Long Chen was stunned, he didn't know this person at all.
"Great, I am sending you an invitation on the order of the Pavilion Master," the middle-aged man with a clear face said happily.
"Your Majesty, it's like this. You may not know this villain, but he is a deacon of Huayun Pavilion. He specially came to invite you to our annual auction."
Only then did Long Chen suddenly realize that the relationship was to solicit business, and what a deacon was, he was just an errand solicitor.
Long Chen knew very well about Huayun Pavilion. The most famous auction house in the Fengming Empire was a behemoth.
Although they are not comparable to the Alchemist Guild, they are definitely very powerful, and they are the closest partners of the Adventurer Guild.
The Adventurer's Guild is an alliance composed of countless adventurers. Although it is a scattered alliance, it has a large number of people.
These adventurers travel the wilderness all year round. Although it is a high-risk occupation, the rewards are also extremely rich.
It is possible to discover various strange herbs, magical beast crystal nuclei, and even if you are lucky enough to discover ancient inheritance.
Adventurers are very happy to cooperate with Huayun Pavilion. As the closest partner, Huayun Pavilion will purchase their items at very fair prices and give them the greatest guarantee.
Adventurers don't need to take risks on their own and trade with others. After all, there are too many things like killing people and stealing goods. Sometimes the city is even more terrifying than the wilderness.
Therefore, Huayun Pavilion's annual auction will attract countless buyers. Because they have collected rare treasures for a year, they will select the most precious batch as auction items.
Almost every auction would fetch a sky-high price that made them laugh from ear to ear, so the scale of their auction house became larger and larger.
Until the past two years, the level of auctions has become higher and higher, and a membership system has been implemented. If you don't have an invitation letter, you can't even think about entering.
The people who can receive the invitation letter are all extremely noble people, and a young man like Long Chen is the first one.
"Brother Long, this is a good thing, but it seems that if you don't have enough money, it will be in vain," said the monkey.
The items auctioned by Huayun Pavilion are all the best among the best. There is almost no one that is not enviable.
Coupled with the auctioneer's superb teasing and auction skills, the price is as high as blood. If you don't have money, you can only stare.
"Is there an auction list?" Long Chen asked.
"This list only contains the bottom ten, you can take a look," the middle-aged man with a clear face said apologetically.
After all, in order to maintain a sense of mystery in the annual auction, no good items will be revealed in advance.
Long Chen took it and took a look. When he saw the "Molten Star Grass", his eyes couldn't help shrinking: it turned out to be a thousand-year-old Molten Star Grass.
Ordinary molten star grass is basically more than ten years old and less than a hundred years old. There are very few that are more than a hundred years old. However, those that are more than a thousand years old can be called treasures.
Such a thing was actually ranked at the bottom, which made Long Chen's heart flutter.
Seeing Long Chen's shock, a look of pride appeared on the face of the middle-aged man with a pale face: "Sir Long Chen, you are the alchemy master. If you have any rare elixirs, you can give them to us.
If the quality and rarity meet the requirements, we can consider adding it to the auction, but we will charge a 50% commission."
Fifty percent? Long Chen couldn't help but feel happy. Yes, it's very dark, very dark. Half of it belongs to you. Do you dare to go a little darker?
As if he had read through Long Chen's thoughts, the middle-aged man with a pale face said with a smile: "As long as your items are good enough, after our packaging, promotion, and the exaggeration of our chief auctioneer, the price will soar, hehe...
…absolutely beyond your imagination”
Hearing what the man said, Long Chen felt a lot better. At the same time, he had to admire the business people. His words were really impressive.
What Long Chen didn't know was that these deacons were also very difficult. They were allocated three quotas before the auction every year.
They need to make full use of these three quotas. If they can enjoy spicy food, they can count on these three quotas.
Whether the people they invite purchase items or auction items, they will receive a certain commission.
If the invited person buys or sells more, the commission they will get will be greater, so they are very cautious in selecting people.
But after so many years, the ones who should have been picked have long been taken away, and now they are picking up the slack.
The middle-aged man with a clear face was very shrewd. As soon as he got the quota, he hurried over and invited Long Chen, for fear of being snatched away by others.
There is no way, now Long Chen is the most popular figure among the younger generation in the imperial capital, and he is definitely a big fish with potential.
"This is the boy's nameplate. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty." After saying this, he handed Long Chen a small card.
"Wealthy?"
Long Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, I was born poor, and my parents wanted me to be rich, so they gave me this name to make the prince laugh." The middle-aged man with a pale face said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
When he said this, Long Chen became embarrassed and nodded: "I am very interested in the auction. Besides, I do have something that I want to auction with you. I don't know what the process is?"
Fugui's eyes lit up and he said: "If you have treasures, you can come directly to Huayun Pavilion, or we can come to pick them up."
Long Chen nodded. It was still nearly a month before the auction started. There was still a lot of time. After agreeing on a time with Fugui, Long Chen and everyone left the restaurant.
"Long Chen, the Fengming Lantern Festival will be held in seven days, you must come," Shi Feng said with anticipation.
The Fengming Lantern Festival is the largest festival in the Fengming Empire. Unmarried men and women from the entire imperial capital will participate. It is very lively and is the most longed-for festival for all young men and women.
Especially those unmarried men, they are like bulls in heat, waiting hard, hoping to attract the attention of beautiful women at the lantern festival.
And those women also wanted to try to find a husband at the lantern festival, and martial arts prevailed in the Fengming Empire.
However, the protection between men and women is quite strict, but only on this day of the Fengming Lantern Festival, there are no taboos. You can go out freely and hold arms with men to have a carnival.
Therefore, many men and women are preparing early, hoping to stand out on the day of the Lantern Festival.
The most exciting thing is the final battle for the title of No. 1 Warrior. There is an arena at the lantern festival. Anyone who has cultivated skills and is under the age of twenty can compete on the stage.
The title of the First Warrior is the highlight. As long as you get that title, it will be difficult to keep a low profile. The garlands sent by countless beauties can bury a person alive. Just thinking about it makes people excited.
Seeing that even Shi Feng, who had always been calm, was so enthusiastic, and then looking at Fatty Yu and the others, sure enough, these guys, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, their eyes were blue.
"Brother Long, you must go. If you don't go, we won't want to go either," Fatty Yu begged.
"Then everyone, please stop going and find a place to have a drink," Long Chen said with a smile.
"No, Grandpa Long, we have been looking forward to it for a year." Fatty Yu and others immediately cried and rolled on the ground, hugging Long Chen's thigh and refusing to let go.
"Long Chen, it would be too boring if you don't go. Now in the entire imperial capital, among the younger generation, you have the loudest cheers. You are regarded as the number one person. If you don't go, countless people will be disappointed.
"Shi Feng advised.
"Huh? When did I have such a great reputation?" Long Chen was stunned.
"You don't know yet? Even children now know: Dan and martial arts shake the universe, Juying towers with angry gods, phoenixes spread their wings and soar into the clouds, and look at Long Chen with a smile on his face." Shi Feng looked at Long Chen as if he were looking at a monster.
dust.
"..."
What happened? Why didn’t I know? It was actually turned into a limerick. Long Chen couldn’t help but feel stupid.
"Okay, Long Chen, all the brothers hope to follow you to become famous, so you have to go no matter what."
Shi Feng is different from others. From beginning to end, he and Long Chen are brothers, so he doesn't need to worry so much about what he says.
"Okay, I'll go," Long Chen said with a bitter smile. He originally wanted to practice for a few more days, but was put on hold again.
Fatty Yu and others couldn't help but cheer when they heard it, as if they saw the eyes of countless beauties walking towards them.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Long Chen hurried home, not even bothering to eat dinner. Too much time was wasted, and he must seize the time to improve his cultivation.
Now that the Fengfu Star has been successfully condensed, it is equivalent to having the first Dantian. What he needs is to seize the time to condense the cyclone.
There are only three cyclones in Dantian now. He needs to continue to condense the cyclones. However, the Nine-Star Hegemonic Body Technique only has records of condensing nine stars, and there is no record of how to practice it.
The last time the Fengfu Star was successfully condensed, three cyclones were condensed at once, and even Long Chen himself was confused.
This time Long Chen circulated his dantian and found that the three cyclones were rotating, only sending energy to him continuously. That was a fighting state, not a cultivation state.
Injecting the spiritual power stored in Fengfu Star into the cyclone, the cyclone instantly expanded ten times, and Long Chen's aura became violent, but it was still in a fighting state, not a cultivation state.
Long Chen took a deep breath, hesitated, and slowly turned the cyclone to absorb the spiritual energy of the outside world.
However, Long Chen did not send the absorbed spiritual energy into his body this time. Instead, he condensed them and input them into Fengfu Star.
As Long Chen absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and injected it into Fengfu Star, Fengfu Star began to operate rapidly.
"There is a door"
Long Chen was overjoyed. Although he didn't know what would happen, this was definitely not a fighting situation.
He kept trying hard to absorb it, and with the continuous injection of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, Fengfu Star became brighter and brighter, until it finally looked like a scorching sun.
"boom"
Suddenly, the Fengfu Star shook, and the Fengfu Star, which was originally as bright as the sun, suddenly dimmed. At the same time, a cyclone appeared in Long Chen's dantian.
"Haha, I finally figured out the path of spiritual practice."
Long Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed. With the birth of the fourth cyclone, he found that the meridians in his body had expanded a bit, and his strength began to surge.
"Okay, keep working hard"
Long Chen slowly closed his eyes and began to continue attacking the fifth level of Qi Gathering.
