Chapter 772: Auction (2)

"It's just a gesture!"

Huo Xuan refused, with his identity, how could he ask for the other party's immortal stone. The big man was very stubborn and forced Huo Xuan to accept it, otherwise he would be uneasy and would not be able to repay the kindness of saving his son.

Huo Xuan couldn't shirk it, so he could only accept it head-on, the two low-grade immortal stones were not worth mentioning to him, but the other party's low-level identity may already be all his belongings.

"Where did these people come from? They are not small, they are not afraid to harness beasts in the city, and they are not afraid of the law enforcement team asking for their crimes?" Huo Xuan asked. The big man looked helpless, and sighed: "Brother wants to come and is not a native of Tiantai City, do you know, since the news that Xuanhuo Ji is going to hold a large-scale auction, all the big forces of the Tianyu Immortal family gathered and poured into Tiantai City to participate in this grand event, just now those guys, all of them are from big forces, and many of their elders are said to be strong people of golden immortals compared to Tiantai adults, come to Tiantai City, all day long, when the street beasts collide or a trivial matter, a few days ago I also gambled for fun, gathered in the city to fight, and regarded the city rules as nothing!"

"The law enforcement team in the city doesn't just ask?" Huo Xuan asked again. He had heard from his subordinates about this situation, and it was said that it had been reined in, but he never thought that it had not changed much now.

"Who can control them!"

The big man shook his head, lowered his voice and said to Huo Xuan: "A few days ago, the law enforcement team took down a few people, and as a result, it attracted the Golden Immortal powerhouse to ask the teacher, if it weren't for the two deputy city lords coming in time, I'm afraid that the law enforcement hall would be demolished alive...... However, later, Lord Tiantai personally appeared, and his supernatural powers were displayed, warning and deterring. Only then did the forces of all parties rein in and began to restrain their subordinates from causing trouble. ”

At this point, he paused for a moment and continued: "The security situation in the city has improved greatly in the past few days, and you also saw the situation just now, brother, these two ancestors hit and injured people, and finally took out the fairy stone to pay compensation, before they were replaced, let alone hurt people." Even if you kill someone, you won't even apologize!"

Huo Xuan nodded. You can see it. The current water in Tiantai City is deep enough, although there are three strong Jinxian powerhouses in Tiantai Sanren, the security situation in the city is still bad, and the reason for this is that. Or a gathering of forces from all sides. There were quite a few Golden Immortal powerhouses coming. The Tiantai people also felt scruples and did not want to offend lightly.

"Speaking of which, it's all about strength. If it were a grand event held by the Heavenly Palace, I would expect that these guys would all be people with their tails between their legs, and they would not dare to take offense!"

Huo Xuan thought to himself. After the establishment of his own immortal city, he will spend a lot of effort to build a law enforcement team to maintain order in the city, so that law enforcement is strict and everyone is equal.

"Brother, look at your appearance, if I guess correctly, you are also going to the Xuanhuo Trading House to apply for a miscellaneous service!" The big man patted his chest, quite proud, and said: "Although I, Li Du, am not from this city, I have lived here for hundreds of years, and I have formed some connections, and now I have two friends who make a living in the Xuanhuo Trading Company, although they are only miscellaneous laborers, they have a salary of ten immortal stones per month, and the salary is extremely high, far from being comparable to other merchants." ”

At this point, he glanced at Huo Xuan deeply, nodded and said: "Brother, brother I have opened the door, and I am preparing to apply for a job, if my brother doesn't dislike it, let's go together, if you can enter the Xuanhuo Commercial Bank to get an errand, you don't have to worry about practicing in the future!"

His words were very sincere, but in Huo Xuan's ears, he couldn't cry or laugh.

was about to resign, but who expected that the big man named Li Du was enthusiastic and grateful, taking into account Huo Xuan's face, he was afraid that he would be embarrassed to go with him, so he directly dragged him away.

The boy also grabbed the corner of Huo Xuan's clothes and refused to let go, so Huo Xuan was driven by the father and son to put the ducks on the shelves, and was dragged to the gate of the Xuanhuo Commercial Bank. Tiantai City, the headquarters of Xuanhuo Ji and the Xuanhuo Commercial Bank are in the east of the city, one in the south of the city, not in one place, in front of the Xuanhuo Commercial Bank in the south of the city, there are a sea of people at this moment, all of them are low-level scattered immortals, come to apply.

Holding an auction requires handymanship, so the Xuanhuo Trading House recruits people externally, gives generous treatment, and those who are good will have the opportunity to officially enter the Xuanhuo Trading House after the auction. Therefore, after the recruitment notice was posted, there was a sensation in the city, and they flocked to apply.

Huo Xuan didn't know about the application conditions, these were trivial things, how could he meddle. After arriving, Li Du and his son took him to walk around the crowd, and soon came to the side gate of the Xuanhuo Commercial Bank, where there was already a man and a woman, and two scattered immortals waiting.

"Brother Li, why didn't you come until now?"

Among them, the male immortal, about thirty years, is a human immortal with five qualities of cultivation, although the dress is shabby, the person looks quite energetic, and when he sees Li Du, he complains endlessly.

"Come, Brother Qin, these two are my friends, I'll introduce you to you!"

On the way here, Huo Xuan reported to his home and took the name of Qin Huo. At this moment, Li Du took his hand and stepped forward to introduce the man and woman. The male fairy's name is Huang Lin, and the female fairy's name is Huang Qi, they are two brothers and sisters, both of whom are local immortals in Tiantai City, who have practiced for hundreds of years, advanced to human immortals, and become scattered immortals. By coincidence, they met Li Du, had a good temperament, and have been dating each other and regarded them as friends.

"Qin Daoyou, it's polite!"

The Huang brothers and sisters were very polite and nodded at Huo Xuan. Huo Xuan smiled and returned the salute.

Li Du immediately told the two friends what happened on the street, and then his face turned straight and said: "Brother Qin saved Xiao Meng's life, there is no way to repay him, Li is here to ask the two of you to bring Brother Qin to introduce you to the door!"

"This ......" the Huang brothers and sisters had a difficult face. They are just ordinary miscellaneous servants of the Xuanhuo Trading Bank, and it has taken a lot of trouble to introduce Li Du to the trading house, and now they have to bring one more, which is naturally very reluctant.

"Brother Li, the deacon we climbed up has a strange temperament and is very difficult to speak...... Before, my brother and sister said all the good things to him, and they also paid tribute to twenty immortal stones, so he had his approval to get a miscellaneous place for Brother Li, and now, if you bring Qin Daoyou...... That deacon will definitely not agree!" Huang Lin said the difficulty. Huo Xuan originally planned to take the opportunity to say goodbye, but when he heard that the 'Lord Deacon' in the mouth of the Huang brothers and sisters actually used the recruitment of miscellaneous servants to make profits from it, a trace of anger flashed on his face.

"Need twenty immortal stones for filial piety?" Li Du never thought of it, in order to find an errand for himself. The two friends spent so much.

"This is just the first period of filial piety, when you gain a firm foothold, officially seek a long-term difference in the firm, and you have to take out forty percent of your salary every month to pay filial piety, otherwise, the deacon will point out a mistake at will, and you will be swept away!" Huang Qi said beside him, full of unspoken rules within the firm.

"The Xuanhuo Trading Bank has a good salary, and even if it takes out forty percent of the filial piety, there are still six immortal stones in the account every month. Compared with other families, the treatment is much more generous!" Huang Lin said with a smile: "If you do a good job." is favored and appreciated by the people above, and there is also a chance to get rid of miscellaneous labor and become a formal member of the firm, until then. The salary is said to be much higher than those immortal officials in the Heavenly Palace!"

That's it. The Huang brothers and sisters are all hopeful. The same is true for Li Du, his face full of yearning. Huo Xuan saw it in his eyes and sighed secretly in his heart. For these scattered immortals who live at the bottom of the immortal world, it is unimaginable to be able to enter the Xuanhuo Trading House as a miscellaneous servant.

Xuanhuo Ji is now a big family, with a strong heritage, and there are as many as 10 million internal personnel alone, most of whom are recruited scattered immortals, and a small number of personnel are poisonous immortals bred by the poisonous mother.

Those recruited scattered immortals, obviously, the good and the bad are mixed, otherwise there would not be a bad act of using the recruitment of miscellaneous servants to profit from it. Thinking of this, a flash of anger flashed in Huo Xuan's eyes, the Xuanhuo Ji was established by him with great effort, and he would never allow the bad sheep to ruin the reputation of the business house.

"It must be punished severely!"

He didn't think much about it, but he stepped forward and walked in through the side door of the comptoir.

"Qin Daoyou, the commercial bank is important, and outsiders are not allowed to enter and leave at will...... What are you?" the Huang brothers and sisters hurriedly caught up to stop them. Li Du also rushed over with his son Xiao Meng.

"Oh, I have a relative who works in the Xuanhuo Trading House, and it is said that the position is not small, and this time she asked me to apply. Huo Xuan was talking nonsense. Li Du and the others looked surprised, and Huang Lin cautiously asked, "Qin Daoyou, what you said is true?"

"Of course!" Huo Xuan nodded, his face full of confidence.

"That'...... Qin Daoyou, your relative's surname?" Huang Qi was not at ease, and asked carefully. Huo Xuan touched his head, thought for a while, and said: "It seems to be surnamed Ji, I haven't seen it for many years, and I can't remember the specific name, anyway, she sent me a message, saying that she went to the Xuanhuo Trading House, as long as I report my name, someone will naturally arrange it!"

Seeing that his words were conclusive, as if there was such a thing, Li Du and the three of them felt strange and half-convinced.

"There are two zodiac friends to guide the way, it's best, let's go meet the deacon, my relatives should have greeted him!" Huo Xuan said with a smile. After hearing this, the Huang brothers and sisters glanced at each other, and then nodded: "Okay, since Qin Daoyou has relatives working in the firm, then let's go to Lord Dou together!"

The crowd immediately set out. Xuanhuo Commercial Bank occupies a very wide area, enter from the side door, at a glance is full of buildings and pavilions, with the Huang brothers and sisters, all the way to go, through several corridors, they came to a remote courtyard door, look, this courtyard is very inconspicuous in the interior of the commercial bank, simple single row of rooms, the pattern is very simple. In front of the gate, there is a black and gold-lettered signboard with three big characters written on it: 'Miscellaneous Room'.

When Huo Xuan and the others arrived, dozens of people had already gathered in front of the courtyard gate, and it seemed that they were all scattered immortals who had applied for miscellaneous labor, but these people were all well-connected, otherwise, they were all waiting outside the gate of the trading house.

These scattered immortals were all lining up at the door, with a worried expression on their faces, and only after the voices of people came from the courtyard did they walk in one by one. Most of the people who came out later were full of excitement, holding gray fairy clothes, which were exactly the same as the fairy clothes worn by the Huang brothers and sisters, all of which were miscellaneous uniforms.

There are also a few people who come out with a depressed face, and they seem to know that their applications are unsuccessful.

"These immortals have all gone away, but some people are not filial enough, and when they go to Lord Dou, they are directly swept away!" Huang Lin lowered his voice and said these words. At this moment, Huo Xuan had already exuded the power of Dayan, and the situation in the courtyard was clear at a glance, in a side room, there was a middle-aged man with a short stature, and there were two scattered immortals in front of him, nodding their heads, each offering dozens of immortal stones, and placing them on the table.

"My heart is really greedy!"

Huo Xuan sneered and strode straight away.

"Qin Daoyou stay, let my brother and sister go in first, and pass on the ......"

"There's no need for that!"

Huo Xuan didn't look back, dropped this sentence, and the person had already walked into the courtyard. This 'miscellaneous house' was the most inconspicuous department in the headquarters of the comptoir, and therefore there was no guard. Outside the wing, there are only four scattered immortals on duty, and looking at their clothes, they are all miscellaneous servants.

"You don't know the rules, the last wave of applicants hasn't ended yet, what are you doing when you break in?"

Before Huo Xuan could get close to the wing, the four miscellaneous servants had already blocked him and scolded him loudly. Huo Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, his expression was displeased, and he was about to make a move. I saw the Huang brothers and sisters walking quickly. He greeted the four scattered immortals, and whispered a few times in the ear of one of them.

"This relative holds an important position in the trading house, and he wants to see Lord Dou. Brother Kim. You'd better not stand in the way!"

Huo Xuan heard it clearly. This sentence is what the Huang brothers and sisters said.

Just then, the door of the wing room opened, and two men walked out with their faces full of excitement while holding the handyman fairy clothes. When the four guards saw it, they waved their hands and let them go, "You can go in!"

Huo Xuan, the Huang brothers and sisters, Li Du and his son, and then walked into the wing. In front of him, a small middle-aged man sat at the long red sandalwood table, if nothing else, this person was the deacon Dou Da.

"Nine Grades of Human Immortals!"

Huo Xuan, who is a suitable talent, has already inspected this person, who is a cultivator of the nine grades of immortals, and serves as a deacon in the miscellaneous room at the headquarters of the commercial bank, with similar qualifications, and his character cannot be complimented.

"Lord Dou!"

The Huang brothers and sisters stepped forward and bowed, their faces full of respect.

"Hmm. ”

The middle-aged man snorted lightly in response. His position belongs to the lowest level of the firm, but at this moment, he is full of arrogance, so that Huo Xuan, the real owner of Xuanhuo Ji, sees it, and he can't wait to slap this guy to death.

"Lord Dou, this is my brother and sister friend Li Du......"

The Huang brothers and sisters introduced Li Du, and Li Du was also respectful at the moment, stepped forward to salute, and called 'Lord Dou'. This Lord Dou glanced at Li Du, and when he saw that there was a boy beside him, his expression was immediately displeased, and he said, "I don't accept children in the miscellaneous room, this rule is ...... Don't you know?"

"My lord, Xiao Meng is Li Du's only son, and his Taoist companion died early, and the child has no one to take care of, so he can only take it with him. Huang Qi immediately explained for Li Du. It's okay if she doesn't explain, as soon as she explains, Huo Xuan obviously saw a trace of jealousy flashing in the eyes of 'Lord Dou', and stood up directly, waved at Li Du's sleeves, and scolded: "Those who drag their families with mouths, this firm will not accept them!"

"Your Excellency!"

The faces of the Huang brothers and sisters changed greatly, they didn't expect this person to suddenly turn their faces and deny people, they should all take out filial piety, and at this time, the other party actually broke his promise and refused to accept Li Du.

Li Du was also terrified and begged bitterly.

Unexpectedly, the more they pleaded, the more resolute 'Lord Dou' became, and they didn't give the slightest chance at all.

"I don't know where to offend you, Lord Dou, since you refuse to accept it, I don't force it, I just hope that my friend will return the immortal stone that my friend respected!" Li Du was upright, and after seeing that there was no hope, he simply gave up and asked for the filial piety immortal stone for his friend. According to the rules, if the matter is not done, this filial piety immortal stone must be returned.

"Brother Li, what are you talking nonsense!"

As soon as Li Du's voice fell, the faces of the Huang brothers and sisters changed significantly, the rule of bribery and filial piety is not visible in the firm, once the news leaks and alarms the upper echelons, Lord Dou is unlucky, and they have no good fruit to eat.

'Lord Dou' also changed his face, which was extremely ugly. He waved his hand and took out twenty immortal stones, threw them directly to the Huang brothers and sisters, and shouted: "From now on, your brother and sister will be expelled, take off their immortal clothes immediately, and you must not stay for half a moment!"

The Huang brothers and sisters were immediately stunned. Li Du obviously didn't expect that his impulsive words would cause his two friends to lose their errands, and he regretted it to death.

"Your Excellency is so majestic!"

Just when the Huang brothers and sisters and Li Du were depressed and about to leave, they suddenly heard Huo Xuan, who had been standing next to him, walk up to 'Lord Dou' at this moment, point to the other party's nose, and say this.

"Who are you, dare to shout in front of me, and seek death!"

'Lord Dou' was angry, he originally had a little meaning to Huang Qi, when he saw Huang Qi full of concern to protect Li Du, he was jealous, and broke his promise not to accept Li Du, who expected that Li Du was a muddy person, seeing that the errand was hopeless, he actually asked for the immortal stone that the Huang brothers and sisters had been filial piety before, which made 'Lord Dou' furious.

He is well aware of the rules and regulations of the business house, and once such a situation is discovered, he will be severely punished, and if it reaches the top level, he will definitely be removed from the position of deacon, and he will be severely punished.

Receiving benefits and filial piety was originally an unspoken rule, and no one dared to take it out to say something, but now Li Du actually opened his mouth to ask for the immortal stone of filial piety before. For 'Lord Dou', the matter of immortal stones is small, once this guy is not strict and talks nonsense, he will be in constant trouble.

Therefore, he immediately expelled the Huang brothers and sisters, thinking in his heart whether he needed to spend some immortal stones and hire people to solve these people and completely eliminate the hidden dangers. That's when it happened. There is another one who does not enter the scattered immortals. actually pointed at his nose and mocked and ridiculed, and his heart was angry, which can be imagined.

"Someone!"

With a loud shout, the four scattered immortals on duty outside the door. Come immediately. 'Lord Dou' pointed at Huo Xuan. shouted: "This person's origin is unknown. If you want to infiltrate the trading house and try to do wrong, you will take him down immediately, if there is any resistance. Kill on the spot!"

The four scattered immortals were all confidants of 'Lord Dou', and after receiving the order, they immediately surrounded Huo Xuan, and one of the men flipped his palm, and there was an additional rope immortal weapon, which turned into a streamer and shot out, holding Huo Xuan in an instant.

Huo Xuan disguised himself and cultivated as a cover, showing that there were only three grades of human immortals, which was much worse than these four scattered immortals, and he was taken down by the other party at this moment.

"Lock this guy up now, and when I have time, I'll slowly greet him!"

'Lord Dou' had a flash of fierceness on his face. When the four subordinates heard this, they immediately knew their intentions, and it seemed that the guy who had bumped into the adults had no life to go out.

"Qin Daoyou is not at fault, let alone has no bad intentions, what is the reason for you to take people casually?" Li Du saw that Huo Xuan was bound, and immediately stood up to speak for him.

"Lord Dou, today's matter is our reckless offense, you have a lot, let Qin Daoyou go, and we will retreat immediately...... Today's matter, never mention a word!" "The Huang brothers and sisters presented the twenty immortal stones returned by the previous 'Lord Dou' and interceded for Huo Xuan.

"These brothers and sisters and Li Du are both good people!"

Huo Xuan saw it in his eyes and nodded secretly. Now, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with this so-called 'Lord Dou', took a deep breath, shook his arms, and the ropes that bound his body immediately broke inch by inch.

A huge palpitating and suffocating terrifying aura permeated out.

"You, you hide your cultivation...... Sure enough, it's ill-intentioned!"

'Lord Dou' was full of horror, and in just a few breaths, he realized that the man in front of him who looked ordinary, the coercive pressure qi exuded from his body was ten million times stronger than before, and his immortal nine-grade cultivation was like a drop in the ocean in front of others, and it was not worth mentioning.

"Heavenly Immortal! He is definitely a Heavenly Immortal powerhouse!"

Tiantai City has not been peaceful recently, and an order has been issued from above to strengthen the defense of the headquarters of the trading bank. As a deacon, 'Lord Dou' was naturally instructed, and he also had a talisman with him to warn. This guy reacted quickly, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately turned over and took out a talisman and crushed it.

A streamer of light pierced through the roof, reaching into the air, erupting into a piercing roar, flickering flames, and the entire headquarters of the comptoir was alarmed.

"There is a situation!"

"The location is in the miscellaneous room, send someone over quickly!"

Tiantai City is the headquarters of Xuanhuo Ji Trading House, which can be described as a master and heavily guarded. In just a few breaths, a large number of people gathered from all directions.

"Who's in there, give it all to me!"

The words of the Great Elder of the Worship Hall, the Three-Eyed Immortal Monarch, came. In addition, Huo Xuan noticed that many high-level executives of the commercial bank had arrived, including Ji Fei, the master of the Millennium Hall, who was in charge of the personnel transfer of the various branches of the Xuanhuo Ji, as well as a large number of guards, as well as the Heavenly Immortal Elders of the Worship Hall.

"Help, adults!"

The 'Lord Dou' called for help as soon as possible, spread his feet and ran out of the door, Huo Xuan didn't stop him, just looked at Li Du and the others with dull expressions on his face, and greeted with a smile: "My relative is here, don't worry, you will be fine!"

He immediately walked out of the wing, Li Du and the others, without thinking much about it, followed closely behind,

When Huo Xuan walked out of the room, he saw that 'Lord Dou' knelt down in front of the three-eyed elder, pointing fingers, talking nonsense vividly, as soon as he saw Huo Xuan walk out, he immediately pointed his finger and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's him......"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, among the guards gathered around, many of them knelt on the ground in unison, shouting at Huo Xuan in unison: "Master!" These guards are all offspring of the poisonous mother, and they felt Huo Xuan's unique breath for the first time, and immediately knelt down to greet him.

"Hey, boss, why are you here?"

If it was said that the poisonous immortal guards fell to the ground and called Huo Xuan 'master', it had already made that Lord Dou dumbfounded, and he couldn't react for a while. When he heard the Great Elder of the Worship Hall shout out 'Dongjia', this Lord Dou just woke up from a dream, looking at Huo Xuan's eyes in horror, and his body trembled unconsciously. (To be continued......)
