Chapter 98 What do you want?

Camellia is a gift given by others and has certain value in itself. Qi Xiang is naturally very calm and does not fear loss in her hands.

Seeing Qi Xiang refuse to be decisive, the man knew there was no hope. He sighed and stood up and left the room directly. Only after his front foot, someone came in.

When the newcomer entered the door, he saw the beautiful camellia on the table at the first glance. His eyes lit up, and he quickly closed the door again, then walked over and sat down quickly, as if he was a little excited.

"Ahem..."

The man didn't speak for a long time, and Qi Xiang couldn't help but cough as a reminder.

"Good flowers!"

The man woke up from a dream, and his tone was a little excited: "This is the most authentic camellia produced in Dali. It is also cultivated and formed in the wild, and it is watered every day, and it will grow purely and naturally, so that the flowers will be so beautiful and full of vitality."

“Huh?”

Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment, not expecting that this man knew the appearance of camellia very well and spoke very well. Anyway, he definitely didn't understand, so he had to deal with it vaguely: "Where is your stuff?"

"I didn't bring anything..."

The man shook his head and said hopefully: "But I can buy your flowers with a lot of money!"

Qi Xiang didn't say anything at all, and simply pointed at the door. The meaning was very clear, letting the man go by himself, so that he would not speak to drive him away.

"Brother, listen to me, I'm really sincere..." The man certainly wouldn't give up easily, and his palm swayed: "Five million, how about it?"

"You don't know that the reason why I attended this party was that in previous years, there were very rare and precious camellias here, so I came here to try my luck."

The man said, "When I see now, it's my luck that this is true. Such a perfect camellia is absolutely rare and precious. Please help me..."

Qi Xiang was a little impatient. What luck did he meet a man who was obsessed with camellia. He was shaken now. Is this a gathering of cultivators or a game played by a group of rich people?

Qi Xiang's mind changed and suddenly stood up: "If you don't leave, I'll leave!"

Qi Xiang was very straightforward and walked straight to the door, just about to leave the room.

At this moment, the man bounced up, quickly reached out and stopped him, and whispered: "Wait..."

"What, do you want to grab it?" Qi Xiang's eyes were full of vigilance.

"Who dares?" The man smiled bitterly. He was not afraid of causing public outrage when he was in this place. A group of people attacked him. The consequences were very serious and he could not afford them.

The man seemed helpless and muttered: "Are all the newcomers nowadays so clever? I thought I could fool you and pick up some liabilities..."

"This guy... seems to be uneasy."

When Qi Xiang heard the sound, she was suddenly shocked and naturally took a step back and took a precaution.

"What are you afraid of? I don't dare to take action."

The man was wearing a mask and didn't know what his expression was. He walked back and sat down anyway, waved and said, "Come back, let's have a good talk."

"What are you talking about?" Qi Xiang thought about it, and then followed the man as he was good, sitting opposite him.

Seeing this, the man looked a little approving in his eyes, but he said, "I'm the most annoying to you newcomers. Every newcomer who comes first looks cautious and worried about being persecuted..."

"Huh?" Qi Xiang thought something and immediately became clear. He thought just now that he was the staff of the villa who leaked his identity. But now it seems that this is not the case.

Perhaps, when he entered the giant hall, he was too cautious and not calm enough. Such actions were naturally particularly distinctive compared to others. Just like the stars in the night sky, they could not be concealed at all.

At the same time, Qi Xiang became more and more aware of that he was a newcomer and came to him as soon as possible. Even if there was no such thing as hiding evil intentions, he probably had the mentality of taking advantage of it.

"I'm unlucky, I met a newcomer who knows what he knows..."

The man shook his head and sighed: "It seems that you should understand the true value of this camellia, but brought it over. This shows that camellia is not of great use to you, so you just said it, what do you need?"

Qi Xiang blinked her eyes and asked, "No matter what I need, you can bring it?"

"Hey, it seems that you don't know my identity anymore." The man said proudly: "Newbie, your introducer, haven't you popularized some basic knowledge at the party?"

"No." Qi Xiang shook her head directly.

"...I understand." The man felt relieved: "After a long time, it turned out to be a pawn who crossed the river. Come here to try the water."

Qi Xiang said silently, wishing that person misunderstood.

"Forget it, then I'll just let it go and explain it to you in person."

The man pointed at himself, his tone slightly proud: "I, nicknamed Baishitong, have touched the things in most of the people attending the party before you came."

When Qi Xiang heard this, she immediately smiled: "So you are a broker who is a slim."

"What broker?" The man was unhappy: "I am...well, whatever you want, the broker is a broker. Anyway, I can guarantee that I can definitely find what you need for you as soon as possible."

"Everyone is here, why do I need your help?" Qi Xiang said strangely: "I can go and see it one by one, it doesn't take much time."

"Haha, newcomers are newcomers, and they really don't understand the rules."

The man rolled his eyes and said, "The components of the people who came to the party are very complicated. Some people have heard of this and just watched the fun and gained knowledge. Some people are in urgent need of money and come here to sell things..."

"Of course, more people, who are coming here to try their luck with some purpose. Hopefully, at the party, there are what they need. In other words, you don't have what they need on hand, why do they exchange it with you?"

The man snorted: "I have attended many such gatherings. There are very few people who are truly happy and satisfied. Many people would rather bring back the things they bring and wait for the next party than take action."

"Besides, you are a newcomer and they are not familiar with you. If you ask them directly what they need, they may not be willing to tell you."

The man said confidently: "I'm different. If I come forward to talk, people will definitely be willing to give me face. To be honest, if I didn't need this camellia now, I wouldn't bother to put this effort into it. Maybe I would have to owe someone favors."

Qi Xiang could also hear that the man was indeed not lying.

However, he was also a little disappointed. After all, from that person's words, you can know that this gathering was indeed not the gathering of cultivators he imagined. It sounded like a variant of the black market. It was just that the transaction was relatively precious.

The people involved, or the buyers and sellers behind them, should be people like Chen Biexue, Gongzihai, Tian Shi, etc., who are still wandering on the threshold of cultivating truth and seeking Taoism.

While Qi Xiang was thinking, the man said again: "How is it? Have you considered it clearly? If you are willing, just express your opinion. If you are not happy, forget it. This is the territory of Master Zhu Wu. No matter how unwilling I am, I will never dare to act rashly."

Qi Xiang turned her eyes and nodded, "If you can bring what I need, I have no reason to refuse."

"Okay, it's refreshing enough." The man was very happy: "Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

"I want..." Qi Xiang thought for a while and smiled: "Lei Zhu!"

"What?" the man was stunned and said in surprise: "You say it again."

"Thunder bamboo..." Qi Xiang retelled: "Hundreds of years of old bamboo are immortal, and after years of lightning strikes, they have been reborn in the lightning. The old bamboos pluck new branches, and they are transformed into thunder bamboo bit by bit!"

"……Depend on!"

The man jumped up and cursed: "Who is willing to take action with such a treasure? If you want something like this, it's better to just grab it... If you don't want to sell camellias, just say it clearly, why bother me..."

While speaking, the man was indignant and left with his sleeves.

"Isn't it?" Qi Xiang was a little disappointed, and then laughed silently. Why did she worry about this? The White Lotus suffered a great loss and would definitely get back the scene. There was no need to meddle in other people's business.

Qi Xiang shook her head and left the room with camellia in her arms.

He was also very curious about how many precious things were there at this party.

After Qi Xiang walked out of the room and looked around, she also had a more intuitive understanding of the party. Either before the party, some people had already secretly communicated with the music, or had locked in the target in advance, so they completed the transaction early.

The remaining people sat there bored and drank tea bored.

In addition, there are some people who, as if they had never seen the world, are walking around each room and watching other people's things. Needless to say, those people must be the ones who just came to join in the fun just now.

Of course, if you encounter something you are interested in, those people are likely to be tempted to buy it. In other words, they are all potential buyers. It is probably because of this reason that the parties allow these people to exist.

After Qi Xiang analyzed it, he walked into a room next to him with camellia in his arms.

There was a man sitting in the room, and a pot of stuff was placed on the table in front of him. Qi Xiang went in and found that it was a pot of dry plants.

Qi Xiang was surprised and couldn't help looking closely. She saw that all the leaves of the plant had fallen, leaving only the bare branches, without any vitality, which formed a very sharp contrast with the beautiful camellia he was holding.

"It would be too cripple for a dry plant to be put out in a panic way, right?"

Qi Xiang was shocked, and her first reaction was whether this person was a liar and planned to fool newcomers who were not good at it. But when he looked at Dingqing again, he suddenly made some discoveries.

The seemingly dry plant has a bit thick rhizome and a coiled state, vigorous and ancient, as if it has an indescribable aura...

The last day of tomorrow's public period will start to raise alarms. Please support me and please bookmark it.
