On the other side of the street, in a high-rise room of a restaurant, there were two figures, a man and a woman, sitting opposite each other.
The man was about thirty years old, with a cold and stern temperament, and he had the aura of a superior person. The woman was younger, with fair skin, beautiful appearance, and extremely luxurious clothes.
Suddenly, the cold and stern man's expression suddenly changed, and then he groaned, uncontrollably falling from his chair to the ground, along with all the tea sets on the table.
The scalding tea was spilled all over his body, and the man was in a very embarrassed state. What was even more strange was that his face was extremely pale, and a wisp of blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Wang, you..." The beautiful woman finally reacted and was startled. She quickly stood up and tried to help her up, but was rejected by the other party with a wave of her hand.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." The man waved his hand, wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then slowly stood up. His eyes glanced somewhere outside the window, and he felt great fear in his heart.
Walking to the window, he bowed quickly and respectfully, and then, not daring to look any further, he took up the woman's sleeves and hurried away.
…
"He's a member of the royal family again!" With his spiritual consciousness retracted, Mo Juren's eyes flashed with surprise. As soon as he arrived in Jinjing City, he met two waves of people from the royal family. It was really a 'fate'.
The two people just now, or to be more precise, it should be the man, seemed to have quite a bit of hostility towards Sister Ye Qingxue.
This was not a random guess on his part, but a well-founded one. When he came to the door of Qionghua Residence just now, he noticed that someone was 'peeping', especially when he looked at the Ye family sisters, there was no coldness in their eyes at all.
cover up.
What made him even more confused was that the other party's eyes contained not only hostility, but also a hint of extreme greed. Although it was well concealed, it could not be hidden from his perception.
"It seems to be aimed at the little girl Ye Qingrou, which is interesting." Mo Juren thought thoughtfully. The little girl is still just a child. She must not be coveted for beauty. In this case, there may be something fishy.
ah.
"There must be something secret about that little girl. She always gave me a very special feeling when we walked together before." Yinyue had obviously noticed the peek just now and reminded her thoughtfully.
"Maybe, but what does this have to do with us?" Mo Juren said indifferently. He also had a similar feeling. He didn't know exactly what it was unless he investigated it personally.
"Aren't you curious? The other two sisters may be in danger, don't you plan to intervene?"
"I don't have that spare time. Besides, this is Jinjing City, the headquarters of the royal family. Even if there is danger, where will it be my turn to meddle in others' affairs?" Mo Juren shook his head slightly. The Ye family sisters might be in danger, but not here.
Something went wrong. Besides, this is also an internal matter within the royal family. Why would he, an outsider, get involved.
Thinking of this, he immediately retracted his thoughts and was too lazy to pay attention anymore. However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and he soon arrived in front of the door.
"Senior, the information you requested has been prepared. Do you want to see it?"
"Come in." Mo Juren waved his arm, and the door opened, and three figures walked in one after another.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a plain appearance and a slightly bloated figure. He was the shopkeeper Wu of Qionghuaju. Behind him were two pretty maids, each holding a mahogany tray in their hands.
There was an exquisite tea set on one of the trays, and the spiritual tea had obviously been brewed, and there was a faint fragrance of tea. The other was covered by a piece of red cloth, and as shopkeeper Wu slowly opened it,
What was revealed were dozens of jade slips.
After the maid set up the tea sets and filled the tea cups, shopkeeper Wu took the initiative to introduce:
"Senior has previously ordered that the information about the big auction and other small and medium-sized auctions held recently are all here. The difference is that the big auction only has some ordinary items on display in advance, and the rest of the treasures, as well as the finale
Everything is still kept secret."
"It is rumored that the grand finale of this auction is extremely special and vaguely related to an ancient secret realm, but is it true?" Mo Juren picked up one of the jade slips and suddenly asked again.
"It's been rumored outside, but I don't know whether it's true or not. Moreover, the organizer has never given a definite answer to this matter." Shopkeeper Wu shook his head slightly.
"It may not be without reason..." Mo Juren murmured, and then changed the topic,
"I'd like to trouble Shopkeeper Wu with today's affairs."
"Senior, what did you say? It is my honor to be able to serve you, so why bother? If you have anything to do, just continue to give me orders. I will do my best." Not to mention that the person in front of me is a strong man.
Just looking at the princess' previous attitude towards this person, shopkeeper Wu didn't dare to neglect him at all.
After giving the promise, he did not disturb the other party again, then bowed respectfully, turned around and left with the two maids.
"What a wonderful man!" The door closed again. Mo Juren couldn't help but smile and ignored it, then looked at the dozen jade slips on the table.
There was still some time before the big auction started, so he was naturally not in a hurry, but before that, he needed to collect resources immediately.
First of all, of course, there are major stores in several markets. In addition, there are some small and medium-sized auctions, where the quality of the items is also not bad.
This was the purpose of asking shopkeeper Wu to help collect auction information.
Dajin is rich in resources. Many things that are rare in Tiannan and even in the Sea of Stars cannot be said to be everywhere here, but they are not scarce.
Even Dajin has no shortage of various materials related to monsters and beasts.
The strength of the demon clan here is not weak, far from being comparable to that in the Chaotic Star Sea. Whether it is the Ten Thousand Demons Valley on land, or the demon clan in the North Sea, etc., they have a lot of say in the entire Great Jin Immortal World.
Of course, good things won't be cheap anywhere, but for Mo Juren, how many spiritual stones he spends is not within his scope of consideration. Being able to buy what he needs is the goal.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The thought of being able to gather the required materials soon made him feel hot in his heart.
He probed a ray of spiritual consciousness into one of the jade slips, and it was just as he had guessed. Even if it was only a medium-sized auction, the richness and high quality of the auction items far exceeded expectations.
Unlike large auctions, the information of these small and medium-sized auctions is very detailed, and all the lots are clear at a glance. He only needs to choose according to his needs.
With his financial resources, this is not a difficult task.
I checked other jade slips one after another, and those small-level ones were still a bit inferior. After all, they were only open to monks in the Qi-training and foundation-building stages. There were not many good ones, but for the medium-sized ones, it was necessary to participate in several of them.
It is self-evident that it can be included as one of the many lots in the auction. It is almost not available in stores. This is the same situation in the world of immortality everywhere.
Therefore, he had to attend in person, but he suddenly noticed something. Several of the auctions seemed to overlap in time.
He didn't want to miss any of the events. After thinking about it for a moment, he made a decision and asked others to participate on his behalf.
Then he looked at the last jade slip, which was about the Grand Auction in Jinjing. As Shopkeeper Wu said, the information in it was a bit brief and only introduced a small part of the lots. After that, it was about the time of the auction.
Location and process introduction, etc.
This is obviously a bit perfunctory.
Mo Juren shook his head slightly, but he was too lazy to care about this. What he really cared about was the other part of the big auction, the underground trade fair.
Different from the former, most of the items that appear in underground trade fairs cannot be seen in the light, and some are even prohibited by the world of immortality. Therefore, to a certain extent, there are more good things there.
Unfortunately, the jade slips that Shopkeeper Wu found did not contain information about the underground trade fair, so he had to find another way.
Putting down the jade slip, he began to think deeply while drinking tea.
…
The next morning, Mo Juren left "Qionghuaju" early and headed straight to the west city.
There are several cities in Jinjing City, each located in different locations. They are all small areas isolated by some clever concealment formation.
These are invisible to mortals, but they are no secret to monks.
Among them, a small market located in the West City is much larger than the others. It is even the location of every major auction, so it is naturally his first choice.
Traveling quickly, he soon appeared at the entrance of Fangshi, passed through an invisible barrier, and then appeared on a slightly deserted street.
Of course, the so-called coldness is only compared to the bustling mortals outside. There are also a lot of monks here. At a glance, there are hundreds of them, constantly coming in and out of the shops on both sides of the street.
Mo Juren looked at it for a while, but his eyes suddenly glanced towards a certain location in the center of the street, and something strange suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Sure enough, during the big auction, there were strong people in the Nascent Soul stage sitting in the market, and there was more than one, and there was even a person in the late Yuanying stage among them.
This makes sense. In such a large-scale auction, there are countless monks participating, and there are many powerful ones. If there are not enough powerful people to take charge, I am afraid that things will go wrong long ago.
Walking slowly on the street, Mo Juren continued to look around. As expected of Kyoto, all the shops in the market here have a good background, and almost all of them are famous merchants from Jin Dynasty.
Although it is not the main store, it is not bad at all in terms of scale.
After walking not far, Mo Juren saw the signboard of Tianji Pavilion again. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and then walked directly in.
Compared with other surrounding businesses, the scale of Tianji Pavilion is obviously much larger, business is also good, and there is an endless stream of monks coming in and out.
Entering the first floor, what you see is a hall about thirty to forty feet long and wide. Dozens of customers are standing in front of different shelves, constantly communicating with some handsome young men in Qi training period wearing standard clothes.
.
Most of these guests were in the foundation-building stage, with occasionally one or two pill-forming stages mixed in. As for the Qi-training stage monks, none were seen.
Mo Juren simply concealed his cultivation, which can be easily seen by monks above the elixir formation stage.
Therefore, as soon as Fang entered, the expression of a middle-aged monk in white robes sitting in the corner of the hall changed instantly, and then he stood up with a loud sound, walked a few steps closer, and greeted with unusual respect:
"Welcome to Tianji Pavilion, senior. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Who is in charge here? I plan to buy some rare materials and want to talk to them." Mo Juren said calmly without changing his expression.
"As a junior, I am the shopkeeper here and I can make the final decision on most of the products. Of course, the rare materials that senior needs are not available here. How about following me to the third floor to discuss it in detail?"
"Lead the way." Mo Juren nodded, and then, under the guidance of the other party, he went upstairs in a hurry.
After the two people left, the hall instantly became lively.
"He is actually a strong man in the Nascent Soul stage. No wonder the shopkeeper is so respectful..."
"Who says it's not? But as the big auction is about to begin, more and more powerful people will come to Jinjing. It's not surprising to see them now..."
"This is a really big customer. It seems that Tianji Pavilion is going to make a fortune again..."
"..."
The third floor of Tianji Pavilion is not large, but the decoration is very modest, giving people an elegant and unique feeling.
There were two young and beautiful female nuns standing in the hall. As soon as they saw a distinguished guest coming in, they immediately stepped forward to salute diligently, and then made tea.
"This is the Yuwu Ling Tea that I bought with a lot of money. It is a new product this year. It has a unique taste. Senior, try it and see how it tastes?" After the other party sat down, the middle-aged monk immediately said with a smile.
As a master of tea ceremony, Mo Juren can naturally see that the quality of Lingcha is indeed very good, not much worse than the top Lingcha in his collection.
I took a sip and found that it had a unique taste that lingered on my lips and teeth.
There was no rush about drinking tea. Mo Juren slowly put down the tea bowl, and a jade slip appeared in his hand, which he handed directly to the other party and said:
"Mo wants to buy some materials, which are quite rare. Fellow Taoist, why don't you see how much you can get together?"
"Senior, wait a moment." The middle-aged monk did not hesitate, and immediately picked up the jade slip and began to examine it. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and at the same time he was a little stunned.
After a moment, he regained his consciousness and said:
"The materials that senior wants to buy are indeed not simple. Some of them are rare things that can only be found. Even this pavilion can only collect a small part of them.
But seniors, don’t worry. As far as I know, there are several stores in the city that happen to have stocks, so we should be able to get them together.
On the other hand, the other part of the material is indeed a bit special. To be honest, this junior has been in business for many years and I can’t say that I know everything about the world, but I know enough about it, but I have never heard of these types of things.
"
"I also know about these situations. Some of the materials may be from ancient times, but the names have been changed by now. I wonder if there is anyone in your store who is familiar with this kind of knowledge?" Mo Juren nodded, having met him before.
After experiencing a similar situation, I naturally thought of a solution.
"I see, this junior really didn't expect this. It's a coincidence that there really is such a person in the city. It is Fairy Sanghua, the owner of 'Tongyue Tower'. She has knowledge about the customs and customs of ancient times, and all kinds of
There are in-depth studies on classics and so on.
However, this woman has a very weird personality and temper. She cannot be called out easily. I have to go there in person. Please wait here for a while and I will be back." The middle-aged monk's eyes lit up and he confessed.
After that, he immediately got up and walked outside.
"Fairy Sanghua?" Mo Juren looked slightly surprised. Such a knowledgeable person thought he would be an old man, but he never thought it was a woman. He couldn't help but feel a little interested in him.
