Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss Chapter 2748

Chapter 2748

2748 A fellow who takes advantage of his seniority

The carriage stopped in front of an old house. The moment she got off the carriage, Ling Chuxi could smell the rich fragrance of spiritual herbs and feel the waves of spiritual energy emitted by natural treasures.

Many men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes were entering the house in twos and threes. Compared to the auction in the afternoon at the pillheart Pavilion, the heavenly treasure meet was much more deserted.

After all, the entry requirements of the heavenly treasures Chamber of Commerce were not low. Not only could only disciples of fifth-rank aristocratic families, but they also had to hold the monarch’s token or a letter written by the head of the family. The requirements for individual cultivators were also above the monarch level. Not everyone was qualified to enter. As for the so-called ident.i.ty restriction of the pill Heart Pavilion, it was just an excuse.

After verifying their ident.i.ties, the few of them entered the house.

In the wide open square, there were many long tables with some strange items on them. Although not all of them were heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they were all rare items. The heavenly treasure meet had not officially started, but many people had already begun to trade in private.

Even though these people’s voices were not loud, their expressions were somewhat excited. The items they were trading were all items that had not been appraised by an appraiser. Whether it was the seller or the buyer, they actually did not know what it was, and they could only rely on their experience and intuition. It could make a person rich overnight, but it could also make a person go bankrupt in an instant.

Ling Chuxi noticed that the cultivations of these people who were making private transactions were not too high. They must have limited financial resources and wanted to rely on this gamble, which could be considered a Grand gamble to them, to change their fate for the rest of their lives.

In the crowd, there were a few old men wearing black robes with golden threads. From time to time, someone would respectfully step forward and bow. These people had arrogant expressions and only gave perfunctory hums, not even looking at them.

“They are appraisers. Although their cultivation is not high and they don’t know how to refine elixirs or weapons, their status is no less than that of spirit alchemists and spirit blacksmiths. In terms of family background, they are even richer than spirit alchemists and spirit blacksmiths.” Xia Yimin introduced Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen to each other.

So this was an appraiser. Ling Chuxi couldn’t help but look at the few of them.

“The appraiser in the front is named Zhou. People call him one glance sky. It means that when you ask him to inspect a treasure, he doesn’t even need to look at it a second time. He can tell the history and use of all the treasures in the world with one look. He is very famous in the Qing-Yun realm.” Xia Yimin whispered.

As they walked in front of him, Pavilion master Meng stepped forward and bowed to the old man. He smiled and said,””Grandmaster Zhou, even after so many years, you’re still as elegant as ever.”

“Little Meng, it’s been a few years since we last met, but you’re still the same.” Master Zhou didn’t return the greeting and spoke like an elder.

Ling Chuxi found it strange. This Master Zhou did not look much older than Pavilion master Meng, but he had to put on such an old-fas.h.i.+oned att.i.tude, yet Pavilion master Meng was not angry.

“I wonder how old master Zhou has been doing. I’ve been busy with the pillheart Pavilion’s Affairs all these years and have had no time to visit the old master. I’m ashamed to think that I didn’t serve him well after he pa.s.sed away despite being a sinecure of my pillheart Pavilion and a close friend of my grandfather.” Pavilion master Meng said apologetically.

“Thank you for your concern, my father is doing well.” Master Zhou said.

Only then did Ling Chuxi know that the pill Heart Pavilion and the Zhou family actually had such a relations.h.i.+p. Master Zhou’s father and Pavilion head Meng’s grandfather were close friends, so his seniority was naturally one generation higher than the Meng Pavilion. No wonder this fellow took advantage of his seniority.
