The Fourth Financial Crisis

After groping for a moment, Yang Lu finally took out a metal token engraved with a strange pattern.

He waved the metal token in front of Shopkeeper Liu and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, your Chamber of Commerce actually gave He a token back then. I wonder if it can be used as a ticket for the auction?"

Seeing this token, Manager Liu's pupils shrank slightly.

He immediately turned to look at the maid beside him and ordered in a deep voice: "Get out of here!"

Hearing the extremely harsh tone of Manager Liu, the beautiful maid didn't even dare to take a breath, and immediately ran out of the room. Before leaving, she even closed the door for the two of them.

Shopkeeper Liu was still uneasy and pointed at the door again.

Yang Lu immediately noticed through his spiritual consciousness that there was a mysterious spiritual energy fluctuation that enveloped the entire room.

This should be some kind of anti-reconnaissance spell restriction!

After doing all this, Shopkeeper Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Yang Lu again:

"This is...a private token granted by Elder Liu himself?"

The only person who can be respectfully called "Elder Liu" by Liu Qi, a cultivator, is naturally the only golden elixir stage great monk Liu Hanxing!

Yang Lu casually put the token into his sleeve robe with a smile on his face.

He Mingyuan said that this token was given to him personally by Liu Hanxing. It not only ensured his smooth access to the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce, but also allowed him to ask the staff of the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce to cooperate with his actions. Yang Lu took it out to try the effect. .

Seeing Guanshi Liu's surprised and incomprehensible expression, it was obvious that He Mingyuan's statement was not without purpose!

Seeing that the token disappeared, Manager Liu took a deep look at Yang Lu and said, "Since Mr. He has a token of this level, he is a member of the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce, and of course he can be invited to participate in the auction. Auction The time is tomorrow at noon, you can just come to Baibao Pavilion when you arrive, I will be waiting here personally!"

Hearing Liu Qi's answer, Yang Lu pretended to be unintentional and asked: "My participation in your Chamber of Commerce's private auction this time will not cause any trouble to Elder Liu. If it disturbs Elder Liu's practice, then it will be the opposite." It’s not beautiful anymore.”

Liu Qi didn't know that Yang Lu was testing him, so he laughed boldly and said: "Elder Liu is a great golden elixir monk who takes care of everything. How can he care about such a trivial matter as the auction? Even if it's nothing important for me, I won’t take the initiative to disturb Elder Liu. Don’t worry, I, Liu Qi, have full authority to decide on all matters of the Tianshu City Branch of the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce!"

After speaking, Liu Qi took out one of the two 10,000-yuan spirit stone coins on the desk and handed it back to Yang Lu.

Yang Lu did not accept the 10,000-yuan note, but raised his eyebrows and said, "What does Shopkeeper Liu mean?"

Shopkeeper Liu smiled softly: "Since Mr. He is a person whom Elder Liu trusts, I wonder if I can make friends with you? If Mr. He is willing to make me a friend, I can make the decision to help you save a fraction of these two magic weapons. Got it!"

The middle and high-level managers of the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce all know that Liu Hanxing's personal token can only be granted by him personally.

He Mingyuan was able to obtain Liu Hanxing's personal token solely because he was performing a secret undercover mission arranged by Liu Hanxing himself, but Liu Qi obviously did not know the inside story.

Hearing that this token could help him save 5,000 spiritual stone coins, Yang Lu immediately hit the snake and put it on the stick, put away the big note, and said politely with a smile: "I am the only one who can make friends like Shopkeeper Liu. What an honor to congratulate someone!"

Many people who do not have rich social experience always behave too politely to outsiders.

If you can make the other party owe you a favor, it is obviously the best way to bring the relationship between the two parties closer. But if you cannot make the other party owe you a favor, then letting yourself owe the other party a favor can also quickly bring the relationship between the two parties closer.

Because you owe the other person a favor, you can make the other person feel that you are one of their own, thus quickly establishing mutual trust between the two parties.

Yang Lu himself is a master of social interaction. After accepting the spiritual stone banknote unceremoniously, Manager Liu's smile became even more enthusiastic: "I wonder if it would be convenient for Mr. He to leave a magic mark so that we can contact him in the future?"

The spell mark is equivalent to the cultivator's exclusive phone number.

After each cultivator advances to the first level of Qi refining, he can formulate his own special spell mark.

As long as you have the spell marks left by other cultivators, you can send communication spells to them based on the spell marks. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, the message can be delivered instantly. Therefore, only monks with relatively good relationships would leave spell marks on each other.

Upon being invited by Shopkeeper Liu, Yang Lu immediately activated his spiritual energy and drew a mysterious blue pattern out of thin air. However, this spell mark was made up by Yang Lu casually and was not the one he usually used.

Seeing a faint golden line behind this blue pattern, Liu Qi couldn't help being shocked:

"This is...the Golden Wheel of Merit?!"

All spells may be enhanced by the Golden Wheel of Merit, and the communication spell is no exception. Yang Lu did not expect that when he activated the communication spell, it would actually trigger the special effects of the Golden Wheel of Merit, so he had to smile awkwardly but politely. .

After seeing this golden wheel of merit, Liu Qi finally understood why Mr. He, a young monk in the Qi refining stage, could become Liu Hanxing's friend.

At a young age, one can receive a golden wheel of merit and virtue, and can easily take out ten thousand yuan bills...

Could this be an ordinary person?

Maybe this is the new generation of academic star of Wuliang Sword Sect!

Just when Liu Qi was shocked, a soft "ding-dong" sound suddenly came from his ears. He quickly looked down and found that a golden badge had "accidentally" fallen out of Yang Lu's sleeve.

Lingshi Reserve Bank's academic contribution badge?

Liu Qi himself is a cultivator, and he also works with Liu Hanxing all year round. It is not uncommon for big figures from the Lingshi Reserve Bank and the Wuliang Sword Sect to wear this kind of badge on their chests to show their outstanding academic status.

Yang Lu quickly picked up the golden badge with the words "Meishan Swordsman" engraved on it from the ground, and said a little embarrassedly: "I accidentally dropped a small ornament, which made shopkeeper Liu laugh!"

What do you mean by accidentally dropping something? I think you just wanted to show off to me!

Cultivators don't have such problems as hand tremors. Seeing the Golden Wheel of Merit and the Academic Contribution Badge of the Lingshi Reserve Bank that Yang Lu deliberately displayed, Shopkeeper Liu Qi has already confirmed the identity of Yang Lu and Liu Hanxing's friend, even if Yang Lu himself It's useless to stand up and deny it.

In his opinion, Yang Lu showed off these treasures in front of him just because he looked down on the other party just now and made the other party feel neglected. This was specifically to demonstrate with him!

Thinking of this, Liu Qi quickly put on a smile and said that he had been a little abrupt just now, and asked Mr. He not to be offended.

Of course, Yang Lu was not ignorant of the compliment and waved his hand politely, indicating that he didn't mind.

After exchanging spell marks, Liu Qi also confessed his identity to Yang Lu.

He is Liu Hanxing's distant nephew, and his relationship is far beyond the reach of anyone. He is a disciple of the Qingyang Sect, a fourth-rate sect in Liu Hanxing's hometown of Qingyang City. Due to his poor cultivation aptitude, he wasted more than thirty years. He is still at the sixth level of Qi refining.

Because of his strong work ability, Liu Qi is currently fully responsible for all the properties of the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce in Tianshu City and seven nearby cities. Since Tianshu City is the regional trading center for cultivators, he himself is permanently stationed here. Inside the Baibao Pavilion.

For him to personally receive other important guests can also reflect the respect Liu Family Chamber of Commerce has for their distinguished guests.

Although Liu Qi is not an expert in Tianshu City where cultivators are everywhere, because he has the support of the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce, even the local overlord, the Mountain Eagle Sect, has to give him face.

When Yang Lu left Baibao Pavilion, Manager Liu personally came to send him out.

After repeatedly asking him to come to the auction tomorrow, Liu Qi also said that if he encountered any difficulties in Tianshu City, Yang Lu could come to him for help.

Yang Lu just said a few polite words to him casually, but didn't take it seriously. After all, Tianshu City is the headquarters of Fang Jiancai, the deacon of Gongde Hall. Currently, Fang Jiancai and the Qingning Chamber of Commerce are still openly allies. If something happens that cannot be solved by himself, it will definitely be more useful to go to Fang Jiancai than to Liu Qi. .

Seeing that night had fallen, and feeling that the time agreed with Chen Ping was almost over, Yang Lu stopped wandering around and set off for Songjian Pavilion, the most luxurious inn in Tianshu City.
