Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

Keqing turned her head to look at the Book of Heaven and Earth, but the Book of Heaven and Earth remained silent, and it didn't know what to say.

Even the system couldn't help it.

[Master, this is a bit dazzling...]

"Yes, some..."

Didn’t you see that the animals were blinded by the light and couldn’t see the road?

[Do you want to cover it for a moment? ]

"Cover it up?"

Keqing looked up at the old Hila pupil above, and finally made a decision that would make the little jellyfish sad. She covered her mount with a layer of cloth to cover the sparkling moon pupils.

Without the light of the moon and the sun, the whole sky finally became normal. It was because the sun was rotating too fast that the shadow on the ground was rotating very fast, making it feel like a day was passing by like a year.

And when viewed from below, the sun pulling the moon, which is covered by a quilt, looks a bit like a large meteor.

No matter what, it's good to be normal, right?

System/Book of Heaven and Earth: If this is considered normal...

……

"Tsk tsk, these disciples from aristocratic families are really rich. They really made a fortune this time."

"I didn't expect that Yuxin City and Jinglei City would have such a conflict, and the one from Qingquan City is actually a big fool. And Dan City... is really rich, and they spend lavishly on things."

Looking at the auction house's income, Ye Shang couldn't stop smiling.

The first thing Keqing saw when she arrived was his smiling face.

"It seems that everything is going well. You are smiling so happily."

"Hey, Lord City Lord, have you solved the problem?"

Ye Shang was delighted to see Keqing coming.

"You didn't see it, the auction house's grand event, thanks to your idea, the effect of the auction exceeded expectations."

"Oh? Tell me specifically."

Keqing listened attentively.

"It's the live broadcast and movie viewing array you came up with. You may not know that the first show was not very popular. Even though there were people specially assigned to raise the price, the aristocratic families were very reserved and did not bid."

Speaking of this, Ye Shang couldn't stop smiling.

"However, when they came out, they found out that we actually had this thing called a viewing array, and their auction was clearly seen by other people in Licheng."

"You don't know what everyone loves most, gossip. They can tell you something about any movement in the auction house, even if it's something that has no foundation. Thanks to your previous instructions, I sent someone to stir up trouble and guide the public opinion. Don't you know how popular the people in the Hundred Cities were when they heard those words?"

"What? The Zhang family can't compete with the Li family. They seem to be prosperous, but in fact they have fallen. Fairy Mingning has expressed her desire for the nectar, but the eldest son of the Wang family, who she is pursuing, can't afford it after just a few pats. What a poor guy."

Speaking of this, Ye Shang smiled.

"This is related to the city's image. Although it doesn't really help those people, we have a viewing array and we can keep the photos. If it gets out, those people will definitely lose face."

"As you said, the auction house, which had been tepid, immediately became agitated the next day. You may not know that the same price doubled on the second day, and tripled on the third day. Plus, with that person fanning the flames, the expectations this time were greatly raised!"

The spiritual stones and waste stones flowed into the warehouse, which was really eye-catching.

"That's it. I hope everything goes well. However, all these things belong to the two seniors. Don't have any sneaky ideas."

"Look at what you said. How dare I... But the advertising you proposed before is really effective. The sales have increased more than ten times in just half a day. Now the bidding for advertising quotas has increased a lot. Many chambers of commerce are vying to bid. There are also those movie viewing formations and those consumption in hundreds of cities. Now the income of Licheng has increased visibly."

Speaking of this, Ye Shang's face was full of admiration. The income from these few days was enough to pay several years' salary. Why would he be so stupid as to do something with the auction house's income?

Even Ye Shang knew that those things were the face given to the City Lord by the two seniors, and were also obtained through the favor of the City Lord. If Licheng wanted to get on the right track, it could not rely solely on the City Lord, but required everyone to work together.

Besides, she had heard before that the thing seemed to be... that person's betrothal gift...how could he dare not have such an idea?

"Is the auction over?"

Keqing counted on her fingers and found that about seven days had passed, so it should be over.

"Yes! It just ended yesterday. You didn't see it. The last day was a chaotic one. The True Lords couldn't hold back. If it weren't for the viewing formation and the general public watching, I'm afraid there would have been a fire."

"Where's the longevity pill? Was it bought by Guiyi City?"

Ye Shang nodded, then his expression turned serious.

"This Guiyi City is indeed the leader among the hundred cities.

, the True Lord who came here only bid a price, but the other cities did not bid. "

Keqing asked doubtfully.

"So, the price of the Longevity Pill was not raised?"

"No, clearly no one bid, but the True Lord of Guiyi City actually took the initiative to bid again, raising the price three times."

Keqing paused, thoughtful.

Seeing Keqing pondering, Ye Shang quickly said,

"Lord City Lord, it seems that the reputation of Guiyi City is even stronger than you imagined. You don't know the situation at that time. No one dared to compete with us. No one even dared to try. Guiyi City is a strong enemy. Even if you have that person as a backup, it is still uncertain who will help whom. You have to be careful."

"A strong enemy? Are you trying to compete with Guiyicheng?"

"Why not? Since we are already one of the Hundred Cities, we can compete for the ranking of the Hundred Cities. Lord City Lord, you have developed Li City into a Hundred Cities that even they have to recognize in just a few years. Why can't it be the same in the future? Guiyi City is nothing. Sooner or later, we will replace it."

Keqing was stunned and looked at Ye Shang, and found that his expression was serious and his tone was excited, as if he really believed so and had great ambitions.

"Since you have this intention, thank you for your help."

Keqing smiled.

She was not very interested in competing for the first place. Firstly, it was easy to go from zero to seventy or eighty, but it was very difficult to go from seventy or eighty to one hundred. Since Guiyi City was the leader of Huangzhou, their connections, influence, reputation, and the combat power behind them were beyond their reach. Those were the result of thousands or tens of thousands of years of accumulation. How could it be that easy?

Secondly, she founded Li City only because she wanted to establish a foothold when she first arrived in Huangzhou. Seeing the people in Huangsha City suffering so much, she felt the same way, so she wanted to make a change and asked for a place among the Hundred Cities. After all, only one of the Hundred Cities has the quota for the border ships to pass through.

Today, Licheng has become a city with hundreds of people, and Huangsha City has transformed from its original poverty to its current peace and prosperity, which can be said to have exceeded her expectations.

Therefore, Keqing doesn’t actually have any big ideas about whether or not she can become number one.

It is impossible for her to focus her energy on Licheng or Huangzhou, and the end of her journey is not in Huangzhou.

Her thoughts were somewhat distracted, but soon she came back to her senses.

"Hmm... where are they? Have they left?"

"No, I'm still in the city..."

Having said this, Ye Shang paused.

"I guess they are planning to get the longevity pills. After all, ever since we sent out the news, alchemists have flocked here, so Baicheng must be skeptical about the number of longevity pills."

"I think Guiyi City is offering a high price for this reason..."

"So they didn't contact you? Are those True Lords really so obedient?"

Since they are after the longevity elixir, Keqing doesn't believe they would be so honest, as he is a true lord.

"This... isn't your person here? I don't think those True Lords would dare to act recklessly. However, someone asked me about the longevity pill. You were not here, so I didn't dare to respond casually. I just vaguely said I didn't know."

"There are even people in Guiyi City who said that as long as they have the Longevity Pill, the price of Huangshi is not a problem, but at the same time, tell me something."

"What?"

"It's easy to lift it up, but it's also easy to drop it."

Keqing was in deep thought.

"It seems that this Guiyi City is threatening people. Is it Diao Mu who said this, or is it the True Lord who led the team?"

"It should be the intention of that True Lord."

"So it seems like you have an idea in mind?"

Keqing is not afraid of threats, and she doesn't care, but... one longevity pill is definitely not enough. Those people definitely didn't come here to bid for that longevity pill, otherwise Guiyi City would not have been the only one in the end.

And if I go to those cities next, I will surely not be able to hide the news...

It is better to take the initiative than to be passive at that time.

She nodded and thought for a moment, then gave the order.

"Well, you send someone to notify... organize a small auction and invite all the True Lords leading teams from the 100 cities to participate."

"If they want the longevity pill, you can tell them that they can bid for it... Just say..." Keqing thought for a moment, "Just say that the material is hard to come by, and in fifty years, you can only make three furnaces at most, and each furnace has three pills. The highest bidder wins, and there is no limit on rare materials or treasures."

"what do you mean……"

Keqing shook her head.

"It's fine if he just gave it up, and it's okay because of the reputation of Guiyi City. But if there are so many, if he is greedy, it will not be so easy for him to dominate."

According to the news brought by Diao Mu, this True Lord seemed to be in urgent need of a large amount of longevity pills for some reason.

Oh, it will be interesting then.

"Then I'll go and prepare it right away."

Ye Shang was very efficient. In less than a day, he planned to hold a small auction and spread the news about the longevity elixir.

The True Lords were ready to make a move, thinking that it was just as expected.

As expected, Licheng had extra longevity pills, and he was eager to try them out.

Before, there was only one longevity pill, and it was taken away by Guiyi City. Everyone was dissatisfied, but they also expected it so they didn’t say anything. But now Keqing has announced that there are actually three furnaces of longevity pills!

Although it’s just a quota, not the actual thing, but who wouldn’t want it!!

For a moment, people's hearts were in turmoil.

Upon hearing the news, Minghui Zhenjun of Guiyi City was so angry that he threw his sleeves and slammed the table.

The sudden release of pressure

Even the servants from Guiyi City who were serving around felt it and fell to the ground, trembling.

Diao Mu naturally sensed it as well. She thought about it and pushed open the door.

"Why is Master Ming Zhen angry?"

Diao Mu walked in and waved for others to leave.

"It's the eldest lady... It's because Licheng didn't give me face! I clearly told the other party that I was willing to buy her longevity pills, and the price was not limited. However, Licheng was so disrespectful that it actually released the auction house's auction quota. What did they do to me?"

Diao Mu frowned.

"Why should I be angry? My father clearly said that we can exchange natural treasures when necessary. Isn't that good?"

"Oh, how can a mere longevity pill be exchanged for a treasure from heaven and earth? Miss, you are a woman and you don't understand. This Licheng is too arrogant. We need to suppress it. Do you understand?"

and then--

Diao Mu sneered in his heart but did not show it on his face.

"But if we become enemies with Li Cheng, then what will my father tell us..."

“Miss, our Guiyi City is the leader among hundreds of cities, how dare Li City disobey.” Ming Hui waved his hand, impatient with Diao Mu’s indecision, and turned to talk about his own business, “Miss, my son said before that you always ignore him. I said you are such a stubborn child. My son is very talented. Although he has reached the Nascent Soul stage this year, I think your marriage…”

Diao Mu's face turned cold.

"Master, don't mention anything irrelevant!"

A person with natural talent, but what kind of intelligence is that which is enhanced by elixirs!

"Hey, how can this be irrelevant? The city lord has already agreed. You can get married after you have spent some time together. Qi'er likes you very much, so I guess..."

"True Lord..."

Diao Mu's voice suddenly became louder and his face looked a little grim.

"Master, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

He left without any courtesy after saying this.

Ming Hui narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, what are you so proud of? You are just a puppet."

At the same time, Diao Mu, who walked out of the yard, was also thinking.

"I'll let you be proud for now, but then it will be your death."
