Jinghua Building Chapter 455
Two days had flitted by in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Chenxiang, Guyan, Wangchuan, Xue Jing, and Xue Qi were already sitting downstairs, waiting for Mo Jiuli and Yun…
After Mo Jiuli and Yun had gotten ready and come downstairs, the group finished breakfast in the hall, then followed Chenxiang and the others to the Stone Gambling Convention in Jinghua City…
On the way, Mo Jiuli noticed many people hurrying in one direction.
Chenxiang explained on the side, “Lady, the Stone Gambling Convention is held in the Jinghua Building, a property of the Dongfang Family, which is one of the Four Major Families on the Haotian Continent.
The Dongfang Family ranks second among these families, specializing in the business of various rare ores, as well as catering and more!
The Xuanyuan Family, which heads the Four Major Families, is an Alchemy Family.
The Shui Clan specializes in Artifact Refinement, and at the last is the Mo Clan, which is focused on cultivating dark energy!
Thus, the Mo Clan is the strongest in power, while the Xuanyuan Family is the wealthiest…
The Dongfang Family has always had the best relationship with the Xuanyuan Family, as their ancestors were martial brothers.
Meanwhile, both their relationships with the Shui Clan are the worst—they are fabled to be sworn enemies.
As for what kind of enmity it exactly is, there are many different stories circulating in the Haotian Continent, and it’s hard to verify which one is true!”
“So, this Jinghua City is also under the Dongfang Family?” Mo Jiuli asked with curiosity.
“Correct, in fact, besides the Mo Clan, the other cities surrounding Haotian City are all owned by the Four Major Families, each acting as a sub-city and enclosing the Main City at the center!
The Three Great Clans and the Haotian City Royal Family appear to be close as kin on the surface, but in reality, they are in mutual check, maintaining a turbulent balance beneath the tranquility,” Chenxiang analyzed.
Upon hearing this, Guyan took several more glances at Chenxiang and Wangchuan; these two, having arrived two years earlier than them, really were different.
They had gathered so much information about the Haotian Continent—it was indeed no simple feat…
In fact, what Guyan didn’t know was that ever since they started following Mo Jiuli, Chenxiang and Wangchuan had always been adept at gathering news.
On the Lingtian Continent, the reputation of the Asura Nine Doctors and the awe surrounding the Ninth Floor were all because of their efforts.
Otherwise, with just Mo Jiuli, a somewhat dazed Divine Doctor skilled only in healing people, such a resounding title would have been improbable…
While they were talking, Mo Jiuli and the others had arrived at Jinghua Building.
They saw a luxurious three-story building situated at the bustling center of the city, its absolute position was the best in Jinghua City…
On the second floor hung a huge plaque, with the three striking characters of “Jinghua Building” inscribed upon it…
The hall on the first floor was already crowded with people, and still, more people were continuously entering.
From time to time, exclamations and sighs were heard…
“Lady, today’s main event at Jinghua Building is the stone gambling; however, on regular days, this place is also a trading building selling various ores, elixirs, and other items…” said Chenxiang.
“The ores on the first floor are relatively cheap; the prices on the second and third floors are higher.
Lady, where shall we take a look first?” Chenxiang asked, looking at Mo Jiuli.
“Let’s go up and have a look first!” Mo Jiuli said.
In fact, she was not too keen on the crowdedness of the first floor; people were passing by so closely that they were nearly brushing against each other.
“Alright, we’ll start from the third floor and work our way down!” Chenxiang remarked, also noting Mo Jiuli’s preference for fewer people.
The group guarded Mo Jiuli in the middle and finally squeezed onto the second floor.
Upon reaching it, the crowd was noticeably thinner.
Mo Jiuli and her companions cast only a brief glance around before heading straight to the third floor…
