In the evening of the second day, the carriages and horses were noisy in front of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavillion's gate, and an endless stream of people were coming and going.

The Hong Mansion sent out an official invitation, inviting a total of 34 illustrious young masters from Shanghai City. Among them, Young Noble Bleeding took up 25, and the rest were all Young Noble nobleman.

Other than Qi Yun, Zuo Yishan, Lu Fengxiao, Sangang, and Wu Jinghong were all present.

In all of the years that the Hong family had never sent an invitation, even though they knew that Hong Laoshuai was the one who did not send an invitation, and did it on his own accord, it was still a major event because they were invited in the name of the Hong family. Some of the invited were the sons of the nobles, second generation nobles, and some were not even included in the invitation list.

Dragon and Phoenix Pavillion was also extremely cooperative. After all, they had only recently hired Lei Qu to be a guest great alchemist and as such, they had to give him face by borrowing his manpower.

Furthermore, they also wanted to know what exactly Lei Qu wanted to do.

Before long, the guests had entered the hall one by one. Depending on the size of the family's influence, the seats were divided and the entire hall was filled to the brim.

The servants of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavillion served all kinds of dishes. Although this was not a restaurant, the products of the food were still of high quality.

However, none of the young masters present touched their chopsticks. They all wanted to know what kind of medicine the Hong Mansion had brought the nobleman and both sides of the Bleeding to this place.

At this moment, even Hong Jin and Hong Jiao were a little uneasy. They had never played out such a grand show in the Shanghai City before, and compared to the crowd that gathered before their eyes, all of the things that Hong Jiao had done in the past were not worth mentioning.

As Lei Qu stood on the stage, he did not say a word. Among the guests, he could even see a few familiar faces, and most of them were people from the alliance. Besides being the backbone of the alliance, they were also one of the few popinjays in the capital.

"Everyone, it was my idea that the Hong Mansion invited everyone here today!"

Lei Qu's firm voice sounded, and it became even colder than usual.

There was no other way, Meng Kang had to be careful, he did not want his old brothers of the Beijing Alliance to recognize him on stage.

Upon hearing this, all the popinjays in the audience started to jeer wildly. Most of them didn't even know who this ugly soldier was, so they naturally didn't want to give him any face.

Lei Qu acted as if he did not hear the cheers from the stage, and continued: "A few days ago, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavillion hired me to be a Great Herb King. I think, I need to use some of my true abilities, so as to not let down others' expectations! So, the reason I invited you all here today is to see if you all have any business to do as a witness! "

"The direct female thief!" Who wants to be your witness?! "

"Do your mother's business! What is your identity? Do business with us! "Fuck you!"

"Who is this ugly man?" Did he really think of himself as a plaything? Did Hong Jin lose his mind and allow him to do as he pleased? "

Some of the people in the audience immediately became impatient, while nobleman, Zuo Yishan and the others remained silent and remained calm.

Everyone came here to give Palace face, who would know you, you ugly monster!

Most of the nobles had bad patience. Many of them felt that they had been coaxed. All sorts of insults were thrown at them. It was simply a group attack.

At this point, even Hong Jiao was impressed by this Lei Military Doctor.

Lei Qu stood on stage and expressionlessly waved to the side.

Hong Jin brought two guards to personally send a cart.

The car was covered with a red cloth, which covered everything inside tightly.

The crowd burst into an uproar again, but more and more people were intrigued by the battle, and started to think that Hong Shuai's own grandson, Hong Jin, was actually going to personally bet on the stage, so they didn't know what treasure it was.

Lei Qu waved his hand, and the people below the stage all quietened down for some reason.

He didn't say much and just pulled off the red cloth on the car.

Three sandalwood boxes were neatly placed on top of the cart. They were not worth much money. It seemed like they were the kind that he had bought from a shop on the streets of the East District. They were the kind that cost only two taels of silver and two taels of silver.

Each box contained six pills. They were green and yellow in color, and their appearances were quite ordinary.

After Lei Qu lifted the red cloth, he said coldly: "This is a Hollow Sky Pill that I refined myself. As for its effects, I'm too lazy to explain them. One try and I'll know!"

"The starting price is ten Stage Five Beast Crystal s, or maybe a living stage six beast! Do you understand? "

Everyone understood his words, but regardless if it was the tone of voice, or his expression and attitude, Lei Qu did not look like a businessman at all. If they had to say that he was in a business, then there was only one businessman with such an expression, and that was the Coffin Shop.

Only the shop assistant in the coffin shop had this kind of attitude. "If you want to buy it, then don't buy it. I'm very casual anyways."

When Zuo Yishan and the rest heard Lei Qu's words, they heaved a sigh of relief. So the goal of this ugly soldier was to use self-made pills to exchange for beast crystals and beasts!

It could only be said that he was too naive!

The high level beast crystals and living beasts in Shanghai City had all been bought by the young masters, and it was currently the peak price that had been raised. Even if other people had stocks in their houses, they would not casually sell them out.

"That man, what is a Hollow Sky Pill? They had never heard of it before! Just based on those few broken pills that you made yourself, you want to exchange for beast crystals and beasts?

One of the young masters of nobleman sneered.

As he said this, the surrounding people burst into laughter again.

The two boxes of pills in front of the stage didn't look anything special, and neither did they smell anything special. The effects were unknown, could it be that this ugly man wanted to use the Hong residence's reputation to cheat?

Just then, Lei Qu said again: "Today's special price is limited to one pellet per person, is there anything you want?"

When he said that, the entire competition grounds roared with laughter, even Hong Jiao and Hong Jin felt embarrassed, and wished that they could find a hole to hide in.

At this time, Zuo Yishan gave a signal to his left and right, and Lu Fengxiao, who was sitting beside him, stood up.

Lu Fengxiao was the second son of the Marquis of Feng, and had quite a good network in the second generation of Shanghai City's aristocrats. This person had a round face and looked very friendly, but normally, he would not offend anyone, even if it was from the second generation of Bleeding, he had a lot of friends.

"Lei Military Doctor, are you trying to force me to sell this? If you are that famous Doctor Meng, maybe everyone will be interested in your self-made pills, and with just you, a mere doctor of the Nine Paths Army, on what basis are you able to cause such a ruckus in the Shanghai City, and on what basis are you making us people play with you, I will not keep you company, and let's go! "

Lu Fengxiao's move was indeed powerful. After he finished speaking, he made a gesture to leave, but many noble young masters also prepared to leave.

If they were to scatter, regardless of what tricks Lei Qu had up his sleeve, they would all be useless!

Meng Kang had already expected that the other party would have such a troublesome method, so he immediately cast his gaze towards Dragon and Phoenix Pavillion's table.

He had already informed the Dragon and Phoenix Pavillion before, asking them to find someone to support him. If no one wanted to buy one, they could buy one first to ensure that the atmosphere would be warm.

Unexpectedly, Lei Qu's gaze shot over there, and all of the guests at Dragon and Phoenix Pavillion's table lowered their heads, no one standing up.

At this time, Meng Kang found out that the Zhantai Xiongfeng who had a mouth full of righteousness was also unreliable, or it could be said that the other party was not too optimistic about his actions, and did not participate.

If the person in charge of the matter did not appear, Dragon and Phoenix Pavillion's attitude towards the matter would be very obvious, and Lei Qu's asking price was too ruthless. Ten high levelled beast crystals was worth more than ten thousand gold taels, such a huge transaction, the people below would not dare to make the decision, nor would they express their support in such an occasion.

In the end, Lei Qu was just an outsider who had just joined the Dragon and Phoenix Pavillion. If he did not display sufficient strength, no one would help him for nothing.

This was also one of the unwritten rules of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavillion, so he couldn't completely blame Zhantai Xiongfeng for not helping.

Meng Kang thought that things were getting worse, as more and more people stood up and prepared to leave.

At this point, he suddenly heard someone shouting from the right corner of the field: "Thunderclap, our Xu Merchant Shop is willing to exchange ten Stage Five Beast Crystal for one Hollow Sky Pill!"

The moment he said this, the entire audience went into an uproar.

So it was someone from the Xu Merchant Shop, and the one who spoke was the head manager of the Xu Merchant Shop, Mo Yan.

Zuo Yishan snorted coldly, with a face full of astonishment.

Strictly speaking, the Xu Merchant Shop did not belong to one of the factions within the nobleman, nor did they belong to the other side. They had always been a neutral merchant, but this did not mean that the Xu Merchant Shop did not have the qualifications to express her opinion.

To be able to become the Gu Clan's strongest competitor in the weapons business, the Xu Merchant Shop naturally had its own security.

"Thunderclap had once performed a delicate healing technique to save my young noble! Our Xu Merchant Shop will obviously support you! Ten Stage Five Beast Crystal s, this humble one will call a servant to deliver them now! "

These words from Mo Yan had already died down. Not only did it flatter Lei Qu, he also explained to the other young masters present the reason behind Xu Merchant Shop's purchase of medicine.

So it turns out that they were not looking favorably on Lei Qu's self-made pills, and did not want to humiliate the young masters of nobleman, either.

This reason was clearly very reasonable, and it also fully displayed the Xu Merchant Shop's long and smooth sleeves, and the mentality of the merchants who did not offend each other.

However, to Lei Qu, this was still an act of offering help on a snowy day.

"Shopkeeper Mo, please come on stage!"

Lei Qu said expressionlessly.

Mo Yan smiled and waved towards the Thunderclap on the stage, saying: "Brother Lei, there's no need to go up on stage, I'll come find you for some tea another day."

Shopkeeper Mo's meaning was, it's fine if you don't want the Hollow Sky Pill, but don't let me on stage.

"Shopkeeper Mo, please come on stage!"

Lei Qu continued to speak with a heavy tone.

Maybe it was because his tone was too stiff, but everyone turned to look at Mo Yan.

Mo Yan was a little resentful in his heart, but he still maintained a smile on his face, thinking that the Thunderclap was really that tough of a person, how could someone like him be able to do business!

However, Mo Yan still calmly walked out of his seat and towards the stage.
