At the same time, Xu Chen and Lao Wu walked out of the door of a pharmacy.

"Uncle Wu, why are you buying these?"

Xu Chen looked at the big bag and small wrap in his hand and asked.

Just now, Lao Wu took Xu Chen to this pharmacy and bought a lot of some medicinal materials that had nothing to do with cultivation, at least Xu Chen thought they were irrelevant.

Chuanqiong, **, Wuling Fat, Bone Crushing Supplement, Tianxian Vine, people with a little medical knowledge know that these are all drugs that promote blood circulation, and they have nothing to do with cultivation.

Lao Wu glanced at Xu Chen, smiled but did not answer.

"Uncle Wu, isn't it that you're sick?" Xu Chen seemed to suddenly realize something, after all, Lao Wu was old, and it was normal for him to have some physical problems.

Lao Wu's eyebrows stood up, and he laughed angrily, "You're sick!"

"Why is that?" Xu Chen was even more puzzled.

Lao Wu shook his head, and there was a childlike "ill-intentioned" smile on his face, "Young master, you'll know by night, now, we have to go to the maple leaf pawnshop!"

As he spoke, Lao Wu walked forward with a smile, and Xu Chen had no choice but to follow closely behind, but there were more and more questions in his heart.

The maple leaf pawnshop belongs to the largest family in Chaoyang Kingdom: the Chu family. And the Chu family also has a well-known identity, the royal family, and the surname is Chu when the monarch of the dynasty is the king.

It seems that the Maple Leaf Pawnshop is no different from other pawnshops, but in fact, anyone who knows a little about spiritual practice knows that the Maple Leaf Pawnshop is not as simple as it seems.

Although the Maple Leaf Pawnshop also does some pawn business, in fact, its biggest source of income is its secret auction house.

In Chaoyang Kingdom, there are countless maple leaf pawnshops like this, and all of them are owned by the royal family, although the royal family never recognizes this, but the world knows it. With such a lucrative business, how can the royal family let others do it.

Half a pillar of incense, the two came to the door of the maple leaf pawnshop, above the door, a large maple leaf pattern is the most eye-catching, the maple leaf is like an open palm, which seems to imply the domineering of the whole family to control everything.

Pushing the door in, the front hall was slightly narrow, an old man sat quietly behind the counter, it should be the shopkeeper here, he heard the sound of pushing the door, slowly raised his head, from the pair of worried eyes, it can be seen that he should have been sleeping just now.

Sluggish business?

Watching Xu Chen and Lao Wu walk to the counter, he barely squeezed out a smile, "Are you two going to be something?"

Lao Wu shook his head, leaned forward, and said softly, "We're going to the auction house in the backyard." ”

"Oh?" the old shopkeeper subconsciously looked at the two strangers in front of him, and said with some disdain, "Do you know what is being auctioned in this auction house, and do you know the price of these things?"

Lao Wu smiled slightly, knowing that the other party was Lao Jianghu, probably just glanced at his and Xu Chen's clothes, and felt that he was not qualified to enter the auction hall at all, so he asked euphemistically.

This is also strange, Xu Chen is still wearing the clothes he brought back from the Bai family at this time, although it is clean, but it has lost its color, and Lao Wu is just a servant of the Xu family, how good can he be in it?

Lao Wu glanced at Xu Chen, Xu Chen already understood a thing or two, and gently took out the stack of silver tickets from his arms and rummaged through them casually.

The old shopkeeper was very sharp-eyed, and he didn't feel surprised when he glanced at it casually, it turned out that he saw that among the silver tickets in Xu Chen's hand, at least a few were 100,000 taels of silver tickets.

"Hehe, hey, I'll just ask casually to see if the two of you understand the rules here, don't be surprised!

As he spoke, the old shopkeeper walked out from behind the counter, stretched out his right arm and said "Please!" with two of them, and walked towards the small door behind the counter.

Out of the small door is the backyard of the maple leaf pawnshop

As far as the eye could see, the backyard was empty, but when the old shopkeeper led them to the second floor of an attic, Xu Chen's body trembled.

The second floor of the entire attic was completely shrouded in darkness, except for a dim oil lamp lit on the square platform in the middle of the entire room.

On the square platform, a tall middle-aged man was explaining the items in his hand, but the oil lamp was so dim that even the auctioneer's face was a little blurred.

There were dozens of people sitting on the seats around the room, although they couldn't see their faces clearly, but Xu Chen knew that these should be cultivators, otherwise who would have come to this eerie and terrifying place.

There are no less than 100 maple leaf pawnshops in the country, but only this area of Danyang City is so arranged, because it is located in the border of Chaoyang Kingdom, the people are mixed, no one wants to let others recognize themselves, the customer is the food and clothing parents, since there is this requirement, the auction hall here also conforms to the requirements of the customer, changed to the current arrangement.

The old shopkeeper took Xu Chen and Lao Wu to a corner and sat down quietly, and he turned to leave.

"This bottle of Turning Spirit Pill has the same function as what can be seen on the market outside, it is to help cultivators quickly improve their cultivation in the second realm. However, this bottle is a hundred times purer than the one on the market outside, and it will not cause any adverse effects on the cultivator's body......" The auctioneer on the square platform was explaining the bottle of elixir in his hand.

"Okay! Now the bidding has officially begun, and the starting price of this bottle of Turning Spirit Pill is one hundred taels of silver. When the auctioneer finished explaining, the auction began, and the price increase in the venue came and went, and the auctioneer was worthy of being a veteran.

Xu Chen sat bored, he didn't know what necessary things Lao Wu wanted to buy for himself here.

"The middle of the second realm, the early stage of the second realm, the middle of the third realm. ”

With the sound of every price increase in the venue, Lao Wu was muttering in a low voice.

"Uncle Wu, what are you talking about?"

The bored Xu Chen asked in Lao Wu's ear.

"Hehe!" Lao Wu chuckled lightly and said, "I'm talking about their cultivation!"

Xu Chen didn't speak, but the more he admired Lao Wu in his heart, and he could distinguish the other party's cultivation by just speaking voice, which was by no means something ordinary people could do.

Just when Xu Chen was amazed, a rough voice sounded in the field, "I'll give seven hundred and fifty taels." ”

This voice was extremely ordinary, and Xu Chen naturally didn't take it seriously.

"Okay! The bid for the eighth position is seven hundred and fifty taels, is there anything higher?" the auctioneer kept repeating this timeless sentence, and he naturally hoped that the higher the bid, the better.

"Eight hundred taels!"

An old voice sounded, and the others in the audience were not surprised, but Xu Chen was surprised, because it was Lao Wu who was sitting next to him who made the bid just now.

Xu Chen didn't know why, could it be that the first auction item that he had just entered the market was what Lao Wu wanted to buy? Could it be too coincidental, he asked softly: "Uncle Wu, are we here for this today?"

Lao Wu smiled and said calmly: "No!"

"Then why are you ......" Xu Chen felt even more ridiculous.

Lao Wu turned his head, and said with a slightly excited face: "Young Master, I want to disgust the guy who just paid seven hundred and fifty taels, do you know who he is?" Xu Chen shook his head.

"Hehe, he's Young Master Xu Yang!"

"Huh?" Xu Chen couldn't believe it, "The voice just now was obviously a middle-aged man, how could it be Xu Yang?"

"Hehe, young master, just wait!" said Lao Wu playfully.

"Eight hundred and fifty taels!"

At this point, the voice shouted the price again.

"Nine hundred taels!" Lao Wu shouted out the price without hesitation.

At this time, only Lao Wu and Xu Yang in the mouth of Lao Wu kept raising the price.

After a while, everyone in the audience turned their eyes to these two people, although they couldn't see these two faces clearly, but this curiosity was hard to resist. Because the two of them have already raised the price to two thousand taels.

"Is this persistence or two!"

"Hehe! I still need to ask, it must be Erbei? It's not that I haven't photographed it before, and I can buy more than two bottles at such a price!"

From time to time, such discussions rang out in the venue.

When the price rose to two thousand five hundred taels, Xu Yang, who was sitting in the eighth position, finally gritted his teeth and gave up, although the bottle of elixir was very important to him, but the price of two thousand five hundred taels was unacceptable to him, and his master Elder Huang was still by his side. Money is not spent casually like this.

He looked viciously at the corner where Xu Chen was, and he knew that this was obviously the other party deliberately teasing him.

"Two thousand five hundred taels for the first time... Second... This bottle of Turning Elixir was auctioned on the 21st, this is a wise choice! After the auction is over, this guest can go to the front desk to pay for the medicine!" Although the auctioneer was complimenting in his mouth, he was already happy in his heart, he had never sold such a high price for this level of elixir.

Xu Chen looked at Lao Wu incomprehensibly, "Uncle Wu, didn't you say that I couldn't use that bottle of elixir? I thought you were just trying to get it at too high a price, so that Xu Yang could buy it at a higher price! I really didn't expect you to actually clap it." ”

"Hehe, young master, if you want to surpass him, you not only have to improve your own cultivation, but also make the other party slow down, isn't it?

Lao Wu explained proudly, but Xu Chen's heart still couldn't let go, after all, the money was still too much to spend.

Just as Xu Chen was talking to Lao Wu, the auctioneer on the square platform suddenly had a much lower voice, "The following item to be auctioned is the last item in this auction." Of course, if there are any of the guests who come here regularly, they must know that this item has been sold for many years. However, we still use it as the finale every time to see if someone who knows the goods will take it away one day. ”

As he spoke, the auctioneer took a tin box from a man, and he carefully opened the lid of the tin box, and it seemed that this item must be extremely precious.

The auctioneer stretched out two fingers and took out a pill from the tin box, and in order to make it clear to the people seated, he brought the pill close to the oil lamp, and everyone stood up and looked at it in an instant.

Of course, there are also some regulars who may have seen this thing, and they don't bother to get up at all, but their mouths keep making smack sounds, and it is difficult to hide their admiration.

"Haha!" the auctioneer laughed, "Although I have explained this pill countless times, I can't hide my love every time. Everyone, look at it! There is only one pill in this iron box, and its name is Red Pill. ”

At this time, the old man beside Xu Chen narrowed his eyes, smiled and nodded, "Young Master, this is the real purpose of our coming today!"
