Bai Jingchuan had already booked a private room in advance. After the three of them entered the private room, they quickly ordered some dishes and then started chatting animatedly.🍭💜 🐜★
" Patriarch Bai, to be honest, when I first met Mister Ning, I was quite skeptical of Mister Ning abilities. After all, Mister Ning looked too young."
"At that time, I happened to have invited another Martial Arts Master, and it was only after Mister Ning demonstrated his skills in front of me that I began to believe it."
"Later, it was thanks to Mister Ning's intervention that the Qi Family's arrogance was severely suppressed. I was completely stunned when I saw Mister Ning easily cripple the expert the Qi Family had hired."
"Who would have thought that Mister Ning's strength is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like myself? I witnessed it with you at the Seven Provinces Martial Alliance Competition last time, and I was truly amazed by Mister Ning's extraordinary abilities!"
"To be honest, it is truly Song great fortune to have met someone like Mister Ning in this lifetime..."
After a few drinks, Song Guowei really opened up.
He also consciously adjusted how he addressed Ning Wangshu, no longer daring to address him as "Brother Ning" as before, but instead using the respectful title " Mister Ning ".
Upon hearing Song Guowei's words, Bai Jingchuan couldn't help but smile slightly and echoed, "That's right. A person like Mister Ning is probably one of a kind in the entire Cultivation World."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Manager Song. If it weren't for your introduction, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet Mister Ning, and it would have allowed my Bai family to achieve such great success in the Seven Provinces Martial Alliance Competition!"
Hearing their flattery, Ning Wangshu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You two are too kind."
Song Guowei and Bai Jingchuan waved their hands repeatedly, saying, " Mister Ning, you are mistaken. We are merely stating the facts."
"Yes, these are our heartfelt words!"
As they chatted, Song Guowei suddenly brought up the jade Jade Qilin he had given Ning Wangshu as a graduation gift, saying, "Looking back now, I think that jade Jade Qilin I gave to Mister Ning was really too shabby."
"That thing is hardly worthy of Mister Ning's status!"
Ning Wangshu smiled and waved his hand, saying, " Manager Song, you're too kind. I quite like that Jade Qilin."
This is not just a polite remark.
After all, that jade Jade Qilin contained a Qilin egg, which hatched into Laifu, a genuine Qilin!
Song Guowei chuckled and replied, "I'm glad you like it, Mister Ning. I didn't know what gift to give you back then, so I asked Acheng to pick it out for me."
Upon hearing this, Ning Wangshu couldn't help but ask curiously, " Manager Song, where did you buy that Jade Qilin? Do you know its exact origin?"
Song Guowei said, "Oh, I heard Acheng mention it. He said he bought it from a jade shop in Linchuan. It's their prized possession."
"According to Acheng, the other party also bought it at the ' Four Seas Auction ' in Jiangnan City, spending nearly five million to win the bid."
"Then Acheng paid double the price to buy it. As for the specific origin of that Jade Qilin... that remains unknown. After all, the Four Seas Auction is an underground auction house, and the provenance of many of the items auctioned is..."
" Mister Ning, you should understand what I mean, right? Many things can't be done in the open, although occasionally some truly rare and unique items do appear."
"In short, the Four Seas Auction quite renowned among the wealthy. Not only in our Jiangnan Province, but also many wealthy individuals from all over the country come to participate in the auctions."
At this moment, Bai Jingchuan suddenly added, "Actually, there are cultivators behind the Four Seas Auction. Manager Song may not be aware of this."
"Furthermore, the Four Seas Auction actually only the one open to the public. In fact, there are two Four Seas Auction held each year."
"The first auction is open to the general public, targeting wealthy individuals. The second auction is exclusively for cultivators."
"A special invitation is required to participate. Most of the items up for auction are related to cultivation, such as rare medicinal herbs, cultivation manuals, Martial Arts techniques, and so on."
"There have even been a few auctions that featured the auctioning of spells and Magic Artifact."
Bai Jingchuan's words surprised Song Guowei, who said, "I didn't expect the Four Seas Auction to have a second auction specifically for cultivators. I hadn't heard of this before."
Bai Jingchuan chuckled and said, " Manager Song, you're not part of our circle, so naturally you wouldn't know."
After listening to the two, Ning Wangshu became quite interested in the " Four Seas Auction ", especially the auction that Song Guowei mentioned was only for cultivators!
Although Ning Wangshu didn't care for ordinary spells or Magic Artifact, he didn't lack those things.
However, after learning that Earth was not ordinary, especially with the example of " Laifu " as a case study, Ning Wangshu had no doubt that there were some truly powerful treasures or rare gems on Earth.
Ning Wangshu immediately asked, " Patriarch Bai, Manager Song, when exactly is this Four Seas Auction you mentioned held?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Jingchuan looked at Ning Wangshu and smiled, " Mister Ning, are you interested in this Four Seas Auction?"
"Hmm, I am somewhat interested. If I have the chance, I'd like to go and see for myself."
Ning Wangshu did not deny it.
Bai Jingchuan chuckled and said, " The Four Seas Auction is held every year in mid-to-late October, which is next month. If you're interested, Mister Ning, I can get an invitation from the Four Seas Auction and take you there."
Ning Wangshu and immediately said, "Alright! Then I'll have to Patriarch Bai."
"Hehe, Mister Ning, you're too kind."
Bai Jingchuan smiled slightly.
At this moment, Song Guowei couldn't hold back any longer and said, " Patriarch Bai, I wonder if you could take Song to see the second auction, which is only open to cultivators?"
Bai Jingchuan laughed and said, "Of course, I'll just ask Manager Song to come along."
"Very well! Thank you, Patriarch Bai!"
Song Guowei responded with some excitement.
Since coming into contact with cultivators, he has developed a strong interest in this field.
After discussing this matter, the group moved on to other topics.
While Ning Wangshu was eating, drinking, and chatting with Bai Jingchuan and Song Guowei, on the other side, in a private room at Juxingyuan Restaurant, Ma Junfan and others were also eating, drinking, and chatting.
At that moment, a young man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old walked into their private room, holding a glass of wine. "Gentlemen," he said, "Since it's Friday, we have a lot of guests. Please excuse any shortcomings in our hospitality."
"You're all Xiaojie's classmates. It's a big favor that you came to my gathering. Please enjoy yourselves and have a good time. If you need anything, just let me know."
"Then... after you've finished eating, I should be almost done with my work here. I'll treat you all to some karaoke!"
"If you ever want to have a get-together in the future, feel free to come to my place. No matter who brings someone, just mention Xiaojie's name and I'll give you a 20% discount!"
The young man said with a smile.
