Chapter 12012 Is this the handsome guy with an ancient atmosphere? ...
Jubao Tower is located in a prime location. It is tall, majestic and magnificent, and is considered a landmark building in the city.
It mainly sells antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and rare jewelry. It holds three auctions every month and has a stable customer flow.
The boss is said to be a bit mysterious. All we know is that his surname is Bai. He has a deep background and great powers, and he can get any good things.
When Lu Qingqing received the wooden sign and stepped into the gate of Jubao Tower, she immediately felt that what the inn waiter said was not an exaggeration.
The carpet feels great underfoot, bright yet not gaudy, and must be a very high-end exotic product; both the hard furnishings and soft furnishings in the house are quite high-end, even the lamp holders are inlaid with gold and silver, shining with a rich aura.
The scent of sandalwood flowing in the air of the hall is restrained and elegant, which further highlights the owner's taste.
But what surprised Lu Qingqing the most was another thing.
As soon as she stepped through the door, she asked 008 to activate the monitoring system.
Originally, Lu Qingqing didn't want to open it. Firstly, she felt dizzy looking at all the data bars. Secondly, she had temporarily hidden her charming physique, so if she kept a low profile, it wouldn't be a big deal if she didn't open it.
But the situation tonight is special, so it is more reliable to use high technology.
As soon as the monitoring system was turned on, something interesting was discovered.
The two servants at the door who were responsible for collecting fees and handing out wooden signs were small and unremarkable, but they were not ordinary people. They had just come to their senses.
The seven or eight guys who were selling items in the house were all cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.
The shopkeeper, who was greeting customers with a kind face, had the same level of cultivation as Lu Qingqing;
Even the shopkeeper is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, so the owner of Jubao Tower must be at a higher level, probably at least above the Golden Core stage.
No wonder Jubao Tower has been able to grow its business to such a scale. Ordinary people dare not cause trouble here, and even monks would have some concerns.
In addition to the most concerned cultivation value, the other two values are also quite interesting.
Lu Qingqing originally thought that the newly launched health value was rather useless, but she didn't expect that this data would only appear on monks. Some had full health bars, while others had only 70%.
I even saw one with only 50% of his energy left. That brother was in the early stages of Qi Refining, his face was pale, and it was obvious that he was injured and wanted to buy some good medicine.
As for the favorability values - thanks to Uncle Gui's unique medicine, the favorability values of both men and women present were relatively low.
Lu Qingqing scanned the hall and was very satisfied with the results. One man wearing a ghost mask in particular had a negative impression of her, even 0.
It would be great if everyone’s favorability was the same as this big brother’s.
……etc.
This moon-colored gown...
Turning his eyes to the man's waist, the piece of beautiful jade with unique carvings was particularly eye-catching.
Lu Qingqing remembered, wasn't this the ordinary-looking man she met in the clothing store?
This young man, who has reached the late Jindan stage, actually came to the auction?
At this moment, he used a mask to cover his extremely ordinary facial features. His upright posture and outstanding temperament made him stand out among the crowd.
A handsome guy with an ancient atmosphere.
These words popped up in Lu Qingqing's mind for no reason.
Moreover, this young man, whose head could be eaten, inexplicably made her feel a sense of déjà vu.
"Lord...Qingqing."
Shozuki spoke, forcibly pulling her thoughts back from the point of running to Mars.
"What's wrong?"
"It seems very lively over there, shall we go and take a look?"
Following the direction Songzhu pointed, there was a sales counter hidden in the corner, surrounded by many men.
The auction has not started yet, and some guests go to the third floor to have tea and rest, while others are still shopping and strolling on the first floor.
Since Shochiku is interested, let's go and have a look.
Before I even got close, I heard the counter clerk's slightly exaggerated voice.
"Gentlemen, this set of Spring Festival pictures is not the common stuff you find in bookstores. It's only sold in Jubaolou."
The man in the tiger mask was curious, "What's different about the springtime paintings in your treasure land?"
The waiter smiled ambiguously, "That's a good question, sir. Someone has cast a spell on this atlas of ours. Under the light, the figures can move and appear lifelike. If you don't believe me, let me show you."
Lu Qingqing also became interested and wanted to see how it moved. Was it similar to an animation?
As soon as she took a step, the admiring voices of the surrounding men made her brake suddenly.
"It's truly a wonderful and vivid thing! With it, there's no need to worry about boredom in the boudoir!"
"It is indeed more detailed and wonderful than those in the bookstore."
"These positions are amazing. I'm going to try them with my wife when I get home tonight."
…So this is the way to “enjoy spring”.
Songzhu wanted to rush forward, but was pulled back by Lu Qingqing.
"Qingqing, I want to see the little man move." He looked expectant.
"You can't look at it, or you'll get stye."
Songzhu said pitifully: "Oh."
Lu Qingqing ignored the cybergolden retriever's gaze and quickly took him away from the scene.
In addition to the counter in the corner, other counters selling things in the lobby on the first floor are also quite busy.
Some are looking at jewelry, some are appraising antiques, and some are buying medicinal herbs. Everyone is very busy.
Although Lu Qingqing didn't know much about antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as a cultivator she could tell that the medicinal herbs and supplements were all top-quality goods. The things sold in the shops on the street could not be compared with what was sold here.
"Is there anything you want?" Lu Qingqing asked Song Zhu.
Songzhu said with anticipation: "I want to see the little guy."
“…” Why are you thinking about this?
Forget it, let’s not watch the fun. Let’s go to the third floor and wait quietly for the auction to start.
Jubao Building has four floors in total. Various items are sold on the first floor, and the second floor is the warehouse, where the shopkeeper and several key employees also stay at night.
The third floor is dedicated to auctions and is open three days a month.
The fourth floor is the most mysterious. It is said that only the owner of Jubao Tower, his housekeeper, shopkeeper and very important guests can enter.
When Lu Qingqing and Song Zhu arrived at the third floor, there were already a few people sitting there.
The design here is very simple, with a platform in the middle for auctions, and seats under the platform and in slightly higher areas around it.
The advantage of sitting under the stage is that you are close to it and can see the auction items clearly; sitting around the stage is away from the crowd and is quieter.
Of course Lu Qingqing chose the latter.
She originally wanted to find a seat in the corner, but unfortunately someone got there first, so she could only find an empty seat to sit down.
The small table was filled with exquisite snacks, both sweet and savory; there were also seasonal fresh fruits and Jingxian's famous iced drinks for guests to taste, which was quite thoughtful.
Seeing that the guests had sat down, the servant came quickly to serve tea.
Lu Qingqing can tell the best Longjing tea just by smelling it.
The auction had not yet started, and in order to prevent the guests who arrived early from getting bored, Jubaolou arranged for several graceful dancers to perform on the stage.
Although Songzhu was thinking about the "little man's book", he also knew to be obedient and sat quietly beside it.
Most of the guests took off their masks to drink tea and eat snacks. Lu Qingqing didn't plan to eat, so she didn't move.
Suddenly a breeze blew by, making me feel inexplicably refreshed.
Lu Qingqing subconsciously turned her head, only to see the young man in a moon-white robe and a ghost mask sitting at the table next to her.
Sure enough, I came here to shop.
At this moment, this "handsome guy with an ancient atmosphere" raised his head and met Lu Qingqing's gaze.
The eyes that emerged from the mask were ordinary, yet they held a cold and deep light.
Lu Qingqing pretended nothing happened and looked away, but cursed herself in her heart.
Are you sick? Why do you go to see others?
Seeing that more and more people were entering the auction hall, people took seats on both sides of Lu Qingqing.
The table on the left is for ordinary people, but the table on the right is a bit impressive.
One was an early Jindan cultivator, the other in the late Foundation Establishment stage. Both were tall and slender, dressed in white. One had loose hair, the other tied up. They wore identical handsome masks and exuded a fragrant aroma.
But her temperament is completely opposite to her appearance, with a hint of evil charm, especially the fragrance that makes people feel inexplicably disgusted.
Lu Qingqing raised her hand to touch her nose and frowned.
Unexpectedly, this subtle movement turned out to be an extremely beautiful scene in the eyes of others.
The white veil of Lu Qingqing's cone-shaped hat was hazy and misty under the light, and the pair of watery eyes that shone through the veil were sparkling and very charming.
Even if you only see her eyes, you can tell that she is an absolute beauty.
The beauty didn't smile, but rather frowned slightly, which actually added a bit of charm to her.
The man in white with his hair tied up felt a lump in his throat and couldn't help but speak.
"My surname is Wei. May I know your name, young lady?"
Lu Qingqing: "No."
The man in white clothes with his hair tied up seemed to have never encountered such a setback before and was choked for a moment.
The man with disheveled hair next to him reacted first, in a bad tone.
"Brother asked your name because he thinks highly of you. Many women want to curry favor with us, but it's impossible. I advise you not to be ungrateful."
Lu Qingqing was too lazy to pay attention to him.
The man with tied hair winked at the man with loose hair, who snorted coldly and shut up.
"Girl, I have no ill intentions. I just want to be friends with you." The man with the tied hair spoke in a slow tone, with a hint of self-righteousness.
Lu Qingqing: "No need."
After being rejected twice in a row by a female cultivator who was in the foundation-building stage, the man with tied hair felt a little embarrassed.
He said sarcastically, "You're wrapped up like this, so you must be an ugly freak, right? I want to see what you look like today."
As he said that, he took out a fan and attacked Lu Qingqing!
Lu Qingqing thought to herself, this is terrible.
If she faces a Jindan cultivator now, she will die.
But she didn't want to be teased by such a hooligan, so she made up her mind and decided to fight him.
Unexpectedly, before the man's fan reached Lu Qingqing, a silver light flashed, and the man with tied hair screamed and the fan in his hand fell to the ground.
Lu Qingqing looked over and saw that the table on the left was occupied by ordinary merchants, and to the left of the left sat the young man wearing a ghost mask.
He was sitting upright in a chair at this moment, his eyes indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
The man with the tied-up hair flew into a rage and picked up the silver coins. "Who's meddling in other people's business?!"
He actually knew who had ruined the good thing, and he also knew that the other party's cultivation was higher than his, so he didn't dare to go forward rashly and could only curse.
Unexpectedly, the man lost his temper.
"Don't think that we won't do anything to you just because you are a Jindan cultivator!" He took out a whip and rushed in front of the brave young man.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, a deep voice came with pressure.
"The auction will begin soon, please take your seats."
