Chapter 208: Xingchen Pavilion Auction

"Eighth Master, please come in."

Su Chen walked into the yard, asked Eighth Master Mu to sit down, and asked, "Eighth Master, do you want to see me for something?"

"Hehe, nothing special, just came to give you an invitation." Eighth Master Mu said with a smile.

"Invitation?"

"That's right, three days later, the Mu family will host a banquet for the eldest son in the mansion, so I specially sent an invitation to Mr. Su to invite him to attend the banquet." Eighth Master Mu said.

Eldest son?

Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Mr. Mu Ba thought Su Chen didn't know, so he explained: "The eldest prince is one of the strongest competitors for the heir to the Anyang County Prince."

"The Anyang County Prince has only one beloved daughter and no son. But someone has to inherit the throne, so he selected several outstanding sons from the branches of the palace and named them princes. When the time is right, he will choose one of them to become the heir to the throne."

"However, the Anyang County Prince has not yet started to choose an heir, so the princes are fighting openly and secretly, and the competition is very fierce."

"As for the eldest prince, he is one of the strongest competitors."

What Mr. Mu Ba said is roughly consistent with what Su Chen knew in his previous life.

In his previous life, he had heard that several princes of the Anyang County Prince fought fiercely for the position of heir. In the end, they even fought to the death, causing a big mess and killing many people.

However, that should be a few years later.

"Does the Mu family have a good relationship with the eldest prince?" Su Chen asked.

"Well, the relationship between the Mu family and the eldest son has always been good. It can be said that the relationship is the best among the several sons." Mr. Mu nodded.

Su Chen thought: "Is it the old man's intention to get close to the eldest son?"

"It's not the old man's intention." Mr. Mu shook his head, "The old man has always ignored these things. It's mainly because some senior members of the Mu family have a good relationship with the eldest son."

It turned out that it was not the old man's intention.

Su Chen smiled. The old man was wise. With the status of the Mu family, they should not get involved in these open and secret struggles between the sons.

Su Chen thought to himself that he had to find a time to remind Mr. Mu that it was not a good thing for the senior members of the Mu family to get too close to the eldest son.

"I will go on that day." Su Chen accepted the invitation.

Mr. Mu smiled and said, "Then Mr. Su, I won't bother you for now."

After Mr. Mu left, Su Chen began to practice.

His cultivation has just reached the seventh level of Condensation Realm, and it will take a long time to break through the eighth level of Condensation Realm. Moreover, the Xiaoyuan Pills obtained from Jiang Shan and Jiang He before have been consumed, and new cultivation resources are needed.

Although Su Chen can refine pills himself, he now consumes dozens of consumables such as Xiaoyuan Pills every day, so he naturally does not have the leisure to refine them. Moreover, the level of Xiaoyuan Pills is a bit too low for him now, and he needs higher-level cultivation resources now.

"The Five Elements True Yuan Core is really a bottomless pit. I need five times more cultivation resources than others. But correspondingly, my combat power can also burst out five times more than others. This deal does not seem to be a loss."

Su Chen's eyes flashed. It is not easy to have five times more combat power than others. For many warriors from big families and big forces, if they can pay five times the resources to get five times the combat power, they will definitely pay the resources immediately without hesitation.

But unfortunately, they don't have such an opportunity, because opportunities like the Hunyuan Five Elements Lotus are not something that everyone can encounter.

However, the problem facing Su Chen now is that he needs to get new cultivation resources immediately.

"Let's go to the auction house tomorrow."

No one spoke that night. The next morning, Su Chen left the room and walked outside.

Gu Qianyin and Gu Qianxue were both practicing, so Su Chen did not take them with him and walked out of the Mu family alone.

All the businesses in Anyang City are concentrated in the commercial street, so the auction house is not difficult to find. When he came to the commercial street, he saw a striking big sign from a distance:

"Xingchen Pavilion."

This auction house seemed to be quite large, and Su Chen walked in.

A wide variety of goods immediately came into view, including weapons, secret books, elixirs, materials... everything you need. Everything a warrior needs seems to be here, but the price is naturally much higher than that in Qinghe City.

Su Chen looked for a while and did not find a satisfactory product.

Just as he was about to go somewhere else to have a look, he heard people around him talking:

"Tonight, the Xingchen Pavilion will hold an auction once every two weeks. There will be many rare and precious treasures on display. Will you come?"

"Of course. I have long wanted a low-level Xuan-level technique. I must come to see it tonight."

So there is an auction tonight.

Su Chen showed interest, thinking that the auction might show some training auxiliary resources he needs.

"Sir, what do you need?" A Xingchen Pavilion clerk quickly walked towards Su Chen and asked.

"Tell me about your auction." Su Chen said.

"Okay, sir. We have three types of auctions in Xingchen Pavilion. One is held every half a month, and all the exhibits are rare goods that are not usually sold at the Xingchen Pavilion counter. One is held every three months, and all the exhibits are rare treasures that are rarely seen. The other is held once a year, and all the exhibits are priceless and precious treasures."

That is to say, the three types of auctions have different degrees of rarity of exhibited goods. Among them, the highest-level annual auction only displays priceless treasures. I am afraid that 99% of people can only look but not buy.

"However, even in the auctions held every half a month like tonight, there are many rare and precious goods, which are worth seeing." The clerk strongly recommended.

"Okay, give me an admission ticket for tonight's auction." Su Chen smiled and said.

"Okay, sir." The clerk immediately took out an admission ticket and handed it to Su Chen.

Su Chen took the admission ticket and was about to go out. Suddenly, two young men walked in from outside, arm in arm, and they seemed to have a good relationship.

"Hey, it's you?"

One of the young men saw Su Chen and his face suddenly turned cold. Then he pointed at Su Chen and sneered: "Hehe, kid, you didn't expect that I still got into Anyang College!"

Coincidentally, this person turned out to be Situ Ming. Su Chen had just beaten him up at the registration place of Anyang College yesterday, and he met him again today.

At that time, a tutor of Anyang College threw Situ Ming out and banned him from registering again. However, I guess the Situ family still has some power, and Situ Ming was still qualified to register again.
