Chapter 272 Spirit Fish!
In addition to hosting auctions, the third floor of the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce is mostly rented out to provide venues and services on weekdays.
Liang Qu and others verified their identities at the entrance and were led by the waiter to take their seats in the pre-arranged seating order.
Today, the entire third floor is completely different from what I saw before.
The long red lacquer tables are arranged on both sides, as neat as the ink lines drawn by a carpenter, and you can't see the edge at a glance.
Several girls surrounded by screens play the guqin, and a faint fragrance permeates the air.
The long tables in front are spread side by side, with two-meter-long silk spread out. Several painters grind ink and wash brushes, preparing to paint and record the grand scene.
The ice platform in the distance is surrounded, and the air is not stuffy, but everyone still has an ice jar next to them, which looks like a palace building, and light white cold smoke drifts along the four corners of the eaves and hangs down.
County Magistrate Jian's celebration wine booked the entire third floor. He is rich and powerful, worthy of being the rich man who spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy the longevity treasure plant last time.
Wait.
Liang Qu sat behind the table, peeling the green tangerines in the fruit bowl, and suddenly thought of something.
If Jian Zhongyi's master ancestor really did that thing of stealing ashes, would Jian Zhongyi buy longevity treasures for his ancestor?
Liang Qu stuffed tangerine slices into his mouth, but could not come up with an answer.
Maybe it was just a rumor.
No matter who gets the treasure, it won't be his turn anyway.
As time passed, guests entered one after another until the first great martial artist Sui Hongyan appeared, and Jian Zhongyi showed up to receive them.
After Sui Hongyan, Yang Dongxiong, Xu Yuelong, Wei Lin and other important figures from the Hebo Office and the Monster Hunting Department appeared one after another.
The heroes were seated.
A group of tiger hunting great martial artists, with the strongest strength and status among them, sat in the center circle at the front.
Including Jian Zhongyi, there were nine people in total.
Further out, there was a marble stone inserted on the low screen that was not even as high as the calf, used to divide the space.
That was the position of the next level Ran Zhongshi, Xiang Fangsu and others.
People with strong strength and deep background.
There are about seventy of them.
On the third floor, the screen is half a person's height, painted with vermilion, and carved with various cranes, birds and beasts.
Guests need to sit up straight to see the first and second floors of the banquet through the screen.
There are more than a hundred people sitting in the seats belonging to Wei Shao, Liang Qu and others.
They are people with strength but insufficient background, or people with insufficient strength but with background.
Wei Shao's background is not as good as Liang Qu's.
As for the fourth floor, it is separated by a two-meter-high screen, and the situation on the third floor cannot be seen at all.
All the people sitting there are ordinary martial artists with no background in Hebo.
There are no meritorious people in it, and some even received the notice on the day, which is a "guest" role.
As for the fifth floor, there is no fifth floor, and ordinary soldiers who are not martial artists have not received invitations at all.
There are four floors in total, separated by screens of three heights.
The status and rank are clearly divided, and the depth is more than 200 meters.
If an ordinary person came, he would not be able to see what was going on inside.
Liang Qu looked at Wei Shao on the side opposite him with a slanted look, feeling unhappy.
If he were a wolf smoke martial artist, he would definitely sit in the second circle, not in the same circle with this person.
Wei Shao noticed Liang Qu's gaze, and he was disgusted with both of them, and snorted coldly.
When he saw Liang Qu, he thought of the more than 3,000 taels of silver he had lost, and that he had been soaking in the swamp for more than ten days, and his hands were cramped.
If Liang Qu had not been a great nobleman, and was not Yang Dongxiong's direct disciple, he would have been on the fourth floor at this moment, with those rough guys!
Center position.
Jian Zhongyi stood up and bowed.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience of staying here. I hope you will forgive me!"
"Lord Jian is too polite."
"It's really expensive, Lord Jian."
"It's not my expense. Most of the expenses today are provided by Mr. Zhu, the manager of Tianbo."
"Oh, is that so?"
"Mr. Zhu..."
It was all polite words.
Liang Qu was dozens of meters away, and his ears were calloused and his stomach was rumbling.
It was dusk when we came, and now it was dark, and the banquet had not started yet.
After talking for about a quarter of an hour, Jian Zhongyi finally toasted with everyone.
"Among the vast people, who doesn't have parents? They support and support them, fearing that they will not live long.
Who doesn't have brothers? They are like feet and hands. Who doesn't have a husband and wife? They are like guests and friends.
...
The world is sad, and the plants and trees are sad. Without condolences, the spirit has no place to go.
The first cup should be toasted to the warriors who have returned!"
Jian Zhongyi poured a glass of wine.
Everyone followed closely.
Liang Qu followed suit.
Jian Zhongyi spoke for a while and raised his glass.
"The second cup is for Emperor Shunyuan Dabao Shengwen Shenwu Fatian Zhengdao!"
Everyone drank.
Liang Qu drank.
"The third cup is for all the warriors who defend the country!"
After three cups of wine, the banquet began!
The guests enjoyed themselves.
The atmosphere was full of joy. After all, Jian Zhongyi was rewarding him in name, so he ate for free.
Liang Qu also wanted to chat with others, but when he looked around, he found that there were no people he knew around him.
Xiang Fangsu, Ran Zhongshi and others were all in the second circle.
The purpose of arranging seats is to divide the circles. They couldn't run around. If they told others, they would be uneducated. Liang Qu had to concentrate on eating and drinking.
The meal took more than an hour, and the second half was completely a state of being full and doing nothing.
It was hard to survive until the end of the Xu hour and the beginning of the Hai hour. At nine to ten o'clock in the evening, the banquet was just over.
Manager Zhu arranged people to send people home.
Liang Qu was in no hurry to go back. After bidding farewell to his master Yang Dongxiong, he first went to the second floor to stroll around and, with the help of a "shopping guide" waiter, bought some underwater precious plants.
Double Lotus, the level of Double Flower, can't be found. Only some ordinary precious plants can be found. The quality is not high, but the quantity is large.
Liang Qu didn't despise it. He estimated the amount of water essence and bought more than 800 taels of silver in total.
Yixing Town.
Chishan returned to the stable.
Liang Qu followed the underground river to Jianghuai Lake and swallowed the precious plants.
After digesting them all, the total amount of water essence increased by 800 taels. In total, one point of water essence costs more than one tael.
It is difficult to obtain water precious plants, and usually there is a premium.
The cockscomb fruit in the river and lake is a special supply. You can't find such a good and cheap precious plant outside.
More than 800 taels is really a loss.
But it's enough!
Only three cockscomb fruits are eaten a day because the effect will be weakened later. The blood and qi provided are limited, but the water essence obtained from them will not be less!
Before retreating, Liang Qu used his small merit to exchange dozens of cockscomb fruits in the river and lake, and thought that he would eat three a day and eat them slowly.
Now.
Erlang's favor is just around the corner!
No more grinding, start spending money!
[Water Essence +7]
[Water Essence +8]
[Water Essence +7.6]
Liang Qu eats one at a time.
In a blink of an eye, he eats more than 30 cockscomb fruits and regenerates more than 200 water essences.
Ten thousand essences, completely replenished!
Communicate with Ze Ding.
There is a constant sound of tides in the cauldron, and the light red red air surges above the water essence.
[If you get a wisp of red air and merge it with 10,000 water essences, you will give birth to a spirit fish, which can be sublimated and favored. ]
Everything is ready, merge!
Ze Ding blooms with brilliance, and the misty red air instantly merges into the rising water essence, rolling up a vortex, and the water level of the water essence drops rapidly, the speed is shocking.
Wait for the light to dissipate.
A dark blue red-eyed fish that feels no bigger than a thumb appears in Ze Ding.
The water essence that had accumulated so much before was reduced to a thin layer in an instant, so that the small fish could not swim at all and fluttered in it.
Is this the spirit fish?
Liang Qu ignored the heartache, and a mysterious feeling arose in his sea of consciousness, as if after being integrated into the red air, the water essence had undergone more complex changes.
[Get a spirit fish, you can sublimate the favor of the spirit of the spirit]
[The favor of the spirit of the spirit: the first level of martial arts (the Lord of the River); Yinglong pattern: one layer; Tianwu: one layer]
Liang Qu glanced at it without hesitation.
The Lord of the River!
