outskirts of the city. Because the scale is too large, there are no exhibition halls and auction halls that can accommodate so many commodities in the capital that have been built and planned, so every time the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce holds an auction, it will establish and divide the auction and trading area on the vacant land on the outskirts of the city.
Out of the city to the east, Chen Yuan and Feng Sanqi came to the venue of the Shendu auction, although this time the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce only built five auction venues, one main field, four secondary venues, but the area reached thousands of acres, almost catching up with one-tenth of the size of Youtian City.
After coming here, Chen Yuan and Feng Sanqi were shocked, thousands of monks gathered here, countless treasures flickered, and many monks walked around the venue like flowing water. This auction has become an annual exchange of monks, and outside the five auction halls, countless monks set up stalls to sell treasures they don't need in exchange for money or things they need.
Here, monks bargaining with stall owners abound, and the five auction halls are bustling with people. When Feng Sanqi saw this kind of scene, he immediately became excited, he originally liked a lively personality, and such an occasion was very suitable for him.
Feng Sanqi pulled Chen Yuan and kept shuttling in the flow of people, and when he saw some novel treasures or creatures, he would unconsciously lean closer and take a look curiously. "Let's stop wandering around, let's go to the auction house and have a look. After a while, Chen Yuan grabbed Feng Sanqi and said.
Feng Sanqi nodded, he knew that although these things outside were varied, and none of them looked bad, the really good things were still in the auction hall. The rules of the Shendu auction are that as long as you have enough treasures, you can be assessed by the Chamber of Commerce and then auctioned by the auction house.
If the value is sufficient, with the name of the Shendu Auction, there is a great possibility that the auction will be successful, because most of the people who are qualified to enter the auction house are rich and powerful, either rich or expensive, in other words, they are not bad for money. And if the value of your things is high enough, it is very likely to be eaten directly by the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce, so the treasures in the auction are interesting.
The two walked to the nearest sub-auction hall, and as soon as they reached the door, they were stopped, and the two staff members with the badge of the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce politely said to the two: "Please stay, please show the invitation." ”
Generally, in such a large-scale auction, in order to auction as many goods as possible, the auction house will issue invitations to some big families or individuals with strong financial resources in advance, the purpose is to increase the auction rate of goods, but Chen Yuan and the two obviously do not have the qualifications to receive the invitation letter.
At this time, a young man with a sharp beak and a monkey cheek and a frivolous demeanor, hugged a plump woman with heavy makeup, and said bitterly: "Why are you people from the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce so blind, you look at the two of you, dressed shabby, and there is embroidery on the collar that I don't know what it is, it's just dirt to the scum, and there is no noble medal, you still expect them to be able to get an invitation? What a joke!"
"How do you speak? Didn't your father teach you the word politeness?" Feng Sanqi was furious when he heard this, turned his head and stared at the man viciously, and wanted to rush up to teach him a lesson, but was stopped by Chen Yuan.
"This guest, our Shanhe Chamber of Commerce adheres to the principle that those who come are guests, even if the two of them do not have an invitation letter and cannot enter the auction hall, we also welcome and thank them for coming to the auction house. So please respect yourself, otherwise I have the right to leave on behalf of the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce in the name of disturbing the order of the venue. Who knew that the staff member who stopped Chen Yuan and the two turned his head and said to the mean man.
This made Chen Yuan's impression of the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce deepened a lot, the ordinary staff's humility and arrogance, this kind of self-confidence, comes from the strength of the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce, they have the confidence to say that they refuse others to participate in the auction.
Moreover, the concept of the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce is very positive, and it will not treat guests differently because of their origin and identity, which is probably the reason why this Chamber of Commerce has been able to stand tall and stand at the top of the major chambers of commerce.
Maybe it was because of the strength of the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce, or maybe there was something in this auction hall that he was determined to get, the mean man didn't say anything excessive, but took out the invitation to the auction from his arms with a gloomy face, handed it to the staff, and wanted to enter the auction hall.
But things didn't go as smoothly as he thought, and a lazy voice came from behind him. "The people who insulted my Taoist Academy, and they want to leave like this?" The mean man looked back and saw a man and two women appearing behind him at some point.
"Sister, why are you here?Yo, isn't this my lovely Yingying junior sister?Why are you following them?The couple is unmistakably hugging and hugging, aren't you embarrassed?" Feng Sanqi laughed.
The person who came was Liao Xun, Zhang Linger and Zhang Yingying. "You stinky boy, now that you're bold, even your sister dares to make it up, see if I don't stop you!" Zhang Ling'er said in shame.
Watching the two sisters fighting, Liao Xun and Chen Yuan shook their heads helplessly, while Chen Yingying, who was on the side, kept covering her mouth and snickering. "Hey, the Daoist Academy is amazing, isn't it just a group of martial artists?" just as a few people were laughing, the mean man said with some annoyance and anger when he saw that everyone was ignoring him.
Liao Xun squinted his eyes and glanced at the young man's noble medal, and said disdainfully: "It's really stupid for a mere three-star nobleman to dare to make a big deal of nonsense here and despise others!"
Do you know that the clothes they are wearing are the most famous uniforms of the Heavenly Ghost Squad in the Dao Academy? Do you know that the pattern that you ridiculed is the team logo that the Heavenly Ghost Squad is proud of? Do you know what the members of the Heavenly Ghost Squad represent in the Heavenly Domain?"
That's right, Chen Yuan and Feng Sanqi usually wear team uniforms when they fight freely, because only by wearing team uniforms can they freely enter and exit the back mountain, and it is too troublesome to go back to the military palace to change clothes, so the two of them came here in team uniforms, but they didn't expect to be ridiculed.
"The Heavenly Ghost Squad! That's the elite squad of the Dao Academy!"
"In other words, most of the people who came out of the Nether Heaven Ghost Team eventually became the top of my Nethersky Domain, and in terms of noble titles, it seems that none of them are lower than four stars. When Liao Xun said the identities of Chen Yuan and the others, everyone present had a lot of discussions, and the ghosts of the dark sky and the ghosts represented the Daoist Academy more than once to participate in the competitions of various domains, and their fame was so loud that even the staff of the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce couldn't help but look at the two of them differently.
"You still say that we, if you don't wear a team uniform, you won't be a member of the team?" Feng Sanqi said with a smile. Only then did everyone suddenly realize why Liao Xun wanted to speak out to obstruct the entry of the mean man, it turned out that he was also a member of the team, and his teammates and the Taoist Academy were insulted, so he naturally wanted to stand up and seek justice.
When he learned that the three of them were members of the ghosts of the Netherworld, the mean man's intestines were repentant, you know, no accident, these people's future official positions and titles are even higher than the father who gave him the inheritance of the title, whether it is background or strength, these people have thrown him for several streets, and his provocation, just like what Liao Xun said, is stupid.
"Our brother just came back from a border mission, outwitting two thousand desolate beasts, and he and our captain fought against four hundred extremely vicious desolate beasts, and wiped them out, saving more than 1,000 people in Guanhai City, even a scumbag like you deserve to despise my brother?" Liao Xun took a sip and pointed to the mean man's nose and said.
When the people around heard that Chen Yuan and others were heroes who saved thousands of people, they couldn't help but start condemning the mean man one by one, and for a while the mean man became like a mouse that everyone shouted and beaten. Seeing this, the mean man didn't even care about his female companion, and he didn't take the invitation letter, and fled directly.
Seeing that Liao Xun turned the mean man's words into the target of the public, Feng Sanqi secretly gave him a thumbs up. The mean man was driven away, and this turmoil can be regarded as over, but Chen Yuan and Feng Sanqi still can't enter the auction venue, and the staff is also very helpless, but the rules are the rules and cannot be changed.
"Otherwise, let's go back to the team leader, they are the senior leaders of the academy, and the academy has cooperated with the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce this time, and it is estimated that we can obtain the qualification to enter the auction venue. Liao Xun said to Feng Sanqi and Chen Yuan that he and Zhang Ling'er also did not have an invitation letter, so they could only take a look around the monk bazaar outside the auction hall.
"Don't bother the teachers with this kind of trivial matter, I'll solve it. Chen Yuan shook his head and said.
"You?," Hearing Chen Yuan say this, everyone turned their eyes to him for a while.
"Since we don't have an invitation, we can always auction things!" Chen Yuan said as he took out an herb that looked like a coiling dragon.
"Nine Pan Jackie Chan! This, this is the Nine Turns Longzhi Grass?" "Gu Dong", Liao Xun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a very strange tone, as if someone had choked his neck, looking at his expression, he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.
"What's wrong with you, isn't it just a grass?" Zhang Ling'er was very puzzled by Liao Xun's reaction.
"This is indeed a grass, but it can be said to be invaluable! Longzhi grass is a very common healing medicine, which has a good healing effect on external and internal injuries, and it is also one of the main medicines of Pei Yuan Dan that we commonly use.
But the longzhi grass we see every day is a turn of the grass stem with only one or two turns, and two turns of the longzhi grass. It's hard to see even three or four turns, because with each more turn of this herb, the medicinal effect will increase exponentially, and the value will naturally be much higher.
Legend has it that the Longzhi grass can reach the point of nine turns, once the grass stem is bent nine times, the Longzhi grass will turn into a dragon, and the medicinal effect will reach the peak, the life and death dare not say, but the flesh and white bones can definitely do it, it is the grade of the peerless medicine king!" Liao Xun explained to Zhang Ling'er excitedly.
Zhang Ling'er looked back at the medicinal materials that meandered nine times in Chen Yuan's hand, and finally the grass blades became dragons, and found that in addition to the color of grass green, this Longzhi grass had completely turned into a dragon shape, dragon scales and dragon claws were readily available, and even a trace of dragon charm could be seen from this Longzhi grass, combined with Liao Xun's explanation, that is to say, Chen Yuan's hand was a real nine-turn Longzhi grass!
