However, this Lin Mu was just a boy from a silk shop who was temporarily hired by Xu Hong. He could lead the way, but when asked about the inside story of the four major forces in Hillwood City, it was not clear.
Fortunately, Xu Hong didn't have high hopes.
After a while, Lin Mu led Xu Hong to a huge building.
This building has only two floors, but it is huge and occupies half of the street. Especially on both sides of the gate, there are two lion statues as tall as one person. They are made of gold and are very conspicuous.
Xu Hong paid no attention to the pair of golden lions. His eyes rested on a huge plaque above the door.
This plaque has a dark texture and is intertwined with the texture of ancient wood. It has four large characters written on it: "Chamber of Commerce Alliance!"
Ordinary people didn't think anything about these four words, but when Xu Hong saw it, he immediately felt a powerful true meaning of martial arts from the gesture. At this moment, he seemed to see a martial arts master.
My own understanding of martial arts was reflected in my writing, and I wrote these four earth-shattering characters.
Moreover, there is always a faint trace of true energy in these four characters. It is obvious that a master in the spiritual master realm personally wrote this plaque.
"Since this chamber of commerce alliance was established by the city lord's palace, the person who wrote this plaque should probably be the legendary city lord." Xu Hong thought in his heart. Although he had never met the city lord himself, but through
The true meaning of martial arts contained in these four characters.
"Sir, this is the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. As for the inside, I have never been inside, so..." Lin Mu smiled with a smile on his face and poked his hand.
Seeing this, Xu Hong couldn't help but feel a little funny, and threw out another martial arts pill.
"Thank you so much, sir." Lin Mu took the martial arts pills, his mouth almost split to the base of his ears. Today he was rewarded with two martial arts pills, which is equivalent to two hundred taels of silver. For him, it is simply
Just like dreaming.
Xu Hong ignored Lin Mu. He glanced at the four words on the plaque again and walked into the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
As soon as he walked in, Xu Hong found a row of pretty maids standing on both sides of the room, and each of them had cultivated to the fifth level of a spiritual disciple. When Xu Hong came in, a maid immediately greeted him.
Xu Hong had already thrown out a martial arts pill and said: "I need to buy some special medicinal materials. Which store in this chamber of commerce alliance is the largest and has the most complete medicinal materials? Please take me there to see."
Xu Hong dressed like a young master from an aristocratic family, and his behavior was even more so. He casually threw out martial arts pills to reward him, which only those young masters from big and aristocratic families could do.
"Yes, Young Master." The maid took the martial arts pill, with a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes, and said, "If Young Master wants to buy the pill, please come here."
The maid led the way and explained to Xu Hong.
While listening to the maid's introduction, Xu Hong kept looking at the situation within the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. He found that there were many shops here, and many small and medium-sized families actually opened shops here. However, the types of medicinal materials and elixirs they sold were relatively small, and
Those big aristocratic companies are completely incomparable and can only compete on price.
"Hey, what are you doing there?"
Suddenly, Xu Hong saw that in the central area of the Alliance Chamber of Commerce, there was a wide square, where many people were busy building a stage, and some people were near the stage, in order.
Large purple wood chairs were placed.
"Sir, you don't know?" The maid looked a little suspicious when she heard this, and said: "Sir, didn't you come here because you knew that the auction was going to be held at the Alliance Chamber of Commerce today?"
"Auction? I just arrived today. I really don't know much about the auction. I don't know what good things will appear in this auction."
When Xu Hong heard that there was an auction, he was also interested, because basically merchant alliances hold auctions, and good things usually appear. He happened to have too many martial arts pills on his body. If there are some useful training resources for him,
, he could actually buy it.
"In this auction, it is said that a large customer has entrusted our Chamber of Commerce Alliance to auction several treasures. As for the specific items, I am not sure. If you are interested, I can contact you on your behalf and buy the first bid.
quota." The maid said.
"Oh? If you want to bid in the auction, you need to buy a place first? I don't know how much a place costs?" This is the first time Xu Hong heard that to participate in the auction, you need to buy a place in the bidding first.
But the maid took it for granted and said: "Yes, generally those who have the strength to participate in the auction will not be short of this fee. However, when bidding for things in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, what you pay is not gold and silver, but martial arts pills."
.You can buy one of the places in the square below with only ten Martial Arts Pills, but the VIP seats on the second floor require 100 Martial Arts Pills."
When Xu Hong heard this, his eyes flickered slightly. The cost of purchasing a quota was enough to deter ordinary spiritual beings. Ordinary spiritual beings would not necessarily be willing to buy even an ordinary quota of ten martial arts pills, let alone
There is a VIP quota of one hundred martial arts pills.
This approach of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance may be to eliminate those who cannot afford the price and want to watch the excitement.
"We'll talk about the auction later. Take me to the store first." Xu Hong said calmly.
Xu Hong had his own plan. If there was no delay, it was better to find auxiliary medicinal materials to help his body integrate with the origin of life. Now cultivation is the first priority. As for the auction, although he was interested in seeing it, he was not in a hurry.
"Yes." The maid nodded after hearing this and said no more. She also knew the rules and knew that she only needed to follow the guest's instructions.
The two walked for a while, and the maid took Xu Hong to an area with the best terrain and the most popular areas.
In this area, there are a total of three shops, which are several times larger than the other shops. They are shops of three major families, and each shop has the brand of its respective family.
Xu Hong looked at the Lin family's shop with some guilt, and found that the business in the Lin family's shop was very cold, and there were many signs on the shelves saying that they were out of stock. This was not true for a shop opened by a big family like the Lin family.
It's simply unimaginable.
It seems that the death of the ancestor of the Lin family has really dealt a huge blow to the Lin family. More importantly, the seven large boxes of martial arts pills in the Lin family were all obtained by Xu Hong. This may have caused difficulties in the Lin family's capital turnover.
"Sir, this shop has the most complete collection of various cultivation elixirs in the entire chamber of commerce." At this time, the maid said to Xu Hong.
"oh!"
Xu Hong came to his senses and walked into the shop. An old man in his sixties walked out of it.
This old man seems to be the shopkeeper of this shop. Although he is a bit old and looks decrepit, his body is filled with a powerful energy, and his flesh and blood are filled with surging power. He is a
A spiritual disciple of the eighth level.
"Only the three major aristocratic families can arrange for an eighth-level spiritual disciple to take charge of shop matters in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance." Xu Hong marveled in his heart.
"Young master, may I ask what you call me? I wonder what medicinal materials you want to buy?" The old man in the Xu family shop originally looked indifferent, but when he glanced at Xu Hong, he realized that he couldn't see it.
When Xu Hong's depth was penetrated, his expression couldn't help but change a little, and his tone was a little uncertain.
Because if you want him to not be able to tell the difference, you have only two possibilities. One is that the opponent is not proficient in martial arts at all, so naturally there will be no energy and blood fluctuations. The other possibility is that the opponent's cultivation level is higher than yours.
.
Although Xu Hong looks very young, the possibility of being taller than him is very small. But it is not impossible.
