Chapter 605: Furnace Auction
The two of them walked into Zuixianlou, chose the best private room on the top floor, ordered a table of the best food, and feasted on it.
Lu Yu could see that Hailan City was a very luxurious and extravagant city. As long as you have money, you can enjoy everything. This is even more vivid than Shengyun Mountain.
Ye Weilan was also very happy. Tonight she was really eye-opening. She knew that the outside world could be so rich and colorful. But when the waiter handed over the bill, she couldn't help but frowned in surprise.
"So much money?"
"Miss, you are joking. The prices of our store are all approved by the City Lord's Mansion. Every dish is clearly marked. It is absolutely fair to everyone..." The waiter said neither servile nor arrogant.
"Bring it here and let me see..." Lu Yu stretched out his hand and said.
So, Ye Weilan handed the bill to him, and couldn't help muttering: "Even if all the people in our Yehua clan eat together for a whole year, they won't spend so much money..."
Lu Yu glanced at it quickly. It was indeed very expensive, but he was a connoisseur. Judging from the ingredients of these dishes and their service level, it was worth the price...
"Pay him!"
Lu Yu threw the bill aside and said casually.
It happened to be the New Year, and the two of them had been suppressed for so long on the way. It was a rare opportunity to relax. Therefore, Lu Yu didn't plan to care so much and just enjoy himself. Anyway, compared with the gains along the way, this cost was just a drop in the bucket...
But what he didn't expect was that it was this insignificant move that made the waiter beside him flash a look of surprise.
This waiter greeted and sent off guests every day in Zuixianlou, and his eyesight had been trained to be extremely sharp. He had always thought that Ye Weilan was the main one among the two, but he didn't expect that the real boss was this ordinary man who seemed to have almost no cultivation.
Moreover, the temperament that the other party showed inadvertently was obviously the attitude of a superior. The waiter never thought that there would be a day when he would make a mistake.
Seeing that Lu Yu said so, Ye Weilan had to do it, but he had a look of great pain on his face, just like a young wife in charge of accounting.
Now the waiter clearly saw the storage ring on Ye Weilan's hand, and he couldn't help but secretly shocked. Even an attendant beside him wore such an expensive ring, and he also controlled such a huge amount of money. How respected should the identity of this man be?
It seems that this guest must be quite important...
After the two of them paid the bill and were about to leave Zuixianlou, the waiter hurriedly caught up with them and said humbly, "Please stay, my dear guests..."
"I guess you two must have just arrived in Hailan City not long ago. I guess you haven't arranged a place to stay yet? It's not easy to find a good place to stay in the city at this time. If it's a bad place, it won't match the status of the two guests..."
"Why don't I arrange it for you so that I can continue to serve you..."
Lu Yu glanced at him and said, "Does your Zuixianlou have accommodation services?"
The waiter smiled even more flatteringly and said: "Sir, it's like this... Every New Year, our Hailan City will hold a grand auction. As long as you sign up for the auction, you will be qualified as a VIP and can stay in the VIP club of Hailan City for free..."
"And the boss of our Zuixianlou happens to be one of the directors of this auction. He is recruiting powerful people to participate in this auction. If someone as powerful as you are willing to sign up, our boss will definitely welcome you. It's no problem for me to arrange it for the two of you..."
"Auction?"
Lu Yu immediately showed an interested expression. He was thinking about buying a set of treasure clothes for Ye Weilan before, but he didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to send a pillow just when he was about to go to bed.
"What treasures are there in your auction? When will it be held?"
"Tomorrow." The waiter replied, "As for the specific items to be auctioned, it is still confidential. However, the annual highlight is definitely indispensable, and I dare to guarantee that you will be interested and will definitely feel that the trip is worthwhile..."
At this point, the waiter suddenly smiled strangely and winked at Lu Yu: "That is the special auction of furnace tripods!"
"What? Furnace tripod auction? You have a furnace tripod auction here?"
What the waiter didn't expect was that Lu Yu didn't react yet, but Ye Weilan on the side showed an expression of interest.
This made him feel a little confused. In his opinion, this overly beautiful woman was most likely a furnace tripod cultivated by a wealthy clan. I don't know why she was so excited when she heard about the furnace tripod auction. Did she want to take the initiative to find a companion for herself?
"Of course there is..."
Although a little confused, the waiter still explained diligently: "This type of auction can be said to be a major feature of our Hailan City. It is indispensable in the annual New Year auction..."
"What are you waiting for? Sign up now!"
Ye Weilan was very excited. In fact, she didn't know what the furnace tripod meant. When she was with Lu Yu before, Lu Yu avoided answering. Now she finally had the honor to see it with her own eyes, so she was naturally excited.
"Sir, this... what do you think?"
The waiter did not agree to it, but looked at Lu Yu with an inquiring look. Although they were only together for a short moment, he knew that the person who really made the decision was Lu Yu.
Lu Yu supported his forehead and said, "Then help us sign up. Since this is a feature of Hailan City, it's okay to go and experience it..."
Looking at Ye Weilan's posture, even if she refused, she would definitely sneak over to join in the fun, so it would be better for her to agree openly and go over to see what it was.
The waiter was delighted when he heard this. It was obvious that he had successfully attracted a VIP to the auction, which must be of great benefit to him.
"If you want to sign up for the auction, you need to verify your capital first... But this is definitely not a problem for you two..."
"You only need to pay a deposit of 100,000 spirit stones to obtain the qualification of VIP. The deposit will be used as auction funds at that time. If you don't bid on any goods, the money will be returned in full..."
100,000 spirit stones is indeed a large amount of money, but Lu Yu's storage ring can barely take it out, so Lu Yu waved his hand and asked Ye Weilan to pay the money.
He didn't worry about being deceived at all. Anyway, the monk can run away but the temple cannot. The entire magnificent Zuixian Building is located here. The cost of this building alone is more than this amount. If the other party dares to embezzle this money, he has many ways to make the other party pay the price.
After paying the money, the waiter's expression suddenly became more humble.
He had seen wealthy guests who spent millions of dollars, but it was rare to see guests like Lu Yu and Ye Weilan who took out 100,000 spirit stones without even frowning...
Even the other people in Zuixianlou looked at the two people with different eyes.
Under the envious eyes of everyone, the two got on the carriage exclusively for the auction and came to the VIP club under the guidance of the waiter.
The two did not continue to wander around, but chose to live in the club to prepare to recuperate and attend the grand auction held the next day.
The waiter was busy for a long time before he finally served them well.
Just as he said goodbye and was about to leave their residence, he suddenly heard the beautiful woman say to the man in a high-spirited tone: "It's useless even if you don't want to tell me. I will know what a furnace tripod is tomorrow!"
The waiter stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
It turned out that the woman didn't know what a furnace tripod was. No wonder she was so excited. It was just out of curiosity...
What kind of fairy guests did he meet?
I really don't know what expression this lady will have when she learns the true meaning of the furnace tripod tomorrow... Has she ever heard of the saying that curiosity kills the cat?
...
"What exactly is a furnace tripod? I will know everything tomorrow. Why don't you tell me now?"
In the residence, Ye Weilan said boredly.
This is a question that has been lingering in her mind for many days. It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it before, but now that it has been mentioned, her heart feels as uncomfortable as if it were scratched by a cat. Even if she waits one more night, it is still a very tormenting thing.
"Do you really want to know that much?"
Lu Yu sighed helplessly: "Knowing this will not do you any good..."
Ye Weilan rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "Is it good for me to not know anything now? Even if there is no benefit, I still want to know, at least I have mastered one more knowledge point!"
"Okay... since you are so persistent, then I will tell you..." Lu Yu said helplessly.
Ye Weilan was immediately delighted, picked up a small stool, sat happily in front of him, and put on an appearance of listening attentively.
Lu Yu was suddenly in tears and laughed: "Do you have to be so formal? I don't know where to start..."
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up! Why are you so fussy!"
"..."
Lu Yu coughed twice, organized his words, and said: "The so-called furnace is actually a way of cultivation. This kind of cultivation is generally inseparable from the combination of double cultivation. It is to collect the yin of the sky and the sunflower water below. The yin and yang are combined, and good times will come after bad times... eh?"
Speaking of this, Lu Yu suddenly stopped abruptly, revealing a thoughtful look.
"Then what?"
Ye Weilan looked at Lu Yu with her eyes wide open, "Why don't you say anything? What kind of practice is this?"
Lu Yu suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"This may be a practice that can break the spell on me... I am really stupid, why didn't I think of using this method for so long?"
"It seems that at tomorrow's auction, we really have to carefully choose the furnace tripod!"
