Palace of Heavenly Kings

Chapter 256
Xihai Province, located in the northwest of Kunlun Kingdom, is the starting point of the ancient Silk Road.

Xihai regards the Ye family as the most respected, but the one who has the most hope of catching up to the Ye family is the Gongsun family.

It can be seen from this that the power of the Gongsun family in Xihai is very unusual.

Andao City, the base camp of the Gongsun family.

Chen Mo, dressed in black casual clothes, left from the high-speed railway station.It was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and Chen Mo found a hotel to stay.

But along the way, Chen Mo discovered some strange things, there are many warriors gathered here!
However, the strength of these fighters is not very high, most of them are outside fighters, and there are also inside fighters, but the ratio is only one-tenth.

Some of these warriors also stayed in the same hotel as Chen Mo, obviously they were not natives of Andao City.

At night, when Chen Mo was practicing, he released his spiritual consciousness to find out the reason for the gathering of warriors.

It turned out to be Dangui Pavilion in Andao City, and there will be a reception tomorrow.

Martial artists certainly don't care about these ordinary receptions, so Chen Mo feels that tomorrow's reception will not be simple.

Keeping this in mind, Chen Mo continued to practice.

The next day, Chen Mo followed the two warriors to Dangui Pavilion.

Dangui Pavilion is actually a pharmacy, a rare pure Chinese medicine store in Kunlun Kingdom. Chen Mo went in and walked around, and found that the medicinal materials sold here are very complete, and some of the medicinal materials can even be used to refine some basic elixirs.

The reception was held in the hall on the third floor of Dangui Pavilion, and Chen Mo followed the people up.

There are two doormen in suits at the entrance of the hall on the third floor. Everyone who enters the door will show a bank card, and then the doorman will issue a number plate.

When it was Chen Mo's turn, Chen Mo also took out his bank card.

After the two guards saw it, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a while, and they looked at Chen Mo with deep respect.

Chen Mo also got a number plate, which said table number two.

Chen Mo walked in with a calm face. To him, money was purely a number, and now even he didn't know how much money was in that card.

In the spacious hall, dozens of round tables were placed, covered with apricot-yellow silk tablecloths, each table had a number plate, and there were many people sitting here and there.

Most of these people are middle-aged men, and there are many old people, but there are very few young people.

There is a stage at the front of the hall. Below the stage are several particularly large round tables covered with red tablecloths, which look a little special.

Chen Mo estimated that there should be the so-called VIP seats.

The guests came one after another, but after entering the hall, they all found their seats and sat down in silence. Only a few people chatted in low voices. Obviously, most of these people did not know each other.

Chen Mo sensed his surroundings a little, and found that there are dozens of warriors here, but most of them are outside the border, and there are only a few inside the border.But such strength in the secular world is enough to shock a big family like the Jin family.

Chen Mo walked all the way, looking for table No. [-], and finally found that table No. [-] turned out to be one of those tables covered with red tablecloths under the stage.

Chen Mo thought for a while, and immediately realized that the seats were arranged according to the money in the bank card.

After figuring it out, Chen Mo closed his eyes and rested his mind, ignoring the other people on the table, quietly waiting for the reception to start.

A few minutes later, Chen Mo heard a burst of exclamation from around, and opened his eyes slightly involuntarily.

Looking away, a tall and hot beautiful woman in a pink dress, accompanied by an old man, was walking towards Chen Mo with a proud face.

Where the woman passed by, some people stood up and said hello: "Miss Gongsun!"

The woman just nodded slightly, as a return gift, her attitude was a little cold.

But those people didn't take it seriously, instead they were secretly happy, as if it was a great favor for this woman to nod to them.

The woman passed by Chen Mo and walked to the first round table on Chen Mo's left, which was the position of table No. [-].In the whole table, there were only the woman and the old man.

When the woman was seated, some young men walked over quickly and showed great hospitality to the woman, but the woman's attitude was always lukewarm, making it hard to figure out what was going on in her heart.

After ten minutes, a glamorous hostess walked onto the stage.

After a few stereotyped opening remarks, Chen Mo finally understood the true meaning of this reception.

It turns out that this is not an ordinary reception, but a treasure appraising conference. If you like a certain treasure, you can even auction it on the spot.

As for what kind of treasures are there, Chen Mo is very curious, after all, it must not be an ordinary thing that can attract so many warriors.

The host said something to incite the atmosphere, and directly announced the start of the reception.

At the beginning, the waiter served the dishes, and the dishes were very rich, but those who can come here don't care about these dishes at all. The treasures that are about to be presented for everyone to taste are the goals of everyone.

The host naturally knew this well, and when the waiter finished serving the dishes, he began to announce: "Everyone, a total of six treasures have been selected in this treasure appraisal meeting, and I will present the first one to everyone first."

A staff member in uniform walked onto the stage, holding an exquisite jade box in his hand, and placed it on the projection table in the center of the stage. Everything inside the jade box was clearly projected on the large electronic screen behind the stage.

On the big screen was a strange herbaceous plant, like a flower, but without buds.It is said to be grass, but it has the temperament of flowers.

Although it has been picked, its leaves and rhizomes are still green, which is very strange.

The hostess explained in a sweet voice, "This is an unknown flower, and the picker is a farmer in the mountain area. But the farmer doesn't know what it is, and the farmer used to be a He was insane, and he just picked this flower by accident, and then his mental illness gradually healed on his own. Our purchasing staff learned about the situation and thought this flower was weird, so he bought it back.”

After the host finished explaining, there was a lot of discussion below, some people had sneers on their faces, some people showed doubts, and most people didn't believe that the flowers and plants cured that person's mental illness.

However, when Chen Mo saw this flower, his heart moved: "This is actually a Qingshenlan! It is an indispensable auxiliary medicine for several kinds of elixirs."

Qingshenlan looks like a flower but not a grass, with cold tentacles. It has the effect of refreshing the mind and nurturing the soul.

If the mentally ill farmer kept this Qingshenlan with him for a long time, his mental illness would probably be cured.

And Qingshenlan has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, it will never wither, even if it is picked by someone, it will always appear emerald green when it leaves the soil.

But Qing Shenlan is afraid of fire, and once it encounters fire, it will immediately turn into air.

"Everyone, does anyone recognize this flower?" The host asked with a smile.

Not a single person in the hall made a sound, not because they were ignorant, but because the medicinal properties of Qingshenlan were not suitable for Kunlun warriors, so the martial arts community naturally paid less attention to this medicinal herb.

However, the woman at table one suddenly said indifferently: "Its name is Ice Orchid. It grows in a dark and humid place without sunlight. Its branches and leaves are cold and have a refreshing effect."
