Volume 1 Chapter 746 Undercurrent Surge
There were two people sitting in Box 3 on the third floor, a man and a woman, an old man and a young man. These two people were Xiao Lan and the white-haired old man from before, and they seemed to be discussing something.
"Elder Feng, what do you think of the guy we met at the door?" Xiao Lan sat opposite the white-haired old man and said coldly.
"He doesn't look good, his cultivation is average, there's nothing special about him." The white-haired old man said indifferently, his tone old and powerful.
"Then do you know who asked me to help him today?" Xiao Lan continued to ask.
"Yan Clan?" The white-haired old man asked.
Xiao Lan shook her head.
"Could it be the Jia Clan?" The white-haired old man continued to ask.
Qin Yun shook his head again and said, "It's the Immortal Phoenix Pavilion's Water Narcissus."
"Qiushui? Is that the maidservant Shuixian next to the Pavilion Master of the Immortal Phoenix The white-haired old man asked in surprise.
Xiao Lan nodded.
"That young miss is still so cold to that fellow. She should seize this opportunity to rope him in." The white-haired old man hurriedly said.
"No problem. I have already probed that Water Narcissus. This matter has nothing to do with the Immortal Phoenix Pavilion. It is all a personal matter of the Water Narcissus. That fellow saved her life in the mortal world. Now that he gave her the card, it is a reward. Furthermore, the Water Narcissus seems to be afraid that this fellow will make more requests to save her life. That is why she did not personally appear." Xiao Lan explained with a faint smile on her face.
The white-haired old man heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Since it had nothing to do with the Immortal Phoenix Pavilion, there was naturally no need to rope them in. Giving them a VIP card was completely irrelevant to their Xiao Clan, but this was enough to obtain a favor from Shui Xian. This was already considered a great harvest for their Xiao Clan.
"Narcissus has already bought me a favor." Xiao Lan almost said.
The white-haired old man revealed a surprised expression.
"Narcissus said that she would give up on the final item." Xiao Lan said.
"That's great. I originally thought that with the Immortal Phoenix Pavilion here, it would be very difficult for us to obtain the final items. Now that the Water Narcissus has actually given up, our chances of obtaining the final items will instantly increase." The white-haired old man said excitedly.
Xiao Lan smiled. A VIP card for the Immortal Phoenix Pavilion gave up the chance to snatch the final item. This was simply a huge profit.
"But this Water Narcissus just gave up on the final item. Wouldn't her Pavilion Master blame her?" The white-haired old man raised his doubts.
Xiao Lan smiled and said, "I was puzzled at first. Even if the Water Narcissus wanted to return my favor, there was no need to use this matter as a condition. However, the following words of the Water Narcissus completely dispelled my doubts."
"What do you mean?" The white-haired old man hurriedly asked.
"She said that her pavilion master didn't come here for the final item, but for another matter, so whether she could take the final item or not wouldn't have much of an impact on her." Xiao Lan continued to explain.
"Oh? Did she say anything?" The white-haired old man revealed a surprised expression.
Xiao Lan shook her head and said, "She didn't say anything. However, since she has already agreed not to participate in the final item snatch, then she has no effect on the purpose of our trip. Right now, all we need to do is keep an eye on the Jia Clan, Old Ghost Murong and the others. They are the real competitors we have to face."
The white-haired old man nodded and praised, "Young miss is really getting more and more capable. Everything has been considered very thoughtfully. I believe that under the leadership of young miss, the Xiao family will surely prosper."
"Elder Feng is flattering me. Right now, it's up to us to see if we can get this final item." Xiao Lan said with a smile.
The white-haired old man nodded.
In a room next to Xiao Lan and the white-haired old man, there was a young man sitting in his embrace. In his embrace, there were two women with high-grade figures and appearances. They were feeding him wine while laughing. The young man's hands were also moving extremely disobediently on the two women's bodies.
Behind the youth stood a middle-aged man dressed in black armor. His expression was cold and his body emitted an intense killing aura. He stood behind the youth silently and was indifferent to the scene of the Wind Moon in front of him.
"Have you investigated it clearly?" The young man said coldly to the black-armored man as he drank the wine fed by the woman in his arms.
"I've investigated it clearly. The person who came into contact with Miss Xiao just now doesn't have any background. He is now in private room 28 downstairs." The black-armored man said solemnly.
"Hmph, I told you that this guy isn't an important character at first glance. It's obvious that Xiao Lan deliberately set up a fog array for us to divert our attention." The young man sneered, his finger fiercely pinching the woman's thigh beside him, causing a burst of pampering.
"Alright, you can go down first. There's no need to pay attention to that guy. You just need to help me keep an eye on the Xiao Clan and the Immortal Phoenix Pavilion. The other Jia Clan isn't too threatening, and Old Ghost Murong also needs to keep an eye on him. After all, this guy is an alchemist. The last thing he needs is immortal jade." The young man instructed.
"Yes!" The black-armored man hurriedly replied. After he finished speaking, he directly walked out of the box. As soon as the black-armored man walked out of the box, a live spring palace was staged in the box.
At this moment, the grey-haired old man was sitting cross-legged in private room number six.
That's right, this person is the old ghost Murong that Xiao Lan and the young man from the Jia Clan spoke of.
Murong Jincheng, nicknamed Old Ghost Murong, was a Tier 4 alchemist from the Yan, Xiao, and Jia Clans. He was able to refine Tier 4 Immortal Pills. This time, the Soul Returning Pills in the auction hall were made by this person.
The three great powers had always wanted to rope in this old fellow, but this old fellow had never accepted the rope-in of any of them. With his powerful pill refining techniques, he was able to rise to prominence amongst the three great powers.
Everyone in the three great powers knew that Old Ghost Murong's wealth was not under the influence of the three great powers. It was not that no one was paying attention to him, but that the people who were after him were all dead because he was an old fox. Otherwise, how could he be called Old Ghost Murong?
"Hmph, the Yan Clan is smart. They know that their own forces can't protect this item, so they decided to take it out for auction to avoid being stolen or robbed. Fortunately, the Xiao Clan and the Jia Clan still want to buy this item. I really don't know what they think. This is truly a great mockery." Old Ghost Murong muttered to himself with a cold smile. His tone was filled with cunning and treachery.
"This room number one is occupied by people from the Immortal Phoenix Pavilion. Then who is this room number two?" Old Ghost Murong turned his head to look in the direction of Box 2, his eyes revealing a trace of confusion.
Time slowly passed. Soon, it was time for the auction to officially begin.
