Chapter 42: Nine Thousand Dragon Tendons

  The little year is over, and I'd like to wish you all a happy Year of the Mouse in advance. Here's the second update, hoping for your full support.

  ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

  With Chu Yu's introverted and quiet personality, he actually took the initiative to invite a little thief who had just stolen from Hua Tianxiong to go treasure hunting and shopping with him. If anyone familiar with Chu Yu saw this, they would definitely be left speechless for a long time.

  "Hmph, why not follow you? You still haven't returned the Black Cloud Rope to me. Even if you go to the ends of the earth, I won't lose you." The girl said stubbornly, slightly raising the corner of her lips.

  Chu Yuhan smiled and slowed down her pace for a few steps, waiting until the girl was walking shoulder to shoulder with her before quickening her stride. "Tell me your name."

  Realizing that Chu Yu was talking to herself, the girl's bright eyes sparkled like jewels and she refused, "You haven't even told me your name yet, what makes you think I should go first."

  "What a child who doesn't even want to take a small loss." Chu Yu shook his head and smiled, "My surname is Chu, single name Yu."

  Since his rebirth, Chu Yu had only revealed his true identity to three old subordinates and Huo Yun Dao Ren. At all other times, whether it was with his little girlfriend Su Jing Yi or his descendant Chu Nian Xi, he always appeared as Xiao Yi. Unexpectedly, he actually revealed his true name to this girl who he had just met for less than an hour!

  "Chu Yu, Chu Yu..." The girl muttered to herself twice before saying, "Listen up, Chu Yu! My name is Tang Keying. Tang is from the Tang clan of Song ancestors, and it's a gentle and kind 'Tang'. Ying is like the rippling water in between, and it's a full and abundant 'Ying'. Remember this well, if you call my name wrong next time, don't blame me for being impolite." As she spoke, Tang Keying waved her small fist threateningly and shouted loudly.

  Chu Yu smiled slightly and didn't say much, choosing a nearby sales counter to walk towards. "If you want to learn how to identify treasures, then follow me closely and watch quietly, don't speak much but pay attention with your heart, it will be helpful to you."

  "Hmph, pretending to be mature..." Tang KeYin said with her mouth, but seeing Chu Yu walking ahead, she quickly quickened her pace and chased after him.

  Unbeknownst to herself, the girl had already developed a slight affection for Chu Yu. After all, Tang Ke Yin was also clear in her heart that she had stolen something and been caught red-handed, which was already a great sin. If it were someone else, she would probably have been in big trouble by now. But this young man in front of her, who seemed to be around the same age as herself or even slightly younger, yet appeared mature beyond his years, hadn't made things difficult for her. Although he had taken the only memento left to her by her parents and hadn't returned it, at least for now, he was still a pretty good person.

  The crowd in front of the counter that Chu Yu chose was quite dense, and after squeezing to the middle row with great difficulty, he suddenly saw a familiar face.

  Immortal...

  Luckily, Chu Yu reacted quickly and hastily shook his head to signal, so Duan Zhongyuan didn't shout out loud. He was also a very clever person, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stand out from the many direct descendants of the Duan family and become the current master of the house.

  I understand that Chu Yu didn't want to acknowledge me, so Duan Zhongyuan tactfully stopped talking and subtly moved closer to Chu Yu's side. "The matters you entrusted me with last time have all been taken care of. The Fifth Hall Master and his nephew are now feeding the fish in Huangpu River."

  Upon hearing Duan Zhongyue's voice, Chu Yu couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly. This guy's methods were a bit too ruthless and poisonous.

  However, this thought flashed through Chu Yu's mind. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to trouble Su Jingyi and Chu Nianxu at the time, he would have made that rascal disappear from the face of the earth. What Chu Yu couldn't bear was that the rascal had casually mentioned his uncle, Wu Tangzhuzhu.

  "Just pretend we don't know each other, I don't want to reveal my identity here, hope you won't spoil the fun." After saying that, Chu Yu didn't care about Tang Ke's response anymore, as there were many people around the sales counter. She simply pulled Tang Ke's hand and squeezed inside.

  Suddenly being pulled by Chu Yu's hand, Tang Ke Yin only struggled a bit before following him, but this little girl's pair of shiny black eyes were rolling around in confusion for a while, and it was unknown what kind of mischievous idea she had come up with again.

  "The goods that the Song family of Lingnan takes out are always top-notch, and this time is no exception. Friends, you might as well take a look at the goods first before discussing the price. However, I, Song Chengzu, must say one thing beforehand: this 9,000-year-old dragon tendon is only for sale, not for exchange. Once the deal is finalized, payment must be made on the spot, and the transaction will be considered complete only when both parties have cleared their accounts."

  As soon as he heard the three words "Jiaolongjin", Chu Yu's eyes lit up, and he finally squeezed into the first row. Looking around, on the sales counter, a long rectangular brocade box about half a meter in length was placed inside, with a dark greenish-black long rope folded at several degrees, roughly estimated to be over ten meters in length, with a thickness similar to that of a thumb.

  "It's dark green in color, with a hint of dragon energy. It's truly almost the tendon of a dragon that has transformed... If it were used to refine the 'Dragon Binding Rope', I wonder how many times stronger it would be than the 500-year-old Dragon Tendon that Fire Cloud Old Ghost had obtained!" Just as Chu Yu was thinking this, someone had already opened their mouth to shout out a price. "300 million dollars..."

  "Brother, if you want to make a fortune, there's no need to be so outrageous. A 9,000-year-old dragon tendon! Even if it's cut into over ten segments, any one of them would be worth more than this price." someone said disdainfully.

  "You're just here to cause trouble, aren't you? You dare to show off with such a small amount of money. Well, I won't be polite either. Let's multiply it by ten, 300 million US dollars." A man wearing an expensive suit but with a rough appearance shouted loudly.

  Song Chengzu stood in front of the sales counter, shaking his head repeatedly, and then hung up a smile that brought wealth: "I think everyone misunderstood my meaning. This 9,000-year-old Jiaolong tendon is not for auction. If I want to auction it, I can put it on tomorrow's bidding conference... what do you guys say?"

  "So how much are you going to sell it for!" The burly man who had just quoted a price of 30 million US dollars asked loudly, clearly showing that he was extremely interested in the 9,000-year-old dragon tendon.

  Song Chengzu, a stout middle-aged man in his thirties, chuckled and said: "Bidding - I have prepared paper cards and pens here. Each friend who intends to buy this 9,000-year-old Jiaolong tendon can take one card, fill in the price you are willing to pay on it, and then hand it over to me. After reviewing all of them, I will select the highest bidder for the deal."

  This guy really has a bit of a sly merchant's taste! As soon as Song Chengzu finished speaking, he immediately triggered a burst of hisses from the crowd around him. This was clearly another kind of auction that maximized his personal interests, and the initiative was entirely in his hands. However, the goods were someone else's, and he said how to sell them, and you really had no way to stop him.

  Nine thousand years of dragon tendon! If the material is also divided into three, six and nine grades, this thing will definitely be included in the top grade. And what's most surprising is that such a rare item is not exchanged for goods, but sold for money, which is simply an incredible event that can't be found even with a lantern. So although Song Chengzu made some excessive bidding requirements, they were also accepted by those who intended to buy this thing.

  I recommend a new book on modern cultivation, "Zu Long". I've read it and found it quite flavorful. I suggest fellow book lovers who have the habit of reading new books to take a look, book number 177317.
