Avenue Stowaway

As soon as Kong Fang entered the Qiankun Pavilion, he saw a round-faced, fat monk not far away. Although this fat monk had a pair of small eyes, there was a glimmer of brilliance in his eyes. Kong Fang had noticed him when he stepped in from the door. His fat face was immediately filled with smiles, and he came to greet him like a Maitreya Buddha.

This fat monk was none other than the one who bought the Mist Flower before Kong Fang.

"The auction will be held in two days. I didn't expect you to come so soon." The fat monk smiled happily and extended his hand to invite him, "Please come in, fellow Daoist."

Kong Fang smiled and nodded, then followed the fat monk inside.

The two of them came to a private room again, but this time the room was several levels higher in decoration than the room where the young man entertained Kong Fang last time. Even the tables and chairs in the room were made of some very good wood, and the tables and chairs also emitted faint fluctuations of the power of heaven and earth.

As the two sat down, the fat monk immediately introduced himself enthusiastically: "My name is Yuan Le, may I know your name?"

"Kong Fang!" Kong Fang replied with a smile, and in his heart he wanted to say, 'Why are you called Yuan Le? Just call me Maitreya.'

"Is there anything you need, Brother Kong?" The fat monk Yuan Le got to the point. The two did not know each other and had only met once. Qiankun Pavilion was a business, so it was impossible for Kong Fang to come here suddenly just to visit.

"There will be an auction in your pavilion in two days. I would like to ask, can I take this opportunity to auction some treasures as well?" Kong Fang looked at Yuan Le and asked.

"Of course!" Yuan Le nodded with a smile, "My Qiankun Pavilion welcomes such things, but my Qiankun Pavilion will charge some fees."

"Oh, how do you calculate it?" Kong Fang asked.

"First of all, if the treasure you want to auction is worth no more than one million, my Qiankun Pavilion will not auction it." Yuan Le quietly observed Kong Fang's expression.

Kong Fang seemed very calm. Seeing this, Yuan Le smiled and continued, "If the final price of the auctioned treasure is less than 10 million green gold, my Qiankun Pavilion will charge 100,000 green gold. If it exceeds 10 million green gold, but within 50 million green gold, my Qiankun Pavilion will charge 500,000 green gold. If it exceeds 50 million green gold, my Qiankun Pavilion will charge 1 million green gold, which is also the highest fee. No matter how high the final price of the auctioned treasure is, the fee is 1 million green gold."

Kong Fang breathed a sigh of relief. He had already guessed about the fees. He was just worried that the fees would be too high. Fortunately, the fees were acceptable.

"I wonder what treasure you want to auction?" Yuan Le's small eyes flashed with a shrewd light.

Kong Fang waved his hand and two more things appeared on the table, they were the Chiyan Lanxin and the Qinglongmu.

A red light flickered in Chi Yanlan's heart. The light flickered on and off regularly, and it was obvious that it was a treasure. In contrast, the dark green Qinglong wood looked like the residue cut from a tree, very inconspicuous, and did not even look like a treasure.

But Kong Fang knew very well that the inconspicuous Qinglong wood was much more precious than Chiyan Lanxin. Kong Fang glanced at Yuan Le and found that Yuan Le was only staring at Chiyan Lanxin. Kong Fang knew that Yuan Le did not recognize Qinglong wood at all.

"The Azure Dragon Wood is extremely precious. But few people can recognize this treasure. If I didn't want to miss the Mist Hidden Flower, I would never put this Azure Dragon Wood up for auction. According to the records in the Rare Treasures Record, this Azure Dragon Wood can be used as an auxiliary spiritual object. It can be used to refine some very precious elixirs. The Azure Dragon Wood can make it easier to refine the elixir successfully and help improve the quality of the elixir."

"These functions of the Qinglong Wood have already made it extremely precious, but these are not what I value most. What I value most is the change that the Qinglong Wood brings to plant life." After checking all the records of the Qinglong Wood in the Rare Treasures Records, Kong Fang couldn't help but marvel in his heart. This Qinglong Wood is truly a rare treasure born between heaven and earth.

In fact, there are too many things recorded in the Record of Wonders and Treasures, and Kong Fang cannot remember them all. He can only have a little impression of everything. Once he encounters something, Kong Fang can search and check it in the Record of Wonders and Treasures.

The most important point in the record of Qinglong Wood in the Records of Rare Treasures is the changes it brings to plant life.

"Qinglong Wood is a rare treasure in heaven and earth. If plant life can absorb and refine the Qinglong Wood, their body structure will be greatly improved. If they are lucky, they can even undergo a transformation!" Kong Fang recalled the records of Qinglong Wood in the Records of Rare Treasures.

This is a transformation in the level of life, which is no less than a complete transformation for plant life.

At this time, Yuan Le had already picked up Chi Yan Lan Xin on the table with both hands and began to observe it carefully. As he observed, Yuan Le couldn't help but reveal a look of shock on his face, "This, is this Chi Yan Lan Xin?" Yuan Le looked at Kong Fang in disbelief.

"That's right." Kong Fang nodded with a smile.

“It’s actually true, but how can there be such a perfect Chi Yan Lan Heart?” Yuan Le still couldn’t believe it. He once had the honor of seeing a Chi Yan Lan Heart, which was eventually bought by a famous weapon refiner. However, compared with this one, that Chi Yan Lan Heart was like a broken piece of junk. No matter in appearance or the feeling it gave him, it could not be compared with the Chi Yan Lan Heart in front of him.

This Chi Yanlan Heart is like the most perfect work of art, which makes Yuan Le deeply fascinated.

After a long while, Yuan Le reluctantly placed Chi Yan Lan Xin on the table, looked at Kong Fang and smiled bitterly, "It's been an old problem for many years. I can't take my eyes off the treasure when I see it. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Kong Fang smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist is also a treasure lover, why are you laughing?"

The smile on Yuan Le's fat face, which looked like Maitreya, suddenly became more intense, and then his gaze fell on the Qinglong wood.

“Anything that can be taken out together with Chi Yan Lan Xin must be a rare treasure, but what on earth is this thing? Why can’t I tell it at all?” The smile on Yuan Le’s face gradually disappeared. He took the Qinglong Wood in his hand and observed it carefully.

"The surface is very smooth and delicate, like jade, but it is clearly a piece of wood!" The smile on Yuan Le's face disappeared unconsciously, and his brows wrinkled. His fat face, which was originally full of joy, turned into a sad face, looking a little funny.

Yuan Le glanced at Kong Fang secretly and found that Kong Fang's face was still calm. A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Yuan Le's forehead. He really couldn't tell the origin of this thing.

"Friend Kong, forgive my poor eyesight, I really can't tell what this treasure is!" Yuan Le said with a confused and embarrassed look on his face. He, the manager of Qiankun Pavilion, didn't even recognize the treasure that was delivered to his door. It would definitely be a shame if this got out.

"Friend Kong, do you know the origin of this treasure?" Yuan Le asked tentatively.

"I do know a little about it. It's called Qinglong Wood. I wonder if you have ever heard of it?" Kong Fang looked at Yuan Le with a smile.

Yuan Le couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his head. He had never heard of this name.

"Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist. I will go and ask the Pavilion Master of Qiankun Pavilion. I am sure he knows this treasure." Yuan Le apologized and rushed out in a hurry. It looked like he was fleeing in panic.
