14. During the Banquet (1)
So now, Huang Chang and Li Zhai, as representatives of Shengyangjun, appeared at the banquet hosted by the Splendid Pavilion with a smile.
Fairview Pavilion will hold a regular auction every month, and the one at the end of the year is often more grand, and there are more good things, which is called the annual auction. In addition, if there is a special need, such as getting a large number of good things in a short period of time, an impromptu auction will be held.
Generally speaking, there are not many people who usually shoot often, and the level is not very high. Unless something good appears, such as the late tiger spirit body of that time, it will attract high-level characters. Otherwise, if the people in the Ji royal family want to participate, they will generally just show their faces at the year-end auction to show their support for the Splendid Pavilion - this is also their own industry after all.
And this time, there were no good goods in the regular shooting, so there were not too many people attending, and the banquet hall seemed a little empty. When Huang Chang and Li Zhai appeared here, the two immediately attracted the attention of many people - those who could enter here were very well informed. Huang Chang's identity is no secret here. And after his intimate actions with Ji Ruo that day, and the news that he was actually living in the Water Spirit Palace these days spread, many people already regarded him as an agent of Shengyang Jun, even more convincing than Li Zhai.
So soon after the banquet began, people came over one after another and joined the small circle of chatting and socializing with Huang Chang and others. The news that the Shengyang Junfu has used a large number of demon beast spirit bodies to refine the bodies of the warriors in the mansion has already spread among these merchants. And the demon spirit body has always been in short supply in the pickaxe capital, and it is also an important source of wealth for the major merchants. In the past, this kind of spiritual material entered and exited Haojing, and most of them relied on the channels of the Splendid Pavilion. Even if it is not, with the status of Splendid Pavilion in the business circle of the pickaxe capital, you will definitely be able to know the clues.
However, there was no source for this large number of spiritual materials suddenly obtained by the Shengyang Monarch's Mansion, and none of the merchants in the pickaxe capital knew anything about it. It's just a small and medium-sized business, but those top wealthy merchants are extremely concerned about this - someone can obtain spiritual materials in large quantities outside the Shangge channel, and the whole process has nothing to do with them. Anyone with a modicum of economic acumen can think of what this means.
So much time has passed, and the Shengyang Junfu has not deliberately concealed it, as long as they are attentive to inquire, the merchants will always be able to get the news. Those spiritual resources came from this Kunlun Mountain disciple surnamed Huang - there were quite a few people in the banquet hall who knew this.
Standing in front of Huang Chang at this time is the proprietor of the Bailing Pavilion in the capital of the pickaxe, Li, this business pavilion is based on all kinds of spiritual materials and spiritual objects as the main business direction, and the big action of the Shengyang Junfu some time ago can really make their family nervous. I thought that there was a fierce dragon crossing the river and snatching the spiritual market of the pickaxe capital.
Later, I inquired about the source, and saw that those spiritual objects and spiritual materials were only used by the Shengyang Junfu for their own use, and they were not lost to the outside, so I breathed a sigh of relief. This time, I heard that the main owner was there, so I hurried over to communicate.
Of course, even if he lent this proprietor Li a few dares, he would never dare to show any dissatisfaction in front of Huang Chang and Li Zhai, so he could only politely greet the two Taoist friends - since they can do this business in Bailing Pavilion, the family must also be supported by cultivators, and this proprietor Li is a monk himself.
But of course—his realm is not high, and if his realm is high, he will definitely cultivate with peace of mind, and he will not come to do such tedious things. That is, the level at which you have just entered Qi refining and can use the Fu Gong Pill. Therefore, although he is a lot older, in front of Huang and Li, the two mid-stage monks, they can only honestly carry out the gifts of their juniors-when the two sides are not familiar with each other, the rules of the immortal cultivation world are so strict.
Fortunately, Huang Chang is not very particular about this aspect, and he still talks with him on an equal footing and calls each other friends, which can be regarded as giving face, so that the future communication will be smoother.
The two sides chatted for a while, and after going through the steps of greeting, gossiping, praising each other, and being cautious of temptation, the proprietor finally couldn't help it, and asked:
“...... Huang Daoyou is a senior brother of Kunlun, so he must have heard that in Qinshan County, there is a new dojo opened by your faction, in which there are often excellent demon spirit materials, can you know the details?"
Huang Chang was amused when he heard it—isn't this the cross-border space, the sect has already built a complete protective facility and formation there, and arranged for a Fa Yuan master to sit in it, which is indeed equivalent to a high-configuration lower courtyard dojo.
And since that space can communicate with all places, especially connected to the Jiulian Mountain controlled by the demon clan, it is equivalent to bordering. Human monks and demon spirits often fight among them, and the victor can get the opponent's body as a trophy even if he has nothing else - of course, the reverse is also true, and it is not uncommon for the defeated human monk to become the bait of the demon race.
Since this proprietor Li is in charge of this way, he is well-informed about this aspect. However, no matter how great his ability was, it was impossible for him to know that Huang Chang was one of the core personnel who first discovered it and participated in the opening battle. I just thought that it was easier for the Kunlun disciples to get information internally, so they came to inquire about it.
Everyone has just met, and the friendship is general, and Huang Chang can't tell him in detail, just a few perfunctory words. However, he confirmed that the spiritual materials he used were indeed from that side, and immediately made the proprietor Li's eyes light up:
"I don't know if Huang Daoyou can continue to get spiritual objects? If there is any superfluity, there will be as many as there are here!"
Before Huang Chang could answer, Li Zhai next to him already showed a look of sarcasm on his face - this kind of thing, it is natural to have as many as there are when you get it to the pickaxe capital. At the moment, the Shengyang Junfu itself is not enough, even if it is to be sold, all the royal families have to be wanted, so why do you need to turn your hand in the middle and peel off a layer of skin?
However, Huang Chang is not so strong, he knows very well that the creature of middlemen will never disappear, and it will only become more and more popular with the development of commodity circulation. Moreover, the Shengyang Junfu could not care about the Bailing Pavilion and compete with it head-on, but the Huang family couldn't—unless it was him himself who operated the business, but this was not in line with his plan.
Therefore, Huang Chang was still polite, saying that if he had the opportunity, he could consider cooperating with Bailing Pavilion, and then let my brother contact you - and then pulled Chen Shi, who was looking around stupidly, and asked him to be the contact person of the Huang family, which can be regarded as helping him initially establish a personal relationship.
After sending away Li Dongzhu, another one soon came up, and the relationship with Huang Chang was much closer and more familiar - his surname was Qiu, and there were people in his family who studied art in Kunlun Mountain. It is Qiu Liang, who is one year younger than Huang Chang, but has a pretty good relationship.
