Alien Super Search
Chapter 122 Dark Iron
The old method that Xia Zhanhong mentioned was naturally gambling. The capital of the imperial dynasty had a radius of thousands of miles, and there were no less than [-] large casinos, and countless small casinos.To get a thousand pieces of blue crystals from it, in his mind, it would be extremely easy.
Having made up his mind, Xia Zhanhong turned around and returned to his courtyard, and began to refine Tiaoyuan Pill.
In the next day, Xia Zhanhong sent the refined Tiaoyuan Pill directly to the Pavilion of Rare Treasures.
As soon as he entered the gate on the first floor, the girl named Xiao Lian called him: "Young Master Xia, have you finished refining the Tiaoyuan Pill? Just leave it to me!"
Xia Zhanhong paused, frowned slightly, turned around and walked over, and put two hundred pills on the counter.
After counting the pills, Xiao Lian picked up a pen, wrote a receipt, stamped it, and handed it to Xia Zhanhong, then ignored him, turned around and went to work on other things.
Seeing Xiao Lian like this, Xia Zhanhong frowned even tighter, and wanted to ask about Mo Zixuan's condition, but his lips muttered twice, and finally turned and left without making a sound.
After walking out of the Pavilion of Rare Treasures, for some reason, Xia Zhanhong felt an indescribable irritability in his mood. At this moment, he didn't notice that a faint golden light was flowing up and down on the pages of the book in his mind.
On the third floor of the Pavilion of Rare Treasures, Mo Zixuan stood behind the window, silently watching Xia Zhanhong's back gradually drifting away, two lines of tears fell from his eyes.
"Miss..." Uncle Cheng came up from behind and called softly, but he didn't know how to persuade her!
Mo Zixuan raised her hand, gently wiped away her tears, and murmured: "The Great Elder is about to break through and retreat again...I can't harm him!"
Uncle Cheng frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked softly: "Three days later, Hou Baiyi from the Ziyang Sect will come to see you, maybe things will turn around!"
Mo Zixuan said coldly: "He doesn't want me to marry him! How is it different from those old guys who forced me to marry into the Central Temple!"
"Miss! Did you see me or not?" Uncle Cheng asked, frowning.
Mo Zixuan frowned and thought for a while, then took a deep breath, and said: "See! You can marry me if you want, but the conditions are not that simple! I have to be in charge of the Qizhenyibao Pavilion for at least 30 years... say Maybe it can help him become the top figure in Tianyan Continent..."
Uncle Cheng was silent for a while when he heard this, and finally heaved a deep sigh, turned around and went downstairs.
While walking, Xia Zhanhong silently used the nine-turn silk-wrapping breathing method, and his anxious mood gradually calmed down.
Instead of going home, he came directly to Zhao's house.The porter already knew him and knew that he was a friend of the crown prince, so he didn't dare to delay at all, so he hurriedly led him into the mansion, served tea in the living room, and hurried to inform Zhao Xiang.
After a while, Zhao Xiang walked in, laughed and said, "Usually I'm the one who looks for you, but today is the first time you've come to look for me!" Then he raised his hand and waved back and forth.
Xia Zhanhong smiled awkwardly, and waited until the servants had exited the hall, and then said: "Brother Zhao, I want to play a few games in the casino, do you have any good suggestions!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiang showed a pensive look on his face, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.After a while, he asked with a serious face: "Brother, you are definitely not a gambler. Now that you are going to the casino, it is absolutely impossible to play a few games... Do you want to..."
Xia Zhanhong didn't intend to hide it from him at all, and said with a soft smile: "Yes, I'm a little tight now, and I won't go back to the building with you in a few days. It would be embarrassing if I can't get the money!"
Zhao Xiang just wanted to say that I will pay for you, but thinking about Xia Zhanhong's temperament, he swallowed the words again.After thinking for a while, he said, "Brother, since you dare to go to the casino to make money, you must have a way to do it... However, I don't recommend you to go!"
"Oh?" Xia Zhanhong moved his body and asked in confusion, "Brother Zhao, why is this?"
Zhao Xiang glanced at Xia Zhanhong, and said quietly: "The ones who run casinos only pay money, not pay! If you win thirty or fifty blue crystals, of course it doesn't matter, but if you win a lot, they will give you money." They will send masters to bet with you! If the masters lose to you again...the big casinos in the capital city are all related to various families. Once there is a conflict, this beam will be formed...Brother, you came to the capital city to seek development Yes, it's not worth it to turn against a family if you can't win a hundred and eighty blue crystals!"
"And!" Zhao Xiang paused, and said softly: "Besides, the biggest casino in the city is opened by my Zhao family. Except for the ore gambling in Qihang, which has nothing to do with us, all other casinos regard us as the leader! Brother, if If there is a conflict with them, it will be more difficult for my Zhao family to be in the middle!"
"Ah!" Xia Zhanhong froze for a moment, with an embarrassed expression on his face.But after a while, his expression suddenly changed, showing a thoughtful look.
At this time, Zhao Xiang continued: "How about this! You take the money from me first, even if I lent you..."
"Wait...Brother Zhao, did you just say you can bet on ore?" Xia Zhanhong turned his head and looked at Zhao Xiang.In his last life, he didn't have much contact with one of the world's three largest commercial firms, so he didn't have a deep impression, but he vaguely seemed to know about the ore betting.
Zhao Xiang looked at Xia Zhanhong with some astonishment, and murmured: "Brother, you are going to the Qi Shop to gamble on ore, right? That is purely a means of collecting money from the Qi Shop, with a [-]-to-[-] chance, it is impossible to choose it! "
Xia Zhanhong waved his hands, and said seriously: "I've heard of Qixing betting on ore, but I don't know what's going on! Brother Zhao, tell me about it!"
Zhao Xiang took a deep look at Xia Zhanhong, nodded and said, "You should know that in every mine, there will be top grades. Just like there is red tin in tin ore, and condensed iron in iron ore. Iron... many of these natural materials are wrapped in ore, except for a few that have different weights, compared with other ores, both in appearance and weight, they are almost the same!"
"So, Qihang mixed the ore wrapped with natural materials with ordinary ore for gambling... A piece of red tin the size of a palm is worth one hundred blue crystals, and the auction will not exceed three hundred blue crystals. But they mixed it with 99 pieces of ore, and each piece cost twenty blue crystals... Calculated according to the ratio, if you don’t spend thousands of blue crystals, don’t even think about picking one!”
"Actually, everyone knows what's going on, but there are still many people who bet on the [-]-to-[-] chance. In addition, even those who are in a hurry to use materials but can't find them elsewhere can only spend more money. Money to gamble ore..."
Xia Zhanhong nodded lightly, and then said to himself with some doubts: "Since it is so difficult to distinguish, how do they know which ore is covered with natural materials?"
Zhao Xiang shook his head with a smile, and said: "All the forces on Tianyan Road want to know the secret of Qi Xing!"
Xia Zhanhong was silent for a moment, stood up, and said in a low voice, "Okay! Let's try our luck at the Qi store!"
Zhao Xiang looked at Xia Zhanhong and frowned: "Brother, if you really want to go, you should think about it. The ratio of one hundred to one is almost guaranteed to lose!"
Turning his head to look at Zhao Xiang, Xia Zhanhong showed a confident smile on his face: "I've decided, I'll go there, how about Brother Zhao, are you interested in going with me?"
After opening and closing his lips a few times, Zhao Xiang finally sighed and left the seat.
After leaving Zhao's house, under the guidance of Zhao Xiang, the two went straight to Qixing.On the way, Zhao Xiang looked at Xia Zhanhong with a smile on his face, and couldn't help thinking in his heart: "Brother Xia has such an expression, it is clear that he is very sure... Could it be that he has some clever tricks!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiang couldn't help but look forward to it.
As one of the three major commercial firms in Tianyan Continent, Qizhengyibao Pavilion and Linglongzhai are as famous as Qizhenyibao Pavilion and Linglongzhai. The branch in the imperial capital also occupies a large area.
Different from buildings like the Rare and Treasure Pavilion, the Qihang takes up a whole side street.After Xia Zhanhong followed Zhao Xiang from the street, he saw seven or eight shops lined up on both sides of the street more than 50 meters away, and each shop had a huge signboard hanging on the door.
"The things sold in each shop are different. There are weapons, mechanisms, ores, herbs, and elixirs. Of course, these shops sell ordinary items. Good things, they are all put in the auction!" While explaining, Zhao Xiang led Xia Zhanhong to the innermost part of the street.
The innermost one is not a shop, but a huge courtyard. After entering the courtyard, I found that there are not a few people inside, surrounded by large groups.
The two came to a sparser crowd and stood watching from the sidelines, only to see that there was an area surrounded by blue bricks. In this area, circular ores the size of a sea bowl were neatly arranged.A sign was erected next to the area, which read: Natural sharp copper, choose one ore from a hundred blue crystals.
In a corner of the area, a man in Tsing Yi sat there with an indifferent face, silent, only raising his eyes to scan the crowd of onlookers from time to time.
Turning his head to look at Xia Zhanhong, Zhao Xiang asked softly: "Brother, do you want to try your hand? This natural sharp copper is a good thing. It is extremely sharp and extremely dense. It is very effective to add blades when refining weapons!" Among all the mines listed in the tool row, this one should be regarded as the best!"
Xia Zhanhong shook his head with a smile: "No hurry, let's see again!" As he spoke, he walked towards another group of people.
There are a total of ten areas in the entire courtyard. Xia Zhanhong looked over one by one, Ning Tie, Chi Tin, Shen Jian Shi... until he reached the innermost one, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
In the area surrounded by blue bricks, the dark polygonal ore is shining, and the sign beside the area reads: Natural black iron, choose one ore from a hundred blue crystals!
Seeing Xia Zhanhong stop, Zhao Xiang asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you want to buy black iron?"
Xia Zhanhong nodded slightly, and was about to use the detailed positioning function on the ore, when suddenly a voice sounded from behind: "Little friend, you have come to the capital, why don't you come to me!"
Having made up his mind, Xia Zhanhong turned around and returned to his courtyard, and began to refine Tiaoyuan Pill.
In the next day, Xia Zhanhong sent the refined Tiaoyuan Pill directly to the Pavilion of Rare Treasures.
As soon as he entered the gate on the first floor, the girl named Xiao Lian called him: "Young Master Xia, have you finished refining the Tiaoyuan Pill? Just leave it to me!"
Xia Zhanhong paused, frowned slightly, turned around and walked over, and put two hundred pills on the counter.
