In the spacious hall of Wanbao Pavilion in Yecheng, a young man wearing a bamboo hat quickly walked in. The bamboo hat looked very wide and completely covered the young man's face, which was quite exaggerated.
However, this kind of dress only attracted a slight sideways glance from the people around him. Soon, everyone turned their attention away again, as if they were not surprised by this.
In fact, in this trading market where monks gather, there are not a few people who hide their heads and show their tails. As a monk, as long as you are older, who has not touched a few lives on your hands, come to this place where there are so many people?
In complex places, some cautious people will find ways to hide their identity.
In addition, in such markets, many monks trade treasures with each other, but their backgrounds may not be very visible. If they have ghosts in their hearts, they naturally have to keep a low profile when visiting such places.
Generally speaking, clothing like that of a boy can be seen everywhere in Wuhuafang City, and the original intention is not limited to that. Many people have their own unspeakable secrets. Over time, everyone must have become accustomed to similar clothing.
Even subconsciously, many monks will deliberately avoid such people, for fear of provoking some terrifying existence...
That young man was naturally Shen Chen. Before entering Wanbao Pavilion, he bought a bamboo hat like this at a nearby store and put it on his head. Of course, he didn't want people around him to pay attention to him.
He has always been cautious by nature, and most of the guys in Netherworld Palace now think that he is dead, but Shen Chen still feels that if he is careful in everything, he will never go wrong.
After entering the lobby on the first floor of Wanbao Pavilion, Shen Chen was not in a hurry to take action. He wandered around casually for a long time until he was familiar with everything here, and then he walked slowly towards the window on the counter.
Go.
"My dear friend, do you need to trade or have any other needs? Just ask and we will do our best to satisfy you!" In the counter window, an old man with a white ingot pattern embroidered on his chest received him, and his words were very polite.
It's not that he was slacking off because of his age.
"Well, I want to sell something first, but I don't know what channels I need to go through?" Shen Chen nodded. He didn't have any silver on hand now. It was undoubtedly very unreliable to refine the red gold sword in his hand into a spiritual weapon, at least.
You have to make money first before talking about it.
Hearing this, the old man smiled heartily and said: "It's simple. If you want to sell something, you can give me the item and related information. If it meets our minimum standards, we will put your item information according to the level.
It is hung on the sales wall on each floor of Wanbao Pavilion. After someone buys it, you can come to us to collect the proceeds from the sale. Of course, no matter what is sold, you need to pay us a certain percentage of handling fees."
"Is there a faster way?" Shen Chen frowned slightly when he heard this. The old man explained very clearly, but that method obviously did not meet his requirements. Shen Chen was not sure that he would still stay in Yecheng.
He didn't want to wait any longer for a few days.
"Haha, of course there is!"
The old man squinted his eyes and smiled, then looked at him meaningfully and said calmly: "In addition to selling through the consignment method just now, if the item you want to sell is of sufficient value, you can sell it directly to our Wanbao Pavilion. In terms of price, , we have always been innocent, little friend, you can rest assured!"
The old man said this. On the one hand, he was dutifully explaining to the customers. At the same time, he was also vaguely and tactfully reminding the young man in front of him that if he wanted to sell things through this channel, the value of the items must be eye-catching and try not to Take out some sparse and ordinary things, otherwise it will be rejected by Wanbao Pavilion and you will be embarrassed...
"oh."
Shen Chen suddenly understood and nodded seriously, as if he didn't hear the old man's reminder.
He hesitated slightly, then moved closer to the window and lowered his voice and said: "Old sir, please stretch out your hand and spread your palm!"
"This...Okay!" The old man was slightly startled. He didn't expect that the young man would make such a request. Although he was a little unhappy, the old man still did as he was told. He stretched out a withered wrist from the window and slowly Opened his palms.
Seeing this, Shen Chen took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, quickly put his hand into his sleeve, pinched it with two fingers, and took out a small handful of black stones from a small black cloth bag in the sleeve with his fingers. , and then his fingers squirmed gently on the old man's palm, and sprinkled the small handful of black stones on the old man's palm.
"Okay, old gentleman, this is what I want to sell. I hope that after seeing it, the old gentleman won't make any noise!" After doing those actions, Shen Chen came to the window and said in a low voice.
"Well, of course, our Wanbao Pavilion has been able to stand on the Tianlong Continent for thousands of years, relying on its unshakable reputation!" The old man at the counter couldn't help laughing, and said with some pride.
He found the young man in front of him very interesting. When he came to their Wanbao Pavilion, he was not only mysterious and secretive, but he also imitated the adults who licked blood from their swords all the time and hid their heads and tails. He was actually so cautious. In fact... there was no need at all.
However, when the old man casually retracted his wrist to take a look at what the "fine sand" that the little guy mysteriously sprinkled on his hand was, the next moment, when his eyes glanced at the small layer of ink-black stone in the center of his palm, At the moment of death, the old man's eyes suddenly shrank together.
"This..." Staring blankly at the small but sharp-edged grains of "sand" in his palm, the old man's heart tightened.
Immediately, he quickly felt out his breath from his arms. When he felt a steady stream of deep spiritual power emanating from the black sand, his whole body couldn't help but tremble, and his old face couldn't help but move.
However, this old man was able to sit at window No. 1 of the sub-colon hall of Wanbao Pavilion, so he was certainly not a simple person. The expression of emotion on his face had just appeared, and then he quickly concealed it, for fear that he would harm this young man due to his dereliction of duty. The guests gradually affected the reputation of Wanbao Pavilion.
"My little friend, please put the treasure away first and follow me into the stone room next door. This is not the place to talk." The old man was surprisingly dignified and serious, and his voice was also very low. He walked out of the counter quietly. Go to the passage on the side.
"Yes." Shen Chen nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and then quickly followed the old man's footsteps.
Some people around who often come here were a little surprised when they saw this scene. Although the young man could not see his face clearly, the old man guarding window No. 1 was familiar to many people. He turned out to be... It is rare to walk out and personally lead a guest into the VIP room...
………
The interior of this pavilion was much larger and more complicated than Shen Chen expected. At this moment, he was following the old man walking through the narrow passages, but there was no end in sight, as if he had entered an underground tunnel.
However, although the atmosphere was a bit tense, Shen Chen still looked calm from beginning to end, and he even couldn't help but look around curiously.
Regarding the reputation of Wanbao Pavilion, to be honest, Shen Chen didn't have too much worry.
Wanbao Pavilion is famous all over the world, and its business names are all over Tianlong Continent. He has always paid attention to reputation. He had heard about it as early as when he was in Mocheng. Judging from the information that has been circulated for a long time in the outside world, it is quite reliable.
Because of this, after weighing it again and again, Shen Chen finally chose to sell the debris that fell off during the transformation process of the black crystal of the earth veins here. Only in this Wanbao Pavilion can such hot things easily attract jealousy. Only then did Shen Chen dare to take action.
Soon, the narrow passage finally came to the end, and Shen Chen realized that he seemed to have been taken underground to the previous building.
"Haha, little friend, there is no need to worry. This place is the treasure appraisal room prepared by Wanbao Pavilion for special guests. No matter what you are carrying, little friend, Wanbao Pavilion will never have the slightest ill will towards you!"
Gu Gu smiled and waved his hands. Although he was surprised by this young man's calmness, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, the old man simply explained the situation.
"Yes." Shen Chen nodded. He had already taken off the bamboo hat on his head. At this point, this thing was of no use anymore.
Finally, at the end of the narrow stone path, Shen Chen was taken into a large stone room by Gu Gu, and there was a cave in this stone room. There were many iron doors on the wall, as if there was an underground maze running through it.
Gu Gu did not lead Shen Chen around, but very selectively led him to the iron door with a hammer pattern carved on it. Then he stretched out his skinny arm and knocked on the iron door.
"Dang-dang-dang..." After a crisp knock on the door, there was a creak and the iron door slowly opened.
A man dressed as an attendant stood behind the iron gate and saluted the old man respectfully: "Gu Gu, you are here!"
"Well, is Master Yan here?" Gu Gu said calmly, his face no longer had the politeness he had when he treated Shen Chen before, as if he was a different person.
"Reporting to the old master, Master Yan is in the house. I will go and pass the message to you now!" The attendant bowed respectfully and saluted, then turned and left.
Shen Chen stood aside and was secretly surprised. He had long heard that many high-ranking people in big forces like to play some insignificant roles on weekdays. The old man in front of him was obviously not a simple receptionist in the lobby. In all likelihood, He is an important figure in Wanbao Pavilion in Yecheng.
If this is the case, then Shen Chen has to sigh that this old man is really very open-minded. In places like Wanbao Pavilion where people from all three religions and nine classes often come and go, the more you stand at the front, the more unusual things you can see. This old man , obviously he has already seen through this...
Just as Shen Chen was thinking to himself, an ugly old man with a rough appearance and sunken eyes came out from behind the curtain opposite.
Not only was the old man's face a bit ugly, but he also looked very messy. His hair was disheveled and dirty, his long gown was dirty, and there were faint traces of being burned by the fire.
Seeing such an ugly old man who seemed to have just crawled out of the fire, even Shen Chen couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded, wondering if this was the so-called "Master Rock"?
Unexpectedly, his idea turned out to be true. After the rotten old man sat down in front of a mahogany table, Gu Gu hurriedly stepped forward and said with a very polite smile: "Master Yan, this old man has brought you a rare thing. Baby, I believe it will definitely make your eyes shine..."
"Oh? Really? You should take that old head and take a look at it." Master Yan scratched his fluffy white hair expressionlessly, like a madman, and his voice was hoarse and harsh.
"Haha, Master Yan, let's see what this is?" Gu Gu walked forward with a smile and spread his palms. Immediately, a small handful of jet black grains of clear sand were exposed in his palms.
"Leyline Black Crystal Skin?!"
The next moment, Master Yan's eyes suddenly became dull, and his hoarse voice suddenly became sharper.
