268 Going to Fengxing Auction House
The Sacred Heart sect was a heinous sect that had already claimed many lives.
However, the deputy general understood that Song Ya’s decision wouldn’t change, so he swallowed his indignation.
Qin Huai was walking down the deserted Wanli Street in Lingjiang City, carrying a bulging sack with Li Shaoxiang by his side.
“Lingjiang doesn’t seem to be as lively as when we first returned,” Li Shaoxiang said as she looked at the once-crowded street. “Wanli Street used to be difficult to move around. You used to have to rely on poison to make it to the Fengxing Auction House, but now we can walk there with ease.”
Qin Huai nodded in agreement.
“Fiery pollen antidote, ice calming fire, and the effect of calming one’s mind. It’s cheap and good!”
The sellers shouted on both sides of the street. However, not many people seemed to be buying them.
Qin Huai briefly stopped and bargained with some of the sellers before moving on. Nevertheless, there were some masked individuals who were quite generous. Without even asking, they directly swept away all these goods.
“Looks like business is good,” Li Shaoxiang commented with a smile. She was exceedingly beautiful.
The sellers of the antidote pills were all disguised disciples of the Nine Dragons sect, and the prices were exorbitant, indicating that they were out to fleece their customers.
“Since the battle at Niu Mountain, our Nine Dragons sect’s poison techniques have become renowned. Martial artists of various sects, large and small, will buy some for preparation. Especially those masked men, they’re probably lackeys of the Sacred Heart sect and people from the county governor’s mansion,” Qin Huai said.
Li Shaoxiang was secretly pleased. She couldn’t help but marvel at how the Sacred Heart sect and the people from the county governor’s mansion would feel if they knew about the Nine Dragons sect’s improved poison techniques.
“Husband, you’re so ruthless…what a clever move,” she exclaimed.
“We have no choice. We’ve relinquished many mines and herbal fields, and our revenue has sharply declined. We have to think of a way to support our family,” Qin Huai replied calmly.
He wasn’t troubled by such matters. If the Sacred Heart sect had caused them to lose their source of income, it was only fair for him to exact some compensation from them.
As for the county governor’s mansion, they undoubtedly had ulterior motives for buying so many.
Ge Youqian had secretly sent people to deliver the new poisons to the Nine Dragons sect through a small path. The entire process was managed by Ge Youqian’s retainer and Li Zeren’s trusted subordinates from the Nine Dragons sect, keeping it highly secretive.
“Husband, these people from the county governor’s mansion are also buying the detoxification pills wantonly. I’m afraid they’re very vicious,” Li Shaoxiang said, thinking of something that made her stop smiling.
“Yes, they might use this opportunity to attack us. The Zhang family’s matter has already been exposed, so they won’t miss this chance,” Qin Huai replied with a nod. “Whether it’s because of me or the Nine Dragons sect, both sides have a deep grudge. They might even work together with the Sacred Heart sect from the inside. We have to be careful,” he warned.
This was also why Qin Huai had single-handedly forced the Sacred Heart sect’s forces into September Hook. They didn’t dare to divide their forces to Erli River and several important places in Dog Tree Mountain to resume mining and planting.
During this period, he could only travel day and night with Li Zeren and the others to comprehend the dragon corpse underground, quickly increasing his white dragon force and letting the dragon king grow. He hoped to control the dragon corpse for a long time as soon as possible.
“Sect Master Qin!” In front of the Fengxing Auction House, the two doormen broke into radiant smiles at the sight of Qin Huai.
Inside the auction house, a middle-aged man in extraordinary clothes ran out. It was the manager of the auction house.
“Sect Master Qin, why didn’t you send someone to inform us beforehand that you were coming to the auction house?” The manager’s face was filled with enthusiasm.
He had no choice.Who asked this young man in front of him, who was not even close to the crown, to be a big shot that made Lingjiang City hot?Where was the new sect master of the Nine Dragons sect?
“Is Brother Ge here?” Qin Huai asked with a smile.
“Coincidentally, our young master has recently gone to Qingzhou to discuss business,” the manager replied with a look of pity. “However, Young Master specifically instructed before he left that the things that you and Young Master discussed will remain unchanged. I’ll help you with everything.”
“May I ask how I should address you, Manager?” Qin Huai asked.
“The surname is Sun. Sect Master Qin can call me Steward Sun.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble Manager Sun,” Qin Huai said as they walked into the auction house.
The Fengxing Auction House held auctions every few days, and a large number of people did business in the Chamber of Commerce, trading rare items from various counties and cities in Qingzhou.
The herbs that Qin Huai had bought in the past were all from here, and the Fengxing Auction House also put up items for sale.
Bang!
Qin Huai walked to a bright cubicle and put down the large sack in his hands.
Manager Sun looked at the shape and sniffed it gently, recognizing that it was full of antidotes.
“These are the detoxification pills made by my Nine Dragons sect, the stiff bone powder, the heart softening powder, and the fiery pollen” Qin Huai introduced each item.
“Tsk, these things. They’ve been selling well in the city recently,” Manager Sun commented. “Sect Master Qin, are you planning to auction them? If we auction them, the price will be higher, and we will earn more.”
As the manager of the Fengxing Auction House, he was well-informed and knew of the Nine Dragons sect’s current financial situation.
Although the three great forces of Lingjiang had shown signs of decline in recent years, the Nine Dragons sect, which had a large business, had fallen into a state of poverty.
They relied on selling the antidote to the poison that had just risen and shone in the war to relieve the financial pressure.
