The days passed. The post-war restoration work of Qingyang City has tended to ease, and Zhou Shang was finally able to return after half a month of busyness, and as soon as he got home, he fell asleep for two days and two nights, tired as if he had just fought a vicious battle. In Zhou Shang's words, he is already anxious. According to his own lamentation, every day he had to spend several hours in the city lord's mansion to deal with the documents of all parties, and then spent another half a day to go to various places to supervise the work, check the results, and then verify all kinds of income and expenditure, and finally report to Zhou Yuntian. Every day, you have to be busy for eight hours to rest, and when you wake up, you have to start a new day's work. In the past half a month, it is simply unbearable.

Xue Yi smacked his tongue when he heard it, this week Yuntian was ruthless enough to his own son, and it was really sympathetic to appoint such a heavy workload at the age of only eleven. However, the godson is so strict, and it is also the title of the first day of Zhou Shangqingyang Mountain Range. Otherwise, Zhou Shang would not have reached the strength of the sixth layer of the Spirit Rhino Realm at such an age, and even Xue Yi, who had been through a hundred battles, was not sure to defeat him.

However, due to the fact that Qingyang City was in ruins, Zhou Yuntian did not come back immediately, but continued to stay there to preside over the work. And after Zhou Shang rested for two days, he finally recovered, and only then did he tell Xue Yi a news that should have been conveyed two days ago, that is, the Qingyang auction was about to start.

At first, Xue Yi was unimpressed by the news. Originally, he liked to be quiet, and he didn't like to go to these places that were too noisy, and secondly, he didn't lack anything, and he didn't have any extra money to spend a lot of money with the wealthy and noble sons who participated in the auction. However, Zhou Shang's words made him interested.

"The Qingyang Auction is an annual festival in Qingyang City, in which there are all kinds of curiosities, everything, and there has even been an auction of fourth-order combat skills!"

You must know that the forces around Qingyang City are not only the four major families of Zhou, Muzhuang, and Han, but also dozens and hundreds of forces, large and small. Among them, the more famous ones are the Nine Eagle Sect, the Split Mountain Gate, the Hanqing Sect, the Three Pavilions and so on. Of course, among these forces, the four major families who jointly govern Qingyang City are the leaders. These four families are like four mountains, guarding the four sides of Qingyang City, and also maintaining the order of Qingyang City. Every Qingyang auction, north to Baiyan City, west to Piqiu City, south to Zhouqu City, east to Jinzhong City, all the forces in between will come to participate, take out the rare treasures harvested this year auction, but also compete for all kinds of treasures taken out by the Qingyang auction, this gold content is indeed not low.

"However, if you want to go to such a grand event, you and Uncle Zhou will go, I am poor and white, where to go for sightseeing?"

"Are you stupid, have you forgotten the elixir you entrusted to my father?" Zhou was speechless.

Xue Yi slapped his head. Yes, although I really don't have much cash to sell, those few elixirs are worth a lot of money! As long as I can sell them, I will definitely have a lot of income!

"Before, my father was busy with the affairs of Qingyang City, so he put aside the matter of disposing of those elixirs for a while. It just so happens that there is half a month to go before the opening day of the Qingyang auction, and he asked me to tell you that he wants to take these elixirs to the auction for auction. There are many forces attending the auction, and there will definitely be many people interested in these rare elixirs, so the final auction price will definitely be much higher than the direct sale, and it is estimated that there will be at least a 30% increase. Zhou Shang said with a smile.

"That's good. Xue Yi immediately agreed, of course it was a good thing to be able to sell for more money, "In the end, it is a businessman who has been trained, if it were me, I would never have thought of doing this!"

"Come on, you. If the elixir is auctioned off, you may be able to get a huge sum of more than 200,000 gold coins, which is much richer than my son. What would you like to buy at the auction?"

Xue Yi pondered, but did not answer for a while. When he didn't have money, he felt that everything was dispensable. But since the pockets are bulging, it is natural to convert money into something practical. First of all, some high-level magic crystals and many kinds of materials need to be purchased to start. After studying the magic crystal bomb and thruster in the Yanshi Secret Codex, he realized that if he wanted to make both, he didn't just rely on the heart seal and made it empty-handed. Needless to say, the higher the level of the Magic Crystal, the more powerful the Magic Crystal Bomb will be, and the thruster also needs the Magic Crystal as an energy source. Moreover, the production of "utensils" also requires a variety of auxiliary materials, such as dark iron essence, rohm stone, broken cold steel, etc., and I see a lot of them listed. Melting these hard materials and shaping them into the forms you need is to buy a set of alchemists' outfits. He originally wanted to ask Zhou Yuntian for help with these things, and he could get as many as he could, and he would be able to do it at once. But now, if you have money, you don't have to trouble Zhou Yuntian, and things are more complete. Secondly, he also wanted to buy some low-level but practical combat skills to make up for the lack of his single combat means. Also, it's one or two weapons. With the rise of strength, a second-order battleweapon Blazing Blade has become more and more stretched, and Zhou Shang has seven or eight weapons in his hand. Compared with him, he is a little cold.

Tell Zhou Shang these thoughts. Although Zhou Shang wondered why Xue Yi suddenly wanted to learn alchemy, he didn't get to the bottom of it. However, for Xue Yi's proposal to buy combat skills, he was slapped on the shoulder by Zhou Shang.

"I'll go, there are not enough combat skills in the Library Pavilion for you to see, do you still want to buy them?" Zhou Shang glared.

Xue Yi scratched his head. Yes, now that he has officially become a member of the Zhou family, he is qualified to enter the library pavilion and read it at will. But I'm still a little unaccustomed to it. In the past, Zhou Shang stole books for him from the library cabinet, and his memory of carefully picking up the lamp and reading at night in his house is still fresh.

"Although my identity is different now, I can just enter the Zhou Mansion directly, isn't it okay?" Xue Yi hesitated.

"What are you afraid of? I'll take you there, I'll see who dares to stop you, I'll pick his skin!" Zhou Shang pulled Xue Yi and went straight to the library pavilion.

Xue Yi was helpless. This week's character is to do what he says, and no one can change his mind about what he believes. However, Xue Yi just appreciates his straightforward nature, although sometimes it is a little extreme, but it is valuable in the truth, and there is nothing hidden. Xue Yi has to admit that there is also a hidden side in his character, and there are some things that he will bury deep in his heart and never talk about others. But Zhou Shang would never be like this, and whatever he had in his heart, he would confide in him. At this point, Xue Yi was always a little guilty, but Zhou Shang never cared. What he didn't want to say, he never asked, but he always supported himself unconditionally.

Being born to be a confidant with this kind of person can be regarded as a blessing for three lives.

"I've seen the little boy, Xue Gongzi. At the door of the library pavilion, two middle-aged men saw the two coming, and immediately hugged their fists.

"Good work. Xue Yi and I went in to read some books and take out a few more combat skills to cultivate, no problem, right?" Zhou Shang nodded and said to the two.

The two were stunned and looked at each other, with a hint of hesitation in their eyes.

"Is there any problem?" Zhou Shang's voice was cold.

"When...... Of course, you can, you can. But...... Xue Gongzi came here for the first time, so he shouldn't know the rules of the Library Pavilion, right?" one of them hurriedly said.

"I'm here, don't bother with the two of you. Zhou Shang snorted coldly, pulled Xue Yi and stepped into the gate, leaving the two at the door looking at each other.

When you enter the gate, you will see a large and secluded courtyard. The door behind is actually just the first door. Directly in front, a vermilion two-story building stands quietly, revealing an antique fragrance in the solemn silence. And on the stone steps in front of the door, there was an old man in sloppy clothes lying on the ground, lazily basking in the sun.

"Zhou Mansion Zhou Shang, I have seen the Nine Elders. Just when Xue Yi was wondering what the identity of this old man was, Zhou Shang was secretly pulling Xue Yi. The latter immediately understood, and also bowed respectfully with Zhou Shang.

The old man lay on the ground, opened his eyes slightly, glanced at them, and then waved his hand, as if he didn't even bother to say a word.

"Thank you, Elder!" Zhou Shang saluted again, and then pulled Xue Yi and walked quickly into the library pavilion.
