Chapter 1990 Hard to Forget
After hearing this, Qu Jianlei understood a little, "Among the items being auctioned today, some were provided by old friends?"
"Of course," Duan Bowen said, with a half-smile on his face, "Repair fluid...is it their turn to sell it?"
Although he makes a living by smuggling, he doesn't deal in particularly unconventional materials.
It's good to make a profit from the price difference of daily necessities. It doesn't cause trouble, nor does it steal other people's jobs. It's not conspicuous, but you can still make a lot of money.
But when he heard about the repair fluid being auctioned, he really couldn't keep calm - who the hell is so bold?
It would be fine if no one does this business, but if someone does it, it can only be him!
The source of the repair fluid is Hongye Ridge. Who could have a better relationship with it than him?
He accepted such an auction occasionally, but this was already the second time.
When Duan Bowen parted ways with Hongyeling, he actually felt a little reluctant.
But this was agreed upon before we smuggled across the border. Once we arrived in Zhongzhou, we would each do our own thing and not affect each other.
At first, in Duan Bowen's eyes, Hongyeling was indeed very strong, but it also hid many secrets, which meant possible trouble.
He is engaged in foreign trade, and it is an informal one. There are many potential troubles in itself, and I really don't want to make any more trouble.
So even though he saw the toes of the Tiger Man Great Lord and realized the power of the Nascent Soul Spirit, he finally chose to fulfill his promise.
But after hearing the news about the repair fluid, Duan Bowen really regretted it.
This is not just because of how much profit the repair fluid can bring him.
The key to the problem is that this business should belong to him both morally and logically.
That competitor was obviously also engaged in foreign trade, and this kind of informal foreign trade business attaches great importance to the scope of business.
Duan Bowen never steals business from his peers and is always low-key in his work, but he cannot tolerate others taking food from him.
As long as you are engaged in foreign trade, every one of you can choose not to cause trouble, but you must never be afraid of trouble!
When they start fighting seriously, each one of them is more ruthless than the other. Once others know that you are a coward, your career will be over.
Unfortunately, when Duan Bowen parted ways with Hongyeling, all he wanted was to forget each other.
He helped the other party to smuggle just to fulfill his promise and repay Zhu Jiayi's favor, that's all.
So much so that when he wanted to contact Lord Qu Ling who had arrived in Zhongzhou, he didn't know where to find him.
When they parted, he explained how to get back to Dongsheng, which were two other smuggling routes, and he asked Master Qu Ling to contact them himself.
He has done his best by bringing Qu Jianlei to Zhongzhou. Since they want to forget each other, don't bother them anymore in the future.
Just a while ago, Duan Bowen contacted those two lines and learned that there was no news about Lord Qu Ling, so he really could not get in touch with them anymore.
So he had no choice but to take the risk and come to Daye City to try to find out what the person who was trying to steal his business was doing.
At this moment, he saw Qu Jianlei in the spectator area, feeling both a little surprised and a little expected.
Hongyeling is the real owner of the repair fluid. It is normal for Lord Quling to come and investigate when he knows that someone is secretly reselling it, right?
No matter what, he was still very happy to see the long-lost people from Hongyeling again.
But then he realized something and looked at Jing Yuexin in astonishment, "You... haven't been in the spirit beast bag this whole time, have you?"
He has fought with Hongyeling, and Jing Yuexin once scared away Li Yougen. His reputation is extremely loud and he is very recognizable.
But Duan Bowen remembered that when they smuggled across the river before, there were two Nascent Souls in Hongye Ridge, and that Kun Xiuzhenxian was definitely not Jing Yuexin.
However, is it realistic to let a Nascent Soul stay in a spirit beast bag for more than a month at sea?
From a technical perspective, does Dongsheng have a spirit beast bag that can carry a Nascent Soul? I'm afraid there aren't many in Zhongzhou either.
Jing Yuexin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Fellow Daoist, your question is not appropriate."
"Okay," Duan Bowen nodded when he heard this. He was actually not a rash person.
But what he thought was that after all, the two sides were "secretly crossing over together", so they could be considered a good relationship.
But now think about it, there are too many magical things about the other party. I want to make friends with him... am I worthy?
However, it was a rare encounter after all, so he still had to ask, "Do you have a place to stay now?"
This was still a bit too profound, and Qu Jianlei glanced at him casually: Didn't we agree to forget each other?
But thinking that everyone had sneaked here together, he paused and replied calmly, "In Liuguang City."
"Liu Guang..." Duan Bowen nodded slightly when he heard that, and he was not very surprised.
The cost of living there is very high, but it is obvious that it is not a problem for the people from Hongyeling.
The reason for this is that prices in Liuguang City are generally high, and most of the people who live there are either rich or noble, so there are not many criminals.
If there really is one, he must be a very evil person and most forces will not provoke him.
But after a pause, he still asked, "It's okay to just stay there, but it can't be used as a mountain gate, right?"
This was not considered as a superficial talk, because he knew very well that there were at least seven true immortals in Hongye Ridge.
However, Liuguang City only has one fourth-order spiritual vein. Even though it is huge and covers a large area, it is still only one.
If Hongye Ridge had not completely surrendered to Liuguang City, it would have been impossible for it to stay on the fourth-level spiritual vein for a long time.
It is possible to rent a cave for short-term practice or advancement, but it is not a long-term solution.
Even if seven True Immortals could obtain a peak third-order spiritual vein...even if they could obtain two, it would not be enough for long-term cultivation.
Duan Bowen was also very clear that there was a fourth-level spiritual vein in Hongye Ridge.
Well, if this group of people want to take root in Zhongzhou, they must also find suitable cultivation resources. Liuguang City... is almost there.
Qu Jianlei nodded when he heard this, "You can only stay here temporarily to stabilize yourself first. Do you have a way to find a free fourth-level spiritual vein?"
"Where can I get this?" Duan Bowen shook his head. "This is only possible if you join the Four Sacred Mountains."
Qu Jianlei remained silent. He had never thought about relying on others.
After a pause, he asked again, "Are there any fourth-level spirit veins that have not been discovered?"
"This..." Duan Bowen thought for a moment, then shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I'm afraid it's difficult."
"Even if there are still fourth-level spirit veins that have not been discovered, if you want to occupy them, you still have to do something. After all, this is not Dongsheng."
"Tsk," Qu Jianlei smacked his lips in frustration and said nothing more.
At this moment, the auction had already reached the eleventh treasure, and it was finally won by the Immortal Shi Guang in the venue.
"This is really..." Duan Bowen shook his head and muttered softly, "What a spendthrift."
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but ask, "Who is this person? Is his family big?"
He never gossiped so much before, but that was because he felt alienated from the environment at that time and deliberately kept his distance from society.
But now that I have to gradually integrate into the community, I have to ask about all the information I need to know - even if it may be useless.
"He's spoiled," Duan Bowen said lightly, "He must have been provoked by someone."
Although the Duan family is not rooted here, he has been traveling to Dongsheng all year round and is relatively familiar with the situation on the east side of Zhongzhou.
In his words, the Immortal Shi Guang’s surname is not Shi, but Deng, and his full name is Deng Shi Guang.
The Deng family’s ancestral home is not in Daye City, but in the neighboring Xiangyuan City, but their influence can reach here.
Duan Bowen has lived long enough, and although there are many True Immortals in Zhongzhou, they are limited in number, and he knows most of them.
Besides, the Deng family is not weak, and he knows quite a bit about it.
Anyway, he had bought the qualification to be a spectator with spirit stones and was not eligible to bid, so he chatted with Lord Qu Ling in a disjointed manner.
Finally, the repair liquid was brought up. The box it was placed in was indigo blue, looking high-end and classy.
Qu Jianlei touched his chin subconsciously. Not to mention the box, he was very familiar with the bottle inside.
Then, the lowest price for the repair fluid was announced: nine hundred Shangling!
There is nothing wrong with this valuation, it is very close to the valuation of Sanshi Zhenren. Although nine hundred is slightly lower, it is the price quoted by Shang Ling.
This quotation unit involves the quality of the auction item. The price is not too high, but it is assumed to be a Nascent Soul level treasure.
The key is the nature of this thing. It can repair space magic weapons. Even if there is only a small piece, it is worth auctioning.
Duan Bowen even couldn't help but comment, "It's a pity that success is not guaranteed, otherwise the price would be even higher."
"Guarantee success?" Qu Jianlei looked at him, curled his lips helplessly, and was too lazy to say anything else.
What’s interesting is that the first bidder was Shi Guang Zhenxian, who has already bought three treasures today.
In addition to him, there were three other bidders. The frequency of bidding was very high, and soon the price reached 1,150 Shang Ling.
"One thousand two hundred Shang Ling," a rough voice finally appeared, but it was also in the public auction area.
The one bidding was a Jindan with a stern face, and he had two foundation-building attendants beside him. Their temperaments were similar to his, except for their momentum.
Immortal Shi Guang glanced at him and asked in surprise, "You... want to take a photo too?"
"This item will be of great use to Daye City," Jin Dan replied expressionlessly, "Please help me, Immortal Shi Guang."
This kind of situation at an auction is almost tantamount to blatant disruption.
But given Shi Guang Zhenxian's behavior, he just shut up and no one continued to bid.
Qu Jianlei glanced at Duan Bowen beside him - who the hell is this?
Immortal Bowen frowned, obviously not liking this change.
However, he hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice, "They should be the guards of the City Lord's Mansion. I just haven't seen them."
Soon the auctioneer made the decision and announced that the repair fluid had been bought by the Jindan.
"This is really..." Qu Jianlei was a little speechless, "It seems that there is no way to trace it further."
Originally, he was thinking about whether he could track down the buyer. Even if the buyer was confidential, couldn't he still make a guess?
Now, the buyer Daming has generously revealed his identity, making it inconvenient for him to track him down.
After all, Liuguang City, where the team is located, is only a second-tier city under the jurisdiction of Daye City.
