Chapter 33 The Dragon and the Phoenix Among Men
After discovering that the mountain tiger and the hissing wind beast had woken up, Zhou Hao began to have a plan in his heart.
Although this river boat is comfortable to sit on, the speed is too slow, and the distance traveled by each day is only about two hundred miles, which is less than one-third of the journey of the Hissing Wind Beast.
If this continues, how many years and months will it take to reach the Mixed Yuan Sect?
Moreover, the Hissing Wind Beast already has the strength of a second-rate martial artist, and its speed will definitely be faster than before. If he used the Hissing Wind Beast to travel, Zhou Hao was confident that he would be able to shake off any enemy's pursuit, and naturally he would no longer be afraid of the Nangong family.
The idea was certain, and Zhou Hao was ready to say goodbye to that Gongsun Rong and disembark at the next stop.
Zhou Hao found Gongsun Rong's cabin, knocked lightly on the door, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Gongsun is here?"
As soon as the words fell, the hatch creaked open, and a gray-clothed man stood by the door with his head down, looking at Zhou Hao with a respectful face.
Zhou Hao walked into the warehouse, and at a glance saw Gongsun Rongzheng looking at a catalog with great interest.
Looking up and seeing Zhou Hao, Gongsun Rong said with a smile: "Zhou Xiaoyou, I haven't left home these days, how can I think of sitting here for my brother today?"
Zhou Hao grinned and said, "Brother Gongsun, I'm here to say goodbye!"
Gongsun Rong was slightly stunned and said, "Farewell, where are you going?"
"Of course, I went to the Mixed Yuan Sect, but I no longer took the water route, but I had to take the land route, I'm afraid I can't go with Brother Gongsun!"
Gongsun Rong had just received instructions from Elder Gongsun Fu to test Zhou Hao's strength and potential, and suddenly heard that Zhou Hao was going to leave, so wouldn't his task be unfinished?
Gongsun Rong was secretly anxious in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face: "That's fine! But before leaving, show you something for your brother, Zhou Xiaoyou will definitely be interested." ”
"Oh, what is it?" Zhou Hao was indeed a little curious when he heard him say this.
Gongsun Rong handed over the catalog in his hand and said with a smile: "Look at it, the catalog of the triennial Los Angeles auction at this time." The above is a brief list of the main lots this time, and I believe that there must be something that Zhou Xiaoyou is interested in. ”
Zhou Hao took a look at the catalog, and saw that hundreds of auction items were densely listed on it, in addition to the name of the auction item, there was also a brief introduction and pattern of the lot.
Zhou Hao glanced at it slightly, and was really interested! There are not only all kinds of rare medicinal materials, all kinds of pills to assist in cultivation, all kinds of weapons and equipment, but also talismans, spirit beasts, and spirit weapons auctions!
Among them, Zhou Hao is most interested in rare medicinal materials and talismans!
After taking a 1,500-year-old spirit ginseng, rare medicinal materials were something that Zhou Hao was extremely eager for. As long as there is enough elixir, Zhou Hao is sure enough to reach the peak of a first-class master in a short period of time, and even be able to attack the peak master.
And that talisman is Zhou Hao's extremely curious existence. When he fought with Nangong Qing, he was injured by the sharp gold talisman, if there was no snow silver shield, he would definitely not be able to escape death. Therefore, Zhou Hao was very eager to get a few talismans for his own research.
After carefully reading the two major categories of medicinal materials and talismans, Zhou Hao's eyes swept towards the classification of spiritual weapons. Although he has two spiritual weapons, he has never understood the true use of spiritual weapons, and can only use them like ordinary weapons, which definitely does not exert the maximum power of spiritual weapons.
There are very few lots in the spiritual artifact category, only a few kinds, which shows that even in the top auction in the secular world, this spiritual artifact is extremely rare.
Suddenly, Zhou Hao was firmly attracted by a simple pattern.
This pattern is extremely simple, just a few strokes to outline the outline, there is no peculiarity, but Zhou Hao feels familiar!
This pattern depicts a small cloth bag with a simple style, and the introduction next to it is only a few sentences: the Qiankun bag, which has a mustard seed space inside, and can accommodate all things except living things.
Seeing this, Zhou Hao's heart shook wildly! Isn't this little cloth bag the one he found in the dark hole of the Blood Jiaowu Dock? He has never figured out this mysterious cloth bag, and now it is on his chest.
Thinking of this, Zhou Hao felt a heat in his chest, and the gray and inconspicuous cloth bag seemed to suddenly become extremely heavy, and exuded infinite charm! Zhou Hao couldn't wait to take it out now, compare it carefully, and see if the cloth bag on his chest was really a Qiankun bag.
Looking up at the people around him, Zhou Hao quickly suppressed this thought, and quietly returned the auction catalog to Gongsun Rong.
Then, Zhou Hao grinned and said, "Brother Gongsun, there is really something I'm interested in here." I don't know when and where this auction will be held, and what qualifications do I have to participate in it?"
Gongsun Rong saw that he had successfully aroused Zhou Hao's interest, and he was also happy in his heart: "This auction will be held in Los Angeles ten days later, but it is not easy to participate." At the very least, it must be a three-star VIP of Huangpu Auction House. ”
"What do you mean?" Zhou Hao asked a little dazed.
"Hehe, this is all a money collection method made by the Huangpu family. Guests are divided into different levels, such as normal, one-star, two-star, and even five-star. Ordinary guests who trade more than 1,000 taels of silver are one-star VIPs, more than 10,000 taels are two-star, more than 100,000 taels are three-star, more than 300,000 taels are four-star, and the highest five-star VIP is more than one million taels of transactions. ”
Zhou Hao frowned slightly: "Then I'm not qualified to participate?"
"That's not it! Although the brother is not talented, he represents the Gongsun Courtyard of the Jade Embedded City, and he also has the treatment of a five-star VIP. As long as Zhou Xiaoyou follows as a brother, it will naturally be unimpeded. Gongsun Rong smiled like an old fox at this time.
Zhou Hao lowered his head for a while and pondered, is this risk worth taking?
If you can participate in the auction, with the wealth in your pocket, you should be able to buy a few rare medicinal herbs, and it is not difficult to rush to the top of the first-class. There is also the talisman, and the most important thing is to find out, whether this cloth bag in the arms is a Qiankun bag? If it is a Qiankun bag, how can it be opened?
It seems that there is only one gamble! If you are afraid that the Nangong family will catch up and miss the good opportunity in front of you, then I am afraid that there will be a time when you regret it in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhou Hao secretly gritted his teeth and raised his head to come: "Brother Gongsun, the auction is indeed attractive enough for me, so I can only continue to bother with a shy face!"
Gongsun Rong laughed: "I can't ask for it! It is really a blessing to be able to walk with a dragon and phoenix among people like Zhou Xiaoyou!"
"Brother Gongsun has a good reputation! How can I, Zhou Hao, be worthy of such praise as the dragon and phoenix among people!" Zhou Hao grinned.
"Worthy of it, absolutely worthy of it! With Xiaoyou's peerless exploits in Goryeo, he is definitely worthy of the words dragon and phoenix among people!"
Gongsun Rong said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhou Hao's heart was shocked again!
It seems that the intelligence ability of this Gongsun family is really terrifying! Not only did it take only one day to dig out the matter of killing Nangong Qing and others, but even the old bottom of his own battle in Goryeo was clearly understood by the Gongsun family!
