Chapter 52: The Way to Make Money
The old man was smiling and sipping melon seeds on the side, and when he saw Ruan Wei's appearance similar to his before, he couldn't help but secretly laugh. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"It's ...... A secret book of exercises that has been handed down since ancient times!" Ruan Wei had not yet recovered from his shock, and his hands holding the scroll could not help but tremble.
"Ancient?" Although Ruan Shi on the side couldn't see the rarity of this scroll, anything that was related to the word "ancient" would naturally become extremely valuable. Secretly, he said, "Father, is this scroll valuable?"
"Valuable, isn't it worth much!" Ruan Wei's voice was filled with irrepressible shock, "Let me explain to you like this, the energy weapon you have coveted for a long time is not even as good as scum compared to this scroll!"
"What?!" Ruan Shi's thoughts have been here for several days, and he naturally knows very well how precious the energy weapon is, and now his father actually said that the energy weapon is not even as good as the scum compared to this scroll? So what kind of treasure is this scroll? After being stunned, he couldn't help but grit his teeth: "God is really unfair, what kind of luck did Ye Shuo's kid hit, why did all the treasures run into his hands? The treasures taken out are more valuable than the other!?"
Ruan Wei still turned the scroll over and over again, making a gesture of not being able to put it down, and hurriedly transmitted a voice to Ruan Shi: "This is the general outline of the ancient spiritual cultivation method, which is the foundation of ten thousand laws and the beginning of ten thousand sources of professional evolution today! It's a pity that it is only a fragment now...... If we can collect all the sets, we will be able to pierce the sky in this Yixi country! But even if it is only a fragment, once it flows to the auction, it will definitely be able to fetch a sky-high price! At that time, those big forces will definitely throw money and scatter their hands, and we can't afford it at all! I just don't know if there are still a few remaining volumes in that kid's hand......"
The old man spat out the skin of melon seeds. Of course, he knew that the two fathers and sons in front of him were communicating sounds, but he had no intention of stopping them.
"This is the only volume he took out for appraisal, is he sure that this is the only volume he wants to auction?" Ruan Wei's next sentence suddenly asked himself.
"If he really auctioned off a complete set of secret books, it wouldn't be me who is sitting here talking to you now. The old man said slowly. The implication is very clear, if there is such a big business, he can't be responsible for it in his capacity, and I'm afraid that the owner of this auction house should be there to deal with it himself.
Ruan Wei secretly sighed that he was confused: "So what does he want to buy?" Even such a treasure that is against the sky is willing to be auctioned, so the treasure he wants to auction must be even more against the sky, and even Ruan Wei's curiosity rose for a while.
"Sir, that's a rare question. What the guests want to buy, that's their own business, how can I know?" said the old man with a smile.
"Don't be verbose. Ruan Wei shouted, "You answer well, the spirit stone will never be missing you." ā
"No matter how many spirit stones you give, I still don't know. The old man rubbed his hands slowly, thoughtfully.
Ruan Wei was ruthless, directly untied the storage bag on his waist, and sprinkled it on the table with a rich face: "Repeat the content of your previous conversation to me as it is, and don't miss a word." ā
Because cultivators have been practicing various exercises all year round, they need to memorize a large number of classics, so that their memory ability is constantly improving subtly, and their memory is usually very good, not to mention that this was only a moment ago. Therefore, as long as the other party is willing to speak, Ruan Wei's request is not difficult for a strong man.
The old man stared at the shiny spirit stones on the table, raised his arms silently, and pulled all the spirit stones into his arms. Then he raised his head: "As soon as the little brother came in, he said to me......"
āā¦ā¦ He asked me if the auction was high or low......"
āā¦ā¦ For example, the last time I auctioned a top-level magic weapon, the price was ...... He interrupted me directly and asked, 'What about a treasure like the Nine Qu Xuanyin Pill?'......"
āā¦ā¦ After that, he almost didn't leave the Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill, and it was only after listening to me say the transaction price of the Jiuqu Xuanyin Dan that he was relieved and immediately agreed to the transaction. From my point of view, the treasure he wants to photograph is nine times out of ten, it is the Nine Qu Xuanyin Pill!"
The old man's foaming explanation made Ruan Wei's face darken. I don't know where this is, it is clearly to lure him to pay money, and he did it deliberately.
At this point, even Ruan Wei was faintly in pain. This is almost a question to knock a spirit stone, how did he just run into such a money-hungry profiteer?
"Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill, what kind of thing is this, I've never heard of it......" Ruan Shi searched in his mind for a long time, but he couldn't find any information about this Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill, so he had to ask: "What's the use of this Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill?"
"Speaking of this Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill...... the old man picked up a glass of water on the table, took a sip to moisten his throat, and said, "It generally has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, preventing colds, and improving the throat." It is mainly used for the treatment of diseases such as warm poison spots, purple and dark tongue, and rotten throat. That's pretty much it, and it's not anything particularly rare. ā
The more Ruan Shi listened, the more strange his expression became, no matter how you look at these effects, Ye Shuo would not be able to use them?
The old man's face was flat: "If you want me to say that young people are impatient! Before I finished speaking, you began to interject indiscriminately, and now you still blame me for not saying it completely?" Taking advantage of the interval when Ruan Shi bowed to make amends, he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach for a long time, and finally remembered the missing one: "There is also a saying, it is said that this physical property is yin and cold, and it can cross the Yuan solid qi, and it is a medicine primer to make the antidote to the rare poison 'Heavenly Demon Qi Dispersion' rare in the world!"
"That's it!" Ruan Shi's eyes lit up, and he said: "Father, do you remember that in the previous battle of Anssanlin, there was a new disciple of the Xuantian Sect who was poisoned and unconscious? That person is this Ye Shuo's friend, named Advisor, he wants to find this medicine primer, it must also be to treat the Advisor! Great, we must snatch this Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill down, so that he can't save his friend!" He hated Ye Shuo so much, even if it was just to make Ye Shuo grieve because of his friend's death, he could enjoy a twisted pleasure from it.
"Is it actually the Nine Qu Xuanyin Pill?" Ruan Wei's mouth slowly lifted a smile. "Then you don't have to spend the money. Ah Shi, you still don't know that a few days ago, the head of the Void Pole had sent an order to the Shattered Star and Broken Moon factions at the same time, asking them to help the Burning Heaven Sect auction the Nine Qu Xuanyin Pill by any means at the auction of Dingtian City!
The medicinal properties of this Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill are similar to those of the Prunella vulgaris, you said that the prunella grass was picked by the Xuantian Sect, and now the Void Pole must want to replace it with this thing, as an aid for him to advance to the Qi level! At that time, this matter of money and effort will naturally be the majority of the disciples of the Burning Heaven Sect.
Void was really forced to be ruthless this time, and even used the words 'unscrupulous'...... However, since it is clear that it is 'unscrupulous', then we can follow his orders and show our skills......" Before Ruan Shi could understand, he quickly took out the spirit jade bead and said to the old man: "I want to burn this scroll, okay?"
The old man hurriedly snatched the scroll back: "How can this be made? This is an important auction item! Now that the auction has not yet been held, if you are distributed to the market, who else will participate in the bidding? No, no, this one will definitely not work." ā
Ruan Wei said eagerly: "I only burn the first page, and I can promise that I will never leak it to the outside world." So, you make an offer. ā
The old man is still the same: "It's not a question of whether or not to open a bid! This involves the rules and interests of the auction house! If it is known to others that our auction house is so unruly in doing things according to the rules and privately selling the information of customers and auction items, and its reputation is lost, who will dare to come to our auction house in the future?"
Ruan Wei gritted his teeth, took out a storage ring, lifted the recognition on the spot, and threw it on the table angrily: "Look at whether these are enough." ā
"Oh, I've already said it, no matter how many spirit stones you have...... the old man said, but a drop of blood still floated out of his fingertips, which quickly merged into the ring. Then his consciousness swept away, and he was instantly overjoyed, but he still maintained a reluctant expression on his face: "Okay, but remember that it can only be the first page! ā
"Got it! You're really verbose. Ruan Wei scolded in his stomach, and at the same time flattened the scroll, holding the spirit jade bead in his hand and levitating several feet in the air. The jade beads emitted a soft purple light, enveloping all the scrolls, and if you look closely, you can see layers of fine electric lines filtering through the page like brushes, and then a large number of words float up from the paper out of thin air, forming a projection in mid-air, and then shrinking in a triangular shape, and being sucked into the jade beads above.
"Sir, welcome to come back in the future. The old man was smiling behind his back. Ruan Wei was a series of belly slanders in his stomach.
"Why did you burn the first page of this scroll, is there any deep meaning?" Ruan Shi couldn't help but ask as soon as he left the auction hall. He saw with his own eyes that his father had almost wiped out most of his savings for the last deal.
Ruan Wei laughed: "Can't you see it? Well, brawls are forbidden in this Dingtian City, not to mention whether the kid surnamed Ye really has any remaining secret books on him, no one knows, there is no need to take this risk for an uncertain matter." However, just because we don't do it doesn't mean we can't find someone else to do it. I'm going to sell the news that this kid is carrying a lot of treasure to the black market, and then there will be someone to deal with him without us having to do it! If he really has a fragment of the secret book on him, then it's not too late for us to do it...... This trick is called 'scaring the grass and scaring the snake'!"
