Chapter 41: A Rare Opportunity
Lingyu country is vast, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
The auction is open-air, with a five-storey building with quaint walls, private rooms on the top floor, and an impenetrable auction table in the center of the venue.
At this time, there were few voices.
The prep-makers in the field were preparing to set up the scene when they heard footsteps behind them.
He looked back, and after careful identification, he asked in surprise, "Young Master Ling!" Why are you here so early? ”
Ling Chen smiled slightly, "I'll see how you're prepared." ”
The preparation staff was flattered, "Thank you Ling Gongzi for your concern, everything is ready!" ”
Ling Chen made a reassuring expression, "That's good, where is Elder Qi now?" ”
"Oh! It seems that the old man is still studying alchemy! As he spoke, a helpless look appeared on his face.
"Qi Lao is always like this, he doesn't think about food for alchemy tea, and I don't know if he can go out of the customs to participate in this auction, hey!"
"Please, take me to see it." Ling Chen said kindly.
“...... This, he doesn't like others to enter his room when he is alchemizing. ”
"Don't worry, he won't know that you took me, and he won't blame you."
"That'...... All right. The man reluctantly agreed.
The two made their way to a claustrophobic chamber.
Ling Chen walked in alone.
An old man in ragged clothes was pestle in front of the Dan furnace.
Although the old man was dressed in disarray, he looked like he hadn't taken a bath for a long time, and his hair was messy, as if he had been blown up.
He had a fiery temper, and when he was alert to the fact that someone had broken in, he turned his head away without a good face.
"I didn't say don't bother me, who is so-"
"How are you!" Qi Lao's originally angry gaze became even more angry.
", the old man doesn't want to see you!"
Facing Qi Lao's disgust, Ling Chen sat down on his own like a nobody.
"It's all a day as a teacher, a hundred days as a father, I will always respect you very much, you look like this, it really breaks my heart......
Master. ”
"Don't call me Master! I don't have an apprentice like you, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the son of a mouse can make a hole!
You're not a good thing, just like your father! ”
Ling Chen was not annoyed, he gently rubbed the fine ash from the medicine bottle on the table with his fingertips.
"Master, it seems that you have encountered a bottleneck in the past few days."
Qi Lao's face was annoyed, "It has nothing to do with you!" ”
"How can it have nothing to do with me?" Ling Chen got up, took elegant steps, and put away all the bottles and cans on the table that he had worked hard for many days.
"If you can't refine the last elixir before the auction officially starts, you will lose the bet."
Qi Lao snorted lightly, "If you lose, you lose!" Even if Lao Tzu violates the contract between heaven and earth and suffers from thunder and thunder, he will not continue to help the abuse!
Anyway, I'm an old bone, and I have to die sooner or later! ”
Ling Chen's lightly smiling face finally showed a crack.
However, he quickly put his emotions away.
"Then, I won't bother your old man." Ling Chen got up and pushed the door open, "Good luck." ”
The door closes, and the world is finally quiet.
The old man walked to the table and sat down, and a look of amazement appeared on the old man's face.
"Tianyu Marrow Yuan Dan...... Alas. ”
A leisurely sigh echoed in the small space.
......
At noon, there was a lot of people in Liuyun City.
The princes and nobles of Lingyu Kingdom, wealthy merchants, and ordinary people.
Carriages from other countries and major forces came to the vast waiting area outside the venue.
On the wall of the city wall, which is about ten feet high, two stone dragons are opening their fangs and mouths, as if they will come to life in the next second.
The voices of people came and went, and the crowd came one after another.
"I've been waiting for so many years, and it's finally here!"
"I heard that there was a rare emperor-level spirit weapon last time, I don't know what good things I can meet this time."
"Why don't we make a bet? I'm sure there will be something good in this auction! “
"you, I feel that way too!"
"It's exciting!"
A moment later, a middle-aged man with a resolute face dressed in a bright yellow robe walked out.
This person is the current lord of the Lingyu Country, Xiao Sheng.
Xiao Sheng's breath is calm, his momentum is majestic, and the momentum of the superior person that he naturally carries on his body makes people involuntarily convinced.
He raised his hand slightly, and there was silence all around.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this auction can be selected in a small country, it really makes my small country shine, you have been looking forward to it for a long time, I don't have much to say, I announce now that the auction has officially started, and you can enter!"
"Knock-knock-knock-"
As soon as Xiao Sheng's words fell, with the sound of three bells, the eyes of the stone carving dragon burst out with two sudden blood lights, like a majestic coercion from ancient times, and enveloped the earth like a divine punishment from heaven.
This scene shocked the people present and made people sigh.
"It deserves to be a second-class country, and the heritage is so profound!"
"Seeing this miracle, this trip is not in vain!"
There was an out of place voice.
"Hmph, this kind of little dragon, there is only one divine sense left, and he dares to show off in front of my eyes!"
Chu Liunian stood in the crowd, and after hearing Xiaoice Long's complaint, she subconsciously glanced at Si Ye.
Sure enough, he was staring at his stomach again, as if he could take the Xiaoice Dragon out and beat him violently.
“...... You better say a few words, Si Ye can always sense some abnormalities in my space for some reason, and he should have noticed your words. ”
Chu Liunian used his divine sense to talk to Xiaoice Longdao.
Xiaoice Dragon: "......"
He doesn't even dare to let out a fart now.
"Little Marquis Chu, you are here too!"
At this time, a delicate and heroic female voice came, Chu Liunian heard the prestige, and saw a pair of young men and women walking over holding hands.
Since being defeated by Chu Liunian on stage, Fan Yan's attitude has been much better than before.
Rocher also nodded at Chu Liunian.
Chu Liunian smiled back politely.
"Master Chu, how did you break my magic voice last time?"
Fan Yan has always had doubts about this.
"My magic sound, even Rocher hasn't cracked it."
Her eyes lit up slightly with approval.
Rocher couldn't help but be a little surprised, Yan'er had never looked at herself like this.
He took Fan Yan's hand, "Yan'er, we'd better hurry up, the holy woman is waiting for us." ”
The boy was obviously jealous, but the girl couldn't feel it.
Chu Liunian didn't pay attention to it so much, she kept observing the pupils of the two people.
It's no different from ordinary people, and I can't see anything famous at all.
"Little Marquis?" The girl's puzzled voice pulled back Chu Liunian's thoughts.
Chu Liunian glanced at Luo Che beside the girl, and the loss on the young man's face was obvious.
It turned out to be a drama of 'King Xiang is intentional, and the goddess is ruthless'.
Chu Liunian pursed his lips helplessly, and then smiled lightly and avoided answering, "Master Luo, Miss Fan, if you don't go in, it will be difficult to enter for a while." ”
"Then don't worry." Fan Yan took out a waist card, "You might as well go with us." ”
"Yan'er!" Rocher stopped her a little anxiously, "Don't forget that the Holy Maiden is still here, she doesn't want others to be there." ”
As he spoke, he also realized that his words were a little out of place, and smiled at Chu Liunian a little embarrassedly.
Chu Liunian shook his head very understandingly, indicating that he didn't take it to heart.
Coincidentally, it was Chu Liunian's turn to enter the market at this time.
The guard at the door was obviously shocked for a moment when he saw that the person who came was a pair of purple eyes.
But he quickly calmed down, only with a little more impatience in his tone.
"First floor, East Point." He lowered his head and handed out a piece of paper, his eyelids drooping and he didn't bother to lift it.
"What kind of attitude is this guy who looks down on people?" Fan Yanliu's eyebrows are raised.
When the guards saw that the person was dressed in a special way, and a flute was hanging from their waists, their slack attitude took a 180-degree turn.
"Miss Fan Yan, I didn't know that this was your friend, please forgive me for my sins."
A small episode attracts the attention of those in the queue at the back.
Including Liu Haotian.
When he saw that Fan Yan's girl who had no charm actually stood out for Chu Liunian, he couldn't help but taunt.
"Yo, isn't this Chu Xiaohou? Why do you still have to rely on women to protect you now? ”
Chu Liunian didn't look back, and didn't seem to hear anything.
But she suddenly frowned, covered her nose and said, "Whoever is so immoral, they will smell the smell from afar." ”
Liu Haotian is like a fish in his throat.
"Hahaha!" Fan Yan suddenly laughed, "Little Marquis, you are really interesting, then it is obvious that Young Master Liu is talking." ”
Others couldn't help but feel embarrassed when they heard it, and they didn't know if this little witch really didn't understand or fake, as soon as she said this, Liu Haotian was even more embarrassed.
"Huh." Liu Haotian sneered and tried to alleviate the embarrassment, "Chu Liunian, you will only talk about him left and right, in the face of real power, you are useless." ”
Chu Liunian remembered that it was estimated that the leader of Zhao had not yet climbed the city gate three times, and suddenly wanted to "tease" Liu Haotian.
"Young Master Liu, do you want to make a bet with me?"
"Bet on what?" Liu Haotian was vigilant.
"Just bet...... I can sit on the same level as you. ”
Not to mention Liu Haotian, even Fan Yan and Luo Che felt that Chu Liunian was simply a fool's dream.
"Chu Liunian, are you crazy?"
Liu Haotian's narrowed eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he had reason to suspect that Chu Liunian was cheating again.
This Liu Haotian is a young master anyway, and he really doesn't have the kind of person like Chief Zhao to fool.
Chu Liunian secretly sighed in his heart.
She lowered her eyelashes, as if annoyed by her momentary whims.
"That's it, Young Master Liu, I didn't say it."
Seeing Chu Liunian's posture, Liu Haotian felt itchy in his heart again.
In case of...... Chu Liunian is really faster than his brain this time.
He tentatively asked, "What do you want to bet on?" ”
Chu Liunian's expression was strange, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it because of his face.
Liu Haotian suddenly had a bottom in his heart.
This is a rare opportunity!
