Chapter 256 Treasure Appraisal Conference

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

The Ye family is respected in Xihai, but the Gongsun family has the greatest hope of catching up with the Ye family.

It can be seen from this that the power of the Gongsun family in Xihai is very extraordinary.

Wu'an City, the headquarters of the Gongsun family.

Chen Mo was dressed in black casual clothes and left from the high-speed rail station. It was already after seven o'clock in the evening, and Chen Mo found a hotel to stay.

But along the way, Chen Mo discovered something strange. There were actually many warriors gathered here!

However, the strength of these warriors is not very high. Most of them are warriors from the outer realm. There are also warriors from the inner realm, but the proportion is only one tenth.

Some of these warriors also stayed in the same hotel as Chen Mo, and they were obviously not locals of Wu'an City.

At night, while Chen Mo was practicing, his spiritual consciousness was released and he found out the reason for the gathering of warriors.

It turns out that it's Dangui Pavilion in Wu'an City, and there will be a cocktail party tomorrow.

The warrior would definitely not care about these ordinary drinking parties, so Chen Mo felt that tomorrow's drinking party would not be simple.

Keeping this in mind, Chen Mo continued to practice.

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

Dangui Pavilion is actually a pharmacy, a rare pure Chinese medicine store in China. Chen Mo went in and took a look around and found that the medicinal materials sold here were very complete, and some medicinal materials could even be used to refine some basic elixirs.

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

There are two doormen in suits at the door of the lobby on the third floor. Everyone who enters will show a bank card, and then the doorman will issue a number plate.

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

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

Chen Mo also got a number plate with table number two written on it.

Chen Mo walked in with a calm expression. To him, money was just a number. Even he didn't know how much money was in the card.

In the spacious hall, there are dozens of round tables, covered with apricot silk tablecloths. Each table has a number plate, and there are many people sitting here and there.

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

There is a stage at the front of the hall. Below the stage are several particularly large round tables covered with red tablecloths, which looks a bit special.

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

Guests arrived one after another, but after entering the hall, they all found their own seats and sat down in silence. Only a few people chatted quietly. It was obvious that most of these people did not know each other.

Chen Mo sensed the surroundings and found that there were dozens of warriors here, but most of them were from the outer realm, and there were only a few from the inner realm. But such strength in the secular world is enough to shock a big family like the Jin family.

.

Chen Mo walked all the way, looking for table No. 2, and finally discovered that table No. 2 was actually one of the tables covered with red tablecloths under the stage.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and immediately realized that the seat was assigned based on the money in the bank card.

After thinking about it, Chen Mo closed his eyes and rested, ignoring the other people on the table, quietly waiting for the cocktail party to start.

A few minutes later, Chen Mo heard a burst of exclamations from around him and couldn't help but open his eyes slightly.

Looking over, a beautiful woman with a tall and fiery figure wearing a pink dress, accompanied by an old man, was walking towards Chen Mo with a proud look on her face.

Wherever the woman passed, some people stood up to say hello: "Miss Gongsun!"

The woman just nodded slightly as a return gift, her attitude was a bit cold.

However, those people didn't take it seriously. Instead, they looked happy, as if this woman could nod to them, which was a great favor.

The woman passed by Chen Mo and walked to the first round table on Chen Mo's left, which was table number one. There were only two people on the whole table, the woman and the old man.

After the woman sat down, some young men came over quickly and showed great attentiveness to the woman. However, the woman's attitude was always lukewarm, making it unclear what she was thinking.

After ten minutes, a beautiful female host walked onto the stage.

After a few stereotyped opening remarks, Chen Mo finally understood the true meaning of this cocktail party.

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

As for what kind of treasures there are here, Chen Mo is very curious. After all, it must not be ordinary mundane things that can attract so many warriors.

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

At the beginning, the waiter served the food, and the dishes were very rich. However, those who could come here did not care about these wines and dishes at all. The treasures that were about to be brought out for everyone to taste were everyone's goal.

Naturally, the host understood this well. After the waiter finished serving the dishes, he began to announce: "Everyone, a total of six treasures have been selected for this treasure appraisal conference. I will present the first one to you."

A staff member in uniform walked onto the stage, holding a delicate jade box in his hand and placed it on the projection table in the center of the stage. Everything inside the jade box was clearly projected on the large electronic screen behind the stage.

On the big screen is a strange herbaceous plant, which looks like a flower, but has no buds. It is said to be grass, but it has the temperament of a flower.

Although it has been picked, its leaves and rhizomes are still green and very peculiar.

The female host used a sweet voice and explained with great emotion: "This is an unknown flower, and the picker is a farmer in the mountainous area. However, the farmer did not recognize what kind of flower it was, and the farmer used to be a farmer."

The mentally ill man just accidentally picked this flower and herb, and then his mental illness gradually recovered on its own. Our purchasing staff learned about the situation and thought this flower and herb was weird, so he bought it back."

After the host finished explaining, there was a lot of discussion below. Some people showed ridicule on their faces, some showed doubts, and most people did not believe that this flower and grass cured that person's mental illness.

However, when Chen Mo saw this flower and plant, his heart moved: "This is actually a Qingshen Orchid! It is an indispensable auxiliary medicine for several kinds of elixirs."

Qingshen Orchid is like a flower but not a grass, with cold tentacles. It has the effect of refreshing the mind and nourishing the soul.

If the farmer with mental illness had kept this Qingshen Orchid with him for a long time, it would be possible for him to be cured of his mental illness.

Moreover, one of the biggest characteristics of Qingshen orchid is that it will never wither. Even if it is picked and removed from the soil, it will always remain emerald green.

However, the Qingshen Orchid is afraid of fire, and will immediately turn into air once it encounters fire.

"Everyone, does anyone recognize this flower?" the host asked with a smile.

No one in the hall said a word. It's not that they don't know the goods, but the medicinal properties of Qingshenlan are not suitable for Chinese warriors, so the martial arts world naturally pays less attention to this medicinal material.
