A week later, the treasure exchange meeting officially began.
During this period, the system uncle finally succeeded in fishing secretly and obtained another 30 million experience points. However, after that, the porcupines ran away when they smelled the meal the uncle cooked with poisonous pork... Even if it looked very delicious and the fragrance spread ten miles away, it would not be enough. , but it attracted many ignorant little monsters.
In order to prevent accidental killing, the system had to be guarded. After a few days of guarding, the uncle went home in frustration...
The headquarters base of the Truth Office in China is located among the mountains in the northwest of Jicheng, and is very desolate.
This place is just a large area surrounded by simple barbed wire and high walls. It is full of three-story buildings and various warehouses and playgrounds. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary military camp.
Originally there were many village hunters here, but later several major military bases were stationed at the same time, and they were all designated as military restricted areas. Unrelated people were moved away one by one, and it became completely deserted.
Fang Ning is no longer unfamiliar with this place... The first time Knight A returned to China from the Land of Inheritance, he came out of here. During this week, the system uncle came in and out again from here for fishing.
Now that I think about it, this headquarters base in China is built around the entrance to the inheritance land.
Reminiscing that the Truth Office was established twenty years ago, but the inheritance place was discovered twelve years ago, it must have been relocated before finally being located here. This shows how important the inheritance place is.
At this time, an underground hall in the headquarters base was very wide and neat. There is a high platform inside, which is arranged similar to the scene where celebrities perform. There is a large electronic screen behind it. The difference is that there are sandalwood tables placed in front of the screen. On those sandalwood tables, there were many exquisite porcelain plates covered with red silk cloth.
There are pieces of red paper stuck on those porcelain plates, and each piece of red paper has regular script written with a brush, marking each and every one of the enviable names.
"Pure Heart Pill", "Obstacle Breaking List", "Shenpin Peiyuan Pill", "Millennium Cold Iron", "Ghost Withered Vine", "Najie Two Cubic Meters"...
They are all rare materials, or top-quality elixirs, and magic weapons, which cannot be manufactured in China at this time, or are difficult to collect...
It's just that everyone is a little strange. In previous years, most of them were finished products, but this year, most of them were just materials, and a few were finished medicinal pill instruments...
There were neat rows of seats under the stage, and most of the seats were already occupied. The crowd was buzzing and extremely lively. Everyone sitting there seemed to have put down their usual strong airs at this time, and everyone was as if they were going to a market...
Everyone knows who is the other. In this place, no one is holding on to airs. After all, if they are holding on, they will suffer a big loss when they exchange treasures...
"Ma Guanzhu, I have seen you. The plasters produced by Zishan Guan are not good. Since I was frightened when I was commentating on the last game, I have used three sets of your plasters, and I still can't get rid of them easily. I feel uncomfortable all the time, so I have to ask Tian Qingshan... "
"Master Lin, you get what you pay for, don't worry so much..."
On a seat in the hall, an old gentleman with white hair and a crane face, armed with a sword, was complaining to Master Ma of Zishan Temple.
Guanzhu Ma looked helpless and comforted this old customer. Ma Ping and Shen Xingchen were still beside him.
"His Holiness is well."
"His Holiness, you are well..."
"His Holiness, what I mentioned last time about becoming a disciple, why don't you decide on it today..."
On the other side, an old monk wearing a yellow cassock was nodding to everyone who came to salute and say hello, smiling and saying nothing.
"Hey, the people from the Ghost King Association haven't arrived yet..."
"I heard that I won't be participating this year."
"What's up?"
"You don't know this yet, but they have offended Tian Qingshan."
There were many voices, and there were thousands of people in the entire hall, which gathered most of the legal extraordinary organizations in China. Normally, due to the control of the Truth Office, random underground gatherings were prohibited without official permission.
Today we have such a large-scale gathering and get an opportunity to make friends with others. No wonder today is so lively.
… …
In the middle of the hustle and bustle in the hall, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Look, Venerable Shenlong and the others have arrived..."
The extraordinary people who were chatting among themselves all raised their heads, some even stood up, and looked at the entrance of the hall. The whole hall suddenly became quiet, just like the head teacher entering the middle school student study room at night...
Unlike many sect masters who were crowded when they came in, there was only a lone Zheng Dao following Knight A, and a staff member from the Truth Office in front of him led him to his seat.
Everyone glanced at each other, but no one came forward to greet him. Even Ma Laodao and Sect Master Lin Yuqing, who clearly knew Knight A, pretended not to have seen him.
The extraordinary beings are all well-informed. The strong ones all sensed the battle in Guigu Mountain, and there is a pervasive organization like Hummingbird. All forces with some background know that this Venerable Shenlong, who has just risen for more than half a year, Qi Mei of Tianqing Mountain was beaten to death with one stick...
Three years ago, the other party went around causing trouble and challenging people, specializing in fighting with those sects with deep foundations, and ruined six young talents. Her fall was very satisfying.
However, everyone will not move closer to Knight A because of this. They all think that Tian Qingshan, who has always been tyrannical and aloof, and seems to never disdain to interact with the common people, will never give up. Whoever gets close to Knight A will probably be angered in the future...
There was a period of silence before, and everyone thought it was the calm before the storm, and the explosion was just behind it.
At today's treasure exchange meeting, the Divine Dragon Lord actually appeared as usual. They even believed that Gu Buwei, who was about to appear soon, would definitely have an unprecedented collision with the Divine Dragon Lord!
But some people are confused. According to the truth, they should have expected that Venerable Shenlong should not be allowed to participate. Now they still allow the other party to come in. All kinds of conspiracies suddenly emerged in their minds: driving tigers and devouring wolves, snipe and clams fighting...
Fang Ning led Zheng Dao, calmly, and in complete silence, walked to the seat where "Venerable Dragon" was placed, located in the row closest to the high platform.
At this time, the old monk came over and said nothing. He just clasped his hands to Knight A, bowed and saluted, and then walked back slowly.
At this time, the silent atmosphere still continued, but many people began to secretly transmit messages.
"The Heavenly Crystal Dharma King is an Arhat from the upper realm and has descended to earth. He is not afraid of the green mountains on that day..."
"That's right, we can't do it. If someone takes notice of her, it will be very unlucky for Qi Mei to come to our door in three years." Some people were explaining to themselves.
At this time, there were also a few strong men who frowned. They had keenly discovered that Knight A's soul was seriously injured at this time!
The previous battle between Knight A in the Land of Inheritance and the subsequent battle with the descendants of the Three Gods of Tianzhu were blocked by the Truth Office, so only insiders knew about it.
Now these strong men believe that this must be because of the battle in front of Guigu Mountain. Although Lord Shenlong returned with a great victory, he was also seriously injured.
Someone started to send a message to others again: "Not to mention that Tian Qingshan is interested, but if they are included in the blacklist of transactions and refuse us to buy their magic weapons and elixirs, we will suffer huge losses. There are still many people in our sect." There are two waiting to break through the realm, so they are counting on the barrier-breaking pill this time."
Sitting on the table, Fang Ning just drank tea in silence. Although he couldn't hear what those people said, he could only tell what they were thinking from their evasive eyes and the gloating attitude of some people.
But he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, he just kept talking to the system uncle.
System: "These people are so unkind, but I stand up for them... They actually treat us like the god of plague. They all pretend not to know each other, and they don't come to express condolences or send some medicinal materials to treat the injury. I am in peace with Qiao An." Far worse. They are now exactly the same as those wild boars that ran away when they saw my bait... "
Fang Ning thought it was completely normal. Even though everyone was happy to criticize Tian Qingshan in private, when it came to the stage, most people would still choose to be wise and protect themselves.
He said: "I knew the uncle would say this, so we have to be the strongest. Only in this way can we act chivalrously and do justice without having to worry about being retaliated by evil people. Only then will these people who tend to be in favor of others come to curry favor with us and send medicine and condolences to the uncle."
System: "It seems that the price must be set higher in the future. These guys are all unjust and follow the trend. We cannot be kind to them... Get the resources back from these guys and strengthen us so that we can better perform our duties." .”
Fang Ning: "Yes, I support you. Your actions are definitely in line with chivalry."
System: "Hey, host, when you say this, I feel that the chivalrous attribute is really a bit higher..."
Guanzhu Ma looked around. When the old monk passed by to express his condolences, he wanted to stand up and go over to say hello. However, when he saw his young-looking son and the talented disciple he had just accepted, he sighed and said: sit down.
Since Venerable Shenlong entered, the tone of the whole hall suddenly became lower, and many people fell silent.
Time passed very slowly in this depressing atmosphere, and the grandfather clock in the hall kept ticking.
Uncle System continued to practice his own skills, not affected by the atmosphere at all.
Zheng Dao, who was sitting next to him, also had a normal expression and did not look aggrieved.
In the midst of the dullness, a sudden burst of laughter broke the atmosphere.
I saw a rugged man in his 40s walking in, it was Qiao Anping. His face was a little pale, which showed that the injury from the last time was not healed yet.
As soon as he walked in, he went straight to Knight A's seat and sat down as if there was no one else around.
"Honorable Sir, I haven't seen you for many days. He has done such a shocking act of kindness, helping the weak and eliminating the strong. He is truly the number one hero in ancient and modern times. Qiao admires him very much."
He raised his hand and said to Knight A, with a very sincere expression.
System: "Look, when it comes to him, he comes."
Fang Ning: "This is the person Ren Ruofeng sent to support us. Of course, it must also be at Qiao Anping's personal request. Otherwise, he was seriously injured and we wouldn't have let him attend. Seeing as he's not ready yet, you can send him some more treatment." Medicine for the soul.”
System: "Why?"
Fang Ning rolled his eyes: "Let's show it to those people who want to follow the trend and advertise it."
System: "Okay, then I have to give him something good."
System prompt: (The system consumed 10,000 experience points, used high-quality vitality medicinal materials, and used elementary "alchemy" to create three powerful soul-boosting pills.)
Fang Ning was very satisfied and held out three crystal clear and green pills in his hand.
"Fellow Daoist Qiao, it's just a trivial matter, it's just something I did casually. I shouldn't praise you like this. These three nine-turn soul resurrecting pills were just successfully refined by me. They are the most effective in curing the wounds of the soul. Please accept them, lest you follow the right path." Fatigue…”
After Fang Ning finished speaking, he scanned the whole place. No one dared to look at him. This was a master that even Tianqingshan didn't pay attention to. They didn't dare to get close, but they didn't dare to offend each other...
