Chapter 1563: First Entering the Dirty Street
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed, and the injuries of Lu Yun and others had healed one after another.
As for Wang Xiaoliu, after weighing the pros and cons, Lu Yun reluctantly accepted this younger brother.
Firstly, Wang Xiaoliu is from the upper realm and knows much more about the upper realm than they do.
Secondly, he is familiar with Apocalypse City, so after he leaves, Long Dapao and others will be taken care of!
Lu Yun planned to act alone after selling these treasures.
But the upcoming forging festival was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Lu Yun.
Needless to say, there will be a lot of people coming to watch the festival. When the ancient heavenly treasures flow out of Tianqi City, it will be tantamount to telling Tiandi Tower that they are here.
He had no choice but to lie low and wait until after the forging ceremony before selling these treasures.
But Wang Xiaoliu's words rekindled Lu Yun's hope, and he exclaimed: "This forging ceremony is prepared for me!"
This forging festival was originally held to compete for the title of the strongest blacksmith.
But gradually, the forging ceremony lost its original meaning!
More people came to Apocalypse City with other purposes.
Peddling, selling stolen goods, picking up bargains and more!
They don't care whether the competition is exciting or how skilled the contestants are. They only care about whether they can get what they want from it.
That’s how Dirty Street got its name!
Dirty Street will start holding auctions three days before the Forging Festival, one auction per day until the end of the festival.
Today happens to be the first day of the auction on Dirty Street.
After saying something to Long Ying and the others, Lu Yun and Long Dapao, led by Wang Xiaoliu, went to this mysterious dirty street.
But when they arrived, they were dumbfounded!
To put it nicely, this is a vegetable market street; to put it bluntly, it is just a crack squeezed out from a bunch of dirt corners.
"Brother Wang! Are you sure? Is this the dirty street you mentioned?" Long Dapao looked at the rugged path between the two rows of crooked earthen houses.
If Wang Xiaoliu hadn't brought him here, he might not have known that there would be such a dilapidated place in Tianqi City.
Wang Xiaoliu chuckled, "Brother Long! Although it's small, it has everything! Don't underestimate this dirty street, but the world inside will definitely surprise you!"
On the other hand, Lu Yun was much calmer.
After all, just from the literal meaning, he felt that this Dirty Street was definitely not any good, otherwise why would it be called Dirty Street!
Because we arrived early, there weren't many people on the dirty street. It was bustling and even the vendors looked bored!
"Mr. Lu! Stop looking. This is the outskirts of the dirty street. There's nothing good here!" Wang Xiaoliu called on the two to continue walking into the alley.
Faced with Wang Xiaoliu's shouting, Lu Yun, who was standing in front of a stall, remained unmoved!
Instead, he picked up a small square piece of wood from the stall in front of him, weighed it in his hand, and asked, "How much is this?"
The stall owner was an old man with messy gray hair. He looked up and then lowered his head and said, "One hundred thousand spirit stones!"
"One hundred thousand spirit stones for a piece of broken wood? Why don't you go and rob it, old man?" Wang Xiaoliu said, pinching his waist.
The old man still said in that indifferent tone: "Love or not!"
Lu Yun held the wood in his hand, nodded and said, "Okay! I can accept this price, but it's a bit unreasonable for you to ask me to buy a piece of wood with 100,000 spirit stones. How about this! You buy this thing to me and I'll give you 150,000 spirit stones?"
Lu Yun picked up a gourd that exuded an ancient atmosphere on the stall. It was the best treasure on the entire stall.
"This gourd is your target!" The old man snorted coldly: "Although I am old, I am not senile! I can still recognize the objects of the ancient heaven. You are too young to deceive me!"
The reason why the old man kept his head down was to let Lu Yun relax his vigilance and reveal his true thoughts, and Lu Yun was fooled!
"What? This gourd is actually a treasure of the ancient heaven?" Wang Xiaoliu's face was full of shock and disbelief!
His idea was exposed. Lu Yun touched his nose awkwardly and put the gourd back. "Since you have seen through it! Every failure is a lesson. I will pay for it. Here is 10,000 spirit stones and I will take this piece of wood!"
This time the old man didn't say anything else, so Lu Yun agreed and left after putting down 10,000 spirit stones.
Wang Xiaoliu, who was standing by, had a painful look on his face. "Master Lu! The dirty market is a place for picking up bargains. There's no need to have so many rules! There's no need to spend 10,000 spirit stones to buy a broken wooden lump! This is just a complete rip-off!"
The corners of Lu Yun's mouth slightly raised. He didn't explain, but his heart was already filled with joy!
That gourd, the treasure of the ancient heaven, is fake, right? It should be the remains of the monks who died in the ruins of the ancient heaven when they were opened last time. It is contaminated with the ancient heaven, but subconsciously, people still think that it is the most valuable thing, but in fact, this piece of wood is.
But Lu Yun also knew that the people in this dirty market were very shrewd. If he wanted to buy it through normal means, the other party would definitely ask for an exorbitant price.
The opening price of 100,000 spirit stones was just like that at the beginning, so Lu Yun dug a trap for the old man and glanced at the gourd with a hidden look.
The old man felt that he had ulterior motives and wanted to get something for nothing!
Lu Yun's action of picking up the gourd was exactly what the old man wanted, and it confirmed his thoughts.
This laid a solid foundation for his next purchase of wood at a 10% discount!
The reason why Lu Yun fell in love with this piece of wood at first sight was mainly because he felt a familiar breath on the wood.
Just when Wang Xiaoliu was heartbroken for Lu Yun's spending 10,000 spirit stones, he happened to see Long Dapao taking out 50,000 spirit stones bag by bag, handing them to a hooded stall owner, and taking a picture album from the other stall! He sneakily put it into his storage ring.
This scene almost made Wang Xiaoliu lose his breath and he fell backwards.
Over the past half month, he has more or less known that Lu Yun and others are very rich, but no matter how rich they are, they can't afford to spend like this!
"Brother Dapao! What did you buy? So mysterious?" Lu Yun walked over with a smile.
Long Dapao was startled at first, but he quickly laughed it off and said, "No...nothing! Nothing!"
He avoided looking and stuttered when speaking!
If you don't have any guilty conscience, no one will believe you!
Lu Yun didn't know Long Dapao yet, but he knew what it was without even thinking about it! He poked Long Dapao with his shoulder and said, "Brother Dapao! If Long Ying knew about this, it would be difficult to deal with!"
Long Dapao quickly begged for mercy: "You have to keep this a secret for me, brother!"
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
While the two were talking, a cry of surprise came from the depths of the dirty street ahead: "What? There will be treasures from the Ancient Heavenly Palace being auctioned at the auction today? Is this true?"
