Walking out of the imperial city gate, the streets were crowded with people, and the sounds of noise and hawking could be heard one after another.
The Shura disciples dispersed in pairs, and poured into the crowd, looking here and there curiously, having a lot of fun.
Wu Tian, Di Tian, Yetian, Tian Gang and Han Tian went directly to Wan Bao Pavilion.
As for Meng Xuan, she did not come with us and stayed at the garrison. It was certain that for some reason, Han Tian did not allow her to come.
When they were halfway there, Han Tian asked in confusion, "Where's the little guy?"
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "He went out last night and hasn't come back yet. I don't know where he went to fool around."
"Haha, this little brat, I don't know which family he has gone to cause trouble again, he really makes me worry!" Di Tian laughed.
Wu Tian smiled bitterly and said nothing more.
The pedestrians on the street are basically the native residents of Fengyang City. Occasionally, they would run into people from the Tianyang Sect and the Yunu Sect, but everyone just glanced at them and didn't say much.
After yesterday's visit, Di Tian knew the route to Wanbao Pavilion. He led the way. Half an hour later, Wu Tian and his four companions arrived in front of a palace.
This hall has three floors and is very large and magnificent.
On the gate, there are three ancient characters "Wanbao Pavilion", which look like iron hooks and silver strokes, vigorous and powerful, and exude a solemn aura.
"Welcome everyone to Wanbao Pavilion."
When Wu Tian and his companions entered the hall, they were immediately greeted by a woman in white. She had a sweet smile on her face and a clear and moving voice, with some doubt in her voice: "You are all new faces. I guess this must be your first time at Wanbao Pavilion!"
"That's right." In this kind of situation, it was natural for Di Tian to speak. He had a sunny smile on his face, which made people feel very affectionate at first glance.
The woman in white glanced at several people and was immediately surprised. These people had such a strong aura and extraordinary temperament, even better than the noble children in the city.
"I guess they are from Qinglongzhou." With just one glance, the woman in white determined the identities of Wutan and others, which shows how sharp her vision is.
"Haha!" The woman smiled and said, "You guys came to my humble pavilion. Are you planning to sell items, buy items, or even auction items?"
Di Tian smiled and said, "Young lady, you know that this is our first time in your pavilion, and we don't know the general situation yet. Could you introduce it to us?"
"It is my honor. Please follow me."
The woman in white spoke with a smile, and then walked in front, pointing inside the hall and introducing everyone one by one. Wu Tian and others also learned the woman's name, Shi Jiaoyun, and she was a receptionist at Wanbao Pavilion.
According to Shi Jiaoyun, Wanbao Pavilion is divided into three floors in total, and each floor is very large, about a thousand feet in area.
The first floor is dedicated to receiving guests who come to sell items. Shi Jiaoyun said that Wanbao Pavilion treats people sincerely, offers fair prices, and never treats others unfairly. Therefore, it is deeply loved by everyone. Even people from other towns will take the trouble to travel long distances just to trade with Wanbao Pavilion.
Wu Tian and others looked around and found that it was just as they said. Many people who came to sell items looked exhausted and had happy smiles on their faces, obviously very satisfied with the prices.
When they arrived at the second floor, there were much fewer people than on the first floor, but there were many more counters than on the first floor, and all kinds of items were placed on the counters.
People stood in front of the counter in twos and threes, some looking at the items inside, and some bargaining with the staff.
"The second floor is where you can buy things." Shi Jiaoyun said with a smile: "Although the items here are not good, they are rare for ordinary people. If you are interested, you can take a look around. Maybe you can see one or two things that suit your taste."
Several people looked around and shook their heads. What was sold here were basically animal skins, monster bones and flesh, ordinary elixirs, spiritual weapons and the like.
It is a good thing for most people, but for a few people, it is of no use at all.
"Huh!"
Wutan walked to a counter and looked curiously at the several palm-sized forbidden talismans inside.
"Brother, these are some fourth-level killing and illusion ban talismans. Do you want to buy one?" Xiao Si, who was dressed as a staff member next to him, hurriedly introduced enthusiastically.
Upon hearing the word "fourth level", Wutan immediately lost interest, shook his head, and turned away.
Xiao Si hurriedly said, "Hey, don't go. If you don't like it, I still have a few fifth-level and sixth-level forbidden talismans here."
Wutan shook his head and ignored it. Now he was only interested in forbidden talismans above the eighth level. As for those below that, he had no desire to look at them at all.
"Another pretender. He's not a forbidden master, but he comes to see the forbidden talisman. The people in this world are really ridiculous." Xiao Si shook his head and sighed, full of sarcasm. His voice was very small, but it was clearly heard by several people.
Immediately, Tian Gang was about to attack, but Wutan waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to pay attention, and then followed Shi Jiaoyun into the third floor.
Shi Jiaoyun had been watching them all the time, especially when Xiao Si made rude remarks, she did not miss a single thing.
As a receptionist, the first purpose is to find out the identity of the guests and see if they have a lot of wealth. And now, she got the answer.
Because she saw indifference in the eyes of Wutan and the others. Yes, very indifference. If it were someone else, they would definitely be furious and show their strength to prove themselves.
But these people didn't do so, the reason is obvious, disdain! Disdain to argue with others, and people who can have such a temperament and such self-confidence must have a good status and position in Qinglongzhou.
After getting the information she wanted, Shi Jiaoyun became even more enthusiastic. She took a few people upstairs and introduced them.
The third floor is the auction hall, where all items auctioned are rare and precious, and those who can come here are basically people of noble status and prominent family background.
"Everyone, please follow me." Shi Jiaoyun led a few people into a VIP room. Several animal skin chairs were placed in the center. On the wall in front of the chairs was a transparent window.
According to Shi Jiaoyun, in order to ensure the safety and privacy of the guests, the scene outside can be seen from the inside, but the inside cannot be seen from the outside.
"The auction started an hour ago. However, the items being auctioned at the beginning were not particularly precious. The precious treasures were put on the auction list later. You guys can take a look first. I will serve you some tea right away." Shi Jiaoyun said.
Di Tian bowed and said, "Thank you for your help!"
"You're welcome. This is what a woman should do." Shi Jiaoyun bowed slightly, turned around and walked out of the private room, closing the door.
Han Tian looked around and shook his head, saying, "Wanbao Pavilion is indeed one of the three major forces in Zhongyaozhou. The floor is paved with diamonds, and the walls are inlaid with jade, pearls, and agate. The tiger skin on the chair is also from the Overlord Tiger of the Hundred Dynasties Period. Just a branch is so luxurious, how great is its headquarters, Wanjun City!"
Wutan had no interest in these. He looked outside through the window. There was a high platform in the center. On it, an old man in black was holding a tray in his hands. He was shouting and encouraging, obviously trying to sell the items on the tray.
All around, there are windows built around the platform, probably about a hundred of them, exactly the same as the windows in front of me. It goes without saying that these are private rooms.
However, the item on the old man's tray was a spiritual medicine of decent quality, and it did not cause a scramble for it, so only a few private rooms heard bidding sounds, and most people chose to remain silent.
“How boring! I thought what was being auctioned was some incredible treasure, but it turned out to be some useless elixirs.” Tian Gang said.
"If you give me this kind of thing, I think it takes up too much space." Ye Tian also shook his head, feeling quite bored.
Di Tian smiled and said, "Didn't others say that precious things will be put aside for auction later? Don't worry. Anyway, you have nothing to do now, so you might as well wait slowly!"
Hearing this, several people began to close their eyes and recuperate.
…
On the second floor of Wanbao Pavilion, Shi Jiaoyun was holding a tray with several teacups and teapots on it as she passed by Fei Xiaosi who was selling forbidden talismans.
Xiao Si said: "Sister Yun, wait a moment."
Shi Jiaoyun asked doubtfully: "Qi Ping, is there something wrong?"
Xiao Si grinned, sniffed the tea fragrance, frowned, and asked in confusion: "Sister Yun, who are they? Why do they want you to entertain them with "Biquanxiang"?"
Shi Jiaoyun shook her head and was about to leave, but Xiao Si grabbed her sleeve and begged, "Sister Yun, since I helped you test them just now, please tell me!"
Shi Jiaoyun shook her head and laughed, and whispered: "I am not sure about the identities of these people, but I suspect that they are from the Shura Palace of Qinglongzhou."
"Ashura Palace..." Xiao Si pondered for a while and said in surprise: "You mean, they are disciples of the Ashura Palace, one of the three major forces in Qinglongzhou?!"
Shi Jiaoyun shook her head. She couldn't be sure because there were no relevant marks on the bodies of the people. Then, she smiled and said, "Their identities are not important. It is enough to know that they have essence."
"Hey, Sister Yun, don't forget me when the time comes!" Xiao Si rubbed his hands, his tone quite flattering.
"Know it!"
Shi Jiaoyun rolled her eyes, held the cup of fragrant tea, twisted her slender waist, and walked towards the third floor.
Wanbao Pavilion has a rule that if the guests received by the receptionists spend a certain amount of money, they can take a small commission from them.
Therefore, the receptionists here, whenever they receive a guest, will test in advance whether the guest has enough wealth. If they cannot find out by themselves, they will join forces with others to put on a show.
If there is, they will naturally greet the guests with a smile, after all, they can also get corresponding compensation. If there is no, they will find an excuse to leave the guests alone and ignore them.
"White hair, white clothes, five colors of hair..."
After Shi Jiaoyun left, the smile on Xiao Si's face suddenly disappeared, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look. After a moment, he took out the Wanxiang Order and sent a message.
…
Wuhou Mansion.
In the bedroom.
Vientiane was buzzing.
"Humph, although I cannot kill you for the time being to avenge my son, I still want to collect some interest first."
When Wu Hou received the news, he snorted coldly, and when he walked out of the room, he waved his sleeves and the door slammed shut.
