Chapter 256

Xihai Province, located in the northwest of China, is the starting point of the ancient Silk Road.

Xihai respects the Ye family, but the Gongsun family is the most promising one to catch up with them.

It can be seen from this that the Gongsun family's influence in Xihai is very unusual.

Wu'an city, the headquarters of Gongsun family.

Chen Mo, dressed in black casual clothes, left the high-speed railway station. Now it's more than seven o'clock in the evening. Chen Mo finds a hotel to stay.

But along the way, Chen Mo found some strange things. There are many warriors here!

However, the strength of these fighters is not very high. Most of them are from outside, and there are also from inside, but the proportion is only one tenth.

Some of these warriors, like Chen Mo, are staying in the same hotel, obviously not from Wu'an.

At night, when Chen Mo was practicing, his divine consciousness was released, and he inquired about the reason why the martial arts gathered.

It turned out to be Dangui Pavilion in Wu'an city. A reception will be held tomorrow.

Wu zhe certainly won't care about these ordinary cocktail parties, so Chen Mo thinks that tomorrow's cocktail party is not simple.

Write down this matter secretly, and Chen Mo continues to practice.

The next day, Chen Mo followed two warriors to Dangui Pavilion.

Danguige is actually a drugstore. It's a rare pure Chinese medicine shop in China. Chen Mo went in and found that the herbs sold here are very complete, and some herbs can even be used to refine some basic pills.

The reception was held in the hall on the third floor of Dangui Pavilion, and Chen Mo followed people up.

There are two guards in suits at the entrance of the hall on the third floor. Each person will show a bank card, and then the guard will issue a number plate.

When it's Chen Mo's turn, Chen Mo also takes out his bank card.

After the two guards saw it, they were shocked and speechless. They looked at Chen Mo with deep respect.

Chen Mo also got a number plate, which said no. 2 table.

Chen Mo walks in with a flat face. For him, money is just a number. Even he doesn't know how much money there is in that card.

In the spacious hall, there are dozens of round tables, covered with apricot yellow silk tablecloth, each table has a number plate, and many people sit scattered.

Most of these people are middle-aged men, and there are many old people, but few young people.

There is a stage in the front of the hall, and there are several specially large round tables under the stage, which are covered with red tablecloth, so it looks special.

Chen Mo estimated that there should be the so-called VIP seats.

The guests came one after another, but after entering the hall, they all sat down and kept silent. Only a few people talked in a low voice. Obviously, most of these people didn't know each other.

Chen Mo felt around a little and found that there were dozens of warriors here, but most of them were from outside, only a few from inside. But such strength in the secular world is enough to shock a big family like the Jin family.

Chen Mo goes all the way looking for table 2, only to find that table 2 is actually one of the tables with red tablecloth under the stage.

Chen Mo thought a little and realized immediately that the seats were arranged according to the money in the bank card.

After figuring it out, Chen Mo closes his eyes and pays no attention to other people on the table, waiting for the reception to open.

A few minutes later, Chen Mo heard a burst of exclamation around him and opened his eyes slightly.

Looking past, a tall, hot and beautiful woman in a pink dress, accompanied by an old man, is coming towards Chen Mo with a haughty face.

Where the women passed, some people got up one after another and said, "Miss Gongsun!"

The woman just nodded slightly in return, with a cold attitude.

However, those people didn't like it. On the contrary, they were pleased. It seemed that this woman could nod her head to them, which was a great favor.

The woman passes by Chen Mo and goes to the first round table on Chen Mo's left, which is the position of Table 1. The whole table, only the woman and the old man.

When the woman sat down, some young people came over quickly and showed great hospitality to her. However, the woman's attitude was always lukewarm, which made it hard to understand what she was thinking.

After more than ten minutes, a beautiful hostess stepped onto the stage.

After a few monotonous opening remarks, Chen Mo finally understood the real meaning of the reception.

It turns out that this is not an ordinary cocktail party, but a treasure appraisal meeting. If you like one of the treasures, you can auction it on the spot.

As for what treasures are there, Chen Mo is very curious. After all, it's certainly not a common thing to attract so many warriors.

The host said some words to stir up the atmosphere and directly announced the start of the reception.

At the beginning, the dishes were served by waiters. The dishes were very rich, but the people who could come here didn't care about the wine and dishes. The treasures that were about to be brought out for everyone's appreciation were everyone's goals.

Naturally, the host is also aware of this point. After the waiter finished the dish, he began to announce: "ladies and gentlemen, a total of six treasures have been selected in this treasure appraisal meeting. Next, I will present the first one to you first."

A uniformed staff member stepped onto the stage, holding a beautiful jade box in his hand, and put it on the projection table in the center of the stage. All the inside of the jade box was clearly projected on the large electronic screen at the back of the stage.

On the big screen is a strange herb, like a flower, but there is no bud. Say it is grass, but it has the temperament of flower.

Although it has been picked, but its leaves and roots are still green, very strange.

The hostess explained in a sweet voice: "this is an unknown plant. The picker is a farmer in the mountain area. However, the farmer didn't know what kind of flowers and plants it was. Moreover, the farmer used to be a psychopath. He just picked it by chance, and then his mental illness gradually recovered. Our purchasing staff learned about the situation and thought that this plant was very strange, so they bought it back. "

After the host's explanation, there was a lot of discussion below. Some people sneered and others doubted. Most people didn't believe that the flower had cured that person's mental illness.

However, when Chen Mo saw this plant, he was moved in his heart: "this is a pure orchid! It's an indispensable supplement to several kinds of pills. "

Qingshen orchid is like flowers but not grass. Its tentacles are cold, refreshing and nourishing.

If the farmer suffering from mental illness takes this qingshenlan with him for a long time, it is likely to cure his mental illness.

And Qingshen orchid has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, it will never wither. Even if it is picked and left the soil, it will always appear green.

But qingshenlan is afraid of fire. Once it meets fire, it will turn into air immediately.

"Everybody, does anyone recognize this plant?" The host asked with a smile.

There was no one in the hall to say anything. It was not that they didn't know the goods, but that qingshenlan was not suitable for Chinese martial arts. So the martial arts circles naturally paid less attention to this kind of medicine.

However, the woman at table one suddenly said faintly, "its name is cold ice orchid. It grows in a dark, damp and sunless place. Its branches and leaves are cold and refreshing."
