Chapter 17: Failed Auction Mysterious Ancient Sword
"What, the map of the dragon tomb!" Li Mengxiao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly took out the invitation card and looked through it, only to find that there was no such thing on the invitation card at all. I heard the noble lady explain, "This auction item has just been received by this auction house, and it is marked with the geographical location of a dragon tomb in Wanshou Valley. The authenticity is not known, and the starting price is not too high because the quantity is so large!"
After listening to the noblewoman's explanation, Li Mengxiao's heart suddenly became suspicious, "When I took the task before, the news of the Dragon Clan's tomb was still half-true. Unexpectedly, less than half a day later, someone came to auction the map of the Dragon Tomb!" "Mrs. Lingji, you have to make this clearer, otherwise we won't dare to bid at will!"
A casual cultivator who seemed to be a regular customer of the auction hall had the audacity to say to the noble lady on the tower, and his tone was obviously a little timid! The noble lady was not angry when she saw this, "You don't have to worry, because this map has been made with superb techniques Nearly more than five hundred copies have been made. That's why the price is so cheap. Otherwise, even if this map is priced at 200,000 medium-grade spirit stones, it wouldn't be strange!"
After listening to the noblewoman's explanation, everyone in the ring was immediately relieved, and immediately began to scramble. But a cold light flashed in Li Mengxiao's eyes in the private room on the second floor, "It's a good calculation, a good plan to drive away the tiger and the wolf, it seems that the person who sent the photo wants to use the method of driving the tiger and the wolf." Have someone help him search for the location of the Dragon's Tomb. Then sit back and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman!"
In less than a stick of incense, nearly ten maps were bought one after another. Li Mengxiao waited for a while, and when the ninety-sixth map came out, he pocketed it at the price of 160,000 spirit stones. After the auction for the map ended, another lot was pushed to the top of the platform.
"The seventeenth lot, a Bodhi fruit. There is a certain chance that the quality of a person's spiritual root can be improved, and there is even a great chance that the spiritual root can be upgraded to the perfect level. The starting price is 250,000 medium-grade spirit stones. Listening to the noble lady's exaggerated introduction, some of the people in the audience were excited, some were red-eyed, and some even planned to rush to the high platform to snatch the Bodhi fruit.
In another private room, a man and a woman looked at the scene under the stage, and the corners of the woman's mouth couldn't help but sneer, "It's really a bunch of dirt buns, and a Bodhi fruit makes them excited like this." Senior brother, you said that if they knew that once the Bodhi Fruit ascension failed, then they would lose their strength and their spiritual roots would be shattered, what would happen!" "Then their faces will definitely look good!" The man listened to the woman's words, no
Yude licked his lips, his eyes full of excitement. Not long after, the Bodhi Fruit was bought at the price of 450,000 medium-grade spirit stones! The woman said, "Senior brother, do you think our plan can succeed? After all, there are still people from the Tianshu North Pavilion this time, if they are the first to get there." There's no way we can explain it to our master!"
"Hmph" The man snorted and licked his lips again, "Tianshu North Pavilion, Tianshu North Pavilion is something." You and I are genuine core disciples of the Gathering Styx Valley. Not to mention that it was the chief disciple of the Tianshu North Pavilion, Tong Huang, even if it was the elder or pavilion master of the Tianshu North Pavilion. I'm not afraid of him!"
Just as the two were communicating, another experience auction item was pushed outside. "The auction below is a ground-level high-level swordsmanship martial art, the Sword of the Four Seasons Mist. It was born from the Heavenly Rank low-level martial arts, the Four Seasons Sword Technique. It is said that if you can make up the four swordsmanship of wind, clouds, rain, and fog. You can comprehend the complete Four Seasons Sword Technique. The starting price is 400,000 medium-grade spirit stones. ”
As soon as the words of the "600,000" noblewoman fell, Li Mengxiao directly added 200,000 medium-grade spirit stones. It immediately frightened a group of loose cultivators in the audience. The cultivators looked at each other, and then began to talk wildly.
"What kind of person is this person, he has such financial resources!"
"It must be a person from the three major forces, and his status is not low. ”
"That is, in my opinion, it is estimated that it is the Ten Masters of the Hundred Martial Arts, or the Three Heavenly Kings of the Dark Alliance, or the Five Great Sect Masters of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate!"
"No matter who it is, Lao Tzu doesn't practice swords anyway. This swordsmanship and martial art can't be used at all!"
Just as the people below were talking about it, a very delicate woman's voice sounded, "800,000 medium-grade spirit stones." As soon as he heard this voice, Li Mengxiao's expression was full of interest, and he instantly collapsed, as if his face was paralyzed. “
Why is she, what is that woman doing here!" Then the price was increased again, "Nine hundred thousand!"
As soon as she heard this, the woman before couldn't help but say, "The ignorant are fearless, someone dares to snatch things from her child, and they really don't know whether they are alive or dead!" After hearing this, the man spat at the corner of the wall, "If someone dares to grab something from me, Lao Tzu has to split his stomach with an axe!"
"Two million medium-grade spirit stones!" The delicate voice did not mean to flinch at all, but put on a more and more courageous appearance. "No, more than two million is already more than the price of the Four Seasons Mist Sword. It seems that I can only give up, after all, I still have to keep the spirit stone to fight for the spirit of the earth. ”
Seeing that Li Mengxiao didn't increase the price again, the man couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "Cowardice, I thought he dared to compete with the child emperor." It's a pity that it's a coward!" the woman glanced at the man, "Do you know how to advance and retreat, so as not to offend those you can't afford to offend." This kid knows how to avoid disasters and save his life. "It's a good thing to say, it's called knowing how to avoid disaster. If you don't say it well, it's not bad to be a turtle grandson!" the man still said disdainfully, with a look of contempt for Li Mengxiao in his eyes.
It didn't take long for a large sword to be lifted. "The spirit of the earth, the low-grade sword of the imperial grade. It is forged with a large number of earth-attribute spirit ores, which are also integrated with the ability of the gravity avenue. As a result, the warrior who uses this sword must have super arm strength to use it freely! The starting price of the Spirit of the Earth is two million medium-grade spirit stones. ”
The voice fell, and the scene fell into a state of coldness. Although there are many warriors who make swords on the spot, there are few who are good at using heavy swords. Li Mengxiao also frowned slightly when he saw this, "Damn, this Earth Spirit turned out to be a heavy sword, in this case, wouldn't I have to look for a sword technique suitable for the use of heavy sword." ”
Thinking of this, a hint of displeasure flashed on Li Mengxiao's face, but he still bid to speak, "Two million six hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones!" This time, Li Mengxiao gritted his teeth and directly quoted a high price. As soon as he heard this, there was an uproar around, and he didn't expect someone to offer such a high price, and then they talked about it.
Just when Li Mengxiao thought that everything was over, a very lazy voice suddenly interjected, "Three million!" When Li Mengxiao heard this, the color on his face suddenly became very ugly, and he could only increase the price again, "Three and two million!" This time Li Mengxiao did not increase the price too much, and the tone of the quotation was deliberately a little hesitant.
"Senior brother, are you interested in that sword?" the woman looked at the man on the side, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. "Just call a few times, just have fun!" After speaking, the man quoted again, "Four and a half million!" "Bang" Li Mengxiao angrily smashed the cup in his hand directly, "Five million!" The voice fell, Li Mengxiao made up his mind that if the other party dared to increase the price, he would give up immediately, anyway, he didn't need a heavy sword very much.
The "six million" man continued to quote, making up his mind to disgust Li Mengxiao. Listening to the other party's offer, Li Mengxiao picked up the water cup on the side and took another sip, "You won, I don't want this sword!"
When the voice fell, the man's face suddenly became very ugly, and he roared angrily in the private room, "Boy, you play with me! didn't say a word, just snorted coldly, as if to indicate that you have the courage to come.
After a quarter of an hour of coldness, the lady gathered her emotions and continued to shout. After a few lots in a row, a long sword with a red body was delivered.
The noble lady looked at the long sword on the plate, hesitated slightly for a moment, and then opened her mouth to continue to introduce, "The last auction item in this auction is an ancient sword. This sword was obtained from this auction house, the grade is unknown, only that it is a sword from a thousand years ago, and it can easily destroy the royal treasure, even if it is an imperial treasure, it can also leave traces on it. ”
After listening to the lady's introduction, Li Mengxiao's eyes flashed with a glimmer of essence, but he did not act rashly. After all, the previous two troubles still left a slight shadow in Li Mengxiao's heart. The noble lady then declared again, "This sword is not available to those with the highest reserve price." Feel free to bid. ”
A voice came from the private room where the "Four Million Medium-grade Spirit Stones" were competing with Li Mengxiao for the Earth Spirit before, and it seemed that they were determined to get this sword. As soon as the voice fell, the woman's voice that made Li Mengxiao extremely disgusted suddenly came, "Seven million medium-grade spirit stones!" Li Mengxiao listened to the sound of competition outside, and did not make much move. But at this moment, the Nine Heavens Killing Immortal Array in his body suddenly shook one after another.
At the same time, the red long sword on the auction table also trembled slightly. But because it is not very frequent, it has not been discovered. "What" Li Mengxiao was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but have a little doubt about the sword on the stage, "It can resonate with the Nine Heavens Killing Immortal Array in my body, what is the origin of this sword!"
Thinking of this, Li Mengxiao made up his mind to get this sword in his hands at all costs. At this time, the price of this sword had been raised by that Lu Tiegan to the price of 20 million medium-grade spirit stones. The woman also seemed to be in financial crisis, so she stopped offering.
"Twenty million for the first time, twenty million for the second time, ......" Before the lady finished speaking, Li Mengxiao quoted directly, "Thirty million!" Li Mengxiao's sudden offer surprised everyone present, but they didn't expect this person to have the strength to bid.
After Lu Tiegan heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he made up his mind to compete with Li Mengxiao, but at the moment when he was about to speak. The woman on the side burst out and stretched out her hand to gag the man's mouth. Lu Tiegan couldn't quote
, can only watch as the mysterious long sword is bought by Li Mengxiao. "Senior sister, why are you trying to stop me!" As soon as he recovered, Lu Tiegan couldn't help but be angry, and then looked at the woman beside him angrily. The woman looked at Lu Tiegan coldly, "Senior brother, this sword is useless to you and me, if that kid repeats his old tricks, won't you lose a fortune again!"
Lu Tiegan's face stiffened after hearing this, and then a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. Looking at her senior brother's appearance, the woman couldn't help but say, "Moreover, senior brother, you forgot." Sometimes you don't have to spend money to buy what you want!"
