At night.
The City Lord's Mansion of Dragon Blood Fortress invited many sect disciples and elders who participated in the Prodigy Conference. However, the sect disciples who could enter the City Lord's Mansion were at least the Prodigies of the first-class sects.
Those second-rate and third-rate sect disciples are not even qualified to step into the city lord's palace.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand. There are a huge number of sect disciples participating in the Tianjiao Conference this time. If they are all invited to a banquet, a city lord's palace may not be able to accommodate it...
Yun Jiu originally wanted to find an opportunity to sneak in, but he didn't expect to be invited in after revealing his identity as a direct disciple of the Tiangang Sect.
Although Tiangang Sect is not as good as the Nine Holy Lands, it is still one of the top sects. The servants of the City Lord's Mansion have already done their homework, especially after knowing that Yun Jiu is still a direct disciple, they dare not neglect it!
Just when Yun Jiu stepped into the City Lord's Mansion, Chu Lan was accompanying the ancestor of the Chu family to meet the steward of the City Lord's Mansion.
The housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion is a white-haired old man. The old man is dressed in simple clothes and is only about 1.6 meters tall. Just looking at his appearance, no one would have guessed that this old man is a strong man in the late stage of Tongxu!
Although the old man is just a housekeeper, in this city lord's mansion, except for the city lord and his wife, all the affairs of the mansion are under his control.
"Brother Zhu, long time no see." The ancestor of the Chu family brought Chu Lan to the old man and greeted him with a smile.
"Brother Chu, why didn't you say hello in advance when he came?" The old man also laughed when he saw the ancestor of the Chu family.
Although the two had not seen each other for more than ten years, they were not strangers at all. Zhu Mao quickly spotted Chu Lan behind the ancestor of the Chu family, "Is this Lan'er? We haven't seen each other for so many years, and she has grown into a big girl. ..."
Chu Lan was very disdainful of the old man, but for the sake of her grandfather, she still asked, "Senior, have you seen Lan'er?"
Zhu Mao didn't notice anything and said with a smile, "I hugged you when you were just born, and you peed all over me at that time, hahaha."
The smile on Chu Lan's face was stiff, especially when she saw many people around her looking over here, she felt a little embarrassed, but she couldn't get angry!
"Ancestor, my grandson is not feeling well..."
"Not feeling well? What's wrong with you?" The ancestor of the Chu family was about to grab Chu Lan's wrist, but suddenly missed it.
Chu Lan was worried that her ancestor would see something strange, so she shook her head and said, "Don't worry, ancestor, Lan'er just has some chest tightness. Maybe she will be fine after going for a walk."
The ancestor of the Chu family did not become suspicious. Thinking that he had important matters to discuss with his old friend, Lan'er agreed, "Then you can go out and have a look by yourself!"
"Yes, ancestor..." Chu Lan bowed slightly to the old man and the ancestor of the Chu family, then turned and left.
The old man watched Chu Lan leave and poured a cup of tea for the Chu family ancestor himself and said, "I heard that this girl Chu Lan has entered the Tiangang Sect? That is a sect second only to the Nine Holy Lands..."
The ancestor of the Chu family drank all the tea in his hand, "It's a pity that this girl Lan'er failed to become a direct disciple of the Tiangang Sect."
"That's why you came here in person this time?" The old man blew the tea in his hand, then looked at the ancestor of the Chu family meaningfully and said, "If so, I'm afraid your visit this time will be in vain. I can’t decide on that thing, and it’s very difficult to get that thing with the financial resources of your Chu family!”
The ancestor of the Chu family was slightly startled and asked hurriedly, "Didn't you say that I have great hopes? How could you..."
Zhu Mao waved his hand, "That was already a month ago. If you came here at that time and I helped you, you would have at least a 70% chance of getting that thing. Even if you have to pay some price, it should be yours." The Chu family is very accepting..."
The ancestor of the Chu family frowned, then took out a storage ring and pushed it in front of Zhu Mao, "Brother Zhu, only that thing can awaken Lan'er's special physique. See if you can be accommodating..."
"Brother Chu, based on our friendship, if I can help you, do you still need these things?" Zhu Mao seemed a little unhappy and pushed the storage ring back.
The ancestor of the Chu family was silent for a few seconds and pushed the storage ring back again. "Brother Zhu, please tell me what happened here. Could it be that someone has taken a fancy to that thing?"
Zhu Mao glanced at the storage ring and did not put it away but did not push it back. "There is indeed a big shot who is very interested in that thing, so the city lord has ordered someone to send the thing to the auction house. Two days later, There will be an auction!”
"Auction house!" The ancestor of the Chu family's expression immediately turned ugly. The auction house was a place where the wrongdoers were killed. People who went there were either in urgent need of something, or they were stupid and had too much money to burn!
Even if it is an ordinary spiritual treasure, as long as it is sent to the auction house, the price may increase several times or even higher. Any treasure that someone is interested in will be auctioned at a price that is extremely inconsistent with itself...
"That's right, the starting price for that thing is 10 million low-grade spiritual stones." Zhu Mao looked at the ancestor of the Chu family, "And the big shot is determined to get this thing. If Brother Chu wants to compete with him, but You have to be mentally prepared!”
The ancestor of the Chu family was already livid. This old bastard was clearly implying that he had no chance. If he hadn't been embarrassed, he would have wanted to snatch back the storage ring he had just given away!
This time he left the Chu family in person. In addition to taking back the Nine-Star Lotus Seeds, the other thing was for that thing. Lan'er was a pure yin body that was rare to see in hundreds of years!
If such a physique is awakened, not only will the cultivation speed be extremely fast, but it will also be a rare and top-quality furnace!
With Lan'er's special physique, it would not be a problem for the Chu family to marry into the Nine Holy Lands. Originally, he did not want to use this method of marriage to strengthen the Chu family.
But now that the nine-star lotus seeds have been lost and the cubs of the mythical beasts have not been conquered, the only way to make the Chu family grow up in a short time is to marry.
The ancestor of the Chu family was a little reluctant, "Can't you think of a way?"
Zhu Mao shook his head, "Brother Chu, our relationship is better than that of real brothers. If I can help you, even if you don't tell me, I will do my best to help you, but that... we really can't mess with you. Get up!"
The ancestor of the Chu family took a deep breath and said, "Brother Zhu, who is the other party..."
"Xuanyuanyan, the divine son of the Qianyuan Holy Land!" Zhu Mao interrupted the Chu family ancestor, and then said from a distance, "If that girl Lan'er can get close to Xuanyuanyan, what does a mere awakening stone mean?"
"Xuanyuan Yan!" The ancestor of the Chu family showed joy in his eyes.
Xuanyuan Yan is not only the Son of God of the Qianyuan Holy Land, but also one of the top thirty powerful men in the Heavenly Ranking. What an honor it is to be ranked among the top thirty among the younger generation in the entire Tianyan Star Territory? !
