Chapter 161: I was cheated and still said thank you
Chapter 161: I was cheated and still said thank you
The sudden change caught Lu Chen off guard. He didn't expect that the other party would dare to lift his hat without being able to see his cultivation level. He thought:
"What's going on? How did she figure it out? Is there something wrong with this mask? Didn't the monk who sold the mask say that even monks in the Out-of-Body Stage couldn't figure out the clues? Did I get tricked again?"
At this point, Lu Chen could only grit his teeth and pretend to be calm. He looked at the beautiful steward with a gloomy face and pretended to be angry:
"Hmph! If I wasn't in a good mood today, I would have punished you for your offense. You'd better go and ask me if I can use this Rejuvenating Pill to offset more than four million mid-grade spirit stones!"
"Hehe... Senior, I'm so scared! Why don't you teach me a lesson?" Su Ruolan deliberately took a few steps forward and looked at the senior provocatively.
Lu Chen took a few steps back unconsciously, pretending to be angry but not taking action, and in his heart he shouted: "Sister! Can you be more reserved?"
Su Ruolan became interested because she was curious about how Lu Chen, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, could produce 20,000 top-grade pills at one time.
In addition, because Lu Chen practiced the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue, he had a unique temperament. This temperament made her feel that Lu Chen was very unique, but she couldn't explain why.
Seeing that Lu Chen was still stubborn, Su Ruolan smiled and said, "Hahaha... If you hadn't taken out this storage bag, I wouldn't have seen any clues. This is one of the reasons.
Secondly, although your mask is very magical and I cannot see your true appearance, I have used a secret method to feel that your life force and blood are very young, which is completely inconsistent with the appearance of the mask.
As for the third one! That is a woman's intuition, what do you think? My little brother! Isn't it time to settle the score for your rude words to me last time? "
Hearing this, Lu Chen subconsciously touched his face and used his spiritual sense to check the storage bag, but found nothing wrong. He then tried to use the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue to analyze the storage bag.
Only then did he discover that there was a slight energy fluctuation in a corner of the storage bag. He guessed that it should be the mark of spiritual consciousness left by the other party in Feiyu Dan Pavilion last time.
"Haha... Manager, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence to meet you here again, haha... It's really such a coincidence. Since we all know each other, you think you should help with this matter." Lu Chen said with an embarrassed smile.
Now that she has discovered me, it would be better to just admit it instead of pretending any longer. Otherwise, who knows if this witch will torture me next.
"It's not impossible for me to help you, but... but you have to give me another Rejuvenating Pill. You know, this is against the rules. If things go wrong, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Feiyu Dan Pavilion." Su Ruolan said with embarrassment.
Lu Chen was delighted when he heard this, because the thing he had the most was pills, but he couldn't just agree to the other party so easily.
So Lu Chen pretended to be in deep thought, and after a while he sighed with a look of great sorrow: "Okay! Just consider it as a thank you for your help."
As he spoke, Lu Chen took out another anti-aging pill. Under the control of his spiritual sense, two anti-aging pills flashed with colorful light and floated in front of Su Ruolan, which was very dazzling.
A bright gaze flashed across Su Ruolan's beautiful eyes. She had only asked tentatively and did not hold much hope in her heart. She did not expect that Lu Chen would actually take out another anti-aging pill.
She had refused before because she wanted to keep the senior in check, then withdraw and find a way to gather the spirit stones, and then come back to buy the senior's anti-aging pill. Now the other party turned out to be a boy she knew.
Moreover, he gave me an extra Rejuvenating Pill, which meant that I earned a Rejuvenating Pill for free. In fact, the auction did not have the rule of only accepting spirit stones.
As long as the other party can come up with something that is worth more than the item being auctioned, it will be fine.
Take the Rejuvenating Pill for example, it is definitely worth 5 million middle-grade spirit stones, which is more than enough to offset the 4 million.
So if someone else had come, the deal would have been done long ago.
But Su Ruolan didn't expect that by some strange coincidence, she could earn a rejuvenation pill for free.
"Haha... little brother! You are so mysterious. In view of your generosity, I will allow you to use this anti-aging pill to offset 4.05 million mid-grade spirit stones." Su Ruolan said with a smile.
After saying that, he quickly put away the two Rejuvenating Pills and threw the box containing the Rongsheng Pills to Lu Chen, completing the transaction.
"Uh... what do you mean? Didn't you say that the auction would only accept spirit stones? Damn! You actually tricked me!" Lu Chen immediately realized that what the other party said before must have been a lie.
"Hehehe... little brother! Don't look at me like that! But... since you gave me the elixir, I will tell you two pieces of news...
How about it! You won’t suffer any loss after hearing these two pieces of news! I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first. If you want to sell pills again in the future, remember to come to Feiyu Pill Pavilion to find me. At most, I can give you some more spirit stones, hehe..." Su Ruolan smiled happily.
"Thank you for telling me!" Lu Chen's face suddenly changed when he heard that, but he still did not forget to thank the beautiful manager.
"Hehe...little brother! Take care of yourself! Sister has something else to do, so I'll leave first." As soon as Su Ruolan finished speaking, her delicate figure disappeared into the private room.
Because Su Ruolan got a rejuvenation pill from Lu Chen for free and had a good impression of him, she told Lu Chen two important pieces of news for some unknown reason.
One piece of news is that someone above is investigating a monk wearing a navy blue robe.
Another piece of news is that the owner of private room No. 37 is called Song Yushu, the grandson of a big shot at the Shenshou Mountain headquarters. He has a powerful background and is also investigating Lu Chen's background.
Although Su Ruolan had her own concerns and did not explain the situation in detail, these few words had already explained a lot of problems for Lu Chen.
With this first piece of news, Lu Chen still couldn't figure out who was targeting him.
The biggest possibility is Chu Dingtian, but he didn't find himself at that time, so who could it be? Unknown things are often the biggest threat.
As for Song Yushu, it must be because he had snatched the other party's Rongsheng Dan, which caused the other party to bear a grudge and want to take revenge on him. Lu Chen has seen many third-generation clan members like this, so there is no need to worry.
"It seems that I may have been targeted by someone, so I can no longer use this set of clothes and mask." Lu Chen murmured.
He then took out a new set of clothes from the Golden Pearl World, put them on, took off the mask, and planned to leave the auction early.
But then Lu Chen thought of another question. If he went out now, would it attract special attention? You know, there shouldn't be many cultivators who leave midway.
What if the other party is lying in ambush outside, wouldn’t that catch me openly?
After thinking for a while, Lu Chen decided to wait until the auction was over, and then find a way to get out, and then leave Qianyang City directly...
