Chapter 41: Acquaintances
"Hehe, what do you think in your heart, how can the old man not know, if the news of this remnant picture in the auction house is only known to me and a few other people, it is not impossible to leave this remnant picture, now that this news has been leaked out, keeping the remnant picture will only be a disaster.

"It is the most suitable to auction it directly as a finale lot, and I think that no matter which sect in South Vietnam gets this fragment, it will become the target of public criticism, and it has nothing to do with our auction house. ”
"But the news leaked so quickly, it seems that the auction house needs to be put in order, otherwise it will be a joke to make someone else's wedding dress in vain in the future, but you don't even know who is in the way. ”
The old man sneered, analyzed a few people, and said later, but his tone gradually became cold.
"I know that Mr. Hong is thinking about the auction house, but I always feel unwilling to hand over the remnants like this. ”
This female cultivator, known as the spirit girl, also knew that the old man was reasonable, but when she thought of the remnants of the picture that she had worked so hard to get, she could only give it to others now, and her heart was really not a taste, and as soon as the words fell, the whole person turned into a fragrant wind and walked out of the room.
The other monks did not have the slightest objection to the old man's decision, and after a few more deliberations on the details of the auction in a few days, they took their leave of the room, and after a few moments, the room became quiet again.
Early the next morning, in an inn in Haoyue City, Wu Fan casually asked for a pot of wine and a few snacks, and chatted with another obscene-looking middle-aged monk while eating.
This middle-aged monk is the hyacinth hired by Wu Fan yesterday, early this morning, Wu Fan has not gotten up, but the middle-aged monk waited at the door of the inn early, Wu Fan happened to have something to ask, so he ordered a few side dishes, asked for a pot of good spiritual wine, and planned to taste the life of a mortal again.
"Tong Daoyou can tell me about the auction slowly. ”
Wu Fan poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and gestured to the hyacinth surnamed Tong before asking lightly.
"The little ones don't dare, let's enjoy it by the seniors. ”
Although Wu Fan behaved very casually, this monk surnamed Tong didn't dare to take it seriously at all, and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, and then stood aside and began to speak.
"The grand auction of Haoyue City, once every ten years, although it is nominally sponsored by the South Vietnamese Auction House, the real backstage of the actual auction is the city lord's mansion of this city, and most of the proceeds from the auction are also owned by the city lord's mansion. ”
"In addition, this Haoyue City is the largest city in the southern part of the entire Yue Kingdom, so every time there is a big auction, there will always be some rare treasures, so many hidden cultivators and some big sects will come to participate in this auction. ”
"Although this year's auction has not yet started, according to reliable sources, it seems that several precious items will be put up for auction, which is why there has been a sudden increase in monks in Haoyue City recently. ”
The middle-aged monk told Wu Fan all the information he knew, and as for the more confidential things, with the cultivation of these people, he naturally wouldn't know about it.
"There have been some rare treasures in auctions in the past, and you can talk about it. ”
After hearing this, Wu Fan couldn't help but be curious, and immediately asked.
"The seniors laughed, this kind of auction, just to participate in the tickets required hundreds of spirit stones, where is the small character can participate. ”
When the hyacinth heard this, he smiled awkwardly and returned curtly.
Hearing this, Wu Fan was also stunned, and after a while, he shook his head with a smile, threw down a few spirit stones, and turned around and walked outside.
There are still a few days before the auction starts, Wu Fan plans to take a good look at the textile market in Haoyue City, and then go to join in the excitement when the auction starts, although he doesn't have many spirit stones on his body, but his long knowledge is not worth the trip.
"Where the seniors are going next, the small ones can lead the way. ”
This hyacinth also followed, and when he saw Wu Fan standing still, he immediately asked.
"Take me to the Textile Market first, I need to gather some materials. Wu Fan ordered unceremoniously.
"The textile market is some distance from here, do the seniors need foot strength. ”
"That being the case, let's call it a foot force, it's a bit troublesome to go on like this. ”
There is a special ban in the sky above Haoyue City, and monks are not allowed to fly in the city during normal times, even if the monks of the Jindan period come here, they can only rely on the beast cars specially rented by Haoyue City, and they cannot fly in the light.
Seeing that Wu Fan agreed to come down, Hyacinth immediately ran over and called a beast cart, and invited Wu Fan to the petite behind the beast cart, while he sat in front, raised the long whip in his hand, and shouted in his mouth, and the beast cart began to gallop into the distance.
Wu Fan, who was sitting in the animal cart, felt this new type of transportation, and was also curious to open the side window, occasionally look at the scenery on both sides of the street, and think about what he should buy when he arrives at the textile market later.
The beast cart was extremely fast, and after only a stick of incense, it had already carried Wu Fan through several streets and stopped in front of a textile market set up for monks.
Wu Fan threw a few spirit stones at Hyacinth and told the other party to wait for him to come out here, and then jumped off the beast cart and walked towards the textile market.
As more and more monks come to Haoyue City, the textile market is also quite lively, with monks dressed in various costumes coming and going in various shops, and some occasionally look at some of the materials displayed on the roadside stalls.
Wu Fan walked while observing some shops in the textile market, and after a while, he stopped in front of a magnificent attic.
This attic should be regarded as the largest shop in the whole textile market, the whole store is divided into three floors, in the second floor of the attic, there is a tablet, on which are written three dragons flying phoenix dance big characters "Wanbao Pavilion".
After a slight hesitation, Wu Fan walked towards the attic.
The reason why he chose this attic is because this Wanbao Pavilion, whether it is the store decoration or the tablet, is very similar to the Baicaozhai he encountered in the Agni Sect's textile market at that time.
As the largest store in the entire Haoyue City Textile Market, the guests inside will naturally not be less, Wu Fan roughly estimated that in the entire lobby on the first floor, there were fifty or sixty monks talking to Xiao Er behind the counter.
Most of these monks are the same as Wu Fan, between the middle and early stages of Jindan, so they all have a little arrogance on their faces, and Xiao Er behind the counter does not dare to slack off, and works hard to introduce the spiritual materials in his hands to the customers in front of him.
"I don't know if the seniors are here, whether to buy spiritual materials, or to buy magic weapons, this store has all kinds of materials, what the seniors need, just open your mouth, the small shop will definitely satisfy the seniors. ”
At this time, a guy also saw Wu Fan, and immediately ran over, saluted, and said to Wu Fan with a respectful face.
"Well, fellow Daoist let's take a look at this first. ”
Wu Fan thought about it for a while, then turned his hand, took out a beautiful jade plate, and handed it to this guy, this jade card is the Keqing token given to him by Zhao Ritian in Baicaozhai last time, if you think that this store really has something to do with the Tianfu Business Alliance, the guys in the store will definitely be able to recognize this thing.
"Ah, senior, please come with me. ”
The moment this guy saw the token, his face immediately changed, and he returned the token to Wu Fan with both hands, and then bowed down and walked upstairs with Wu Fan.
The two quickly walked upstairs, and the man took out a piece of rune paper from the storage bag on his waist, whispered something to the rune paper, and then stood there and waited.
After a few moments, the door in front of the two of them opened, and out of it came a young monk dressed in a white robe and holding a delicate folding fan.
"Brother Wu, I really didn't expect to meet you here, and I was a little unsure about Zhao just now, haha. ”
The person who came was the main thing in Baicaozhai before, Zhao Ritian, I didn't expect to say goodbye last time, only a few months before and after, and the two actually met again.
"I really didn't expect to see Brother Zhao here, it seems that Wu Mou guessed correctly, this Wanbao Pavilion really has something to do with the Tianfu Business Alliance. ”
Wu Fan arched his hand with a smile and said the same.
