The girl was so beautiful, with snow-white and crystal-clear skin, as bright as a fiery red rope, and a tall and graceful figure, which made her look like an earthly and elegant fairy.
Against her background, all the girls next to her looked dim.
Many eyes nearby were glancing at this young girl, showing traces of passionate covetous expression.
"Miss Su?"
Chen Xi recognized at a glance that the girl was Su Qingyan, who was born in the Han Dynasty. She had crossed paths with him several times during the ancient battlefield.
"I didn't expect to meet you here." Su Qingyan moved her lotus steps lightly, like an elf falling into the world, and came gracefully. She looked at Chen Xi with a smile, a pair of eyes filled with a strange luster.
Hong San on the side trembled and looked at this scene in disbelief. This senior actually knew her?
Having lived in Lihuo City for generations, how could he not know Su Qingyan? This name and her stunning face are almost unknown to everyone in Lihuo City!
This also made Hong San feel more and more that the senior beside him was becoming more and more mysterious.
"Why are you here?" Chen Xi was surprised. He was also quite happy to see an old friend.
"You forgot, the sect I joined is here." Su Qingyan pursed her lips and smiled. She had clear eyes and good vision, her hair was like a waterfall, and her pair of slender feet were white and flawless. She had an astonishing beauty of her own.
"Jiutian Cave Huan Palace!"
Chen Xi suddenly realized that Su Qingyan had worshiped in this sect during the ancient battlefield. Although it had only been less than a year, it felt like a lifetime ago.
While the two were talking, the group of girls who were with Su Qingyan also gathered around. While looking at Chen Xi and the group of young men wearing animal skins behind him, a strange look appeared on their faces.
A few girls even frowned, and there was a hint of disgust in their eyes, which was fleeting, as if they disliked Mengwei and the others for their vulgar status and shabby and dirty clothes.
"Chen Xi, I forgot to introduce you. These are my sisters. This time we were ordered by our master to come to Lihuo City to assist several elders in recruiting disciples. Unexpectedly, we met you.
What a coincidence."
Su Qingyan did not notice this scene, and enthusiastically introduced her companions to Chen Xi? Chen Xi.
However, before she could introduce Chen Xi, one of the girls had already said first: "Senior sister, we are pressed for time, so we should go and meet the elders first."
"Yes, I just received the news that Uncle He seems to have lost his temper. We'd better go and take orders quickly." Several other girls also said one after another.
Su Qingyan was startled and confused. She had not heard the news.
She glanced at these girls and saw that they seemed to be ignoring Chen Xi. Their glances at Chen Xi's companions revealed a hint of disdain and disgust without concealment, and she suddenly understood in her heart.
However, she understands that she is quite annoyed in her heart. Chen Xi is her friend. It would be too much for her fellow seniors and sisters to just ignore him and pretend to be indifferent and aloof!
Originally, she wanted to introduce Chen Xi to them, but now that she saw this scene, she was too lazy to make her own decision. She turned to look at Chen Xi and chuckled: "How about we go into the city together?"
Chen Xi glanced at the girls intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Forget it, go ahead and get busy. It won't be too late for us to reminisce about old times when we have time."
"Well, that's fine. Remember to stay in Lihuo City for a while. I'll come to you soon after finishing my work." Su Qingyan smiled brightly and left with the senior sisters.
Chen Xi watched them leave, and then said to Meng Wei and the others: "Let's go, let's go into the city too."
"Brother Chen Xi, could it be that we interrupted your conversation just now?" Meng Wei suddenly spoke. He had been observing the expressions of Su Qingyan and her companions just now, and he knew everything well.
However, he didn't look at those malicious eyes in his heart. He was just a little apologetic and felt a little sorry for Chen Xi.
Chen Xi's expression was startled, and then his expression became serious and solemn, and he said: "Brother Mengwei, if you treat me as your brother, never say these words again in the future."
Meng Wei nodded and smiled boldly, "Sure!"
…
Lihuo City is prosperous and prosperous, with spacious and straight streets extending in all directions. Rows of shops are located on both sides of the streets. People come and go, and the traffic is busy, making it extremely lively.
When Chen Xi and the others entered the city, due to the way Meng Wei and the others dressed up, they inevitably attracted many people to point their fingers at them along the way. Although they did not say anything, Chen Xi felt a little sorry in his heart.
He gave instructions to Hong San, who was slightly startled, and immediately understood, leading Chen Xi and his party to a gorgeous attic that was thousands of feet high.
The entire pavilion is made of purple glazed jade, which is crystal clear and diffuses misty purple light. Crystal palace lanterns are hung under the eaves around the pavilion, releasing various rainbow lights that are reflected on the wall and match the purple light.
Glaze and jade reflect each other, and the rolling glow is dreamy and blurry.
Looking at this luxurious and dazzling building in front of them, the young men opened their mouths wide and their faces were full of shock.
Although they had seen countless strange things along the way after entering the city, they were all just fleeting glances, and they were far from as real and shocking as they are now.
Chen Xi was also slightly surprised. With his current gaze, he could see that the walls made of purple glazed jade were covered with dense runes, and the crystal palace lantern also contained the number one hundred and eight.
, the entire building is protected by a large formation.
This formation is not that powerful. The key is that setting up this formation requires a huge amount of property. The purple glazed jade alone is extremely expensive.
This also shows how wealthy the owner of this building is.
A complicated look flashed in Hong San's eyes, but he soon returned to normal: "This is Jubao Pavilion, the largest treasure store in Lihuo City. It has all kinds of treasures and is very popular among cultivators."
Chen Xi nodded and led Meng Wei and the others into the store.
After entering, I discovered that the space inside this building was larger and more luxurious than what I saw outside! The ground and walls were all made of gilt obsidian, which was polished as smooth as a mirror.
Under the illumination of a crystal palace lantern, it looks thick, majestic, and resplendent.
An envoy came forward with a warm and polite attitude. However, when he saw the group of young men wearing crude animal skins behind Chen Xi, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch violently, and most of his enthusiasm faded.
"Welcome to Jubao Pavilion, please browse freely. You can look at each rare treasure carefully, but remember, you are not allowed to touch it. If it is dirty or damaged, you will have to pay a high price."
The messenger said weakly, his attitude already very cold.
"Xiao Fei, please step aside. We don't need you to introduce us." Hong San suddenly spoke.
The envoy named Xiao Fei couldn't help but be slightly startled when he saw Hong San. Immediately, there was a touch of disdain on his lips, "Hey, who was I at that time? It turned out that you were the one who defeated me." He shook his head and turned to leave.
Hong San clenched his fists unconsciously, clenched his teeth, and there was a flash of pain in his eyes.
Chen Xi asked: "Do you have a grudge against him?"
Hong San shook his head, his expression returned to normal, and said: "Senior, the things you want to buy are in the East District, I will take you there." After saying that, he led the way to one side.
Chen Xi noticed something strange about Hong San, but he could tell that Hong San seemed unwilling to say more, and it was hard for him to ask any more questions.
Any high-grade rare treasure will release various spiritual lights, which is the treasure light. Looking at it, the whole store is filled with the treasure light, which makes people dazzled.
There are a dazzling array of magic weapons, precious materials, and rare elixirs... Even a person like Chen Xi who is used to seeing good things can't help but look a little surprised.
This Jubao Pavilion is indeed worthy of its reputation. None of the magic weapons and materials displayed are ordinary items.
Soon, the group of them arrived at a counter in the East District.
Behind the counter, there were neatly folded pieces of clothing, shoes and hats, jade pendants, and hanging ornaments, everything you need, and they were all extraordinary things.
For example, one of the clothes labeled "Liuying Yunshang" is woven from Liuying clouds from nine days away. It is covered with multiple formations. It looks exquisite and elegant, and it also has the functions of dustproof, waterproof, and meditation.
Wait for wonderful effects.
Another example is the "jade heart" belt, which not only has various wonderful functions, but is also a magic weapon with an amazing capacity for storage.
Chen Xi waved his hand and let the teenagers choose at will, and take whatever they like.
These young men from the Jiuyou tribe had never seen these treasures before. They were all dazzled by them and were in a dilemma, not knowing which ones to choose.
Seeing this, Chen Xi secretly cursed himself for being stupid all his life. At this time, it should be time for him to help them make suggestions.
At that moment, he glanced behind the counter, decided to pay attention, and ordered the messenger behind the counter: "Qinggang Feather Clothes, Purifying Fire Belt, Flowing Cloud Shoes, Spirit Dust Wristbands..."
In a series, more than ten kinds of items were reported.
The waiter's attitude was quite cold at first, because he had already seen that, except for Chen Xi, Meng Wei and the others were like a group of country bumpkins who had just entered the city. They had never seen anything in the world. How could such guests have any purchasing power?
However, when Chen Xi announced this series of names, his expression suddenly changed, and his attitude was enthusiastic and respectful. Although those people were country folk, the young master in front of him was extraordinary. At first glance, he seemed to be a man of wealth and background.
He packed all the items quickly and put them into the jade box, and then asked respectfully and flatteringly: "Sir, do you think you need any other items?"
"No need. Just get a hundred sets of all these items." Chen Xi ordered casually.
When he heard the previous sentence, the waiter couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Such generous customers were rare. If he could buy more, the more he would get as a commission.
However, when he heard the second half of Chen Xi's words, his whole body froze immediately, his eyes almost fell off, and he looked dumbfounded.
