Without paying attention to Tai Lei's antics, Cao Rang shifted his gaze to the other two unfamiliar figures.
"Qian Bu, if you don't have enough money to mind your own business, why did you come out? Old Bai hasn't appeared for decades, and now he couldn't resist?" Standing beside Yu Hua, a refined middle-aged man dressed in luxurious robes chuckled and patted his slightly portly belly. "If even this smiley tiger can come, why can't I?"
"That's right, that's right. The commotion this morning was so significant and happened around both of us. We just came to see if there's anything unusual," another white-haired old man with a lazy expression chimed in.
"Qian Bu and Old Bai, what are you two doing here? I won't intervene in that, but the owner inside has a favor with me. If you two want to suppress this kid with your cultivation, I won't let you be," Yu Hua lifted his brows, glanced at the two, then withdrew his gaze with indifference.
Hearing Yu Hua's words, the two unfamiliar Titled Douluo exchanged a glance and their expressions grew more serious.
When a Titled Douluo of the healing system spoke, they had to consider their words carefully.
Unlike the four Tang Sect branch hallmasters and Cao Rang, the two unfamiliar Titled Douluo rarely made public appearances. Their identities weren't widely recognized even now.
The refined middle-aged man in luxurious robes was named Qian Bu, but due to the homophone of his name, he was nicknamed "Qian Bu Gou" (Not Enough Money). He appeared like a businessman, yet his nickname was enough to make many Spirit masters shudder.
Chief guest elder of the Shrek City Grand Auction House, Titled Douluo Qian Bu.
His martial Spirit was a unique one called Divination Coin. Before using his Spirit skills, Qian Bu had to guess heads or tails with a coin against his opponent. This step was absolute and the opponent couldn't refuse.
If Qian Bu guessed wrong, the Spirit skill would fail, but if he guessed right, the skill's power would instantly increase tenfold.
What did it mean for all Spirit skills to have their power increased tenfold? With this strange yet powerful martial Spirit, Qian Bu embarked on a career as a fearsome gambling master that left countless Spirit masters trembling.
The fighting style changed dramatically when facing him. Instead of rushing into a fight, they would start by guessing heads or tails.
While it was possible to guess right and easily defeat Qian Bu, no one wanted to rely on luck in a fight. Hence, few dared to provoke him.
The reason for such an individual appearing in Qi Han's shop was simple. As a guest elder of the auction house, he had been exposed to many treasures over time. The morning's anomaly caused by Qi Han might very well be a precious treasure's emergence in his eyes.
If such a treasure emerged, if the Shrek City Grand Auction House managed to acquire it and auction it in their own venue, it would certainly be a grand event.
That alone might not be enough for him to personally come over, but this little shop that had managed to block his probing with his 96th level cultivation was incredibly intriguing.
On the other side, the white-haired elder, although not as eccentric as Qian Bu with his unique martial Spirit, was still not to be underestimated.
He was Bai Changfeng, a renowned elder of the Shrek City's Great Spirit Arena.
Bai Changfeng's martial Spirit was a mutated one known as the White Plum Sword. For some unknown reason, on the night of his awakening, all the hair on his head turned white. The white haired young man earned himself the nickname "White Eyebrows."
The mutated martial Spirit, the White Plum Sword, belonged to the category of Tool-type martial Spirits but possessed the characteristics of a Plant-type martial Spirit, making it incredibly unique. This unprecedented situation led to Bai Changfeng being accepted into the Shrek Academy as a student.
At the age of thirty-seven, Bai Changfeng broke through the level of Titled Douluo and left the Shrek Academy. He was once a spirited young man, wielding the White Plum Sword and demonstrating his might in the turbulent world. He made his mark across the Douluo Continent but was eventually defeated by an older generation Titled Douluo. Afterward, he returned to Shrek City, joining the Great Spirit Arena as an honored elder.
Though he had been defeated by his senior, Bai Changfeng's incredible strength spread throughout the Douluo Continent. After learning that he became an honored elder of the Great Spirit Arena, many powerful Spirit masters came to join the arena, greatly expanding his influence.
However, those were old stories now, and many of the young Spirit masters of today were unfamiliar with him.
As for why Bai Changfeng, who had disappeared for so many years, suddenly appeared here, the reason was straightforward. Bai Changfeng had been in closed-door cultivation for many years, obsessively pursuing breakthroughs in his cultivation. He had been stuck at the bottleneck between Rank 94 and 95 for a full two years. Now, he witnessed the peculiar phenomenon of what seemed to be a powerful natural treasure appearing beneath his very nose. He had a premonition that this might be the opportunity he needed to break through.
With this reason in mind, it was only natural for him to appear in front of the small shop after years of absence.
"Boss, has something happened in the small shop?" As soon as they entered the shop, Fu Ya nervously asked.
"What's going on?" Qi Han was a bit puzzled. "I was just about to tell you that there's a new dish in the shop. Did you already guess it?"
"Ah?" Fu Ya blinked in confusion. "No, no, it's not that."
She pointed outside. "Boss, look, there are seven Titled Douluo standing outside."
Huh? Qi Han was taken aback, turning his head to look outside. He hadn't paid attention before, but with Fu Ya's reminder, he noticed that something seemed off outside the door.
The advanced technology of the system's machinery allowed Qi Han to see the outside clearly, while those outside couldn't see inside. Thus, Qi Han didn't have to worry about the seven Titled Douluo discovering him.
Among these seven, apart from the four Tang Sect Hall Masters, he didn't recognize the other three.
Could it be that the four Hall Masters of the Tang Sect were planning to invite other Titled Douluo to dine at the small shop?
[The system forgot to remind the host. The phenomenon caused by the Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb is extensive. The preparation of the Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb you cooked earlier likely triggered an influence on one-tenth of Shrek City's spiritual energy. The other party has likely come because of this.]
Qi Han fell into contemplation. On second thought, this didn't seem like a bad thing. Titled Douluo or not, they couldn't even break a table in the small shop.
This was live advertising! The Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb was just released today, so he had to promote it to each of these bigshots.
Serving seven portions of Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb would earn him seven thousand Gold Coin, which would nearly cover the night's revenue.
It seemed that tonight's business would set a new historical high.
