During this trip to Beicang Auction, Chen Ping'an mainly wanted to achieve two purposes.
The first is to sell several treasures accumulated on his body in an anonymous form, such as the pair of mandarin duck swords obtained by Guan Yuping, the Yin Jie Sword Xing Rongzi's dark long sword, and Fang Qixian's Qinghong Sword. . In addition, there are also sharp blades seized from Wan Yuanze, Tota Hand Dingtong and others.
These things are useless for him to keep on his body. Besides taking up space, he has to think about them all the time.
Simply take this opportunity to sell them all.
The Beicang auction was grand in scale, selling off a few treasures and sharp blades, but it was inconspicuous.
If Lin Lin Zongzong sells all these things, he should be able to harvest fifty or sixty yuan crystals. In addition, taking into account what he had gained from the Yin Jie Sword and some gifts he received later, his net worth should be more than seventy yuan crystals.
However, these net worths do not include his exquisite treasure, the Earth Crocodile Golden Flame Sword.
This knife alone is more than the number above.
Speaking of which, the Crocodile Golden Flame Sword cannot be said to be useless to today's Chen Pingan, but overall, its effect is limited. For him, the role of this fine treasure as a facade is far greater than its substance.
He used the Earth Crocodile Golden Flame Sword to perform the secret skill of the Swift Wind Sword Technique, slashing with the swift wind. Even with the miraculous power of high-quality treasures, in terms of power, there is actually a big gap between the power of the magical secret skills and the power of the Fire Finger.
After all, the gap between superior skills and magical skills cannot be bridged with a fine treasure.
The magic weapon is almost the same!
“However, whether it is a fine treasure, it can also be used as an ordinary means on the surface.”
When it comes to means, Chen Pingan’s finger skills are far better than those of sword skills. Or maybe he is stronger in sword and palm skills!
As for Chen Ping'an, who was truly at full strength, he used all his strength to activate the indestructible power of the Vajra and transformed into the form of a golden indestructible little giant. At that time, he was in the peak state where he could truly compete with the Grandmaster.
"Strength has improved so fast that foreign objects can no longer keep up!" Chen Ping'an couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Normal people would not have such troubles as him. I had just prepared a new weapon, but in the blink of an eye I couldn’t keep up!
Just like before, an ordinary police officer's sword was enough for him to do what he did. But it didn't take long before the sharp-edged Bailu Dao was needed. Then there is the high-quality sharp-edged Yan Ling Dao, and then the next treasure is the high-quality treasure, the Earth Crocodile Golden Flame Knife!
“At this speed, I don’t need to seek any quasi-magical weapons now. Even if I do, I’m afraid it won’t take long and we will be eliminated soon.”
“Just do it. Take one step and find a way to get a magic weapon!”
Thinking of this, Chen Ping'an couldn't help but smile. However, this is just a joke.
The magic weapon is indestructible, how rare it is!
The vast majority of grandmasters can only have one quasi-magical weapon as their main weapon.
If it were a true magic weapon, even the master would be jealous and would not hesitate to take action!
Chen Pingan wants the magic weapon, so he must compete with the grandmaster!
However, fortunately, Chen Ping'an now practices two major magical arts and does not have much desire for weapons. It would save him a lot of things.
For Chen Pingan, the most important thing is the exercises he practices. This is the core source of his continuous improvement in martial arts realm.
Judging from his current level of martial arts, ordinary exercises have very little effect on him, and can be said to be useless. If you want to really gain help, you must at least be at the magical level.
So, Chen Pingan’s second purpose is to obtain a magical skill. Now that he has perfected the magical power of Vajra Indestructibility, and the three-point human tribulation finger is not too far away from perfection, he urgently needs a new magical skill as a basis for his foundation.
Judging from his current net worth, it is probably unlikely that he will obtain a magical skill through auction.
But nowadays, the important town of Beicang is amidst the storm and the gathering of masters, and there are faint masters of evil ways and demons appearing among them. There is no guarantee that someone will not harbor evil intentions. If someone wants to cause trouble, wouldn't he be able to reap some benefits by taking advantage of the situation?
It doesn’t matter if you don’t encounter a suitable opportunity or reap the benefits. Just try your luck. It’s good to understand your own strength and positioning through actual combat. After all, all current judgments are based on his own considerations and have not yet been tested in actual combat.
In addition, a grandmaster may appear at the Beicang auction, and he may have the opportunity to see the grandmaster's elegance.
With this idea in mind, Chen Ping'an quickly prepared to leave for the important town of Beicang.
Following his order, Wufengshan Town Fusi quickly prepared a bicycle frame for him. In addition, there were more than a dozen elites accompanying him.
Just when Chen Pingan was about to leave Wufeng Mountain City, a fast horse entered the city overnight, and the latest news of patrols on the periphery of the trade route came.
"You Yongming, a humble officer, please see the commander!" A man in black shirt with a resolute face walked quickly into the hall, knelt on the ground with one knee, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.
"Get up!" Chen Pingan sat on the big chair in the main hall and said calmly.
Back then, he had just been transferred to the periphery of the trade route and served as deputy patrol envoy. Among the many general banners stationed in Wufeng Mountain, You Yongming was the one who supported him the most.
Chen Ping'an spent a lot of money to buy the bones, and after the Tianluo Sect was wiped out, he specially reported his merits. The Fusi of Weishui Town awarded him a commendation, and now You Yongming is the resident deputy, commanding officer alternate level. It can also be regarded as one of Chen Ping'an's confidants.
Although Chen Ping'an was not at Wufeng Mountain City these days, You Yongming often reported on matters surrounding the trade route and the situation within the station. Corresponding matters are all under Chen Pingan's control.
"Yes, sir!" You Yongming shouted and stood up. "Sir, I have important information from my humble position!"
"A caravan robbery and murder occurred on the outskirts of the trade route! A small caravan coming from Liyang County was attacked in the area of Hongfeng Mountain. Robbery, dozens of caravan members died on the spot! The incident spread to the surrounding Hongfeng Market. According to reliable information, it should be the perpetrators of the Wan Demon Sect!" "Chen Ping'an? In a flash, it landed on You Yongming.
You Yongming showed a look of respect on his face and replied simply and neatly: "Returning to your Excellency, from the traces on the scene and the corresponding intelligence analysis, it can be judged that the robbers are from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. In addition, the caravan There were Xuanguangjing among them, but they also failed to escape and died on the spot. According to the traces of the battle, there are suspected to be several Xuanguangjing among the thieves of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. "
Like the caravan robbery, Chen Ping An had heard of it before, but it did not happen in the area under his jurisdiction. But now, the robbery and murder of the caravan happened just outside the trade route, in the Hongfeng Mountain area. Moreover, the situation was so bad that dozens of people in the caravan died tragically.
Once this incident occurs, if there is no proper handling, it will have an extremely negative impact on the surrounding areas and the caravans that come and go.
Logically speaking, as a patrol officer on the periphery of the trade route, he has some jurisdictional responsibilities. But the matter involves the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, and the one who should really consider handling this matter should be the Weishui Town Fusi or the Qiankun Division!
He is about to leave for the important town of Beicang. If he starts to deal with this matter, he may delay the Beicang auction. But.
“The Ten Thousand Demons Cult!”
The candlelight in the hall flickered, reflecting on Chen Pingan's face, leaving mottled shadows. Chen Ping'an's expression seemed a little unclear. He raised his head slightly. For some reason, he thought of old Chen Tou. After a long time, a voice sounded in the main hall.
"Send the order, prepare your bags, and follow me to Hongfeng Mountain!"
"Yes!"
The night is already dark, and the people of Wufeng Mountain City are The city gate had long been closed, but under the urgent order of the Zhenfu Division, it was hurriedly opened. A group of ten riders left Wufeng Mountain City overnight under the cover of darkness.
Chen Pingan left Wufeng Mountain City and galloped towards Hongfeng Mountain. At the same time, he also sent an urgent order from Wufeng Mountain City to the Wufeng Mountain Station, ordering Wufeng Mountain to inspect the officers, strengthen the patrol force, provide comprehensive vigilance, and focus on certain areas to prevent the Wan Demon Cult thieves from causing chaos again.
The news that thieves from the Ten Thousand Demon Cult were out in the Hongfeng Mountain area, robbing and killing dozens of people in the caravan, and no one was spared, also reached the ears of Fusi and Qiankun Division of Weishui Town at a very fast speed.
However, when they received the news, Chen Pingan rushed to the Hongfeng Mountain area outside the commercial road. As a territorial guard, he has a natural location advantage in terms of message transmission.
More than ten people rode galloping and rushed to the vicinity of Hongfeng Mountain. By the time they arrived, it was already dark. You Yongming rode on a tall horse and bowed his hands respectfully to Chen Pingan.
"My lord, this is it."
Chen Ping'an's eyes narrowed, he got off his horse and looked around. Surrounded by dry mountains and rocks, although there is an official road, the whole place is a bit desolate.
At this time, the bodies of those who died tragically in the caravan have been disposed of, but the traces of the robbery and murder by the thieves of the Ten Thousand Demon Cult have not yet been completely removed. The surroundings can be said to be a mess, with dark, dried blood everywhere.
“Tell me about the specific situation at that time!”
“Yes!” You Yongming respectfully obeyed the order.
He briefly explained the general situation to Chen Pingan on the way. But the specific situation still needs to be described on the spot to make it clearer.
Under You Yongming's narration, Chen Pingan quickly understood the cause and effect of the incident.
This caravan came from Dihuo County, passed through Weishui County, took a break at the surrounding Red Maple Market, and intended to go to Qingling Prefecture for business transactions through Long'an Trade Road. The size of the caravan is not too large, and there is only one Xuanguang Realm master in charge.
If it were normal, a caravan of this size would naturally not be qualified to trade between the two states. Not to mention the journey, but the monsters on the Canglong Mountain Range are not something they can deal with. Even if they are lucky enough to pass through the mountains, many of the goods may have to stay in the mountains.
But today is different from the past. Long'an Trade Road has been officially put into operation, and monsters along the way have been cleared up on a large scale. Even if the caravan is of average size, it is still qualified to trade between the two states.
I believe that the organizers of the caravan came here full of excitement and excitement, thinking about the benefits of this trip. But, I never thought that I would encounter such a thing!
I unexpectedly met a bandit from the Ten Thousand Demon Cult here!
"After attacking the caravan, where did the thieves of the Ten Thousand Demons Cult go? Are there any traces of them?" Chen Pingan asked.
"Sir, by the time we received the news, it was already too late. We lost the best opportunity to track the thieves of the Ten Thousand Demon Cult!" You Yongming said with his head lowered.
"Yes." Chen Pingan nodded. He had expected this. If the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was so easy to track, they would have wiped out all the Ten Thousand Demons Sect in one fell swoop.
“Go to the Red Maple Market!” Chen Pingan got on his horse and waved his hand gently.
The largest market in the Hongfeng Mountain area is the Hongfeng Market. The caravan was resting there before being robbed and killed! It just so happens that this place is not far from the Red Maple Market, and it is relatively convenient to go there. If you go, you might find something!
“Yes!” You Yongming responded.
With horses galloping, a group of ten people headed towards the Red Maple Market.
When Chen Ping'an was going to Hongfeng Market, Lipingjiang had just arrived at Wufeng Mountain City from Wufeng Mountain Station.
"Chen Ping'an, I don't care how you hide, tonight is the day you die."
Lipingjiang wore a black shirt and a bamboo hat and entered Wufeng Mountain City. He had already made up his mind to attack and kill Chen Pingan overnight! In this regard, even if he had to take some risks, he couldn't care less.
This matter has been delayed for too long! If it continues like this, Old Man Qijue may become dissatisfied with him.
"After I kill Chen Pingan, I will go to Beicang Auction!"
Li Pingjiang's eyes flashed and he walked into the nearest wine shop. He wants to get information here.
The Hongfeng Market is located at the foot of Hongfeng Mountain, with the mountains at its back, and the surrounding environment is quite pleasant. Although it is a market, it occupies a large area, almost equivalent to a large village.
Although large markets and markets like these outside the city don't look so beautiful, sometimes the things sold there are not necessarily worse than those in the treasure pavilions in the city.
Even, due to the lack of supervision, things that are not yet available in Neibao Pavilion often appear in these places. Moreover, there are some large black markets hidden behind these large markets and bazaars.
Of course, this information cannot be put on the table.
In short, Hongfeng Market has all three religions and nine schools. The interests are intertwined with each other, and the overall ecological situation is not much simpler than that in the so-called city.
Like the power structure in Hongfeng Market, when Chen Ping'an was familiar with the surrounding conditions of the trade routes, he had read through special file information.
The most important forces in the Hongfeng Market are mainly three families, the Huang family, a family born and raised around Hongfeng Mountain, the shop alliance of the community of interests in the market, and a large gang, the Tielan Gang.
Well, the Tielan Gang is the official name for it. In fact, according to his internal name, it is called Tielan Escort Agency. Mainly to provide bodyguards and protection for some forces or individuals.
The three major forces are entrenched in the Red Maple Market. While guarding the huge interests, they absorb the nutrients to support themselves.
After receiving the news that Chen Ping'an, the patrol envoy on the periphery of the trade route, was about to arrive at the Hongfeng Market, the leaders of the three major forces in the market all trembled in their hearts and looked panicked.
"Why did this great god come here in person?"
