Since it is a market, there are naturally a lot of restaurants here. Some of the restaurants are backed by big forces. Wu Haoyu took Lu Chen and others to the restaurant of the Tianxia Business Alliance.
But just when Lu Chen came out of the street of Wanshou Pavilion, he suddenly felt someone watching him from behind.
He turned around and looked back. People were coming and going on the street. Everything seemed normal. No one was staring at him specifically.
But Lu Chen didn't dare to let down his guard. He knew that the forces in Beihai were complicated. If he exposed a lot of wealth today in order to sell the thunder stone, someone would definitely pay attention to him.
The most important thing is that Wang Bufeng and Liu Ying are definitely still in a corner, ready to deal with him at any time.
These two powerful rivals cannot be ignored.
He glanced around, and his eyes fell on a restaurant on the side of the street. Through a window, he saw three people near the window.
There were two women, one wearing a veil, the other wearing a green maid uniform, and the third was a thin old man with an ordinary appearance.
The three of them were drinking tea with their heads down at the moment, seemingly unaware of Lu Chen's gaze.
"Brother Lu, what are you doing?
Is there anything interesting to see?"
Wu Haoyu said.
"This restaurant is nice, and it's very elegant."
Lu Chen didn't explain, just smiled lightly.
"What kind of grandeur is this flavor restaurant? Just look at the restaurants in our World Merchant Alliance and you will know. I won't go home until I'm drunk today."
Wu Haoyu laughed and said.
Lu Chen, Wu Haoyu and more than a dozen people left slowly.
In the flavor restaurant, three people by the window were eating as if nothing had happened.
"Miss, Elder Duan, it seems that Lu Chen discovered us just now."
A girl in a red shirt who looked like a maid said.
The veiled woman said: "Yes, he is very vigilant.
What does Elder Duan think?"
The thin old man said calmly: "The person with a strange destiny recognized by the high priest is an unusual person. It would be strange if he didn't discover us."
"The high priest said before he died that this man could save the young lady. Is this true?"
the maid asked.
The thin old man said: "The high priest just said it was possible, and we are not sure whether he is this person. Although the high priest's calculation ability is no less than that of the old fortune teller at Xuanji Gate, he has never met Lu Chen before, so we can only base it on
There are various clues to make some speculations.”
"This speculation must be correct. With the strength of the seventh level of Xiantian Realm, it is very rare in history to become the first person on the Hidden Dragon List."
The maid said with a smile.
The thin old man nodded and said: "I just speculated that it was possible before. I just saw this person, and I estimate that there is at least 90% chance that he is the person identified by the high priest."
"How do we get to this guy?"
The woman wearing a veil asked, "Is there any other way to induce him to make a profit and ask him to be the inner elder of our sect?"
The thin old man smiled and said: "The saint's words are too naive. According to the news I heard, Lu Chen rejected the invitation of Liang Wenchuan, the alchemy master of the World Business Alliance, last night. At that time, Liang Wenchuan offered seven million crystals per month.
Shi hired him for a high price, but he refused.
Even if we can offer a higher price, our sect's brand name is not as loud as the Tianxia Merchant Alliance, and its strength is not as good as that of the Tianxia Merchant Alliance, so he will definitely not agree."
If Wu Haoyu and other members of the World Business Alliance hear this, they will definitely be shocked. Although the meeting between Lu Chen and Liang Wenchuan is not a secret, the situation in the Wanshou Pavilion is generally forbidden to the disciples. I didn't expect that this thin man would be allowed to speak in just one day.
The old man found out the news, which was simply incredible.
"The price of seven million crystal stones was rejected. This Lu Chen is very ambitious."
The maid said.
When the huge number of seven million crystals was mentioned, the expressions of the three people did not change. Obviously crystals were not a problem to them at all, or in other words, in the eyes of these three people, crystals were not what they needed at all.
.
"Elder Duan, how do we get close to him?"
The maid asked again.
The thin old man said: "It's hard to say, it depends on the situation. He has too many enemies now, so it's normal for him to be highly vigilant. If we approach rashly, we may be regarded as enemies."
...The sun had just risen the next day. Lu Chen followed Wu Haoyu to an open-air square. Many people had gathered in the square. It could be seen from their clothes and the magic weapons they carried that these people were generally wealthy people.
.
There are many rattan seats around the square, and the tables are made of special ritual materials, which are full of brilliance. Although the furnishings of the entire square are simple, they are quite luxurious.
"This is the auction house of our World Business Alliance. Everyone who can enter here has a VIP card, and most of them are people with status."
Wu Haoyu introduced.
Half an hour later, there were more and more people, making the square seem a little crowded.
"The auction will begin soon."
Lu Chen, Wu Haoyu, Su Xuan and others were sitting in the front row of seats. Originally, according to the rules, each person with a VIP card could only bring one attendant at most, but with Wu Haoyu's relationship, there were enough people who came with Lu Chen
None of the four people, including the butcher and hunter from the Hurricanes, had ever entered this kind of auction house. They gained a lot of knowledge this time.
The auction was crowded with people. Lu Chen scanned the venue and found a few "acquaintances". In a corner of the venue, a masked woman and three other people were sitting. These people glanced towards Lu Chen intentionally or unintentionally, and he didn't know.
What's the intention?
There is another familiar person who turns out to be Jiang Tie from the Nebula Sect.
This guy was sitting in a front row seat. He glanced at Lu Chen, Su Xuan and others with a sneer on his face.
"Brother Chen, this Jiang Tie is really hateful. He has actually become a distinguished guest of Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion."
When Su Xuan thought about being seriously injured by Jiang Tie for no reason, he still couldn't let go.
Lu Chen said calmly: "It won't take long for this account to be settled."
At this time, on the platform in the middle of the square, an auctioneer announced that the auction had officially begun.
Then two men in Tsing Yi walked out from the curtain at the back, each carrying a plate containing several green plants.
"Millennium Agrimony, the starting price is one hundred thousand crystal stones, and each increase in price shall not be less than three thousand crystal stones."
The auctioneer explained the medicinal properties of Millennium Agrimony.
"It's just a herb. The starting price is 100,000 crystal stones. It's too expensive."
Su Xuan said.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Of course, ordinary herbs can be sold for less than 100,000 crystals, but this herb can be used to refine precious elixirs, and 100,000 crystals are not expensive."
Most people were not very interested in herbal medicine. If they wanted to buy it, they would just buy the elixir, so no one bid for it for a while.
"One hundred and ten thousand crystal stones."
Lu Chen shouted directly.
Just as Lu Chen finished speaking, a female voice suddenly came: "Twenty thousand crystal stones."
Lu Chen didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, someone would raise the price, as if they were specifically targeting him. He followed the call and found that the person who raised the price was actually Zhou Wei, the captain of the Breaking Team.
"It's that crazy woman again."
Su Xuan said.
The butcher also said: "It seems that this woman is in love with us."
"One hundred and fifty thousand crystal stones."
Lu Chen continued to bid.
"One hundred and sixty thousand."
Zhou Wei shouted directly without thinking.
Lu Chen shook his head slightly and did not bid any more. More than 150,000 crystals was not a good deal. Although he was not short of crystals now, there was no need to compete with the opponent for such idleness.
As a result, this thousand-year-old agrimony was photographed by Zhou Wei with 160,000 crystal stones.
"Brother Lu, don't worry about it. Today's auction has a lot of items. There are so many things you can buy. Maybe you need a lot of them."
Wu Haoyu comforted him.
Of course Lu Chen didn't care. To him, Millennium Agrimony was just a dispensable thing. It was good to buy it, but it didn't matter if he couldn't.
"The second item is the thousand-year-old clam bead."
The auctioneer introduced, "This is a clam bead obtained from a thousand-year-old clam demon. Grind it into powder. It can remove hundreds of poisons. It can especially enhance mental power and perception. It is of great benefit to masters of the Cave Mystic Realm.
.”
As soon as everyone heard about the Thousand-Year Clam Pearl, the whole place was in an uproar.
Clam beads are not uncommon, and can even be said to be very common, but the Millennium Clam Monster is an extremely rare monster. You can imagine the value of this clam bead.
In particular, its function can be used to enhance spiritual power. For warriors, this is an extremely rare thing. There are many things in the world that can increase spiritual power, but there are very few items that can enhance spiritual power.
However, the starting price of this thousand-year-old clam bead is also astonishing, reaching three million crystal stones.
“Why did you sell something so expensive in the first place?”
Su Xuan asked.
Wu Haoyu smiled and said: "This is our practice at Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion. There will be one or two good things at the beginning of the auction as the highlight, and towards the end there will be several good things as the finale. This thousand-year-old clam bead is the highlight.
"
"Brother Lu, are you going to bid on this thousand-year-old clam pearl?"
Wu Haoyu asked Lu Chen.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Thousand-year-old clam beads are indeed very useful to me, but it also depends on the price. If the price soars too high, it is not cost-effective."
While the three of them were talking, the bidding for the Thousand-Year Clam Pearl had become very heated.
"Three million and two million!"
"Three and a half million!"
"Four, two million!"
...Three minutes later, the thousand-year clam pearl was priced at six million.
"Six million, someone offered six million, is there a higher price?"
said the auctioneer.
Lu Chen raised the sign in his hand: "Six million and a half million."
The auctioneer looked overjoyed. After the mussels had been sold to this price, not many people were willing to follow the price. After all, six million was already an astonishing figure.
"Six million and a half million, is there any higher?"
"Six million and seven hundred thousand!"
The one calling out the price was actually Zhou Wei.
"Hey, is this crazy woman so rich?"
the butcher exclaimed.
At this moment, a loud roar suddenly spread throughout the auction house: "Eight and a half million!"
Everyone was shocked by the voice and the price. They all looked towards the person who was calling. Unexpectedly, the person bidding was an extremely stout-looking young man.
"Who is this person?
Never seen it before."
"The rich master doesn't know which sect he is a disciple of."
No one recognized this person, but Lu Chen and Su Xuan did. Su Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Chen, it's Jiang Tie again."
Lu Chen nodded.
Wu Haoyu and the butcher asked in unison: "Why, does this kid have a grudge against you?"
Su Xuan explained the matter briefly.
The butcher said: "So, this kid is really arrogant. When the auction is over, we will beat him half to death to save my brother's breath."
At this time, Lu Chen suddenly raised a sign and said: "Nine million!"
Everyone focused on the bidding again, and many people noticed Lu Chen.
