Luxia Town is relatively prosperous because there are two large Wujin mines and Xuantie mines, and Wujin and Xuantie are both medium-level weapon refining resources.
There are two major immortal cultivating families in Luxia Town, one is the Lin family, and the other is the Chen family. Not only are these two major cultivating immortal families backed by large sects of immortal cultivators, they also have one or two golden immortals in their own families.
Ancestor, as for the number of immortal cultivators below the Golden Immortal realm, there are even more.
Due to various reasons, the Wujin Mine and the Xuantie Mine are owned by the Lin family and the Chen family, but each family is responsible for the two mines for a month. For example, this month, the Wujin Mine is managed by the Lin family, and the Chen family is responsible for it.
In the Lixuan Iron Mine, next month the Chen family will take care of the Wujin Mine, and the Lin family will take care of the Xuan Iron Mine.
Gu Zheng's so-called desire to understand the local customs and customs is actually to understand the power of immortal cultivators. These are also some of the best things to know every time you go to a strange place.
After listening to the stories of Lao Huang and the young man, Gu Zheng spoke again: "I just heard the two of you talking about the auction. What is this auction about?"
Gu Zheng also found it interesting. He had just participated in the auction at Qingfengguan some time ago, and he did not expect to encounter the upcoming auction in Luxia Town. However, according to Qi Ling, auctions were a normal thing in the prehistoric times.
, after all, some people want to sell resources, and some people also want to buy resources, so the auction was born.
"The auction in our town of Luxia is held once a year. The Lin family and the Chen family take turns to hold it. At first, the auction was just to sell things produced in the Wujin mine and Xuantie mine. Later, it grew in scale and things were added.
There are more and more, until now there are elixirs, fairy grass, fairy weapons and so on." Lao Huang said.
Black gold ore and black iron ore have different qualities. Good black gold and black iron are more valuable than high-quality ingredients. What's more, there are five or six kinds of associated minerals in black iron ore and black iron ore, and these associated minerals
The value of them is almost all higher than that of Wujin and Xuantie.
"Are there any qualifications required to participate in this auction?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Of course only immortal cultivators can participate in this kind of auction. Mortals like us just enjoy the excitement."
The pot of Yunxia Brewing had been drunk at this time, and the young man, who was a bit talkative, had already regarded Gu Zheng as an ordinary person. After all, in the eyes of mortals like them, immortal cultivators are unattainable existences, even if they need to
There is no need to buy them a drink when asking questions.
"Hehe, let me tell you!"
Lao Huang was also tongue-tied at this time, and he smiled mysteriously at Gu Zheng: "A funny thing happened when the Chen family held an auction the year before last. Many people were vying for a treasure, and that one
The baby was also sold at a very high price, but when the Chen family took the baby to the buyer to collect the money, they found that the buyer had disappeared without knowing it, as if he had evaporated. This matter was shocking.
It really made people laugh for a long time after dinner, and everyone in the town said that the Chen family was tricked by an old man with a deer head and rat eyes."
Normally, something like this would not happen at an auction, but once something like this happened, the organizer would definitely be embarrassed. It was undoubtedly being tricked.
"Hey, I'm telling you..."
Lao Huang wanted to tell Gu Zheng something again, but he was lightly touched by the young man next to him with his arm. When he saw the man behind him, he was so frightened that his face turned green. He saw a fourteen or fifteen year old.
The girl in red was standing behind him, looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Say it! Why don't you continue talking? How brave are you! How dare you chew my Chen family's tongue?"
After the girl finished speaking, she threw out a handkerchief. The handkerchief grew in the wind and wrapped Lao Huang into a silkworm chrysalis, which quickly shrank.
"ah……"
Lao Huang, who was wrapped in the immortal weapon, screamed.
"Miss Seventeen, please spare your life!" Old Huang in the Immortal Weapon said weakly.
"Spare you? If you forgive me, wouldn't it mean that no one dares to talk nonsense? So you'd better go and die!"
A fierce light flashed in the girl's eyes, and she tried to make the fairy weapon tighten again.
However, the immortal weapon did not tighten as expected. On the contrary, it loosened uncontrollably. The girl's cold eyes flashed and she turned to look at Gu Zheng, who was still tasting the egg fried rice.
"You are so brave!"
"I haven't settled the score with you yet, but you still dare to interfere with this old man's affairs?"
The girl was not alone. She was accompanied by two immortal cultivators in the late stage of divine transformation. At this time, the two immortal cultivators who also felt the fluctuations of the immortal power began to scold Gu Zheng.
"Because what he said was told to me, it is naturally none of my business. The punishment has been given. I hope this matter ends here."
Gu Zheng finished the last grain of rice in the bowl, put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at the frowning three people and said: "The egg fried rice in Piaoxianglou is not bad. If you three want to eat, I can treat you."
"I eat you..."
The yellow-haired immortal cultivator among the two immortal cultivators wanted to scold Gu Zheng, but his open mouth was speechless because a chicken drumstick was stuffed in his mouth.
"If you want to eat, just tell me. It's not like I won't give it to you, so why are you so anxious?"
In the widened eyes of others, the yellow-haired immortal cultivator with a chicken leg stuffed in his mouth was pinned down on the table by Gu Zheng like a puppet.
"Eat, eat well!"
Gu Zheng's expression was calm, he held down the drumstick and stuffed it into the mouth of the yellow-haired immortal cultivator.
A piece of chicken leg, which had not been chewed at all, was stuffed into the mouth of the yellow-haired immortal cultivator by Gu Zhengsheng. He choked until the yellow-haired immortal cultivator's eyes widened and his neck was so thick with the chicken leg.
.
"I'm a very talkative person, but the first thing is you don't provoke me!"
Gu Zheng's voice was still calm, and the yellow-haired immortal cultivator he let go also regained his ability to move. He held the table and pulled out the chicken legs from his mouth.
"you……"
The girl in red looked like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. She opened her mouth to say something to Gu Zheng, but was stopped by another white-haired immortal cultivator beside her.
"Senior, isn't it too much for you to do this?"
It can make an immortal cultivator in the realm of gods unable to fight back. The other party's realm is naturally much higher than theirs. If they were not stipends from the Chen family, then such a thing would happen, and the white-haired immortal cultivator would never dare to do it again.
This is how he talks to Gu Zheng. But similarly, since he receives a salary from the Chen family, the backer behind him is naturally the Chen family.
"Excessive? Don't you think you are going too far?"
Gu Zheng smiled coldly, and then said: "Let's forget about this matter. Don't bother them two in the future! If you insist on holding on to this matter, then I will not let go of it.
! Also let me tell you, I live in the Piaomiao Inn, my surname is Bai, if you need anything, just come and see me!"
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he came to the unconscious Lao Huang and stuffed a healing elixir into his mouth.
"Okay, since senior has left his surname, let's meet again later!"
Before leaving, the white-haired immortal cultivator fearfully said something that could save some face. He was really afraid that Gu Zheng would not let them leave because of this. Fortunately, Gu Zheng just smiled indifferently and let them leave.
Already.
"Aren't you two too cowardly?"
It wasn't until they were far away that the girl in red complained, and what she said was clearly heard by Gu Zheng.
"My aunt!"
The white-haired immortal cultivator hurriedly spoke out, and then came the message from his spiritual mind.
Although he didn't hear what the white-haired old man said through his spiritual voice, Gu Zheng could guess that the white-bearded old man was telling the girl in red about his terror.
at the same time.
Old Chen, who was seriously injured and unconscious, woke up: "Shangxian, you have to save us!"
Unlike the young man who had been frightened out of his wits, Lao Chen immediately knelt down to Gu Zheng as soon as he woke up.
"Don't worry, since the matter is related to me, I won't ignore you!"
Gu Zheng gave a gentle push, and Lao Huang, who was about to kneel down, stood up.
With the magical power flowing from his fingertips, Gu Zheng placed restrictions on both Old Chen and the young man. If someone from the Chen family caused trouble for the two of them, Gu Zheng would know immediately. Moreover, Gu Zheng also felt that the Chen family was the overlord of the party.
, this matter shouldn’t just be let go! In that case, let’s wait until their people come to the door and solve the trouble together.
Finally, Gu Zheng gave the young man and Lao Huang some money and asked them to go back and live peacefully. If anything happened, they could go to Piao Miao Inn to find him in a short time.
After Lao Chen and the young man left, Gu Zheng did not stay at Piaoxianglou longer. When he left, all the diners watched him off. Although the eyes of these diners were different when facing Gu Zheng's gaze.
They would all avoid it, but Gu Zheng also understood that most of them thought that if they provoked the Chen family, it would only be a matter of time before they were unlucky.
After leaving Piaoxiang Tower, Gu Zheng returned to Piaomiao Inn and started practicing behind closed doors.
at the same time.
In the hall of the Chen Mansion, a fair-faced middle-aged man had also finished listening to what the girl in red had to say.
"Is that all what Ling'er said?"
The middle-aged man looked at the two immortal cultivators following the girl in red, Linger.
"Third uncle, don't you still trust me?"
Chen Ling looked at the middle-aged man Chen Shucheng aggrievedly.
"You are the little bully of Luxia Town. Someone dares to bully you. This is a new thing. Of course, Third Uncle must understand it in detail!"
Chen Shucheng pinched Chen Ling's nose lovingly.
The Chen family is a family of immortal cultivators. Chen Shucheng’s cultivation is in the middle stage of transformation into gods. According to the rules of the Chen family, after his cultivation reaches the realm of returning to the void, he will resign from his position in the world and concentrate on cultivating on the mountaintop of the Chen family. Therefore, currently,
The head of the Chen family is Chen Shucheng. As for those cultivators with higher levels of cultivation, they have already resigned from their secular positions. If there is no big deal, they will not leave the mountain easily.
Chen Shucheng has three brothers. Chen Ling is his eldest brother's youngest daughter. She is the seventeenth among the three brothers' daughters and she usually receives the most pampering.
There are two reasons why Chen Ling is favored. One is that she has good talent. She is only fifteen years old this year and is already in the early stage of Qi transformation. The other more important point is that when Chen Ling was less than one year old,
Chen Shucheng's eldest brother went out to do things for the ancestor of the Chen family, but something unexpected happened. The ancestor of the Chen family also doted on Chen Ling very much.
In a family, when the pillar of the family favors one person the most, it would be strange if she is not favored! She has a good talent and is favored by thousands of people. Chen Ling can be arrogant and domineering, and she is also a famous little girl in Luxia Town.
Overlord.
"Master, everything Miss Ling'er says is true," the white-haired immortal cultivator replied.
"To be able to restrain Tian Chun so easily, the cultivation level of this man named Bai should be at least in the middle to late stage of Returning to the Void. It's a pity that you didn't have the guts to attack him and failed to see his true cultivation level!"
Chen Shucheng's mocking eyes swept across the faces of the white-haired old man and Tian Chun. Their expressions changed, but neither of them dared to say anything.
"Ling'er, what happened? Why did I hear that you were bullied?"
A rough voice sounded, and a middle-aged man with a rough appearance entered the hall in a hurry.
"Second uncle!"
Chen Ling's eyes turned red and she immediately told her second uncle Chen Tiecheng what happened.
"Asshole, I really scared him. He actually bullied our Chen family!"
Chen Tiecheng flew into a rage and punched the chair's auxiliary arm into pieces.
"Second brother!"
Chen Wencheng shouted angrily.
"Okay, stop lecturing me, just tell me what to do about this matter!"
Before Chen Wencheng could speak again, Chen Tiecheng was already urging him impatiently.
"Why!"
Chen Wencheng sighed, as his second brother, who was reckless by nature, had a headache.
"Ling'er has been bullied. Naturally, we can't just let this matter go. Let a few people go over first to find out what the person named Bai is really like." Chen Wencheng said.
"I'll go too!" Chen Tiecheng said.
"Second brother!"
Chen Wencheng shouted complainingly.
"You are one of the powerful people of the Chen family, and you represent the Chen family. What happened to you in the past? If this person named Bai is very tough, how will this matter end?" Chen Wencheng said.
"Okay, if you don't go, you won't go. What are you talking about?"
Chen Tiecheng glared at Chen Wencheng and left the hall with a puff of sleeves.
"Go and notify Shen Zhiping and Shang Qingqiu and ask them to come over," Chen Wencheng said.
"yes!"
The white-haired old man and Tian Chun took the order and left.
After a while, two old men with bright eyes walked out of Chen's house. They were Shen Zhiping and Shang Qingqiu.
"The second in charge?"
When Shen Zhiping and Shang Qingqiu were approaching the Piaomiao Inn, Chen Tiecheng, who had been waiting for them, walked out from the corner of the street.
"Hmph, my third brother won't let me go, do you think there's nothing I can do? Don't tell me my identity later, I want to see what the bastard who bullied Ling'er is capable of!" Chen Tiecheng shouted angrily.
"Second boss, isn't this bad?" Shen Zhiping smiled bitterly.
"Second Master, if you really want to go with us, no matter what happens, you have to take care of us!"
Shang Qingqiu knew Chen Tiecheng, and if he was not allowed to go with him, he would definitely offend him, and life in the Chen family would definitely be difficult. Instead of rejecting him, it would be better to say it openly.
"Don't worry, I, Chen Er, will take care of anything for you!" Chen Tiecheng slapped his chest so hard.
The three of them set off on the road, but Shen Zhiping and Shang Qingqiu, who were walking behind, looked at Chen Tiecheng's back with a trace of ridicule on their lips. In their opinion, Chen Tiecheng was fortunate to be born in the Chen family, otherwise it would be extremely difficult for him with his qualifications.
If you become an immortal cultivator, you will be beaten to death because of your reckless personality.
"What are you doing?"
In the Piaomiao Inn, the shopkeeper stopped Chen Tiecheng and the others.
"Find someone!"
Chen Tiecheng said coldly, the Chen family and the Lin family were not dealing with each other.
"You can find someone, but you should also know the rules of the Piaomiao Inn. Don't make trouble here!"
The shopkeeper's cultivation level was not high, but he still looked at Chen Tiecheng and the others with cold eyes. After all, he was also a member of the Lin family, so there was no need to be afraid of the Chen family.
"You don't need to say more!"
Chen Tiecheng sneered and took people upstairs.
"Are you here to find me?"
Gu Zheng appeared at the top of the stairs at this time.
"Are you the one named Bai?"
Chen Tiecheng squinted his eyes and looked up and down a lot.
"That's right, it's me. Who are you from the Chen family?" Gu Zheng said calmly.
"I'm just a guest of the Chen family..."
"Haha, hahahaha..."
Before Chen Tiecheng finished speaking, the innkeeper let out a melodious laugh. But when Chen Tiecheng glared, he didn't look at Chen Tiecheng at all. He just swept the counter with a feather duster and murmured: "I thought I was fooled."
Is a layer of dust enough? I’ll sweep, I’ll sweep!”
"What do you want to do with me?"
Gu Zheng smiled, and with his arms folded, he had already guessed the general identity of the person in front of him from the shopkeeper's murmur.
"Of course I have something to talk to you about. Do you dare to go out with us?" Chen Tiecheng sneered.
"Dare, why don't you dare?"
Gu Zheng walked down the stairs with a smile and walked out of the inn first.
Not flying in the city is a sign of respect for a place. The four Gu Zheng, who were speechless all the way, flew in the sky after walking out of the city in Luxia Town.
Luxia Town is very mountainous, so Gu Zheng didn't fly long before he found a hilltop and stopped, waiting for the three people behind him.
Gu Zheng already knew the cultivation of the three of them. At this time, he was still crossing his arms, praying for them in his heart that they would not be unhappy.
Chen Tiecheng's cultivation level is only in the early stage of Qi transformation. According to common sense, such a cultivation level cannot fly in the air. Even if he can fly in the air, the flying time is very short. However, the Chen family is rich and powerful, and Chen Tiecheng's cultivation level is equipped with a high-end weapon.
The flying sword is a fairy weapon, but the flying sword has a spirit. Although he can recognize the flying sword as its master with his cultivation, he can't control it well, so that when flying in the air, the trajectory looks a bit ridiculous, just like a flying sword.
It is like a person riding a horse that is not very obedient.
The flight was a little unstable, which made Chen Tiechen feel very embarrassed. At this time, seeing the sarcasm on Gu Zheng's lips, he became even more angry.
"Damn, I made you laugh!"
Chen Tiecheng cursed secretly in his heart, and at the same time activated the magical power of the fairy sword against Gu Zheng.
I saw sword-shaped shadows falling from the sky one after another, and the large number could be called a rain of swords.
While he was still talking, Chen Tiecheng, a reckless man, had already launched an attack. Even Shang Qingqiu, who thought he understood him, was surprised.
However, Chen Tiechengdu had already taken action, and Shang Qingqiu couldn't make sense if he didn't take action, so he waved his sleeves and mobilized the energy of heaven and earth to limit Gu Zheng's actions.
Almost immediately following Shang Qingqiu's flick of his sleeves, Shen Zhiping also took action. The tiger talisman he offered up with his hand turned into a five-foot-long golden tiger and pounced towards the ancient fighting tiger on the ground.
