Chapter 244 - Jiuyan Sky-burn Skill (1/2)
As the largest trading bank in Zhongzhou, Myriad Immortals Pavilion had three major halls. The major one was the auction house, the second was the free-trading hall, which was for people to sell things at some stalls or trade items. The third was the consignment hall. The seller set the price and gave the items to the Myriad Immortals Pavilion to sell.
There were three floors in the consignment hall. The price of the goods on the first floor was from one thousand to ten thousand stones. On the second floor, the price was no higher than one hundred thousand stones. On the third floor, the price was topless. As long as you pay enough fees, you could sell things at ten million stones.
Being led by the maid, Xiao Chen came directly to the second floor. There were many people who are carefully selecting goods that suited them with the waiters. Many people want to see if they could find a good treasure at a low price.
After passing a corner, Xiao Chen heard the sound of arguments. He looked over and found an old man with disheveled hair and a dirty face quarreling with a young waiter of Myriad Immortals Pavilion.
The young waiter’s face was full of bitter smiles. “Old gentleman, this is the eighth time you have gone to the wrong place. This is the consignment hall. If you are looking for someone to trade in person, please go to the free-trading hall, okay?”
The old man narrowed his eyes and said seriously, “Young man! You know nothing. I’m looking for the right person. Those ordinary folks are far below my standard.”
The waiter smiled bitterly again. “Old gentleman, I should take you to the free-trading hall. People really can’t trade directly here.”
It’s said that the Myriad Immortals Pavilion was supported by several ancient families. Their strength was unfathomable. Was this old man looking for troubles? Xiao Chen felt it a little bit interesting and walked over.
The old man saw him approaching and narrowed his eyes. He then walked around Xiao Chen several times.
“Oh, yeah! It’s incredible! Young people, I see your bones and body are incredible. You are the one in the ten thousand. The Annihilation Times is coming, and the peace of the world is on you. I have the Jiuyan Sky-burn Skill…”
At this time, many other buyers on the second floor were also attracted here. Murong Xian’er gently pulled his sleeve and whispered in his ear, “Brother Xiao Chen, this old uncle is a liar at first glance. Let’s go and ignore him…”
Before she could finish, the old man suddenly came over and said seriously, “Little girl! Although you are not a mortal, you can’t talk nonsense…”
Murong Xian’er was scared by his unkempt appearance and quickly hid behind Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen kept her behind him and said to the old man, “Old gentleman, don’t scare her. Tell me, how much is this Jiutian Burning Skill?”
“Wrong! It’s the Jiuyan Sky-burn Skill! Sky-burn Skill!” The old man corrected him and then handed over a crumpled book, saying seriously, “Young man, you and I are destined to meet here. I will only charge you 10,000 Spirit Stones for this priceless treasure.”
Xiao Chen nodded and took it over. He was afraid that this crumpled book would turn into ashes if he used some strength. The waiter aside hurriedly said, “Sir, this is the consignment hall. You can’t trade…”
Before he could finish, the maid next to Xiao Chen winked at him, and the waiter said no more.
Xiao Chen took out a piece of level 5 Spirit Stones. “Old gentleman, there are not many destined people like me after all. If you want to sell something next time, go to the free-trading hall. Don’t make things difficult for this little brother.”
The old man took over the Spirit Stones and said seriously, “Young man, you are right. I’m leaving then.” After saying that, he turned and left. Far away, he sang, “Even though there are countless fortune and fate in the world, it is difficult to find the destined person…” He sounded like he was some kind of sage or Immortal.
Xiao Chen turned his head and said to the waiter, “The old gentleman’s fee is on me. You don’t have to worry.”
“Yes…” The waiter lowered his head and said nothing.
The people around left. “Let’s go. This person is either mad or fool.”
Murong Xian’er pursed her lips and said, “That old uncle is clearly a liar. Brother Xiao Chen still chose to be fooled, humph! You fool!”
Xiao Chen shook his head with a smile and said nothing.
Then, they hung around for a while, and there was really nothing for them on the second floor. As for the third floor, the things there were too expensive, and he did not have enough Spirit Stones. So they didn’t go upstairs. He asked the two sisters behind him, “Do you have anything else you need? I still have more than 30,000 Spirit Stones.”
Qingluan clasped her hands and said, “There is no need to worry about me, my Lord.”
Xiao Chen nodded. When he walked over a corner, he looked up and saw a pair of purple-green moon blades. The name was “Purple-green Blood-cutting Blades”. The price was 30,000 Spirit Stones. He thought that they used this kind of blade weapons. One green and one purple just matched the two sisters. He said to the maid beside him, “Miss, would you please take the pair of blades off? I want to have a look.”
