The auction ended.
By relying on the Life Juice Source, not only did Xiao Chen not spend a single cent, but after deducting his expenses, he even obtained two million Medial Grade Spirit Jades.
"Young Master Xiao, do you really not need me to introduce you? The Soaring Dragon Pavilion is very curious about Young Master Xiao obtaining the Life Juice Source. "
The pretty maidservant, Xiao Yu, blinked her eyes and looked at Xiao Chen delicately.
The originally hot and seductive maid suddenly became like a lotus flower in clear water, making one feel tender and lovable.
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "I exchanged my life for it. There's nothing to be curious about. We'll meet again if fate allows it!"
Xiao Chen was not very interested in the Soaring Dragon Pavilion's invitation, so he could only reject the beauty's kind intentions.
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment. She did not expect Xiao Chen to reject her so decisively. She smiled and said, "Have a safe journey. I hope we will meet again in the future."
"Goodbye."
After exchanging greetings, Xiao Chen put away the Dragon Pattern Cauldron and left.
Outside the gates, he coincidentally ran into Jiang He.
He had a cocky smile on his face as he toyed with the jade bottle containing the Life Juice Source in his hand, attracting the attention of many people.
It was hard not to notice such a high-profile and casual action.
Ignoring the dissatisfied gazes, Jiang He strode toward Xiao Chen and smiled. "God of Fortune — no, Brother Xiao, congratulations on obtaining the cauldron!"
Xiao Chen said with a smile, "You're too polite. You're not bad yourself. You gained quite a lot. You even dare to oppose the people from the Princess's Mansion. How courageous of you! "
When Ling Yu saw that Jiang He was a conman, Jiang He, did not even bat an eyelid.
In terms of acting skills, Martial Uncle was still better!
This fellow thought that he had fooled his Martial Uncle and was very pleased with himself. However, Xiao Chen did not know that the Life Juice Source in his hand was put up for auction by his martial uncle.
Jiang He laughed out loud. "It's fine, it's fine. The people of the Cluster Lord's Residence are nothing. How about it? Do you need Life Juice Source? I'll share some with you. I can't give you more than half a tael. That's not a problem. "
Ling Yu nearly could not hold back his laughter. After all, his martial uncle had given him fifty kilograms of Life Juice Source.
How could he have the cheek to give away half a tael?
That was what Jiang He was thinking. No matter what, he had to screw over Xiao Chen. He felt somewhat apologetic. Without the other party's Spirit Jades, he would not have been able to bid for it.
Half a tael was a sign of gratitude.
"What? Don't be so polite with me. Otherwise, it means that you don't treat me as a friend."
Seeing that Xiao Chen was silent, Jiang He deliberately put on a serious face and emphasized his tone.
Xiao Chen showed a somewhat embarrassed expression. You gave me two million Spirit Jades, yet you want me to accept your Life Juice Source? How can I accept that?
"Don't. Treat us to a drink. After all, you spent a lot on the Life Juice Source," Xiao Chen said after some consideration.
Jiang He laughed out loud. "Haha, what a brother! Come, let's go to the Smiling Daughter Pavilion. My treat. "
Xiao Chen muttered to himself. The name sounded like a romantic place.
Smiling Daughter Pavilion:
It wasn't a brothel, but compared to ordinary restaurants, there were more elegant performers playing musical instruments.
True to its name, the Smile of a Thousand Gold, one would have to pay an extremely high price to obtain the company of these performers.
As for the Smile of a Thousand Gold, it was one of the top three establishments in the Yanwu Dynasty's capital. It had sufficient charm and fame to attract the outstanding talents to spend large sums of money here.
The famous performers could even incite the scions to fight over them, all for the sake of a beautiful woman's smile and showing off before others.
In Soaring Dragon City, this kind of thing happened frequently.
However, Xiao Chen rarely went to such places, so he did not know much about them.
The Smile of a Thousand Gold had a total of eight floors. The higher one went, the more one needed to spend. For the sake of showing off one's wealth and status, the outstanding talents who came here would do their best to go to a higher floor.
Clearly, this was not Jiang He's first time here. He smiled at the maidservant and said, "To the sixth floor!"
The sixth floor was the highest floor that ordinary people could go to. Any higher and required special status and invitations.
"Our Smile of a Thousand Gold is the best restaurant in the nearby dozens of astral clusters. As long as one has enough Spirit Jades, beautiful performers can personally serve you."
That maidservant did not hide anything from Xiao Chen and Ling Yu. She smiled charmingly, causing Ling Yu to blush slightly.
Xiao Chen's expression did not change as he entered the elegant room and sat down. An exquisite landscape painting hung on the wall behind him. The painting was exquisite. Xiao Chen did not know which mountain it was, but it gave the illusion that he was there.
When sitting at the back, it felt like a wind blew and clouds drifted around him. It was very wondrous.
The decorations were elegant and refined, giving off a unique charm.
This pavilion is indeed extraordinary, Xiao Chen thought. It is indeed extraordinary to be able to attract outstanding talents to spend so much money here.
Jiang He asked that maidservant in a familiar manner, "Are there any headliners today?"
"Reporting to Young Master, today is the Luo River Water Flower Day. The ten headliners will take turns appearing!"
The maidservant smiled faintly, answering as she served wine.
Jiang He's eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "Interesting. Brothers, you came at the right time. I should have guessed it. The Soaring Dragon Pavilion just held a large-scale auction, and the Smiling Daughter Pavilion's Luo River Water Flower Day will be brought forward. "
After that, Jiang He waved his hand and said, "You can withdraw first. Remember to arrange for four performers with exquisite zither skills and three pretty ladies to drink with us."
The maidservant nodded and withdrew.
Ling Yu asked in confusion, "What is the Luo River Water Flower Day?"
Jiang He explained with a smile, "Normally, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion will only occasionally have a headliner appear. After they perform, they will have people bid for them. The Luo River Water Flower Day occurs only once every three months. The ten headliners take turns performing, each displaying their skills. It is very rare to see them. "
Ling Yu's lips curled up as he said, "They are just some performers. Why would they care so much about them?"
"You don't understand." Jiang He clinked cups with Xiao Chen. Then, he said, "The ten headliners are all extremely beautiful and have their own charm. Furthermore, their cultivations are all higher than yours. In terms of talent and air, there is no need to mention them. They have been practicing this since they were young. In the Yanwu Dynasty's capital, the top ten performers have countless experts working for them with just a word. "
Ling Yu was startled when he heard this, feeling dubious.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Aside from the three thousand Great Dao, there were also eight hundred side paths. Indeed, there were people who could comprehend the Dao from music. However, without experiencing killing and walking the line between life and death, no matter how high one's cultivation was, one would just be a pretty face.
However, Xiao Chen had not seen any experts of the Great Thousand Realms that cultivated the Music Dao. He wanted to see how strong the so-called headliners of the Smiling Daughter Pavilion were.
Jiang He said, "Aside from this, this Smiling Daughter Pavilion is definitely the place where news spreads the fastest in the Soaring Dragon Great Realm. Many secrets and recent major events can be heard here."
With a thought, Xiao Chen discovered that there were no restrictions in the neighboring rooms.
As long as one paid attention, one could clearly hear the news being discussed.
"Recently, more and more bladesmen came to the Dragon Flame Ancient Land. I believe that after the Soaring Dragon Pavilion's auction ends, there will be more cultivators heading to the Dragon Flame Ancient Land."
"The Dragon Flame Ancient Land is the land of fortuitous encounters in the Soaring Dragon Great Realm that attracts the most geniuses and outstanding talents. Not only can one find the Dragon Race's ancient treasures, but one can also exchange moves with people of the same generation for experiential training. Where else can one find such a place?"
"Actually, not really. The various astral clusters have similar experiential training lands. However, they are not like the Soaring Dragon Great Realm, which can attract the outstanding talents of the dozens of nearby astral clusters."
Xiao Chen casually listened and heard something that interested him.
Dragon Race's ancient treasures and the gathering of experts of the same generation!
If there was an opportunity, he would have to ask around about the Dragon Flame Ancient Land. This was the time when he needed experiential training.
Soon, four performers entered the private room. After they bowed slightly, zither music slowly rang out.
There were also three pretty girls sitting obediently at the side, pouring wine and chatting with them.
After three rounds of wine, the sound of clear flowing water rang out on the eighth floor of the Smiling Daughter Pavilion.
Xiao Chen looked up and saw mist spreading above. Amid the hazy mist, he saw a flower boat drifting over, approaching from afar. The ethereal zither music, the clear water, and the hazy mist stirred one's imagination.
All of a sudden, the clamor from all the floors quieted down.
Everyone knew that the real show was about to start. All they needed to do was wait.
As the flower boat approached, it was like a painting slowly unfurling. When the mist scattered, a young maidservant walked out of the flower boat. She looked exquisite and obedient, dressed in white.
Amidst the mist, she was as pure as a fairy, making one feel tender and lovable.
The young maidservant carried a flower basket and took out a green medallion. As she stood on the flower boat, she said in a condescending manner, "The first headliner to appear tonight is Miss Ling Long, a green medallion. Miss Ling Long excels at dancing the pipa. She was once the music teacher of the Yanwu Dynasty's Little Princess. She has been in the palace for three years and is well-read. She is very knowledgeable and has studied Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism … "
This was Ling Yu's first time seeing such a lineup. This broadened his horizons and shocked him. He whispered to Jiang He, "Big Brother Jiang, what do red and green medallions mean?"
Jiang He burst into laughter and said, "You are still young. Don't ask such questions. Don't say anything. Miss Ling Long will be coming out soon. "
