(Last night, Dark Mountain was very touched. I would like to thank Fengxing Yu for his ten thousand coins and monthly votes. I would like to thank all my brothers and sisters for their monthly votes, recommendation votes and support. I want to let Dark Mountain know that there are still many brothers and sisters supporting Dark Mountain and Proud Heaven! Thank you! Right now, the monthly votes are still very tight. I would like to ask all my brothers and sisters who still have monthly votes and recommendation votes to continue supporting Dark Mountain! Fight until the end of the new month! Thank you very much!) "Little brother Chen Hao, I am the manager of the Ni family. I have a pretty good Purple Crystal Jade. I hope that you can carve it for Old Man. I guarantee that you will be satisfied with the price …"
"Little brother, I am the manager of the Li family …"
"Little brother, I am from the Mu family …"
A few old men surrounded Chen Hao, scrambling to be the first to introduce themselves. Their old faces were like blooming chrysanthemums, smiling brilliantly as they pulled Chen Hao incomparably affectionately, wanting to be the first to snatch him to their own clan. Every single one of these old men had an illustrious status and high cultivation. They were all in charge of purchasing in their respective families. The weakest among them was a rank nine Martial Emperor. The three old men from the three top families of the empire were even Martial Ancestor Realm.
During the auction of the Purple Crystal Jade Sculpture, when the two old men said that they wanted to privately invite Chen Hao, Chen Hao had anticipated that such a scene would occur. However, he did not expect that there would be so many people who wanted to tear him into pieces.
"Seniors, you can't fight like this. In three months, little brother Chen Hao will participate in the New Talent Competition. In this period of time, he will definitely need to concentrate on his cultivation. You should know that carving requires inspiration. Only when inspiration bursts forth can one carve a true top quality item … Shu Ya has a suggestion. I wonder if the seniors would like to hear it? "
Shu Ya rushed to Chen Hao and interrupted the chaotic fight between the old men. Her face was brimming with a confident smile as she spoke.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Chen Hao and continued, "Of course, this requires little brother Chen Hao's approval …"
"Manager Shu Ya, speak!" Chen Hao said with a calm expression.
It was just a few people's carvings. If Chen Hao really wanted to do it, it wouldn't take much time at all. Furthermore, he could earn a huge sum of money, so why not? But Shu Ya's words were obviously very convincing, making the few old men quiet down. This also made Chen Hao realize Shu Ya's weight.
"Okay, then Shu Ya will be frank. With little brother Chen Hao's carving skills, it's really rare. According to Shu Ya's understanding, I'm afraid that only the nameless old man who shook the entire Eastern Continent a hundred years ago is better than you. It's a pity that the Nameless Old Man is so elusive that he hasn't appeared for a hundred years … "
"Yes, yes. The Old Man had seen the Nameless Old Man's carving before. It was indeed peerless and unparalleled. According to the records, there is nothing in the world that cannot be carved by the Nameless Old Man's saber. Even a well-tempered and indestructible sword or even a spirit weapon is like tofu under his saber. He can easily carve any runes or patterns … It's a pity that no one knows the real name of the Nameless Old Man, let alone where he is … "Old Man Mu said.
"The Nameless Old Man?" When Chen Hao heard Old Man Mu say "there is nothing in the world that cannot be carved", his eyes flashed with a glimmer of light and his heart trembled fiercely. It gave him a strong feeling that this Nameless Old Man from a hundred years ago was very likely to be related to his mysterious father. The carving skills that his father taught him were most likely from the Nameless Old Man!
"That's right. The Nameless Old Man is the spiritual ancestor of the carving world and is already a mythical figure that countless people believe in. In the world, there are several treasures of the Nameless Old Man, all of which are priceless treasures! It's not just a collection value, but it's also said that the Nameless Old Man's works contain the laws of heaven and have endless magical uses for cultivators. And your carving skills … Shu Ya can feel that it's already beyond the scope of an ordinary carving master … So, Shu Ya sincerely hopes that you can be the chief carving master of our Xuanwu Auction House! With your carving skills, you will definitely bring great benefits to our empire … "
"This … Manager Shu Ya, carving is just my hobby. My ambition is martial arts, forgive me … "
"Brother Chen Hao, don't worry, wait for Shu Ya to finish. Shu Ya naturally knows that martial arts is your true pursuit. The chief carving master that Shu Ya mentioned has a revered status and will not easily make a move. He won't make a move even once in a year or so. If you don't want to make a move, we won't force you. You are completely free. Moreover, Shu Ya guarantees that you can bring great wealth to yourself and make your cultivation smoother … "
"Ahem … Manager Shu Ya, I'm afraid this won't work, right? The few of us are still waiting … This method of yours has to be … "
"Seniors, don't worry. Whatever you want to carve and what you want to carve, just talk to my Senior Sister. Before the rookie competition starts, I will try my best to help you. Each person is limited to one carving. How about it? "Chen Hao said.
"Sure, sure …" Old Man Mu and the others immediately said excitedly.
"As for Manager Shu Ya's words, if that's really the case, it's fine. You can also talk to my Senior Sister about the specifics … This is my Senior Sister, Yunfeiyan, the manager of our Zhenyuan Kingdom's Liuyun Chamber of Commerce."
As Chen Hao spoke, he pushed the dazed Yunfeiyan to the front and introduced her to the crowd.
Yunfeiyan quickly regained her composure and smiled at the crowd, saying, "It's already late today. How about I come to the auction house tomorrow at noon and talk to Senior Shu Ya and the other seniors?"
"Okay, okay, no problem …" The old men hurriedly responded.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Shu Ya smiled and gently shook Yunfeiyan's hand.
…
After returning to their residence and leaving Dongfang Jun and Dongfang Jian behind, Yunfeiyan, who had been suppressing the excitement in her heart, followed Chen Hao into the room and immediately hugged him. Before Chen Hao could react, she kissed Chen Hao on the cheek and said, "Junior Brother, you're too awesome … That's great … Senior Sister can't wait to repay you with her body …"
"Ahem …" Chen Hao touched the cheek that Yunfeiyan kissed and said, "Senior Sister, can you not be so enthusiastic?"
"Haha … Are you shy? Don't think that Senior Sister is a casual woman. Senior Sister is only enthusiastic about the person she likes … What's wrong with your eyes? Senior Sister only likes you so far … When I say like, I mean like a big sister to a little brother. Don't misunderstand. Senior Sister doesn't want to steal you from Xiaowu … Haha … Okay, no more jokes, let's get down to business. If you have any requests, tell Senior Sister so that when we talk tomorrow, I will have an idea … "
"First, guarantee my absolute freedom. Second, accept all the carvings that those few old men want. The price will be based on the price of today's auction, just a little lower. You will get 5% of all the income. The rest will be given to Xiao Family's Old Xiao. Third, when you talk to Shu Ya, maximize the benefits. I believe that she will give me what I deserve. You should mainly consider the long-term interests of the kingdom. For example, what kind of agreement between the Liuyun Chamber of Commerce and Xuanwu Auction House, etc. With me as the bargaining chip, I believe that she will agree. "
What made Yunfeiyan surprised was that Chen Hao did not even think about it and said it directly to the bottom of her heart.
"Good. I guarantee that you will be satisfied … Think again, do you have anything else to add? "Yunfeiyan stared at Chen Hao and said after being stunned for a moment.
"No. Senior Sister. Ask Shu Ya to help me gather information about the nameless old man, the more detailed the better … "
"En. No problem. Junior Brother, can we start now? "
"Start what?" Seeing Yunfeiyan coming over with an extremely charming smile, Chen Hao hurriedly stepped back and said.
"You promised to help me carve the Purple Thorn Jade Pendant …"
"We'll talk about it tomorrow. The Hall Master and Uncle Huang should be back from the Imperial Palace in a while. You can discuss with them. They will return to the kingdom tomorrow. If you go back by yourself, I'm afraid it will be dangerous. Tonight, I have to help Xiao Mo … "
"And Xiao Qing!" Yunfeiyan said.
"En. Then let's go to Senior Sister Fang Qing's place first. Take me there! "
…
An hour later, Chen Hao and Yunfeiyan walked out of Fang Qing's cultivation room together. Fang Qing had a strong spiritual force. Although her soul was damaged by using the secret method, Chen Hao still easily injected the spiritual force containing the energy of the five elements into her mind through the Mysterious Yellow Ring. Whether she could comprehend it or not depended on herself.
The reason why he asked Yunfeiyan to guard her was that Fang Qing was not Helian Wuzi after all. Chen Hao had to be careful.
Then, after a full two hours, Chen Hao finally came out of Mo Yuyi's room. Before leaving, he left behind 10,000 pill tickets for Rank 8 Spirit Pills. If Mo Yuyi used them purely for cultivation, they would be enough for several years.
After doing all this, it was already after dawn. When walking out of Mo Yuyi's room, Chen Hao showed a faint smile and walked slowly to his room.
In the late summer night, the cool wind blew gently. Perhaps because of his mood, Chen Hao's footsteps became slower and slower. Finally, he stopped, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the bright and deep starry sky.
A full moon hung high in the sky, and the faint, cold moonlight poured on his body. Chen Hao's eyes were like the stars in the night sky, becoming distant and deep.
In this life, he still wanted to set foot on the peak and look down on the world. But he would never be the cold-hearted and self-enclosed him again.
He had relatives, friends, and a woman who moved his heart. His happiness and glory were shared with others. He was no longer alone …
No one could stop his footsteps, but for the people around him, it was necessary to stop for a while. He hoped that they could keep up with his footsteps. So, he did what he thought he should do.
The rookie competition was just the beginning!
The stars were bright, and if he wanted to stand out, he still had a long way to go!
Staring at the moon in the night sky, which was three times bigger than the moon on Earth, Chen Hao seemed to see Helian Wuzi's cold and beautiful face under the moonlight.
"I understand … I will … Little Mo and I will work hard …"
Helian Wuzi's implicit but firm words couldn't help but appear in Chen Hao's mind.
"Creak …"
The sound of the door opening broke the silence of the night, making Chen Hao come back to his senses and turn his head to look.
White as snow, cold as the moon. Helian Wuzi's beautiful figure appeared at the door, staring at Chen Hao.
Their gazes intertwined, as if it was the first time they met on the arena. Sparks of electricity were aroused, making Chen Hao and Helian Wuzi's hearts tremble at the same time!
