Chapter Twenty-Seven: Anjiang City
Zhou Yi naturally understood the true intentions of the store owner. As the shopkeeper himself said, he was just the shopkeeper of an armory shop arranged by his lord in Xianyuan City, but he was not the core figure of it.
In other words, even if Zhou Yi sold the news of Xianyuan to his lord, his lord would never give the news to the shopkeeper, Zhou Yi guessed that once he learned the news of Xianyuan, the first thing his lord did was to contact the major forces and sell the news of Xianyuan to them at a high price.
Since he couldn't get the news of Xianyuan, and he learned the whereabouts of Xianyuan from Zhou Yi's mouth, then the shopkeeper returned a day earlier, so he could spread the news one day earlier, and at that time, while the major forces had not moved, he could sell it for a good price. It is conceivable that once the news of Xianyuan is known by the major forces, then this news will be worthless.
However, what Zhou Yi couldn't understand was that since someone had spread the news that Xianyuan had gone to the northwest to find treasures, why didn't the owner of the armory shop know about it? After thinking about it, there may be only one explanation that is most reasonable, that is, this boss has never gone out from beginning to end, and most of the news he got was obtained from above, that is, from his lord in Anjiang City.
Since all the money he spent had already returned, there was no need for Zhou Yi to block the way of the shopkeeper to make money, so he agreed at the moment and entered Anjiang City with him.
Anjiang City is one of the famous cities in the Apocalypse Continent, it can be said that in addition to the location of the major forces, there is only one Anjiang City in the Apocalypse Continent, which can be comparable to the city where the major forces are located. Here, there are many high-rise buildings, all kinds of merchants gather here, and the streets are bustling with people, and if there is not a separate road for horse-drawn carriages, I am afraid that if you have to go from the east gate to the west gate, you will not be able to walk in half a day.
"It is said that Anjiang City has five immortal cities, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary!" Zhou Yi sighed in his heart, this Anjiang City is worthy of its name, and one of them can take out a family at will, I am afraid that it is not comparable to the Zhou family and the Mu family.
The shopkeeper was familiar with the road, and took Zhou Yi to drive on the carriageway, and after a while, he came to the door of a auction house called Anjiang, and sure enough, it was not time to hold the lights!
"This is one of my owner's properties, one of the best auction houses in the Apocalypse Continent, Anjiang Auction House!" The shopkeeper dismounted, walked to the door with Zhou Yi, took out a waist card from the money bag and handed it to the little guy at the door, and then whispered a few words in front of the little guy, and saw the little guy turn around and go inside.
"Uncle, please inside!" The owner of the store beckoned Zhou Yi into the store, went all the way to the second floor, and sat in a specially decorated private room.
Zhou Yi was shocked, from the little guy at the door to the subordinate who served tea, his cultivation was all above him! If you look at the scale of this auction house alone, even if the Zhou family is combined, it may not be the opponent of this auction house.
Fortunately, Zhou Yi is also everyone's son, and he is also calm about this kind of treatment, picking up the teacup, opening the lid and lifting the tea leaves, the tea fragrance is overflowing, just smell it, it is refreshing!
"Good tea!" Zhou Yi couldn't help but admire, even if it was the best tea in the Zhou family, it was nothing more than that!
"The head of my family has a lot of money, and this tea is just for entertaining ordinary guests. While the shopkeeper was talking, there was a sound of footsteps, Zhou Yi followed the reputation, but saw the little guy at the door knocking on the door and entering: "The Lord is in the inner hall on the seventh floor, please go up to this Taoist friend." β
"Well, okay!" the shopkeeper got up and said respectfully: "Uncle, you can go with this big brother, and the villain will leave." β
"Oh, won't you go up with me?"
"Uncle doesn't know, this is the rule of our Anjiang Auction House, above the fourth floor, you are not allowed to enter. And this seventh floor, usually only the people around my lord can go, if it weren't for this big brother with the master's token, the trespasser would be a dead end!" The shopkeeper replied truthfully, and seeing Zhou Yi nodding, he slipped out of the auction house and returned to Xianyuan City.
"This fellow Daoist, please upstairs!" The little guy led Zhou Yi all the way to the sixth floor, and just when Zhou Yi was about to walk to the seventh floor, he was blocked by the little guy: "Daoist friend be careful, there are seals every step on the seventh floor, once you make a mistake, it will be ten thousand arrows, even if it is a mysterious spirit, you may not be able to survive under the fire of ten thousand arrows." β
Hearing this, Zhou Yi hurriedly retracted his steps, and followed the little guy to walk up cautiously, silently noting down the pace and sequence as he walked, but before he reached the corner of the seventh floor, he heard the little guy speak: "Daoist friends follow closely, every time someone goes upstairs, the seal here will change places, if it is not for the people around the lord to lead the way, no one can get down." β
"Damn, there are really masters here!" Just when Zhou Yi was surprised, Gu Nianzhen's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Boy, the price will be higher later, such a rich gold owner has opened such a big auction house, who will he slaughter if he doesn't slaughter?!"
Zhou Yi nodded silently when he heard this, and followed the little guy up to the seventh floor.
"Daoist friend is here for a while, I'll go to announce, and I'll come over to lead Daoyou over later. At this moment, the little guy stopped and instructed Zhou Yi: "Fellow Daoist must be careful, the corridor and every room on the seventh floor are covered with seals like stairs, if Daoist friends walk around at will, if they are not careful, they will touch the mechanism, and when the time comes, even the immortals will be difficult to save." β
"I know, I'll wait here for you to come back. Zhou Yi nodded, saw the little guy leave, and looked at the Anjiang Auction House.
The seventh floor is the penultimate floor of Anjiang Auction House, and there are two floors above, I don't know who it is for. Looking down from the railing on the seventh floor, you can see the auction house in full view. And if you look up, you can't see anything on the eighth and ninth floors, only an empty piece.
"It's really sealed everywhere here, but the mechanism is a little naΓ―ve, it's okay to prevent thieves below the Xuanling Realm, if you meet a master, this is also a scum!" Just as Zhou Yi was looking around, Gu Nianzhen heard in his ears again: "But this is also the strongest person I have ever seen on this continent, if we can get their help, our future road should be very easy!"
However, Zhou Yi didn't dare to answer, because Gu Nianzhen warned him that there were masters here, and even the slightest voice could be spied on by the masters.
"Fellow Daoist, please come here. At this moment, the little guy went and returned, led Zhou Yi to the innermost room on the seventh floor, pushed the door in, and as a result, to Zhou Yi's surprise, this room was empty!
