Chapter 27: Linlang Pavilion
The three major families in Mohe City, the Xiao family, the Zhang family and the Tang family, each family has a large number of real estate and shops in the city, but the three major families have not dabbled in the most profitable auction houses in the city.
All this is just because of the name of this auction house - Linlang Pavilion.
Linlang Pavilion, the largest auction house in the Qin Empire, has its distribution points in the 36 counties of the nine prefectures of the empire, and the owner behind it is the current son-in-law Nangong Lie. The royal relatives, plus the huge power of the Nangong family, naturally no one dares to offend them under this background.
Perhaps in some larger prefectures and imperial capitals, there are forces that can compete with the Nangong family and dare to open a second and third auction house, but in this small Mohe City, no one dares to be arrogant and open this second auction house.
Linlang Pavilion is the destination of Xiao Chen's trip. He cannot reveal his identity as an alchemist to get money from the Xiao family, let alone sell the moon stones in the room. If you want to make money quickly, you can only rely on the fasting pill that you refined last night.
After tidying up the cloak on his body, looking at the gorgeous sign of Linlang Pavilion, a smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face in the shadow, and he slowly walked into Linlang Pavilion.
Due to the lack of crowds, Linlang Pavilion in Mohe City only holds a small auction every month and a medium auction every three months. Large auctions are only held once a year. At that time, it is also the most lively season in Mohe City.
It's almost the end of the month now. There are many people coming to see the goods in advance in the lobby on the first floor. These people are undoubtedly very high-ranking people in Mohe City. Among them, the three major families have the largest number. Xiao Chen even saw many acquaintances of the Xiao family, but it is not the time to say hello.
A dangerous aura suddenly came from behind, followed by a palm that was about to delve. Xiao Chenming felt this aura keenly, his body flashed forward suddenly, and he turned around and took action in an instant.
Puchi!
He immediately grabbed the man's wrist and Xiao Chen grabbed the man's wrist and used a little force. The man immediately showed a hint of pain and shouted with a stern expression: "Bastard, let me go."
This man was wearing a blue and white warrior robe, with a look of twenty-seven or eight. His cultivation was at the middle level of warriors. He had a yellow money flower embroidered on his collar. Xiao Chen knew in his heart that this person should be the guard of Linlang Pavilion, but he had no intention of letting go.
The force on his hand increased again and he said coldly: "Why attack me?"
The man cried out again and cursed: "Bastard, please let go quickly, otherwise you won't want to get out of this Linlang Pavilion."
The voices of the two quickly attracted people around them, and they looked at Xiao Chen with some jokes. Xiao Chen's cultivation level was only at the low level of a warrior. These people could tell at a glance that a small low-level warrior dared to come to Linlang Pavilion to cause trouble, which was too ignorant.
Soon a large group of warriors in blue and white ran away, led a warrior embroidered with money, and surrounded Xiao Chen under the leadership of a warrior at the level of a martial artist.
The martial artist had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was burly and strong, but the expression on his face seemed extremely cautious, and he did not look particularly angry or irritable. His eyebrows frowned slightly. After looking at Xiao Chen, he looked at Xiao Chen and placed his eyes on the person who was locked by Xiao Chen, and said in a cold voice: "Gao Long, what's going on?"
Gao Long, whose wrist was locked by Xiao Chen, had an expression on his face incredibly painful. A trace of electric current was constantly transmitted from Xiao Chen's hand and rushed into his body. Every time he finally gathered his vitality, the energy he had finally collapsed and disappeared when he touched the current, making him unable to break free from Xiao Chen's palm.
"Captain, this man is dressed in a strange way. After entering the hall, he looked around with a scattered look. I was afraid that he had any unspeakable purpose, so I wanted to capture him and ask." Gao Long said in a trembling voice.
His high-quality warrior was detained by a low-quality warrior. Even if he was right this time and lost the face of Linlang Pavilion, the captain's punishment would definitely not be able to escape. When he thought of the captain's punishment, Gao Long's body couldn't help but tremble.
The top-grade warrior, known as the captain, was also a little confused when he saw Xiao Chen's dressing. Who would dress so weird like Xiao Chen, covering his whole body with a cloak, looking ulterior motive.
"This friend is in Jiang Qi, the first floor guard commander of Linlang Pavilion. I don't know what you are doing, but what to buy." Although he had already made up his mind to Xiao Chen, Jiang Qi still asked with a cautious attitude.
"No." The shadow under the cloak covered Xiao Chen's face, and he could not see any expression.
Gao Long, who was locked by him, was glad when he heard this. He was not here to buy things, so he naturally came to make trouble when he came. Since he was here to make trouble, this kid would definitely not be able to get out. He smiled in his heart and the pain in his hands seemed to be relieved.
"Then you are here, do you have friends?" Jiang Qi asked patiently, but the murderous aura that had been hidden was unscrupulously released. As long as Xiao Chen's answer was no longer neglected, he would take action immediately. No matter who was making trouble in Linlang Pavilion, there would be only one end, death!
The momentum of Jiang Qi's top-grade martial artist dissipated around, and the murderous aura firmly enveloped Xiao Chen. The fierce murderous aura even trembled with the people around him. When these people looked at Xiao Chen again, they regarded him as a dead person.
The strong murderous aura can even be felt by the people around you. In fact, it is also a reason why the realm is not enough. It is condensed but not solid. The murderous aura of a real master can gather into a linear network, gathering but not dispersing all over the target, but the people around you cannot feel it at all.
Xiao Chen, surrounded by murderous aura, said lightly: "I have no friends here."
Jiang Qi sneered, "That's offending."
call!
The air around suddenly became cold, and a bitter cold gathered on his body. A ray of ice wrapped his fist and roared towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen took a step back, turned Gao Long's body around the air, threw it hard towards Jiang Qi, and then calmly unhurriedly uncovered the bottle cap from the jade bottle of the fasting pill in his arms. A rich fragrance of medicine spread around, and soon the entire hall on the first floor was floating.
"What kind of pill is this? Why is it so fragrant?"
"Is this guy an alchemist?"
"I think it looks very similar. Those alchemists have strange behaviors, otherwise he wouldn't have been so calm."
In the hall, there were waves of discussion. These were all people with some identity who had contact with elixirs, but had never seen such a strong fragrance. For a moment, Xiao Chen was regarded as a mysterious alchemist with a high level.
Under the cloak, Xiao Chen gently pulled the corner of his mouth upwards and smiled, "Doesn't there even be someone to talk about business in the huge Linlang Pavilion?"
Jiang Qi, who had just caught Gao Long, threw him to the ground. When he heard Xiao Chen's words, he saw the pill in Xiao Chen's hand and knew that he might have caused trouble. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Senior, you are rude. Please forgive me if you are embarrassed."
Although Xiao Chen's strength is only a low-grade warrior, it would be natural for him to call him senior if he could refine high-grade elixirs.
Gao Long, who was lying on the ground, grinned in pain. Xiao Chen used great force when he threw him to Jiang Qi. With Jiang Qi's casual throw, there was no place under his body. Hearing Jiang Qi's words, he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave. He had gone bad luck today and actually offended an alchemist as a sneaky thief.
Xiao Chen didn't care about Jiang Qi's attitude changes. These were all within his expectations. There was nothing strange about it. He continued: "Stop talking nonsense, take me into your treasure appraiser. My pill will be auctioned at the end of this month."
Jiang Qi bowed and thanked him again, led Xiao Chen to the cabinet, and asked Xiao Chen indirectly about where Xiao Chen came from along the way. This trick, Xiao Chen would naturally not be fooled, and he said a lot of nonsense half-true.
Looking at Xiao Chen's departure back, after a long time, the quiet first-floor lobby broke into pieces again, and the conversation started to respond one after another.
"This alchemist actually came to bid for auction. Lao Chen, when was the last time Linlang Pavilion auctioned elixirs? Do you remember it?"
"A third-grade pill was auctioned at a large-scale auction held last year."
"I think this year's large-scale auction may be held in advance. The elixir brought by the mysterious man is definitely the third grade or above."
"Nonsense, how could a third-grade elixir have such a strong aroma? The fourth-grade elixir I have seen before do not have such a strong aroma." Someone next to the man immediately came out to retort.
"How is it possible? At least the fourth-grade alchemist who has refined the fourth-grade alchemist. There are not many fourth-grade alchemists in the entire Roger State. How could they come to my small Mohe City?"
For a moment, in the hall, there was a fierce debate about what level of this mysterious pill was.
...
At this time, in the cabinet, Mr. Hu, the elixir appraiser, was sweating profusely, thinking hard in his mind about what level of the pill this pill was, and he didn't have to eat within a month after taking it. What pill is this? It's unheard of in Daqin.
The appraisers in Linlang Pavilion have a good vision. These appraisers are trained by Linlang Pavilion themselves and will be distributed after layers of assessment. The appraisers in Linlang Pavilion start from the lowest level and then rise based on their grades.
Therefore, even if the treasure appraisers in Mohe City have their true strength, they can stand alone in any state-level auction hall in other auction halls.
Mr. Hu looked at the pill in his hand carefully. He was sure that this pill was definitely not something that fooled people. No matter the fragrance of the pill, the smoothness and color, it was not something that ordinary people could refine. But he had never heard of any pill in this world called fasting pill. How did he set the price? He was very distressed for a moment.
Xiao Chen took a sip of the tea next to him again, and looked at Mr. Hu who was still exploring, and said impatiently: "Mr. Hu, you can make a quote after researching for so long."
Mr. Hu wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally decided to be more safe. He said apologetically: "Your Excellency, wait for a while, I cannot identify this pill, so I will go and invite the Pavilion Master."
