"The City Lord's birthday is celebrated by tens of thousands of demons. This ticket can be said to be hard to obtain. Who knows how many mayors and village heads want to take this opportunity to see the City Lord's heavenly face. As long as you have this ticket, you can calmly enter and present the gift to the City Lord … "
"Servile." Yan Ping coldly snorted.
Ye Kong said, "You can't blame him. People walk to higher places and water flows to lower places. Who doesn't want to be promoted and make a fortune?"
Yan Ping coldly snorted, "Immortal cultivators should ascend to immortality as their only pursuit. How can they be like mortals in the secular world, pursuing useless things like fame and fortune?"
Ye Kong shook his head, "Senior, you are wrong. These are not useless things. Look at those begging demon cultivators. They have no fame and fortune, no spirit stones, and no Water of Transformation. Their cultivation is so difficult, while those rich young masters can easily build their foundation. Can you still say that these fame and fortune are useless things? "
Yan Ping was speechless. After a while, he snorted, "Just a sharp tongue."
While they were bickering, the auction had already begun.
"Ten thousand spirit stones!"
"Eleven thousand!"
"Twenty thousand!"
"Thirty thousand!"
It seemed that there were many people interested in this thing. The voices of bidding rose one after another. As soon as someone raised their bid, a higher price appeared. In a short while, the price was raised to a high of one hundred thousand spirit stones.
Ye Kong was also determined to get this thing. Currently, he could not enter the City Lord's Mansion, nor did he have the strength to force his way in. Therefore, if he could win this invitation ticket and sneak into the mansion to see Dayu, that would be the best way.
"Two hundred thousand spirit stones!"
Finally, under the shout of a demon cultivator, the scene became somewhat quiet.
This price was obviously very high. After all, even if they met the City Lord, they might not be able to do anything. On that night, there would definitely be many guests in the City Lord's Mansion. It was hard to say whether they could even speak a word to the City Lord.
The black cloaked man who shouted two hundred thousand spirit stones stood up and looked around with some pride. In his opinion, there were not many people who were willing to spend two hundred thousand spirit stones to see the City Lord.
But in the back corner, the black cloaked man raised his hand and lightly said, "Three hundred thousand."
"Hua." The black cloaks all looked back. Was it worth it to spend 300,000 spirit stones just to see the City Lord?
The bidder was none other than Ye Kong. When he called out, Yan Ping couldn't help but be puzzled. "What? You also want to curry favor with that guy and become a Village Chief?"
Of course, Ye Kong would not tell him the truth, so he nodded and said, "Yes, am I not qualified to be the village chief?"
"You are very qualified!" Yan Ping coldly snorted. What Ye Kong didn't expect was that after Yan Ping finished speaking, he unexpectedly raised his hand and shouted, "500,000 Spirit Stones!"
"Wow ~" The crowd was shocked once again. What was going on today? These people were really rich. They increased the price by 200,000 in one go!
The one who shouted 200,000 yuan just now quickly sat down. I can't shoot anymore. Are they all crazy?
Ye Kong was also stunned. He didn't expect that Yan Ping would also be interested in that invitation.
"Senior, you also want to curry favor and become a village chief?"
"What? With my status, am I not qualified to be a village chief? "Yan Ping replied.
Ye Kong smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, with your cultivation, you can easily become a town chief. Why do you want to compete with me? Don't joke with me. "
"Who is joking with you!" Yan Ping coldly snorted and said, "Don't compete with me, otherwise I will take your small life!"
The old auctioneer on the other side had already started counting.
"600,000." Ye Kong raised his hand and shouted, and then lowered his voice and said, "Senior, this thing is very important to me. This time, I am determined to get it!"
"1 million!" Yan Ping shouted and also growled, "Boy, this thing is also very important to me! I am warning you, don't compete with me! "
"Senior, you are threatening me again. But this time, I will absolutely not be threatened by you! Even if it is dangerous, I will not retreat. To be honest, I want to go in and see a very important person! "Ye Kong said, raised his hand and shouted," 2 million! "
Yan Ping was furious and said, "Boy, you are courting death! I don't care who you are going to see! In short, my matter is ten thousand times more important than yours! Moreover, I want to remind you that nothing good will happen that night. I advise you not to get involved in this muddy water! "
"5 million!" Yan Ping roared.
When he shouted out this sky-high price, no one in the hall cried out in alarm. Everyone was already numb. Obviously, these two people were madmen.
However, the old auctioneer was worried that these two people did not have enough Spirit Stones. 5 million, this was not a small number.
The old auctioneer reminded, "Guest, if you do not buy it, then this house will not let you off."
Yan Ping coldly snorted. He patted his storage bag and took out a large black bag. With a crash sound, he threw it on the table. Unexpectedly, it was completely filled with High Grade Spirit Stones.
Seeing the Spirit Stones, the old auctioneer did not speak anymore and shouted towards Ye Kong, "Guest, do you want to bid again?"
In fact, 5 million was not a big deal for Ye Kong, but at this moment, he could not call it out.
Because he and Cao Musse were already under Yan Ping's control.
"5 million going thrice! City Master's birthday invitation will be purchased by this Fellow Daoist! "The old auctioneer knocked down the hammer.
Immediately, Yan Ping paid the Spirit Stones and took away the invitation. Before leaving, he left behind a sentence to Ye Kong, "Little Fellow Daoist, seeing that you and I have some fate together, I advise you to not go!"
With that, Yan Ping flicked his sleeves and walked away.
As soon as he left, Ye Kong also returned to normal.
"Despicable, too despicable! This old bastard! "Ye Kong cursed. Today, he was really depressed to death.
Cao Musse persuaded, "Forget it, let's think of another way. But listening to his tone, I'm afraid that there will be a bad situation that night. "
Ye Kong said, "No matter what, I have to go. I must see Dayu."
Cao Musse nodded, "Then let's think of another way."
Since they didn't get what they wanted, Ye Kong and Cao Musse didn't want to stay any longer. The two of them followed the crowd, left the auction hall, and went straight to the teleportation formation leading outside.
When Ye Kong bid just now, he had already revealed his wealth, so they were very careful. From the teleportation formation, they returned to the second floor of the wooden building. After returning the black cloak to the old puppet outside the formation, the two of them walked out of the small building.
At this moment, the night had passed, and the sky was faintly turning white. A gust of wind blew, rolling up countless fallen leaves on the ground. At this moment, the Black Dragon City was quiet and desolate.
"This way." Ye Kong pulled Cao Musse and walked into an alley. After a short while, a beast cultivator wearing a cyan gown came in.
"Your Excellency, you have followed us for so long, what can I do for you?" The sudden appearance of Ye Kong and Cao Musse blocked this guy in the alley one after the other.
At first, they thought that this guy wanted to kill them and rob their treasures. However, this guy saluted them and said, "Senior, please don't misunderstand. This humble one has come to ask you a question on the order of the Patriarch."
Ye Kong was suspicious, "Question? What is it? "
The man said, "The Patriarch wants to ask if you really want to attend the celebration of the Castellan's birthday. You don't mind paying some spirit stones?"
Ye Kong nodded and said, "Yes!"
The man said with a smile, "Then please follow me. The Patriarch is waiting for you."
Ye Kong and Cao Musse followed him doubtfully. After a short while, they arrived at an inn. A beast cultivator in the middle stage of transformation was standing at the door.
This man was short and fat. He always smiled when he saw people, which made it hard for people to have a bad impression of him. However, his small eyes looked very shrewd.
"My fellow daoists, please come in and talk," the fat man said with a smile.
Facing such an unknown matter, Ye Kong naturally did not dare to be careless. Standing outside the door, he said, "My fellow daoist, if you have something to say, say it here."
The fat man said with a smile, "My fellow daoists, it's my fault that I didn't make it clear. I'm Jin Liang, the general of Lishui Village under the jurisdiction of the Black Dragon City. Just now in the black market, I saw you two want to buy the admission ticket. So I suddenly have an idea to invite you two to enter as my attendants. I wonder if you two would like to? "
As the saying goes, when mountains and rivers are at the end of a rope, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Ye Kong and the others were just worried that Yan Ping had stolen the admission ticket. Now, someone took the initiative to take them in.
Ye Kong was overjoyed. He said with a smile, "Yes, of course."
Jin Liang rubbed his fat hands and said with a smile, "Then I have some requirements …"
Ye Kong said, "We are all straightforward people. My fellow daoist, just name your price."
"Okay! You two, 500,000 spirit stones each. " This guy was really black-hearted. One million spirit stones to take two people. In the Black Dragon City, one million spirit stones could buy anything.
However, Ye Kong did not bargain. He nodded and said, "Okay! I'll give you one million spirit stones as long as you take me in! "
Jin Liang was also overjoyed. He said with a smile, "Okay! You are both straightforward people! " He continued, "However, I only care about bringing the two of you inside. After we go in, we'll pay the spirit stones and part ways. As for what you do, I don't know, and I don't care. However, don't expect me to help you."
Ye Kong nodded and said, "As long as we can go in, you don't need to do anything else." But after saying that, Ye Kong still had some doubts. "My fellow daoist Jin, I shouldn't ask this question. If we really do something in there, you won't be able to escape responsibility in the future. Why are you so relaxed?"
Jin Liang said with a smile, "If I take you in, how can I survive in the Black Dragon City? So, one million spirit stones is not a lot. "
He did not expect that Jin Liang had such an idea. He would take Ye Kong in and then run away with the one million spirit stones.
Ye Kong asked again, "Is it worth it to give up your current identity for one million spirit stones?"
Jin Liang said with a smile, "My fellow daoist, don't doubt me. I don't get along well with the housekeeper of the Mansion of the Governor. Many people know that. Even without the one million spirit stones, I wouldn't want to attend this birthday party. Besides, I've already found the way. My fellow daoist, don't worry. Just follow me in."
Ye Kong nodded immediately. "Okay, thank you. Don't worry, my one million spirit stones won't be a penny less."
Jin Liang said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not worried at all. When I saw your heroic spirit at the auction, I knew you wouldn't go back on your word. That's why I'm willing to cooperate with you."
After the matter was settled, Ye Kong and Jin Liang chatted for a while. Unexpectedly, Jin Liang was familiar with the Mansion of the Governor. Not only did he draw a sketch for Ye Kong, but he also pointed out the place where the Shapeshifting Water was produced.
Ye Kong did not covet the Shapeshifting Water. However, since Jin Liang had mentioned it, Ye Kong paid attention to it. If it was convenient, he would not mind getting a little of it.
