#1181 - Lingzhen Pavilion Auction
As soon as Jintong entered the city, he stayed in his room in the inn and never wanted to come out.
The others had long been fed up with her being a burden, and even Shen Xiuyuan didn't say a word of advice, and turned around and went to the town office.
The town office here was the one that received the notice from the office and went to the village to pick up the person. After announcing his identity, he was quickly welcomed in.
"The immortal has arrived and our humble home is honored." A man dressed as a clerk came up to greet them from afar.
After Shen Xiuyuan and Du Xingyu exchanged a few words as representatives, they realized that the town supervisor was not there.
The town supervisor is an official in charge of taxation and public security in an economically developed town. His rank is very low, but in a town with only a thousand people, he is powerful enough to cover the sky with one hand.
When monks are training, there is an unwritten rule: Whenever they pass through a village or town, especially a small one, they will take the initiative to ask if there is any difficulty that needs the monks' help.
Mortals are weak and there are many things that they are beyond their ability to handle.
Strictly speaking, this kind of thing is not within the jurisdiction of the monks, but if the monks take action to solve it, not only will they relieve the suffering of ordinary people, but they will also gain reputation for themselves and their sect. For themselves, at a minimum, it is a kind of accumulation, and if they are lucky, they can also gain large and small gains and opportunities from it, and it is not uncommon for them to make breakthroughs from it.
So over time, monks and mortals alike formed a tacit understanding.
Mortals should complete what they can do on their own, and if they cannot complete it or it is really difficult, they should hang it in the government office and wait for the monks to pass by. If it is really urgent, just like the previous drought, report it to the sect.
This is why you can't go through the teleportation array for all your training. In addition to the fact that you might miss opportunities on the way, it's also because the teleportation array hasn't been widely used in the town yet.
The town supervisor was not there, and only a clerk without rank who was in charge of clerical affairs was left to receive the monks. This was actually a very impolite and even rude thing to do.
Not to mention the town supervisor, even if you go to the county, the county magistrate will receive you in person.
How would the monks view this snub?
Will he fly into a rage and turn the town office into smoke with a wave of his hand? Or will he file a complaint with the Immortal Sect, letting other cultivators know that their town is disrespectful to cultivators, so that no more cultivators will come from now on?
The chief clerk was terrified and thought of the unruly people who were being tortured in prison, as if he had seen his own future.
Shen Xiuyuan and his friends were not mean people to begin with, and seeing that the chief clerk was trembling like a sieve, they could not bear to blame him.
"Where is the town supervisor?" Du Xingyu asked after making a few jokes to relax the chief clerk.
"My Lords, the town supervisor was summoned by the prefect and has been on his way to the provincial capital for more than twenty days. Judging from his walking speed, he should have just arrived at the provincial capital not long ago," the chief clerk replied respectfully.
In other words, when Lin Fan and his team went out for the first time, the town supervisor had already set out. So he didn't know that the drought mission had been accepted and didn't wait in the town. It was just a coincidence.
"Since it is a government matter, it is naturally beyond reproach." Shen Xiuyuan nodded and asked, "Does the chief clerk know who reported the drought in XX town?"
The chief clerk just breathed a sigh of relief, but then froze again.
He knew that these people were almost in trouble because they were besieged by ignorant and unruly people due to the drought.
He was a cultivator! Even a small injury to his skin could bring about the sect's full revenge. When he found out, he was almost scared to death.
I dealt with those troublemakers ruthlessly, and after so many days, I thought the matter was over. Now this is...tracing back to the source?
The chief clerk trembled as he explained that he had nothing to do with the matter and that all the incidents that needed to be reported to the Immortal Sect were reported personally by the town supervisor.
"Then we can only go to the provincial government and ask the town supervisor." Du Xingyu crossed his legs and patted the chief clerk on the shoulder. "Hey, do you know what your prefect asked him to do?"
"I heard, I heard that it was..." The chief clerk hesitated and glanced at a few people.
"Just say it." Shen Xiuyuan encouraged.
"It is said that there is a grand auction in the state capital, and the prefect is afraid that there will be too many guests and he cannot handle it all by himself, so he asked the governors of the counties under his jurisdiction to go to the state capital to help. Our town has always had high tax revenue, so the town supervisor was also brought along."
"Auction?" Shen Xiuyuan frowned. "Can an auction make the officials of the prefecture abandon their own government affairs and go to greet guests? What kind of guests? The prefect is too busy to handle them, and wants officials...ah..."
"It's Lingzhen Pavilion." Yu Sinian waved his fan, "Only when a large number of high-level cultivators enter the prefecture will the prefect be overwhelmed. It can be called a help, but it is also an opportunity to show off and make more friends with cultivators. Some mortals would love nothing more than that."
Lingzhen Pavilion is a well-known place for selling treasures. It sells everything from jade, gems, corals, pearls in the mortal world to spiritual treasures, spiritual plants, magic tools, and elixirs in the immortal world.
No one knows where these things in Lingzhen Pavilion came from.
All I know is that what Lingzhen Pavilion has may not be found in other places, but what Lingzhen Pavilion does not have may be hard to find anywhere else in the world.
"I know that Lingzhen Pavilion opened a branch in this provincial capital. I thought it was just doing mundane business. How could it be..." Du Xingyu was surprised.
The place they came to was located in the northwest. The economy was not very developed, there were not many natural resources, there were not many offices of the immortal sects, and naturally there were not many cultivators coming and going.
Otherwise, the underwater Dragon Palace would not have caused a severe drought for several months before being taken advantage of by a few of them.
No matter how excited the villagers were, they would never dare to attack Jintong.
From this, we can see how many monks have come to the area they came to.
In such a place, they suddenly announced that they were going to hold an auction of immortal cultivation supplies. Moreover, the gathering of cultivators made the prefect so worried that he had to transfer all his subordinate officials to entertain the guests...
"We can't control worldly affairs." Du Xingyu narrowed his eyes and became interested. "But we definitely can't miss out on things happening in the world of immortals. Senior brother?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Shen Xiuyuan is a wood spirit root elixir cultivator. He has been stuck in the state of great perfection for some time and has been unable to make any progress in his cultivation.
He himself speculated that it was possible that because he did not have a fire spirit root, his Taoist magic lacked fire power. So this time, he came out to see if he could find a strange fire to replace his wood spirit root to increase his fire power.
If there was an auction, it would save him the time of looking around.
"Junior Sister Lin?" Shen Xiuyuan looked at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan is now stronger than him and is the core of this training. It is reasonable for him to ask her.
"I have no objection," Lin Fan said, "We can go anywhere. I'll go with everyone. Where's Senior Sister Mu?"
"Me too." Mu Jingjing expressed.
"Okay!" Du Xingyu clapped his hands and looked at the chief clerk with a smile, "Are there any other tasks in the town that need our help?"
"No, no!" The clerk shook his head like a rattle.
It used to exist, but now it doesn’t exist anymore.
"That's great!" Du Xingyu stood up first, "In that case, let's..."
"I can't walk yet." Yu Sinian sat steadily on the chair, "Jintong can't walk."
"Tsk!" Du Xingyu pouted, then turned back and grinned at the chief clerk, "There is one thing I may have to trouble the chief clerk with..."
When everyone drove the newly bought carriage back to the inn, they found that Jintong, who was supposed to be resting in the guest room and kept complaining about his leg pain and unable to walk, was not in the room.
I searched upstairs and downstairs, but couldn't find anyone.
Mu Jingjing punched the counter.
"Shopkeeper! Where is the little girl who came with us?"
