  An Zheng was touched, not for himself, not for Xiao Qi Dao.

  When Great Mother Ye went to great swallow, even though she didn't say it, how could her thoughts about her mother not be serious? He was sensible and never brought it up with An Zheng, but An Zheng had already seen Xiao Qi Dao sitting there in a daze countless of times.

  But in the end, An Zheng still did not agree, because he knew what the Great Mother Ye was afraid of.

  "Thank you for your good intentions, Principal."

  An Zheng cupped his fist: "I heard that there will be a Grand Autumn Ceremony in three and a half years. I want... It won't be too late to go back then. "

  Qiu Changchen sighed: "I am afraid that once we arrive at Grand Autumn Ceremony, the rest of you will become famous throughout the world. I am afraid that you do not even want the Shang Wu Academy anymore."

  He took out a metal plate and placed it on the ground, "If you change your mind, come find me at any time. I represent the great swallow's military, the Shang Wu Academy, and welcome all of you anytime. "

  With that, he got up and said goodbye.

  An Zheng looked at the metal plate. On it was a flaming flying wolf.

  There were three words on the back of the metal plate … Tie Liuhuo

  Chapter 52 - Treasure Convention

  An Zheng calculated the time. With Zhong Jiuge's speed, Tian Haogong would probably need a while to reach the Great Western Region. He had saved Princess Tian Haogong's life, and after that, Xu Meidai placed one of her heart on An Zheng. Xu Meidai was a rare genius, the people only knew that she started to cultivate at the age of seven. No one knew what exactly happened during her cultivation. But when she took over Tian Haogong, she was only twenty-seven years old.

  Twenty years, to cultivators, wasn't really that long. However, everyone's twenty years were absolutely different.

  During the day, An Zheng spent most of his time leisurely, so after he finished arranging cultivation tasks for Xiao Qi Dao and Qu Liuxi, he brought Du Shoushou and left the Heavenly Enlightenment Martial Academy. When An Zheng left, he let the Old Huo and the Mad Qu enter the Heaven Defying Seal's space. When he was not around, if someone who could not suppress his greed barged in, the people in the dojo would not be able to handle it.

  An Zheng hugged good old man, who had Bronze Bell hanging from his neck.

  An Zheng did this on purpose so that the people watching from the dark would know that the Bronze Bell was not in the martial courtyard.

  "Where to?"

  Du Shoushou asked.

  An Zheng indicated towards the Nanshan Street with his mouth: "Zaocang."

  Du Shoushou asked: "Why are you being so kind today, let me accompany you for a stroll."

  An Zheng said: "Your current cultivation speed is not slow. With Heaven Defying Seal, your time in cultivation is a thousand times greater than others. So if others need a long time to enter the Sumeru Stage, then the time you need is much shorter. Once he reached the Sumeru Stage, he would need to acquire a handy magical equipment. So, in the future, when you have time, go to Zaocang and take a look.

  Du Shoushou said: "Are you sure that you managed to get something good?"

  An Zheng looked at Mao'er.

  Du Shoushou: "I'm just afraid that you won't wake up."

  An Zheng said: "No matter how good your sleep is, you will wake up if I place a piece of cured meat in front of your nose. It's the same for good old man. No matter how sweetly they sleep, as long as there's any treasure, it will wake up immediately. "

  As he was speaking, the cat suddenly raised its head and looked towards the roadside.

  On the streets of Fantasy City, there were many stalls selling things. There were also some things used for daily life, and some people who claimed to be Master Refiners. They were all crying as they sold their last three hundred days. knew that it had definitely found some good stuff, so he pulled at Du Shoushou, telling him not to expose any flaws, and the two of them walked over.

  The person who set up the stall was a middle-aged man. He looked thin and lean, and his face was yellow. He had spread a dirty cloth on the floor. There were bottles and jars on it, and little combs, and little mirrors. An Zheng walked up to them and took a look around. He realized that none of those things could catch his eye.

  Isn't that the Master An from Heavenly Awakening Sect?

  The middle-aged man quickly stood up with a smile on his face. "I was watching when we competed with the academy." Anzhu, you are this! "

  He raised his thumb.

  An Zheng laughed: "How could that be, I'm just lucky."

  The middle-aged man said, "Don't talk about luck. Everyone has their own luck, but not everyone will be able to stand out. Anzhu is only a little over ten years old, but you are already famous in the Fantasy City. In the future, his achievements would be limitless. If you want me to say, as long as you walk out of Fantasy City, you will be a grandmaster of a generation. "

  Du Shoushou said: "Seeing how good you are at talking, why don't we buy something for you?"

  "No, no, no."

  The middle-aged man said, "Actually, there is nothing that you two can see in my things. If you have anything you want, just say it, I'll send you off. "

  An Zheng squatted down, and the good old man struggled out of his embrace, constantly sniffing and sniffing. Actually, it was masking its observation. An Zheng thought that this little fellow had grown up to actually know how to put on an act. The cat finally stopped beside a small round plate, turned around and meowed towards An Zheng.

  An Zheng looked at the plate. There really wasn't anything strange about it, and the material was porcelain, so it definitely wasn't some kind of magical equipment. However, since the good old man had Eye of Nine Incarnations, he would definitely not be mistaken. Although the good old man's Eye of Nine Incarnations had yet to be fully activated, it would not make sense if they were to miss it at such a close distance. That small plate seemed to be quite old. It was placed there with a piece of blue cloth under it. It was about half a meter in size.

  "Is he picking out food for himself?"

  Du Shoushou asked.

  An Zheng laughed, thinking that regardless of what it was, since good old man has his eyes on it, he should just buy it.

  "How much is the plate?"

  An Zheng asked.

  The middle-aged man quickly waved his hands, "I've already said it, I'll gift you whatever you have your eyes on. To tell you the truth, most of the things here were picked up by me from the mountains, and I took them from poor families. There was no magic artefact here, the plate … I think it's something from hundreds of years ago. It's worth a bit of silver, but I can still give it to you. "

  An Zheng casually asked: "How did you get this plate?"

  The middle-aged man said, "A few days ago, someone from outside came in a hurry. Ask me if I want this dish, and a few other things, all wrapped up in this rag. I looked at it then and decided to keep it after casually killing the price. That person was obviously dug up by himself. I can't ask about the details, right? It's not fake, but it's too short. "

  Du Shoushou asked. "How much did you spend on this plate?"

  The middle-aged man extended two fingers and added another one. "Three thousand taels."

  An Zheng laughed and asked Du Shoushou to give him three thousand silver. The middle-aged man started to say that he would not take it. He said that the high price was not to sell to An Zheng, but to add some weight to his present so that An Zheng and the others could remember him. If there was anything that he needed An Zheng's help with in the future, he could speak freely. An Zheng naturally would not take advantage of this situation. After leaving behind three thousand silver taels, he picked up the small plate and left.

  good old man did not leave and stood there shouting.

  Du Shoushou giggled. "You still want to wrap it? It's not like you're giving me presents, what package do you want!"

  The middle-aged man quickly p
icked up the torn blue cloth, shook it and wrapped the plate before handing it over. Du Shoushou kept the things and casually placed them into the small bag on his back. His bag was brutal, with half a roasted chicken in addition to the silver notes. Even if this combination wasn't something that would never occur in the future, at least it was something that had never been seen before. Du Shoushou was considered rich, all his money was under his control. This ignorant fellow had piled a pile of silver on his bed and even made a pure silver urinal.

  The kitten continuously looked in Du Shoushou's direction, and in the end, struggled out of An Zheng's embrace and jumped into Du Shoushou's embrace, causing Du Shoushou to feel extremely flattered. "Aiyah, good old man, if you're going to be so lucky on this broad daylight street, I really can't take it."

  An Zheng rolled his eyes at him: "I'm on the main street, can you lower your voice a little?"

  Du Shoushou laughed out loud: "Forget about on the streets, even in the Da Xi palace, I wouldn't dare to lie down if good old man asked me to."

  He caressed the good old man's supple fur and discovered that the good old man was continuously digging into his shoulder bag. Du Shoushou took out half of the roasted chicken and fed it to the good old man. Finally, the good old man sneaked into his bag and took the place of the roasted chicken. It seemed to like this little place a lot as it curled up and closed its eyes to sleep again.

  Du Shoushou unwrapped the oil paper from the roasted chicken while chewing it, and said unclearly: "An Zheng, when we go back to Nanshan Street this time, shouldn't we make a move? In any case, you are now the master of a sect, and I am the head disciple of the Heavenly Awakening Sect. How about this, I'll go to the brothel across the street and hire a few ladies to carry us back? "

  "F * ck off."

  "Carry this girl and scram? That would be a bit embarrassing. "

  "Scram."

  "You watched me get lost? I'll be even more embarrassed. "

  An Zheng said: "If you continue to be so despicable, I will take back your power in finances."

  Du Shoushou: "It's fine as long as you say it, don't take it seriously. "I'm used to sleeping with my head on a silver pillow now. Give me a pillow and I won't be able to sleep."

  The Fantasy City was actually very big, and built relying on the mountain, so most of the roads could only be walked. An Zheng and Du Shoushou were not used to being carried around in palanquins, they simply chatted and chatted along the way to buy snacks to eat. When Du Shoushou arrived at the entrance of Zaocang with a candied flakes in his mouth, he was stopped by the two attendants that greeted him.

  "Masters, do you have an invitation letter?"

  Du Shoushou was startled: "What invitation? To buy things from you and you still need an invitation?"

  The servant recognized Du Shoushou and An Zheng, and An Zheng was especially famous right now, so he was rather polite to them, "Anzhu, Master Du, there's really something special about this day. Zaocang had a new batch of good items a few days ago. It was truly priceless. These things could not be revealed to the public yet, so they invited some of the elders from the Fantasy City with good eyesight to come over and admire them. Without the invitation letters, it was indeed inconvenient to let the two masters in today. How about this, when the treasures are auctioned off in a few days, I will personally make a trip to the Martial Arts Academy to inform the two masters? "

  Just as he was speaking, a fragrance drifted out from the Zaocang. The mysterious Zaocang Manager, a charming woman walked out with her waist and legs twisted.

  "Oh, little mister."

  It was the young lady dressed in purple who was referred to as First Mr. She seemed to prefer purple, with many purple dresses. The long dress he was wearing today looked quite graceful and luxurious. The temperament of a noblewoman made her attractiveness towards men rise to a whole new level.

  "Good morning, First Mr."

  An Zheng cupped his fists and smiled.

  The purple dressed lady said: "My name is Zhuang Feifei, if Sir does not mind, you can call me Big Sister Zhuang."

  An Zheng thought to himself, last time you were unwilling to tell me your name no matter what, but he wouldn't show any displeasure. He smiled and said, "First Mr is still the best.

  Zhuang Feifei said: "Follow me, come in."

  She glanced at the two attendants, "Remember, no matter what happens in the future, as long as Anzhu wants to come in, you can't stop them."

  Du Shoushou asked in the lowest tone, "What about tonight?"

  Zhuang Feifei's eyes moved about, "It's fine even if it's at night, it's fine at any time."

  Du Shoushou felt a wave of heat in his lower abdomen, and then he realized that he had lost. This woman's cultivation was much deeper than his.

  Zhuang Feifei led An Zheng and into the Zaocang. There were already more than ten people in the hall, all of them seemed to be famous people. As soon as An Zheng entered the room, he heard someone calling for him.

  "Master An, this way."

  An Zheng looked towards the direction of the voice and discovered that it was the huge alligator Gao Sanduo from the gambling den.

  "Mr. Gao."

  An Zheng immediately cupped his fists and greeted him, but was pulled back onto the chair by Gao Sanduo: "Why are you being so courteous to me, there is no need to be so distant between the two of us. I didn't expect that you would also come today. I heard that you have great attainments in appraising treasures. But things haven't come up yet. Let's sit and rest for a while. "In a moment, I'll introduce everyone who came today to you …"

  Just as he was speaking, Phantom Institute's Vice Principal, Zhen Zhuangbi, walked in with her fan in hand. He seemed to want to use her fan to pat Zhuang Feifei's butt, but Zhuang Feifei dodged his. Therefore, Du Shoushou's eyes were immediately filled with dense killing intent.

  It was not because of Zhuang Feifei, but because Du Shoushou truly wished to kill him.

  Zhen Zhuangbi also saw An Zheng and gave a cold snort as he walked in.

  good old man peeked his head out from Du Shoushou's bag and meowed once, the stars in his eyes beginning to circulate.

  Chapter 53 - Echo Dingbao

  She remembered the last time Chen Shaobai left, he said that his target was the Stellar Sea. An Zheng didn't mind, because at most, half of what Chen Shaobai said would be trusted. However, An Zheng was not far from the sea of stars, because he could see them clearly in good old man's eyes.

  From the moment he entered the gates of Zaocang, the stars in his eyes started to swirl slowly. However, no one paid attention to the eyes of a cat. Everyone's attention was on the treasure that was about to be brought out. This time, the Zaocang only invited a few famous people in the field of appraising treasures. They should be evaluating these items so that the starting price wouldn't be too low when auctioning them off in the future.

  Gao Sanduo could be considered famous in the Fantasy City. He had a lot of connections, and seemed to be able to speak a few words to everyone. However, ever since the fight with the Phantom Institute at the Heaven's Enlightenment Martial School, he and Zhen Zhuangbi had completely broken off all ties. Therefore, this person had a clear sense of gratitude and hatred deep in his bones, as well as a bit of chivalry. Since the Old Huo had done him a favor, he would repay it. As for who they would offend and who they would love, all of them could just scram to the side.

  "How unlucky."

  Gao Sanduo opened the Mountain River Fan: "In the past, I didn't feel too disgusted looking at Zhen Zhuangbi, why do I feel unlucky looking at him now?"

  Du Shoushou said: "It might not be bad luck, maybe it's just luck."

  Gao Sanduo: "Master Du, what do you mean?"

  Du Shoushou: "Bullsh * t, everyone doesn't like it. It looks quite disgusting to look at, but doesn't everyone say that dog shit, dog shit, and dog shit are good luck? San Ye had previously stepped on Zhen Zhuangbi, so I will definitely be lucky today. "

  Gao Sanduo cupped his fists
: "That's reasonable! But if others call me Lord Gao or Lord Duo, why do you call me Lord Third? "

  Du Shoushou: "I finally know why An Zheng calls you Mr. Gao."

  Gao Sanduo laughed, he was open-minded and open-minded, although he had been training in the martial arts world for the past few years, he still felt clean and straightforward. In his eyes, An Zheng and Du Shoushou were cute little brothers. Especially An Zheng, a loyal person. People who roamed the martial arts world loved loyal people.

  "Who is this boss of the Zaocang? How can he always exchange for good stuff?"

  Du Shoushou asked.

  Gao Sanduo lowered his voice and said: "It is said that the root of the Zaocang is not in the Fantasy City, but outside. Rumor has it that it was set up by a certain government within the sixteen kingdoms, and that it belonged to the nature of a semi-official government. The goal was to prepare for the war so that the silver could be used as military expenditure. Wherever the army passed by, not a single blade of grass grew, so the occasional appearance of good things didn't mean much anymore. Furthermore, why did they need to invite people to appraise the items in the Zaocang when they arrived? "It's because the people in the army just dig and rob, they don't know what these things are and what they are worth."

  "Rumor has it that in many places there are branches of the Zaocang. The largest one is in the capital of the State of Yan."

  Gao Sanduo spoke with confidence and confidence, with a bit of elegance.

  Du Shoushou said: "No wonder you can always deliver good things, and like to deliver them to the Fantasy City. "This place doesn't care. As long as you have money, it's easy to do what you want. If you find the original owner of something somewhere else, it might just be a ruckus."

  Gao Sanduo nodded his head: "That's the theory, and there are many hidden tigers and dragons in Fantasy City, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell your things."

  As he was speaking, many women wearing beautiful long dresses filed in from the back. These women were all very smooth, tall and slender, with the appearance of having a physique. They were wearing a uniform long skirt with the hem almost reaching their thighs. Therefore, when they walked, they attracted everyone's attention with a bright white light. There were a total of 12 women, all of whom walked out in two rows with a smile on their faces.
