Chapter Thirty-Seven: Ice Silk
"Ten thousand twelve!"
"Fifteen thousand!"
"Twenty thousand!"
As the prices in the arena continued to churn, the atmosphere of the auction hall always maintained **, and in just a moment, the auction price of a certain volume of Yellow Order Advanced Exercises had reached a height of 20,000.
Compared with the excitement of others, the Xiao family and his party did not immediately shout the price, they seemed not in a hurry, they didn't seem to be interested, or they were waiting for the end of the commotion of those little shrimps.
Of course, although Xiao Zhan and the others were silent, others did not dare to underestimate them.
Others unconsciously look up at them every time they call out a bid, and only call out a bid after a slight hesitation.
It's no wonder that they are so allergic, every time something good appeared before, the Xiao family was different from others who slowly raised the price, but shouted at almost double the price, and finally made the lot basically raise to an extremely terrifying high price, which discouraged others.
As the scramble continued for a moment again, the fierce voice finally weakened, and at the same time, Garebi, who was sitting side by side not far from the Xiao family, said lightly: "Thirty thousand!"
As soon as the price fell, the voices in the venue fell silent, and some people looked at the expressionless Garebi, and had to sit back in frustration, they didn't have the strength to compete with the Garebi family.
"Haha, Brother Garebi, your Garebi family has a big business, and you have to rob everyone for a mere roll of yellow-level fighting skills, what do you make others think?" Obappa, who was not far from Garebi, turned his head and joked happily.
"Hey... It's not good for my family to have money and compete fairly, and who would think that they have too many exercises...... Besides, we're just a drop in the bucket compared to some nouveau riche... Haha!" Garebi and Ogapa are still in adulterous love, so they don't care about each other's jokes, but laugh at each other's meaning.
"Haha, then I won't win people's love, and this volume of Yellow Order Exercises will be given to Brother Gale!" Obappa said arrogantly when he heard this, and as for what the others thought, he directly ignored it.
"Thank you very much...... then"
"Fifty thousand!" In the Xiao family, who had been silent, Xiao Zhan suddenly spoke faintly, interrupting Galebi's unfinished words.
The hall was silent, and all eyes suddenly shifted to Xiao Zhan, even Naobapa and Garebi were shocked by his sudden high price.
"Damn! It's like this again, this is the first time! This auction just lets you Xiao family play by yourself, and others are still participating in a fart!"
"Yes, Patriarch Xiao, although everyone knows that you are wealthy, you don't need to suppress all the good things at a high level, can I understand that you are showing off your wealth?" Obapa, who was next to him, also had a dark face, as if he had also been intercepted, so his tone was a little depressed and resentful.
Xiao Zhan glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "It's not okay to have money and compete fairly?" ”
Indeed, every time the Xiao family bids, they basically reach the bottom line of the value of the auction items, and if they exceed them, they will give up immediately, and they should not be wronged. Unless, of course, there is something that makes them want to get it, that's another story.
The Xiao family's arrogant and domineering behavior is the happiest Mitre Auction House and Zhao Peng, who have made a lot of money, but it also makes others very sad.
Garebi's face trembled, his eyes were a little hesitant, and after a while, he shook his head, this volume of Yellow Order Advanced Exercises, the value of itself is only around fifty thousand. He will obviously lose money if he continues, and now that the Xiao family is wealthy, it is undoubtedly an unwise decision to fight with the other party, and maybe he will be resisted at that time.
Obappa on the other side, when he saw Garebi retreating, he also shrugged his shoulders, although he was not happy with the Xiao family, but he was not stupid enough to be the first bird directly.
Sitting in the center of the two groups, the lord of Xiaocheng, who had not made a few shots from beginning to end, was indifferent, his eyes narrowed slightly, which meant that his inexplicable gaze continued to scan between the two sides, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently hooked up a playful arc.
"Patriarch Xiao Zhan bid 50,000 gold coins, but there are still people who increase the price?" Looking at the calm field, Zhao Peng smiled, and inadvertently swept over the Xiao family, the joy in his eyes was clearly visible, this time the Xiao family could become their fortune boy, and Zhao Peng, as a businessman, was naturally much more kind to them.
"Since no one has increased the price, then this Yellow Order Advanced Exercise "Yanmu Gong" will be purchased by the Patriarch Xiao Zhan!" Seeing that no one responded, Zhao Peng also accepted it when he saw it, and the small hammer in his hand was gently knocked on the table, and the buyer was decided.
Xiao Yue, who was sitting next to Xiao Lin, was a little crying and laughing, remembering the previous few times that the Xiao family had almost scared others into frightened birds at extremely high prices, and by the way, she had cheated people a few times, and she couldn't help but feel that she was really a loser if she was rich.
This auction is not so much an auction as a sweep of the Xiao family, full of local tyrant style, and he couldn't help but sigh in his mouth: "Now the title of the Xiao family's nouveau riche is determined." ”
When Xiao Lin heard this, he smiled disdainfully and said: "The nouveau riche is the nouveau riche, don't forget that strength is the essence of being based in the world, since there is money, it is still hidden, and if you don't take it out and convert it into strength, what is the difference between it and an idiot?"
"Hehe!" Xiao Lin's words are indeed understandable, Xiao Yue can't think of any reason to refute it, isn't this what he works hard to make money for, so he can only touch his nose and smile.
"Hmph! Speaking of being more generous!Xiao Yezi, you are not much worse, using 10,000 gold coins to buy a 'Yangyan Pill' that has no effect on cultivation, you are the real loser!" Xiao Yue beside him probed his head and interjected at Xiao Yue, with a sour tone in his tone, obviously still very concerned about Xiao Yue's statement that he would not lend him money.
"Uh... This is for my mother, I call it filial piety, you poor sour fart. Xiao Yue pulled the corners of her lips and retorted directly, her eyes full of mockery.
"You...... Then you can buy one for my mother too!" Xiao Li, who was speechless for a while, said angrily.
"Okay, Xiao Li, don't make trouble!" Xiao Lin saw that it was a shame for Xiao Li's nonsense, and directly gave him a burst and forcibly told him to shut up.
"Woo...!" Seeing Xiao Yue taking the opportunity to squeeze his eyebrows at him, as well as the snickering laughter from Xiao Ding beside him, Xiao Li was suddenly depressed and aggrieved in his heart, so he could only hold his head desolately, silently shedding tears in his heart.
Everyone in the Xiao family whispered here, but the auction on the stage continued under the auspices of Zhao Peng......
"Hehe, the next thing to be auctioned is a bit special, this list may not be the most precious in this auction, but its rarity is definitely second to none!" Accepting the exercise scroll, Zhao Peng waved his palm, and the light on the high platform dimmed, bent down slightly, and took out a silver plate from the platform, and in the silver plate, ten white objects the size of an index fingernail like cotton wool.
The white cotton wool glows slightly white, and against the silver plate, it emits a rather mysterious hazy light.
"The silk produced by the sixth-order demonic beast Ice Immortal Silkworm!"
Zhao Peng's voice fell.
"What?"
"Sixth-Order Demonic Beast!!"
As soon as the words of the sixth-order demonic beast came out, there was a sudden silence in the shooting venue.
Compared to the previous Yellow Order Advanced Exercises, the sensation caused by the Sixth-Order Demonic Beast was undoubtedly even more shocking.
Who doesn't know that in the entire empire, the powerhouses of the Douwang level are already legendary beings, and many of them have never seen them once in their lives! As for the sixth-order demonic beasts that are comparable to the Douhuang above the Douwang, it is even more legendary. Now that he could see something related to the sixth-order demonic beast, even if it was just a small silk thread produced by the sixth-order demonic beast, it was enough to make people shocked.
After being shocked for a moment, some people in the venue came back to their senses one after another, staring at the ten small white silk balls on the stage with a pair of blazing eyes, and even the turmoil that the Xiao family had just caused seemed to have been forgotten at this moment.
"Mr. Zhao, are you sure that this is really something related to a sixth-order demonic beast! But if it is really something related to a sixth-order demonic beast, why would it be put up for auction here? You must know that although our Utan City is not small, it is almost nothing compared to the luxurious place like the imperial capital, so if it is really valuable, why not put it in the imperial capital for auction?" After being shocked, a smart person immediately thought of what was wrong with it, and hesitated to speak.
"Yes, Mr. Zhao, the most important thing is what is the function of this thing, presumably the expensive auction house has already explored it, otherwise it will not be taken out, otherwise we don't know what the use is when we buy it back, it is better than a scrap metal, please explain!" The others are not stupid, and when they heard this, they also asked with some suspicions.
The other major families, including the Owl City Lord, also turned their puzzled eyes to the stage, and with Zhao Peng's explanation, as long as this thing was determined to be from a sixth-order demonic beast, no matter how valuable it was, it was enough for them to pay attention to it.
Xiao Yue, who was sitting in the back, exhaled softly, the sixth-order demonic beast Ice Silkworm, no wonder, this level of strength is still alive, even a bubble of will be regarded as a treasure. This silk may not be as valuable as the magic crystal of its body, or other flesh bones, but it is not light, but I don't know what this thing does!
Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, Zhao Peng also smiled bitterly in his heart, and said helplessly: "There are a total of ten pieces of this Ice Soul Silk, each of which is more than ten meters long, thinner than a human hair. And after the test of some of the family's Dou Ling-level powerhouses, even if they tried their best, they couldn't break it, and their tenacity was extremely terrifying! What's even more bizarre is that this kind of silk is very good at guiding the fighting spirit, if it is mastered by some people with strong soul power perception, it can even be commanded as easily as siblings!
But... Cough... To tell you the truth, the reason why I put it in Utan City for auction... It's a shame to say that if this kind of Ice Soul Silk can be made into an inner armor in sufficient quantities, then according to the assessment, it can at least resist the full force of the Dou Ling level powerhouse, and even if it is an ordinary blow against the Dou King powerhouse, it can more or less unload some of the attack power. It's a pity that this number is really small, only ten roots, and it is difficult to make anything useful at all, so it is only put in this Wudan City for auction!"
Although Zhao Peng was very helpless in his heart, he still calmly disappeared, about this Ice Silk, he didn't expect to be able to sell for a high price today, after all, it was too chicken.
"What, how can this be?"
"Isn't this a pit man?"
When Zhao Peng's words fell, everyone exclaimed, a little dissatisfied, even Xiao Lin and Xiao City Lord, the two great fighting spirit masters, did not frown. Since it is so useless, even if it is a sixth-order demonic beast, it is tasteless, why should it be put up for auction.
"Ahem... Ladies and gentlemen, although it is still unclear whether this mere ten silks can be of other uses, after all, it is a product of a sixth-order demonic beast, and everyone must be able to think of it if it is cherished at home, even if it is taken home, it is worth a lot!" Seeing that everyone was talking about it, Zhao Peng coughed lightly and defended.
"This... It's also ......!"
Hearing this, everyone nodded one after another, indeed, if the auction price is not very high, it is also a good choice to buy it back and collect it.
Despite this thought, the enthusiasm for it is no longer the same as before.
Different from everyone's doubts and hesitations, Xiao Yue in the audience heard what Zhao Peng said about the characteristics of Ice Silk. The eyes that no one noticed couldn't help but light up slightly.
Compared with other people's conjectures that are too narrow about the role of silk, Xiao Yue has experienced the era of information explosion in his previous life, and there are many fragments in his mind about what he saw in movies and television, which is enough for him to instantly understand how to give full play to the amazing value of this seemingly chicken rib ice.
For a while, a bright smile overflowed from the corner of Xiao Yue's mouth, and with a strong interest in her eyes, she looked at the ten clusters of ice silk emitting a glimmer of light on the stage.
