With this thought in mind, Zhao Qimeng simply found a place to sit down and wait.
Not long after, the light around them suddenly dimmed, and those who were originally chatting with each other and preparing to make family allies also fell silent.
At this time, on the high platform in front of everyone, a figure slowly walked out under the gaze of everyone.
The person who came was Chen Tianjing, but at this moment Chen Tianjing had a calm expression and a confident look. The brand new clan uniform on his body and the family logo on the cuffs made people notice it at a glance.
Soon, Chen Tianjing arrived at the center of the platform and said:
"My name is Chen Tianjing, and I am now the patriarch of the Chen family. I am delighted that you have come from afar this time."
After hearing Chen Tianjing's introduction, many family members below looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
The patriarch of the Chen family is actually only at the initial stage of the Xiantian realm.
This is quite different from the strength that the Chen family has demonstrated before, and it also made many family members turn their eyes, as if they had different thoughts.
Chen Tianjing didn't care about the different looks from below, and just continued:
"The family already knows why you are here! So we won't waste any more time!"
After he finished speaking, Chen Tianjing clapped his hands.
The next moment, many tribesmen came carrying bags of blood rice to the platform.
Although everyone could not see clearly what was in the bag, the rich blood energy gathered from the blood rice made everyone present feel refreshed. Many people slowly stood up and wanted to take a look at what was in the bag.
Before Chen Tianjing could speak again, someone asked:
"Patriarch Chen, how do you sell your blood rice?"
"Of course it's still thirty jade coins per pound."
There was some uproar in the audience after hearing this answer. The next moment, someone from the family shouted loudly:
"Patriarch Chen, I arrived in Yong'an City half a month ago. According to the time, I should be the first one to buy it!"
The person who spoke was a Xiantian realm warrior from a small family. Although he was not far from Yong'an City, he had always been unknown. Now that he saw so much blood rice, he naturally couldn't suppress his thoughts.
But before Chen Tianjing could answer, a disdainful voice came from the side:
"Hehe, you're the first one here, so you should be the first one to buy. But if you buy them all, will you let us buy?"
Chen Tianjing looked at the person who spoke and quickly recognized him. This person was called Yao Feng and was from the Yao family, a family that came from Xiangshui City. Because Xiangshui City was quite far away, it took some time for them to get here.
However, this person's realm is only the middle stage of the Innate Realm, and he is relatively old. The Yao family is probably just a small family.
Seeing that other families wanted to buy in the order of first come, first served, they were naturally unhappy.
Following Yao Feng's rebuttal, many families also nodded in agreement:
"that is!"
But then another voice was heard:
"I don't care how you buy this blood rice, but my Mo family will definitely buy dozens of bags!"
"Humph, what's your right, Mo family? I'm from the Yu family of Dongling. We can't buy less of this blood rice!"
…
In the crowd, many family members were quarreling over the priority purchasing right of blood rice.
On the side, Zhao Qimeng just sat quietly, with a hint of laughter and contempt in his eyes.
These small families are only interested in profit and cannot distinguish between the important and the unimportant. They will fight with each other for a mere piece of blood or rice.
Well, let them fight it out. He also wants to see how the Chen family ends up.
With so many innate warriors, if the Chen family did not have some strength, it would be difficult to suppress them.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Qimeng became more relaxed, and even leaned back slightly, as if he was looking for a comfortable position.
But just as Zhao Qimeng was watching from the sidelines, he suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye a man who was also sitting quietly in a seat not far away, remaining calm.
The man had a calm expression on his face, and was sitting quietly beside him like him, as if the noise nearby had nothing to do with him.
And the most important thing is that he actually... couldn't see through this person, and he seemed to have never seen this person before, which meant that this person was not from one of the many families present.
This added a hint of surprise to Zhao Qimeng's face, and his back, which had just been slightly reclining, quickly straightened up.
As if noticing Zhao Qimeng's gaze, the man turned his head and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Zhao Qimeng also nodded in response, but he became more cautious in his heart.
"In my opinion, it's better for the highest bidder to win. My Yu family is willing to pay 31 jade coins per pound to buy it!"
Suddenly, a loud voice was heard among the quarreling crowd.
Although this person is only in the early stage of the Innate Realm, he is not very old. The Yu family he mentioned is not unfamiliar to many families present.
The Yu family owns a fine iron mine. The ironware made from this mine is of extremely good quality. Occasionally, even some silver iron ore can be dug out from the iron mine, which is an auxiliary material that can be used to make sharp weapons.
It was precisely because of this excellent iron mine that the Yu family grew from an unknown family to become quite wealthy.
After hearing what this person said, many family members glared at him angrily.
Using jade coins to pressure others is really despicable.
The family members who were originally arguing also shut up and turned their eyes to Chen Tianjing on the high platform:
"Patriarch Chen, how should we sell this jade coin?"
"That's right, Patriarch Chen, we have been waiting for so long, but you haven't given us any definite information. Are you trying to deceive us?"
"Patriarch Chen, please say something!"
…
Everyone who was originally pointing fingers at each other now turned their eyes to Chen Tianjing; they had figured it out.
If you want to buy blood rice, there is no way to argue. You have to see what the Chen family thinks first.
"Everyone, please be patient!"
Above, Chen Tianjing raised his hands slightly, signaling everyone not to be anxious.
He also saw what happened just now, but he did not rush to stop the quarrel. Naturally, he wanted to find some powerful families among them and choose partners.
After everyone calmed down, Chen Tianjing spoke:
"Everyone has come from afar for my Chen family's blood rice. In order to ensure that your trip is not in vain, this blood rice will be distributed to all the tribes that have come this time. The family will sell you an equal amount of blood rice. Please do not worry."
"As for the price, it is still thirty jade coins per pound. This is the price set by the family and will not be changed."
As these words were spoken, many people present showed joy on their faces, because this way, they no longer had to worry about not being able to buy blood rice.
However, some people from several families looked gloomy and seemed dissatisfied with this.
