Chapter 3 - Buying Elixir

"Good sword!" the old man only glanced at it, and he found the strangeness of these three swords. The sword qi is fluttering, condensing but not dispersing, this is the appearance of the sword, the old man nodded and praised.

"How much does the old gentleman think these three swords are worth?" Li Chen had already expected the old man to react like this, smiled, and asked again.

"Each of these swords is worth tens of thousands of copper leaves, and the three swords together should be worth about thirty silver leaves!" the old man said after a moment of silence.

"Thirty silver leaves!" Buy slaves and some pure elixir, well, it should be enough, but just in case, it's better to prepare more.

However, just as Li Chen was about to take out something from the spatial ring, the door of this room was suddenly opened.

"Old Yu, look what I've brought you!" a young man in his twenties walked straight in.

"Get out!" the old man waved his robe, and a stream of real power poured out, knocking the young man upside down and flying out, and at the same time closing the door again.

Li Chen looked at all this, Qingxiu's brows furrowed slightly, and the idea of auctioning other treasures was also suppressed.

"Let Xiaoyou be frightened!" the old man arched his hand to Li Chen. "This person is the son of an eight-rank official, who has just taken office, and seeing that there is no powerful cultivator around him to protect him, he wants to recruit me as his bodyguard. Therefore he sent his son to me every day to please me, trying to make me move. But that kid has a bad heart, relying on his father's official position to bully men and women everywhere, doing all kinds of evil, disturbing the people's livelihood, and now let him see your three swords, I'm afraid he will come to you to trouble you in the future!" The old man frowned and explained, the young man in front of him may have a very big background, so he didn't want to offend the other party because of this matter.

Hearing the old man's words, Li Chen couldn't help frowning slightly. There may be some trouble!

"Otherwise, this is my token, Xiaoyou hangs it on his waist, and that kid must be a little jealous when he sees that you have my token. The old man took out a red token engraved with the word rain and handed it to Li Chen.

"This ...... It's okay, thank you Mr. Yu in the next day. Li Chen's eyes flashed, and then his mind turned slightly to take the old man's token, although he can solve these troubles, but more or less need to move some hands and feet, although the old man gave him the token is not a perfect strategy, but it can also save him some effort, why not do it.

Although this old man may not be very kind to him in his heart, it is still not a big deal for him to be careful.

"Hehe, the auction is about to start, Xiaoyou will put the card ring on this record crystal first, and the money from the auction of these three swords will be automatically remitted to Xiaoyou's card ring later. Seeing Li Chen accept the token, the old man smiled, and as soon as he turned his hand, a colorless crystal suddenly appeared in his dry palm.

Li Chen nodded, put his hand on the crystal, and after a flash of green light, the crystal automatically recorded the fluctuations on his card ring.

After doing all this, the old man led Li Chen to the auction hall through a secret passage in the room, and prepared a VIP room for him at Li Chen's request.

After all, at his age, it would be bad to be targeted at this auction. So, just in case, it's better to be careful.

After the arrangement, Yu Lao returned to the room again, lay down on the rocking chair, and an invisible force pushed the rocking chair to shake slowly.

After a while, after a pause in the rocking chair, Yu Lao raised his hand to the card ring in his hand and said, "Xiao Li, you check the origin of the young man for me!"

The card ring trembled slightly, and a message had already been sent.

Inside the auction hall.

Boom!

A drum sounded, and all the lights in the entire auction hall suddenly disappeared, leaving only a faint beam of light shining on the auction table in the center of the auction hall.

Soon after, as the young man clapped his palms, dozens of young women each walked with a disc covered by a red cloth, but the auction had already begun.

When the auction was in full swing, the son of the eight-rank official who was auctioned off by the old man surnamed Yu outside the room was stomping his feet back and forth outside the door.

He had been waiting outside the door for half an hour, but he still didn't see anyone inside.

It's all that damn boy, if it weren't for him, how could he be driven out by Yu Lao!

Hmph, boy, just wait to die!

The moment he entered, he naturally saw the three swords placed on the desk, which could definitely be sold for a sky-high price, and then look at the kid who was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, alone, obviously not a nobleman, as for the strength, it would be even more impossible, twelve or thirteen years old Xuantian Realm powerhouse? Most likely, that kid found some secret treasure outside the city.

Hehe, it seems that Lao Tzu is destined to be developed!

"Keep this place guarded for me, and don't let a fly go. If that kid comes out, drag me to a place where no one is around!" After giving a few orders, he hurried home eagerly to inform his father, the eight-rank official, of the news.

......

Li Chen in the auction hall was auctioning off a melt grass at the moment, but he didn't know that he was in trouble.

Shaoqing, a girl in a cheongsam brought the water melt grass, Li Chen waved his palm, it was put into the space ring, at the same time, he stretched out his right hand, crossed the crystal held by the girl, with a 'ding' sound, the currency in the card ring was deducted a silver leaf.

The girl saluted Li Chen and left the VIP room.

Li Chen looked at the auction floor again, but his brows furrowed slightly.

His three swords were bought by the auctioneers for a high price of thirty-five silver leaves, and one silver leaf was taken away by Zhangqi as a reward, but he still received thirty-four silver leaves. This kind of income was far beyond his expectations, and next, he also used the money to buy more than a dozen elixirs that were beneficial to the pure body, but the slave he was looking forward to had never been seen.

Isn't there a slave to sell in this Palm Wonder Auction House?

With doubts, Li Chen waited quietly, and after an hour, the auction ended.

Walking out of the auction hall along the scattered crowd, Li Chen sighed helplessly, although there were so many slaves in the end of the auction, but they were all in the same mid-stage life spirit as him, even if they were bought, it would not be of much use to him, could it be that when facing the enemy, let those slaves be cannon fodder to delay time? That kind of inhumane approach Li Chen knew that he couldn't do it. Therefore, he did not buy the slaves.

Alas, the slave can find it slowly, but the pure body elixir is already in hand, so let's find an inn to try the effect first!

Li Chen is not the kind of person who is entangled in gains and losses, at the moment, he once again planned the next action in his heart, and after a little silence, he casually found a more crowded hotel to live in.

After spending five copper leaves as half a month's room money, Li Chen told the shopkeeper not to disturb him if he was fine, and after finding a small servant to tell him a few times, he went into the room, and the whole person fell asleep on the bed.

For more than a month, he had been alone in the Giant Wood Forest to avoid pursuit, and he had been worried for many times, and he was already physically and mentally exhausted, if it weren't for his amazing perseverance and endurance, he would have fainted. However, he had to take care of everything properly before he let off his guard and fell into a deep sleep.

The afternoon sun shines brightly into the room, and on the simple bed, a scarred teenager rests quietly.

The young man slept peacefully, with a delicate face and long eyelashes, which was very good-looking, but it was a pity that even after falling asleep, he still frowned, but it was a pity to see people's hearts......

After Li Chen fell into a deep sleep, two men dressed in Xuan clothes strode into the inn. Both of them have a Chinese face, with big shoulders and round waists, and they are very rough.

"Big brother, this kid lives in an inn with a lot of people, it's not easy to start!" a slightly smaller man whispered.

"What are you afraid of, there is a token from the young master, let's just rush into the room and stun that kid. If it is seen by others, just light up the token and say that the thief is arrested, and no one will dare to stop him at that time!"

These two people turned out to be the entourage left by the son of the eight-rank official, and followed Li Chen all the way to this inn.

The two of them walked to the counter and showed the token, saying that it was an office business, and the innkeeper tried his best to cooperate, and a little, it was said where Li Chen was.

First update!
