"What's wrong?" Seeing him in a hurry, Zhang Xuan frowned.
This is the master of Mo Yunxuanxuan, a first-level expert in the Holy Domain, and a well-known official in Jingyuan City. If he is so anxious now, something must have happened.
"As soon as I arrived, I spread the news about the Ksitigarbha flower auction... Half an hour ago, a group of people came and insisted on buying it before the auction."
Hu Yunsheng, who looked unhappy, explained: "Looking at them, they look like they are trying to buy and sell by force."
"Forced buying and selling? Is he a poison master?" Zhang Xuan was stunned.
Isn’t Ksitigarbha flower very attractive to poison masters? Is it possible that other people also need it?
"No..." Hu Yunsheng shook his head.
"How do you confirm?" Zhang Xuan looked over doubtfully, and Zhang Xuan was surprised.
Isn't it impossible for a poison master to recognize someone when he is not using poison?
Why are you so sure?
"Because... I know the person who came!"
Hu Yunsheng's face turned red: "It's the Lord Hong Jin of Jingyuan City!"
"Why does he want the Ksitigarbha flower?" Zhang Xuan wondered.
The Ksitigarbha flower is what the poison master needs. Why would a city want to do this? And judging from the tone, he planned to forcefully buy it regardless of his identity.
"He didn't tell me the specific situation, and I don't know much about it. It's just that he insisted on buying it. I already said it was a senior's thing, and now he insists on seeing you..." Hu Yunsheng said.
"Go over and take a look!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
No matter what the other party wanted to do with the Ksitigarbha flower, since he was asked to go there by name, he naturally wanted to go over and take a look.
Following Hu Yunsheng, he walked forward. After a short time, he came to a spacious room.
A middle-aged man with a majestic face, sitting on the main seat with a golden sword and a majestic horse, with bright eyes and a superior aura.
Behind him are several guards wearing armor, each of them has the aura of a dragon, and they actually have the strength to transform into the ninth level of the Silkworm Sealing Realm.
"Lord City Lord, this is the owner of the Ksitigarbha flower, Senior Sun Qiang!"
Arriving in front of him, Hu Yunsheng cupped his fists and said.
The middle-aged man on the throne glanced at Zhang Xuan and saw that he was just a disciple. He smiled and said, "Friend, I want to buy your Ksitigarbha flower. Please give me a price!"
"What price can you give?" Seeing this person being so direct, Zhang Xuan was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows, and smiled faintly.
"A 100-year-old Ksitigarbha flower normally requires 80 high-grade spiritual stones. Yours is a little older, so I'll give you 100, plus a high-grade spiritual stone!"
The middle-aged man looked over.
"This price is a bit low!" Zhang Xuan raised his eyelids and looked over.
Not to mention the rarity of Ksitigarbha flowers, even those sold by Hu Yunsheng before were higher than this. The price offered by the other party was indeed a bit of a forced sale.
"How presumptuous! Our city lord can buy you things to give you face, don't be shameless!"
A guard behind the middle-aged man shouted loudly.
"One hundred high-grade spiritual stones, plus one high-grade spiritual weapon is already the highest price. You may not be able to get it at auction, and it will be coveted by more people. I think it's better to sell it!"
The second guard road.
One of the two played a sweet role, the other a bad face. They threatened and comforted each other. They seemed to be kind-hearted, but in fact they asked him to sell the medicinal materials obediently.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Zhang Xuan smiled and shook his head, with a calm expression: "Ten thousand high-grade spiritual stones, I will sell them to you!"
"What did you say?" The middle-aged man frowned.
He offered one hundred, and the other party counter-offered ten thousand. He simply didn't want to talk and didn't take his status as the city lord seriously.
"You are so brave..." the first guard shouted again. Before he finished speaking, he heard Zhang Xuan's faint voice from the other side.
"Twenty thousand!"
"What do you mean? To sell or not to sell?" the second guard continued.
"Thirty thousand!" Zhang Xuan said.
"You..." The middle-aged man's face turned pale, and his brows were knitted together, like mountains, as if he was suppressing anger and could explode at any time.
The other party's attitude was that he had no intention of selling at all, and it seemed that he didn't care about his identity.
"Friend, this is Jingyuan City. No matter who you are, I advise you to keep a low profile to avoid any inevitable troubles."
With a cold snort, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes.
"fifty thousand!"
Too lazy to pay attention to the other party's threat, Zhang Xuan waved his hand and continued.
Pretend to be a big-tailed wolf with him, and he doesn't even know where the other person is playing in the mud when he's pretending!
"Hmph, let's go!"
Seeing that the owner of the Ksitigarbha flower refused to eat oil, salt, or hard or soft food, the middle-aged man snorted coldly and turned around and walked out.
As soon as he left the room, his face immediately turned livid.
"City Lord, do you want us to send some people to snatch the things?"
The first guard from before made a murderous gesture and his eyes were cold.
"No need, I am bound to get this thing. Since he is auctioning it, I will follow the normal auction procedures."
The city lord narrowed his eyes: "I don't believe it. I took action. There are still people in the entire Jingyuan City who dare to steal things from me!"
"That's right..." The two guards' eyes lit up.
As long as the city owner reveals his identity in the auction house, who will dare to bid?
By then, I'm afraid I won't even be able to buy it for a hundred high-grade spiritual stones.
"Let's go!"
The city lord strode outside.
…
"Senior, is it too reckless to openly offend the city lord like this..." Hu Yunsheng looked over with a troubled face.
"It doesn't matter. It's okay to be obedient. If he doesn't, I don't mind replacing him as the city lord with someone else!"
Zhang Xuan looked indifferent.
When he reaches his level of strength, he can completely ignore the thoughts of the weak and just be obedient and not cause trouble. If he really wants to cause trouble, he doesn't mind giving him a lesson.
Give the Jade God Qing a warning, change one, the two city lords, no one dares to object at all, or even if it is impossible, they send several famous teachers to review, if they dare to buy and sell by force, they must be the Tu Emperor, who has been doing random things for a long time, after an investigation
An accurate one.
"All right!"
Although his face was full of tangles, Hu Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief when he thought about the strength of this senior and looked over again: "I'm afraid that I will offend the city lord. Then he will bid maliciously, which may cause some trouble."
"Hospital bidding?"
"Well, he will rely on his status and strength to ask others not to participate in competition. In this way, Ksitigarbha will probably... have a hard time attracting the Poison Master!"
After hesitating for a moment, Hu Yunsheng said.
He runs an auction house and knows this situation very well.
There are often powerful people who rely on their status to force other would-be buyers to give up and conduct auctions with malicious intent.
I have encountered this problem many times at the auction house, but there is no good solution.
"It's simple. When the auction starts, you find someone. As long as he dares to increase the price, just double it. It's all my own stuff anyway. It doesn't matter if I add one million high-grade spiritual stones."
Zhang Xuan said.
"this……"
Hu Yunsheng blinked his eyes.
Isn't it too shameless to increase the price for yourself...
But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed a good way to deal with malicious price increases.
It's okay if the other party doesn't know. If he knows, he'll probably be pissed to death. He just doesn't follow the rules.
"Okay, go get ready. As long as you find the location of the Poison Palace, I will detoxify you."
Zhang Xuan said no more.
"yes!"
Hu Yunsheng nodded and retreated.
As soon as he left, Zhang Xuan's body swayed and disappeared, and the next moment he had entered the Thousand Ant Hive.
At this time, the hive has expanded to its limit, with a diameter of more than 500 meters. It is spacious and vast, with various buildings stacked on top of each other, like a huge village.
"Master!" Seeing him coming, many pet beasts came to them at the same time.
In the hive, there are not only Ziyang beasts but also many kings in the clouds. At this time, even if he encounters a strong person, he can easily destroy a small place like Jingyuan City without taking action by throwing these holy beasts out.
.
"Practice well. I will come over and explain to you the cultivation issues when I have free time."
After taking a look at the beasts, Zhang Xuan said.
These holy beasts were his right-hand men. After being placed in the hive, he taught them whenever he had time. In the past two or three months, his strength had improved significantly.
If it weren't for the cultivation techniques of holy beasts, I'm afraid these big guys wouldn't know what level they have reached in such a long time.
Let many holy beasts continue to practice, Zhang Xuan came to a room.
On the clean and tidy bed, Wei Ruyan closed her eyes and lay quietly on it.
This time she came to the Poison Palace specifically to solve her problem, and she has been keeping it in the hive.
He reached out and touched the girl's pulse, looked at it for a while, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems there won't be much problem if you persist for a while longer..."
Although the opponent's poisonous body broke out and he couldn't find a good way to suppress it, he still managed to get him out of danger temporarily with his many methods.
Although he won't be able to wake up in a short time, at least his life is safe.
"This girl is really pitiful..."
Shaked his head.
She was tortured by illness since she was born. She finally grew up and lost her father who loved her most.
No wonder it is called the body of disaster. Not only can it bring disaster to others, but it can also bring disasters to itself. There is no good day.
Seeing that her problem was not serious, Zhang Xuan came to the specially arranged training place and sat down.
It has been more than ten days since he broke through to the peak of Congsheng. Although he did not have the treasures needed to break through to the next level, he still practiced hard every day and never stopped.
Under constant tempering, the true energy becomes more and more pure and thick.
Since reaching Half-Saint, I have obviously felt that breakthrough is more difficult than before. In the past, it only took an hour to break through to a large level, but now it may take a few more minutes, or even longer!
"Cultivation is not as simple as imagined..."
With a sigh, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Cultivation is indeed not that easy, it is destined to be full of hard work.
Three hours passed in a flash.
After some calculation, it was probably evening and the auction was about to start. Zhang Xuan then swayed and walked out of the hive.
Just when I returned to the room, I saw Hu Yunsheng walking over.
"Senior, the auction is about to begin..."
"Um!"
Nodding, Zhang Xuan followed and walked towards the auction house. Before he reached the reserved box, he suddenly frowned and stopped.
