Chapter 27 The Eve of the Auction
In the evening, Ling Qingzhu and He Wenlong came to the city lord's mansion for a banquet.
It could be seen that the Lord of Fangquan City was really serious about it. Although there were only three people, the dinner was arranged in a very luxurious way, with some sky-high-priced dishes and fine wine from restaurants outside filling the table in front of them.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, the Lord of Fangquan City spoke: "Miss Gu, I wonder if you can tell me what the goods in this auction are. If you want to let the news out and attract customers, you can't even auction it.
Why don’t you disclose the use of the product?”
"What the Lord City Lord said is absolutely true. The final items I plan to auction in this auction are three Nirvana Pills that can improve your cultivation qualifications, and ten Three-Star Pills that can increase your life span by a hundred years even if taken by ordinary people.
Twenty recovery pills that can increase the recovery speed of vitality ten times after consumption, and three royal weapons, including body skills, boxing skills, and sword skills." Ling Qingzhu nodded, and then explained.
The Lord of Fangquan City's eyes widened after hearing this. He could imagine how shocked the surrounding Cultivation Congress would be once the news was revealed.
Because except for the last three exercises, which did not specify what grade they were and the three royal weapons that were rare and hard to find, whether it was the Three-Star Pill, the Huiyuan Pill, or the Nirvana Pill, even he felt moved.
If He Wenlong's aura hadn't made him feel afraid, he wouldn't have been able to resist grabbing it.
The Lord of Fangquan City has no doubt whether Ling Qingzhu can take out these things, because this is completely seeking death.
If these items cannot be obtained by the time the auction begins, the monk will be furious after discovering that she has been deceived and will start hunting her down on her own initiative.
There was no injustice in the past and no hatred in recent days. The Lord of Fangquan City could not think of a reason why Ling Qingzhu had the destiny to trick him.
"Miss Gu is really the best among people. If you have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, please don't forget me. I'll toast you." The Lord of Fangquan City shook his head and toasted.
Although the origin of Ling Qingzhu is unknown, his value is really huge. The Lord of Fangquan City naturally wants to get closer and have the opportunity to benefit in the future. For this reason, he even changed his title of "Lord of this City" to someone of his own generation.
First person pronoun "I".
Ling Qingzhu is also well aware of the principle of multiple friends and multiple paths. It doesn't matter whether the other party is sincerely friends with you, as long as the other party can provide you with a path when you need it, even if it costs money, it is worth it.
Who can say that they will never encounter difficulties?
So what I fear most is the despair of having no money and no options when I encounter difficulties.
What's more, now that Ling Qingzhu has rekindled the endless three thousand flames of the alien fire, whether it is wine or food, she just tastes it in her mouth.
Anything eaten will be burned and evaporated by the strange fire the moment it is swallowed, and even if it is poisonous, it will have no effect at all.
During this period, Ling Qingzhu also learned the name of the lord of Fangquan City, Wei Zhong.
After the meal, Ling Qingzhu and the Lord of Fangquan City discussed the venue and approximate time of the auction before saying goodbye and leaving.
In order to spread the news more widely, the city lord of Fangquan City and Ling Qingzhu discussed setting the auction for one and a half months later.
It will naturally not take that long to arrange the auction venue, but the speed of news transmission is relatively slow. If the auction venue is held immediately after it is arranged, there will definitely be many monks who have learned the news but will not be able to come.
During the layout of the site, the city lord of Fangquan City will take the initiative to send his men to contact the city lords of surrounding cities and jointly post notices. After the site is laid out, he will also arrange for these people to follow the caravan escorting the material trade and deliver news to the surrounding countries.
Of course, there is a reason why the Lord of Fangquan City works so hard. Ling Qingzhu nodded and promised to call him if there is any cooperation in the future, so the fame of the auction is also good for the Lord of Fangquan City himself.
After returning, Ling Qingzhu also passed on the three exercises to be auctioned at the auction to He Wenlong.
Because Ling Qingzhu didn't know what level her martial arts skills were in this world, she decided to let He Wenlong come on stage to show off her skills before the auction.
Within the next month and a half, Ling Qingzhu started refining weapons and elixirs every day with peace of mind. When she was lacking in mental strength, she would also teach He Wenlong's swordsmanship.
And He Wenlong was not idle either. In addition to practicing martial arts and swordsmanship, he was also responsible for running out to help Ling Qingzhu sell elixirs, spiritual weapons, and purchase elixirs and weapon refining materials.
Especially after practicing his body skills and adding the demon spirit, He Wenlong's speed has been greatly improved, and he can easily cross the distance between nearby cities.
Thanks to this, with He Wenlong's hard work, the elixirs and refining materials for the auction items such as Nirvana Pill, Huiyuan Pill, Sanxing Pill, and Royal Weapon were finally gathered together.
Of course, in being able to gather these materials, the monks attracted by the auction that the Lord of Fangquan City vigorously promoted also took a lot of credit.
Now in Fangquan City, it can be said that Ju Yuan is everywhere. Refining gods is not as good as a dog. Only the True King of Soul Forging can barely shake it off.
In addition to most of the customers who were attracted by the products, there were also some who were sent to investigate the details.
After all, an auction suddenly popped up. In addition to royal weapons, the products also included elixirs to increase life span and improve cultivation qualifications. There must be many forces interested in the person behind the scenes.
However, Ling Qingzhu had already thought of this, so he refined a white mask that could isolate his hidden face from detection.
Ling Qingzhu does not have the wisdom to make perfect plans, but she can prepare countermeasures in advance for all worries.
But now, Ling Qingzhu and He Wenlong are two people who suddenly appeared, and it is impossible for others to check them.
The city lord of Fangquan City is also very good at being a good person. He has been fully prepared for the auction for the past month and a half without revealing any news about Ling Qingzhu. He even had no contact with him for a month and a half, leaving Ling Qingzhu in a quiet environment.
It was not until this day, the day before the auction, that the Lord of Fangquan City sent his servants to invite Ling Qingzhu to the banquet again.
"Sir, my city lord is hosting a banquet at the city lord's mansion tonight, and we are hereby ordered to invite you to go."
"I already know about this matter. You go back and reply to the Lord of the City first. Just say that I will go there on time." Ling Qingzhu placed his fingers on the table and tapped the table twice before replying.
Ling Qingzhu knew that from the moment these servants of the City Lord's Mansion came here, her peaceful days would be far away.
Those monks who have been monitoring the city lord's palace in order to investigate the merchants behind the auction will never let go of exploring this place.
