The three major families in Mohe City, the Xiao family, the Zhang family and the Tang family, each have a large number of real estate and shops in the city, but none of the three major families is involved in the auction house, the most profitable place in the city.
All this is just because of the name of this auction house, Linlang Pavilion.
Linlang Pavilion, the largest auction house in the Qin Empire, has its distribution points in the thirty-six counties of the nine states of the empire, and the owner behind it is the current consort Nangong Lie. With the royal relatives and the huge power of the Nangong family, no one dared to offend him under this background.
Perhaps in some larger cities and imperial capitals, there are forces that can compete with the Nangong family and dare to open a second or third auction house, but in this small Mohe City, no one dares to kick their noses. Go ahead and open this second auction house.
Linlang Pavilion is the destination of Xiao Chen's trip. He cannot reveal his identity as an alchemist and go to the Xiao family to get money, let alone sell the moon stone in the room for money. If he wants to get money quickly, he can only rely on The Bigu Pill I refined last night.
After adjusting his cloak and looking at the gorgeous signboard of Linlang Pavilion, Xiao Chen showed a smile on his face under the shadow and slowly walked into Linlang Pavilion.
Because of the low flow of people, Linlang Pavilion in Mohe City only holds a small auction every month, a medium-sized auction only every three months, and a large-scale auction only once a year. At that time, it was also the busiest time in Mohe City.
It is almost the end of the month now. There are many people in the hall on the first floor who come to see the goods in advance. These people are undoubtedly not very high-status people in Mohe City. Among them, the three major families have the largest number of people. Xiao Chen and even I saw many acquaintances from the Xiao family, but this was not the time to say hello.
A dangerous aura suddenly came from behind, followed by a palm that was about to reach down. Xiao Chenming felt this aura keenly, and his body suddenly flashed forward, turning around and taking action instantly.
Phew!
He immediately grabbed the man's wrist. Xiao Chen grabbed the man's wrist with a little force. The man immediately showed a pained expression and shouted sternly: "Asshole, let me go."
This man was wearing a blue and white warrior robe. He looked like a twenty-seven-year-old, and his cultivation was at the middle level of a warrior. There was a yellow money flower embroidered on his collar. Xiao Chen knew in his heart that this man should be the guard of Linlang Pavilion. But he has no intention of letting go.
The strength in his hand increased again, and he said coldly: "Why did you attack me?"
The man screamed in pain again and cursed: "You bastard, let go quickly, or else you won't be able to leave Linlang Pavilion."
The voices of the two people quickly attracted the people around them. They looked at Xiao Chen jokingly. Xiao Chen's cultivation was only at the low-level level of a warrior. These people could tell at a glance that a small low-level warrior dared to come to Linlang Pavilion. Making trouble is too reckless.
Soon a large group of warriors dressed in blue and white, with money flowers embroidered on their collars, led by a warrior in the martial arts realm, surrounded Xiao Chen.
The martial artist had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was burly and strong, but the expression on his face was extremely cautious. He did not appear particularly angry or irritable. His eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. After taking a look at Xiao Chen, he focused his gaze on Xiao Chen's grasp. On the person, a cold voice said: "Gao Long, what's going on?"
Gao Long, whose wrist was held by Xiao Chen, had an extremely painful expression on his face. Electric currents continued to flow from Xiao Chen's hands, pouring into his body. Every time the vitality he finally gathered, he touched this current. The current immediately dissipated without a trace, leaving him unable to break free from Xiao Chen's hand.
"Captain, this man is dressed strangely. After entering the hall, he looked around with a stern look. I'm afraid he has some ulterior motives, so I want to capture him and question him." Gao Long said in a trembling voice.
He was a mid-level warrior who was detained by a low-level warrior. Even if he was justified this time and lost the face of Linlang Pavilion, he would definitely not be able to escape the captain's punishment. When he thought of the captain's punishment, Gao Long's body couldn't bear it. trembled.
The high-ranking warrior who was called the captain looked at Xiao Chen's dress with some doubts in his heart. Who among the people here was not glamorous and dressed in fine silk and satin? Who would dress up in such a weird way like Xiao Chen, wearing a cloak? Covering his whole body, he looked shady.
"This friend is Jiang Qi, the guard commander of the first floor of Linlang Pavilion. I don't know why you are here, but what do you want to buy." Although he had already formed a stereotype about Xiao Chen in his heart, Jiang Qi still asked in a cautious manner.
"No." The shadow under the cloak completely covered Xiao Chen's face, making it impossible to see any expression on his face.
Gao Long, who was being held captive by him, had a happy expression on his face when he heard this. If he wasn't here to buy anything, he would naturally be here to cause trouble. Since he was here to cause trouble, this kid would definitely not be able to get out. With an extremely sinister smile in his heart, the pain in his hands seemed to lessen.
"Do you have any friends here?" Jiang Qi still asked patiently, but the murderous intention that had been hidden was released unscrupulously. As long as Xiao Chen's answer was negative again, he would immediately take action, no matter who was there. Everyone who causes trouble in Linlang Pavilion has only one end, death!
The aura of Jiang Qi's top-grade martial artist dispersed around, and the murderous aura firmly enveloped Xiao Chen. The cold murderous aura even made the people around him tremble. When these people looked at Xiao Chen, they already regarded him as a human being. Dead people.
The murderous aura is so strong that people around it can feel it. In fact, it is also due to the lack of realm. It is condensed but not real. The murderous aura of a real master can be gathered into a linear network, gathering but not dispersing, all covering the target, and the surrounding people. People can't feel it at all.
Xiao Chen, who was surrounded by murderous aura, showed no fear and said calmly: "I have no friends here."
Jiang Qi sneered, "That's offending."
call!
The surrounding air suddenly turned cold, and the biting cold air gathered on his body. A line of ice wrapped his fist and blasted towards Xiao Chen with a roar.
Xiao Chen took a step back, turned Gao Long's body in a circle in the air, and threw it towards Jiang Qi. Then he calmly took the jade bottle of Bigu Pill from his arms and gently opened the bottle cap. , a strong medicinal fragrance spread around, and soon the whole hall on the first floor was filled with this medicinal fragrance.
"What kind of elixir is this and why does it smell so good?"
"Is this guy an alchemist?"
"It looks very similar to me. Those alchemists behave very strangely, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm."
In the hall, there was a burst of discussion. These were people with some status who had come into contact with elixirs, but they had never seen elixirs with such a strong fragrance. For a while, they regarded Xiao Chen as a high-level mysterious alchemist. Pharmacist.
Under the cloak, Xiao Chen's mouth corners slightly raised, and he smiled: "Is there not even one person to discuss business in such a huge Linlang Pavilion?"
Jiang Qi, who had just caught Gao Long, threw him on the ground. When he heard Xiao Chen's words and saw the pill in Xiao Chen's hand, he knew that he might have gotten into trouble. He quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Senior, I'm sorry, I apologize for my clumsy eyes."
Although Xiao Chen's strength is only a low-grade warrior, if he can refine high-grade elixirs, it would be natural for him to call him "senior".
Gao Long, who was lying on the ground, gritted his teeth and screamed in pain. Xiao Chen used great force when he threw him to Jiang Qi. With Jiang Qi's casual throw, there was no missing part of his body. pain. Hearing Jiang Qi's words, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. What kind of bad luck did he have today? He actually offended an alchemist as a sneaky thief.
Xiao Chen didn't pay attention to the change in Jiang Qi's attitude. These were all within his expectations. There was nothing surprising. He continued: "Stop talking nonsense and take me to your treasure appraiser. My elixir will be here soon." It will be auctioned at the end of this month.”
Jiang Qi thanked him again and led Xiao Chen to the cabinet. Along the way, he made insidious inquiries about Xiao Chen's background. Naturally, Xiao Chen would not be fooled by this trick and told a lot of nonsense with half truths and half lies.
Looking at Xiao Chen's leaving figure, after a long time, the quiet hall on the first floor broke into the pot again, and the voices of discussion continued one after another.
"This alchemist is actually here to bid. Old Chen, do you remember the last time Linlang Pavilion auctioned elixirs?"
"At the large-scale auction held last year, a third-grade elixir was auctioned."
"I think this year's large-scale auction may be held in advance. The elixir brought by the mysterious man is definitely third-grade or above."
"Nonsense, how can a third-grade elixir have such a strong fragrance? The fourth-grade elixir I have ever seen does not have such a strong fragrance." Someone immediately came out to retort from the man's side.
"How is it possible? The person who refined the fourth-grade elixir must be at least a fourth-grade alchemist. There are not many fourth-grade alchemists in the entire Roger State. How could they come to a small Mohe City like ours."
For a while, a fierce debate began in the hall about what grade of elixir this mysterious elixir was.
…
At this time, Mr. Hu, the elixir appraiser in the cabinet, was sweating profusely. He was thinking hard in his mind about the grade of this elixir. Bigu Pill, you don’t need to eat for a month after taking it. What kind of elixir is this? Medicine is simply unheard of in Da Qin.
The treasure appraisers in Linlang Pavilion are naturally very discerning. These treasure appraisers are trained by Linlang Pavilion themselves and will be assigned to them after passing various assessments. The treasure appraisers in Linlang Pavilion all start from the lowest level. Then move up based on performance.
Therefore, even if the true strength of the treasure appraiser in Mohe City is compared to other auction houses, he can stand alone in any state-level auction house.
Mr. Hu carefully looked at the elixir in his hand. He was sure that this elixir was definitely not something to fool people. Whether it was the fragrance of the elixir, or the smoothness and color, it could not be refined by ordinary people. But he had never heard of any pill in this world called Bigu Pill. How to price it made him worried for a while.
Xiao Chen sat on the chair again, took a sip of the tea placed next to him, looked at Mr. Hu who was still trying to figure it out, and said impatiently: "Mr. Hu, after studying for so long, we can make a quotation. "
Mr. Hu wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally decided to play it safe. He said apologetically: "Your Excellency, please wait a moment. I cannot identify this elixir. I will ask the Pavilion Master to come."
Xiao Chen put down the tea cup and made a sign of please. He was still a little confident about whether Linlang could successfully identify the Bigu Pill.
