Chapter 140: A Thousand Spirit Crystals Are Worth It!
"Brother Shangguan, the 'Shengyu Commercial Bank' has been doing a prosperous business recently, which is really gratifying!" Ye Qun clenched his fists with both hands, his eyes narrowed into a line.
"Where can I compare with the scenery of the 'Silver Ring Chamber of Commerce' in the elixir market, and I will have to rely on Brother Ye to take care of it in the future. Shangguan replied with a smile.
"Brother Shangguan, please!"
"Brother Ye, please!"
The two of them were very polite to each other, and if someone who didn't know saw it, they would think that they were extremely good friends.
The Wind Venerable and the Kurong Venerable behind the two of them glanced at each other coldly, showing contempt for each other.
"Even Shangshu, you're here too!"
"Nangong family master, I am fortunate to be happy!"
"The eldest grandson actually had time to watch this battle for the top spot, which really surprised the lower officials. ”
"Didn't Lord Yang also take time out of his busy schedule?"
"Governor Sima, did you really come to the imperial capital to seek medical treatment? I thought it was a rumor. ”
"Heh, hehe......"
"Yo, isn't this Elder Chen? You ran so fast that day, and you still have a face today. ”
"Xi Lao'er, don't you stay in the imperial city and come here to die?"
......
With the passage of time, the number of people who came to watch the competition gradually increased, and those who could afford the entrance fee of a thousand spirit crystals were either high-ranking families or wealthy businessmen, and most of them had contacts with each other on weekdays.
"So many people!"
When Zhong Wen and the others arrived, the spectator seat had already accounted for three-quarters, and thinking of the appearance fee of one thousand spirit crystals, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised by the wealth of the wealthy family in the imperial capital.
For the ordinary people near Qingfeng Mountain, a single spirit crystal can live for several years, and even a Fufeng City giant like Zheng Gongming, the master of the Golden Dao Gate, can't make up a thousand spirit crystals when he exhausts his family wealth.
However, the imperial capital wealthy family spent such a huge amount of money just to watch a competition.
The evil propertied class!
Zhong Wen scolded secretly in his heart, but he didn't want to think that the assets of these rich people in the imperial capital were all combined, and they might not be worth the value of the large number of spirit crystal nuclei in his ring.
Shangguan Mingyue and Li Yiru each handed a bamboo plaque to the staff of the villa, and then were led to their seats by a girl in white.
Although the appearance fee of Jade Flute Villa is high, it is not completely unreasonable, and Chairman Liu generously stated that each VIP can bring an entourage with him, and there is no restriction on gender and age.
So, Zhong Wen was cheeky and followed in as Li Yiru's "guard".
And Shangguan Mingyue's "bodyguard" is her aunt Shangguan Junyi.
Xu has some understanding of Shangguan Mingyue and Li Yiru, the two major foodies in the imperial capital, and Yuxiao Villa arranged the seats of the two together very intimately.
There was still some time before the start of the fight, and the atmosphere in the manor was relaxed, and most of the audience did not sit still, but walked around and talked.
Shangguan Mingyue and Li Yiru were no exception, and they each found acquaintances to catch up.
"Brother Xue!" Zhong Wen didn't have much connections in the emperor, his eyes wandered around, and he finally found an acquaintance, he was overjoyed in his heart, and greeted loudly.
"Brother Zhong!" Xue Pingxi was also overjoyed when he saw him, "Dad, I'll talk to my friends in the past." ”
"What kind of friends do you kid make? Old General Xue didn't think so, "It's just some people who drink and meat." ”
"Daddy, my friend is terrible. Xue Pingxi was unconvinced, "He is Zhong Wen." ”
"Oh?" Old General Xue narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at Zhong Wen in the distance, "At such a young age, I can win against you, it's not easy, go ahead, learn from others." ”
Xue Pingxi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the old general agreed, and strode in the direction of Zhong Wen, not wanting to stay by his father's side for a moment.
"Brother Xue, are you the only one?" Zhong Wen didn't look for a few others, and couldn't help asking, "What about the eldest grandson?"
"A thousand spirit crystals is not a small number. Xue Pingxi shook his head and said, "None of them are the eldest sons in the family, how can they get this money, that is, I, as my father's entourage, followed in, and besides, these guys are not keen on cultivation, and most of them don't think about coming in to watch the battle." ”
"I see. Zhong Wen suddenly, "Brother Xue, the younger brother doesn't know anything about the characters in the imperial capital, can you please give me some advice?"
"No problem, but I only know half of the people present, so I'll introduce them to you one by one. Xue Pingxi just wanted to delay time, and he didn't want to return to General Xue's side, so he was very enthusiastic, "Look at the old man in the blue robe over there, it is the famous Lingzun boss Yu Xi in the imperial city, known as Venerable Xi, and then look at the gray-clothed old man over there, it is the head of the Dangyang faction of the first major faction in Yunjin Province, 'Guanlan Sword' Lu Ziyang, who is also a Lingzun boss, and the guy next to him who doesn't look male or female is the only son of Lu Zhangmen." Tidal Sword 'Lu Chengxian, although this person's personality is distorted, his strength should not be underestimated, ranking sixth on the list of heroes and heroes......"
Xue Pingxi is a martial idiot, and when he introduced it, he tried his best to select some powerful cultivators, but he didn't mention anything about the court officials and the rich people in the imperial capital, but fortunately, Zhong Wen didn't know anyone, and it sounded like relish.
As he was talking, the originally noisy manor suddenly fell silent.
All eyes were on a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's steps were firm and slow, and his body naturally revealed a unique temperament of a superior person, his appearance was handsome, but in front of his powerful momentum, everyone would involuntarily have a feeling of self-shame in their hearts, and no one paid attention to his appearance.
"This is Xiao Qing, the head of the Xiao family. Xue Pingxi has always been very aggressive, but at the moment when Xiao Qing appeared, his voice also retracted a lot, and he just whispered in Zhong Wen's ear, "Behind him is the second son of the Xiao family, the famous 'amorous son' Xiao Wuru." ”
"It turned out to be the Xiao family. Zhong Wen observed the two in the distance with great interest.
Xiao Wuru is handsome and personable, and always has a gentle smile on his face.
In the past, no matter where he appeared, he was the focus of everyone's attention, but at this time, following Xiao Qing, his demeanor was completely covered by his father, and he was inconspicuous.
"Xiao Family Master!"
"Xiao Family Master!"
But wherever Xiao Qing walked, there would always be people who got up to greet him, and his attitude was respectful, even in the face of the emperor, it was nothing more than that.
Xiao Qing walked all the way by without stopping much, until he passed in front of the head of the Dangyang Sect Lu, he stopped and talked a little bit, which actually made the head of the first major faction in Yunjin Province feel a little flattered.
Then he was led by the maid in white to his seat.
On the seat next to him, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing stood up to greet him, Xiao Qing had a rare smile on his face, and the two talked affectionately as if they were friends.
"The person who is talking to Xiao Qing now is Nangong Tianxing, the head of the Nangong family. Xue Pingxi still didn't dare to let go of his voice to speak, "Standing behind the head of the Nangong family is the current head of the family's uncle, Nangong Tieshou, and the only Lingzun boss of the Nangong family. ”
Seeing that Nangong Ling's father was friendly with Xiao Qing, Zhong Wen's heart was cold again, he lowered his head, his eyes rolled straight, and he was uncertain.
Just as he was pondering, he suddenly heard Xue Pingxi beside him exclaim: "Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are actually here!"
Interrupted by him, Zhong Wen raised his eyes and saw a large number of people pouring in outside, and the person who opened the way first was actually Xuanyuan Invincible, the leader of the Golden Armor Guard, who almost smashed himself into a meat pie in the princess's mansion that day.
Behind Xuanyuan Invincible, a middle-aged man in a yellow shirt with a majestic and powerful weapon slowly entered the viewing seat.
If you look closely, you will find that the middle-aged man's appearance is seven or eight points similar to that of the martial king Li Qing.
On the other side of the middle-aged man, there stood a young man in white about thirty-five or sixteen years old, followed by a gray-haired old man.
The old man was dressed in tattered clothes, with a lot of patches on them, a huge gourd tied to his back, and a long sword pinned to his waist, which was quite the demeanor of a senior master.
"I was able to see so many Spirit Venerable bosses at one time!" Xue Pingxi couldn't hide his excitement, "It's worth it, this thousand spirit crystals are really worth it!"
Zhong Wen reached out and stabbed him.
"Oh, Brother Zhong, you must not know, let me introduce them one by one. Xue Pingxi came back to his senses, "The man in the yellow shirt is the Son of Heaven of Daqian, the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, the one in front of His Majesty is the famous Lingzun boss in the imperial capital, the invincible leader of Xuanyuan who is in charge of the two hundred heavenly wheel golden armor guards, and the white-clothed young man next to His Majesty is His Royal Highness the current crown prince Li Yan, and the old-timer next to His Royal Highness is even more amazing, and he is the wine venerable who is known as the 'First Spirit Venerable of Daqian'. ”
"It turned out to be today, no wonder the bearing is so extraordinary. ”
Zhong Wen and Venerable Wine can be regarded as having crossed paths, and he has fought with Xuanyuan Invincible once, so it is not unusual, but he just looks back and forth between the emperor and Xiao Qing with his eyes.
He frowned, feeling that the momentum on Xiao Qing's body seemed to be stronger than that of the emperor.
Different from the scene when Xiao Qing came, Emperor Li Jiuye seemed to have a temperament of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and everywhere he went, everyone lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly, and the lively atmosphere of the entire manor suddenly fell silent a lot.
After Li Jiuye sat down, he began to close his eyes and recuperate, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him, and after a while, the manor regained its vitality.
"The Lord is coming!" I don't know who shouted, and everyone's eyes looked at the entrance again.
When the person who came first was dressed in white fluttering, with a long sword at his waist, a cold face, and a big hooked nose, he looked a little cold.
The second on the list of great Qianyingjie, the "Absolute Sword Son" Xiao Wenjian.
Li Qing, the prince of martial arts, who came in later, caused an uproar, only to see that his face was pale, his breath was unstable, and he looked miserable as if he was about to hang, and with the support of a woman in red behind him, he trembled and barely moved forward, as if he was about to fall down anytime and anywhere.
"What's going on with the third child!" Li Jiuye finally opened his eyes, and his eyes showed anger.
