Chapter 70: The Jade Qilin Auction House
Long Yuan had no idea what was happening in the villa, and he and Qi Meiran Jing Chiyue went to the southeast of Yueyang City. Along the way, Jing Chiyue was full of joy, and praised Long Yuan for being sensible again and again, and almost hugged him and kissed him.
"I'll take you over to find the person in charge later, you can play in it slowly, just give me the money from the sale of the rhizomes of Qiqi grass, I have to go back and calculate how much I have now." Jing Chiyue said to Long Yuan.
"Fourth Senior Brother, aren't you going to have a big meal with us?" Long Yuan asked.
"Forget it, we don't understand the world of profiteers, let's eat. Qi Meiran teased.
Jing Chiyue laughed dryly, and didn't care about Qi Meiran's mockery, and ordered the two of them to put on the cloak they were carrying and then led the two into a magnificent building.
The building has a sense of luxury and magnificence, with generous dΓ©cor and elaborate veneration. The vermilion wall is to be deva, the gold-lacquered double lions stand in front of the entrance, two guards stand on the side of the door, and a red carpet is paved with steps until the door is a foot in front of the door.
This is the auction place in Yueyang City, the Jade Qilin Auction House. The Jade Qilin Auction House is the most famous auction house within a hundred miles radius of Yueyang City, which is jointly controlled by the Xue family, the Yang family, and the Ouyang family, the three major forces in Yueyang City.
The forces of these three families only have a lot of influence around Yueyang City, and they can only be regarded as second-rate forces in the entire empire, and such forces are originally not capable of opening an auction house, because opening an auction house not only requires huge financial resources, but also requires a wide range of contacts, simply put, whether they can find someone to help the town.
However, the three families in Yueyang City are not worried about the problems of the town, because Longyin Villa is in Yueyang City, although Longyin Villa is a tiger sleeping on its head, but who dares to make trouble near its habitat?
Even the local forces of Yueyang City, Xue, Yang, and Ouyang, only developed in the southeast of Yueyang City, and did not dare to break the tranquility in the northwest corner. Therefore, since the three auction houses opened, the interception of goods and swallowing money has never happened, and it is precisely for this reason that people from many other surrounding cities also like to come to the Yueyang City auction house to trade items.
After the three of them entered the entrance, there was a magnificent hall in front of them, the hall was golden and brilliant, everywhere was brilliant, the beams and pillars were carved with dragons and phoenixes, the black turtles and cranes, the walls were framed with silver hook iron paintings, and the wonderful pen was danqing. The layout is comparable to that of a foreign embassy in the Empire.
"Don't look at it, I haven't seen the world. Let's go, go find the Fire Eye. Jing Chiyue saw Long Yuan and Qi Meiran looking around and urged.
"What is Fire Eye?" Long Yuan had never heard of this word, so he didn't know what it meant.
"Fire Eye is the name of those who identify treasure experts, and your fourth senior brother is also a Fire Eye. Jing Chiyue explained with a smile.
Jing Chiyue took Long Yuan and the others into the Zhen Bao Pavilion on the side of the hall, and after opening the curtain, they saw a table furnished in the room, and a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old was holding a crystal convex mirror and playing with a jade wrench on the table.
"Ahem......" Jing Chiyue coughed and said, "Fire Eye, we need to auction items." β
Huoyan put down the work at hand, looked up at the three of them, rolled his eyes, and said in his heart: "These three people are not that old." Still, he smiled at the three of them and greeted them with a warm face. If an important guest is dissatisfied with his service and reports it to his boss, he will lose his job and compensate the auction house for the loss. So even if Fireeye was a little reluctant in his heart, he couldn't show it.
"If you need to auction items here, please give me the auction items to be screened and judged to be valuable. What do you three want to auction?"
"Seven Seven Grass. β
"Qiqi grass, okay, trouble you...... What, Qiqi Grass!" Huoyan said habitually, but before he could finish this sentence, he reacted, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes. Long Yuan nodded.
"Masters, please wait a moment, I'll go and call the chief to come. Huoyan was polite to the three of them, poured tea and poured water, took three steps and made two steps, opened the curtain and went out.
"Master Feng, this time the Yang family seems to have made up their minds to annex the share of the fighting arena that belongs to our two families, I don't know what the Xue family plans to do about this. β
In a pavilion, a woman in a crimson palace robe sits on a stone bench and opens her mouth lightly, her voice is graceful and beautiful, just like the gurgling of a clear spring, and the voice is wonderful. The woman is tall and graceful, holding a fragrant tea and sniffing it in front of Qiong's nose. A pair of phoenix eyes looked at the middle-aged man sitting opposite.
"Hehe, Miss Manyu, we don't talk darkly. In recent years, the Yang family has had contact with some sects in the Xuanmen Sect, and has been supported by them, and now they have invited a loose cultivator from the Spirit Realm as a guest. Even if your Ouyang family joins forces with our Xue family, it will not be the opponent of the Yang family, and if we relax in the distribution of the share of the fighting arena, I am afraid that it will not be long before the auction hall will also become the forbidden side of his Yang family. β
"What does Master Feng mean?" Manyu took a sip of tea, her gaze meeting that of Master Feng.
"Each took out the things of the town clan in the family, and used this as a condition to recruit people in the martial arts. Master Feng said lightly.
Man Yudai's eyebrows folded slightly, and said: "Cultivating people in martial arts is a bottomless pit, and how can the things of the town clan be easily taken out and given to people, and we can't afford to raise them with our strength." β
"When you look at it, you need to look at it, the Yang family is a second-rate force, Xuanmen has no reason to pay more attention to it, we just need to work together to consume it, with the combined financial resources and power of our Xue family and the Ouyang family, I believe that the Yang family will definitely not be able to consume it. At that time, they will not be able to support the martial artists who are loose cultivators, and they will inevitably lose this disciple, and there will be no need for our side to continue to worship at that time. Originally, the three families became a strong trend, and they all made money, since his Yang family was not greedy enough, if we don't suppress it, it will eventually be a disaster in the future. If the Yang family is really ready to kill this time, in order for the family to survive, our Xue family will consider looking for a killer organization. Master Feng took a sip of tea, and a cold glint shot out of his eyes.
Manyu was slightly stunned when she heard this, although she didn't say it, but she knew in her heart that there were a few killer organizations in the world who dared to enter Yueyang City? Some time ago, the killer organization was said to have a great friendship with the deans inside and outside before venturing into Yueyang City, and I am afraid that all the killer organizations were unwilling to step into Yueyang City.
Because two hundred years ago, when Ling Jiutian was driven out of the mountain villa by his master Chopin to temper his training, many killer organizations had done it against him. Later, Chopin settled the score, and none of the killer organizations that had done it survived. At that time, the rest of the killer organization was all frightened, the killer was someone else's nightmare, and they didn't expect that one day they would also fall into a nightmare.
It is rumored that when Chopard entered the killer organization, he didn't do anything at all, and everywhere he looked, everyone exploded into blood foam. So even killers who are accustomed to licking blood from the knife edge feel instinctive fear of this kind of person.
The impact of that incident was extremely huge, and the rest of the killer organizations were all talking about the dragon's color change, and they were glad that they hadn't done anything to Ling Jiutian. At that time, the only remaining killer organizations had reached a consensus: if they wanted to pass through Yueyang City, they would take a detour.
Manyu took another sip of tea, and was thinking about how to deal with the future situation when the fiery eye came to the outside of the pavilion.
"Manyu is in charge. The Eye of Fire sang to Manyu from afar.
"What's the matter?" asked Manyu.
Huoyan looked at Master Feng, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
"Master Feng is a cooperative friend of our Ouyang family, so there is no need to shy away from it. β
"There are people in Zhen Bao Pavilion...... To auction the seven-seven grass. Fireeye said.
Syllable.
The blue and white cup in Manyu's hand fell from her hand and shattered.
"Ahem......" Master Feng heard this, and was choked on the tea he had just entered.
"Seven Seven Grass?" Manyu asked, standing up from the stone bench, a little incredulous. Qiqi grass is an extremely rare medicinal material, and the effect of prolonging life alone is enough to make the royal family and nobles in the world rush to it, and who is willing to take it out for auction.
"Principal, I heard that the guest said that he didn't dare to call the shots when he wanted to auction Qiqi grass, so I came to invite you over, as for the truth or falsehood, I don't know. Fireeye explained to Manyu.
"Well, I'll go take a look. β
"Miss Manyu, don't mind if the old man goes with you. Master Feng said with a smile.
"Where is Master Feng, the auction hall is jointly opened by the three of us, and the little woman has a little means to deal with people and things is pushed by the three to be the main thing, that's all. Please ask Master Feng to go with Manyu to have a look. β
Not long after, Master Man Yufeng and Huoyan rushed to Zhen Bao Pavilion.
As soon as Manyu entered the Zhen Treasure Pavilion, she saw the three of Long Yuan wearing cloaks, and her brows furrowed imperceptibly. Although the three of them were covered in cloaks and couldn't see each other, she could feel that the three of them didn't seem to be very old.
It turned out that among the three, only Jing Chiyue was the height of an adult, Qi Meiran was slightly worse, and Long Yuan was a teenager. In addition, the three of them are not burly, and they lack some manly spirit, so with the eyes of Manyu's countless people, I guessed that the three of them should not be as good as the weak crown.
"Three guests, are you going to auction it? I am the chief here, Manyu, this is Master Feng, and one of the people at the helm here. Manyu Tan's mouth opened slightly, and her voice was soft and glutinous, making people feel sweet and greasy.
Long Yuan had seen Manyu in the fighting arena before, and he had several encounters, and when he saw Master Feng behind Manyu, he wanted to say hello, but he felt that it was out of place, so he didn't say anything.
However, Qi Meiran had never seen Manyu, and he stayed in place after seeing Manyu for the first time, and an organ in his body thumped violently.
Jing Chiyue said kindly: "Exactly, we want to auction two leaves and one rhizome of Qiqi grass. β
Manyu and Master Feng were stunned for a moment when they heard this, these three people actually wanted to auction two leaves and one rhizome of Qiqi grass. They originally thought that it was just an auction of one leaf, after all, the seven-seven grass was really too precious, and a leaf was hard to find.
"I wonder if you can take out the auction items for us to appraise. Manyu took away the surprise on her face and smiled.
"Wow. Qi Meiran grabbed the box in Long Yuan's hand and handed it to Manyu.
After taking it, Manyuyu opened it, and the whole room suddenly shone with blue light, and a rich medicinal fragrance escaped.
"It's really notoginseng grass. The fire eye leaned up and saw that the two leaves on the emerald rhizome in the box had mysterious patterns on them, and there were seven points of light on them, which were introverted and restrained, which were no different from the shape of the seven-seven grass, so he spoke.
Master Feng also came closer, and nodded after listening to Huoyan's words. Immediately, he approached Manyu gently, covered up with his hand on his beard, and whispered to her, "Don't let anyone know about this." β
As soon as Manyu's eyes moved, she guessed what Master Feng meant. These two leaves and rhizomes are even more enticing than their Clan Treasures, not in value, but in function. Not to mention the people in the Xuanmen, the martial artists who are scattered will inevitably take a fancy to the longevity of the leaves of the Qiqi grass. If these two leaves and a rhizome could be privately negotiated with these three to take them in their hands, then even if the Yang family had a martial artist who was a casual cultivator as a guest, they would be able to deal with it easily.
