The old man driving the carriage gradually drove away, leaving behind the envious eyes of all the carriage drivers.
"Old man Guo made a lot of money today!"
"Yes, yes, I will let him treat me to a Xuanshi feast someday."
"Listening to their conversation, it seems that the young man is going to participate in the Hundred Sects' Disciple Ceremony seven days later? I really can't believe that at such a young age, he is going to the world of cultivation?"
"My son is about the same age as him, and he is still just a three-star Xuan disciple. It's so irritating that people are so different from each other!"
"Having said that, the ceremony of accepting hundreds of disciples once every ten years is no child's play."
"In the past grand ceremonies, countless kingdoms, princes and grandsons of empires, and geniuses from wealthy families were eager to try. But in the end, they all came to nothing."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Chen Shen listened to all these coachman's discussions and just smiled slightly.
The roads in the city extend in all directions, running from east to west, north to south, and it is endless as far as the eye can see.
The young man rode a carriage and wandered aimlessly in the city.
In addition to getting familiar with the town, he mainly wanted to learn more about Ziwei's journey to China from the coachman's mouth.
After some small talk, Chen Shen already had a preliminary understanding of Ziwei Xingyu City, Ziwei National Religion, and Ziqiong Merchant Alliance.
Come to think of it, his five thousand gold coins were spent wisely.
This Mr. Guo is truly an "old native" in Ziwei Xingyu City. Even Chen Shen's questions can't trouble him.
Opening the curtains for sightseeing along the way, the young man discovered that even the alleys that were inconspicuous in other towns were much wider in Ziwei Xingyu than the airport runways he had seen in his previous life.
"It is indeed a huge city covering an area of thousands of miles. It is full of beautiful buildings and beautiful buildings, and the roads are like stone." The young man sighed secretly in his heart.
This stroll lasted most of the day, and it was almost dusk now.
"Okay, Mr. Guo, take me to the pub."
"Okay! Sit tight and drive!"
"Xi Yu Yu!"
The two sweaty horses roared loudly and sped up.
Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of a four-story small restaurant. The four-story pavilion could be squeezed into the middle stream in the Great Xia Imperial Capital, but in Ziwei Xingyu City, it can only be described as "small".
.
"Madam boss, a distinguished guest is coming, why don't you come out to greet the guest?"
Mr. Guo let Chen Shen through the gate and shouted at the top of his voice.
The proprietress, who was dressed coolly and showed off her breasts and waist, saw that Chen Shen had extraordinary bearing. Then she saw that Chen Shen was wearing a space mysterious ring on the middle finger of his right hand, and the smile on her face became brighter.
She rushed forward, dismissed the waiter, and greeted her personally: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Guo! The people you brought to the door must be rich and powerful people!"
The MILF is half old, but her charm is still there.
When she deliberately twisted her hips, her pair of breasts trembled and made magnificent waves, attracting the attention of countless diners who were scattered around the table: "Is this handsome young man going to stay in a hotel or go to the top?"
When asking questions, this beautiful woman did not forget to give the other party a wink and deliberately puffed up her proud breasts, which immediately caused another sound of swallowing saliva.
But the principal in front of her seemed unmoved, and said with a smile: "It's both. Prepare a secluded upper room for me, a table of signature dishes, and a pot of light wine."
"The shop is a time-honored brand in Zhongcheng District, and its signature dishes are all top-grade Xuanshi?" the proprietress said in a waxy voice.
"If it's not Xuanshi, I won't eat it." Chen Shen smiled slightly: "You can rest assured that you can afford it."
"Young master, you are really happy. I will take you to the Tianxiang Accord on the top floor. I guarantee it will be quiet and spacious enough." After that, she twisted her waist in front to lead the way, trying her best to seduce you.
"Then I'll be waiting for you here, young master." Old Man Guo bowed slightly and said goodbye.
Unexpectedly, Chen Shen shook his head: "No, I can't finish the whole table of food, why don't you enjoy it with me?"
"this……"
"Okay, stop being wordy and let's go!"
"Thank you very much, sir. I will be disrespectful to you."
But the landlady secretly curled her lips: "Oh my, this little guy really doesn't know how to be charming. I thought I could seduce him, and then I'd do a little blackmail, but I didn't expect..."
"Did he see through my trick? Well... it seems very possible. He casually asked for a table of top-grade mysterious food. Although he has no bodyguards or followers, he is still a wealthy person."
"That's all, I'd better be more honest so as not to hit a hard target."
Not long after, the aroma of food and wine filled the Tianxiang Argyle.
Chen Shen looked at Mr. Guo who was a little restrained and said with a smile: "You're welcome if you let me go. This is my way of thanking you for your guidance and guidance along the way."
"Don't take your advice seriously." The old man was flattered.
The two of them chatted while eating: "Mr. Guo is indeed a coachman whose driving skills have been passed down from generation to generation. He went smoothly all the way."
"By the way, why don't you see your children and grandchildren? Why don't you see them inheriting your father's legacy when you are still driving a sports car at your age?"
"Alas, you don't know something." Guo Laoqing sighed: "Quanzi and his wife took a long trip across the city seventeen years ago and never came back. In all likelihood, they were robbed and killed...
It’s his own fault for disobeying the teachings of his ancestors.”
"If he had listened to his ancestors' instructions and waited for the business instead of grabbing it eagerly for profit, he would not have been like this. Now, the old man and his granddaughter Guo Xiaofei depend on each other."
"Oh? Isn't Ziwei Paradise known as the most comfortable place?"
"No matter how comfortable you are, you can only stay within the city. When you go outside the city, there are far more murders and goods extortion in the Ziwei Kingdom than in other countries. After all, the country is all about commerce, and there are caravans from all directions traveling everywhere at all times."
Chen Shen raised his glass and drank a cup with the old man, but he heard the old man laugh and said: "I'm not afraid of the young master's jokes. My granddaughter is a cook apprentice in this restaurant."
"But don't worry, Sir, I didn't bring you here just to get more kickbacks. Sir, please look, this restaurant is directly opposite Xingyu Plaza."
"The ceremony for accepting hundreds of sects' disciples will be held in seven days' time. However... Master, you don't have the Xingyu Card. If you want to enter, I'm afraid you will have to spend a lot of money."
"Speaking of which, this year's Hundred Sects Inducting Disciples Ceremony is being held in the Ziwei Kingdom, which has brought great business opportunities to the Ziwei Country."
"Oh?" Chen Shen raised his eyebrows with interest, gesturing for the other party to continue talking.
"Zi Qiong and Tian Yu are the two largest business alliances in Ziwei Kingdom. They will jointly hold a large-scale auction in three days, named 'Tian Qiong Auction'. It is said to be the best in the past century and covers all kinds of heaven and earth."
Treasures of materials and land.”
"The venue is Wanbao Pavilion on the west side of Xingyu Plaza, not far from where you are staying."
"Master, if you are interested, I can take you there."
Hearing that the organizer of this auction was actually the Purple Qiong Merchant Alliance, Chen Shen couldn't help but feel a move in his heart: "This will trouble the old man."
