Dandy Pill God-Chapter 139: Treasure Pavilion, Auction
Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Treasure Pavilion, Auction
The next morning, Zhu Fei and his two companions had already packed up their belongings and left the stone chamber.
Having stepped outside, it took them about a day and, finally, by noon on the third day, they completely exited Changbai Mountain.
Entering Donglin City, the closest city to their location, Lin Hao and Zhou Yun couldn’t help but exhale deeply as they looked at the busy streets with cars and people coming and going.
"We’re finally out."
After uttering this slightly sentimental remark, Lin Hao looked towards Zhu Fei and said with a smile, "Brother Zhu, what are your plans next? We currently live here in Donglin City. If you don’t have any other matters, how about coming to our place as a guest first?"
"Oh, you guys are from around here?"
Zhu Fei was somewhat surprised. They hadn’t previously mentioned these details, and he found it somewhat unexpected to hear this now from Lin Hao.
However, he eventually shook his head with a smile and said, "No, I still have some personal matters to attend to. Brother Lin, if you have nothing else, let’s part ways here for now. As for visiting, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Indeed, Zhu Fei needed to contact Shen Yuyan next to see if, over the past few days, she had returned to her hometown in Heijiang Province and brought the three spirit stones for him.
If everything went smoothly, Zhu Fei planned to return to Lan City tomorrow.
After all, there were only about ten days left until the college entrance examination, and he was still somewhat worried about the situation in Lan City.
Thus, unless necessary, Zhu Fei didn’t plan to continue staying outside.
"Oh, if that’s the case, we won’t disturb Brother Zhu any further. But remember, Brother Zhu, if you come to Donglin City again, be sure to contact us. We would like to show you some hospitality."
With that, they exchanged contact information. Just as Lin Hao and Zhou Yun were about to turn and leave, Lin Hao suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to Zhu Fei, saying:
"By the way, there’s something I almost forgot. Brother Zhu, do you know that in a month, Treasure Pavilion will hold the largest auction ever in Haibei?"
"Treasure Pavilion? An auction?"
Hearing Lin Hao’s words, Zhu Fei was momentarily taken aback. He wasn’t aware of this news and could only shake his head and say:
"I’m not aware of it. Could you please tell me more, Brother Lin?"
Lin Hao nodded, unsurprised that Zhu Fei was unaware of this news.
He had also learned about it quite by chance.
"Treasure Pavilion is the largest merchant in our Ancient Martial World, with influence spanning the entire Ancient Martial World. It is said that even the so-called hidden sects and families have to give Treasure Pavilion some respect."
"From what I’ve heard, this auction by Treasure Pavilion will be far greater than their annual auction, with countless treasures including spirit grass, pills, and rare minerals—everything you can think of."
After a brief pause, Lin Hao continued, "Even spirit stones, which are highly sought after by martial artists for cultivation, might appear."
"Brother Zhu, if you’re interested, you might want to check it out. We could meet up there in Haibei."
Hearing this, Zhu Fei was slightly stunned.
He hadn’t expected that in this world’s Ancient Martial World, there would be auctions similar to those he had known in the Five Mountains Continent in his previous life.
Although Zhu Fei knew that this level of auction couldn’t compare to those in the Five Mountains Continent of his previous life, it was still quite impressive.
In his previous life, the sect that Zhu Fei had founded controlled several auction houses, so he was very familiar with this type of auction.
To put it simply, establishing an auction house recognized for its reputation, scale, and items, untouched by external influences and threats, was no easy task.
Without certain strength and heritage, it would be impossible.
Moreover, Lin Hao had mentioned the items to be auctioned in a month, and Zhu Fei was quite tempted.
Not to mention other things, just the spirit stones alone were worth his visit.
Treasure Pavilion, auction house, heh, interesting.
A smile appeared on Zhu Fei’s face, and he had decided that once he returned, he would inquire with Wen Lei or Song Yan to find out exactly what the situation was with this so-called Treasure Pavilion auction.
Then, he nodded towards Lin Hao and laughed, "Hmm, I am very interested in this auction, rest assured, in a month I will go to the north sea to see."
"Sure, then we shall meet again in a month."
Lin Hao and Zhou Yun both gave Zhu Fei a salute with their fists, then after a few more words, they bid each other farewell.
Watching Lin Hao and Zhou Yun’s figures gradually disappear from sight, Zhu Fei checked the time, planning to grab a meal before contacting Shen Yuyan.
However, before he had gotten far, his recently turned-on phone suddenly vibrated.
Upon checking his phone, Zhu Fei’s expression immediately darkened.
The message was from Shen Yuyan, whom he had planned to contact in a bit.
The content of Shen Yuyan’s message, though simple, infuriated Zhu Fei immensely.
It read: "Zhu Fei, I have been captured by Ma Shuai and his men. I’m currently at Bright Moon Club. They also have the three raw stones. If it’s convenient for you, I hope you can help me once again, Shen Yuyan."
"Crack."
Zhu Fei’s hand clenched fiercely, and a chilling sharpness flashed in his eyes.
"Ma Shuai, I let you go last time, and you still dare act recklessly. Not only daring to capture Shen Yuyan, but also daring to snatch the spirit stones I wanted, it seems you really don’t want to live."
Zhu Fei’s anger was not unreasonable, firstly because Shen Yuyan was now someone he, Zhu Fei, had publicly vowed to protect.
He remembered warning Ma Shuai explicitly before letting him go.
Although he knew that people like Ma Shuai’s words were nearly worth nothing, he didn’t expect that in just a few days, he would revert to his old ways and capture Shen Yuyan again.
Secondly, what Zhu Fei found absolutely intolerable was that Ma Shuai not only captured Shen Yuyan, but also dared to rob the spirit stones from her possession.
In his past life on the Five Mountains Continent, taking someone’s possessions was nearly akin to taking someone’s life.
Once such an incident took place, unless the robbed party admitted defeat, it would be a fight to the death.
And now Ma Shuai’s actions had undoubtedly crossed Zhu Fei’s line—how could he not be furious?
"Ma Shuai, I hope you haven’t done anything overly stupid yet, otherwise I will erase you and the Black Dragon Association from this world."
After speaking, Zhu Fei directly hailed a taxi and immediately headed towards Bright Moon Club.
