Cultivation Began Three Years Ago

In front of the counter, Xu Che, who had nothing to do, continued to look through the ledger and check the data of many hunters.

"Well, Man Hai, I have received 76 commissions, with a completion rate of 87;"

"Qinghe, 44 pieces, with a completion rate of 90;"

"Old man Wang, 83 pieces, 89 completion rate;"

"Thousands of noodles, 27 pieces, 73 completion rate;"

"Chang Yuan, 46 pieces, 84 completion rate;"

"Guhe, 78 pieces, with a completion rate of 81;"

"Kong Yu, 56 pieces, 77 completion rate;"

There are a total of 36 hunters on the list, 21 warriors, 12 art masters, and 3 supernatural beings;

This is the reserve of combat power currently possessed by the Deadwood Tavern, which has considerable influence in Yanhong City.

It's a pity that over the years, with the continuous rise of martial arts families and underground forces.

He Lao has no ambition to expand outside, and the competition with him has caused the size of the tavern to shrink year by year.

Perhaps after experiencing the turbulent and war-torn era, his old man has also been involved, and now he wants to be stable and plain.

Xu Che rested his fingertips on the yellowed ledger and sighed.

Although the Deadwood Tavern has never suppressed other forces, those aristocratic families and underground offices hidden in the corner all regard the Deadwood Tavern as a threat and want to get rid of it quickly.

I just sat in the town for a day, and two forces came to provoke me. I really don't know how many uninvited guests He Bo has driven away in these years.

It seems that it is necessary to find a suitable time to shake the mountain and shake the tiger.

"Bell! Bell! Bell!"

Just then, the phone by the wine table rang again.

As soon as Xu Che connected, he heard a respectful voice from the other side.

"Dear guest, our invitation will be delivered to you soon, welcome to our auction."

"Okay, got it, thank you."

"beep!--"

The young man hung up the phone. He Bo had mentioned this matter to him.

There is an underground auction house in the city, and there will be an auction every quarter, inviting major martial arts families or underground forces to go there.

Witheredwood Tavern will have a fixed number of places each time, and you can join the club and participate in the auction just by holding a keepsake invitation card.

It is said that all kinds of cultivation resources will be sent and photographed there, which is an opportunity not to be missed for foreigners.

Suddenly, Xu Che, who had never been there before, suddenly became interested.

Sure enough, not long after, a polite man in a suit walked straight into the tavern.

The cold environment in the store and the weird boss made the man extremely uncomfortable, even with a trace of fear on his face.

However, the sender still tried his best to restrain his emotions and slowly came to the counter.

Looking at the boss hidden under the black robe, he bowed slightly, presented the invitation with both hands, and said, "Hello, Cangyu Auction House, I sincerely invite you to participate in this auction."

Xu Che took the token and responded politely, "Okay, thank you for taking a trip."

The gentle and jade-like voice surprised the person who sent the post, and he relaxed all over. He quickly said, "No problem, it's just a matter of duty."

"My dear guest, if you have nothing else to do, please allow me to leave."

"Go ahead."

Xu Che watched the other party leave, feeling that the efficiency was not bad, so he opened the invitation.

I saw a leaf carved and hollowed out of gold inside, engraved with the name of Deadwood Tavern——Lingyun No. 2.

The guests of the auction house will have fixed boxes to sit in, and the rooms are divided into three levels: Aoki, Lingyun, and Cangqiong.

There are 28 rooms in the auction house, 16 rooms for Aoki, 8 rooms for Lingyun, and 4 rooms for Sky.

Due to the fact that the Deadwood Tavern has participated in too few auctions over the years, it can only obtain seats at the Lingyun level.

But even the worst Aoki-class rooms are luxuriously decorated and will never neglect guests.

The invitation was also accompanied by a detailed time and place, Xu Che looked at the hourglass on the wine table.

This gadget is an old antique, it was given by a friend of He Bo's who is a magician, and it has magical powers.

After the sand flows, it is 24 hours a day, and then goes upstream again. On the top of it, there is a detailed digital timekeeping.

Xu Che took a look and found that it was past eight o'clock in the evening. Before he knew it, the time passed so fast, and there were still less than two hours before the opening.

After weighing it over and over again, Xu Che decided to temporarily release the magic body to guard the tavern while he was away.

A thick blood flowed slowly from his fingertips and poured into the broken runestones.

The next moment, a shadow emerged from it, quickly turning into the appearance of an evil youth.

There were still a few bronze masks left under the counter, Xu Che took out one, handed it to the Dharma Body, and said, "Put this on to cover up your eyes and ears."

"It may not be peaceful in the tavern. If you encounter troublemakers, you have full authority to deal with it. Just don't make too much noise."

Dharma Body's eyes were extremely cold, and he said flatly, "Yes."

"It won't be destroyed by anyone until you come back."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Xu Che said with a smile.

He was even thinking about whether he should go up Luowu Mountain and call a big demon down to guard the tavern for him.

An hour later, on the crowded streets at night, people were coming and going, and the barbecue stalls and food stalls were operating normally.

Outside the tavern, it was still empty, and no one wanted to approach it.

In the dark corners, there are quite a few warriors and art masters hiding, watching the dark door of the tavern warily.

They seem to have a plan, their eyes are shining with greed, excitement, and bloodthirsty.

"I heard that the old ghost inside went out. Before he came back, he was caught off guard and his lair was destroyed."

There was an evil smile on the corner of someone's mouth, and he was taking out a communication device to call more people over.

"Some of the hunters under his command have gone on missions, and some may be hiding in the store. You must be careful!" The surgery repairer on the side reminded his companion.

They all belong to an underground office, and they are in competition with the Deadwood Tavern.

At the signal of the high-level forces, they came here to ambush.

If you can take advantage of this opportunity to eradicate the opponent, the scale of your own side may expand a lot.

It's just that, unfortunately, they don't know that what awaits them next is a terrifying existence that kills people without blinking an eye.

At the same time, a certain area in the east of the city.

Walking in the narrow alleys, Xu Che came to a small iron gate and knocked lightly three times.

The door opened, and there was a guard with a solemn look, who asked solemnly: "How are you?"

Xu Che handed over a golden leaf, looking at the token in his hand, the guard's pupils trembled, quite surprised.

He never expected that this rare guest would participate in the auction again after many years.

So, the guard said respectfully: "I will lead the way for you, honored guest, please follow me."

Xu Che smiled faintly, quite expectantly, gently tugged on the black robe, his true face hidden under the bronze mask, stepped forward step by step, and stepped into the iron gate.
