Chapter 615 – East Pavilion City Auction House
After An Zheng let Qi Shaofeng leave, he used the Broken Army Sword to cut off the hard skins on the outside of the two Dragon Lion s. If this was an auction house, the price of this piece of leather would have been astronomical.
After An Zheng was done, he glanced at Zhou Da Peng who was standing far away in fear, laughed and said: “You, this person, is truly interesting. You obviously don’t have much guts, but you refused to go down.”
When Zhou Da Peng saw An Zheng speaking to him, he became nervous. In front of him warue grand cultivator, a terrifying existence that was capable of slaying two ancient divine beast, Dragon Lion. Originally, when he first met An Zheng, he looked down on him and thought that An Zheng was only a scammer who swindled others for their food. But now, he even had the impulse to kneel down.
“You don’t seem to be having a happy life here. How about this, you go and chase after Wei Shao Feng, the two of you go to Xiushui City’s An Ping Inn to look for Ye Yu.”
Zhou Dapeng quickly nodded, “Thank you, thank you …”
An Zheng saw that he was still not leaving, and asked: “Is there anything else?”
Zhou Dapeng said in embarrassment, “I don’t have the money …”
An Zheng laughed out loud, took out a banknote for five thousand silvers and handed it over. “From here to Xiushui City, the cost of food and clothing must not exceed two hundred silvers. I’ll give you five thousand silver and keep it for you in the future. ”
Zhou Da Peng was stunned. With trembling hands, he accepted the banknotes. “All of you?”
“Qi Shao Feng is a cultivator, he doesn’t lack money, you can keep this.”
After An Zheng finished speaking, he put away all the cut off Dragon Lion leather armor and left the mountain.
“Master!”
Zhou Da Peng gazed at An Zheng’s back and muttered to himself: “This is what a master is like.”
After An Zheng left the mountain, those who were still waiting at the bottom of the mountain already received the news from Qi Shao Feng. When they saw An Zheng coming down, they all surrounded him and praised him repeatedly. An Zheng searched the crowd and discovered Da Da Ye was capturing grasshoppers on the grass in the distance. He thought to himself, this heartless guy, after exchanging a few words with everyone, he went over to find her.
During dinner, the county magistrate took oued spirit stone and said, “This is the highest reward that this county can offer. I know that it would still be a disgrace to your identity as our revered leader, so I hope that you do not mind. You must accept it.”
An Zheng said seriously: “Saving people’s lives, is the duty of the cultivators. If it’s my subordinate your spirit stones, it would seem to have come for money. ”
The magistrate was perplexed, “This …”
An Zheng said: “It’s not like I want to make things difficult for the county magistrate, so I’ll just reluctantly accept it.”
The County Magistrate was stunned for a moment. He thought to himself, “Senior, you’re not playing according to common sense.”
An Zheng handed the Red Rank Spirit Stones to Da Da Ye. “Your subordinates, I’ll change the change later to buy you some snacks to eat.”
Da Da Ye unwillingly kept it. “I want the copper coins …”
Everyone in the room staggered as they thought to themselves, “This Elder and disciple are indeed of extraordinary quality …”
After stopping at the White Stone County city for a while, An Zheng and Da Da Ye then continued on their journey. There was still a few thousand miles to go to Jinling, so he could not delay any longer. After leaving White Stone County, he followed the official road and walked forward. Dada Ye strung the grasshopper he had caught with a string and passed it to An Zheng: “This is for you, necklace.”
An Zheng: “Childish …”
Dada Ye: “If you don’t like it, then forget it. I’ll roast it and eat it later.”
An Zheng: “...”
After a day of traveling from White Stone County to the southeast, they arrived at East Pavilion City. It was different from White Stone County. East Pavilion City was a big city worthy of its name. Its scale was far above Xiushui City. This place was already in the southern part of the Great Xixi River. The scenery was mainly beautiful, and there was less of the harsh north.
After entering East Pavilion City, An Zheng brought Da Ta Ye to the biggest and most luxurious inn in East Pavilion City as usual, then reserved the biggest suite. Because An Zheng and the other two were dressed like Daoists, they did not dare to disturb the messy service in the inn.
Dada Ye: “Look at why you’re so unhappy.”
An Zheng, “It’s much less fun to come out with you …”
After eating, the two of them changed into clean Daoist robes and left the inn. Da Da Ye curiously followed behind An Zheng and asked: “Master, where are we going?”
An Zheng replied: “Go earn money. If you continue to eat like this all the way, sooner or later, I’ll go bankrupt. “If I don’t earn some money, how can I afford to support you?”
Dada Ye said, “I clearly only ate a little. I’m a girl, so a little food is enough to fill me up.”
An Zheng: “Swear to the heavens.”
Da Da Ye raised his head to look at the sky and shook his head. “Don’t think that I don’t know. You can use thunder and lightning. If you pretend that the heavens are on me, then you won’t buy me good food from now on.”
An Zheng: “...”
The two of them found a medium-sized auction house on the street and casually exchanged the red rank spirit stones they had earned from Baishi County for several tens of thousands of silver taels. Of course, for An Zheng, even if it were ten thousand da-da-da-da-da-da-ye, it wouldn’t be inferior to him. As for the reason why the red spirit stone was so anxious to help, it was because An Zheng did not see it with his eyes.
An Zheng passed over the tens of thousands of silver to Da Da Ye: “Keep it yourselves.”
Dada Ye: “I want copper coins …”
An Zheng thought to himself, it’s truly a sin, I raised this child to be an idiot.
After having lunch in a restaurant that looked very big, the two of them strolled around the streets and bought a big bag of dried fruits for Dada Ye. He asked around to find out what the biggest auction house in the city was, then headed over there.
The city lord of Dongting City, Ning Hao. The Great Xixi Ning Family was a first class family. As for the Ning Family, they were first established as an auction house. Therefore, the biggest auction house in the city had no other choice but to be the Ning Family’s auction house.
After An Zheng walked in, the waiter saw that An Zheng was a new face, but he had an imposing and extraordinary bearing, and did not dare to slight him. After finding a relatively quiet place in the hall, An Zheng raised his head and looked at the rooms on the second floor and asked: “Are there still seats up there?”
The waiter said awkwardly, “There are only about a dozen rooms up there. They have all been reserved.”
An Zheng was very familiar with the business of auctions, of course he knew that it was impossible that dozens of chartered rooms had been reserved. Unless he was sure that the person in the room wasn’t coming, he wouldn’t dare to casually use it to receive someone else.
An Zheng was also not willing to be too flamboyant, after all, he was still in the arena, so he sat down in the designated spot. Not long after, the serving maid came up and set down four plates of fresh fruits, wine and tea. He paid a deposit of ten thousand taels when he entered the door, so it was only reasonable for him to have this kind of service.
When Ta Ta Ta saw that there were also dried fruits on the food, he looked at his own bag and then took back his dried fruits in a petty manner, eating the fruits given by the auction house. An Zheng kept staring at the stage, after a while, he turned his head to look at Da Da Da Ye, only to realize that there was a small pile of dried fruit shells on the table.
It didn’t take long before the auctioneer came on stage. He looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked like he was in good shape. His face was pale and his cheeks were rosy.
“Thank you for coming.”
The middle-aged man first clasped his hands, then said, “Old customers all know my name, but there are still new customers who do not know. This lowly one would rather submit, rather die than submit. However, this name isn’t good. When my father told me that I would rather die than submit, he said that my name was taken from it and it had the same meaning. I believed all of it. “When I thought about it later, I should call it ‘Ning Unyielding’ …”
The people below laughed, An Zheng thought that this person would definitely liven up the atmosphere.
Ning Qu continued, “In our Ning Family Auction House, there is always a large-scale auction on the fifteenth day of every month. Today just happened to be the eighth … There was no helping it, the boss was stubborn and said that the weather wasn’t bad today, so he added … “Although it was added on a temporary basis, I can guarantee that the quality and quality of the items sold will definitely not be lower than the ones sold in the first fifteen or fifteen auctions.”
There was another round of laughter.
Ning Qu seemed to be satisfied with his warm-up skills. He politely said, “Let’s not waste time. According to our usual practice, the dishes we serve are appetizers.”
“The first item to be auctioned is called ‘Hundred Wealth’.”
Afteause, Ning Qu waited for the items to be laid out. “Yes, you all misheard me every day. It’s just some jade-green cabbage that might even be placed in a random shop. The item really wasn’t anything special, but the quality of the jade was pretty good. The reason why it was laid out was to give everyone a prize, which was also a small gift from the owner. “We’ll start the auction at one silver tael. There’s no other rule, just one. I’ll tell you in advance, whoever raises the price first will get it. No need to raise the price!”
“Open …”
He had just spoken the word “open”, but before he could finish his sentence, the people below had already raised their tags. Actually, everyone present was rich and powerful, and they were all cultivators. Who would care about a worthless piece of jadeite cabbage? This thing was indeed just a good allegory. There was no other use to it. But it was fun. Besides, everyone had their own little thoughts of not taking advantage of the situation.
“Logically speaking, it was this old man who first raised the signboard.”
Ning Qu said with a bit of grievance, “But Master, we made a deal, I only raised the card when I said it was starting. You open your mouth to pick up the sign, leaving the shit in my mouth … That’s not righteous. ”
There was another round of laughter.
Ning Qu smiled and said, “But since we have spoken, this thing belongs to him. 1 tael of silver for 100 gold, may your career rise and your wealth rise! ”
The maidservant brought the jadeite cabbage over, and there was a burst of applause.
When An Zheng saw this scene, he made a decision. He was going to dig this guy out and send him to the Xiushui City’s An Ping Inn. If he went back to his auction house, he would definitely need this kind of talent.
“Alright.”
Ning Qu smiled and said, “Let’s just talk nonsense and eat the appetizers. Don’t blame me for not being able to eat them, let’s just blame that one …” The next course of dishes will be the main course, and I guarantee that I will not disappoint you. ”
He walked to the back of the booth covered in red cloth and stopped at the first booth. He reached out and pulled down the red cloth.
“Beautiful Night Banquet!”
As he tore off the red cloth, he said loudly, “It’s a bit too much to say that it’s priceless, but it depends on whether or not we are people of this path.”
On the jade pot, many beautiful women were drawn …
Da Da Ye raised his head to take a look. Then, his face turned red and he lowered his head as he muttered. “Stinking hooligan …”
An Zheng nodded his head: “That’s right, this kind of thing cannot be spread around to poison others. Let’s buy it and bring it back for criticism!”
