Chapter 154: Black Flame Stone Mother, Li Zi Appears
Nanbo City, Qintang District, Gulong Commercial Building. Today, Gulong Building is unusually deserted. There are fewer people coming here to consume and play finance, but the number of security guards has increased significantly.
The main entrance of the building has been covered with a more luxurious red carpet than ever before. Six special police officers with live ammunition stand on both sides of the gate, ready to fight.
"Hey, Chief, oh, okay, okay, please rest assured, Xiao Mi and I will definitely do a good job of guarding the scene...
Huh~ Xiao Mi, let's go check the police deployment in all directions of Gulong Building. No one here today is an ordinary person, so we must not be careless. Come with me, Xiao Mi, and check the blind spots."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Lei, who was standing in front of the Gulong Building, waved to Xiao Mi, and then the two of them began to eliminate blind spots in the entire Gulong Building.
Finally, after an hour and a half of careful inspection by Shi Lei and Xiao Mi, the security work for the Gulong Building today was arranged.
In half an hour, celebrities from all walks of life and those martial arts families and sects will arrive here to participate in the auction of Gu Long's "Tian Xiang".
When the time came, Shi Lei saw celebrities and people from various martial arts families and sects. The latter were mostly teams of more than a dozen people, accounting for the majority of the people. Among these people, Shi Lei saw an acquaintance.
Li Chen was seen leisurely being sandwiched in the crowd and followed into the Gulong Building.
“Hiss…Brother Li Chen’s background is really not simple. He doesn’t feel uncomfortable at all when he is with these people. Many of them even greet him with smiles.
However, I didn't expect that he also likes these antiques? There are no auction items here that are less than 10 million yuan. They are all affordable for the rich. Let's go, Xiao Mi, we will follow."
After Shi Lei sighed, he pulled Xiao Mi to follow him. They would be personally responsible for supervising the security of the auction venue.
Gulong Commercial Building, 58th floor, No. 6 dedicated large auction room, this is the venue for antique auctions. At this time, people entering the building are entering the venue one after another. It is said that there are many good items in this auction, and they are all looking forward to it.
"Isn't this our sharpshooter Colonel Mu Qingyuan? Old Mu, it's been three years since we last met. I hope you are doing well."
At the auction venue, Li Chen saw Colonel Mu Qingyuan under Lin Chen and greeted him.
Logically speaking, as Lin Chen's confidant, Mu Qingyuan would often meet Li Chen because of his relationship with the former, but as early as three years ago, Mu Qingyuan was transferred to other departments to serve as an instructor, and he no longer met Li Chen.
Seeing that it was Li Chen greeting him, Mu Qingyuan quickly responded, "It's you, brother. Three years have passed, and you are still as charming as ever.
But I didn't expect that you like these antiques as much as my general does. Do you have any favorites this time?"
"Not yet, but take your time to look around, there are quite a few items for auction this time." Li Chen said.
A middle-aged man in a white Tang suit sat in the row between Li Chen and Mu Qingyuan. This man was Qing Xiaoyao, the head of the Qing family who was also a well-known figure in the martial arts world.
Taking off the sword from his back, Qing Xiaoyao turned to look at Li Chen and said, "My friend, it has been three years since we parted in Xingfu City. Are you doing well?"
"Thank you Master Qing for your concern. I'm fine and my strength has improved a lot. I think it's the same for you, Master?" When he met Qing Xiaoyao that year, Li Chen was at the peak of his innate level. Although he was hiding something, Qing Xiaoyao still noticed him.
At that time, Qing Xiaoyao had reached the limit of Hua Jin. Now Li Chen has already officially embarked on the path of cultivation and his strength has increased many times. The former has reached the middle stage of Xiantian.
"Hahaha, nothing can be hidden from you, my friend. The reason I'm here today is because my old man is celebrating his 70th birthday and he fell in love with a painting." Qing Xiaoyao said with a smile.
While the few of them were talking, Shi Lei and Xiao Mi came to the command room on the same floor as the auction venue. This was the gathering place for all building monitoring, broadcasting, and communications, making it easier to make overall arrangements.
Behind the scenes of the auction venue, the items have been placed one by one. The auction is about to begin and all the staff are in place.
boom!
After a loud bang, all the lights in the venue turned on, illuminating the entire venue. The curtain opened, and the auctioneer appeared in front of everyone holding the auction hammer.
After the opening remarks, the host directly introduced the first item for auction. This is a painting from 1200 years ago, and both the pigment and painting skills are top-notch.
"Dear guests, the starting price of this painting, "Green Mountains in Ink", is 3000 million. Each bid increment must not be less than million. The bidding begins!"
As the host said "start", everyone present started to bid, but Li Chen was obviously not among them. Saying that he had no target was just a pretense, otherwise he would not come to this type of auction.
This time, the item that Li Chen was interested in was the Black Flame Stone Mother, an extremely rare mid-grade refining material.
Of course, no one knew what it was called when it was taken to the auction. Anyway, it was the same as the Earth Shadow Stone. It was only included in the auction list because of its strange appearance.
When Lin Chen showed him the first-hand auction information, Li Chen just glanced at it inadvertently and saw the Black Flame Stone Mother, so he decided to make a visit.
"The special flame power contained in the Black Flame Mother is very suitable for the Gold of Life. If you are lucky, the Flame of Life may appear, and then you will make a lot of money. But it hasn't appeared yet... Hmm? A bug has sneaked in."
Suddenly, Li Chen sensed four auras, two of which were from Oxer and the other two were from Piccolo.
Two Oksers are easy to explain, but if there are two breaths of Piccolo bionic man, then it means that this guy Li Xiaochou has made a second-generation Piccolo bionic chip.
According to Li Chen's calculations, the second generation Piccolo's strength should be around the middle level of the general class. With this number...even if Duanmu and Kuohai fight until their swords start smoking, it still won't be enough.
"The fourth lot is 'Mingfeng Pavilion Preface', a masterpiece of cursive script by a great calligrapher from 1000 years ago. The starting price is 7500 million. Each increase in price must be no less than 100 million. Now the auction begins." As soon as this lot was announced, people began to raise the price again.
This time, Qing Xiaoyao was also among them, because the old patriarch of the Qing family was interested in the "Mingfeng Pavilion Preface", so he joined the bidding.
"Beimiao, where are you? Okay, come here now and wait near the Gulong Commercial Building. Once I notify you, you will take action.
Remember, suppress your strength to the quasi-king level before you make a move. "Ignoring the auction, Li Chen contacted Bei Miao and asked him to come over. After all, there were four people. In his perception, only one was at the peak of the general level, and the others were at the commander level.
The enemy has more people and is stronger than Duanmu and Kuohai, so a stronger force must be dispatched. As for why it is not Lichen, it is time to let the old friend move around.
At the auction venue, the seventh lot had already been put on the market. It was a piece of jadeite with excellent quality, commonly known as Grandmother Imperial Green.
"I originally thought I had only found a piece of Black Flame Mother Stone, but I didn't expect there would be a surprise. This piece of jade is engraved with a magic array that I have never seen before. The aura in it...
Never mind, let's get it first. The starting price is 6000 million, so I'll give you a big one at once, 7500 million!" Li Chen raised the bid, and the price stunned everyone present.
They estimated the final price of this jadeite to be 7200 million. An extra 300 million was not worth it at all. Although everyone present was not short of money, they would not waste it.
So Li Chen easily took the picture of the jadeite, and then his target came, the Black Flame Stone Mother.
Since it is regarded as a rare stone, the price is not high, with a starting price of only 1600 million.
Few people were interested in this kind of thing, so Li Chen raised the price a little and got it, and finally spent 3000 million. After getting what he wanted, Li Chen started to stare at the four guys.
After Li Chen's spiritual detection was turned on, these guys had nowhere to hide.
Little Leo and Cold Blood, then two Oxers, one is a crow Oxer, and the other is an Oxer that looks like a hedgehog. They are all in the ventilation duct on this floor of the building.
"The 11th lot is Hetian white jade. This piece of Hetian jade, whether in appearance or color...ah! Yes, it's a monster..."
Just as the host was introducing the items for auction, the door of the venue was suddenly broken open violently, and Leo, in the form of the ugly monster Piccolo, rushed in with the hedgehog Oxer.
This sudden scene surprised everyone in the venue. After all, monsters like Oxer have been very popular recently, and they have many more channels of information than ordinary people, so of course they are familiar with it.
Faced with this monster that even thermal weapons could not cause effective damage to, even those people from martial arts families and sects could not muster the will to resist.
In this way, the auction venue turned into a place to escape. People from the martial arts forces were the fastest. When they reached a certain floor, they used their own skills to escape from the Ancient Dragon Building.
But those celebrities were in trouble. These people were not warriors, and they became fish at the mercy of others. As for the special police... they had been dealt with by Oxer in advance, otherwise no one would have reminded them until now.
"Good boy, let's do a big thing and get rid of all these troublemakers. Then we can go and steal the valuables." Little Leo pointed at the people who had not escaped yet and laughed strangely.
Oxer is a creature where the strong obey the weak, and after listening to the handsome intermediate Leo, the beginner hedgehog Oxer went straight for the people, since he could grab the things later anyway.
"Stop! You, Oxer, are maliciously hurting people and attempting to rob them. Tornado defense!" A turquoise tornado suddenly appeared in front of the hedgehog Oxer, blocking its attack.
"Your opponent is me, the Whirlpool Sword!" A moment later, Tsunami holding a sword walked out from a stream of blue water, and he went straight to Leo.
As for Li Chen, he had already left Gulong Building with Mu Qingyuan, Qing Xiaoyao and another middle-aged couple.
