Volume 1 Clouds Rise Chapter 54 The Golden House
After Wang Hu and Elder Graybeard left, the discussion in the audience still did not stop.
Many old students began to ask the new students about Qin Lu's deeds, and when they learned that Qin Lu was ranked second in the trial, the old students were very surprised.
In their opinion, Qin Lu was able to lock up the three of Wang Hu with his own strength, and his strength should not be underestimated, but the result was only second?
Later, after the addition of others, they suddenly woke up and knew that Qin Lu had killed Yang Zhao, and they also had a big competition with Yang Qingyao and Ye Wenlong twelve days later.
For a while, many people in the audience took out the sound transmission jade slip and passed on the matter about Qin Lu.
Qin Lu didn't pay attention to this, he asked about Wen Yu's injury, and the latter grinned and said, "It's okay, it will heal soon." ”
After saying that, he also shook his arm deliberately, indeed, with the help of that second-grade elixir, the broken bones had been picked up, and they were still getting better quickly.
But Qin Lu still saw a trace of loneliness flashing in Wen Yu's eyes.
Qin Lu didn't say anything, but prepared to leave this place with Wen Yu.
However, as soon as he was about to leave, he noticed that more than a dozen people had gathered around, including both new and old students.
His eyes froze, blocking in front of Wen Yu, "What's the matter?" ”
Seeing that he was on guard, an old student hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't, we're not here to find fault, but we have a business I want to talk to the two junior brothers." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Doesn't the junior brother have ten retinue places in his hands? Ahem, what about me, I want to buy it at a high price, and I also ask my junior brother to give face. ”
Wen Yu raised his eyebrows, "High-priced acquisition? How much do you come out. ”
The old student glanced left and right, then leaned into Wen Yu's ear and whispered a number, but Wen Yu immediately shouted loudly: "Twenty-five, so little?!" ”
"Hey, junior brother, don't shout ......"
Lao Sheng was in a hurry, but before he could stop him, several people rushed over.
"Brother Wen, don't listen to him cheating you, in the sect, anything can be exchanged for contribution points, especially this retinue quota, it is particularly difficult to deal with, generally only at a certain time, a few will be taken out as a reward distribution, I will give thirty contribution points!"
"Thirty? You send beggars! I'm out of forty! ”
Everyone was gossiping, all kinds of offers, and in just a few breaths, the value of the retinue rose to seventy points.
Even a large group of people gathered around Qin Lu and began to bid against each other.
During this period, Qin Lu learned that these people who wanted quotas were all from different forces, and as for the so-called retinue, they were actually the children of those families whose talents were not so outstanding in various families.
They failed to achieve good results in the city assessment, so they had no choice but to let those who passed the assessment cooperate with the outside and use the entourage quota to bring them into the Yunqi Sect.
That's why retinue slots are so valuable.
"No wonder, that Wang Hu blackmailed Wen Yu not for contribution points, but for the number of followers."
Qin Lu thought to himself.
"I'll give one hundred and fifty contribution points, and I ask my junior brother to sell me a face."
At this time, a hearty voice came from the crowd behind.
Immediately afterward, a blonde man walked slowly, and everywhere he passed, everyone around him felt that he had moved out of the way.
The man is handsome, with an angular face, a faint smile, and an elegant temperament in his gestures.
Although he was wearing an ordinary disciple's uniform, his belt was inlaid with rings, and each ring was a rare treasure, and his shoes were even more extraordinary, they were woven with a precious spiritual material called fire silk, which was invulnerable to fire and water, and was extremely light.
As soon as this person came out, many old students in the field showed a little helplessness on their faces.
"You are?"
Qin Lu asked.
The blond-haired man smiled, "My name is Sun Haiquan, and I'm from the Golden House. ”
The three words of the Golden House resounded in the field like a thunderbolt from a sunny day, especially the freshmen who were watching not far away, all of whom showed shocked expressions.
Around Qin Lu, he couldn't help but move in his heart.
In the Great Feather Dynasty, if there is any force with the most financial resources, it is the Golden House.
The Golden House is involved in a variety of industries, the most famous of which is the buying and selling of spiritual materials and intelligence, and there is a saying: as long as you have money, you can buy anything in the Golden House.
And the influence of the Golden House is very great, not only the Great Feather Dynasty, but even other countries also have branches of the Golden House, saying that the Golden House is rich and rivals the country, it is by no means an empty word.
"One hundred and fifty points, that's a little less."
Wen Yu had naturally heard of the name of the Golden House, but in terms of the momentum just now, I am afraid that the price of the entourage quota will continue to rise.
"It's a little little, but people probably won't bid anymore."
Sun Haiquan said softly.
Wen Yu's face changed, and sure enough, those who were still very excited just now consciously took a step back and took the initiative to give up their position to Sun Haiquan.
"You're here to find fault?"
Wen Yu said in a deep voice.
"Senior brother, don't get me wrong, generally speaking, the price of the entourage quota is about two hundred, but if you want to take out so many contribution points at once, I'm afraid there are not many people, not to mention, they all know that bidding with me will generally not have a chance of winning."
Sun Haiquan didn't have any smugness, on the contrary, his expression was very serious, which made Wen Yu's resentment in his heart a little less.
"Two, why don't you take a step to speak?"
Sun Haiquan made a gesture of please.
Wen Yu looked at Qin Lu, who nodded, "Anyway, we don't need to take the quota, it's good if we can sell it all at once." ”
Hearing this, Sun Haiquan said sincerely: "Don't worry, our Golden House never takes advantage of guests, if you sell me a place, I will compensate you from another aspect." ”
Soon after, the trio left the crowd and came to a more secluded lakeside.
I saw that with a wave of Sun Haiquan's right hand, an invisible semicircle enveloped the three of them, isolating all perceptions and preventing sound from leaking.
"What compensation?"
Wen Yu went straight to the point.
Sun Haiquan smiled slightly, and took out two golden tickets from the ring, which depicted a splendid mansion, and the plaque of the house was engraved with the words "Golden House".
"Six days later, the Golden House will hold a grand auction outside the Yunqi Sect, this auction will contain all kinds of curiosities, and with this ticket, the two of you can participate directly at that time."
"Auctions? I don't need anything. ”
Wen Yu pouted.
Sun Haiquan was noncommittal, and said, "Maybe Senior Brother Qin is in need?" I have already heard about Senior Brother Qin's battle contract with Yang Qingyao and Ye Wenlong twelve days later, with all due respect, with Senior Brother Qin's current strength, no matter against any of them, there will be no chance of victory. ”
Hearing this, Wen Yu and Qin Lu both fell silent.
Especially Qin Lu, he knew very well how strong Yang Qingyao and Ye Wenlong were, although when he was in the Five Elements Mountain, he had also forced Yang Qingyao back, but it was because Yang Qingyao was seriously injured and it was difficult to fight again, so he would leave.
If Yang Qingyao was at his peak, even if Qin Lu cultivated the Five Elements Body, he would not be the opponent of the former.
"Twelve days is a very short time, but if there are some adventures, it can also make people's strength increase by leaps and bounds, Senior Brother Qin, this may be an opportunity for you."
Sun Haiquan's words seemed to contain infinite magic power, and after Qin Lu heard it, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"But what if we don't have the money?"
Wen Yu asked suddenly.
Sun Haiquan smiled, "Then you need to solve it on your own, but I can explain one thing, just this ticket is worth at least a thousand contribution points outside." ”
"Really?!"
Wen Yu's eyes widened.
"The Golden House is based on integrity."
Sun Haiquan said with a determined face.
"Why did you give it to us if it's so valuable?"
Qin Lu asked.
Sun Haiquan stared at Qin Lu and said with a smile: "Because I have taken a fancy to Senior Brother Qin's potential, if one day in the future, Senior Brother Qin can become the peak of martial arts, my choice today will be extremely correct." ”
Qin Lu looked directly at the other party, and Sun Haiquan's face did not wave.
After a while, Qin Lu nodded, "Deal." ”
Hearing this, Sun Haiquan's smile was even bigger.
"Where's Senior Brother Wen?"
"Come on, come on, deal."
Next, Sun Haiquan first handed the ticket to Qin Lu and the others, and then took out the identity token and touched it lightly with the token of Qin Lu and the others.
Qin Lu took the token and looked at it, it showed that his contribution points had reached 1,550 points, and the original ten retinue quotas had been cleared.
"The coupon comes with the treasures of this auction, Senior Brother Qin can take a look to see if there is anything he is interested in, and prepare the funds in advance. As a reminder, the auction is not necessarily all about jade, and sometimes there will be bartering when encountering some special curiosities. ”
Sun Haiquan smiled gently: "Finally, I wish Senior Brother Qin can stand out in the outer gate competition." ”
After speaking, Sun Haiquan left the lakeside.
Soon after, Qin Lu and Wen Yu also left, and came to their residence half an hour later.
It is a lush and wide bamboo forest, which looks like a sea of green from a distance, and sometimes the wind rises, and the bamboo leaves sway like waves, which is quite spectacular.
There is a courtyard in every large area of the bamboo forest, and all the new students live in each courtyard, although there are many people, but each courtyard is far apart and is sheltered by dense bamboo, which guarantees seclusion from each other.
When you open the courtyard door, you can see a bamboo house with a green body.
The interior of the house is clean and tidy, the decoration is simple, there are no superfluous utensils, but the necessary rooms have been arranged, such as the martial arts room, the retreat room, the alchemy room, etc.
To Qin Lu's surprise, the courtyard was actually shrouded in a small magic circle, which could form a shield to shield the perception of the outside world, etc., and the formation diagram was integrated into the identity token, allowing the magic circle to be manipulated.
"Not bad."
After testing the effectiveness of the magic circle, Qin Lu also let out a sigh of admiration.
Here, he could cultivate with peace of mind, even if someone wanted to break in, unless he forcibly broke through the magic circle, it would be impossible to set foot in the courtyard for half a step.
Coincidentally, Wen Yu's yard is located next door to Qin Lu's yard.
"Hey, whose yard is there?"
Wen Yu pointed to the bamboo forest on the right.
Qin Lu shook his head, indicating that he was not interested.
After sitting in Qin Lu's bamboo hut for half an hour, Wen Yu returned to his courtyard.
Qin Lu did not hesitate and walked straight to the retreat room in the house.
