"Okay..." Qi Xiang looked around and felt more surprised. He was becoming more and more curious now, and he also vaguely understood the true meaning of the tea and herbal tea party.

In an instant, Qi Xiang realized that the pot of camellia given to him by the white lotus might have other profound meanings. At that moment, he turned around and hugged the camellia in his arms.

Sure enough, the staff member didn't care, and then turned around and said, "Sir, please follow me."

Qi Xiang nodded slightly, followed the staff step by step, first left the room, then walked along a corridor, and after a roundabout way, his eyes suddenly became clear and a giant hall appeared.

The huge hall is wide, about 300 square meters, divided into two floors.

At this moment, there were already many people wandering around in the hall, and the outfits of these people were similar to those of Qi Xiang. The unified black cloak, wearing a mask on his face, hid his identity.

Qi Xiang came to the hall and the staff left.

Some people glanced at his arrival and didn't care at all.

Qi Xiang walked to the corner quietly and slowly looked around. She found that not only were the people dressed in uniform, but everyone was holding something in their hands.

However, the things on each person's hands are a little different. There are either a pot of plants, flowers and plants, or some strange items wrapped tightly, but there is no duplicate thing anyway.

Qi Xiang was thinking about something, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and her heart thumped: "No, this is... the gathering of cultivators, right?"

As Qi Xiang was thinking about it, more and more people in black-clothed cloaks entered the hall, some were on the first floor and some were on the second floor. As soon as they were up and down, everyone was spreading separately, and they were very vigilant.

"That white lotus should be in it too." Qi Xiang was secretly careful, but he could only judge the height, shortness, fatness and thinness of those people through the cloak. Many people have moderate body shapes and look similar, making it difficult to lock in the target.

"Welcome to everyone..."

Suddenly, someone spoke, and Qi Xiang was stunned when she heard the sound.

At this moment, a familiar figure walked out in the corridor on the second floor and greeted everyone with a smile. It is worth mentioning that unlike others, he was not wearing a black cloak, nor a mask.

So Qi Xiang also saw it very clearly that this person was Zhu Hongwu.

At first glance, Qi Xiang was naturally very surprised. When he saw Zhu Hongwu standing up, he realized that the organizer of this party was undoubtedly Zhu Hongwu.

However, in his surprise, he felt relieved and even felt a little natural. After all, in his impression, Zhu Hongwu himself was a legendary figure.

As a public figure, most of Zhu Hongwu's life and deeds have been researched. He knew that he was born in the early last century and spent his childhood in a war-torn and turbulent era.

As the lowest level of society, Zhu Hongwu's rise was naturally very bumpy and legendary. When he was a child, he fled with his parents and came to the great world of flowers at that time!

Shortly after arriving in the city, his parents both died, leaving him alone and living a life of wandering and begging.

During this period, he joined a very famous gang at that time, and was said to have worked as a tea servant and servant for tycoons like Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, and was highly appreciated.

For the specific process, we can refer to the experiences of Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li.

In short, after years of hard work, Zhu Hongwu has made his mark in the gang. Many people think he is the most expected to replace Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong and become the next big shot in the world.

But to everyone's surprise, when Zhu Hongwu was only one step away from the big boss's road, he actually chose to wash his hands at the last moment, saying that he wanted to go abroad to study.

A gang member actually said he was going to study abroad, but he didn't know how many pairs of glasses were broken.

In the astonished eyes of everyone, Zhu Hongwu insisted on taking the retention of his brothers. Facts proved that the path he chose was very correct, and he happened to avoid the storm in the future.

After a few years of Zhu Hongwu's trip abroad, he won the War of Resistance, and then the War of Liberation. After three years, the world was unified, and then the gang members who were originally very free and easy immediately ushered in a catastrophe.

During that period, tycoons like Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng did not end up well.

Only after Zhu Hongwu went abroad, he stayed away from the right and wrong in the world. He studied in Europe for several years, and ran a company while studying, and his career was booming.

More than 20 years later, during the reform and opening up of the mainland, Zhu Hongwu returned to China as soon as possible, transformed himself into a patriotic overseas Chinese, and then devoted himself to tea foreign trade.

Strictly speaking, the tea trade in the entire Taihu Lake area is booming, and Zhu Hongwu has a lot of contributions to it.

In a blink of an eye, more than 30 years have passed, and Zhu Hongwu's business is still booming, and has established deep cooperative relations with tea merchants and tea shops of all sizes in Jiangnan.

It is for this reason that even if Zhu Hongwu does not have a tea garden and does not plant many acres of tea trees, he has become the recognized leader in the industry and the well-deserved tea king.

What is even more rare is that Zhu Hongwu did not hide any of his experiences in the first half of his life, and often used his own examples to warn everyone not to go the wrong path. Or if he realized that he had gone astray, he should correct it immediately.

Anyway, for the past thirty years, Zhu Hongwu has been keen on charity and has helped many people in need, so he is naturally respected.

But Qi Xiang did not expect that such a person was actually related to the world of cultivation.

Qi Xiang was thinking, and suddenly realized that this matter seemed normal. After all, Zhu Hongwu is almost ninety years old, but his face is not old, and he is full of energy and his voice is like a big bell.

At the beginning, Qi Xiang thought that this was the way for the rich to maintain health.

But now when I think about it, maybe there are other factors...

“I’m glad you’re here to attend this party.”

At this time, Zhu Hongwu smiled and said in a daze: "I believe everyone is clear about the purpose of the party, and I don't talk much nonsense anymore. In short, I wish you all here to come here to enjoy the pleasure and return with a full load!"

After a brief speech, Zhu Hongwu left, very neatly.

Qi Xiang was speechless, feeling that Zhu Hongwu was really not responsible enough and didn't say it clearly. He had some guesses, but he didn't know if he guessed correctly.

However, Qi Xiang is not stupid either. On the May Day, Zhu Hong left, he closely followed the movements of others.

After looking around, he found that some people holding things in their hands dispersed directly as if they had a tacit understanding, and then walked into the small rooms next to the hall.

As soon as those people entered, they put their things on the table and sat down, as if they were setting up stalls and waiting for customers to come to the door.

In fact, someone did come to the door. Some people followed into the room and then closed the door. As for what the two of them talked about in the room, outsiders don’t know.

"I see……"

Qi Xiang understood it, and immediately found a room nearby to sit down and put the camellia right away.

At this moment, someone walked in and closed the door. In an instant, in the not-so-spacious room, only Qi Xiang and the man looked at each other with big eyes and stared at him.

"cough……"

After a moment, the man couldn't help but speak, breaking the silence: "What is your basin?"

Qi Xiang could also hear that the person was deliberately pressured his voice and changed his voice, but judging from the sound quality, this person should not be old.

"Wait..." Qi Xiang's heart moved, looking up and down at that, thinking that it wouldn't be that coincidental.

Seeing Zhu Hongwu, Qi Xiang couldn't help but think of Zhu Qiao.

You should know that a few days ago, Zhu Qiao visited Zhu Hongwu, and he was very courteous. Perhaps he knew that there was such a party and wanted to attend...

"It shouldn't be so coincidental." Qi Xiang looked at his eyes. His eyes were not that powerful and could penetrate the mask, so he was not sure of the identity of the person coming.

At the same time, his movements were not slow, and he pulled open the thin cloth covering the camellia. In an instant, the person opposite obviously lit up his eyes, and he was obviously interested in the eighteenth bachelor who was beautiful in shape and colorful in flowers.

The man watched for a while, then put down the things in his hand, pushed them to the center of the table, and signaled Qi Xiang to observe.

Qi Xiang glanced at him and saw that the things were wrapped tightly and contained in the box. The box was not locked. He reached out and gently flipped the lid of the box, and a dry thing came into his eyes.

"Huh!"

When Qi Xiang saw it, he was a little surprised. Because the thing in the box was a ginseng.

He didn't know much about ginseng, nor could he tell that it was a natural wild ginseng or a artificially grown variety. Anyway, ginseng is not small in size and has clear stems. Someone's bands should be more expensive.

Qi Xiang could smell the strong ginseng fragrance with a gentle smell.

“…change?”

The man spoke, his tone filled with strong expectations.

Qi Xiang smiled, finally understood the rules of the game, and then shook her head decisively. Although he didn't know the value of the ginseng, he understood the preciousness of the Eighteenth Bachelor's Camellia.

If Bachelor Eighteen is ordinary camellia, it is definitely more valuable to ginseng. But camellia is a spiritual plant. In comparison, its value is definitely far higher than ginseng.

At least Qi Xiang is sure that if he agrees to change, he will definitely suffer a loss.

"Why……"

The man seemed to understand this fact, shook his head in disappointment, and then said unwillingly: "I can increase the price."

Qi Xiang still shook his head. He was full of curiosity about this party, so he naturally didn't want to complete the transaction so quickly. He also wanted to see what good things others had in their hands, and maybe they could get some vacancy.

There is an idiom called "Should be sold at a price", and Qi Xiang now has a similar mentality. Camellia containing spiritual energy is very rare, and some people will definitely be interested, so he cannot take action casually.

The most important thing is that even if you lose your hands, he will make a profit...

I won’t say much, as long as you collect and ticket, please support me, thank you.
