As time went by, there were more and more people at the auction site.
It was originally quiet, but now it is a little noisy.
When there are too many people, it is easy to have various things, such as... conflicts.
In a short period of time, there have been several waves of conflicts, and some people have even used weapons.
But soon, the conflict was suppressed.
The rules of the Longteng Auction are not to use weapons.
What's more, there are still many law enforcement officers at the scene today.
They can't just watch and make too much trouble.
"There is no dark energy... It seems that the weakest is in the middle and late stages of energy transformation."
In the private room on the second floor, Xiao Chen released his spiritual consciousness, perceiving everything downstairs.
In order to prevent being discovered, his spiritual consciousness is very weak, as long as it makes him feel intimidated, he will immediately move away.
"Zhao Cangqiong and other superpowers didn't come... No..."
Xiao Chen's spiritual consciousness extended outwards, and suddenly he felt a vague coercion, permeating from a distance.
It was very weak, if he hadn't practiced the 'Chaos Art' and his soul power was far beyond the realm, he would not have been able to find it.
"There are superpowers, but they are hiding in the dark... Yes, since they suspect the Holy Heaven Church, they must be worried that the Holy Heaven Church will come to the auction to cause trouble, and it is impossible not to prepare."
Xiao Chen made a guess, and secretly laughed, is this just to scare himself?
In order to prevent being discovered, he stopped investigating and withdrew his consciousness.
"That young man in white robe seems to be quite strong."
Zhao Yuanji looked down, with fighting intent in his eyes.
"Wait to ask where it came from, let's learn from each other."
"You should not be his opponent."
Zhao Ritian shook his head.
"Go away the 'should'."
Xiao Chen looked at Zhao Yuanji and added something.
"..."
Zhao Yuanji was speechless, so sure?
"A strong man is coming."
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's eyes fell on one place.
Everyone stopped talking and looked at it one after another. If Xiao Chen can say that he is a 'strong man', then he must be very strong.
I saw a few people appearing on the auction platform below.
The leader is slender and looks quite elegant.
"Who is he?"
Xiao Chen noticed that Guanshi Chen was standing behind him.
"Li Xiunian, the person in charge of the Longteng Chamber of Commerce here..."
Zhao Yuanji introduced.
"I heard that he is leaving Sifang City. The next step is to enter the core position of the Longteng Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh? In other words, one of the bosses of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce?"
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed.
"It is."
Zhao Yuanji nodded.
"Brother Chen, let's... let's keep a low profile."
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen, for fear that he would go up and rob Li Xiunian.
"I've always kept a low profile."
Xiao Chen glanced at Wang Pingbei and knew what he meant.
On the contrary, Zhao Ritian and the others are a little strange, what's going on?
low key?
Could it be that Xiao Chen knew Li Xiunian?
It shouldn't be.
Or does Xiao Chen know a certain boss from the Longteng Chamber of Commerce, who is much more powerful than Li Xiunian?
Standing on the auction stage, Li Xiunian naturally saw Xiao Chen and others on the second floor.
Chen Guanshi had already told him, and he knew everything about the situation.
For people with mysterious and powerful backgrounds, he has always treated them with the intention of 'befriending them'.
If you can't be slick, how can you be in a high position?
Especially in a place like the chamber of commerce.
Li Xiunian smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhao Yuanji and... Zhao Ritian.
This young man is Zhao Cangqiong's younger brother?
Xiao Chen nodded in response, his first impression of Li Xiunian was not bad... In the world of his mother, he is a handsome middle-aged uncle.
Men may be indifferent, but girls...all like this.
Handsome and not greasy, and most importantly... rich.
And Li Xiunian is not only handsome and rich, but also powerful.
With the appearance of Li Xiunian, the originally noisy scene gradually quieted down.
All eyes fell on Li Xiunian.
Some people know him, some don't, but even if he doesn't know him, he can feel his status and strength.
"Welcome everyone to the Dragon Auction..."
Li Xiunian smiled and said a few polite words.
"I think everyone has been looking forward to today's auction for a long time... I am the same."
A few minutes later, Li Xiunian walked off the auction stage with Chen Guanshi and others.
An old man appeared on the auction stage.
He is the auctioneer, and he is in charge of today's auction.
What Xiao Chen didn't expect was that after Li Xiunian stepped off the auction stage, he walked towards the second floor.
The people on the first floor were also a little surprised, and even more curious about Xiao Chen's identity.
"Gongsun, this guy doesn't really have a lot of background, does he? Otherwise, how could Li Xiunian go up there?"
There are big and small whispers.
Li Xiunian is definitely one of the big shots in Sifang City.
Such big men, even they, not to mention respectful, have to be polite.
Gongsun Liang's face was gloomy: "What is the origin? No matter how great the origin is, can it be as big as the Mountain and Sea Tower?"
"Liang Shao is right."
The dog legs immediately flattered.
"Young Master Liang takes care of people and never looks at the other party's background... No matter how great the background is, it's not as good as Young Master Liang."
"..."
This flattery, the elders and the younger ones couldn't stand it anymore.
What are you bragging about?
Is it true that Gongsun Liang is the young owner of Shanhailou?
However, they murmured in their hearts, but they dared not show it on their faces.
"President Li."
Zhao Yuanji was also a little surprised by Li Xiunian's approach.
Logically speaking, Li Xiunian would come up to greet someone like his grandfather himself.
Now... he is here, and Li Xiunian is also coming up?
Isn't this too embarrassing?
Could it be that I, Xiaoji, is also a character?
For a moment, Zhao Yuanji was a little bit in a trance.
"Ok."
Li Xiunian nodded with a smile.
"I just came back from the City Lord's Mansion..."
"Huh? Oh, my grandpa and the others didn't come this morning?"
Zhao Yuanji hurriedly asked.
"Shouldn't be coming."
After Li Xiunian finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Ritian.
"I heard City Master Zhao mention it before, and I finally got to see you today."
"Hehe, my third brother definitely didn't say anything nice about me."
Zhao Ritian smiled and was quite polite.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Xiunian's eyes fell on Xiao Chen.
"Young Master Chen, welcome to Sifang City..."
"Meet President Li."
Xiao Chen cupped his hands.
"Hehe, Young Master Chen is being polite... Although I have never heard of the Three Realms Mountain, it must be extraordinary to be able to cultivate such a talent as Young Master Chen."
Li Xiunian had no airs, chatting with Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was smiling, neither humble nor overbearing, and calmly dealt with it.
"Didn't you come up for me?"
Seeing Li Xiunian chatting happily with Xiao Chen, Zhao Ritian and Zhao Yuanji both had this thought in their hearts.
"I still have a lot of things to do, so I'll get busy first, and we'll talk after the auction is over."
A few minutes later, Li Xiunian smiled.
"it is good."
Xiao Chen nodded and watched Li Xiunian leave.
Chen Guanshi was also smiling, and after gesturing to Xiao Chen, he followed Li Xiunian downstairs.
Xiao Chen was thoughtful, the reason why Li Xiunian came up, Chen Guanshi should have played a big role.
"Brother Chen, could it be... what did he suspect?"
Wang Pingbei leaned close to Xiao Chen's ear, worried.
He really couldn't figure out why Li Xiunian would come up.
Just because they are in the herringbone room?
Totally impossible.
Tianzihao and Dizihao may still be possible.
With a herringbone name, Guanshi Chen has a quota, so Li Xiunian won't pay too much attention to it.
"No, there are a lot of young and strong people at the scene, it is impossible to just stare at us..."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Don't think too much, it's all done by Shengtian."
"Ah? Yes, they are all made by the Holy Heaven Sect."
When Wang Pingbei thought about it, he immediately became calmer.
"Brother Chen, do you have any items you want?"
Zhao Ritian asked casually.
"Hehe, I'm not sure yet, just to join in the fun."
Xiao Chen smiled and took a sip of tea.
"I hope there is something that interests me... Sigh, sometimes it's too difficult to get the materials for the refining device."
Zhao Ritian sighed.
"Alchemist, it's hard to mix."
"..."
Zhao Yuanji looked at Zhao Ritian, are you pretending to be aggressive?
Who doesn't know that the status of a craftsman is very high?
But thinking about it again, those useless things that Zhao Ritian refined, I feel... You are not difficult to mess with, and you shouldn't be.
While they were talking, the auction started.
The scene fell silent, and almost everyone was staring at the auction table.
The first lot won't be too expensive, but it won't be too cheap either.
"Go to the first lot."
The old man on the auction stage didn't talk too much nonsense, and after a few simple sentences, someone lifted the first lot up.
It is not a small stone, at least two or three hundred catties.
The stone is white and quite round.
"What the hell is this?"
"Lingshi? Impossible."
"It should be some special stone."
"..."
When everyone discussed it, most of them didn't know each other.
"Antarctic Jade."
On the second floor, Zhao Ritian's eyes lit up.
"Antarctic Jade? What?"
Xiao Chen and the others asked curiously.
Without waiting for Zhao Ritian to explain, he listened to the old man's introduction.
"This stone is called Antarctic jade. It is produced in the extreme south. It is cold and does not hurt people. The most amazing thing is that it is warm in winter..."
"Warm in winter and cool in summer?"
Xiao Chen understood.
"Well, Antarctic jade is warm in winter and cool in summer."
Zhao Ritian nodded.
"I didn't expect that the Longteng Chamber of Commerce actually has Antarctic Jade..."
"Brother Zhao, are you interested?"
Seeing this, Xiao Chen asked.
"Yes, I want to take it."
Zhao Ritian grinned.
"Didn't my chair blow up? I'm going to use Antarctic jade to refine another one... Think about it, it's warm in winter and cool in summer."
"..."
Xiao Chen was speechless, Nima's, used to refine toilets?
But don't say it, it's really suitable for warm in winter and cool in summer, without freezing your buttocks!
"The starting price is three hundred spirit stones."
The old man has already said the starting price.
"Each price increase must not be less than fifty spirit stones."
"Three hundred and five."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, someone made an offer.
"Four hundred."
"Four hundred and five."
"five hundred."
In the blink of an eye, the price of Antarctic Jade reached 500, which can be regarded as a 'good start'.
"Brother Zhao, why don't you make an offer?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Don't you want to?"
"No hurry, let them report first."
Zhao Ritian shook his head.
"Seven hundred, is there a higher one?"
Soon, the price reached seven hundred, the old man asked.
There was silence at the scene, and no one made any more bids.
Just when the person who offered seven hundred was smiling, Zhao Ritian spoke lightly.
"one thousand!"
