Three hundred and sixtieth chapters fight against each other
Disturbed by this incident, Shi Mu lost interest in visiting other shops.
As he walked back, his thoughts were swirling in his mind.
Liu An suddenly appeared in Cangxu City, especially on the eve of the photo shoot, which made him feel vigilant.
The situation when Liu An bloodbathed the Immortal Auction Party in Tianyu City was somewhat similar to what he saw before him, and it seemed that he had used the star stones in the auction.
Although I experienced it personally that time, I thought it had nothing to do with me, but in the end I was indirectly wanted by the Tongtian Immortal Sect for the matter.
Now one of the organizers of this auction is Zhong Xiu. This is one of the people he cares about most. He must not let anything happen to Zhong Xiu. Even if he faces someone whose cultivation power far exceeds his own, he will not back down.
.
Thinking of this, Shi Mu couldn't help but clenched his fists.
At this moment, a small figure swooped down from mid-air and landed on Shi Mu's shoulder. It was Cai'er.
"Where did you just run?" Shi Mu asked.
"What do you think? Fortunately, I reacted quickly and flew early! I don't know why, but every time I see this Liu An, I feel uncomfortable all over. How come he and Miss Leng also know each other?" Cai'er said.
"Miss Leng is the daughter of the leader of the Ming Yue Sect. They are both members of the Ming Yue Western Sect. It's not surprising that they know each other. But there is a deputy leader and a leader's daughter. Why do they come together to find Linghu Kuan..." Shi Mu Ruo said.
He murmured thoughtfully.
"Shitou, why did I see you and Liu An chatting happily inside, and I thought you were really old friends who I haven't seen for many years." Cai'er said.
"Now Leng Yuetong probably thinks so. Cai'er, go and watch Liu An and monitor his every move. If there is any abnormal behavior, tell me immediately." Shi Mu said.
"Liu An is as cunning as a ghost and has a high level of cultivation. What will I do if he finds out? I'm not really afraid of him, but there is always a chance in everything. What if he finds out that I am following him? I
I don’t want to be turned into a zombie parrot!” Cai’er trembled when she heard this and yelled reluctantly.
"I know what you're capable of. If you fly higher and farther away, he won't be able to find you." Shi Mu said.
Cai'er wanted to say something more, but was blocked by a water-attribute spirit stone that followed closely.
Cai'er swallowed the spirit stone in two mouthfuls, burped, and then glanced at Shi Mu with a resentful look, said nothing more, and flew away with her wings spread.
That night, Shi Mu was sitting cross-legged in the house, meditating.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed in front of his eyes, and it was Cai'er who opened the shared vision.
Then, a picture emerged in Shi Mu's mind.
A man in a moon-white robe was riding a black horse out of the west gate of Cangxu City, turned directly into a rugged mountain road not far away, and headed away from the outside of the city.
Due to the hazy night, the other person was riding very fast, and Cai'er seemed to be far away, so I couldn't see the person's face clearly.
But judging from the other party's attire and long bloody hair, there is no doubt that this person is Liu An.
When Shi Mu saw this, he was startled.
Liu An actually left Cangxu City without doing anything this time, which made Shi Mu feel a little confused.
Although I don't know whether the other party is leaving temporarily or has other plans, but the other party is not in the city, I always feel a sense of relief in my heart.
"By the way, Leng Yuetong didn't go with him?" Shi Mu suddenly thought of something.
At this moment, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open with a creak, and Zhong Xiu walked in from the outside, with a tired look on his face.
"Xiu'er, you're back." Shi Mu went out to greet him.
Zhong Xiu went out early this morning, saying that he was going to visit some businesses and influencers in the city, trying to make some contacts and find some cooperation opportunities for the upcoming auction.
"Are things going well?" Shi Mu asked.
"Elder Zhao has been running Cangxu City for many years. Some of the big forces or shops in the city are supporting her overtly or covertly. Although she did not refuse it explicitly, I can tell that even if they have entrusted items, they are unlikely to come to us. These days
At the end of the day, I only attracted the support of some small and medium-sized forces, and this was the result of making many concessions in terms of commissions." Zhong Xiu and Shi Mu walked into a living room side by side, sat down, and said.
Shi Mu nodded, these situations were all expected.
The enchanting woman occupies a favorable location and has the secret support of Vice President Wang, a senior executive of the chamber of commerce. It is normal for her to be at an advantage in the beginning.
"By the way, the star stone owned by Lord Linghu should not be included in this commissioned auction, right?" Shi Mu asked.
"Well, he didn't take out the star stone. At present, it seems that the star stone you entrusted to us, Brother Shi, is our biggest support at present, but Elder Zhao should also have something for the finale." Zhong Xiu said.
"It doesn't matter, Xiu'er, don't worry too much, I still have a way." Shi Mu said.
"Brother Shi, you...what else can you do?" Zhong Xiu was stunned. Although he would not doubt anything Shi Mu said, he still felt a little unbelievable.
After all, Shi Mu was able to produce a star stone, and she was already very satisfied. In the Immortal Ascension Auction Party in Tianyu City, the final item was just a star stone.
"Xiu'er, go and buy some talismans made of animal skins for me. The higher the level, the better." Shi Mu said.
"There's nothing wrong with this, but what do you plan to use it for? Could it be..." Zhong Xiu asked.
"That's right, drawing talismans. You may not know, Xiu'er, that I have quite a lot of experience in making talismans." Shi Mu said with a smile.
Zhong Xiu was startled when he heard this, but before he could ask any more questions, Shi Mu took out a small jade box, handed it to Zhong Xiu, and said:
"Also, I have a gift for you today."
Zhong Xiu took it in a daze, as if he hadn't yet reacted to what Shi Mu had just said.
Opening the lid of the box, there is a thumb-sized green fruit inside.
"What is this?" Zhong Xiu asked.
"This thing is called Ningyan Fruit. After taking it, your appearance will last forever." Shi Mu said.
"Really?" Zhong Xiu was overjoyed.
The Biyin Ten Thousand Waves Technique she practices is quite special. It is a rare technique among martial arts practitioners. After joining the Chamber of Commerce, she used the resources here to be the first to enter the moon level realm with her techniques, and her lifespan was lengthened.
At the same time, appearance aging also becomes very slow, but no matter how slow it is, it will still age. No woman can resist the desire of eternal beauty.
"Of course it's true." Shi Mu said.
Zhong Xiu's eyes lit up, and with a whoosh, he took out the Ningyan Fruit, stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation, and swallowed it.
"Hey, there's no need to be so anxious..." Shi Mu was startled.
"This way you won't grow old..." Zhong Xiu seemed to be choked, burped, and then smiled.
Shi Mu couldn't help but laugh a little.
"By the way, there is also this. I got it outside today. Let's put it in the auction to increase the chips." Shi Mu took out the Ghost Crying Core again.
"Gui Cui Rui!" Zhong Xiu said with some surprise, then nodded.
As for the God-Calming Tower, Shi Mu thought about it for a while, but finally didn't take it out.
…
Time gradually passed, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye. The once-in-a-decade photography conference in Cangxu City was approaching.
In recent times, the flow of people in Cangxu City has been several times greater than usual, and many representatives of nearby barbarian forces have arrived in droves, making the shops in various parts of the city even more prosperous.
After the announcement from the City Lord's Palace at the beginning of the month, most people have learned that this Cangxu auction will still be hosted by the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce and will be divided into two venues, the east and west. However, some careful people discovered that the Yingxian Pavilion in the east of the city
The cooperation between the venue and the Yuquan Pavilion venue in the west of the city was different from usual this time, and there was actually a potential for confrontation.
In the past few days since the beginning of the month, Yingxian Pavilion and Yuquan Pavilion have held several small auctions and set up some permanent stalls, nominally to gather popularity, but in terms of time arrangements, products, and even publicity
In terms of strength and other aspects, they are unwilling to give in to each other.
Where there is competition, there will be improvement. In this way, everyone will naturally have more expectations for the final official auction.
To the west of Cangxu City, Yuquan Pavilion.
In a room in the pavilion, a charming woman stood in front of the window, looking at the crowd swarming below, with a proud look on her face.
"Elder Zhao is really extraordinary. He has achieved outstanding results in the recent auctions. Although these results are not included in the final total, they have directly contributed to several large commissions." A young woman in green wearing a gold hairpin looked complimentary.
Said in his mouth.
The enchanting woman had a proud look on her face. She took the first step to get all the high-quality goods from Zhong Xiu. She sold some at the small auctions held in the past few days. Because the quality was higher than the other party, and some local forces
The support really attracted a large number of guests.
"How is the situation over there at Yingxian Pavilion?" the enchanting woman asked immediately.
"Now more than 50% of the potential customers in the city have gathered in our Yuquan Pavilion. Except for some who have not taken action yet, the number of people who come to Zhongxiu's Yingxian Pavilion is probably less than 20%." said the young woman in green.
"Very good, continue to suppress the business of Yingxian Pavilion. We will double the price of all the items they bring out, and the price will be reduced by 10%." The enchanting woman said with a cold light in her eyes.
"Yes." The young woman in green agreed hastily.
Although she was the former shopkeeper of Yuquan Pavilion, her status in the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce was far different from that of the enchanting woman, and now she wanted to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with her.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and a man in green clothes walked in.
"Elder Zhao, Elder Gushan of the Divine Eagle Tribe, Patriarch Zan of the Cangyu Tribe, the sect president of the Black Spirit Society, and others have already arrived." The man in green said.
"Okay, let them wait for a moment, I will go over immediately." After the enchanting woman said a few more words to the young woman in green, she straightened her appearance and walked out. (To be continued.)
