As the night darkens, the town of Heping comes alive.

The hall on the first floor of the inn is even more lively, with many adventurers and business travelers gathering together to drink and brag. More and more people came from all over the country, large and small inns were overcrowded, and latecomers simply found an open space to camp, and the cold and deserted town was particularly lively.

Hong Yuan kept sitting cross-legged on the bed behind closed doors, but he had no intention of cultivating.

Zou Haiyan's inadvertent discovery shocked his heart, and he couldn't calm down anymore. Good cultivation exercises are a panacea that can make people reborn, while bad exercises are just the opposite and can lead people astray. The treasure scriptures that had been carefully collected in the past had become highly poisonous in Hong Yuan's eyes, and he finally understood why he had been unable to break through for a long time.

A small scorpion suddenly crawled in through the window and danced on the desk.

Hong Yuan was happy, originally irritable, but he was amused by this little scorpion that could only dance. This is a messenger sent by the Scorpion King, which means that Hong Python and his party have arrived with an army of war pets, and according to the agreement, they have lurked outside the town to wait for their orders.

"Go down, little one. ”

Hong Yuan bent his fingers and popped out a Yang Blood Pill to reward this well-behaved and clever little scorpion. Now, when the army arrives, it will be the Blood Bat King, and when the latter arrives, he can leave to enter the Daredevil Stone Forest.

Hong Yuan stood by the window, looking in the direction of the Night Demon Stone Forest. The night was thick and I couldn't see anything, but I didn't need to deliberately unfold my thoughts, I could sense a palpitating aura coming from the direction of the Night Demon Stone Forest, majestic, ancient, and gloomy, as if an ancient beast was lying in the southwest corner of Heping Town.

"The slowest scorpion army has arrived, where is the Blood Bat King Hong Ba, where has it gone?"

Hong Yuan frowned, looking at the night sky and groaning.

Before he reached the Ghost Gate, he sent the Blood Bat King to explore the way first. As a result, several days passed, and he rushed to Heping Town outside the Night Demon Stone Forest, but the Blood Bat King was still nowhere to be seen. It seems that either the Blood Bat King had an accident, or he just didn't listen to his own warnings and went to the Daredevil Stone Forest.

In the hall downstairs, there was a sudden commotion, interrupting Hong Yuan's contemplation. Hong Yuan walked down to take a look, only to see that people were walking out in a noisy manner, and the hall that was still crowded just now was only a few people left in the blink of an eye.

"Uncle, you're here too?"

Behind Hong Yuan, Zou Haiyan's voice suddenly came, and he walked down the stairs while putting on a cloak, "Someone walked out of the Night Demon Stone Forest and brought out three cloud mist flowers at once, which are to be auctioned in the Cloud Mist Pavilion publicly. Everyone rushed over to join in the fun, uncle, do you want to go with us and go and have a look?"

"It's okay, it's boring anyway. "Hong Yuan agreed, the Cloud Mist Flower is famous on the Gods and Ghosts Continent, and since ancient times, I don't know how many people have died in the Night Demon Stone Forest because of this, but until now, Hong Yuan still doesn't know what the Cloud Mist Flower looks like.

"Let's go, Liang Laosan, they can't wait again!"

Zou Haiyan rushed out of the inn in a hurry, outside, Liang Laosan and the others had been preparing for a long time, and the group went straight to the Cloud Mist Pavilion in Heping Town, and Hong Yuan followed behind in a low-key manner. Soon we came to a magnificent building with thick walls, all made of large blocks of stone. The decoration is not luxurious and elegant, but there is another majestic atmosphere, and the mottled walls tell the history of this building, which seems to be older than the thousand-year-old Xiongguan Ghost Gate.

On both sides of the gate, there is a welcome boy, and each guest respectfully presents a beautiful waist card with both hands. On the front of the waist card, the words 'Cloud Pavilion' are engraved, and on the back is a stone forest that stretches without end.

"This is the identity card of the Cloud Pavilion, with such a waist card, you can prove that you are a guest of the Cloud Pavilion, and many times it is better than the local road guide. ”

Zou Haiyan explained in a low voice, she is not very old, but her knowledge is extraordinary, "There are many auction houses on the market, but there are not many that really have good things, and they are very low-key, and Cloud Pavilion is one of them. There are branches in Hualong City, the capital of the Hualong Empire, and Yelong City, the capital of our alliance. In Night Dragon City, even if someone leads the way to find the Night Dragon City branch of Cloud Pavilion, they can't enter without this waist card. ”

"Only those who have no ability are loud, and those who have the ability are cautious and low-key, not bad!"

Hong Yuan nodded, quite admiring the style of the Cloud Mist Pavilion, and was also a little puzzled, "Yanzi, according to what you say, the identity of the Cloud Mist Pavilion may not be able to be bought with money, but now, how can you give it to someone when you see it?"

"Uncle, guess, guess!"

Zou Haiyan pretended to smile mysteriously, and under the guidance of the waiter, he led Liang Laosan and the others to sit down on a row of seats, looked around, and then whispered: "Uncle, do you see, the people who can come here are either outstanding adventurers, or business travelers with extraordinary financial resources, these people are basically the middle and upper echelons with enough influence, whether in the Hualong Empire or our alliance. In other words, most of them are the customers of the Cloud Pavilion, and building a Cloud Pavilion branch here can not only preemptively acquire and hoard all kinds of treasures, but also vigorously promote the popularity of the Cloud Pavilion. Cloud Pavilion doesn't care about ordinary people, because the items in Cloud Pavilion are simply not affordable for ordinary people, but for real customers, Cloud Pavilion is very attentive!"

"So that's the case, this Cloud Pavilion is really not simple! Swallow girl, you are not simple, you are born to do business!"

Hong Yuan suddenly realized, secretly admired the management of Cloud Pavilion, and also looked up to Zou Haiyan. can explain the business of Cloud Pavilion so clearly, and Zou Haiyan is not simple.

"Our Zou family started by trading in Donghai City, and the family elders have also done a lot of transactions with the Cloud Pavilion. ”

Zou Haiyan paused and said, "Uncle, I found that you are not simple, and you can understand it as soon as you hear it." At the very least, I didn't understand Liang Laosan's fat man seven or eight times, he was lazy and lazy like a pig all day long, and he didn't know how to take over their Liang family's business in the future. According to his current appearance, he is afraid that he will lose all his family wealth in less than three years. ”

Zou Haiyan looked at Liang Laosan, who was sitting in the front row, and shook his head as he spoke, lamenting that the mud couldn't support the wall. The fat man looked at it with a sense in his heart, and he didn't know what Zou Haiyan was talking about, grinning and smirking, and Zou Haiyan was even more speechless.

"Actually, it's nothing if you don't understand, but you can't make money if you understand what the truth is, which makes it even more painful!" Hong Yuan smiled.

"Yes, knowing too much is a pain!"

Zou Haiyan sighed faintly, she seemed to have something on her mind at a young age, and suddenly felt that Hong Yuan's words were quite philosophical, and secretly chewed Hong Yuan's words and lost her mind.

A middle-aged host walked up to the high platform of the auction hall, and with a light knock on the mallet in his hand, the whole auction hall fell silent, and a waiter carefully walked up to the high platform with a tray in his hand. On the tray, a fine strip of red cloth is covered.

Here we go!

What does the so-called cloud flower look like and what kind of magic does it have?

Hong Yuan's eyes widened, quietly waiting for the auction to begin.
