The journey was relatively peaceful. After landing smoothly, Li Donglai became less conspicuous in the crowd. Under the guidance of the servants of the City Lord's Mansion, the Li family members followed to the venue.
The treasure appraisal meeting at the City Lord's Mansion is naturally very different from the ordinary feast.
The entire venue was magnificently decorated, and there was an endless stream of people coming to Akagi from all over the place. The enthusiastic crowds made the entire venue very noisy. However, this kind of popularity and atmosphere is still just an outside venue. The real inside venue is even more than this outside venue.
Ten times more luxurious, ten times more lively!
"The Treasure Appraisal Conference in the City Lord's Mansion is the most lively event in Chicheng every six years. Countless rare treasures will be born, as well as countless panaceas, top-quality spiritual weapons, equipment, and techniques will be auctioned and exchanged. In a lifetime,
If you can participate in such a grand event, your life will be in vain!" A young nobleman from a rich family said with excitement on his face.
"Yes." Another young man from aristocratic family beside him exclaimed as he looked around: "It is really worthwhile to be lucky enough to participate in such a grand event!"
Those who can come to participate in the Treasure Appraisal Conference this time are all from outstanding family backgrounds. They can be said to be the most outstanding group of nobles and family elites within a thousand miles of Akagi. However, even among the elites, not everyone has it.
To be eligible to participate, only the most important top figures in the family can qualify.
This gives the Treasure Appraisal Conference another layer of meaning.
——Affirmation of identity and status.
Those who can come to the Treasure Appraisal Conference must be the elite among the elites, the richest among the rich, and the most important among the important people.
All the wealthy families in Chicheng regard it as the greatest honor to participate in the Treasure Appraisal Conference, and those who cannot come are extremely resentful and wish they could take the place of the most important members of the family and see with their own eyes what the Treasure Appraisal Conference is like.
At this moment, these family elites and powerful figures were all shocked by the luxurious decoration of the venue, and were filled with great anticipation for the upcoming treasure appraisal conference!
…
Li Donglai and his party followed the head of the family, Li Qiankun, and the others, admiring the layout of the venue and the various exotic flowers and plants.
There are double lotuses from the South China Sea, golden jade and black bone flowers from the far west, holy lotuses from the snowy mountains of the desert, and the legendary sun and dark flowers that can only be seen on the ghost seaside.
All kinds of exotic plants and exotic objects surprised Li Donglai, and at the same time he was also very excited.
There are only a few months before the Rebellion of the Ancestors, and the family competition is also close at hand. In addition, there are invisible enemies such as major families and Argus Trading Company peeking from the side. Under such circumstances, Li Donglai naturally cannot waste time.
Spend time doing meaningless things.
The reason why I took the time to come to the Treasure Appraisal Conference during the crazy improvement of my strength was that in addition to increasing my knowledge and eyesight, the most important purpose was to stock up on materials and look for various alchemy objects.
Cultivation can never be separated from the pharmacist's elixir. Whether it is the blood coagulation perfection that Li Donglai is about to hit, or helping Xilai and his father Li Gong, Duoduo and the others to improve their strength, they all need a lot of medicinal materials to refine spiritual energy into the elixir.
Help stabilize the body's Qi, cultivate Qi and blood, remove hidden wounds, and tap potential; or you can find spiritual treasures, rare magic weapons and equipment to enrich your own strength.
And this treasure appraisal conference is the best opportunity to find these.
In the last life, Li Donglai, as a waste of the family, had no chance to participate in such a high-level treasure appraisal meeting. Only after seeing it with his own eyes in this life can he understand why the various houses in the family in the previous life would fight for that small invitation.
Not open to trade.
Not to mention that participating in the treasure appraisal conference may find elixirs that enhance strength, spiritual weapons, weapons and equipment that increase strength; nor does it mention the symbolic significance of identity and status. Just the various plants and flowers seen along the way have already
It's eye-opening and breathtaking.
There were several times when Li Donglai really wanted to stop and pick up the exotic flowers and herbs he was interested in. Double-floating ladle, golden plant grass, holy lotus, thunder cow flower, chicken blood stone, pearl lotus, floating cloud flower shell...
…
Everything here is a rare thing. If it were in his hands, it could turn into the most powerful poison and refine into the most powerful elixir in the blink of an eye. It would make people's eyes turn red.
Li Donglai kept thinking in his mind about how he could get these things into his pocket without attracting attention. But after thinking about it, there were so many people around that it was hard to do anything at the moment, so he could only hold back for the time being.
Shaking his head helplessly, Li Donglai quickly thought: the flowers arranged along the road were so amazing, and what kind of terrifying power the City Lord's Mansion, responsible for initiating and arranging such a grand event, must have!
There are many things here that are not just about money, but really require power, status, enough connections, and opportunities to get them.
There is an old saying that people in public schools like to practice, and there is indeed some truth to it.
As the city lord force within the Yingzhou Dynasty, the city lord is equivalent to the earth emperor within hundreds of miles of Chicheng. With such a strong foundation and resources, if you want to practice, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
Just when Li Donglai was thinking about something, Duoduo, who was following him, suddenly pulled his clothes slightly, causing him to pause slightly. He turned around and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with Duoduo?"
"Master, look, that..."
Li Donglai followed Duoduo's fingers and suddenly saw a familiar blue flower, small and swaying in the breeze. Seeing it, Li Donglai couldn't help but be startled.
Phoenix flower?
Unexpectedly, on the way to the treasure appraisal conference, I can actually see the Phoenix flower. I originally thought that this rare strain could only be found in my own herb garden, but I didn't expect that the City Lord's Mansion actually collected it this time.
Li Donglai didn't think much about it. The city lord's mansion had very good hands and eyes, so it was not surprising that he got this Phoenix Luan flower.
When he was about to leave, he looked up and found his father, Li Gong, looking at Fengluan Flower in a daze. There was a bitter and sad look on Li Gong's mature face of a middle-aged man.
"Father, what's wrong with you?" Li Donglai was shocked. In his impression, his father was a very self-disciplined and steady man, and he would never show a rude expression in such an environment.
"It's okay." Li Gong shook his head and said as if he didn't want to say more, "Let's go, don't get separated from the family master and the others."
"It's father."
Li Donglai responded, turned his head, and met Xilai's bright and sharp eyes, and a deep suspicion flashed in his eyes.
——Father, what are you hiding?
…
From the outside, the central venue of the Treasure Appraisal Conference looks like a blooming golden lotus. The extended venue buildings are waving outwards in layers, like countless petals.
Following the guide from the City Lord's Mansion into the venue of the Treasure Appraisal Conference, a heat wave-like breath hit my face.
This is not the heat of the air, but the "popularity". Anyone who has ever attended a temple fair or a market will have an experience. When the number of people reaches a certain level, both their breathing and their voices will converge into a "popularity".
A fiery atmosphere.
Now, the entire venue of the Treasure Appraisal Conference exudes such an atmosphere.
