Suddenly appearing on the sofa in the middle of the room was a middle-aged man in his early forties. gully
The middle-aged man was wearing a silver-gray striped suit, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. He held a thick cigar in one hand and a glass of red wine in the other, shaking it gently in his hand. He had a long and narrow ponytail. He has a face with extremely thin lips, a pair of slender and long eyes, slanting toward the temples, and a mustache on his chin, which is trimmed extremely neatly.
Although the whole person cannot be said to be handsome, he has a strange charm.
Among the practitioners in the room, no one could notice the appearance of the middle-aged man beforehand, which was naturally shocking.
But Shu Guan's current mood cannot be described by the word shock, and the reason for the turmoil in his heart is not the middle-aged man himself.
The moment the middle-aged man appeared, a scene suddenly appeared in Shu Guan's mind.
It was a square, palm-sized, unicorn-shaped copper seal-like thing, suspended in the air and slowly rotating.
Xiaoyi's voice also rang in Shuguan's mind. gully
"That's the clock button ornament that Grandpa Gu Zhong lost!"
"It could be on this guy!"
Yes, the copper seal-like thing that appeared in my mind was the copper button ornament of the Taiping Dingshi Bell that was stolen hundreds of years ago.
Zhong Ling of the Dingshi Bell once said that after practicing its Tianyin Demon Subduing Technique, as long as you get within a hundred meters of the lost ornament, you will be able to sense it.
Now the feeling appeared, accompanying the appearance of this middle-aged man.
Therefore, there is a very high possibility that the unicorn ornament is on this middle-aged man.
As for the reason that cannot be 100% certain, of course it is also possible that in Yinle City at this time, someone happened to be within a hundred meters of him with a unicorn ornament. After all, there were many practitioners in Yinle City today. This possibility There are also some. gully
But Shu Guan feels that the second possibility is very, very small.
One is too much of a coincidence.
Another reason is that Shu Guan remembered that the unicorn ornament was also a magic weapon. As for its use, it allowed the person carrying it to peek into the thoughts of others.
So far, the two hosts in Yinle City have always given Shu Guan the feeling of being very good at understanding people's hearts.
But now Shu Guan knows that the brothers may not be good at reading people's hearts, but they can directly see through people's hearts.
That's why they could know the strongest desires hidden deep in the hearts of the big people in Jing City, and then help those big people realize their desires on the fifth floor of Yinle City, making those big people want to stop here and get stuck in it.
If the Kirin ornaments were in the hands of their brothers, then all this would make sense. gully
These thoughts flashed through Shuguan's mind.
Then he immediately stopped thinking.
Because if the unicorn ornament is on the middle-aged man's body now, he can peek into the heart of anyone in the room.
"Xiaoyi, help me hide my true thoughts."
Shuguan confessed to Xiaoyi in his mind, and then quickly put all the matters about the unicorn ornaments behind him.
He didn't know if Xiaoyi could help him hide his true psychological activities, but although Xiaoyi was no longer an artificial intelligence, he still retained many artificial intelligence abilities, so there should be a way.
Of course, Shu Guan was a little nervous, but he was not particularly worried, because there were many restrictions on using the unicorn ornament to spy on people's hearts. The spirit of the Dingshi Zhong once said that even if he is a practitioner, the most he can do in a day is It's best not to use it more than three times, otherwise it will damage your soul. gully
Therefore, this middle-aged man would not pry into the inner thoughts of everyone in this room unless necessary.
But next, I have to be extra careful not to attract the middle-aged man's attention.
Shu Guan was prepared not to say a word at this gathering of practitioners.
At this time, the middle-aged man in a striped suit swept his eyes around the room. There was nothing unusual about his eyes, but if you look carefully, you will find that there are many gloomy emotions hidden in his eyes.
Then the middle-aged man raised the red wine glass in his hand, took a sip, and said to everyone with a smile:
"Most of the people sitting here should know who I am, but it seems that there are a few people who are attending the party here for the first time today, so I will introduce myself."
"I am Gao Yue. People who have never met me must have heard of my name." He
"In the future transaction, if you are not sure about what you are getting, I will give you some opinions."
"As for the rules of trading here, there is only one, and that is, no one is allowed to cast spells in this room, except me."
"Besides, I can guarantee the safety of all of you in Yinle City. Of course, it's none of my business outside of Yinle City."
"Okay, now the party officially begins!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and then drank leisurely.
After about three or four seconds, one person started to speak first.
"I have three divine power talismans and two ice talismans on hand. I don't know if any of you here are interested."
The speaker wore a piggy mask on his face, and his voice was extremely hoarse and dry. I don't know if he was born like this or if he deliberately used his spiritual power to change his voice.
"Tell me about the specific effects."
Then not far across from him, a man in black wearing a duck mask immediately asked this question.
"The effect of the divine power talisman is to increase your own strength by 50%, and it lasts for twenty minutes. As for the specific effect of the ice talisman, it depends on the environment at the time. If you are here now, it can basically freeze all the water in a well. It lasts about ten minutes.”
The little pigman quickly explained in detail.
Under the little monkey mask, Shu Guan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
...What a weak Taoist talisman... He
Such a thought flashed through his mind.
Because whether it is a magical talisman or an ice talisman, Fifth Senior Brother An Zichun can draw it, but the power is much stronger than this little pigman's talisman.
For example, if the fifth brother draws the divine power talisman, it can basically increase the power by one to two times, and the duration can reach about an hour.
Not to mention the stacks of various powerful Taoist talismans placed in the Treasure Pavilion.
It seems that Nan Fei is right. Compared with the disciples of the Seven Immortals Alliance, these practitioners who have no sect to rely on, the gap in various resources is indeed huge.
The duckman seemed to ponder for a few seconds before continuing to ask:
"What do you need in exchange?"
"Herbs with spiritual remnants, or the blood of various animals that have survived for more than a hundred years, preferably those from snakes and insects."
"I don't have these two things. Can I buy them with silver dollars?"
"Are you new here? Almost no one here asks for silver dollars."
The little pig and the duck were talking in the air, and for a moment it seemed that the transaction would not succeed.
It was a practitioner wearing a puppy mask who spoke.
"I do have a bottle of blood from a century-old python, but I don't need the Taoist talisman. What can you give me in exchange for it?"
"I brought a small piece of meteorite this time, half a finger long and weighing three kilograms. Is that okay?"
The little duckman's eyes suddenly lit up and he said.
"Fine."
Puppy Man nodded casually.
A three-party deal was concluded.
Then Shu Guan saw the three of them put all their belongings on the table in front of Gao Yue.
Gao Yue's eyes swept over the talisman papers, a glass bottle containing dark red blood, and a wooden box containing a black iron block the size of half a thumb.
His gaze lingered longest on that piece of meteorite. gully
Then he waved his hand, and the meteorite iron floated directly from the wooden box.
So everyone in the room saw the piece of meteorite iron. It was completely black. Judging from the shape, it seemed to be a small piece broken off from a larger piece of meteorite iron. There were also holes in the broken section. There are some bluish spots scattered here and there.
Gao Yue took a closer look at the meteorite iron in the air again, then he raised his hand and took a puff of his cigar, and the meteorite iron in the air slowly fell back into the wooden box.
"The value of your meteorite iron is much higher than the other two items. Are you sure you want to exchange it with them?"
Then Gao Yue asked the duckling.
The little duckman seemed to really not know the value of his piece of meteorite iron, and seemed to turn his head to look at the other two people with some hesitation.
"Then I'll pay you another three thousand silver dollars."
After listening to Gao Yue's comments, the little dog man became determined to get this piece of meteorite iron and said so immediately.
The little duckman looked at Gao Yue again as if asking for help.
Gao Yue held a red wine glass in one hand and a cigar in the other. He shrugged coolly and said:
"The value of these things cannot be measured in silver dollars. It just depends on whether you need them."
After thinking for a few seconds, the duckman nodded and said:
"This thing is of no use in my hands, so I decided to exchange it."
The three things in front of Gao Yue immediately and slowly flew up automatically. The talismans flew towards the duckman, the bottle of century-old python's blood flew towards the pigman, and the wooden box containing meteorite iron Then flew towards the puppy man. gully
Then the puppy man took out a few more banknotes and handed them to the duck man.
At this point, this transaction is considered complete.
Gao Yue showed a satisfied smile on his face and said:
"Congratulations to you all for getting what you want, but don't forget to pay one thousand silver dollars each when you leave. This is the reward we deserve in Yinle City."
Gao Yue smiled and drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp.
"You don't like silver dollars, but I still like them very much, hahahaha. After all, my expenses are relatively large. For example, the glass of wine I just drank cost at least one hundred silver dollars."
…That’s a commission of three thousand? This business is quite profitable... Hey
Watching this scene, Shu Guan muttered in his heart.
At this time, another person stood up.
This is a practitioner wearing a deer mask. His eyes first scanned the room, and then he said slowly in a rather proud voice:
"This time I brought a Taoist secret book."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the room, and then there was the sound of rapid breathing.
